The Democratic Record.

The following are the votes on
the financial question, in Congress,
since 1862:
On Juue 26, 1862, Mr.. Holman, a
Democrat, offered the following /:
"That nothing in this act shall i'm
pair the rights of the States to tax
the bonds, notes and other obliga-
tions as issued under this act"
The vote was, ayes-6S Democrats
and s Republicans; nays-77 Re-
puhlicans.
On February IL, 1868, the House
voted on the national bank bill I:
For, 3 Democrats, IS Republicans I;
against, AZ Democrats, % Repnb-
licans. In the Senate-for, 9 DEM
ocrats; against, IL Democrats.
Thus the Republican party is re-
sponsible for the existence Of our
national banks.
Gu April Is, 1864, bill to con-
time the national banks was voted
against solidly by the Democrats
aud only one Republican voted
with them in the House. In the
Senate, the Democrats voted solid.

which were payable in green0ack'''
shonld remain so. The Repubh-
cans voted solidly against it.
On March 20, 1869, in the House,
Cumberland Gap Morgan, an OHIO
Democrat, introduced resolution
providing for the taxation oil out
standing bonds. The Democrats
voted sclidly, 81 for the motion ;
the Republicans sohdly, lOI against
/ it.
In 1870, an act was pending for
funding the greenback bonds into
coin bonds. which robbed the peo-
ple of 100000, GOO. The Demo.

Republicans lG noes, 3 ayes.
January 81, 1870, Mr.. McNeely,
Democrat, offered a resolution that

resolution in favor of greenbacks,
looking TO the withdrawal of the
national bank notes and ISSUANCE
of greenbacks in their stead. Fiji
ty-three Democrats voted "aye," .

In 1873 silver was demonetized
by the bad faith of Republican,
Mr.. Hooper, who said that the bill
had been submitted to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and met bis
approval. The ayes and noes were
not called, and this enormous fraud
was pushed through without the
knowledge of any of the members
except Hooper.

voted on in the Senate, 81 Repub-
licans east their votes in its favor,
and only one against, while the
Democrats voted solidly against it.
In the House the Republicans vot-
ed 1876 ayes and - noes, while the
Democrats voted solidly II against
it.
A Democratic House, in 1876,
voted 81 ayes to repeal The resump-
ton act, to sc Republican noes.
The Republican Senate killed this
measure of relief. When the hill
to remonetize silver was before the
House the Republicans voted three
to one for it, while the Democrats
voted ten 10 one, and n Republican
Senate DESTROYED its usefulness.
On November %, 1871, the hill

Democrats voted for the repeal,
while % Republicans voted against
