SPOKE OF the reunited North and South
Oh tne uay we celebrate, the returning
prosperity OF the South and then touched
upon the political issues OF the dav Tba
southern people, he said are dissatis-
fed with the financial legislator WITH
the Federal Government. as well as the
burdensome duties imposed by the protee-
tive tariff. The South favors the repool
of the 10 per cent. tax on State bank
notes. IL favors the remonitlzation OF
silver. Business needs a larger volume
of currency. With the immense growth
OF the South it is believed that this
Government has the power to establish
a financial system Independent OF the
nations OF Europe, and the ability TO
maintain the free coinage OF silver and
gold, and preserve both at parity. As
the United States are Independent ,politi-
cally OF European nations, should they
be financially. The South believes that
the Federal Government should restore
the free silver and gold coinage OF the
Constitution, which II maintained until
1873. at q ratio first Of 10 and then OF
16 TO l. and that IL should do this with
or without international agreement.
Mr. Walsh argued the necessity for an
income tax, and antagOnized the view that
such tax carries with IL an element OF
Socialism or Communism. lie took hlgn
ground as to the mission OF the Demo-
cratic party, and concluded with these
paragraphs:
II have great faith I'm the adminlstra-
ton Of President Cleveland. Differing
with him on his financial policy. the peo-
pie Of the South have profound respect
for his official integrity and the highest
confidence in his ability, wisdom and pa
triotism.
'In the continued success of the Demo-
cratic party in State and national affairs
rests the hope of the country, and the
security of rights and liberties of the
American people.
1--WE should be ever mindful that God
made the earth and the heavens, and that
he has builded up this continent and
erected on It the best Government that
has ever blessed the world. IN which jus
tce and right sit enthroned upon the mon-
uments of virtue and honor, liberty and
law
I'm celebrating the birthday Of the re-
public. the people of the North and the
South should invoke the blessings Of Di-
vine Providence that the inheritance or
free government, which has blessed them,
may be transmitted unimpaired to the
remotest generations"
