CREED OF THE JOURNAL OF
COMMERCE.
We believe publishing all the new
at the earliest possible moment, ant
stating all matters truly, whatever ma
be The consequences to politicians.
we believe in the largest liberty; or il
other words, that each citizen should b.
free to think, speak and act as he pleases
provided only that he does not interfert
with the equal liberty Of every othe
citizen.
We believe that mems religious opin
ions will be most nearly correct wher
they are left TO investigate freely anc
make up their opinions for themselves
We believe that that Government is
mosill kelly to be a good one, which is
most entirely in the hands of the people,
and which nterferes least with personal
liberty.
We believe that liberty is as desirable
in business as in religion or politics, and
that all interference on the part of Gov
eminent for the purpose of directing the
business of the citizens is injurious.
We believe that the powers the Gen
eral Government should be confined 10
the letter Of the Constitution.
We believe that as 10 Currency, the
General Government has done all which
the Constitution contemplated, or expe-
dency requires, when it has coinedmon
ey and established the value thereof,
and regulated the value Of foreign coin.
When the National Bank was in exist
ence we believed it expedient to main
tain the system as it was, rather than
encounter the horrros ofbreakng it down
but now that the system is broken down,
we believe it inexpedent torebuild it.
We believe that Congress should pass
bankrupt act, giving TO debtors the
power to surrender all their estates, and
thereupon be discharged from their debts,
and giving 10 creditors the powe. to
compel such surrendering in case a debt
or suffers an undisputed claim to remain
dishonored and unsatisfed for more than
three months, and that banks, first and
foremost, should be subject to the prOVis-
ions ofsuch law.
We believe that the operation ofsuch
law, with the absence ofail other control
from Government, would, in the most
ehectual method which can be devised.
secure sound currency throughout the
country, and that free competition am ong
merchants, brokers, and bankers, would
be the b,st regulator of exchanges.
We believe that the overwhelming re-
WILSON'S which have so often visited the
business affairs of this country, have
been greatly increased in their violence
by The efforts which have been made to
regulate business and the currency, by
Interference.
