of Republicans to see to it that the power OF

Senator's. Although we are not sure we are
able to maintain majority in the Senate,

The speaker alluded to the fact that by the

Mr. Evarts spoke of the economy with
which the public service was managed, then

He believed that no one had any thing to

would not have assigned them. There Is

finances of the country, and upon this point
Mr.. Evarts said: We have now made up the
finances SO that the legal tender is werth
that II there is any thing the people insist
upon. it is paper money, and 1t must be good
and convertible into gold and silver, and
that paper money is always and everywhere
good. They will not be driven back to the
actual carriage of gold and silver on their
eminent to turning what is valueless into
valuables. Fiat money involves the neces.
sity that when fiat Is money every thing Is to

lie men who go up and down the country
using arguments that insult the peoples IN.
telligencc. Common honesty, the basis of
our institutions, is never to be turned adrtft
under such arguments as those. We need not
fear that the people, when they know what
they mean, win put much faith in their wis.,
dom or Instructions, but there is q notion
which beguiles some that an unlimited
amount OF money may be put up, and be
saving to the people In interest; but these re. |
sources do not proceed far enough. There is
no way by which money can be paid out eX- |
cept by an appropriation of Congress. We
have already more United States money than |
is necessary for the use of the country. Then |
or money used In buying up bonds, but econ |
omy is the policy of both parties. If you say |
exchange your now payable bonds and take |
something that is not payable at all we could |
IT, for that would be an indirect |
of public faith. Let them not |
undertake what no government would be al |
lowed for a moment to do. Labor for labor |
is at the bottom of every species of payment, |
whether by barter or otherwise. There Is a |
ance by the people of this or that doctrine |
that the Republican party would uphold pa |
per money, but trust no man to make that |
money.
In conclusion, Mr.. Evarts said: 1--WE may |
be able to range the great State of New York |
once more in the column of Republican States |
If you do this, and give us the Judge of the |
Court of Appeals, and add to Congressman |
and Republican Senators, and I'LL the Lower |
next President of the United States, whoever |
he may be, will be an honest man, a lover of his |
country and good Republican" lEnthu-
