rather •the loss of the citizen was great.
But the act of Congress of Drarch 3d, 1864,
authoring the issue of $200,000,000 of bonds,
called the 10-40's, specially provides for
their payment in coin. You Will observe
that the bonds issued when the "green
backs" were at the lowest figure, are ex
pressly made payab'e in coin. Does not
this show that the United States intended
to preclude any doubt as to how and in
what currency the bonds should be paid?"
If Congress, in violation of its solemn
engagement not to augment the volume of
greenbacks. - should proceed to cancel all
the bonds with currency, the inflation
would be enormous. Let us be definite.
There are now in circulation:
T 7. u. ;slays
Fractional Currency
Yank Note,
BM
This is the aggregate Of unconvertible
- -
currency now in use,enhancingprices. The
public debt bearing interest was officially
staled August 1, 1868, as follows:
Bearing Coin.lntereA
Bearing Currency Interest
Matured Lk la
ECM
From which deduct,
Gold In Treasury
Bank Notes
Total
LOving 41,840,771,%1,51
By which sum the currency would be in
creased. This would augment the volume
of unconvertible paper money three-fold.
If this inflation should send up prices
ratably to the inflation already experienced,
the'percentages added to cost would amount
each year to more than the entire national
debt. But there is a point beyond which
inflation will not be endured, but end in
utter collapse. It is probable that under
such an inflation as has' been described, the
currency would be as worthless a? that of
the Confederacy during the last year of the
- war, and would.be sold by the bushel as
waste pd-per.
V. EFFECT UPON WORKINGMEN.
. Labor is the last commodity to be aug
rhented in price by currency inflation, and
neyer rises in consequence of inflation pro
portionately to, other things. Rent, food,
clothing, furniture---all articles entering into
the, consumption of individuals or families—
have gone up during the existing supremo
scy of irredeemable promises in greater
ratio than wages in all the departments of
productive industry. It always has been
so:
Upon what ground, then, of pure reason
or actual experience can 'it be assumed that
an immense fresh inflation will evolve- dif
ferent results ? Such an assumption is
wholly destitute of foundation. What has
been, will be.
VI. EFFECT UPON THE BANKS
As the National Banks are bottomed upon
the bondsi the withdrawal and cincellation
of them would necessarily wind up those
institutions. In some respects the existing .
banking system possesses excellences supe
rior to those of any other system heretofore
devised. The breaking up of- this system
would exert a disastrous influence upon bu
siness arrangements throughout the coun
try; compelling the substitution of new
channels and instrinnentalities, and involv
ing direst risks and uncertainties:
We are aware it is urged that the substi
tution of legal tenders for bank notes would
create no financial disturbance; and this
, might prove true provided the proposed in
crease of legal tenders should be limited to
the • amount requisite to that end. But
such a limitation is incompatible with the
cancellation of the bonds with greenbacks.
That contemplates the extinction of the
banks for all purposes whatever, and an in
crease of unconvertible paper beyond prece
dent.
13at there is another aspect of the case,
which must be considered. These banks
are largely creditors of the government, at
practically a low rate of interest. They
hold of
Six percept. bonds..
Five per cent. bonds

which the Government pays for a loan of
140,000,000—a little less than three-fourths
of one per cent. It would cost nearly as
much to print the amount of treenbackii
siecessery to cancel the bonds held by thel
banks.
VII. RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY.
MENTS.
When, under the prefisure of extraordi
nary circumstances specie payments have
been suspended by the government, -the
banks, and the people, the prime duty of
each and all is to get out of that abnormal
and unsound condition at the earliest practi
cable moment. Considerations of economy
or convenience cannot justify the refusal or
omission to pay debts plainly contracted;
nor can the substitution of one form of
promise of payment for another—much less
the substitution of a lower form of promise
for a higher one-Ve regarded as actual pay
ment. For a government and people to
sit supinely down, acquiescing in a sus
pension of payment, or using what activity
they have in qrganizing irredeemability into
.a permanent system, ig in violation of the
dictates of common honesty as well as of
old4imed Democracy.
Specie payments could easily have been
resumed two, years ago, and been maintain
ed.- The condition of the country conspired
with true statesmanship and mercantile
probity, to render a return to, specie
easy of accomplishment and heneficial in
results to all classes and interests. If the
ease has since been made worse, and gold.
Ikas,advtmced, it is mainly ,owing to the
violence and persistency with which a new
and unbounded deluge of irredeemable
promises to pay has been advocated.
-It is stated above that of legal tender
notes there are $380,000,000. Bo many of
there have been or will be destroyed that ! it
is safe to estimate roughly the sum to be Ire
deemed at $350,000,000. Of gold there is
in the country $383,488,412; $50,000,-
000 in circulaticin in California and
other gold producing - States; $83, 409 9-
917 in the National Treasury; and
the residue either hoarded or held as mer
chandise. There ; are also considerable
amounts of silver coin; more than enough
to take the place of the fractional curren
cy. If, therefore, the government curren
cy should be funded, specie would natural- .
ly flow into the channe:s of circulation,
making the nominal amount the same, and
greatly improving' the character of bank
notes, by causing them to be convertible
into coin at the pleasure of the holders:
31. ) gq.818.37
ix)
If the banks should be constrained to
curtail their circulation, that would happen
in obedience to financial laws which are as
immutable as the laws regulating any other
department of Sublunary affairs.
In order to apprehend the question of the
resumption of specie payments in its true
light, it is needful to bear in mind that a
strong probability that the government
would resolve to pay the bonds in green
backs would cause large amounts of them
to be returned from Europe, where one
third of them are held, to be sold at such
rates as they would bring. The proceeds
would be exported in coin, takint at least
half that is now held by-our people, and in
definitely postponing resumption. The
business men of this country will be slow
to invoke an evil of this character.
AuousTls,lB6B, Mr. SPINNER, TreasuLer
of the United States, published a letter rn
response to a gentleman of Boston who had
demanded the payment of a greenback in
gold, according to the natural and legal
import of its terms. This letter is official,
and demonstrates that the Treasury is fully
prepared on its own part to return to specie
payments, thus settling at once and forever
the whole controversy as to what the bonds
are payable in, provided only that Congress
will repeal the laws now existing fo,rbidding
the funding or cancellation of the green
backs. But he hesitates to advise such re
peal because he fears many of the National
banks are managed by incompetent per
sons. Tlds excuse is inadmissible. Not a
few of the banks have never done a legiti
mate business,, and the sooner Buell are
wound up the better. Men who understand
the business are ready to take up what
capital they vacate.- This difficulty has to
be met, at some point, and may as well be
confronted !and overcome now as at a dis
tant period)i

VIII. WHY RESUMPTION IS RE
SISTED. •
When the process of inflation began, and
so long as it continued, traders of all
grades found it pleasant and apparently
profitable to do business one rising market..
It did not require much forethought or skill
to seem to get rich when goods could be
steadily sold to-day at an advance on the
cost of yesterday. The trick consisted in
so investing these seeming gains that when
the inflation should subside there would be
no shrinkage in the value of assets on hand.
A hard problem that, which many have at
tempted to solve,' and bdt few succeeded in
doing.
But the unprecedented gains, so far as
they were real, were made at the expense of
large sections of the , community. ; Those
who lived on fixed incomes were sorely
pressed; while those who wrought for wages
were deeply perplexed how to make the
weekly pay defray the increased and increas
ing cost of living. Those who had made
moderate savings, and investing in bond
and mortgage, had retired from business,
found half their means swept away. This
cannot last for ever. A law of Compensa
tion runs , through all business transactions.
By this law trade gravitates to the solid
ground of specie. Compute how far it was
from 100 up to 280, and you may bemire it is
just as far down from 280 to 100. Nor is
there any way of getting doWn but by sell
ing on a falling market. AS well might it
have been thought practicable to construct a
railway from the top of the Alleghenies at
Gallitzen to the Ohio at Pittsburgh, without
a grade, as to come down from 280 to 100
without foss. The thing cannot be done,
and business men may as well, apprehend
the fact first as last.) Two years of valua
ble time have been lost already, while busi
ness men stood by the stream shivering and
fearing to plunge in. Why waste ten years
or even one year more ?
To laboring men, of all grades, a prompt
return to specie yayments would be of in
calculable, advantage. The prides of all
commodities they require would then bear a
definite and natural proportion to the dollar
received as wages; many of the differences
now existing between 'Capital and Labor,
and which chafe and irritate both, would be
satisfactorily adjusted; and an era of sta
bility and certainty would be entered upon
by all.

IX. DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION
A time was when the Democratic leaders
e
declared vehemently for specie as the ordi
nary circulating medium. They, were sus
picious and intolerant of paper even when
convertible into money upon demand. For
many years here in Pennsyliania they re
fused to Incorporate new hanks or to extend
the charters of the old ones. "Hard mon
ey" was their demand. They depicted in
gfowing terms the advent of an age when
each laboring man should should carry a
silken purse, through the interstices of
which "golden mint drops" should glisten.
"Bank rags," or "paper promises to pay,"
they poured ineffable scorn upon. Now,
they are become the champions not only of
"paper money," but of such money upon a
bisis of absolute unconvertibility into coin.
Their scheme implies that specie for a long
but iiideflnite period shall not be used as
money, but as an article of meichandise to
liquidate balances in foreign commerce.
Be sure, they talk about one currency for
bond-holders and all other people; but why
insist that this one currency shall be irre
deemable paper? Why not demanff gold,
or paper convertible into gold, at the pleas
ure of the holders? This is the Republi
can scheme; gold for the bond-holder; gold
for the bill-holder; gold for the capitalist,
PITTEBURGIf GAZETTE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBIR 4, 1968.
SPECIE
the manufacturer, the mechanic, the farmer,
the laborer, the lawyer, the doctor, and the
priest; for all equally; irredeemable paper
for none.
X. WHO ARE THE BOND-HOLDERS
The Democratic journals and orators
almo'st uniformly write and speak of bond
holders as opulent and exacting capitalistsi
whom it would be a sort of wild and rough
equity to deprive of a part of their demand.
The fact is that aside from the National
Banks, much the larger part of the bonds
held in this country are in the hands of
persona of moderate means or, in trust for
the use of such. There are four millions
of individual bond-holders among our citi
zens; there are •no such number of capital
ists. Men of small means have generally
invested their scanty savings in the bonds;
executors and administrators hold them in
trust for widows and orphans; savings in
stitutions hold them in trust for their deposi
tors. In these ways the larger part held in
the United States, outside the National
Banks, have been absorbed. Capitalists
can do better with their money than to
draw six . per cent. interest upon it; and
hence are not bond-holders to a large ex
tent. •
Mr. JAY COOKE, who had charge of the
sales of bonds, says:
"Out of 3,000,000, subscribers to our vari
ous public loans, over nine-tenths are of the
class called •the people. The West took
32,000,000 of the *830,000,000 7-30 loans,
and, I doubt not, holds a large portion of it
now,
and this is as large a proportion as
could be expected from a new and enter
prising region .where money_ commandS
higher rates than at the seaboard. Ohio
alone took over $90,000,000, and Illinois
over *70,000,000. The West was also a
large taker of the 5-20 and other loans. I
can substatiate these facts, for I have taken
the trouble to analyze each day's subscrip
tions with the above result:"
The bonds held in Europe are owned hy
substantially the same classesas here. Capi
talists can ordinarily do better with their
moneys than to loan at such rates of inter
_
est as governments are willing to pay.
The Government of the United States has
uniformly and properly held that it would
not respond in damages to foreign creditors
of any one of the States, or of corporations
created by State or Federal authority. It
cannot avoid responding to representations
from foreign governments if it shall, on its
own account, attempt to defraud their citi
zens. Nor will foreign governments,
either separately or in combination, hesitate
to demand reparation from any palpable
wrong inflicted upon bond-holders whose
rights they are bound to protect.
CONCLUSION.
We have implicit faith in the American
people. Whatever unscrupitlous politicians
may propose, hoping by appeals to cupidity,
or passion, nr prejudice, to gain sinister ad
vantages, a large majority of the Will
remain unmoved and unc4mplying,. Not
awed by what European governments
might do in the event of partial or complete
repudiation, but actuated"by a genuine sense
of honor—impelled by a profound sense of
justice—they will insist that • the govern
ment fulfill its engagements, without equivo
cation or subtlety of interpretation, in the
terms and spirit ,in which they were con
tracted—that is, that the bonds and the green
backs shall alike be paid in-gold."

ir'MEETING OF SOLDIEItS.
To all Honorably Discharged Soldiers
con itaDEs: At an infor , Mal gathering of a few
soldiers, tot-politicians or partizans. the question
was raised as to bow solgiers would probably vote
in the ;ipproachini.T."election. Those assembled,
though in times past divided in political sentiment,
proved unanimous In support of Gen. GitANT• It
VMS determined to Issue an Address toour comrades,
calling a meeting of all who.deslre the election of
G nANT. with a view to concert of action.
This concluion was arrived at without consulta
tion' within } ~olitto:Ln or po!if 'cat Executive Coin
mittee, and uninfluenced by suggestions from such
parties.
When Trelison dared to attempt the overthrow of
our Government, and the disruption of the Union,
we waited not to consult our former political parties
or their leaders, or to see on which side our party
might range itself, but we all -Democrats, Repub
licans and Bell-Everetl, vied—sprang promptly to
arms to save our common country from its foes.
And now that ; the excitement of conflict is passed,
the clash of arms bushed, our musket; and accou
trements laid aside, amid the comforts,and quiet of
home we look back on our pArlotic course with
pride, mingled only with tears over the memory of
our fallen comrades; not one feeling of self reproach
mars the retrospect, although we recollect that
among our companions in arms were many who had
been our political opponents, and among our foes
were some whom we bad revered and followed as
political guides and oracles.
At the close of the war, 50MP who bad gone away
Democrats returnedltepublicans, but not a few came
home with the expectation 'of again acting and
voting with the once glorious Democratic party—
hoping and believing that it had seen and repented
Its errors. Some of us have. Indeed, since our re
turn, supported nominees of the Democratic party.
se4n7q
Proch.
i....Mohring.,
But now that another general election impends,
It is our duty again to choose sides—not as parti
zans, but as patriots. A true Union soldier can
never beconis a mere party man.
C. Fatibt
.Lumbo
Realizing this, the undersigned addregs this Call
to thoir fellow soldiers, not In behalf of a political
party or As nominees. but in behalf of the Peace
a,nd Prosperity of our Nation, which are again
threatened. Had the Democratic party spurned the
dictation of Wade Hampton and his co•traltors, and
offe'red ns a loyal, honest. Union piatf rm, with
Hancock or some other candidate having a good
war record, some of the undersigned would not
have jollied In issuing this call. But with such a
platform and ticket, championed by Wade Hamp
ton, Forrest, Semmes, Cobb, Tocnnbs, Wise and
other like traitors, we cannot hesitate as to our
course.. To say that the threats of these known en
emies of the Ut ion mean nothing Is worse than
folly; they proved themselves terribly In earnest
before, and we have every reason to believe that
they are equally so now.
Regarding this contest as a renewal of that we
helped to decide to the field, we have once more laid
aside all party feeling and have re-end.ited under
the: noble soldier who led us to victory after others
had failed. lien. GRANT Is not and cannot become
fl party man-he Is a true, earnest, faithful friend
of the Union. The Republican party cannot claim
him; though the nominee of that party.. he Is, in
fact, the candidate of the true
.Union men of the
Nation, Just as Horatio Seymour is the candidate
