SPEAKER RANDALEs AMENDMENT.

ANXIOUS TO BE KNOWN AS A FINANCIER-WHAT
WOULD RESULT FROM THE ADOPTION OF HIS
IDEAS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Hon. Samuel j. Randall
is onxious to be known both as master of finance
and champion of economy in Government expendi-
tures. During the discussions upon the Refunding
bill. MI Randall has been very active and proml-
nent as leader of the Democrats, and has had
nuch TO say about economy, and he has dwelt
particularly upon the enormity of allowing "doui ie
interest during the process of refunding.
He therefore offered an amendment which was
sdopted. that all interest on called bonds should
cease at the expiration of thirty days from the date
of the CALL Among the bonds to be refunded are
S2O1 $50, 900 of six per cent bonds which were
issued under acts approved July II and Au-
gust 8. 1861, and March 81 1868
These acts all provide that the bonds
shall be "redeemabe at the pleasure of the United
States" after twenty years. and no notice of re-
demption is required under the provisions of either
of the acts Mr.. Randalps amendment. therefore,
will, if it be adopted, result in an allowance of
thirty days interest to the holders of $201
Of bonds--an allowance which they are not entitled
to claim under the laws according to which the
bonds were issued This will amount to the snug
sum of ST. ,OO7. $780, and will be gratuity which the
bondholders will doubtless gratefully appreciate;
As the Retunding bill now stands, 1T requires the
ard silver dollars and all the gold coin except
$5OO0O.OO0: There are ;, now oatstand: ,tsauad:
for which the Government is pledged to pay on de-

upon which interest has ceased. but which are pay
a0le on demand These sums aggregate $59, 24O93O.
without including anything for accrued interest on
the erest-bearng bonds now outstanding
In other words the bill as 1t now stands provides
not only that every dollar shall be taken from be-
hind $3.50 600 900 of greenbacks now in circua-

TUEsDAY-THE PEOPLE ARoUsED-DgMoCRATIC
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1881-10-27

Democratic party, its past, at least is
secure. The record OF its exalted pat
riotism, its wise and elevated states
manship. its glorious civil and military
achievements, will make radiant the
pages Of history to the last syllable OF
recorded time. Men die, but principles
are eternal; and the great truths upon
which the Democratic party IS founded
are immaculate and immortal. Built
upon principles as immutable as the
laws of God, it will survive all the vlci-
tudes incident to human organizations.
1t will know no decay, hut with the
blessing of God it will be found -four
ishing in all the vigor of immortal
youth, defending the oppressed, hft-
ing up the down-trodden, offering a
safe refuge and asylum to those fleeing
from their oppressors, and spreading
through the world, by its peerless ex-
ample, the blessings of liberty united
with law and order, while the sky has
star and the ocean tide.
With such a record in the past, with
such hopes for the future, no Democrat
worthy of the name will cease to labor
for the restoration of his grand old
party to power, and this not for the
paltry rewards of official position, not
for division of the wretched spoils of
Office, but for the higher and holier
purpose of preserving and perpetual
ting the noble system of civil govern
ment and human freedom devised by
the fathers of the Republic, and intend.
ed by them to be as enduring as the
everlasting mountains. III
The examples of the past should al
ways be respectfully consulted by
statemen and publicists, but the mem
bers of the Democratic party who have
borne the brunt of so many fierce strug.
giles should cherish with pride and rev.
erence the splendid record ofthat grand
old party, for it is studded all over with
great names and glorious achievements,
and while we ponder over the distin-
guished men whose names adorn the
roster of the party, and whose deeds
have illustrated the brightest pages of
our country's history, let us resolve
that the future of the Democratic party
shall not grow pale by contrast with
its past glories, but that we will still
keep its standard high advanced and

[From the American Register
Can the Democratic Party Be Trusteds
If Not, Why Not?

The staple cry of the Republicans and
organs is the persistent declaration
that the Democratic party is unworthy
of the confidence of the people, and
that to entrust TO it the destinies Of
the country and Its Government, would
destroy the prosperity of one and en-
danger the existence of the other. To
expose the hollowness, the falsehood,
and the hypocrisy Of this eternal wall,
a brief reference to the history of the
country while under the control of the
Democratic party is all that is necess-
ary, and this reference we shall pro-
ceed to make as succinctly as possible.
Coming into power with the access
ion of that great apostle of liberty and
democracy, Thomas Jefferson, to the
Presidency in 1901, the Democratic
party, with the exception of four brief
years of the administration of John
Quincy Adams, four more under the
administration of Taylor and Fillmore,
and single month under William
Henry Harrison, held undisputed con.
troll Of the Government up TO the 4th
day of March, 1861, when the reins of
power passed into the hands of Abra-
ham Lincoln. How the country pros
pered, how its population increased,
how the area Of freedom was extended
from ocean to ocean, how the blessings
of liberty, of law, and Of education
were extended, and the happiness of
the people promoted and increased un-
der the wise and benign rule of the
Democratic party during, a period of
more than half century, is known to
every man of intelligence throughout
the land. In all these years the Dem.
ocratic party bore sway in the councils
of the country. Democrats occupied
the Presidential Office and held the
most exalted and responsible positions
known to our Government. During
that long period we had two foreign
wars, one with England commencing
in 1912, and closing in blaze of glory
in 1915; and the second, with Mexico,
commenced in 1916, and closed in IS4S.
By the first we established the immu-
nifty of American ships from the de-
grading right of search, and won i'm
perishable glory for the American
name. By the second we added new
ustre to our flag, and annexed to the
United States territory richer in all
he elements of wealth than poets or
,lsionaries ever dreamed of. 1t was
