FDBLIstt LYING.

lDe feuicdl o0llUch party Is HoJ only tne
national thief party but the national lying
party. It has won its chief distinction by
stealing aud lying. For thirteen consecu
tive years radical officials stole from the
revenues of the country 800 ,O00, 600 annual
| ly. Grant appointed thieves 10 office and
robbed the south, radical thieves plundered
| the poor ignorant free Omen, radical agents
stole from the savsges, and rs these crimes
have been brought TO light radical organs
have continually engaged 10 an effort TO
cover them up with lies. Among the lies
which are the most persistently
urged upon the people B this, that
the men who originally purchased
| the bonds OF the government were those
who sought most earnestly to preserve the
Union. Everybody knows this to be q lie
made out OF whole cloth. Subjected to the
most searching aud exsoting analysis, not
particle OF truth will be found in the story.
These bond purchasing Union savers took a
deprec 'ated currency and purchased bonds
bearing high rate OF interest 10 gold II
was a speculation, and that was all; and at
convenient time they had the contract with
the government changed, by which they
robbed the people-the government-of at
least S6oo, 0O0, coo at one swoop. This grand
steal which, for deep and dam nirg depravity,
exceeds all the bank robberies that have oc-
CURED during The century, the radical
party industriously tries to conceal
by lying. The people long
since discovered the trick, and have been
kicking the party out of power. At scrilical
period in the history OF the government its
war power was evoked, gold and silver were
discarded. and ''iat m oney"-greenba
took their place. This infamous lying and
stealing party declared that ''fiat money"
should pay the soldiers, while gold only
should pay the bondholder. This was q
fraud, and the lies that have been told to
hide II from view are sufficiently numerous
to damn the universe. The people believe
that the contract should be adhered 20, and
thatsInce greenbacks bought the bonds, gre en-
backs should pay the bonds. But when this
is mentioned, the organs of the bon6holders
the radical thieves and liars, the men who
saw the people robbed and gave their
consent for consider ration, raise a teTr. &c
hue and cry about The sacred obligations OF
the government public fuitb, etc, TO the
eud of the chapter. These pirate never he'd
e word OF sympathy for the people. Their
burdens never extorG from them a word of
administration. Sbylocks, money sharks,
fnsnclal cutthroats. business pirates ADD
bankrupt court wreckers are the special ob
jscis of the tender regards of TIE radical
party. 1t has lived and grown rich by steal
ings, and it is in power by lying rising |
by regular graduation from the lie of u snea1
thief to the monstIous crime of perjury bar. |
gained for by john Sherman and his confed- |
crate copspirators, OF whom fully sixty are |
now in Office, receiving the rewards of their !
crimes. The democratic party demands that |
contraction shall cease THAT failure may cease. |
1t demands that with gold and silver there |
shall be added sufficiency of greenbacks to |
transact the legitimate business OF the coun-
try. Ii demands that radical lies shall be |
stamped out and that radical thieves shall be |
punished. The democratic party does lot |
single out the bondholder as the man be 'ore |
whom the people shall kneel, like canes, |
to receive such burdens as they may choose
to lay upon their backs. This idea is gain
ing ground. 1t is advancing. The age OF
steal and of lies is passing away with the rad
zeal party, and the people are attuning their
voices to hosannas
