As Mr. Boutwell has chosen the act of 1802 "as the basis of liis?action'i ! it'will be upon;;this - act I shall comment;.for. .upon the. full, compre ; Ivensloii of this act and its exact execution ' will mainly depend the success of his undertaking. I will, therefore, introduce tlie act here, as needful to afnll apprehe.nsion. of ; its merits; as . well as the groundwork- of my ■ elucidation of its Operation. Tlie Sinking Fund act . was passed by the 'Tliirty-seveiVtli Congress, second session, cltap* lei- 3p, .section, filtji,, .February 25, .1802, .

Secondly, T<f* ,’tha" payment?'dr prir cliase of one per centum of the entire debt of the United States, to-be made ivitljih.eacliiiscal year after the first day of July 1862, which is; to be set .apart as a sinlidng fund;! *and,: the in lerest of whicli (the one per centum so pur chased) shall in like manner be applied to the purchase or payment of the public debt, as the Secretary or the Treasury may, from time to time direct.” , Mr. BoutwcU has long since told us wliat would be his course of action in the premises, July 22d, 1808, he moppsed, the isstie of twelve hundred millions in bonds at various rates per cent, arid time, principal ami Interest payable in coin, and said there would still remain one thousand riiillions for which no provision would be marie; that thorisarid millions would be something upon wliicb to go and come for the next fifteen, years. He might well, and most wisely, have added that, lie would ,piake this a. perpetuity, or stock never to be paid, a fund under the guarantee of tire United States for its secririty, in which all could invest, at all times, unemployed capital, lira ‘security unsurr passed in the world, and prove itself to be the great financial balance.-\vhecl of American ex changes with all other nations, and one which never rieed to be changed or airiended. The only condition to , be attached to this thousand millions ’ perpetuity should be tlie privilege, at the end of . some fixed period, or periods, say twenty years, thirty years or. forty years,, the United States should* have the right to lower the rate of inte rest to five, four or three per cent., or pay it oft; if the bondholders refused to lower,the rates to a fair average of interest in other commercial nations of the world. ! > . He frirthSr said liis opposition to the bill be fore the Committee of, Ways and Means was of the iririst serious character, inasmuch as it pro posed to put it out of the power of the Govern ment to pay its debts, unless it went in the market to buy up Its bonds. Referring to the advance in gold, he said be did not doubt tliat one cause of the increased price of gold was the accumulation of gold.in the Treasury, , If the theory of those who Advocated a reduction of the circulating raedinm was corrcct,gold should be to-day at 100 instead of , 143. ? • ; He was opposed to the sale of. gold, but j thought that the gold in the Treasury might be ; utilized by the Secretary of the ‘ Treasury an ticipating the payment of the interest on oil the debt, on an abatement to be made,which would be so much gold thrown upon the markets of the country. The offer has been made by Mr. Boutwell in good truth. It was not accepted; and why? For no other reason than that no security was so good as an United States gold-bearing bond, or could be made to pay as well. The act of! 1802 is all the law.that is needed ; for the; gradual and certain sinking of the principal of ; tlie funded debt, now bearing interest- in coin.; A beginning has been made, and in the mode • contemplated by the Sinking Fund act of Feb.; 25,1862, which will, by the regular- exchange* of the surplus;gold derived from eustoms, soon \ bring United States bonds to the par of gold.; All that is required to bring this about is to | apply all the coni over and above the interest; on the public debt firmly anil persistently to; the redemption of the United States bonds, as j directed by the act of lBfS2. ; i : ‘ / As to the mode of its execution: the law says, •“as the Secretary of the Treasury may from! time to time direct”. Very proper: Whose position enables him to judge better than he can? sfo one, certainly: He has madchis choice by selling gold for ; currency, and buying United States bonds- with; currency. The best proof-that he is right is that all the bankers and brokers are doing just tbe same. Let some one try this proportion— * as $l4O is to $ll5, so fe 100 gold dollars to the: sum in gold paid for a one hundnxbdollar: bond paying six per cent, coin interest. If this process and tbe sinking fund of one per cent.: per annum on twenty-five hundred millions does not pay off the debt (extike) quick enough to please tbe most ardent national debt advocate of-its payment, I have; no doubt tlie Secretary of the Treasury would be very win ing io accept/ of hint a better system. Mr. Boutwell can change his plan if he finds it cuts too deep.; He-can call in any part of the tive-tweritv bonds which , liave nut more than five years,"and which are , now redeemable at liie pleasure of the‘Government at par in coin. This power of the Secretary of tlie Treasury to redeem the bonds is a complete barrier to any interruptiou of the continuous effects of tbe Sinking Fund, so vital to itri success. The sum proposed to becarried to the Sink ing Fund annually under the act of 1862 is on 6 per cent,; on the debt—-say twenty-five hundred rinllions, viz.: (Twenty-five million a year) as an annuity at compound interest, tlie execution of which'proceeds in this wise: Tlie interest on the twenty-five hundred mil lion is to be paid first by the Secretary of the. Treasury in gold received on tlie imports of foreign goods. He is then to apply twenty live millions of gold, received alto as duties on imported .merchandise, and . purchase or re deem twenty-five riullionk of United States bonds, which bonds are not to be reissued, but retained by tbe Sinking Fund Commissioners, and the interest received by them from the Secretary of the Treasury and applied as far as it will sene, witli tlie successive annual ap propriations; to the continuous purchase or re demption of United States bonds until all are paid.

' Boutwell's plan how, being put into cxe ; cation,under the act of 1862. is fundamentally > sound; .indisputable . and irrefutable} ,-itis. mathematically'true. ■ The simple question is, What amount can be taken from the circulation of the; country, by taxation, to produce surplus revenue,' to be canied to the sinking fund account, and not • unsettle the commerce of thenation to. au undue extent ? In other words, is riot taxa tion already too onerous? If the plan now being acted upon by the Secretary of the Trea sury does not work beneficially, all that need he dqne to meet the, act,of 1802 wdl be Ur call in the bonds that have run five yearn; hr the numerical order of - then 1 issue, and pay them in coin, as stipulated and now fully admitted by all to be the Law. Mr. BoutweU’s opera tions, taking bito view bis very systematic mode’of handling his gold,- first selling it* for. currency, ' then < buying bonds with ’ the cur rency,under the formula of as-140 to 115, so is 100 to the specie price of five-twenties, and the magnitude of liis operations, thus far, of one lnillion. per week, or fifty-two millions per annum, will soon make short. shrift of twenty live hundred millions of debt. An annuity of fifty-two millions of dollars per annum, at six per cent, compound interest; for 23 years, gives as a result, twenty-live hun dred and ninety millions. The same in fifty years, fifteen billions nhiety-seven millions. I Half the sum on twenty-six iiullioris peraji j bum, for tliiirtj’-tbree years, ajndunts. to, twenty i live hundred millions, without taking into the account the specie price paid for the bonds at each purchase: until specie payments are re : sumed. The fifty-two million calculation for ; fifty years is here introduced to show the supe rior advantages of annuity on loaris for long terms of years over loans for short terms of years to be paid off. Fifty-two millions in fifty years produces more than six times the amount that filly-two millions will at the same rate in twenty-five years. The first amounts to fif teen billions and ninety-seven millions; the last amounts to twenty-nine hundred millions only. Again, twenty-six millions per annum in thirty three years amounts to twenty-five hundred millions, and fifty-two millions per annum in twenty-three years amounts only to twenty-five hundred millions, or under that sum. To the above elucidation of the proper ap plication of. annpal appropriations (as a sink ing fund), let me suggest to those who have the intellect and leisure to think upon our present condition, financially speaking—and who should countenance every wise hint on the subject—the fact that six mills or six tenths of one cent for ten years, and five mills or one-half cent for seventeen years more, or in twenty-seven years as an annual tax rate upon the now estimated wealth of the; United States, of twenty-five billions, or twenty-five thousand millions, increasing one billion an nually—say to .fifty-one billions in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-six, or in twenty seven years, Will pay the entire,interest of . the: debt each year, and liquidate the debt of: twenty-seven hundred millions of dollars! Such isr the fact—and no miracle at that. The strenatli and wealth ,of this nation is a young Hercules in its cradle, that has already stran gled the serpent'of dismuon, and will soon Ire, strong and vigorous enough to liquidate the ; national debt—much sooner than those who; hold its bonds desire—with an effortso slight; that its people will wonder that any one ever doubted its ability to do so. All that is needed ; is to educate the people of the United States up to the standard of thought and conclusions, not at all beyond the capabilities of the age we live'in, on the tremendous energies of the freest and most happily situated nation on the face of the earth.
