In Cincinnati in the yesr 1856; belisv.
ing that Demo- ratio principles are nm
chsngesble In their nature when ap
lplied to the same subjects."
When war bad passed, v han Grant
had been first elected (grsat applause)
when the first measure was introduced
to strengthen the public credits, to de-
clare for the payment Of the debt
whether bond or grssnback In coin Of
the land, that Democratic party, with
hardly an exception, resisted and OPP
posed the passage Of the bill.
In the following year Of 1870 there
came time when We supposed, under
the influence Of Grants victory, that
We oould refand the debt at Low rats
OF interest. (applause).
l Nearly every Dsmoorst fesfsted the
passage of that funding bill, and one
distinguished Senator, said, Chat
may do him no injustice will read
from the Democratic bible, Oxford
edition, that is the New York World.

Remember that in 1879, when the
funding bill was before the Senate, the
distinguished Senator moved an amend
msnt to it, which amendment provided
for the absolute abolition Of the nation
al banking system, so far as they had
power to Issue bills, and return the
privilege Of issuing bank currency to
the local banks OF the several States.
The same gentleman who made that
motion in 1870, on the 23rd Of Ssptem-
Der, 1880, at a great DsmscTatis meet
ing in the city Of New York used these
remarkable words:
~ have seen 1t charged that the
Democratic party were opposed TO this
national banks, but | am at loes To
know the authority for this. The plat.
form Of the party contains no such
suggestion and admits Of no suoh con.
struction, and 1t is very certain that
for the second placs on our ticket We
have named in William II. English Of
Indiana, one of the wisest fnanoiers
and best business men In the whole
lcountry, whose management OF the
laffairs Of the national bank OF whifh
he was president was conspicuous 70,
its success. This disposes Of this charge
