Suppose the crops of this country had
been short on Jan. l, 1879. and that the
crops of Europe had been bountiful. how
would resumption have been maintained?
Further, if failure had resulted on account
of the short crops. etc. would the Repub-
lican party have been willing to assume
the responsibility for failure? These
questions are submitted for the consider
alton of those Republican organs who are
claiming credit for the bouutiful crops OF
the past two seasons.

In 1873 Republican Congress demone-
tized silver. and among those who voted
for that decentralization and did his
utmost to secure passage of the measure.
was James A, Garfield. The result of
the demonstration. was panic and the con-
sequent failure of hundreds and thousands
of merchants in the country. In 1878 q
Democratic congress placed silver on O
basis with gold and byi this measure did
more to aid resumption than all the hoard
ings of Sherman or boastings Of the Re-
publican party. Those who remember
the distress caused by the fatal demoneti-
zstion scheme Of the Republican party in
1873 will not be slow 10 remember that
James A. Garfield was one of the, prime
movers in that colossal wrong on the peo-
pie. By the way. it was just about that
time that Garfield bought his credit
nobilisr stock. Hypocrisy. fraud. oorrup-
ton and dishonesty. comprise the chief
points in the Republican party record,
while the leader Of that party, james A.
Garfield. combines all these qualities to a
remarkable degree. Garfield's election
would be q terrible mistake.
