can party has always occupied post OF sreat
honor. From the time OF its organization uo"n
to the present moment 1t has been the leader or
the interest of liberty and the rights OF humanity
1t has never struck a blow that has not peen Ior
freedom and our glorious flag Ana IN every
great emergency tl.at par'" not so old as some
other parties in this country ha. led for the

1t never had a higher post OF honor than 1t has
to-day Glorious as the past has been. It never
carried a flag which involved more to the insti.

the fag which II carries to-day (applause) ana

try to the other the intelligence and 1udRmens
ard conscience Of the American eople are noS
appealed to in vain. Some peonie seem to have
the notion that the Republican party has maze
a new DEPARTURE that it occupies different po-
sition to-day from that which il ever occupied IN
the past. That's a mistake. We stand where we
have always ST ID. not only upon the money
question but on the tariff question: and war.
to call your attention to what may have escaped
You.
When the war closed the great problem before.
the American people after the reconstruction of
the Union was what should he done With the
great debt that had been occasone4 nv the war.
and what should he done nv way ~ mainfa fainIng
a sound currency in tire United States. In 1N'S
the great soldier Of the war who had led the
mghtiest armies that wore Ave- en- a~ed IN sus-
tanning a General Ulysses s. Grant was
nominated FOR President. Let mo read you two
panks Of the niatforp' upon which he stood ana
YOU can then whether the Republican party
has changed it's zion:
We dercunce aIl worms Of repudaticn as Ns.

which It was contracted.
That was when we ha. that enormo war deot
~ over two billions Of dollars. and country
seer'ed to he staggering under It, but the Re.
pUhlican marty stood IN II alwavs has. ana
insisted that every do r ~ th~. iet- r,ust h,
paid In the best currency ~ the world. and under
that policy we have naid o~ more than two
dollar NJ II with honor and IN the hest currency.
Then LEI read YOU another plank ., that plat
form which well applies to our situation to-
dav.
debt IS so to improve orr the capi'alist
will seek 10 loan money at lower rates Of inter
SO long as rep,idio',or partial or total. open or
covert. is threatened or suspected.
This is the Republican way to restore conf
dence. and to get CAPITAL to invest at lower
raf afpc nf into ia m
business Of the country. not by repudiatng the
debts Of the country and by discrediting It's
currency. bnt lifting up both credit and eur.
rency and thus commanding the confidence OF
the business world In that same year the
Democratic National Convention that nominated
Horatio Seymour for President had this utter.
ance the money question. which was sound
then and is to-day, and commend It to all OF
you:
One currency for tho Government and the people.
the laborcr the ofceholder. the pensioner and the
soldier. the producer end the bordholder.
That's the kind OF money we have to-day. my
fellowctizens just good In the hands OF
the poor as in the hands Of the rich; and we
propose to pay the obligations Of the Govern
ment in the future just as we have paid the
obligations Of the Government in the past-in
the best money Of the world
l am glad to meet YOU here at my home: glad
to the ladies here this morning. 1t is good
omen when the women take ar interest In pub
lie affairs (applause). and am sure they are
just much Interested in good government
and good laws and good morals as the men can
side Of right am sure will be beneficial
