said to be the only great Potver that can and will,
within a given period, pay the principal of its debt.
The unbridled liberty American politicians givo
themselves so shocks the confidence of the world in
the wisdom of American statesmen that the credit
of the country improves but little, for every in-
crease is followed by some act which creates alarm,
plays into the hands of " bears," and drives the
timid to sell at a loss. Senator SUMNER'S speech
had a more damaging influence on American Securi-
ties than the nation could readily believe,andAmeri-
can credit will not tend upwards inEurope so longas
" the waiting game" is played. A rise would have
followed on the news of the increasing revenue, and
the measures of Secretary BOUTWELL to decrease the
debt had it not thus been effectually stopped. A
financier in New York stated in a leading daily
paper some days before a fall in Europe of 5 per
cent. on the National Bonds, that the action of the
Treasury would send them up on this side ten per
cent., whieli would bring theta to par in New York,
and the time would li tre arrived when long-dated
loans at a lower interest could be issued. He had
no notion what the effect would be of re-opening
this question, and, if it is to be kept open, there is
no chance whatever of such relief to American tax-
payers. It entails then heavier taxation; a decrease
in the value of all American Securities, private as
well as public; it checks the growing desire for
investment in the United States ; and, worse than
all, it deters English emigration. Now on all these

points America chiefly suffers, for English credit is
too well established to be thus injured, and she
neither looks for nor requires the introduction of
capital to develope her industrial resources, nor for
immigrants. In a material way, then, America is
the loser, and her loss is direct and instantaneous,
the cost of Senator SUMNEICS speech being already
estimated at millions sterling. There is yet a third
aspect of " the waiting game" which the Republic
ought not to overlook. Unless waiting is eventually
to lead to a settlement it is little less than idiotic
for America to play it, presuming the case to be so
bad against England that a heavy bill of damages
would probably be awarded. When a credi-
tor finds he cannot get all he claims he tries to ac-
quaint himself with the full amount he can get, and
when satisfied nothing more will be forthcoming
he takes that. By "the waiting game" America de-
clines to receive that only, England will give in corn'
pensation of the injury. So long as the Republic
waits, for that period the British gold will be in the
British pocket, and as a debtor can wait better than
a creditor, waiting must so far be to America's loss and
to England's gain. To value the open question as 3
good ground for a future quarrel would be to place
American ingenuity at a low ebb ; for a nation
can, whenever she pleases, pick a quarrel with an-
other proud, haughty people. The Republic then
could have the money the arbiters might ad-
judge, and the luxury of a war with England when
the time suited her, and a "smart" nation putting it
on the lowest grounds of smartness, would sho/
little astuteness in paying dearly for what could be
got for nothing. The length to which we desire to
play the " waiting game" is till the present irrita-
tion has cooled, and not a moment longer.
