Caption: WHAT THE SENATORIAL CABAL CAN NOT “BLOW OVER.”

The text on the pedestal reads:

Success has generally attended the effort to execute all laws found upon the statute-books. The policy has been not to inquire into the wisdom of the laws already enacted, but to learn their spirit and intent, and to enforce them accordingly ..... The national debt has been reduced to the extent of $86,057,126 80 during the year ..... The interest account is nearly $17,000,000 less than the 1st of March, 1869. ..... I therefore recommend a modification of both the tariff and internal tax laws ..... It has been the aim of the administration to enforce honesty and efficiency in all public offices. Every public servant who has violated the trust placed in him has been proceeded against with all the rigor of the law ..... A salutory lesson has been taught the careless and the dishonest public servant in the great number of prosecutions and convictions of the last two years. It is gratifying to notice the favorable change which is taking place throughout the country, in bringing to punishment those who have proved recreant to the trust confided to them, and in elevating to public office none but those who possess the confidence of the honest and virtuous, who, it will always be found, comprise the majority of the community in which they live. (Signed) U. S. GRANT
