ping. Here MIR. Marshall, u large
shipowner, testified directly Oppo-
site, and said that doing away with
prohibitory laws and the reduction
of taxes were the true remedies.
Mr.. Graham then broke into civil
service reform and the settling OF
poor people on prairie lands, which
he favored. Horatio ID. Stephens
suggests as II remedy the re-
n,oval of many taxes on Industries
and placing them on the aristocracy
and wealthy. There is too much
imitation. and not enough of taxa
ton OH the wealthy classes. He
would restore the income tax. Mr..
Strasser, president of the cigar
makers union, demanded that the
importation of coolies to San Fran
be stopped. More cigars are made
now than evor before, yet business
is worse.
GOV. HENDRICKS TALKS.
Indiana, Aug. 5.-The Democratic
campaign opened here to-day by
ex.Gov. Hendricks in Il speech at
Masonic hall. The followingisa brief
summary of the speech: After
referring to the evil results of the
unequal apportionment of the State
by the act of 1872; of the crime
perpelrated in placing u man i'll the
presidential chair not chosen by the
people, he said Need remind you
that the next legislature will choose
IA United States senator, and that
the political character of the senate
may depend upon that choice. !
suppose the support of the demo
cratic Legislative ticket means MIR.
VOORHEES, for senator, and the re-
publican ticket General Harrison.
They are both gentlemen of ability,
but they represent very different
political opinions and purposes. In
voting directly tor senator, how
would your ballot be casts You are
sincere and e~arnestin youropinions,
and will not throw your votes away
upon a legislative ticket that you
know canu0t be elected, nor do you
wish to hold an uncertain position
between the two parties to be bar
gained with or for. How, then,
will You voter Mr.. VOORHEES, be-
lieves that national bank notes
should be retired, and in lieu thereof
there should be issued by the gov
ernment an equal amount of trea-
sury notes, and that the right to
issue paper money as well as COINS
the exclusive prerogative of the
government. He also believes con
gress should provide for taxation
by the States of the United States
treasury notes as other money is
taxed, and he believes the policy of
Gen. Grants administration, OF the
present administration in convert
ing our debt into - foreign debt, is
unwise and ineXpedient, and that
the true policy Of our government
and the best interests of the people
would be subScrved by making 1t u
domestic debt by atfordiug the PEG
pie the most favorable and practical
opportunities for investment of their
savings in the funded debt of
the United States. lie believes
also in the restoration OF the silver
dollar, with full legal tender quality,
in payment OF all debts, both public
and private, and that the coinage
thereof SlOuld be made rs free and
unlimited as that of gold. Youare
to be told that the success of the
democratic party means payment
for slaves and Southern claims, even
to bankruptcy of the treasury. Can
it be necessary to say that the four
tccnth amendment to the conStitu-
ton fOrbids much that you are as
sured we will do. The constitu-
provisions are that neither
United States, nor any State shall
assume or pay any debt or obliga-
ton injured in aid of i%nsurreCtion
or rebellion against the United
States, or any claim for loss or
emancipation of any slaves. Any
man who tells you that an obliga,
ton can be assumed or paid in VIC.
lation Of the constitution, deals
with you. Do you ask what
| think of Hayes Southern policy
He has none. He and his admins
Iration are incapable of any policy.
but what they have done in the
| approve. Gen. Grant will
probably be the republican candi-
and his candidacy will signify
! strong government, always pre-.
pared to hold the people in control.
