Fellow-Citizens : We sec in every part
of out land proofs of a widc-npread change
in political feeling. As the .evil of this'goy
crnnient unfald themselves, the best men of
the lie-publican party are driven from its
ranks. At its late Convention, "its policy
was shaped in a great degree by those, who
are most violent in their passions and most
brutal in the policy they urge upon our peo
ple. While the ablest Republicans refuse
to go on with a party which tramples upon
the jndiciiuy, usurps power, and is unset
tling all ideas of political morality, and un
hinging all the business machinery of our
land, we are laboring under some embarrass
ments from the great volume of the change
iu our favor. Th.e who are rallying around
the standard of constitutional ritrhts have
heretofore held conflicting views with re
gard to the events of the past eight years,
and the question is, how can we set this
great "majority in the field so arrayed that
they can drive, out of place the disciplined
and desperate horde of office-holders who
now -misgovern our country f This is tho
only problem to be settled. The American
people are disgusted with the conduct of the
Congressional party. ' Can - we mark out a
policy which will unite the majority of our
standard ? This can only be done by a
thoughtful, forbearing, unselfish course. At
the same time we must lie outspoken and
must confront all the questions which per
plex us. Mutt look forward with hope and
fear to the action of the National Conveu
tion.'on the Fourth of July. I shall not
apeak of candidates. Let the claims of each
one be considered in a couneous and kindly
spirit; . aid let us take, care that ;Bt;pt.-rfoiwl
partisanship shall draw us aside from our
duty to om -country We should support
with hearty zeal, every upholder of constitu
tional rights. It is upon discord in our ranks
thai our opponents build their hopes.' A par
ty born of strife naturally looks to selfish
passions to keep it alive.' Let this hope be
crushed out by our action. . It .will, in the
present state of our country, be an unholy
thiuir, to go into the July Convention with
any purpose which shall not have in view
the rescue of our Government from the men
Who now have it in hand. The . next elec
tion will be controlled by thoughtful busi
ness ana laboring men. No party can "gain
their support 'unless its:' bine and temper
Show that it sefks to get our country out of
its tubled condition.- Appeals to prejudice
and passion will have no weight. These
were tried at the late Republican Conven
tion. I need not say with what cold indif
ference they have becu received by the pub
lic, The quiet watchful citizens who seek
for the protection of a wise administration
of government, now turn their eyes upou us
We must look to it, 'that we take no position
which will not bear the- closest , scrutiny.
The financial condition of our country , forc
es itself upon our attention. ' Among the evil
results of our monicd and tax ' policy, the
most hurtful is .the jealousies it has wade,
between the secUons of our country. It has
divided our Union into debtor and creditor
Statc3. It builds up favored interests and
crushes out the industry of other classes.
taxes toil and lets some forms of wealh go
free from the cost of tho Government.
gives to labor and business a debased money
and to the untaxed bondholder sterling coin-
These ciirJes upon ; honest industry have
grown up like ill-weeds among the sacred
interests of contracts, trusts, and the fruits
of labor until we are troubled how to root
out the tares sc-frn by evil spirits, - without
killing the crors planted ana filled by honest,
industry. Lest it should be felt that what
have to say 'on: this point springs from any
views about the candidates or action of
National Convention, I will go back to
first years of the civil war, when the Demo-,
cratie "party of- New York took its position
upon the financial policy of government.

In his message to the Legislature, in
the Democratic Governor, speaking of
public credit, foreshadowed our dishonored
condition at tho time in ea words:..
"Extravagance and corrupuon are

To show, the anxiety we felt to avoid all scc-i
tional controversies and our sense of the val
ue of intc'rcotirse with ! the Western . States,
I will quote from the .message -of the satue
Democratic Governor in 1804: ' .
"A deep interest is felt with regard to our
commerce with the Western States. Its
growing value and the loss of our trade wilh
the Southern States makes us dependent; for
commercial prosperity uiion that section Of
our country which sustains our domestic ancj
foreign commerce, an J .which, adilisb large
ly to the ftnports and business - prosperity of
the City.of New Yorkv . ' This'. Slate will be
untrue to itself if it faila to control.this great
source of wealth by a - vigorous, and gencr
our policy. Rather than suffer its diversion
into other channels, we should strike off .'all
tolls upon Western produce.' New". York
should exhibit that degreo of interest in all
measures designed to benefit the W est which
will show our purpose to keep up the most
intimate commercial relationsh'p with ' that
portion of our Union."
l?n.i ;vr.lt are quoted ti3t be
cause the words of any one man are of
conseauence. but to snow me recora
of the grrat party which inspired
them. The Democratic party saw
the evil in the- beginning; they are
the party to euro it. They have al
ways kept our public finances out of
confusion, - when in power. Years
ago wS pointed out the wrong done to
the West by making theui s'cuid nearly
twice as many soldiers to the war
from each Congressional war district
r-f were demanded from Vermont or
Massachietts, while the currency
given to them under the banking sys-ti-tn
wits not one quarter as great, al
though the Western States . needed
currency the most. The act author
izing the banks of New York to or
tiaaize under a. general banking law
. was uot signed, because the currency
was uijustly divided, and because the
riyo'tewi iriarte an "useless tax .upon on?
people of $18,000,000 in gold each year.
Thus wo-tried at an early day to save.
oar country from sectional questions.
In vain We warned the East and West
agaiust au -.un. wtoe .' jooUcy.: : - The East
and West upheld the- policy of the
administration', and .'fr have now to
dealvith the results. What are some
of them ? - All of the States are heav
ily taxed, but some of them get back:
as much, some more than than they
pay out, while others get but little.
In the case of the heaviest item of ex;,
pense the military and naval system"
the "Western States get nothing i a k
except the eost ot;Indar vvar-while
large sums are spent at . the , South.
The next heaviest item is the interest
on the debt. The West gets but ai:
small sum back; most of it is paid to
the North Atlantic States. The in
direct taxes, tariffs, are still . more
hurtful to the West, as they ere prac
tically premiums given, to Eastern
manufacturers. -The division of the
favors of government in distributing
banking currency, is startling; in- its
injustice.; But the most offensive dis-"
tinction is that' of having two. kinds
oT currency, good money for the bond-.
holder, and bad money lor the labor
er, the pensioner and the business
mail. ". Every paper dollar ow;'put
out is a government falsehood, for it
claims to be worth more than its real
value, and it goesi. about Jiie country
defrauding the labore-, thefwnsionerr
the mechanic arid, the farmer. An
indignant chief of one of the tribes,
from whom . we taught ' land ;at ' an
early day by a pledge .of monied an-,
nuity, said this government? -was
cheat. It got land,froin.!.hj& Indians
by promising thera-so many-doHara

Is it true that the laborer,, the pen
sioner, the tax-payers and the bond
holders .have conflicting interests
which will hinder them from acting
together in upholding constitutional
right? Why are the tax-payers la
boring under a debt whicn bears an
interest ot six per cent., while other
Governments can borrow moneyat
thre6 jpef cent., and at this low inter
est their bonds sell Tor better, prices
than ours 2v Why is "the laborer, the
farmer, the mechanic and the pen
sioner paid in bad moneys so that they
get one quarter, less than they.are en
titled to on every paper collar paid
them ? .
Why is the bondholder wronged by
the tainted credit of the qvernrpent
