port the government. The idea that
the government can issue money for
the people to live upon is the same
as the idea that my hired man can is
sue certificates of my indebtedness
TO him for me to live on. Laughter
and applause-] The United States
got broke. 1t had no money. / have
been, I think, fixed that way a hun
dred times. Then it did as L did. 1t
had to go and borrow money, and
every greenback was forced loan.
The only difference between that of
the United States and mine is that
mine is not legal tender. If / had
the power 1 would have made them
so. We borrowed The money aud we
have got to pay it, and the people
have got to pay it, And the debt
represents the loss inflicted upon the
country by the war. That is abby
the war. All the powder burned, all
the shots thrown, all the horses. guns.
and everything in the aggregate is
represented by our 1ebt as so much
loss, and we never will be solvent
people until our net profits since the
war ST. all amount to as much as we
lost during the war. Then we are a
square, solvent people. Applause
The man that can't understand that.
there is no need of talking to on any
subject. Laughter.l This debt is to
be paid. Applause. As matter Of
fact we ought to make the Demo-
Gratis pay it. fApplause.] They lost
the case. Laughter and applause.
They ought to pay for it. All we ask
is that they pay their share, and /
tell you it is going to be paid. There
ris. in the first place, to secure that
debt a mortgage on a continent OF
land. There is mortgage on the
Republican party. [Applause.l Also
every blade Of grass growing in the
United States is a guarantee that
itshall be paid. Every ear of corn is a
guarantee that the debt shall be paid
Every hill is a guarantee that the
debt shall be paid. Every pine tree
growing in the sombre forest is "a
guarantee that the debt shall be paid.
Every thought is guarantee that the
debt shall be paid. And all the coal
put away in the ground by the old
miser the sun, is a guarantee that the
debt shall be paid. [Applause.l And
all the silver ard gold in the Sierra
Nevadas waiting for the miners pick
is guarantee that the debt shall be
paid, and every good man, and every
good woman, every babe in the era
die, and all the boys and girls bend
ing over their books at schools. and
every chap what is gong to
vote the Republican ticket is guar
antee that the debt shall be paid.
applause Why, don't you see, it
keeps coming, it keeps coming-[as a
telegram was handed himl-I have
been in that country. 1 have been
talking to this people.
~We have triumphed by an i'm
mense majority, carrying every Con-
gressional district and every county
in our State, something we have not
achieved since 1867
THE audience then gave three rous-
ing cheers and a tiger for James G..
Blaine, by whom the dispatch was
signed.]
And this dispatch is signed by that
man who clutched the Confederate
Congress by the throat and held them
until their foreheads became as their
records and until their tongues spoke
out like flags of truce. This is sign
ed by James G.. Blaine. lCheers.l
Now, then, the question is who is
most apt to fulfill it, the party who |
made it and swore ii was constitu-
tional and legal, or the party vho
swore it was not constitutional7i I
Every time a Democrat or a rebel !
sees greenback it says to him, Il

sees a grcenback it says to him, "You

Cheers.
