W FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM.
It means that the great financial and
industrial system Of the country shall be
placed under the direction OF the South;
that our currency, our banks, our tariffs,
our internal revenue laws !; in ! short that
our whole system, upon which the bust.
ness OF the country depends, shall be
placed under the control OF that section.
1t means that the Constitutional amend.
ments to which they dre 80 bitterly op.
posed shall be enforced only so far us they
may believe in them; that the National
credit as guaranteed in the fourteenth
amendment that the payment OF pensions
70 the soldiers OF the Union as guaranteed
in the same amendment shall be under
their control; and what that control might
mean can be measured by the bitterness
with which these amendments were re-
sisted by the Democrats OF the South.
There is not one measure OF banking, OF
tariff, OF finance, Of public credit, OF PEN
sions, not one line OF administration upon
which the government is conducted to-
day to which the Democrats OF the South
are. not recorded as hostile, and to give
them control would mean a change, the
like of which has not been known in
modern times. lSs=5fs

1twould be as il, the dead stuarts were
recalled to the throne OF England, as If
the Bonrbons should be invited to admin
lister the government Of the French Re-
public; as though the Florentine Dukes
should be called back and empowered to
govern the great Kingdom OF Italy
(Cries OF good, and cheers. I f
Such q triumph would be fearful mis-
fortune to the south itself. That section
under the wise administration OF the gov
ernment by the Republican party has
been steadily and rapidly going forward
the past ten years in all the elemcnts.of
material prosperity. It has added ensr-
mousiy to its wealth since the close OF the
war, and has shared fully in the general
advance OF the country. To call
lsa, section to the rulership Of
the nation would disturb its own social
and political economy; it would rekihdIs
the smolderins passions and under the
pee 1llar leadership to which it would be
subjected. it would organize an admins.
tration4 4ot resentment, OF reprisal. OF
revenge, and no greater misfortune than
that could come to the nation North
and South. It would come as
reaction against the progress of liberal
principles in that section, progress so
rapid that the Republicans are waging
earnest contests inthese States where their
Interests are most identified with that
policy OF protection against the spectacle
Of q solid South. am sure that Indiana
will protest and on the whole will con.

past, n is1t5g. - sEsssrtg
I believe that you will stand where you
stood in the war, that yon will stand for
the principles and the politics which have
made your State bloom and blossom rs
the rose, and which madethe American Re-
public in manufactures and in agriculture
the leading nation OF the world. [Great
cheering The leading nation OF the
world, not merely in material sense, but
in philanthropic sense, q country in
which every man has as good chance as
every other man, and which among other
great gifts bestows absolutely free suffrage.
