citizens, hearty thanks fer this grand
demonstration, as it means much
more than merely to be accepted as per-
soual to myself, but as to the great prin.

brilliant American statesmen in part to
represent. therefore deem it proper al

pendent treasury system. In 1860

government they left it financially
wrecked. the people disheartened aud

financial ideas and tariff policy
had brought the nation to its Lowest
level, without credit, almost without
hope for the future. If we may judge
them by their record up to that time

could now SO manage the affairs of tn,
Republic as to meet the present de
mands of the people"

the products of this country
should be governed by the cost
of like products in other countries
would, if allowed to be consummated,
bring the manufacturing industries Of
the country to an end. lie then re-

American protective system, and claimed
that it had fostered the wealth OF the ma

all property had reached the sum OF
forly-four billions of dollars, an in
crease of thirty billions in twenty year.
