PLAIN, SOUND, GOOD SENSE.

The following extracts from the speech of
Senator KING, Of Georgia, tells some whole
some truths which it will do no man harm to
read. "
"But we are told that the Government
and therefore only asserts right. This is
true, sir; but is it the part Of practical wisdom
to exert all the power we have, and assert all
the rights we claim Every man has right
to demand specie at all times for.every sale
he makes, and for every debt due him. But
suppose every body were TO do it, whilst
paper is the common currency, what would
become of the country
"Suppose all the merchants of single
city were to suddenly demand specie for all
dues from their customers for the sales made
and to be made, they would only assert right;
and yet what would he the result The
effect would be such upon their debtors and
dealers, that they would probably mob the
merchants out of the CITY. You propose that
the Government shall do that with the People
which people dare not do with each other.
Look at the conduct of the people towards
the banks ever since they have stopped pay
ment, and specie is at large premium; do
they assert their rights though they have
every inducement TO do SO! | will refer to
my own State as strong argument to dissi-
pate theoretical beauties by practical conse-
quences. There the banks are by law COM
PEELED TO pay 8 per cent, on refusal to pay
specie. They are good, and every bill-hold-
er could get his principal and 8 per cent. in
specie, if he were TO demand and insist on it.
No man Of capital could make SO good an in
vestment as to get a large sum in Augusta
bauk bills, make demand, and hold them
till the banks resume specie payments. Yet
nobody does this and why! Because they
are all friendly to banks : Not at all, sir,
II IS because they are frightened al Uiep Of
Tie consequences, and yield their own TO the
interests of the community. They know
that if specie is forced from the banks, the
banks will have to force it from the mer-
chants, and the merchant from the planters
and the great consumers; and, before the
matter wound up, its effects would be equal
TO the confiscation of one third Of the pro-
perry Of the country. The laborious and

industrious classes constitute the debtor class
which are the most numerous, and much the,
most needy. On this class the sacrifice
would ultimately fall. The benefits would
be confined to few creditors, capitalists and
money lenders. And the measure you pro-
pose (said Mr.. X J will operate precisely in
the manner have described, though perhaps
not TO the same extent. Ii will do TO talk
about and speak about here. and some people
may think well Of it. whilst they think il is
only going to put the merchants TO a little
trouble but when they find, from experience
that the merchants are their faefors, and the
operation falls upon them, they will be pre-
pared for more practical view of the sub
iect." ans

we comply with the request with great pleasure:

of those who have died from exposure or any other
cause except wounds, are excluded Certainly those
who have died from exposing themselves, when
their duty required il, are much entitled to PEN

In The year 1916, the capital of II 642, 4Oot was
increased 25 per cent out of the surplus profits and
the same rate of dividend continued upon the in

sent 5t. paidup capital, and 46t surplus profits.
In 1899 the dividends were at the rate Of per
cent. upon paid-up capital Of 1862 1901 Here
the shareholders received per cent upon the money

In 1907 The dividend was raised to 10 per cent up
on capital of 1862, 1901. of which the paid-up
capital was 1855, 2O0 This was after the rate Of
nearly Is per cent upon the money advanced by the
proprietors.
From 1916 to 1892, both inclusive, the dividend
was continued at 10 per cent upon the increased
capital of 1853 0O0l of which only 1855, 2OOl had
been advanced BY the proprieiors. This gave di-
vidend upon the money advanced at the rate Of 1874
