gathered along the route. Gen. Hawley
introduced Blaine, who said:
"People, that splendid section of the
state OF Ohio, which was anciently q
colony of Connecticut, commissioned
me BY their vote il October to bear to q
mother state, in whose capital now
stand, assurances of their loyalty to
New England teachings and principles.
[Cheers]. am here to-day, to receive
from you the assurance that the mother
state herself is prepared to prove her
fidelity to her own history aud example.
[Cheersl. If there be any state in the
union profoundly interested in the in.
dustrlal and financial system of the
United States, as those systems exist to
day, Connecticut is that state, for her
marvellous industries haye been built up
under the influence of protective tariff,
and her great financial centre from which
radlate influences extensive with the
union, has received in full measure the
benefit and blessing of the great financial
system which the republican party has
given to this country. (Cheers.) The

effected by its decision; there is not a
paper dollar, whose value will not be
changed by wrong decision. The
industrial and financial system under
which our great national progress has
been achieved during the last twenty
three years, are peculiarly the work OF
the republican party, for IN every step
of their enactment they we're resisted by
the democratic party. Have the voters
of Connecticut stopped to reflect
what would be the influence upon their
state if there was such change in the
tariff as the democratic party in con.
gress came within two votes of etfecting
last winter? Have you stopped to think
what would be the effect OF an aban.
donment of the present currency sys.
tenn in the United States, which would
certainly follow if the democratic party
should come into power? That cur
rency system, as 1t stands to-day, is
certainly the most remarkable in the
financial history of the world. A gresz-
back circulation of between three and
four hundred millions is held steadily
at par with gold by the readiness Of
the government, with it's surplus coin
in the treasury, to redeem every cent
on presentation by exchanging gold
dollar for paper dollar; while the ma
tional banks stand ready to pay over their
counters for their bills either the coin
or the greenback note which IS immedi.
ately controvertible into coin.
The only suggestion which has come
from the democratic party during this
campaign, directly bearing on this i'm.
portant question. is the continually re-
peated declaration of Hendricks, The
democratic candidate for the vice-presi
dency that the first measure of his party
If elected to power, would be to get rid
of the surplus, held in the vaults of the
treasury, for the purpose which have
indicated.
Blaine went on to say that if Hendricks
recommendations were adopted the gov
ernment would be enabled to redeem
the green backs in coin. Ono of th'
first acts Of the state rights democracy
if given control, would b.
the restoration to states o
the power to establish state banks
When Abraham Lincoln was electet
there were nearly 300 broken state bank

had involved during the last twent.

total loss to the people of two hundred
million of dollars. If you place thi
ominous fact against the expense of th'
last twenty years in our history, durinl
which no man has lost single dollar b!
the circulation OF the national banks
you will find, I think. conclusive argu
ments in favor of maintaining the presen
financial system. (Cheers.)
