at the outbreak OF the late
war. Gen. Logan then proceeded
to discuss the financial policy estab.
llshed by the Republican party, un
der which he claimed that the evils
heretofore experienced under the
Democratic SYSTEM have disap-

never enjoyed such great prosperity

since the Republican party came
into power, and adopted this Ame-

commerce Of the country, under the
management of government by tie
