much mistaken u the bill before the House
wAs not downright liquidation. This note
In his hand WAS q promise Of the Govern
ment 10 pay him $40. but no date was hxed
for payment. The notc Was issued In 1879

had enacted . law declaring that this debt
Of the Government should be paid on the

ment must keep its promise faithfully. or
Il would become the leader Of all the repu-
diators In the land. including every default.
ing town. city and Stats. The question Of
honor Vas the central and vital point In
the discussion. He criticised the opening
speech made by Phillips, saying that con
tractisn Of tho currency under resump-
ton has no moro TO do with the present
sufferings Of tho country than II had to do
with the frozen feet Of the Turks In
SchipkA Pass. The Limitation OF paper
currency should be left TO adjust itself
under . free banking system. guided by
the eager. intelligent and aggressive enter
prise Of the people. There was but one

country was now shaken by the wild blast
Of . grand currency illusion. which had
swept over the plains Of the South and the
prAiries Of tho West. carrying the House
BY storm and threatening TO engulf the
national integrity. The gresnbAck WAS
the most powerful enemy the country hal
ever encountered. slavery alone excepted.
Il Was . fraud. II Was q shame. II famil.
iarized the individual and public con.
science with shams. IL had muddied all
all the springs Of honest thrift and solid
enterprise. had confused and misled tho
public Judgment. hal sapped the courage
and wisdom Of the Federal Treasury. and
had given immense comfort 10 dema

ton Was repealed by the bill under con-
alteration. He quoted from the st. Louis
platform. which denounced the Republican
party for not having taken any stops
toward resumption. and yet the Democratic
party had brought In . bill which repealed

Monroe said II needed but Q little more
