Pendleton cites 1865 debt figures and GOP credit
The speech by The Hon. Geo H Pendleton claims 1865 notes and debts totaled about 6 000 million while the 1st instant debt stood at 2 127 million. He credits the Republican administration with paying off nearly four thousand million in ten years and urges continued party leadership to preserve national credit.
