'pr ex-pc- td T consistent with a fair regard to the inlaimediute terests of the debtor cla-- . resnroplioB, if practicable, would not be desirable. It would compel the debtor class to pay beyond their ooutracta a premium pu gold at the date of their purchase, aad would bring bankruptcy and ruin to thousands. Fluctuations, fcowever, in the paper value of the measure of all values, sold, ii detrimental te the interest of trade. It makes the man of business an involuntary gambler, for in alt ules where future payment is to be made both parties speculate as te what will ' be the value on currency-- to be paid ana received. ' I eurocstly recommend to you such legislation as will insure the gradual return te specie payments, and put an immediate atop te the fluctuations in the value of currency." I still adhere to the views tbea expressed. As early as Dec. i, 1805, the House of Representatives passed a resolution, by a vote of 144 to b concurring in the views of the . Secretary of the Treasury in relation to the necessity of a contraction of the currency, with a view of as early a resumption of specie p synient as the business in erests of the csuntry would permit, pledging action to this end as speedily as possible. The first act passed by the 41ft Congress, on the 18th of March, 1800, was "An Act to strengthen the public credit of the United States. (Here the ast referred to is inserted in full.) This act still remains is a continuing pledge of the faith of the U S. to make provision it the earliest practicable moment f r the redemption of U. S. notes in coin. A declaration contained in the act of June Oth, 1864, created an obligation that the total amount of U. S. notes sued or to be issued should never exceed $400,000,000. The amount in actual circulation was actually reduced to &350,000,000, at which point Congress pas el an act on Feb. 4th, 1868, suspending the further reduction of currency. The $ 14,000,000 have been regarded as a reserve to be used in case ef emergency, such as has occurred on lev. er&l occasions, and must occur when from any cause tbe revenues suddenly fall below the expenditures; and such reserve is necessary because the fractional currency amounting to $50,000,-00- 0 is redeemable ia legal tenders on call. It may be so id that such a return ef fractional currency far redemption is improbable, but let steps be taken for a return te a specie basis, and it will be found that silver will take the place ef fractional currency as rapidly as it can be supplied. Wheu the premium on gold reaches a sufficiently low point, with the amount of V. 3. notes to be issued and fixed permanently within the proper limits, and the Treasury is so strengthened as to be able to redeem tbcm in coin, on demand, it will then be safe to inaugurate a system of free banking with such provisions as to make compulsory redemption of circulating notes of banks in coin or U. S. notes, themselves redeemable and made eq'.iivalcnt to coin. As measures preparatory to free banking, ,or for placing Government in a position te redeem its notes in coin at the earliest practicable moment, the revenues of the country should be increased n as to pay the current expenses, provide for the kinking fund required by law, and also for a surplus to be retained in the Treasury, in gold. I am not a believer in any artificial method of making paper money equal lo coin, when coin is not owned or held really to redeem the promise to.poy; fer paper money is nothing mora than promises to pay, aud valuable exactly iu proportion to the amouut of coin it can be converted into. While coin is not used as the circulating medium, or the currency of the couutry is net convertible into it at par, it becomes aa article of commerce as any other product, the surplus will seek a foreign 'market, s well as any other surplus. The balance of trade has nothing to do with (be question of the duties on imports being required in coin to create a limited demand for gold, and about enough to satisfy that demand remains in the country. To inorease this supply I see no way opeu but by government boarding, through the means above given,' and possibly by requiring National b'tnks to aid. It is claimed by the advooates of the measure herewith returned, that there is an unequal distribution of the banking capital of tho country. I was disposed to give great weight to this view of the question at first, but on reflection it will be remembered that there remains $4,000,000 of the authorized btnk nte circulation assigned to the States having their quota not yet taken, la addition to this the States having less than their quota of the benk circulation have the option of $'.'00,000,000 more to b j taken froui those Slates having more than their proportion. Vt'ben this is all taken up, or when specie payments are fully restored, or are in rapid process of restoration will be time to consider the question of more currency.
