o our citlzens at interest. Our income is mora

to our citlZens at interest. Our income Is mora
than our current expenses. There Is no au.
thority for the Secretary OF the Treasury to
lend the money, and SO only three methods OF
dealing with it presented itself under the law.
First to lock 1t up in the Treasury vaults; sec.
sond, to deposit it In the banks without inter.
est, or third, to use 1t in the purchase OF our
bonds not yet due. The objection to the first
method was that the withdrawal OF SO large
sum might result in Q monetary stringency;
the second obviated this objection by allowing
the banks to put the money in circulation; but
neither method resulted in any advantage to
the Government; as to it the money was dead;
only the banks received interest for its use.
By the third method the money would
be returned 20 channels OF trade and
the Government would make the diff
ference between the premium paid for the
bond and the interest that the bonds would
draw II left outs tanding until they matured. If
Government bond at the market premium is
good investment for capitalist who is free
to use his money as he pleases. Can it be bad
flnanciering for the Government, having
money that 1t can not use in any other way, to
use it in buying up its bonds? [Great ap-
plause.1 It is not whether we shall purposely
raise money to buy our bonds at a premium
no one would advise that-but shall we so use
surplus that we have on hand and Gun not
lawfully pay out in any other way. Do our
Democratic friends propose to give the banks
the free use OF it until our bonds mature, or do
they propose to reduce our annual income be-
low our annual expenditure by q REVISION of
the tarin until this surplus be used and then
revise the tariff again to restore the equilibri.

THE THIRD DELEGATIONS
The third delegation numbered 600, from
Grundy County, ILL.,, including about 100
women, who wore large red, white and
blue sashes They were received in the
park about four o'clock. General P. c.
Hayes, of Morris, ILL.,, on behalf of the
visitors made a felicitous address. Gen
eral Harrison in response said:
GENERAL HAYES AND MY ILLINOIS FRIENDS:
regret that your arrival was postponed SO
long as to make it impossible for you to meet
with the other friends from your State who a
little while ago assembled about the platform.
l thank you for the kind feelings that prompted
you to come and for the generous things Gen.
eral Hayes has said in your behalf.
There is little that can say and little that
can appropriately do TO promote the success OF
Republican principles. A campaign that en-
lists the earnest and active cooperation OF the
individual voters will have safe issue. l am
glad to see in your presence an evidence that
in your locality this individual interest is felt
LApplause] But popular assemblies public
debate and conventions are all an empty
mockery unless when the debate is closed
the election is so conducted that every eleotor
shall have an equal and full intlueace in de-
termining the result. That is our compact OF
government LCheers.1
thank you again for your great kindness
andit will now give me pleasure to aceede to
the suggestion of General Hayes and take each
of you by the hand.

Twenty sixth Indiana Infantry. On the
steps of his residence stood Colonel j ohm

ranks and saluted and Colonel Bridgeland

him on the part of the visitors, who in the
