The principle Of this law covers broad
y and widely all The principles contain.
ed 10 Tho measure ! recommend.
1t may be- SAID that the law Of 1898,
by its Terms. was only loan Of reven-
ues OF the nalon 10 the States True,
such IS the language o! The law, but am
sure there was not an indiVIdunl in Ell
Iher House oi Congress, nor was there
one Of sound mind in the nation, who
believed Tor aD instant that the States
would Dot use, or would return, one dol
iar oil The entire amount But admit,
II distribution, under the gulse Of loan,
is loan of money under the name Of
desposile with the States; that fact es-
iabHshes the only principle which con.
tend for. II Congress has the power 10
loan It's money 10 the States when they
are but little 10 want oil it, would not
that concession establish its power 10
loan It's credit 10 the States when they
are greatly 10 want Of IN | but ask for
the loan Of its credit, and propose thai it
shall be indemniied by the public do
main Congress loaned lis money with
40 collateral pledge from the States.
lfltIs said that the loan was OF money
in The Treasury, aud not Of money ac-
cruing, MAINTAIN it is distinction with.
out a difference, aud The principle 10
precisely the same. II Congress eau
for any one purpose apply revenues col.
Iected. it can Tor the same purpose apply
those 10 be collected. THIS principle
has been settled.
Al the extra session OF the last Con.
gress law was passed to divide among
all the States the revenues TO be derived
from the public lands, and nearly all tho
States received tho same. The law was
suspended The next session, and a lew Of
the STATES refused, tor that reason, and
from the smalness OF the amount, 10
receive their distribuive proportio0.-
Had the law continued, or the amount
been greater no State in the Union would
have refused lis quola.
These facts, and those contained in
my first Two letters, render all further
in, estlgalIon as 10 the power and ability
Of Cong ress to pass The measure OF relief
| recommend unnecessary. But 10 re.
cur to The law OF dePosIIe, or distribution
OF 1886.
The States conformed to what they
were led TO believe was the new policy
OF the Government, and, in anticipation
ofils continued aid, laid down plane Of
railroads aOd canals, aud both or ell par
ties rvaIled each other 10 projecting
Recommendation in the belief that
they would deveIop the resources and
advance tn prosperity ofthe States.
THIS rivalry existed in most OF the slstes
with every party, and the Legislatures
finally had recourse 10 their credit. All
parties were willing. il not anxious, to
negotiate loans at home or abroad

General Emory, auo Mr.. Peabody were
