Fort HILL, Sept 9th, 1888.
Gentemen-l have been honosed by your note Of the
9th OF August inviting me to participate in dinner
10 be given 10 your Senators and the members Of your
delegation in Congress- who have coRcurred with them
on The great and agila.ing question of the day.
The great distance and my engagements compel me
reluctantly 10 decline your kind and faerng invitation

small magnitude, while they denounce 1t and ali who
support it, in the most unmeasuied and bitter terms, act
neither sincerely nor honestly. In whatever light it
may be viewed, it is question OF the first magnitude
even more in its political and moral bearings, than
its fiscal and commercialthe light in which II has been
principally regarded. l feel that hazard nothing in
asserting tina, the banking system, through its
ton with the Government, is efecting and if not
rested will effect, one of the greatest revolutions in
the political and moral condition of the world of which
history has left any record and let add, of the

and principaities, laws and constitutions II has al
ready acquired in our country an almost unlimited

of the community By granting Withholding avors;
by expanding contracting the currency fortunes are

Of payment spreads ruin and desolaon around, and

before believed themselves 10 be in independent,
afiuent circumstances.
No one who has observed the operations Of the last
90 years. doubt the truth of this picture, and that
the power as great as it now is, has not reached the
man so blind as not the debasing consequences,
which must follow morally and politically, by thus Gle
waiting the money above all other powers in the State,
and giving il such overwhelming control? Can it be
done without debasng that noble and Independent spirit
which created our free institutions, and without which
il is impossible 10 maintain them? Can il be done,
without spreading the land one oabsorbing spirit

the order of the moral world and bringing down in the
end, on the people who may have the folly and the
weakness TO permit It, unheard of calamilies:
TO guard against these, it is Clear that something
must be done to prevent mere private corporations from
exercising such unlimited control The currency Of
the country and through it, the fortunes of individuals
and the community. To effect this imagine 90
measure simple, efiectual, and practicable than

and reflection may point out, and the country saved
from unnumbered woes.
Permi, me in conclusion to offer the following sen,-

may be defeated al frs its final triumph il supported
