one great TACT, that restoration of local
self-government In the Southern, states
has been followed by good order and
thrift and that an extension of this Inn
provement in the condition of the South
will largely contribute to the wealth and
prosperity of the whole country. IL the
great resources of the South were devel-
oped to the extent that they can be, aud
would be under q wise national admin
stratiou, ber cotton, and rice, and tobacco
and sugar would soon turn the balance
OF trade IN our favor, for there Is always
a foreign demand for the surplus produc-
tons OF thoss states, and
GOLD WOULD FLOW INTO THE COUNTRY
instead of out of 1t, as has been and yet il
the case under the short-sighted and
wicked policy that has been pursued by
the Rspu blican party in It's oppression OF
the people Ia that section of the land.
B fore the war the products of The South
wsre psrhsps the Creates source OF wea th
70 the country, and so would they now DC
had it not been for the csrpes-bag rule
which b IS retarded the proper develop
ment of her vast resources and blighted
every effort to restore her former prOduc-
Give power. The Republican leaders can
not or will not see that the more the
South produces the more she Will
want of Northern productions. O1e
great cause of the present financial
troubles In the North is over-production
aud that has been occasioned by the lack
of a market for for the surplus products OF
her industry. If the Republican embar
90 which has been placed upon tie
| industry of the South were removed, the
result would be her speedy return to
prosperity, which would soon open large
and increasing market for Northern pro-
auctions, thus unlocking the wheels OF
ka fn- wi
through the great commercial arteries,
and furnishing employment for thousands
of workingmen VINO are now idle and de-
spondent. Bat the men who now have
the control of the government will not
permit this, aud right here, my friends, is
ONE VERY STRONG ARGUMENT
for q thorough change in the sd-
ministration of the government. and
In favor OF that wholesome re-
form which must come outside OF
the Republican party. This is the sort OF
reconstruction" the Southern states are
in need or to-day; aud not only the South
ern states but every part of this tsX-bur-
dened, pl1ndered and oppressed land.
REPUBLICAN PLEDGES AND THEIR VALUE.
What is the burden OF the spseches OF
the great lights OF the Republican party,
from Morton down TO Kip strickf The
latter in his recent letter to Hayes, the Rs
publican nominee for the presidency, thus
! tersely. honesty and forcioly expresses IT.:
he says nothing will save Indiana from a
Dam 1crs ic triumph but "a bloody sh RI
/ campaign" and plenty OF money 20 iDfiu-
! ence the Indap sudents, whom. he says "ar5
poor and needy" aud TO buy the purchas-
able vote. That is the plain
| English OF his letter. Now l ask you, my
| friends, what policy do the Republican
| leaders suggest t. lift the country trom is
present depressed condition? Morton en-
| deav ors to ere ate the impression that all
is lovely aud prosperous. From whom
| does be get this imprcssi N? Is it from
| the men who are Obliged to earn their
| bread by the swe8s OF thsir brows? n
has put himself forward as the leader OF
the Republican party, aud .or many years,
at the beginning OF every canvass, he has
eudesvored to sound the kev-note OF the
campaign for his party. For fear tina.
some one else might infringe upon his
pstent right in tnst business. he lett his
seat in the Senate just at ths close OF tbs
session OF Congress, az the very time o. all
| others when he most imporse ut legi Station
| brought Up to sound his campaign key
note or To- give ak Or sslon to whai he
considers wise Thoughts upon political
affairs aud to forcs a co tinuatloD OF his
leadership upon the pa ty.
ALAS POOR NORTON
The rebuks n received at the Cincinnati
Convention should have taught him the
value of little m )dessy. Hs fondly ex-
pected to recsive the nomination for the
presidency. Tha, has bsen the SUNNI of
his ambition, the bright day-dresm of his
! political lie. But while his party friends
have been willing to use him to further
their ends, they hal no idea, much
less intention, of giving him that
reward for his partisan services
| They preferred a man who, though he has
held high official positions, has never
| given evidence OF even me1iocrity in abili-
| ty or has suggested or even advocated any
/ Measure that would reform .he wrongs in
| the administration OF the government. or
r.treuch the puolic expenditures. And
if the people want Grsntlsm Ia public at
| fairs perpetu sted, the election of Hayes
| will bring about that result. Is it at all
probable that Hayes, ii he should be elect
| ed, will seer Gear of the Chambers and
| Camerons of his party. 10 whom he will be
indebted for bis election, aud to whom he
will look for support to sustain his admin
| istrA ion7 Such al idea Is not only i'm
probable; 1t Is preposterous.
WHERE REF I'M MUST COME FROM.
| Now, my friends, without making any
distinction as to party associations, | ask
You what hops is shsrs of ths Rspu blican
party reforming these abuses? Is it not
true that reform aud retrenchmsnt must
come from without the party tbs has b sd
the posss sion aud entire control Of the
govsrumsat during the pas. eleven years?
That party had the opportunity to refDr IN
and retrench, but what SGD did Its leaders
| ever take ia ths dlrestiDn9 Nothing was
dons til the mOctacy obtained ma
| jor tv in the lower branch OF Congress. and
| it must bs renemba red that in their eff )rts
for resreacnm 3at they mst with the steady
opp Jsition of the Republican leaders
