said to be the only great Power that can and Will,
within a given period, pay the principal of its debt,
The unbridled liberty American politicians gips
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 alarin,
plays into the hands of " bears," and drives the
timid to sell at a loss. Senator SUMNER'S speed'
had a more damaging influence on American Sccurl-
ties than the nation could readily believe,andAincri-
can credit will not tend upwards inEuropc so looga°
" the waiting game" is played. A rise would Lace
followed on the news of the increasing revenue, dial
the measures of Secretary BourwELL to decrease the
debt had it not thus been effectually stopped. 't
financier in New York stated in a leading daily
paper some days before a fall in Europe of 5 Per
rent. on the National Bonds, that the action of the
Treasury would send them up on this side ten fict
cent., which would bring thaw to par in New York,
and the time would have 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
no chance whatever of such relief to American tar
payers. It entails then heavier taxation; a decrease
in the value of all American Securities, private 115
well as public; it checks the growing desire Of
investment in the United States ; and, worse than
all, it deters English emigration. Now on all thes!
points America chiefly suffers, for English credit i 9
too well established to be thus injured, and she
neither looks for nor requires the introduction Cf
capital to develope her industrial resources, nor for
immigrants. In a material way, then, America 19
the loser, and her loss is direct and instantaneous,
the cost of Senator SUMNER'S speech being already
estimated at millions sterling. There is yet a third
aspect of " the waiting game " which the RepubllG
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 se
bad against England that a heavy bill of thing.°
would probably be. awarded. When a eredy
tor finds he cannot get all he claims he tries to Pe':
quaint himself with the full amount he can get, n"a
~a
when satisfied nothing more will be forthconn
he takes that. By "the waiting game" America de".
clines to receive that only, England will give iu co.!'
c
yensation 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 1.1011
a-crAitor, waiting must so far be to AlEL.2rica's losaau3
to England's gain. To value the open question as ,
good ground foe a future quarrelwould be to place
Americ In ingoruity at a low ebb ; for a natl°,
can, whenever she pleases, p:ck a quarrel with an
o
other proud, haughty people. The Republic WI
could have the money the arbiters might 3111
judge, and the luxury of a war with England wlic.ll
the time suited her, and a "strain" nation puttiiigif
on the lowest grounds of sinanness, would ah°3
little astuteness in paying dearly for what coal I ljd
got for nothing. The length to which we d sirs
play the " waiting game" is till the present irrit'l
ILion has cooled, and not a moment longer.
