FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 11, 1868
Speech of'Mr. Pendleton, at Bangor
W. give below the coooluding portion
of the speech of Hon. George U. Pendle
ton% made at Bangor, Mine, on Thura
day last :
-MT FeleNoe: You cannot build your
ships, bemires every article that enters
into their construction is taxed so high
that the Britian colonies undertiell you
alirays. You cannot employ labor, be
close labor is compelled to pay these
tames, and the bones' and sinews and
blood of men cannot work to pay taxes
to be neither feed hoe clothed. You can
hot carry our Western produce to other
seen ries, because when .'no have' paid
our labor and takes and triansportatiou
there is nothing left to email abroad
You cannot entry the Southern produce ;
because under Radical reconstruction
farms have been destroyed and the labor
system kite been deranged; three mil
lions of negroes hate been converted in
to politiciand; cotton, rice and sugar,
have ceased to be staples; a garden has
been turned into a desert. - A liberal
system is the life of your commerce, as
it Is the hope of our industry ; yet the
tariffs must be kept high to pay interest
on our public debt, and the deity expen
ses incurred by Republican policy, and
Ana it slims the rich nttuvinn snit of
omr_fertile •alleys to make the sterile
rooks of Massachusetts to side, it des

.
876 60. Of this amount fi fteen hundred
d i and eighty three millions one hundred
and ten thousand dollars are In five
tweaty bends. I maintain that those
bwoda are payable in legal-tender lilies.
Fits law under which they issued-ex
pressly declares that the legal tenders
are payable for every debt due from the
Government except interest on the pub
Ito debt; the bonds say they are payable
in legal teudertnotes Senator Sherman
says so. Senator Morton says so, Thad.
deus Stevens !vein so, the funding bill
says no, the Democratic conventlons of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana.' Illinois,
Missouri, Wieconsto, lows, Miunenota,
and Michigan say so; the Democratic
commotion of Maine says so The great
council of the Democratic party at New
1 ork says so. A year ago when I asser
ted this theory I had opposition enough
to justify an argutuett—now I have aut.
*do net know-how it is with your Its
publicabs in Maine, hut in Ohio and In
diana they (the people) are so ankrous
to get on, that they threaten to j istle
me off my own platform [Great laugh
tar and applause.]
A year ago the leading men called us
copperheads and traitors Now they
politely say the theory is true,, but alto
gather impracticable Not

premium on gold Now, where will

banks have out a t circulation of three
hundred millions, beet/red by beads.—
You uoderstand thik operation very well
Three men buy one hundrel thousand
dollars worth of 'bonds. They deposit
them in the Treasury, they get their
six per cent, interest in gold ; they get
ninety per cent in bank noted, mud
this they corny home here to luau IL l en ,

they may be able to expect from the tip -

More than two hundred millions a year,
and /lint sum constantly increasing by •
a large amount, with which to pay off
the public, debt In this why it can be
paid, every dollar of it, principal and
interest, by the time it becomes nue,
without adding one cent to int. circula
tion. It is thought ad•ittable:tile taxes
wan be reduced and the payment lorolong
ad for ten years. I hear it elated that
this is uryust to the bondholders. Not at
all; you pay him all be gave you. pay
him high Interest :- you pity him all you
promised Show me a single bondholder
who, if you 'pay him to day in legal
tenders, with gold at 008 hundred and
forty per cent , will not replace his out
lay. and I will show you fifty who, in
addition to twelve per cent. interest,
have added in five years forty per oent
to their principal The question is not
whether you will pay the bondholder
"list you owe, but whether you will rob
the people to pay the bondholders what
you do not owe. [Applause 1 I hear
it stated thie_is unjust to the people.
When this legal Muter law leas passed
it eoutecaled two- thirds of all the in
debtuems of the country. The man who
had a note for one tbousandjklollars in

Couple with this the taxation of cap i
