tn resisted every assault upon it, must and
,et will be upheld and strengthened. If sniff
ed cient revenues are provided for the support
M OF the government there will be no neces-
sity for borrowing money and increasing
On the public debt. The complaint of the
on people is not against the administration
Tor borrowing money and issuing bonds to
ar preserve the credit of the country. but
he against the ruinous policy which has made
ly this necessary. 1t is but an incident, and
" necessary one, to the policy which has
ne been inaugurated. The inevitable effect of
he such policy is seen in the deficiency of
st the United States treasury, except as II is
ID replenished by loans and in the distress of
H. the people who are suffering because of
s. the scant demand for either their labor or

E. Protection TO Bring Gold Back TO Us.
During all the years of Republican con-
n troll following resumption there was
u steady reduction of the public debt, while
u lhe gold reserve was sacredly maintained
. and our currency and credit preserved with
= nut depreciation, faint or suspicion. If
Il VIC would restore this policy that brought
us nHeXampled prosperity for more than
y thirty years under the most trying condi-
-, tlons ever known in this country, the poll
; cy by which we made and bought more
u goods at home and sold more abroad. the
e trade balance would be quickly turned in
1 our favor and gold would come to ms and |
not go from uS in the settlement of all |
such balances Id the future. The party |

! nues lor the conduct of our greatest war
and promptly restored the credit of the
country at its close, and that from its abun.
daht revenues paid off large share of the
DEBT incurred in this war, and that re-
suined specie payments and placed our
paper currency upon sound and enduring
oasis, can be safely trusted to preserve
both our credit and currency with honor
