Tammany lias been democrat-
ic some years, republican sonto
years, independent some years,
—but it has been for Tammany
always.

they were driven from the Coun-

Why can’t lie be punished?
Because too many powerful

hence he is safe.

(he act of 187^ had taken away
from the Secretary the power to
do the thing for which tho issu-
ing of bonds bad alone been pre-
viously authorized:
But Mr. Carlisle, having got
liitnsclf into the difficulty by vio-
lating one statute, decided to got
himself out of it by violating
another. IIo therefore issued
♦50,000,900 in 8 per cent bonds
under the Act of 1875, ond used
tire money which he got for
them in paying tho expenses of
the government, whereas, the
law of 1875 said ho was bound
to uso it in retiring Greenbacks
—while tbe law of 1878 suidlliat
no more Greenbacks should be
retired.
This was a lovely situatson in
which democratic statesmanship
had got itself.
Having howled at Foster for
continuing old bonds nt 2 per

botids at 5 per cent—fixing Ibeir

There is no law whatsoever
which authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury to issue hot) Is
for any purpose except for the
destruction of Greenbacks, and a
later law says that no moro
Greenbacks shall he destroyed.
Yet he has already violated
that law once, by issuing $50,-
