man can foretsll. Each party appeals
Confidently 10 lis p4st ~IeeOrd-eaeh de-
elares itself the exponent OF popular
liberty, and earh maintains that its
principles are best calculated TO ad-
vance the general prosperity OF the ma
tion.
We are ready 10 meet the advocates
Of democracy on each and all OF these
issues. Tie past record Of the republi-
can party needs no advocate; the events
OF the past twenty years speak for them
selves. More has been accomplished In
this nation, morally, socially and politi-
cally. since the organization of the re-
publican party, than during d proceed
ing half century. At the extinction OF
the old whig party the great republic,
the most literal government on earth,
contained within It's limits more slaves
than any other nation In the world,
civilized or uncivilized. This anomaly
no longer exists; the republican party
has swept slavery out Of existence, and
by % doing has msrited the gratitude Of
every individual In the land, republican
or democrat.
Previous TO the existence Of the re-
publican party there was no such thing
as an American currency. Various
expedients had been tried, but nil had
proved inadequate 10 meet the wants Of
the people inhabiting different sections
OF the union. A national bank had
been established shortly after the adop-
ton OF the constitution. At the expir-
alton Of It's lrst charter the bank had
been re-chartered. Previous 10 the ex-
piration OF the second term, n bill 10 re-
new the charter was vetoed by General
jackson, In consequence OF which the
bank ceased 10 exist n n national insti-
tuition In 1885, from which time, down
to the late war, We had no medium OF
exchange that could be dignihed by the
name OF national currency. What was
money In Arkansas and Mississippi was
OF little or no value In New England or
New York.
The creation Of n national currency
that should DO OF uniform value In all
sections Of the country, OF n paper mo
dunn that should be worth It's face In
specie wherever presented, constituted
the great political problem Of that age.
That problem has been solved by the
republican party. II has called into
being A currency good eyerywhere--a
paper currency that represents gold and
silver wherever p~resented-in Maine or
Texas, in New York or Michigan, or
the Canadian possessionsef the British.
II Is dinicuit TO define the status Of
our opponents on the currency question.
Some Of them accept the republican
doctrine In full and are strenuous advo-
Gates Of specie and spscis-bearing paper.
A large section Of the party have aflli-
ated with the grssnbsckers and favor IN
unlimited supply Of Unreasonable papsr.
