We have pas-ed a Funding Dill.
What is that? We mean by a Fund

able to reilucc the rate of interest on

loaned their money to the Govern

three kinds f new londs. First,

second, lninds to the amount of two

third, bond to the amount of one

Wo authorize our Secretary to sell
the-e bonds, if he can, at par. If he
can sell a boml at par that draws only
1 per cent, interest, then he can take
the money he gets for that bond ami
buy w ith it another bond that draw s six
per cent., ami thus save to the Govern
ment two per cent per annum. If he
sell a bond lrawing four and a half

rate of taxation-even with h-s, lw-
cau-e under Johnson's administration
the tax on whi-ky was two dollars per j
gallon, while it i now iifiy cents per.
gallon, we have an ine:ea-e of more
than thirty-two millions in the re-
eeipts of Internal lh?vctiue in sixteen
month-. Mr. Iloutwell goes on:
"Ami an incrca-c of nineteen mil-lion-,
four hundred and six thousand,
nine hundred ai.il fifty-three dollars,
in custom tluties, for the same period
and upon the same eompari-on, mak
ing an aggregate of fifty-one million,
four hundreu and eight thousand, six
hundred and ninety dollars."
Ju-t resulting from an hoiio-t admin
istration! When you add this to w hat
we have gaincil in the way of econ
omy by reducing the expenditures,
you will understand how we are able
to reduce taxation eighty millions of
dollars by one single blow.
I read again from hi statement:
"The h-crca-e of the public lebt for
the last six mouth is one humlre 1 and
thirty-nine million, one hundred and
four thousand, six hundred and sixty
dollars."
Sim c (Iran4, came into power, and
up to the oih lay of July, nearly one
hundred and forty millions of the
public lebt have been paid ofT, and I
have ju-t got a di-pateh show dug that
up to to-night the puhlic dcht will
have been leduecd vei one hundred
and forty-six millions since Genera!
Grant came into power, while iluring
the last sixteen months of President
Johnson being in power only eight
millons of reduction was made, or a
little over; eeitainly less than nine
millions. At this rate the public lebt
will be paid 11 in less than fifteen
years. Jt is true you have all been
ground 1 own by taxation; all perish
ing with it. You are all poor, badly
dressed and half starved, .is you all

hundred and forty millions f this

Here is another great result. Is it
not better to pay oil" the debt in thh
way than to attempt to sw indle the
creditors out of it by i.-suing irredeem
able paper for the whole amount? To
have the m lose the debt and the peo
ple lose the currency? and noboily
gain any thing by it but the sw indlers
and shavers? I say, In the presence
of these great results, all Democratic
arguments fall to the ground, and
come 1 0 nothing.
And what ha boon thine in thcee
sixteen months will be irerea-cd in
the next sixteen month. The admin
istration is getting better month aflcr
month, and will get better y ear after
y ear. The machinery is only fairly in
operation now. General Grant has
boon working hard; he has been doing
the be-t he eould, poor man; but he
has not got all of Johnson's ollieials
out yet. He is doing the best he can .

was levied? At the time the tax was
levied the State lid not expect that
the general Government would he in

the general Government has settled to
the amount of nearly half a million,

money to the payment of the bonds.

Loud
and protracted cheering.,
Now, I want to tell you something
about the condition of Indiana before
the 1st of January, LSfil, when the
Republican party came into power.
Up to the 1st of January, 1SÖ7, from
the first of April, 1840, the State lebt
had been reduced only ?-ISo,0'Ju in a
time of profound peace, and when
taxes were all tho time levied to pay
the State debt. Hut from the 1st of
January, 1k."7, lo the 1st of January,
1801, it had been increased some two
millions of dollars w ithin four years.
Why had it not been reduced in an
equal ratio during the former period?
What was the cause of it? Had gov
ernment, mismanagement sijuamler
ing the money of the State.
Mr. llendrieka, the other tiny, speak
ing of this at Vincennes, said: "Sup
pose this llepublican party has paid
oil the Sdate lebt, did they not tax
the people for it." Laughter. To
be sure we tlitl. We are not slight-of-liand
gentlemen. We do not claim
that we have found out a way to pay
the State lebt, or the national lebt,
without costing any hotly any thing.
No; we tax the people for If, but the
beauty of it i that we nj plied all the
money to the payment of the debt.
Not a dollar of it wa squandered;
every cent of it was faithfully applied.
What is the diflcrenee? Why, for tho
ten years preceding the war, the peo
ple of Indiana were continually taxed
to pay the State debt, as you w ill see '
by looking on the statute book during cratic party if they can get any con
that time, but the money was not siderablc portion of the colored vote

he might thereby get the German vote. !
We never said that, nut on the con- j

way been the true friend of the (Jer- j
man the man of foreign birth. Why?.
I localise we are the true fi lends of j
those that love liberty; w e are the true '
friends of the laboring loan; we have
alway s been in favor of making labor i
hotiorahlo, and hate slavery because'
slavery dishonored labor. The lie-!
publican patty has always been the
great labor party or this eountiy, ami
always will be. It is the true friend
of the man of foreign birth, and the
liberty-loving German falls naturally
into the arms of the llepublican party.
That is w here he finds his natural
resting place, ami now, as that great
German family is about to be embroil
ed in a bloody war with France, I
think the sympathies of the Itepubli
j (.:m ,,arty f the United States will go
with the great German family in that
contest. Loud and long applause.
