sire to call your attention to the great

j Whether you look at the development

look at the general consolidation of
the bu.-iuess of the country that it is
now placed upon solid foundations
that it is now cscaninar from that clc-
ment of iullatioii and speculation
which always disorders and in time
will destroy business bear in mind
that the business of the country is set

foundations, and that, though our ap

as when price's were high and when
there was a general spirit of specula

we most need at the present time is
not stability stability in business,
stability in the iinauc2s, stability in
those things that men must study and
understand and calculate upon when
engaged in individual enterprises, and
under.-tand well what they shall do
the next year or the next month.

prosperity and growth, there are croak

j in the mitk-t of this great rospcrity
and this gi-at allluence, who tell us
the country is on the very brink of
I ruin on the very eve of bankruptcy
and that if they are not plaeed in
power, or their party, every thing will
go to destruction. Now you know
the.se things are not so, and there is no
intelligent lady or gentleman here to
nightand I eare not what party they
belong to who, if they w ill take a
ile-liberate survey of the condition of
this community, of this State, and of
this nation, wid not come to the con-
j elusion that, as a people, we are more
prosperous in this year 1S70 than iu
any former period of our national life.
I spoke of stability; take, for exam
ple, the currency. We have had
trouble with our currency, growing
out of our war and out of a strange
and unnatural condition of thing,
but now it is coming back to solid
foundations. Only a short time ago
it was worth but iS cents on a dollar,
now it is worth 12, and we have every
reason to believe that if there shall be
no political disturbance, within six
months the paper dollar in your pocket
will be equal to a dollar in gold. This
is the great thing that we require to
have stability and solid foundations
for buincss.
There are politicians who tell us the
worst thing that could be done would

Perhaps no man in Indiana it may
be no man in any other Northern
State is more largely responsible for
bringing on this war than your own
distinguished rpre entati vc, Mr. Voor
hees. Why so? llecause before the
wa, he advocated the right of seees-
legal tender notes for the payment of
those bonds. What would be the ef
fect of that? The eflect of that would
be if followed up, first, to swindle our
That is what I said then. Senator
John Sherman said the same thing in
substance. lie has been quoted as le
ing iu favor of this Pendleton theory,
and it was always false in regard to
me.
Mr. Voorhees took what I said in
regard to the old greenbacks ami at
tempted to make it appear as applied
to the new. Senator Sherman always
denounced, as I have always elenounc-
ed, this Pendleton doctrine as being
simply repudiation and so it is.
I spoke to you about the effect of
our having three hundred and fifty
millions of paper money in circulation,
and the difficulty of bringing it to par.
It is well known to any business man
that if you were to isuo now three
hundred millions, or two hundred mil
lions, or one hundred millions of new
legal tender notes, you will thereby
inflate the currency, encourage a spirit
of speculation, send Up prices; ami
then the whole thing must come down
again of course; to ue a common ex
pression, it would "go up like a rocket
and come down like a stick." We
would have the same gloomy and ter
rible course to travel again. We are
now approaching a condition of solid
prosperity. Our currency is rapidly
becoming good; but if we issue fifteen
or sixteen hundred millions of green
backs to pay oil" these bonds, we would
rob our creel i tors, and then rob the
people by leaving this money in their
hands so depreciated that it would
take a hat full of it to buy a hat; it
might be had, as it was in France, for
a dollar a bushel.
Hut the most curious part of Mr.
Voorhees' plan is to come hereafter.
After he had announced his wonder
ful theory of paying ofl the national
debt without costing any body any
by tariff, and always shall. It ban
lecn done under every administration.
When the war came on w e could not
raie enough money by tariff". We
had to raie it by a tarifl in part. We
have leen reducing it an weculd, but
we still have to raise a hundred an I
fifty-five or a hundred and sixty mil
lion dollars a year, by a tariff, how
will you tr't monev to carnr on tht
government? Will you fet it by di
rect taxation? Is the Democratic
party in favor of that? CYrUinl;' not;
nobody is in favor of that. Then wo
must have a tariff to get revenue. It
is idle to talk about repealing it unJesi
you can carry on the government
without money. Mr. Voorhees has
discovered a way to pay the national
debt without taxation, without costing
anything; now if he can just lind a
way to carry on the government with
out money, the work of financial
reform will be complete, Laughter.
Then free trade is cut ef the ques
tion; when a man talks about it he
talks about a thing that is impossible.
I do not care in what manner you
adjust the taritr, if you have a tariff
at all it will allbrd some protection;
you must have a tariff for revenue,
I and free trade is out of the question
as Jong as you have a taiilf.
There are several kinds of tariff.
There is what is called a prohibitory
tariff that is an obsolete idea. I
know of nobody who is In favor of it.
Then there is a tarifl" for protection
that differs but little from from a pro
hibitory tariff in principle; that is not
the kind of tariff that we want. IJut
as a tariff for revenue will afford some
protection, and as we must have a tar
iir for revenue, we propose that the
protection shall result in favor of our
own producers, and not in favor of
foreign producers.
There are two or three ways of levy
ing a tariff. One way, advocated by
Mr. Kerr, is to levy its highest upon
articles that we do not produce at all,
such as tea, sugar and e-otfee.
If you do that, of course it mu-t
come lightest upon articles that we do
produce in competition with foreign
countries, so as to afford to our own
producers the least possible protection
and encouragement.
There is another plan called the
horizontal tariff, which is levied at an
equal rate of per cent, on all articles,
wi'hout regard to whether they aro
luxuries cr necessaries. It has been
said to be a tarifl of strict neutrality
between the home producer and the
foreign producer. If you think that
neutrality in that respect l-etweett
home producers and foreign producers
should prevail, then ytiu would bo
in favor of the hoiizontal tariff; but
thing, by manufacturing new paper j there are very few people who are in
money to do it, it seemed to enter his : favor ef that. In levying a tariff for
revenue, we should in the first place-
mind that that was rather an enor
mous proposition, and so, away toward
the close of his speech he intimated
that perhaps after all these bonds
might be paid. When? Why at the
end of fifteen or twenty years, and
after all theembarrassment and injury
to the business interests of the county
that would result in the meantime;
after the money had passed out of the
hands of the creditors of the govern
ment into the hands of the people,
then it might be paid in coin. Yes;
after all the suffering, financial and
commercial, that would be the inevit
able result of such a state of things,
and when this money has passed into
the hands of the brokers and sharpers
who have bought it up for a mere song,
then, Mr. Voorhees says, the Govern
put the tax higher upon luxuries than
upon necessaries, and then, if theru
inna be a discrimination, let it be iu
favor of our home producers.
Then there is another method of
levying a tariff; put it lowest on arti
cles that we do not prmluce, and
higher upon articles that we do pro-
' duce, so that there will be at all times
a fair and equal competition between
the foreign and the home preKlucer.
If you make it prohibitory tariff you
get no revenue by it. If you put it
below the jioint of competition you
get revenue only, and give the market
over to the foreign producer. We du
not want a prohibitory tariff; we d
not want to make a monoj-ly here;
but as you must have a tariff, how
ment may redeem it. I say the Gov- j si,0uld vou levy it? I sav, iv.it it at a

Mr. Pendleton said not a word about
