ny Valedictory to the Republican
Party.
FIFTH SPECIFICATION.

The Republican party in its advO.
Cacy for the continuance Of our pres
ent money policy diSregards the
rights Of the people and openly coun-
ellis violation Of law.
Need consume time and use space
in arguing that under the funding
act 1870 that the people had the right
to pay their debts in either gold or
silver coin or in both the option being
with the people, not with the creditor
also act July IA, 1875.
That this is true is not only evil
denced by the bill itself and its word
ing but that DO other construction
has ever been put on it. That body
OF wise men in which it originated so
interpreted it by the passage Of the
Matthews resolution 10 1878 the reso.
luton stated That these obligations,
principal and interest were payable
in silver at the OpJiOn of the govern
ment and that such payments were
not in violation Of the public faith
nor in derOgatiOn of the rights of the
public creditor"
This was the law Of the contract as
expounded by the Republican State
Legislature Of Ohio in its session OF
1851 when il passed the following
resolution Common honesty to the
tax payer. the letter and spirit Of the
contracts demand the use of silver in
these payment
The Hon. John Sherman in his sen
ate speech February q, 1867, touched
this theory as principle:
He said: Equity and Justice would
be satisfied if We redeem these bond:
at the end of five years in the same
kind of money of the intrinsic value
it had at the time they we're issued
The bond holder can demand only
tie kind of money be paid and he is {
repudiator and extortioner to demand
money mole valuable than he paid
Now, my Republican friend, allow
me in closing this discussion Of M
fifth specification toremind you thai
up to the funding act of 1870 the pub
lie deotOf this country was substan
TALLY on paper basis that in orde
to change it to coin basis the credito
was willing to the exten ;ioa of tim
with lower rate of interest aud thi
he ratified by funding his debt in tn
purchase OF the new bonds.
