Boutxvell, as Secretary of the, Trea
sury, and as Agent of the People, is fully
justified, at
. all . times, in Smashing up. any
and every. Combination of Speculators, either
in Gold or Currency. . ,
•
Article Ist, Section Bth, of the Constitution
of tbe.United States, says the Congress shall
:have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, im
posts and excisas ;. to pay the debts and provide
for the common defence and general welfare of
, the United States; to borrow money on the
credit of the United States, and to -make all
laws which'shall be necessary and proper for
carrying into execution the, foregoing powers.
The Congress of the United. States was corn
'pelled to borrow money on the credit of the •
' United .States, and the wisdom of this provi
sion of the Constitution is amply vindicated in
the fact that it carried • us • triumphantly
throUgh the great rebellion, and that
iive are this day the United States, doubly and
trebly , riveted in our unity of sentiment,
feeling and action It was under that pro
vision of the Constitution that the Congress of
the United: States, at the commencement of the
rebellion—taking a calm, wise and enlarged
view of the difficulties and clangers threatening
the dissOlutiOn of this great Republic—resolved
to take full and entire possession of' the whole
currency of the country, whether specie or
paper, in self-defence, and regulate- and con
trol it. This was the trae and sound con
struction of the Constitution, upon which de
pended the salvation of thi4 Union, as well as
the interest, safety and welfare of " every- •man
and child in its broad domain. It was a bold
stroke' at the right time. Thig power was, is
and ever will be the ark of our Union. 'When
, ever this government, shall cease to regulate
and control the: currency -- or the banks, and
leave the only sound. basis that measures
commercial values to the wild and wicked
speculations of bankers and capitalists, such as
we have lately witnessed, and which is only
speculation' repeating its oft-told tale of woe—
we may bid a long farewell to well-regulated
commerce; we will become a nation of stock
gamblers, with all the dire
. evils following in
their train. The present currency, much as it
is abused, is the safest, soundest, most conve
nient and most approved of any this country .
has ever had. The whole people of the United
States owe this debt, and will in due time, ere
long,, pay every cent of it in gold. The Na
tonal Government has now the entire bank
ing capital of the United States under its:abso
lute. control; it can uphold and prOtect it, and
'it will do it. It is even now leading the banks
back quietly and gently to specie payments,
and will reach that desired goal much sooner
. than one in a thousand can comprehend. The
ayEisheingprepared_daily—We_are approach
ing that most desirable period with a step as
sure as time—with apace that will protect all
interests and injure none. Those who control
the fa:lan:chi affairs of the government are not
only eminently competent, but are-lending
themselves with a will to gradually
king them back to a sound and permanent
condition. When that shall have been ef
feeted, it will take its leave of them, with the
parting advice' to keel) within their proper
sphere, and they will !-be let severely alone.
Who is so unwise as to wish to deprive this Ad
ministration of its lawful power to settle its
ii: • i .
. . . . .
placed its civil administration? All commercial
prosperity is based only upon a well-regulated
'currency ; it cannot exist otherwise; the world
may be searched in vain for. an example to the
. contrary. Wherever commercial prosperity.
exists on•a permanent basis, the currency has
ever been an attribute of the Government. As
such, the governments. of the world have ever
claimed and exercised this power, almost with
out dispute. The Constitution of the United
States places the entire control of the currency
in the Government: The Congress shall
have power to coin money, regulate
the value thereof and of foreign coin. And the
States gave up these rights when in section 10,
• article 1, it says : No State shall coin money,
emit bills of credit, make anything but gold
and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.
No sound constitutional judge or lawyer can
fora moment - hesitate - to declare - that the-power
exercised by the States in granting bank char
ters was a violation of the Constitution of the
United_States, if they issued bills of credit,,or
in other words, bank notes. 'This act is based
upon the maxim, that quotifacit per (Want, facet
per se; or, what you cannot constitutionally
or legally do yourself, you cannot do by others.
Bank notes are bills of credit, and not money;
- nothing but - gold - and silver -cohl—whichis the --
only legal-tender—is money in the eye of the
,'• law and common sense, no matter who puts "it
forth. Full provision is made in the Constitu
tion of the United States for the States as well
as the United States for all difficulties that may,
• •
arise financially in each and every one of
them. 'Each and all of them as well as the
United States, under the reserved rights clauSe
of the Constitution, could borrow money on its
own credit. Provision is made for the, punish-'
went of counterfeiting the securities and cur
rent coin of the United States. It was a right
expressly reserved; the Stites did and could
' emit obligations or securities . for money bor
rowed, but not bills of credit, which 'was ex
pressly forbidden, as ,well as everything else in
the nature.of curret.:;2.y. Ilairthis rule been
rigidly, observed since 1187,more than twice the
•
amount of our national debt would have been
saved, had not thatplain clause of the constitu-
Jim:l-been ridden down by partieS interested in
• :•",trriell speculations as we have witnessed in the
la.te New York gold, gambling panic. The

• Who are bound: to pay the debt of two •
United. States debt?.: You certainly will have
to, pay your full share of it: If, then,: you
payers have to• pay'the debt, it is your debt.
Whci is engaged in paying thiS debt as best he,
Bout Well, the Secretary of the
Treasury. Then Mr. Bout Well is your dgent.
Well, the agent is butthe servant of his priul
Opal. Then, yott tax•ilayers are paying your
lVirfiebti.—,— •
Now, some people grumble, and 'say lfr.
Boutwell, your• agent,is shaving yenr debts,
both on the soft side and on the hard •
thatis, he shaves the currency and • he shaves
the gold bonds, and,that he is the only per Son;
anityour agent at that, who pays 'nothing for
gold (when others have to pay from 30 to 40
per cent. for it), and they do say that he sells,
this'very gold lie gets at par for 3c, to 40 per
cent. adOnce for currency ; that is, your, agent
does this—andniore than all that: ; he bays gold
bonds, and gi*-only one hundred and sixteen
dollars of this currency, worth only eighty-six
dollars in gold, for a inquired dollar gold bond,
that pays six per cent. per annum, gold interest.
Well,now,what your agent does, you are doing ;
and really 'I think you:are right, and so is your,
agent. I' think it a most fortunate circum
stance for you that I!resident, Grant selected
Mr. Boutwell as the right man in the right
place to pay your debt.
Mr. Boutwell is MasSachusetts to the core—
and he is booked up in the history of that be
nighted land, both public and private, but es
pecially its financial history ; and he has been
down to Cape Cod once—and I am not certain
bat he is the very individual who qttestioned the
Cape Cod man, who was gathering ii a few of
the boulders into piles, that a little grass might
get a chance to grow up between those left,
for his lambs to feed on. He asked - him :
"My friend; how do you make , out to live
here ?" "Whyoir, we live by skinning stran
gers." "Btu suppose - - no - strangers ; come
along?" "Why, sir, then we live by skinning
one another." Now you have it. *lr. Bout
well saw the point and moved off quickly, and
never forgot the Cape Cod system. If we
skin one another and thrive under it as we are
doing, what right have the foreign bondhold
ers to grumble, as long we treat all alike ? Let
the ship drive. If Congress backs up Mr.
Boutwell he •will keep her off the breakers.
How will lie do it?
He will sell your gold at the highest market
price for currency, and buy up your bonds
at the lowest currency rates as long as gold
affords a'inargin of profit, which is a fair busi
ness transaction. If gold appreciates in the
market he will get the more currency for it,
and can thus pay more for your bonds, the
one advance measuring the other. If gold de
preciates it brings the currency the nearer to
the par of specie, whidh is just what _ you all
desire. If bonds appreciate to such 'an extent
that holders will not part with them, and hold
on for a higher price, we are just so much the
nearer specie payments. If no one will sell
bonds for currency at a margin of profit to
your agent, Mr. Boutwell can call in the five
twenties—that iS ; _such bonds as have run five
years—in the numerical order of their issue,and
pay them in, coin ; or, if the bondholders are
anxious for it, your
; agent might - ask Congress
to authorize him exchange them for thirty
year bond's at per cent., or a forty-year bunid
at 4 per cent., which the bondholders wily be
very glad to accept, rather than lose so splendid
an investment. I here assert as a leading and
sound axiom that all commercial business
must, of ft, necessity, gravitate towards the
standard of commercial value (that is, gold and
silver) throughout the world. The odds are
largely hi favor of this result, against all others,
and more so • iii the United' States than else
where, from its immeasurable capacity of
producing every clement constituting national
prosperity, its immense domain, the genius of
its people, and the free scope for the' exercise
-if the highest, talent man is supposed to nri—
o re g ies aen man is suppi o possess.
We have already outstripped all other nations
in the rapidity of our development of national
wealth and grandeur ; the future is certain.
We have but a single shackle on our ener
gies—our debt. We have made a. wise begin
ning, to flay it ; let us persist firmly in our ap
propriations to the Sinldng Fund—little or much,
the more the better—for. the more strength we
show the more confidence we inspire others
with in our abilities to meet all obligations,
public or private, squarely; and just so much
the sooner will we find the measure of all values
lloWing in upon us; vii., gold and silver; or,
in other words, a resumption of specie pay

may be a most unlovely creature, and in fact

and telling silly secrets with less truth than in
genuity in them ' the greatest fun'imaginable,
and all We 'greater because of the spice of re
bellion and perversity with which it' is dashed.
Or she may be a Mere' TitTinboy, regretting her

schoolboy - slang r and aping' schoolboy
habit's ; ridiculing her :sisters; and dis
liked by her comanions, while thinking girl
hoodis a bore and °manhood a mistake in ex
act prOportion to ' feminality. Or she may
be a budding miss shy and awkward, with no
harm in her and as little good—a mere sketch
of a girl, without a- line as yet Made out or the
dominant color so; much as indicated. Some
times she is awkward in another way, being
studious and preoccupied, when she passes for
odd and original, and is partly feared, partly
disliked, and wholly misunderstood by her own
young world ; and sometimes - she has a, cynical
contempt for men and beauty and pleasure
and dress, when she will make her
self' ridiculous by her revolt against
all the canons of good taste and convention
ality. But, after her flebut in tattered garments
of severe colors and ungainly cut, she will
probaly 'end her days as a frantic fashionable,
the salvation of whose soul depends on the
faultless propriety of her wardrobe. The ec
centricities : ,of ...Sweet . Seventeen not unfre
quently revenge themselves by an exactly op
posite mature extravagance. But though there
are-enough and to spare of girls according to
all these patterns, the Sweet Seventeen of one's
affections - Ss none of them.. And yet she Ls not
always the same, but has her different presenta
tions, her various facets, which give her variety
of charm and beauty. - _ -
The best and loveliest thing about' Sweet
Seventeen is her , sense of duty—for the most
part a new, sense. She no longer needs' to be
told what-to, do ; she has not to be kept to. the
. tasks by the fear of authority or the submis
sive grace of obedience ; but of her own flied
will,. because understanding that it is her duty,
and that duty is a holier thing, than self-will,
she conscientiously does what she doeS not
like to do,. and 'cheerfully gives up • what, she:
desiris without being driven or exhorted. She
has generally before - her mind some
favorite heroine in a . girl's novel
who goes through . much painful disci
pline and comes out all the . brighter for
it in the end ; and she makes noble resolves of
living as worthily as her model. She comforts
4 ,4„, s a i ,a r t oor . w ab_p , sq., , wes
lion T oujellow
and Tennyson and the Christian Year,:and
learns long extracts from Evangeline and the
Idyls; poetry having an almost magical in
fluence over her, nearly as powerful as the
Sunday sermons she listens to so devoutly:and
tries so patiently to understand. For the !first
' time she wakes to a dim sense 'of her own' in
dividuality, and confesses to herself that she
has a life of her own apart from and extrane
ous to her mere family membership.
She is not only the sister or the
daughter living with and for her parents or
her brothers and sisters, 'but she is also her
self, with a future of her
. own not to be shared
with them, not. to be touched by them. And
she begins to have vague' dreanis of this future
and its hero—dreams that are as much of fairy
land as if they were of . the young prince
coming over the sea in a golden-boat to ifind
-the-prilicess-in-n-tower—of-brass-waiting-for
him. Quite impersonal, and with a hero only
in 'the clouds, yet nevertheless these dreams
are suggested by the special circumstances of '
her life, by her favorite books cif' the style of
society in which she has been placed. The
young prince is either a . beautiful
!and high-souled . clergymannot unlike
the young vicar or the new curate, but infl-;
nitely more b - cautiful—an apostle - in the - stand=
lug • collar and single-breasted coat of,: the
nineteenth century ; or he is an artist in a
velvet blouse and with flowing hair, living;in a
world of beauty such as no Philistine ' can
imagine; or he_ is a gallant sailor, with blue
eyes and a loose necktie, looking up to heaven
in a gale, and thinking of his mother and sisters
at home, and of the one still more beloved,"
When he certainly ought to be thinking of tarry
ropes and coarse sailcloth; orhe is a magnificent
young officer heading his Men at a charge,
and looking supreinely Well gotnp and hand
some. This is the kind of Mar she dreams
of when she dreams at all ; whiCh is not often:
The reality of her mature life 'is perhaps a .
stolid country squire, or a prosaic city mer
chant without the thinnest thread of • romance
in his composition; while her own life, which
:was to be such a ;lovely poem of graceful useL
fulneiss and heroic beauty, sinks into the pro
saic routine of housekeeping and- society, the
sigh after the vanished Ideal growing fainter
and fainter as the weight of time and fact
grows heavier.,
~ Married men are all sacred to Sweet: Seven
teen when she is a good girl; so are engaged
men. For the matter of that,•she believes that
Igithing could induce her to marry either, a
, ,
widower or one who had been already en
gaged, as nothing could' induce ben, to 'mar4
any,man under tiveTeet eleven', or with a inuti'
nose Or'sandy 'whiskers., Sweet Seventeen has
inigeneral the most,profound aversion,to boys.;
To be Sure she may have her favorites4-very
few and very seldom ; tuit she mostly 'thinks
them stupid or, conceite.d, and resents'•
itripartially° either their~ awkward 'at
tentions to herself, or their as
sumptions of superiority. An ab
normally clever boy—the Poet-Laureate or
George Stephenson of his' generation—is her
detestation, because he is odd and unlike every.'
one else;'and the one that she likes best
among them is the school hero, who is first in
the sport .and, takes all the prizes, and who
gods thrOugh life loved by every one, and
never famous. For her .several brdthers she
has a range of entirely difi'erent 'feelings. Her
younger schoolboy brothers she regards as the
torments of "her her existence, whose 'unkempt
hair; dirty boots, and rude manners. are her
special crosses, to be borne with, patience,
tempered by an active endeavor after reform.
But the more advanced, and those who are older
than herself, are her loves, for whom she has'n
enthusiastid admiration, and whose future
she believes' in as something specially brilliant
and successful. If only slightly' older OF
younger than herself, she, impresses theta pow
erfully 'with the sentiment of her superiority,
and patronizes them—kindly enough, but she
makes them feel the ineffable Supremacy of her
sex, and how that she, by virtue of her woman
hoed, is a gorified creature beside them—an
Ariel sto their Canal). Now, too, she begins
to speak to her' mother on more'equal terms ;
to .criticise her dress, and •to make her under
stand that she considers her old-fashioned and
inclined to, be , dowdy. She ties her bonnet
-4 • v :n: • • her cap, smartens up
hero d dress, and contielli.„ her to buy , a new.
one; mid 'while =considering Mier immeasurably
ancient, likes her to-look nice, and thinks her, in
her o,WnWay,:beatutiful. Sometimes she opposes
and quairels,with her, if the mother has less tact
than arbitrariness.. - But this isnot her natural
state ;: for one of the characteristics of Sweet
SeVenteedis her love for her mother, and the
'-need-she-feels-terharie-of—herbetterounseL.
and guidance; so that if she comes . into oppo
sition with her le:is - M.lly through extreme pain,
and the bitter.teachingof, tyranny.. and ;in~us
tice.
This is just the- age, indeed, When the
mother's influence is everything to a - girb i and
when a silly, an unjust, or an unprincipled wo.
man is the very ruin of her life. But with a
low or evil-natured mother we seldom see a
Sweet Seventeen worth the trouble of writing
about ; which.shews at least one thing—the
importanee.of the :womanly influence at such a
time, and how perhaps so much that we blame
hi our modern girls lies to the - account of their
mothers.
Great tact is required with Sweet Seventeen
in such society as is allowed her; care to bring
her out without obtrudinci her on the world, or
making her forward and e consequential, and
without attracting too much attention to her.
She is no longer a child to be shut away in the
'nursery, but she is not yet entitled to the place
and consideration of a member of society.,
And yet it would be cruel to debar her wholly
from all that is going 'on in the Ifonse. To be
sure there is the governess, as well as mamma,
to look • alter her manners, and to give her
rope enough and not too much ; 'but
by the time a girl is' seventeen
a governess has ceased to be the autocrat ex
officio, and she obeys her or not' according to
their respective strengths. Still, the governess
or mamma is for the most part at her elbow;
and Sweet Seventeen, if well brought up, is
left very little to her own guidance, and sees
the world only through halkopeued doors.
Girls of this age are often, wonderfully sad,
and full of a kind of wondering despair at the
sin and . misery they .are learning to know.
They take up extreme views in religion, and
talk largely'on the nothingness of pleasure and
the emptiness of the world; and many fair
young creatures- whom their elders,
laden 'with sorrowful experience, think
.full of hope And joy, • are. ready to
give up the pleasure of life, and to lay
clown life itself, for very disgust of that of
which they know nothing. 'They delight in
sorrowful hunentations and sentimental regrets
put into rhyme, and one of the funniest things
in the World is to see a girl dancing with the
merriest in the evening, and to hear her talking
broken-heafteduess in the morning. It is
Merely au example of the old proverb about
the meeting of extremes; vacuity leading to
the sabre results as experience. But, however
she takes this unlmown life, it is nlways in an
unreal and romantic aspect. Some of more
robust mind delight in the bolder stories of
Greece and Rome, and wish they had
played a part in the sensational heroism of
those,grand old times; while others go to Ven
ice, and make pictures 'for themselvet out of
the gliding gondolas and the mysterious Coun
cil of Ten, the lovely ladies with grim old
fathers and grim brothers acting as insufficient
gaelersTandfhe handsome-cavaliers serenading—
them in the moonlight. That is their idea of
love. They have no perception of anything
warmer. It is all romance, and poetry, and
tender glances from afar, and long and patient
wooing under difliculties and a little danger,
• with scarce a word spoken,,and nothing more
expreAsive than a flower furtively given,
or a fleeting pressure of the finger tips.
They 'know nothing else and expect nothing
else. Their 'cherry is without stone, their bird
without bone, their orange without. rind, as in
the old song; and they imagine a love as un
real as all the rest. 'When throWn into actuali
-ti-e-s-Ttinneu left—motherless, and
the eldest girl of perhaps a large family, with a
father to comfort and a young brood to see
after—Sweet Seventeen is often very beautiful'
in her degree, and rises grandly to : her position.
Sometimes the burden of her responsibilities is
much for her tender shoulders, and she is
overweighted, and fails. Sometimes too she
is tyrannical and selfish in such a po
sition, and uses her power ill, and sometimes
she is careless and good-humored, when they
all scramble up together, through confusion,
dirt and disorder, till l / 4 the close time is over and
they scatter • themselves abroad. Sometimes
she is a martyr, and makes herself and every
one else uncomfortable by the perpetual de
monstration ()flier martyrdom, and how she
considers herself sacrificed and' put upon. - In
deed she is not infrequently a martyr from
.other causes_than heavy dirties being fond - of
adopting unworkable views which cannot be
got to run in her family groove anyhow.'.
she falls upon this rock she is in her glory;
youth being marvelously proud of thiS kind
of - Voluntary crucifixion,' and thinking
itself especially ill-used because it must
he made conformable, and is- prevented from
making itself ridiculous. But Sweet Seven
_teenAs_intolerant or all moral differences.
What she bolds to be right is the absolute, the
One sole and only just law ; and she thinks it
tampering with sin to alloW that any one else'
bas an equal right with herself to a contrary
Opinion. But on the whole she is a pleaSant,
loveable, interesting creature; and one's
greatest regret.about her is that she Is so often
in the hands of unsuitable guides, and that her
powers and noble , impulses get so stunted and
shadowed by the commonplace training which
is her general lot, and the low aims of life
which are the only ones held out to her.—
