THE SPECULATION IN GOLD.
On Thursday of last week, April 14th,
gold arose in New York to the unpre
cedented figure of 189, ten or twelve
per cent. higher than at any time in
this war. On the first of July last,
while Lee was driving our army out of
Gettysburg, and expecting utterly to
destroy it and to march on Baltimore,
Washington, or Philadelphia unopposed,
gold was but 47. This was perhaps the
darkest day in our nation's history. At
the defeat of Chancellorsville it was 50.
We don't believe there is any reason ]
whatever for the above enormous rates,
and in fact, ere this reaches our readers,
the premium may have already' sunk
to a more reasonable level. Bad men,
in principle gamblers, take advantage
of the excited state of feeling, of the
uncertainty and the fear of men, and
being skilled in all the shrewd arts of
the stockboard and being utterly reck
less of the credit or the life of the na
tion, and in some instances, perhaps,
in secret league with the public enemy,
systematically decry and depreciate the
issues of the government, and give the
whole force of their zeal and their finan
cial talents to the work of making mo
ney, some way and every way, in the
operation. This disloyal, traitorous in
fluence, in connection with that utter
recklessness as to the fate of the nation
which characterizes the gambling specu
lator, must not be left out, of view, in
estimating the causes of the rise in
gold. There are, we think, men of
wealth and ability, operating on the
stockboard, as there are in Congress,
and even , in the army, who desire to see
the plans of the government for the
suppression of the rebellion frustrated
and who labor industriously to that
end. If they cannot secure our defeat
in the field, they will work discomfiture
and confusion at home. The scenes at
the New York stockboard last week,
arc as good as a victory to Jeff. Davis.
What Gen. Lee could not do to disturb
our finances by his raid into Pe,nnsylva
nia, some " money king" in New York.
City has done. It is a wickedness of
uncommon dye thus to seek to destroy',
the foundations of our national credit,
to enormously increase the expense of
dealing with the rebellion, and to bring
disorder into our whole business, for the
sake of reaping an illegitimate gain
and growing rich on the spoils.
The imputation, in all this endeavor
to depress our currency,:is, that it is
not worth the amount of its face, or
that the country will not be able to
meet its promise to Xi - 3 yet, and
for a long period to come, the imputa
tion is scandously false and dishonest.
Let us see. Six months ago the public'
debt was $1,222,113,599; adding at the
rate of two millions a day, we have
for the present indebtedness less than
$1,500,000,000, nearly one third of which
is without interest. The average rate
of interest is about 4 per cent., or sixty
millions on the whole slim per annum.
If we turn to the valuable comparative
table of National Burdens and Re
sources, pages fifty and fifty-one, in
Childs' National Almanac, we shall find
among other interesting facts, that
while our debt increases at the rate of
two millions a day, the various products
of the capital, land and labor of the
loyal States are at the rate of nearly
eleven millions per day. While every
person, man, woman, and child, makes,
on an average, $155 a year, the annual
tai'On each for the debt is about $2.50
or a Milk over 11 per cent.
Great Britain, with a population but
25 per cent. greater than that of the
loyal States, has a t2,2ht nearly three
times as great as ours, and which we
shall not reach in three years more of
war, at the present rate of expenditare•
The charges on her debt are at less
rates, but the annual product of her
industry during 1863 was much less
than that of the loyal Stites, being $lll
to each inhabitant, against $155 for each
of our people. Should our wealth in
crease during the next twenty years at
the:barna rate at which it has increased
in the past twenty, our debt, at matu
rity, would be but about 3 per cent. of
all the wealth of the loyal States. By
a tax of $3.00 on the hundred which
every man owns, the debt would be
swept out of existence at a stroke.
We state these things to show how
small a burden upon the country the
debt incurred in the war is, or is likely
to be ; and how blind or criminal the
policy of depreciating this wealthy na
tion's promises to pay. True, we go
upon the supposition of final success in
our struggle; and we have at least as
good a right to do so as others have to
predict failure. We think any man
foolish, or inimical to the cause, who acts
upon a contrary supposition.
The gold panic has its uses. It loudly
reminds the authorities, that, by some
adequate method of taxation they should
prove that the country felt disposed to
pay its debts, and knew how to arrange
the complicated business of paying.
They must not give unprincipled specu
lators the advantage they would gain
from an inefficient sy
and from a spirit of seeming indiffer
ence on the whole subject. A good tax
bill would be the greatest blow, aside
from a succession of victories, that spec
ulators could receive. The panic, too,
warns us against a wild spirit of specu
lation and extravagance. Moderation
should rule the ventures, expenditures,
and tastes of good citizens at such a
time. The paths of legitimate business
should not be forsaken with levity for
the deceitful openings offering on every
hand. Foreign luxuries should be es
chewed, and everything done to dimin
ish our indebtedness abroad. A sound
Christian merchant should not rush, at
the first appearance of a rise, to take
advantage of it, by putting all his goods
at extravagant figures. The question
may well arise, whether there is not
enough wealth and enough business in
fluence in the hands of the sober, loyal,
and Christian portion of the commu
nity at the centres of business, to seri
ously check, by example and precept, the
tendencies to inflation which reckless
and unprincipled men are laboring to
promote. Are the springs of the com
mercial system of our :country at the
mercy of unscrupulous, base, disloyal
men, or not ? Are Christian men in
business too few in numbers or too weak
in principle to withstand their crooked
and crafty designs ? This is the time
to discover the facts in the case.
REV. DR. E. D. BAUDER'S APPEAL
MI BEHALF OF OUR RE-ENLISTED VETERAN
SOLDIERS.
The undersigned will present to the
benevolent and patriotic a few facts, a
proposition, an argument, and, an ap
peal.
TEE FAcTS.—Veteran soldiers, after
serving more than two years, re-enlisted,
in many instances, before the highest
local bounties were offered. Rendered
childless by this war, the undersigned,
through pyppathy with the families
of soldiers, conceived the idea that
local councils, by a very small tax, will
be willing to supply to these families
(few in any one place) this deficiency.
He has, with entire success, presented
these views to the citizens of Philadel
phia. The following editorial in the
Philadelphia Ledger, April 7th, makes
a full explanation :
THE 'VETERANS OF PHILADELPHIA.-
• - e,berstam woligtioa <mar
armies received no bounties, but the jus
tice of their claims to them. has since
been acknowledged by one branch of
councils, and there is a fair prospect that
the other branch will to-day complete
this act of justice, by unanimously pass
ing the ordinance also This measure was
first originated in the meetings of the
Ward Delegates, by Professor Saunders,
and as Chairman of that Committee he
has since prosecuted it with the zeal and
energy which have characterized his
movements in behalf of the soldiers and
the Bounty Fund. It will secure a hand
some and deserved recompense to the
early patriotism. which inspired so many
men to leave lucrative situations for ser
vice in their country's cause and be a
welcome benefit to those families de
prived so long of their aid and support.
The ordinance passed with almost en
tire unanimity secures about seventy-five
thousand dollars to be divided among
nearly two thousand families in Phila
delphia.
A. PROPOSITION.-Will not benevolent
citizens of other places, whose veterans
received less bounties than newly enlist
men, stimulated by so pleasant an in
stance of this success, bring this matter
before some active members of their
local councils.
THE ARGIIMENT.—Justice requires it.
'Me old veterans ought not to reoeive
less''bounty than newly enlisted men.
Policy requires it. Soldiers will be
made more eAthusiastic by kind atten
tions to their families.
In the camps tiwy will encourage
others to trust their fellow-citizens, and
re-enlist promptly without. waiting to
see what bounties will be offered,
THE APPEAL.-If any reader of -this
article, which Editors of Religious and
Patriotic papers are earnestly requested
to publish, feels impelled to do anything
for the thrice-lonely families of re-en
listed veterans in his neighborhood, let
him instantly make a movement and he
will be amazed to find the amount of
co-operation . ..which he will receive. Let
him do it as a Christian, and the re
lieved families and their neighbors will
feel an increased regard for that type
of Christianity which provides for the
wants of the deserving. Philadelphi
ans are no more benevolent or patriotic
than other Americans. Their acquies
sence and zeal in this matter have sur- ,
prised the writor. Similar efforts will,
by the blessing of God, meet with simi
lar success everywhere.

FOR THE
U. S. SANITARY COMMISSION.
Optics Or THE CONXITTEZ ox Liam, INCOMES AND
REVENUES, No. 118 South Seventh street,,
PHELLDELPHIA, April 15,1884.
The Committee on " Labor, Incomes and Revenues"
invite co-operation with them in the particular work for
which they have been appointed. As no portion of the
people are more patriotic than the workingmen and
women of the country, it is but just and proper that
they should alike have an opportunity to contribute to
the objects of the Fair. The most equable plan for
accomplishing this, and at the same time the easiest
one, is to ask for the contribution of a single day's
labor from all classes in the community. Many will
contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would
not subscribe their money.- To reach every depart
ment of industry and art will be a work of great labor,
but if attained, will be productive of immense results.
The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty
co-operation of every element of influence within our
limits, and we invite all the guardians of the industrial
interests, and all others, to take hold with us in fur
thering this great work of patriotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the following duty
First. To obtain the contribution of "one day's
labor" or earnings from every artisan and laborer,
foreman, operative and employee ; president, cashier,
teller and clerk of every incorporated and unincorpo
rated company, railroad and express company, em
ploying firm, bank, manufactory, iron works, oil works,
mill, mine and public office ; from every private banker
and broker, importer, auctioneer and merchant; clerk'
agent and salesman; designer, finisher and artist; pub
lisher, printer and mechanic; from every Government
officer, contractor and employee; grocer, butcher, baker
and dealer; farmer, horticulturist and producer; from
every mantua-maker, milliner and female operative;
every individual engaged in turning the soil, tending
the loom, or in any way earning:a livelihood or build
ing a fortune Within the States of Pennsylvania, New
'Jersey and Delaware.
Second. To obtain the contribution of one day's
"revenue" from all the great employing establish
ments, firms, corporations, companies, railroads and
works.
Third. To obtain the contribution of one day's in_
come from every retired person and persons of fortune
—male and female—living upon their means, and from
all clergymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists, editors,
authors and professors, and all other persons engaged
in the learned or other professions.
Much of this work must be performed by the per
sonal influence and efforts of ladies and t men as
sedated or to be associated with the Committee in
carrying out the plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of the work
they h v3ve undertaken, which, to be successful, wil l
require a very perfect ramification of their plan, and
they therefore call upon all earnest people to assemble
themselves together in every town, township and
county, and form organizations of ladies and gentle_
men to co operate with them in this great work and
labor of love. In the manufacturing counties, the coal
and oil regions, and in the agricultural districts—
especially let there be organizations in the larger
towns, so that the young people may have an opportu_
nity thus to render assistance to their relatives and
friends fighting the battles of their country in the
armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be prosecuted where
no other effort can be made for the Fair, as in the
mines of the coal regions. A day's earnings of the
miners and a day's product of the mines can be ob.
tamed, where no portable article could be procured
TOTtraMrportedion.—.T.-trolerech-fakara-is-no part or. aeobio •
of these States where the day's labor may not be ob"
tamed, if organisations can be formed to reach them.
The Committee cannot close without urging upon all
proprietors of establishments the duty of taking prompt
and energetic action to secure the benefit of the day of
labor from all within their control.
The Coinmittee deem it unnecessary to do more than
thus to present the subject to the people of the three
States named. In the coming campaigns of our armies
the labors of the Sanitary Commission" will be greatly
augmented. By the first of Juno 700,000 men—one of
the largest armies of modern times—will be operating
in the field. So large a force, scattered over regions to
which the men are unacclimated, must necessarily
carry along with it a large amount of sickness, suffering
and death, to say nothing of the gathered horrors of the
battle-field.
These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and
Christians, to relieve. A great and enlightened people,
enjoying the blessings of a Government of their own
making, cannot refuse assistance to ,men suffering to
maintain its authority, and we will not believe that the
GREAT CENTRAL FAIR,
drawing its products from the three States of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so affluent . in all
mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth, shall fall
behind any similar effort which has yet been made for
the relief of the Nation's children. "+",
As it is desirable not to muliiply circulars, no further
authority than this circular will be necessary for any
employing firm or company, or any respectable Committee
of Laiiee and G entlemen, to proceed at once in the work of
this committee.
Ettbscriptions will be immediately acknowledged in
the newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable
that they commence at once; as each fresh acknow
ledgement will stimulate further effort.
