per cents alone preserved their frmness at 1853.
This decline is not surprising for it is not unnatural
that home and foreign holders should desire to avail
themselves of the present premium on the bonds.
1t IS thought to be not unlikely that the 1868 and
1865 will be called in before another year is over,
and redeemed with the net proceeds of a four
per cent loan to succeed the present 4l2 per
cent loan. Assuming this to be true, and the
1868 are no better in the way of a permanent
investment than the bonds now on the eve of being
called in. The amount of four per cents required
to complete the refundng of the 5.20s in 1877,
and to pay off the SIX per cents of 1881 when due,

gust of Mr.. Cameron, who was anxious that Il

platform speech, taking ground in favor ofEpecie
payment, and arraigning the Democracy as the
soft money or initiation party. His speech was
not that of statesman, but merely a partizan.
He pointed out no remedy for the existing
evils, and confined himself to reviewing the
past history of the finances of the country, Civ
ing as an excuse for the action of the Radical
party in reference to the issuing of grcenbacks
the necessities of war. His speech will hardly
promote his Presidential aspirations.
Mr.. Tarbox, of Massachusetts. followed, and
replied to Mr. Blaine. defending with ability
the Democratic policy, and charging home,
with effect, upon the Radicals, their many mis-
deeds.
