! THE DESPIsED GREENBACK OF THE OLD wAH
! TIMES.
They repudiated it in 1862, and declared
it unconstitutional. When we anted
| money to carry on the war and put down
rebellion; when we needed food and cloth
! ing for our brave boys in blue, your "hon-
i est" Democrat denounced the greenback
as device of He'll. Now they coolly de-
mand that We issue 100000, 900 of them,
and knock them down again to forty cents
on the dollar. l tell you, fellow citizens,
| this is flank rebel movement. We want
no initiation to ruin our credit. What we
want is enough subsidiary coin to meet
! the business wants Of the nation. We
have enough silver here in Nevada to pro-
duce it, and this Democratic greenback
| movement threatens the dearest interest
of every citizen of this State.
We hear a great deal of talk just now
about
REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE AND DEMO
CRATIC INFRINGEMENT.
We first begin to hear of this wonderful
retrenchment in 1860, when money was
needed to put down Democratic re-
belliOn. We have heard of it ever since
whenever the Republican party has wanted
money to redeem the pledges of the nation
and keep secure the public credit. In 1875
the Democrats had control of the House.
They began at once to retrench, and they
now tell you that they saved $50, 900, 900
in that year. 1t is liel They didn't
save one dollar. The next year there was
a deficiency of S15, 200 900, and they had
to vote the money to pay it. That was the
way in which they retrenched." The
appropriations which they were compelled
to make in 1878 amounted to S28, 900, 900
more than those of 1876. There is moth
ing in that kind of economy. 1t is simply
creating debt for future Congress to
pay. l approach now with uncovered
head, and l may almost say with unsan-
daled feet, feature of the Democratic
party which Won will all recognize instinct
lively.
ITS REMARKABLE "HoNE5TY AND PURITY.
The Democracy, it is true, has not en-
ployed much of the power of tho nation
for the last eighteen or twenty years, but
whenever they have been given the
chance, the boys have done well / need
not refer to the Tweeds of the past. The
history is interesting nearer our own day.
1t is but few months ago that John B.
Bresln skedaddled to Canada with few
millions of stolen money. In Ohio last
counties, and in twenty-one of them there
were defalcations. There's Democratic
honesty for you 1t is but three months
ago that the Democratic Treasurer of Mis-
souri, stole $500, 900. and they haven't got
it back yet. l only mention these little
facts because if a Republican official steals
8 postage stamp q terrific howl is made,
and the whole Republican party is charged
with corruption. Such things really
amount to but little. There are dishonest
men in both parties, and neither one can
make any peculiar claim to purity. The
Democratic party assumes to be the
friends of labor. Great God !
THE PARTY WHOSE VERY FOCNDATIoS STONE
WAS HCMAN SLAVERY,
Who inaugurated bloody war TO prevent
free labor from coming into competition
with slave labor, now calls itself the friend
and protector Of the wOrkingman Put
YOUR hand, if yOu can, on one specimen Of
legislation that has ever been enacted in |
favor of labor by the Democratic party. |
You may search the records of the country |
from its birth, and you will find no such |
thing. The Republican party is the friend |
Of labor. We Northern mudsills are the !
ones who have striven to dignity and ele- |
vate labor-not slave labor, but free, in
telligent labor. That labor Republicanism
'avors because it is of and with it. The !
Republican party never has looked, and
never can look, upon the cries of poverty
Or the distress of Workingmen with indif
ference 1t has ever been heart and soul
With the cause of labor, and every intel
igent laborer knows it.
In the Democratic platform the charge
S made that Chinese immigration has
H. Il
ind the implication is that the Repub lican
party is to blame for that. That treaty
vas made at 8 time when all Europe was
,ontending for the trade with China, and
Eheu it was concluded we congratulated
ourselves upon having accomplished q
wonderful thing. Precisely how much, if
nv, good has resulted to this country, I
10 not know. But / do know that it was
lnder Democratic National Administra-
ion that the first Chinaman came to this
ountry, and that it was under Demo-
ratio State Administration that they first
anne and were welcomed to California.
