qthe National Democracy and the
Financial Measures IN the Interest
of the Money Power.
4 thinn tn he remembered to

A thing to be remembered to the
credit of the National Democracy, is
their constant opposition to the ruinous
financial policy of the Republicans in
the interest Of the money power The
very men who are now assailing it know
that the only hope of deliverance from
these meas sures is in union of Northern
Democrats with the South. Look at
the Northern Democratic record on
these questions.
When the bill was submitted taxing
the government bonds and securities
held bvthe banks in the different States,
the Democratic party in both houses
voted in mass in favor of the measure,
boldly taking the ground that the refu-
sal to tax this immense sum, 50, 500, ,000,-
900, was an unrighteous act, oppressive,
unjust, and unconstitutional.
Again, on July Z, 1870, when Sher-
mans proposition to increase the amount
of national bank note circulation at the
expense of the greenbacks was before
Congress, the vote in the House stood
four for it and forty-four against it. All
Democrats.
Again, just previous to this, on June
IA, 1870, Randall, the present Speaker,
offered a substitute for Sherman's bill,
which substitute. proposed to issue
$500, 900, 900 in greenbacks to take up
the national bank notes. On this prop
osition the Democratic vote stood /;
Yeas, 42, nays, 5.
Again, on this very same day, Nor
gan, Democrat, of Ohio, offered a
substitute repeating the national bank
act, providing for the issue of S400, ,000,-
900 to redeem the national bank issues,
and providing that the grankbacks
should be receivable for everything
The Democratic vote on this proposition
stood For the substitute, 81, against
it, 9.
Again, January II, 1870, McNeely,
Democrat, offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resolred, That the committee on
banking and currency be and they are
hereby instructed to report, at an early
day, Il bill providing for Withdrawing
from circulation the national bank cur
rency, and for issuing instead of such
currency, treasury notes usually known
as "greenbacks."
The Democratic vote on this resolu-
ton stood: Ayes, 80, nays, 2.
Again, March IS, 1869, an act to
strengthen the public credit" was on
it's passage, which act proposed to pay
United States bonds in gold instead of
greenbacks. The vote stood in the
Senate: Democrats, all nays, House,
aye, 5, nays, 36.
Again, in regard to the resumption
act of January II, 1879, which propos-
ed to retire the legal-tender notes and
abandon the field of currency to the
national banks, the vote stood Senate
ayes 81, nays, II. Every Senator
voting aye was a Republican, while of
the ii nays, II were Democrats and 3
were Republicans. House--ayes, 1876,
all Republicans, Democrats, none !!
Nays, 50, of whom 74were Democrats,
and only "a Republicans.
We commend the foregoing record to
the Greenback leaders who pretend to
believe that the Democratic party can
not be trusted upon the financial issues.

in the States of Kansas and Illinois 1t
shows Kansas has repudiated So, SAT 900,
and sixteen different counties and nine
cities refuse to pay interest on their
debt, which aggregates S3,547 900.
Seventeen counties and FIVE cities and
towns in Illinois have refused and still
refuse to pay interest on their debt, ag-
gregating S8,517, ,OOO And here is
something from the staunch Republi-
can State of Minnesota;
Washington Post.
1t sounds harsh to charge a good Repub-
lican State like Minnesota with repudiation.
That is a severe term. Minnesota merely
declared that she would not pay, and con-
sistently sticks to that declaration. She
had gotten her railroads, built by foreign
and New York capital, and they couldn't
be carted away. Why should she pay for
that which she already had in assured pos
session? That was the logic Of Radical
Minnesota when she decided to liquidate a
class of claims known as railroad bonds
But it must not be inferred that Republi-
can States are ever guilty of repudiation.

latter to dinner, and placed him at the

to the conversation an illusion to the
