Mr.. Crawford agreed with Mr. Hudson
in that statement and stated az much
over his own signature.
But we need not rely on personal tes-
timony 10 prove that the democratic and
republican parties are Identical, and
that they are but the two wings Of the
great corporate money power party Of
this country.
The exception clause on the green
back in 1862, was at FIRST a distinctive
copperhead measure vehemently op-
posed by the Lincoln republicans tits
now good republican doctrine. Republi-
cans, in power for more than twenty
years, have not proposed change in that
matter Both parties stand firmly by
the national bank monopoly, and joined
In rechartering the banks for another
twenty years. The contraction law Of
1866 was at first a democratic measure,
passed by the democrats and Andy
johnson republicans, II is now the ac-
cepted doctrine Of both parties, Both
parties fight the free coinage Of silver or
any addition to our monetary circulation,
In accordance with the growing needs Of
the country. Both parties agree In abdi-
eating government, and surrenderlng all
power into the hands Of corporations, 20
such an extent that Mr.. Jay Gould finds
IL just as convenient 10 accomplish his
purposes through one party as through
the other Both parties have agreed aud
and still agree that the union soldier
shall not be paid according TO contract,
"in coin or treasury notes as good as
coin," but that he shall suffer the loss OF
one-half Of his just pay for services rem.
dered. Both parties have agreed and
still agree to pay the bondhoIders gold
coin on bonds bought with half price cur
rency; and that the half paid soldier
shall be taxed TO make double payment
TO the bondholders, while the double paid
bondholder Is not taxed to make the half
payment TO the soldier. They have
agreed and still agree that bondholders
shall be paid in gold coin, in spite Of
positive contracts and the principles Of
justice on the side Of the people. They
both agreed that at the end Of the war II
was better TO burn to ashes twelve hum
dred millions Of dollars Of good currency
rather than pay II out TO the soldiers on
positive contracts, or on other monetary
obligations Of the government. They
both agree that the government shall
pay heavy premiums on bonds not yet
due, although there is positive law per-
hitting the payment OF all bonds Of the
government at face value, whether due
or not. They both agree in issuing de
ceptive monthly reports from the treasury
Of the United states to cover up and hide
their wicked policy Of contraction by
boarding money in the United States
treasury. One important item in this
deception is the setting aside Of one hun
dred millions Of gold coin for the re-
demption Of United States notes, when
there is law on the statute books pro-
viding that United States notes shall not
be redeemed; but, when received
in the treasury, "shall be paid
