EXTRACT FROM Col. BENroN's SPEECH,
On the Bankrupl Bill.

Instead of all this-instead of active bust.
ness, fair prices, plenty Of specie, regular ex-
changes, and moderate interest-we have
stagnalion of business, reduced prices, specie
unknown in half the Union, exchanges de-
ranged, and interest enormous; and all this
the effect Of a plan among banks and poll
%t'cians to make pressure and distress for the
Presidential election IF 1910. Sir, all the
evils which we now experience, results from
the vicious part of our banks-the political
and gambling pa,t-which make suspensions
for their own benefit. and force or seduce
others into them. The present suspension
is for the present election, and rs such | fore
saw and foretold it a full year before it took
place in October, 1899: IN October, 1888,
foresaw and foretold it. In tha, month, and
on the 95th day of it, | wrote thus to a com
mittee of my felIow-citizens in st. Louis who
had invited me to a public dinner:
"Since the veto session of 1882, the politi.
cal part OF the banks, and their confederates,
have convulsed the country with alternate
expansions and contractIons Of the paper
currency to make the people cry out for a
national bank; and they are now preparing
for another convulsion of the same kind.
The suspension Of 1897 (which was a con.
trived piece Of business, and one of the OBJ
|jects of the distribution law was fully coun-
ted upon to restore the Federal party, and
its ,~utelary deity, the Bank Of the United
States, to full power; but it was made at the
wrong time. 1t was a master stroke, but
wrong tined. 1t should have been made in
the fourth, instead of the first. year Of Mr..
Van Buren's administration. 1t was prema-
ture. Its authors did their best to make it last
until the next Presidential election; but the
Democracy Of the Union, and the New York
banks, forced the resumption; and now there
is no alternative but to make a new suspen.
sion for 1910. 1t is a bad chance; but it is
the only chance. They are dead without it:
and, accordingly, all the preparations are

SATURDAY. JULY IL, 1910.

o. We invite the readers attention to the
extract we give to-day from Col. Benton's
late speech on the Bankrupt Bill. The wings
claim great credit for the prophecies of their
orators, Clay, Webster and others, in rela-
ton to the effect which the destruction Of
the old bank of the U. S. would have upon
the banks and business of the county,
Such predictions might have been made with
the perfect certainty of their fulflment.-
The great object of these leaders has been
to force 4 national bank upon the people in
despite Of their better Judgment, and by the
cries Of distress and hard times, to scourge
them into their measures. Public opinion
has been so frequently expressed against
such an institution, that appeals must be made
to the purses of the people, rather than TO
their reason and judgment. Nothing could
effect their object so well, and at the same
time gain their leaders credit for political sa-
gacity, as a suspension Of the banks. Hard
times-af fall in prices, and scarcity o money,
are the inevitable results Of such measures,
and the distress orators, would be supplied
with the means of imposing upon the people,
and the hope of driving the people into SUBJ
lection to the money power of the country.
But if any credit be due to these file lea
ders and distress orators, from the fact that
their predictions have been fulfilled in this
instance, we claim rs much for the senator
from Missouri. What he predicted in 1888,
is history in 1910.
The suspension by a political portion Of
the banks, and the non suspension by the
honest part, is now witnessed by the people
of America, and that too upon the eve Of a
Presidential election. We ask every man
who is not a slave to party, to look for a
moment at these things. Is not the coincr
dence of the cry of hard times and low pri-
ces, and an election for the Presidency We
nv r~emarkable' Is it not wonderful that we
never hear Of this cry except at such a cri-
sis, and that since 1882, there has been no
election of Importance that wing speechify-
ers and distress orators, have not raised the
cry? To what else can it be attributed
than a settled design Of the U. s. Bank of
Pennsylvania, and those in connection with
it, to whip the people into their measures,
and put into power a party willing and rea-
dy to form an alliance. offensive and defen.

to guard this currency, and to protect it from
every violation. The States are forbid to
coin gold and silver: they are not even al
lowed to make currency out Of the precious
metals. Uniformity Of value in that which
is the standard and measure of all values, was
deemed so essential to the whole Union, that
every State surrendered its right to the coin
ing power: it gave up its right to stamp gold
and silver, How absurd then TO suppose
that they can authorize a circulation Of de-
preciated paper! that they can create cor.
porations to emit base paper when they them.
selves cannot stamp pure gold that they
can authorize them to make this. paper a
forced tender in all cases when they them
selves can make nothing but gold and silver
a tender! that they can authorize them TO
annihilate all contracts when TIE States dare
not impair one! say nothing about the
power to charter banks to issue notes con-
vertible into specie at the will of the holder.
| say nothing on that head. for it is not in
volved in the present question. limit my
self TO what is before the Senate-the circula.
ton Of base, deprecated, inconvertible, and
spurious paper-and deny the right Of any
State to circulate such trash. or to authorize
any corporations, or individual, to do it
| Join issue with those who plead State rights
in defence Of such conduct, and deny the
authority of the State out and out. deny
the right, and affirm it to be the duty Of
Congress to arrest the proceedings. II is the
duty Of congress to arrest acirculation which
violates the Constitution, and annihilates the
currency Of which it is the guardian. The ap-
plication of the bankrupt remedy to bankrupt
banks, is the ready and easy way to effect
it. A day fixed for such a law to take ef
feet would be the day of resumption TO all
good banks, and the day Of extinction to all
bad ones. 1t would be the day on which we
could count upon the commencement Of an
adequate specie currency, and the cessation
Of all the evils with which the gambling and
political banks now afli let us.
The remedy is in the hands OF the people.
We have unveiled it to them. and it is for
them to apply il. When wearied with the
tyranny and oppression Of the criminal and
vicious part of the banks, they can apply the
remedy, and terminate a tyranny more obi
Gus and irresponsible than anv which history
has revealed to our view. For the present,
we have at least accomplished two great
purposes. We have INDICATED the Constitu-
tion from the supposiiion Of incompetency;
and we nave annihilated the Last remaining
pretext for a national bank. We ave shown
that our Constitution is not incompetent to
its higt, functions-that it is adequate to the
preservation of the true currency-and that
IL has no occasion to resort to a monster
bank to govern the banks of the Safes.

" The House of Representatives is still
engaged on the Sub treasury in committee Of
the whole. The wings are determined to
resist its passage at every step, while the
Democrats are resolved to carry it through.
They owe it to the country not to adjourn
until it is passed, and we hope they will ne
yer consent to leave Washington until the
Independent Treasury Bill becomes the law
of the land. The present congress was
elected with special reference to that mea-
sure, and it is in character with the course
of the wing party, to disregard the expressed
will of the people, and to place its judgment
and pleasure above the voice of the nation.
Having a majority in congress, the admins
tration is justly responsible for the measures
passed at this session, yet while all are viii
ling to admit this, nothing is left undone by
the opposition to clog the wheels of govern
ment, and to throw obstacles in the way Of
a successful issue of the measures proposed
by the President. To expect more from
those Of the leaders who resisted ~appropria-
tons for carrying or the late wal, would be
unreasonable. But from those who claim to
be the Simon Pures of Democracy, and who
are ever protesting obedience to the will Of
the people, such a course demonstrates their
true pretensions and real character. Their
creed is to carry out the voice Of the people,
so long as it comedies with their will and
their pleasure; but when it comes in conflict
with these, the will Of the majority is to be
disregarded. and in fact, IS not the Mill Of The
majority but of the office holders.
