Republicans who met at Cincinnati
in May, 1872, and exposed and de-
nounced the schemes of sen. Grant
and his retainers would have joined
the Democrats in opposing it. 9th
er means had to be resorted to. The
European and American agents of
the bondholders found a ready ally
in Samuel Hooper, of Massachu-
sets, Chairman of the Committee
on Coinage, who, by fraud, chican-
cry and falsehood, stole the bill de-
mOnetizing it through Congress so
clandestinely that there was not, l
venture to say, a dozen members of

that it was done. Even Newspa-

cry that we are violating the ''plight-

THE RESUMPTION ACT.
Having accomplish ed so much,
having repudiated the legal tenders
and destroyed the value of the sill
yer dollar, only one thing remained
to give the bondholders control of
the money and property of the
country, and that was to pass the
resumption act. Their subsurvient
retainers IN Congress. on the rec
ommendation of their most efficient
ally, the then President, obeyed
their orders, and on the LIST of Jan
uary, 1879, all the debts of the coun-
try must be paid in gold. Nothing
can prevent it but the united action
of the Democratic party.

evils wrought. You cannot look
before you, nor behind you, nor on

and destruction produced by Radi-
cal political policy. The recent
strikes we're but the reckless and

who felt the effects of intollerable
wrongs and struck at the only OBJ
jects within their reach.
LEGAL TENDER NOTES.
Not content with the enormous
profits secured by vicious legisla.
ton relative to gold and silver, the
bondholders have been waging a
constant and successful war upon
the legal tender notes of the gov
eminent. They first secure their re-
pudiation at the custom house, so
that their interest must be bought
by merchants and other importers
at any premium they could coerce
in order to pay the debts due to the
United States on imports, and they
have steadily resisted all efforts
made by myself and others in the
custom house, the main argument
being that the faith of the nation
was pledged to hold the gold re-
ceived from customs to secure the
payment of the bondholders' inter
est in gold.

such plighted faith. / deny that
Congress can by any pledge tie the
hands of future Congresses, or

'Dive, thoughts, Clarence comes"
This sentiment was called very
forcibly to my mind upon reading
the last communication from your
Long Branch genius, and well may
the wit and zest of cultivation pale
before the shaft of his vulcanized
rustic mind. l well might say, in
the language of that great reader of
the human heart, ''Now is the win

dreary because of his shrewdness in
satire and deep souled wit. Then

as myself have "served their king

their God" Surely your CORES

in collecting all his great powers to-
gether in making a wonderful fort

after having passed his brilliant
achievements in this much desired
art, under his own critical eye he
seeks to show to the world that 81,

and surely an impartial witness
would not be forced to draw much
upon his Imagination to conclude
that he had never been off of said
heath-at least, further than Park

Steele's blacksmith shop. OF course
my communications, by his lord

possibly be of interest or profit to

And fill with sweetest song;
And sticks and stones,

And bring to life

And smile in sweet assent.

was a great blessing and comfort to
many who were so fortunate as to
hear it.

preached by the Rev. John Mat
