Mr!IHgRMAN reviews the financial condi-
ton 81 the country in:lS73, and previously
He ds.s not attempt tosay what caused the
pinto Of 1878. But he says that Congress
at.ibs next session attempted to end REM
edy. .ior the troubles OF the .country. In
Janumy, 1875, the resumption act, was
passed. y" This" says he, 9 was q Republic
can, measure" It was indeed. And il
that measure is not OF Itself enough to
cause the defeat OF the Republican party IN
1880, then the people are INCAPABLE oil, gov,
.erning themselves ~ -. !! ! =. =.
In this connection Mr. SHERMAN pokesI
fun at his :. old friend, Judge KELL Ell, Of
Penpsylvania,na u for acertain's predictions
wbichthc made.in the House 81 Represent
tatires,in 1871 ia regard to the evils that?
would rcsuE from the operation of4the re.
sumption. act Also at the Democratic Ma
tlonal Convention OF 1916 and at varfous
individual Democrats, Including his bro
theEs brother IN law, General EWING. We
are not at nil airaid i that the, Republicans
can make any .poiirical capital either In
Maine or elsewhere out OF the resumption
act. On the contrary, WEI would advise
them, il we desired to do them a kindness,
ftosay as little as possible in regard toat,
land the results Of its operation. -. ,~r
Mr.. SHERMAN enlarges upon 'the success
s,of resumption" He declares, however.
ttrrre was czxtcuuru
by Congress in aid OF it; but that, ON the
contrary, Congress Increased the paper cir
.-culation. AS tone house Of Congress was
Republicans. Mr.. SHERMAN wilt not be able
ito make any capital out Of this fact. He
then goes on TO exult over the s.results Of
resumption" and glorifes himself exceed
1ingly. He boasts OF how he has, managed
1.-THE finances OF the Government, and OF the
1lowrate Of interest at which the public debt
has been refunded, and Of the,fall in the
rate OF interest upon money in different
parts Of tho country. Bat he boasts OF his
weak point. IT would not be difficult, we
think, ioEsany Democrat of good speaking
'salents aud OF accurate information to turn
Ethe tables upon Mr.. SIBERIAN In regard to
this matter Of the "results OF resumption"
Mr.. EWING will tell him a.thing or two
about 1t before the second Tuesday 10 Oc-
4ober next il he will take the trouble to re-
peat his boasts before that time in Ohio...s
:Mr. SHERMAN does not-eRes his speech
Mithont pay Ing his respects ito the Green,
hackers. As no. part Of bis speech; strikes
nsss being marked by any signs OF ability,
itis not necessary to say that he does not
adtauce any arguments which viii damage,
thu Greenbackers In Maine 3nf Elsewhere.
BH 1t Is none Of enr. business to. defend
thete lunstic-; and SO Mr.. SHERMAN. may
have isSwili with them.
MIR. sHaRMAN wrotr this speech, we re-
peat, to advance his personal interests. It
IS as carefully worded as II he were already
the nominee OF his party for President. But
we do not think that 1t Rill add to his repu-
tation.

certain that Secretary Sherman can control
