A REMEDY FOR BOND ISSUE.
WIN ask. cannot this be doubled,
ana the deficit In the revenues provided
for rather than by sale Of bonds? II
40 I. veIl-known fact that the money
famine Of 1890 was relieved by the action
~ the Secretary OF the Treasury. who
ut,,ized n surplus OF these notes, then in
the Treasury to buy bonds and thus
,hrowine n million of dollars Of fresh
money into circulation for seventy sue
cessjve DAYS. Our friends. the enemy.
are fond OF object-iessons, bs.-->se
they imagine. themselves men In
finances. and others mere children.
Let them learn from this one
Moreover let them hear Mr.. Justice
BRADLEY. speaking for the Supreme Court,
in the legaI-tender case. He said: when
business begins to stagnate and general
bankruptcy is imminent, then the govern
ment must have the power at the same
| time to renovate It's own resources and

medium. The heart OF the nation must

| aided TO pay their debts, and 10 meet
| their obligations. The debtor interest CT

THE DISTRIBUTION OF POWER.
| In conclusion. / beg to say that the
| Fundamental idea OF popular government
| is the distribution of power. Hence II
| has been the struggle OF liberty In all
| agea IN vrrest IL from the hands of the
| feu, and lodge II I'm the hands of the
| ,ranv II YOU distrust the people then
| Won dlstrust the political fabric reared
| by orr fathers-you are opposed TO popu-
| lar government. II you corrupt by bribes.
| mr. stifle by threats, then popular govern
| mont becomes "a by-word and Kissing.
! and. though il may have name 20 i've,
| Il will be dead in trespasses and In Sins
| lust here our danger lies. III Is openly
| charged that the allied enemies OF your
cause propose TO purchase the perpetual
| ton NJ their power-the blasting dominion
| of plutocracy. Their campaign soilers are
bursting out with fairness. A single mil
nonaire IS said to have contributed mil
lion of dollars to the corruption fund.
II &c mortifying not TO say degrading
| 70 think Of that high office-the presi-
dencv-openly purchased. But this Is the
| condition that confronts US. The honor
Of ourselves and our country Is at stake
We have accented the gauge Of battle,
and n must be fought TO the finish. Al
lodi after repeated unsuccessful charges
unon the stronghold of the Austrians, Ma
noIaon determined to abandon the assault
and commanded drummer boy TO bea'
retreat The brave fellow replied: "Slr
| don't know how" Then said the En-

mon their enemies. The bridge was cap
tured. and Lodi added to the long cata
Ioeue of Napoleon's victories
The importance of the contest cannot W
over-estimated. The preservation 81 ou'
liberties Is at stake, ana, while We mus
not depreciate the powerful influence
that confront u.s. yet, L nave an ap'aIis
faith i'm the ultimate triumph OF IN
right. Then. with one heart anu ON
voice. we will say with Americas s"ee
poet:
"rhou. too. sail on. o ship OF tate!
Sau on O. Union, strong and great
Our hearts. our hopes, are all with thee
Our hearts our hopes, our prayers gu
tears.
Our faith triumphant DER our fears
