THK FINANCIAL QUESTIOX.
T.. T
xjufc now i am going to eay eomo-
thine about finance. I always hate to
touch tliatquestion, because, as a gen
eral thing a man becomes very dull
when he does. You know nearly ov
ery man thinks be understands it, and
,!. .. ., . '
listens very impatiently to any opin
ions advanced by others. But still
I will risk being dull, and tell you
what I think. We owe a large debt.
lwo-thlrds of that debt was incurred
in consequence of the action and the
meanness of the Democrats. There
. - i
are nouio peopie wuo Uiiuu that you
can defer the payment of a promiso so
long that the postponement of the debt
will serve in lieu of its liquidation
that you pay your debts by putting
off your creditor. Some people have
an idea that the Government can pay
its debts when it substitutes one piece
oi money lor another that our Gov
ernment can make money by stamp
ing its sovereignity on a piece of pa
per. But this is not the ase. The
Government is a perpetual pauper. It
passes round the hat and solicits con
tributions ; but then you must remem
ber that the Government has a bayo
net behind the hat. The Government
produces nothing. It docs not plow
the land, it does not sow corn, it does
not grow trees. The Governmont is a
perpetual consumer. The people he ve
to support the Government ; the Gov
ernment cannot support the people.
To suppose that they can issue money
to the people is as absured as to sup
pose that my hired man can issue cer
tificates of my indebtedness to him for
me to live on. (Laughter.) The
Government has no money bot what
it received from the "people. It had
therefore to borrow money to carry on
the war. Every greenback that it is
sued was
A FORCED LOAN.
.My notes are not a legal tender,
though if I bad the power Imiehtnos-
sibly make them so.- Laughter. We
borrow money and we have to pay the
debt. That debt represents the exnen-
ses of the war. The horses and the
gunpowder and the rifles and the artil
lery are represented in that debt
tt represents all the munitions of war.
Until we pay that debt we can never
be a solvent nation. Uutil our net
profits amount to as much as we lost
('uriug tho war wo 3au never bo a sol
vent people. If a man cannot under
stand that there is no use in talking
to him on tho subject. Thealchemists
in old times who fancied that thev
could make gold out of nothing were
not more absurd thvn the American
advocates of soft money. They resem
ble the early explorers of our conti
nent who lost years in searching for
the fountain of eternal youth,. but the
ear of age never caught the gurgle of
that spring. Wo all have heard of
men who spent years of labor iu en
deavoring to produce perpetual mo
tion. They produced machines of the
most ingenious character, with cogs
aud wheels and pulleys without num
ber, but these ingenious machines had
one fault, they would not go. You
will never find a way to make money
out of nothing. It is as groat nonsenso
as the fountain of perpetual youth.
You cannot do it.
THE DEBT TO BE PAID.
Gold is the best material which
labor has yet found as a measure of
value. That measure of value must
be as valuable as tho object it meas
ures. I saw the sovereignty of Home
impressed on a p:ece oi Uiesar s com.
Cajsar died as long ago as the Demo
cratic party ought to have died, but
the coin was intrinsically valuable
though the sovereignty it represented
had disappeared from the face of the
earth. The sovereignty of a -country
i to be got in a different way. It has
to be raised. It has to represent la
bor. The value of gold arises from
tho amount of labor expended in pro
ducing it. A gold dollar will buy as
mush labor as produced that dollar. I
tell you another thing. This debt has
to be paid. We ought to make the
Democrats pay it for they lost the case
and should pay the costs. Loud
cheers and laughter. There is a mort
gage on the continent on tho lan I of
the country, on the honor of the lie
publican party, and that mortgage
must be paid. Every blade of grass
is a guarantee that it will be paid ;
every field of corn, every bannered
hill that rises in the length and
breadth of this Republic is a guaran
tee that it will be paid every penny
of it. All tha minerals of the country
are a guarantee that it will be paid.
All the coal that was hoarded in the
bowels of the earth millions of years
ago by that old miser, the Sun, is a
guarantee for the liquidation of this
debt. Ho is every ounce of silver aud
gold slumbering iu the strata of this
coutiuout wailing to be excavated
f l

waiting to give back to the Sun, tho
flash which it received from his radi
ance.
EVERT GOOD MAS
and woman everv babe in tha rr
die, and every boy in the country that
is going to vote tho republican ticket
is a guarantee that the national debt
win be paid. Long and prolonged
cheers. Now tho question is, Who is
most apt to pay that debt? Thoso who
swore it was constitutional, or those
who swore it was unconstitutional?
Every time a Democrat sees a green
back, it says to him, "I vanquished
you." Every time a Republican Bees
a greenback, it says, "You and I put
the rebellion down." Cheers.)
This great debt of ours was con
tracted by the war brought on by the
Democrats, and now with consummate
eflYontry they throw that debt up to
us and try to make capital out of it.
They talk about the depressed condi
tion of the country. Who made it so?
Let every one of you workingmen,
when you have blistered your hands
to pay the debt, take off the. blister
and under it you will find a Demo
cratic lie. There never has been a
more prosperous city in the country
than Pittsburgh; but if Pittsburgh
and Pennsylvania vote to put the
Democratic party in power, her thous
ands of towerinc chimne'vs will stand
smokeless monuments to her folly.
TILDEN S FOLLY.
Now gentleman, to pass from the
financial part of this; and I say one
word before I do it. I will sav that
if any man came to you and wanted
the date taken lrom a note, you would
say he was dishonest ; and any man
who wants the date stricken from this
pledge of tho Government is dishonest.
(.Applause.) Jlr. Tilden wanted the
date left out so that Hendricks could
crawl in. , (Applause.) No ; the Re
publican party intends to pay its
debts in coin on the 1st of January,
1879. Paper money means probably
the payment of the Confederate debt ;
a metallic currency the discharge of
honest obligations. We have touched
hard pan prices in this country, and
we want to do a hard-pan business
with hard money. You cannot iumn
when you arc in the air. You need a
solid footing before you can stand
firm, and that is what we have reach
ed financially. If the Tienuhl
party fails to resume on the date fixed,
it will fail nobly, fightinc like the sol
dier on the ramparts with the banner
in his hands. Why my friends, ifyou
can think of any mean thing that
could be done, I will find you a Dem
ocrat to do it. I do dot say that all
Democrats are dishonest, but I do sav
that their principles arc dishonest, and
that a majority of the party are dis
honest. THE rAIiTIES CON! HASTED.
Not loii: ago I was passincr alone a
road, where there wa3 a sign post
which had stood there t
it had become wenther-beaten and de
cayed. It poiuted to nowhere, and!
was a useless, worn out relic of bv-pone
daj'S. I thought to myself when -I
saw it, that is like tha Democratic
party. Again, in another place I saw
the ruins of an old inn : the building
was uurfieu down, and only tho two
tall old-fashioued chimneys at either
end of tho building still "stood erect.
Up in front of tho tavern the old 6ign
still swung and creaked, and spoke to
the public of "Entertainment for Man
and Beast." And again, I I bought
this is like the Democratic party, bo
prolific of promises and so unable to
fulfilll them. And the two chimnevs
rreminded me of Tilden and Hendricks,
trying by their prominence aud soph
istry to blind the eyes of the peoplo to
the ruin about them.
Not long ago I was in Paris and
there I saw on a monument where all
the people could see it, a statue of the
Goddcsi of Liberty, aud enduring fig
ure of bronze that will last while the
ages endure. Iu one hand was the
6tar of progress, aud the other pointed
upward, to the pure blue and free
aenith ; aud this I thought, is like the
Republican party, in iu enduring
being and elevated priuciples. Ap
plause. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
is made up of the worst elements of
society. There is not a penitentiary
in the United States that Tilden and
Hendricks cannot carry five to one.
In tho Democratic Party can bo found
the vicious and foul. The man who
wishes to answer an argument with
blows, ho is the Democratic party."
All men who sympathized with the
South in its efforts to destroy this Gov
ernment are now iu tho Democratic
party ; all the men who shot our sol
diers at the dead-mark are uow for
honesty aud reform, and if Tilden
should bo eleoted President of the
United States all these men would be
found Bhouting for Tilden aud Hen
dricks. Now my friends, keep out of
the Democratic party ; do not vote

standing army of twenty-five thous
and men for thirty-eight States, and
vet it takes twenty-five hundred po
licemen for the city of New York to
keep the Democratic fiiends from
picking your pocket on the way from
tho depot to your hotel.
THE CANDIDATEa.
But now let mo speak of the candi
dates of those two parlies. The Dem
ocratic party have put forward Mr.
Samuel J. Tilden. Mr. Tilden is a
Democrat who belongs fo f ha TV-m .
tic party of tho city of New York, and
the Democratic party of the city of
New York never had but two objects
grand and petit larceny. (Laugh
ter and applause) In Illinois, we
have always heard that Tammany
Hull bears the same relation to a pen
itentiary that Sunnsny School does to
a church. (Laughter.) I don't say
it is so, but simply etate it as I hear
it there. I have heard that the Dem
ocratic party got control of New York
when it did not owe a dollar, and
have stolen and stolen until it owes
$160,000,000; and I understand that
every election they have had was a
fraud every one." I understand that
they stole everything they could lay
their hands on. And, oh, what banda!
(Laughter and applauso.) Grasped
and grasped and clutched, until they
stole all it was possibla for the people
to pay tho interest upon, and now
they are all yellin for honestv and
reform. I understand that Mr. Tilden
was a pupil in that school, and that he
is now ateacher in that school.
(Laughter.)
nAYES RECORD.
On the other sido another man has
been nomiuated-Rutherford B. Hayes.
In the first place, he is an honest man.
You Democrats will say that is not
rnuchf but I ask you to try it once.
Rutherford B. Hayes is a patriotic
man, and when the war commenced
Rutherford B. Hayes said, "I would
rather go into this war and be killed
in tho course ot it than live through
it, and have taken no part in it."

Last Monday, at noon, ihn
tive on the Smyrna Branch Railroad
ran away and rearly killed itself.
After bringing the noon train into
town, and after Engineer MefVinnnrrrnr

had started to dinner, the fireman,
John Shorts, cut the locomotive lo.se

made a perilous leap from lur as she
whizzed by Union street and saved
himself, though ho was flopped over
and over in the dusty street when Lo
struck tho ground. In just about tie
minute from the time Shorts "pulled
out the stopper," here, the locomotive
was a ruined mass at Clavtnn 1 ha
distance between the two points is one
mile and a Quarter. Aa ouirk as nos.

straight lino across tha cronnda Rim
jumped off with such force as to throw
herself flat on her side, and in this
condition she smashed into the plat
