Hayes and Democrats in 1872 campaign clash over war debts
Long lettered critique claims Republican rule inflated debt across nine Southern and border states after the Civil War. It argues taxes rose dramatically, avoiding return to prewar costs, and accuses the Hayes administration of plunder and misrule while contrasting with Democratic reform. It cites Governor Brown and various figures, urging readers to oppose the Republican platform and support Tilden.
