In 1860, under Democratic policy, we
had TO pay out all the specie which We
produced, and a little more, to meet the
excess OF imports over exports. In
1880, under Republican policy, we not
only raise from the earth 73 per cent.
more OF the precious metals, but kept
it all, and import beside from foreign
countries S75.7UO,000 in eleven months
TO pay for the excess of our exports over
imports. In 1860, raising $40 000, 900 of
specie, We were paying out SIS, ,000, 900.
and getting poorer or running into debt
every year. In 1880, raising $50 900 .000i
OF specie, we are also receiving for our'
surplus products sold $40. 900 600 more'
in specie, and 30 are paying debt or ac-
cumulating wealth at the rate of $780,
00000 a year. The difference is one|
which every intelligent man under
stands is due almost entirely TO the
changed policy OF the Government in
regard TO finances, taxation, develop
ment OF industries, and substitution OF
free for slave labor.
There are few evidences OF the won-
derful changes which Republican rule
has wrought in the condition OF the
country. They are felt In the better
employment which labor 1nds, in the
higher wages which the workman re.
ceiyes, In the innumerable eomiorta
that he now enjoys, which twenty
years ago were not within his reach
and in the vast increase OF wealth, 81
comfortable homes, aud OF thriving
farms. They are seen In the fact that
l77,000 immigrants OF q better cias&
than ever before landed at this citT
during the past six months. The ques
tion comes home TO the personal inter
ests OF evory voter Are we so sick d

lioan rule that we want 10 20 back q

1t is not the purpose here 10 discuss
the fitness for the occasional what was
intended as a gross insult to one OF the
purest OF public men; but rather to inn
prove Mr.. Hurd's transparency, as the
occasion for reproducing certain facts
in his Official life, pertinent to his pres-
ent candidacy. He says "No more

as he and his adherents seek partisan
advantage, by the most shameful mis-
representation Of Gen. Garfeld's ac-
tion, certainly he cannot object to a
plain statement Of his own official
record. In other words, while employ
ing sgaiust a political opponent the
libellous charge implied in his trans
parency, he cannot question the propri-
ETY. OF himself being held responsible to
undeniable facts. Let us consider for

Piatt, Frank II. Hurd, r. @. Hurd and
II. b. Curtiss, in equal interest, pur-
chased of Mrs. Harriet o. Hall 5S 81
acres of land in Sixth Ward of Toledo,

years time, with interest at per cent,
By the death of r. O. Hurd, the father
Of Frank Hurd, the latter soon there
after succeeded to his share. 1t is
proper to state that the object sought
in this purchase was speculation in the
sale Of the property. In the spring ol
1874, not having been able to sell their
lands at satisfactory profit, the owners
proceeded to prepare the same for sale
in City lots, and to this end, they got
up their plat, and went before the City
Council and asked that steps be taken
for the condemnation of the lands re-
quisite for the streets provided for in
their plan, and that they be paid in Gd
rance IN he Joads of tIe City, such
sum as should be legally assessed as
damages" to their property in such
provision OF streets! This process con.
sisted in proceedings before the Probate
Court, to ascertain and fix the measure
of damages" In such cases the City
Solicitor represented the city, to see
that the rights and interests of the tax
payers were properly protected. F. n.

he beingan interested party,i was neces-
sary for the city to employ other coun-
sci. The result Of the first trial, (six
