into these questions .to day, but- I . beg
leave to refer to and quote an opinion,
which I - put - npon record on the 24th of
Stay, 1865, in the following words t
" By overthrowing the specto baste and denting tho
country with a depreciated paper currency at a time
when the Governtnent was tbd chief purchaser and
sonserner of the prodneui of the country. it raised pd b
cos on itself and unnecessarily augmented the public
debt, which will.be a burden °poll the industry of the
eountry. Did the People grant to their Representatives
the power to do this thing t They granted the power
topirniagia metalle currency, but in What part of tho
flandamental law did they grant the power to take it
sway t If it be true that war cannot ho carried on
Moat paper money, ft is not true that war requires
paper money to be made a legal tender. Our Govern-
Meat tutsoarrled on several wars, foreign and domes
tic; and r commerce that has penetrated every part of
the globe noon • paper cnrrency, State and Federal,
lassfetp rOnpd specie basis, without making a dollar
of that paper currencys legal tender. Where, then, is
the graund_ for the assumption, that there acts - of Con
gress vivre demanded by the exigencies of our civil
Altar t . /lad Congress borrowed gold and silver enough
at imrrent rates to maintain the specie basis of our
paper currency the debt of the country had been less
than half what it is to day, and no effort of the Govern
ment to subdue the rebellion word.. have lacked energy
R r attest. -
These, Mr. Chairman, were my convic
tions three years ago,' and subsequent
observation and reflect have tended to
confirm them. And it gave me great
pleasure to see how strongly corroborative
of these viewsare the observations of Sec
retary McCulloch in hie late report espec
ially on page 15. He there says in terms
that the" financial evils under which the
century hats been suffering for some years
pant, to say nothing of the dangers which
Mom °Pin thefeiture ars in a great degree
be - traced to the direct issues by the
Government, of an unconvertible currency
with - the legal attributes of money."
. .When the necessities of the hour were
so strongly insisted on in 1862 the evils
and dangers to which our minister of
finance alludes ought not to have, been
forgotten. ' A really prudent statesman
ship would not bare overlooked them,
nor have underrated the evil consequently
of impairing theobligations of contracts,
of inflating prices, of stimulating rash
speonlations ,and lavish expenditures, and
inducing high taxation; All these are
demoralizing agencies and forces, and they
haiteled to loss of credit, Onerous debt,
thelnest daring frauds upon the revenue,
a genera derangement of the business of
the' leoittitry, and a - debasement of the
moral sence of the people. ' Such are some
of the consequences of substituting prin
ted rags for • the constitutional currency,
that " idol of the Democratic heart." silver
and gold, which are the measures of value
throughout the civilized world,and which
was our standard from the adoption of
the Constitution of 1787 until overthrown
bi the act of Congress of 1862.
My next thought is, that irwe would
repair the mistakes of .the past and get
back to specie payments we roust curtail
the expenses of the government. And
the first and most obvious reform would
be to abandon that crazy policy which,
with grim facetiousness, we call recon
struction. Here are ten States, some of
them older than any of us, all of them ful
ly organized with legislative, executive
and judicial departments after the model
ofs'i the republican States of our Federal
Union, known at all times by the same
names and boundaries they have to day,
except Virginia, whom we have carved in
twain against her consent, what recon
struction do they need ? If the proposi
tion was to restore the Old Dominion to
her fair proportions, reconstruction would
so far be ictelligible; but as it does not
mean this, what does it mean ? These
States, according to the doctrine of the
Declaration of Independence, which cer
tain gentlemen are fond of misquoting,
were "free and in - dependent States," an
originally had "full power to levy war,
conclud peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and to do all other acts and
things which independent States may of
right do." Such States may confederate,
and they did confederate. Such States
might form a more perfect union, and
they did so ender the Constitution of, the
United States. That instrument contem
plated a permanent and irrepealable Un
ion, because it did not anticipate any in
fractions or violations of its provisions.—
_Bat it so happened that it was so viola
ted, and then those ten States, consider
ing that a bargain broken on one side,
was broken on all sides, repealed their
acts of accession to the Federal Union
and passed ordinances of secession. That,
brought on' war which resulted in coin
pcflitig repeal their ordinances of
secession, whieh had the effect of restor
ing their acts of accession. Fer it is a
ru'e ofihe common law that when a stat
ate which repeals a prior statute is itself
repealed' the prior statute is,revived. Be
side-s; every department of the Federal
Government treated the ordinances of se
cession as null and void. Ordinances and
statutes which are null and void, and
whi.h are repealed in form by the power
that passed them, are as if they, had never
been passed. They impaired not the vital.
ity and integrity of the States. What the
war overthrew was the Southern Confed
4:racy, not the Sotitheru States.
Now . , 'through all this process of secess
ion, formation of the 'southern confedera
cy, and *war, these States were alive and
acting 08 Stdtes, with the same form of
government they adopted from the first.
Qur armies had indeed prereun them and
had suspended the civilftinctions of some
oftheir officers, and the 'President Wisely
considered that, as be was the Command
er-in-Chief, it was his duty at the close of
thi:war to so withdraw his army es to
seethose Stites on their legs,again and
resti3ie them to their normal condition.—
Mahe was, accomplishin'g peacefully and
natiiiilly *ben:some evil genius whisper

and ittraightwaylegislators set about ha
penciling the President and enacting a se
rieirtif hariband vindictive measures that
cotild'OnV•be carried' out by a standing
sulky wad could result in nothing but the
domination '
of the taegrif over the white
race. And theso destructive measures are
what are cited, by.a great abuse of fan.
reconstruction. Upon the plain
'raiment of bisitoriCal &eta which I have
made iLis appatentthtt readmission. •,
these fully-constructed States into the lin
ion, at the close of the war, would not on.
ly have cost, us nothing, but Atrould - have•
saved us a large and unnecessary eXpendi•
ture, besides bringing into' productive
contribution to our commerce ono of the
most fertile' regions of the whole country.
Under the 111-staried measures to which I
have al'uded the President tells us in his
message that the payments at, the Treasu
ry on account of the service of the War
Department from January 1 to October
29, 1867, a period of ten months, amount
ed to the amazing sum of 9100,807,0001
Although all of this sum was-not expend
ed in keeping the South down under the
militnry 'beer, the greater part of it was,
for the President immediately adds, 'The
expenses of the military establishment, as
well as the numbers of the army, are now
three times as great as they bad ever
been in tide of peace."
Military expenses and numbers three
times as great as 'ever before in time of
peace. Why? Why this waste? Is not
this a time of peace? Have not the reb
els grounded the arms of their rebellion ?
Why are a, hundred millions of the peo
ple's money throWn away upon the army
when public debt and taxes are weighing
labor down to the earth? That "recon
struction" may have free course and be
glorified. This is 'the whole cause and rea
son of this reckless expenditure. And by
many an infallible token it is now appa
rent that the whole philosophy of recon
struction is to force negro-suffrage upon
the Southern States as an entering wedge
with which . to drive it home upon all the
States. Let the country understand,
therefore, that one 'moored millions of
their money go annually to setting up the
negro to rule over white men. I say this
is wrong and °ugh:yip be stopped. Bond
holders and bankers had better see to it
that this ciiminal waste
. be stopped, or
their wealth may to ;n to ashes.
But this is not all the negro is costing
OR. We have a Freedman's Bureau as
part of the furniture of "reconstruction."
And that we may see to what objects our
money is appropriatd through that ma
chine, I take from the last report of the
Secretary of War ad interim the following
items :
For schools and school buildings.
For subsistence stores,
For transportation of refugees, freedmen,
. teachers. and agents, 22;754 63
For salaries of agents, clerks, 4k.c. 521,421 44
For medical department, 831,000 21
For quarters and fuel, 1515,029 G 4
Forclothing, 116,688 80
For printing, postage. And other main
gencics, in 1,120 86
There are three and a halfroillions more
of money thrown away upon the negro.
The Secretary says the freedmen, as a
people, are making rapid progress in edu
cation, in - mechanic arts, and in all bran
ches of industry ; aid surely they ought
to be, for no white men were ever so car
ed for by this Government or any other.

ise he holds
Sir, my constituents build their. own
school houses and educate their own chil
dren. They get annually a small allow
ancesout of the State treasury to aid the
work of education, but they never got a
dollar from the Federal Government for
such a purpose. I commend to their no
tice• the above annual expenditure of
$500,000 for the education of negro chil
dren. Now, sir, I complain not of the
education hildren, white or black. On
the contrary; I rejoice when any 'lnman
intellect gains a single fay or added illu
mination, but; I pretest againSt the Feder
al Government engaging in this work of
educating neroes]at thee - xpense of white .
men. Let the parents ofeolored children
do as the parents of white children—la
bor to educate their offspring. If we had
admitted the southern States, directly the
war ended, they might by this time have
been able to lend a helping hand to pa
rents in this noble work of education; but
we have so worried and persecuted them
with our military reconstruction that theY
have been unable to attend to any,domes
tic interests.
Mr. Chairman, this Government was
not instituted for any of the purposes
which the Freedmen s Bureau is pursu
ing. It is misuse and abuse of our pow
ers; it is an insult to the white race of the
country; it. is intolerable despotism. Again
I warn bondholders and banlmrs not to
perpetuate this 4iiti'age 'by their votes.
If we were out of debt, and taxation were
light, it would by a gross perversion of
public funds, this expenditure on the
standing army and , the Freedmen's Bu
reau, but, ip our actual circumstances it is
madness.
Let no one suppose, however, that
these large expenditures are , even a faint
reflection of all that_ reconstruction has
cost, ns. Besides the ;-hundreds of mill
ions already wasted in that work, we have
so deranged the relation •of capital and
labor in the South that, southern planters
Zre forced to turn farmers, and instead of
growing cotton to be manufactured in
northern looms or sent abroad in nor
thern ships to pay our foreign.debts they
betake themselves to manufacturing and
to the cultivation of cereals. Thus we
have destroyed our ,feat market for nor
thurn manufactures and agricultural pro
ducts. .Tice injurious consequences of
thi l3 folly. are but just beginning to be
felt, but before ire get through• the sea of
troubles that eneompass us we shall find
we have paid more dearly for our whis
tle than ever whistle was paid for before.
New England, largely profited by the
war, can afford to rest awhile upon her
accumulated riches; but the auspension of

New England operatives, and our coal and

_in that

quarter.
It has been said that wheneoer.man 'at
tempts to do anything great he begins by
building a fire. 'The pure anthracite of
the great coal fields of Pennsylvania is his
best fuel. 'Whether ships and, steam
boats are to be propelled; cotton, wool, or
paper manufactured ; iron wrought into
the thousand forms in which it is made to

tation sustained; or any other 'great , and

wanted. But to mine, prepare; and trans- .

large oittlay
,of money which• depend's for

suits of the country.. Whatever depress

this regard. - Every, mill and, manufacto

coal. We aro so completely members one
of another, the ligaments .of trade hold
distant communities in such, intimate and
sympathetic union, that—
Tenth or ten thoutc.iudtly 'breaks the, chatualtko."
Nor will the West fail to reap bitter
fruits from reconstruction. Hitherto pa
per mor.ey has kept up the price of agri
cultural products though it, has, kept ufi
also the price of all the farmer has had
to buy, but to. a great, extent the depres
sion of manufacturing ,labor in the , eas
tern States injures the markets of wes
tern agricultural products in the same
way it touches our coal trade. The great
mischief, however, which reconstruction
is doing to the western farmer is that it
is „destroying his southern market and
raising up rival_ farmers among the grow
ers of cottou,.riee and tobacco.
Now, sir, all this loss and suffering in
the various sections of the country, past,
present, or future, are chargeable to that
unfriendly and unwise legislation that,
treats southern States as conquered prow
inces, that keeps them out, of the Union,
that threatens confiscation, that taunts
and wounds southern sensibilities, that
forces the negro into relations and re
sponsibilities for which he is unfitted, that
disfranchises free white American citizens.
Such legislation breaks up the relations
which God and nature established be
tween men, dislocates the joints of socie•
ty, and cramps and cripples the whole
body politic. No arithmetic can com
pute the cost of it, no prescience can fore
cast all its evil consequences.
The importance to us in a financial view
of a settled condition of affairs in the
southern States cannot be overrated. The
vast capacities of that fertile region are
all needed to pay our debt and reduce our
taxes, and if the people could be permit
ted to settle their internal political affairs,
and to regulate their industry without
interference from us its contributions to
the national wealth would soon become
what they were before the war. In 1859
the whole export trade of the country
was $278,392,080, of which the produc
tion furnished by the southern States
amounted to $188,693,496.
1553,915 79
1,460,328 28
$3,1597,397 rs
And even for the year 1867, notwith
standing all ( t.he embarrassments we have
imposed upon the southern industry, the
exports of its products—including nor
thern products shipped from Baltimore
and New Orleans—amounted to sixty nine
per cent. of our whole export, trade. It' a
liberal deduction' were made for northern
products shipped from those ports south
ern productions furnished for the year
1867 full one half of the exports of the
country.
I have obtained from the bureau ofsta
tistics a table_of the .exports •of cotton
from the United States for thepast twelve

cial questions of the day.

See, sir, how quickly the war brought
down the production of .cotton from 1,-
767,686,338 pounds in 1860, valued at
$191,800,555„ to less than 400,000,000
pounds in 1861, producing less than
*35,000,000. And observe how, in 1886,
the first year after the war, tlt produc
tion went up again to more than 650,000,-
000, pounds, a crop which, though great.
ly less in bulk than that of 1860, sold for
more:money; in consequence of the high
'price to which cotton had 'advanced du
ring•the war- In 1867, though there was
' increase in quantity over the production
of 1866, it sold for less money, bemuse
the price had declined in the Liverpool
market, which is the great cotton market
of the word.
I am assured on the best authority that
the cotton crops of HUI and 1867 have
not quit cost, and that every northern
capitalist who has invested in cotton plan
tations has suffered disappointment and
loss. This has resulted from the disor
ganized condition of labor in the South,
from the high .rates of interest for money,
equal in some instances to three and four
per cent. a month, from the cotton tax,
and from the protective tariff. From
these causes, most of which belong to re•
construction, we have managed to render
-worthless the great staple which that re
gion -is, so - willing and ready to produce.
We Imp-down its production to the low-

the oblivion that shall be eternal. When
that day of truth telling comes the disgui
ses of the hour, and that have served so
good a partisan purpose in the dreary
years of war and reconstruction, will be
torn off and rent into atoms. The people,
no longer blinded by pretenses of extes
sive loyalty and patriotism, will see that
the war, fought by the soldiers for the
honest purpose of restoring the old time
Union, was overruled by the politicians to
prevent that. restoration, to perpetuate di
vision, estrangement, and ill will, and that
reconstruction means nothing .more or
lesS than negro suffrage. Let the bond
holders and the officers of the sixteen
hundred and fifty national banks be
prompt tolearn these truths. These high
ly respectable and powerful classes of
moneyed men have, for the most part,
hitherto, thrown their votes and influence
in favor of the devotees of negro suffrage.
Will they continue to do so? Will the
tinsel of epaulettes, or the lighter metal
of loyal speeches still attract them in the
sante direction ? Then, sir, they may
write " lehabod" upon their - bonds and
tLe wails of their banks.
Mr. Chairman, I have not time to day
to day to discuss negro suffrage. I mean
to take an early opportunity to express
my views on that subject. sug
gested the line of policy which I believe
would heal the wounds and restore the
prosperity of the country, I conclude by
saying that the constituents whom I rep.
resent, as loyal men to all the true inter
ests and glories of the country as the sun
in the heavens shines upon, are opposed
to all schemes of repudiation, for repudia
tion would be a stain which they would
feel worse than a wound. They demand
restoration of the ten excluded States as
white States and not particolored. They
demand a repeal of the cotton tax and of
all laws that deprive us of the immense
profits we derived in former days from
that great staple. They want no restora
tion of slavery, which is constitutionally
impossible, apd ,certainly have no
thoughts of superadding the rebel debt to
our own, which they think is large enough
now, but they want to live in union with
the white people of the South, to obliter
ate as fast as possible the bitter memories
of fraternal strife, and to be coworkers
with them in redeeming the credit of the
Government by paying all its debts in
gold and.silver coin and developing the
great.resources of our magnificent coun
try. All legal temier laws that substitute
paper for gold, and all reconstruction
laws, so called, that, sacrifice the. industri ,
al interests,of the country to negro. suf

I leave negro, suffrage and.all other domes-.

The radical majority in Congress seem
to have no care for the people, no desire
to benefit the country. The restoration
of practical union, harmony and pros
perity is no part of their programme; on
the contrary, the permanent continuation
of discord is their evident aim. To this
end the whole tenor of their proceedings )
points to the annihilation of free golern•

military despotism, and the forcing of
negro suffrage upon the peop'e withont,
their approval and against their solemn
protest.
