What Has Counteracted the Evils of
Republican Legislation in the In
terest of the Privileged
Classes

Senator Mcdonald explained the
above inquiry in the few pointed re.
marks copied from recent speech of his
in the Indiana canvass. Responding to
the false assertion of John Sherman
and the Republican leaders that their
party restored prosperity to the coun-
try, he said
twas not because of ths wisdom Of the
Republican party. So far as their legislation
was concerned, 1t was detrimental to the in
terests of the country, they gave no relief
The first relief came through Democratic
| legis tation. 1t does not rest in the wisdom Of
John sherman, Secretary Of the Treasury. bus
it rests upon these tw9 facts The Democrats
stopped contracting the currency at koms b. pro
hiJitiHg the retirement Of tae greeq5aek eirc,szs
ton We remoaetized siIper. Gnd put that aaoat
as mans Of aiding "a the ressaD ton ot spsef,

our industry, by our frugaIity and hus-
banding our revenues, we have drawn
f ON foreig1 countries over 5000 D00u91
in he last four years more than we have
sent to those countries aud IA this last
year our coin balance his increased
by actual importation S74 G00.010 in addition
to the products of our mines, which are about
equal TO the amount we have imported SO
that these are the causes of this return of
prosperity in business, and not the wisdom Of
the Republican party On the contrary, in
spite Of its bad administration of our financial
affairs, the people have recovered again to
their present condition.
1t is true, and John Sherman knows
It, that those two Democratic measures
and Democratic economy counteracted
the evil effects of Republican legisla-
ton in the interest of the privileged
classes.

Ir would seem that Randall, the
Greenback Evangelist" who came
South from up the country to enlighten
the Southern heather, and who has
published his blood and thunder story
about the "Shubuta Boys" is a wolf in
sleeps clothing The Shubuta Messen-
ger says:
Randall told the negroes a. Kiser Hill that
he was there in he interest Of the Bepubl-
can party. He held grand old-style carpet
bag leyee, and the negroes focked TO him
they did under the old regime. And what
could ensue under these circumstances other
than that Randall should stir up the animosi-
ties and prejudices of the race. If he was
here in disguise, this proves, he was doing
devilish mean work. He was a demon Of
darkness, instead of an evangelist of light

the four years of c8rpet-bagru of1S66,
1867, 1868, and 1869, amounted TO
about four hundred million dollars in
the years 1876, 1877, 1878, and 1879,
under Democratic rule, it amounted to
over nine hundred and fifty-one million
dollars, or absolutely twice as much.
