took the opposite view. The Demo-
cratic party was wrong ON those
issues. know II. was wrong; be-
cause there is not man in this room
today but what Is glad that we are
one common people with one flag and
one constitution, and that slavery has
been abolished forever The Republic
can party was right, and the Demo-
cratic party wrong that time. That
was twice the Democratic party was
wrong and the Republican party
right.
When the war broke out the Re-
publican party favored Issuing green-
backs. TO raise immediate funds ana
a protective tariff. The Democratic
party opposed them. The Republican
party was right and the Democratic
party wrong. That was four times the
Democratic party was wrong and four
times the Republican party was right.
AT that time we had the wildcat
state banks, and currency from a
bank in one state was deprecated in
another state, varying according to
the distance from the bank of issue.
The Republican party favored a ma
tional banking system. The Demo
cratic party declared It was unconsti-
tutional. The Republican party was
right ami the Democratic party was
wrong. That made five times that
the Democratic party was wrong.
After the war was over the Demo-
Gratis had become so enamored of the
greenbacks that they wished to issue
them in unlimited quantities, while
the Republicans objected, and the
Democrats were wrong for the sixth

war the Democrats had steadfast.y

Republican majority passed IL. and
again the Democrats were wrong for
the seventh time and the Republicans
fright. fci
The Democrats had always insist
ed that the government had no right
to appropriate money for internal inn
2rovements, but after the war the
Republicans passed appropriations for
the river and harbor work and fortif-
cations, and for the eighth time the
Democrats were wrong. for who now
dares oppose such work?
After the war the tariff was the
great issue. The Republicans favored
a law that would keep out cheap for
eign made goods. so that American
Inventive genius and American Indus
tries might be built up, that Ameri-
can ,abor might be well employed at
thigh wages. Under this system mem
