PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
( Continued from outside)
should follow the wise precedents
established in 1789 and 1816, and
without further delay make provision
for the payment of our obligations at
as carly a period as may be practicable.
The fruits of their labors should be
enjoyed by. our eitizens, rather thun
. used to build up and Sustain moneyed
monopolies in” our own and other
ands.
Our. foreign debt is already compu-
t d by the Secretary of the Treasury
at eight hundred and fifty millions;
citizens of foreign countries receive in-
terest-upon a large portion of our secu-
rities;and American tax payers are
made to contribute large sams for their
support. The. idea that such a debt
is to become permanent should be at
a1 tintes discarded, a8 involving taxa-
tion too heavy tobe borne, aud pay-
ment once in every sixteen years, at
the ‘present - rate of intewest, of =u
amount equal to the original sum.
This last, if permitted to become per-
manent and increasing, must eventual
ly be gathered: into the hands of a
few, and enable them to exert a dan-
gerolis and controlling power in the af:
fairs of the Government. « The borrow-
ers would hecome gervants to the len-
ders—the lenders the masters of the
people. We now pride ourselves tpon
having given freadom to four willions
of the colored races; it will then be our
shame that forty: millions of people, by
their own toleration of usnrpation and
proflizacy; have suffered themselves to
become enslaved, and merely exchang-
ed slave owners for new taskmasters in
the shape of bondholders and tax gath-
erers. Besides, permanent debts per-
tain to monarchical governments, and,
tending ® monopolies, perpetuities,
and “class legislation, are potally irre-
concilable with free institutions. In
troduced into our republican system,
they would gradually but surely sap
“its foundations, eventually subvert our
governmental fabrie, and erect’ upon
its ruins a moneyed aristocracy. It is
our sacred duty to transmit unimpai
red to our posterity the blessings of Ii
-berty which were bequeathed to us by
the founders of the Republic, and by
our example teach those who are ta
follow us, carefully to avoid the dan,
gers which threaten a fr e and inde:
pendent people.
Various plans-have been proposed
for the payment of the public debt.
However they may have varied as to
the time and mode in which it should
be redeemed, there eins to be a gen-
eval Concurrence as to the propriety
and justness of a redfietion in the pres.
ent rate of interest.

“This fact is made apparent when we
consider that bondholders receive from
“the Treasury, upon each dollar they
own in government securities, six per
cent in gold, which is nearly or quite
sual to nine ‘per cent in eurrency;
that the bonds are then converted into
capital for the national banks, upon
which #hose institutions issue their
reiredation beating six per cent inter-
cst; and that they ate exempt from
taxation by the Govérmuent and the
States, and thereby enhanced two per
cent, in the hands of the holders. We
thus have an_ aggregate of seventeen
pet oent. which may be received upon
cach dollar by the owners of Govern
mou securities. A system that produ-
cas gn results is justly regarded ‘as
favoring a few at the expense of the
ore
=
the large profits which they have en-
joyed, would themselves be averse toa
gettlément’ of our indebtedness upon a
plan which would yield them a fair
remuneration, and at the same time be
just to the tax-payers of the nation.
Our national eredit ghonld le sacredly
~ ohserved; but in making provision for
our ereditors we should not forget what
is due tothe masses of the people. It
may be assumed that the holders of our
gecurities have alveady received upon
their bonds g {arger amount than their
original investment, measured by a
sold standard. Upon this statement
of facts it would seem but just and |
equitable that the six per cent. interest |
now paid by the Government should be |
applied to the reduction of the princi- |
pal in semiannual instalments, which |
in sixteen years and eight months |
would liquidate the entire national |
debt. Six per cent. in gold would: at
present rates be equal to nine per cent. |
in currency, and equivalent to the!
years. This, in connection with all
their investment, would afford to the
public creditors a fair and Jiberal com:
pensation for the use of their capital,
and with this they should be satisfied.
The lessons of the, past admonish the
lender that it isnot well to be overanx-
ious in exacting from the borrower
rigid compliance with tue letter of the
bond. :

taxatson annually consumes one hun-
would otherwise be used by our enter-
of thernation: - Our commerce, which
at one time suceessfully rivalled that of
the great maritime Powers, has rapidly
diminished, and our industrial interests
are in a depressed and languishing
condition. The dvelopement of our
the fertile fields of the South are becom
in gwaste for want of means to till them.
With “the release of capital, new life
wouldbe infused into the paralyzed
e1ergies of our people, and activity and
vigor imparted to every branch of ni-
dustry. Our people need encourage
ment in their efforts to recover from
the effects of the rebellion and of inju-
dicious legislation; and it should be
the aim of the Government to stimu-
late them by the prospect of an early
release frem the burdens which impede
their ‘prosperity. If we cannot take
the burdens from their shoulders, we
should at least manifest a willingness
to help to bear them.
In referring to the condition of the
circulating medium, I shall merely
my last annual message which relates
to that suhject.

Nor can it be controlled

regulate commerce and trade. The
circulating medium will ever irresisti-
bly flow to those points where it is in
createst demand. The law of demand
and supply is as unerring as that
which regulates: the tides, of the
eean ; and indeed currency, like the
tides, has its ebbs and flows thaoughout
he commercial world.
At the beginning of the rebellion the
| bank note circulation of the country
amounted to not much more than two
hundred millions of dollars; now the
circulation of National Bank notes and
those know as “legal tenders” is nearly
millions. While it is
urged Dy some that this amount should
be mereased, others contend that a de-
cided reduction is absolutely essential
to the best interests of the country. In
view of these diverse opinions, it may
be well to ascertain the real value of
our paper issues, when compared with
a metallic or convertible currency. For
this purpose, let us inquire how much
gold and silver could be purchased by
thé seven hundred millions of’ paper
mohey now in cireulation ? Proba-
bly not more than half the amount of
the latter—showing that when our pa-
per currency -i2 compared with gold
and silver, its commereial value is com-
pressed into three hundred and fifty
millions. This striking fact; makes it
the ohvious duty of the Government, as
early as may be, consistent with the
principles of sound political economy,
to take such measures as will enable
| the holder of its notes an | those of tiv
National banks to convert t
ont ‘loss, imto specie or its equivalent
A-reduction of our paper circulating
medium need not necessarily follow.
This, however, would depénd upen the
law of demand and supply, though it
should be herne in mind. that by ma-
king legaltender and bank notes con-
vertible into coin or its equivalent,
their present specie value in the ha
of their holders would be enhanced one
hundred per cent. :
Legislation for the accomplishment
of a result so desirable is demanded hy
the Iighest public considerations. The
Constitution contemplates that the
cireulating medium of the country
shall be nniform in quality and vai-
ue, Atl the time of the formation of
that instrument, the country had just
emerged from the War of the Revolu-
tion, and was suifering from the effects
of a redundant and worthless paper
currency. The sages of that peirod
were anxious to proteet their posterity

from the evils which they themselves |
had experienced. Hence, in providing |
a circulating medium, they conferred
Congress the power to coin money
and regulate the value theveof, at the
the same time porhibiting the States
from making anything but gold and
silver a tender in payment of debts,
The anomalous condition of our cur-
rency is in striking contrast with that

rency is one of the greatest political
evils, It undermines the virtues ne-
cessary for the support of the social
system, and encourages propensities
destructive of its happiness; it wars
against industry, frugality and econo-
my, and it fosters the evil spirits of
extravagance and speculation.” It has
been asserted “by one of our profound
and most gifted statesmen, that “of all
the contrivances for cheating the labor-
ing class of mankind, none has béen
more effectual than that which deludes
them with paper money. This is the
most effectual of inventions to fertil-
ize the rich man’s fields by the sweat of
the poorman’s brow. Ordinary tyran-
ny, oppression, excessive taxation—
these bear lightly on the happiness of

Land, third, gold and silver coin. By
| the operation of our present system of

when collected, is reserved only for
fone class of Government ereditors, who,
holding its bonds, semi-aunnally re-
ceive their interest in coin from the
National Treasury. There is no reason
which will be accepted as satisfactory
| by the people, why those who defend
| us on the land and protect us on the
| sea ; the pensioner upon the gratitude
| of the nation, bearing the sears and
wounds received while in its service;

| can only be accomplished by the resto-
| ration of the currency tu the standard
nation which may, if it has not already
done so, create a prejudice that may
and imperil the national credit.
The feasibility of making our cur-
al standard may be seen by reference

the Treasury $103,407,985 in coin; in
| circulation inthe Stutes on the Pacific
coast about $40,000,000, and a few
millions in the National and other
Banks—inu all less than $160,000,000.
Taking into consideration the specie in
produced since (1867, and we have
mors than 300,000,000 not accoun-
ted for by exportation or by the re-
turns of the Treasury, and therefore

hese are important facts and show
how completely the inferior currency
will supercede the better, forcing it
from circulation among the masses,
capital of foreign lands. They show
the neeessity of retiring our
money, that the return of gold and
silver to the avenues of trade may be
invited, and a demand created which
of circulation. Tt is unreasonable to
expect a return toa sound currency 80
long as the Government and banks by
continuing to issue irredeemable notes,
fill the channels of circulation with de-
preciated paper. Notwithstanding a
eight hundred and seventy-four mil-
lions of dollars, the people are now
strangers: to the currency which was
designed for their usc and benefit, and
ing the national device are seldom seen,
except when produced to gratify the
interest excited hy the novelty.
If depreciated paper is to be eontin-
ued as the permanent currency of the
country, and all our coin is to become
a mere article’ of traffic and specula-
tion, to the enhancement in price ofall
the people, it would be wise economy
to abolish our mints, thus savingghe
nation the care and expense incident to
such establishments, and let all om
precious ‘metals be exported in bullion.
The time has come, however, when the
government and national banksshould
be required to take the most efficient
steps and make all necessary arrange-
ments fora resumption of specie pay-
ments. Let specie payment once be
earnestly inaugurated by the Govern-
ment and banks, and the value of the
paper circu.ation would directly ap-
proximate a specie standard.
Specie payments having been re-
sumed by the Government and banks,
all notes or bills of paper issued by
either of a less denomination than
twenty dollars should by law be ex-
cluded from circulation, so that the
people may have the benefit and con-
venience of a gold and silver currency
which in all their business transactions
will be uniform in value at home and
abroad.
“Every man of property or industry,
every man who desires to preserve
what he honestly possesses, or to main-
tain what he can honestly earn, has a
direct interest in maintaining a safe
circulating medium—such a medium
| the mass of the community ‘compared
| with a fraudulent currency, and the
| robberies committed by depreciated
| paper. Our own history has recorded
| for our instruction enough, and more
| than enough of the demoralizing ten-
| ble oppression on the virtuous and
| well disposed of a degraded paper
currency authorized by law or in any
way countenanced by Government.”
[tis one of the most successful devices,
in times of peace or war, of expansions
or revulsions, to accomplish the trans-
fer of all the precions metals fromthe

THE MESSAGE.
We this week furnish the greater
portion of President Johnson's annu-
al message, to the exclusion of almost
all other matter. Itisa very impor-
tant document, and worthy the care-
ful study of our readers. The Presi

exposing the evils of the congressional
reconstruction and other measures, en-
acted by the ramp ini violation of the

lash of the President, and interrupted
the reading of the messagé by motions
that the reading be discontinued, &e.
