at the same time issued bonds, interest
bearing and non-interest bearing. Ne
cessity compelled the United States to
run in debt or repudiate debts already
contracted, and surrender to the South.
The loyal North was not only willing to
fight rebellion, but to borrow money and
pledge its honor for the payment of the
same The unloyal North was opposed
to borrowing, and the same class has al
ways howled about paying the debts.
The doctor may object to the national
banks, but unless he can show some bet
ter system, we shall be constrained to
think that he is wrong and the MAORI
ty are right in thinking that the present
system is better than no system, or any
the doctor is likely to suggest.
The next point the doctor undertakes
to make is in regard to our statement
that the Democrats will receive the en-
tire Catholic vote north. and the vote of
every state that composed the old south
ern aristocracy.
In our article which the doctor oper-
ated upon by his philosophical seal
pei, we stated in substance that Tilden
strength will be found only in those
states controlled by old rebel influences
at the South, and in the North in those
states where the Catholic vote will be
given solid for the Democratic nominees.
The doctor doesn't deny the above fact,
but undertakes to show that there is
nothing to be feared from having the
government in the hands of those who
owe their places to the old rebel voters
and the influence Of powerful church.
Those who remember the statements
made by Alexander H. Stevens in his
great speech against session; those who
know the undeniable truth that the
N South did always rule the party; and
a those who have watched the sycophantiC
% zeal of the present democratic members
of congress and the democratic party tC
do obeisance to the South, will have
