A Old Finsncier's Opinion % the War
and its Monetary Coasequences.
John Thompson, in his last money Re-
porter, gives the following opinion Of
the war and it, effects upon the finances
Of the country:
The banks and capitalists Of the North
ern States are getting 90 much Of their
money into Government loans that, like
England, the national credit must be sus-
tanned. Since the troubles commenced
the banks have taken largely of every
United States loan, whether Of
treasury notes or ofstock, and we Judge
that 1t least one half of the bank CAPT
tai of this city is now absorbed by this
class Of securities. Private capital il
also running into the same assets most
rapidly thus bringing an influence in
favor Of . government, and in support
Of the sure and prompt payment Of in.
terest which nothing can overthrow.
Whether the rebellion is to cost two
or three hundred millions depends en-
tirely on the power of the slave States
TO hold out for one, two or three years
and it is, in fact, Of much less account
than is generally supposed, whether the
amount be two or three hundred mil
lions.
The aggregate valuation of real and
personal property in New York in 1850,
was 81, ago, 900, 900. The population of
the State of New York is four millions,
or one-fifth OF tho whole Of the free
States. We therefore assume that the
aggregate valuation Of the free States 10
81 900, 100000. Five per cent. on this
amount is three hundred and fifty mil
lions, sum larger than will cost, in any
event, to put secession where the devil
can never resurrect it.
Now, what business man-what
bauk-what farmer, even, will demur at
paying two and half mills per annum
tar, for ten successive years this will
pay the INTEREST," on all he is worth, to
" I'D VI .lO UvOslooLing ana ever-des-
troying agitation about slavery!
This is taking only the money view
Of the question, tits true. The lives that
are to be shortened-the widows, or
phans and cripples that are to be
sprinkled all over this great county
these should be taken into the account.
These, both the dead and the disconso-
late living, will be martyrs most worthy
our sympathy-monuments, dead or
alive, of the wickedness of rebellion
aud, as such, will, in the universal scale,
bring the balance on the right side Of
the account.
The fact four having large nation
al debt, if it is owned by our own peo-
pie, as it is in Great Britain, will, so far
from being . disadvantage to US, prove
q positive benefit to the whole country,
in that the unanimity Of the people and
banks in putting their means into Gov
eminent securities, identifies them with
the nationality Of the country, and also
becomes the means Of crashing out the
numerous second-class stock.jobbing
bon is which now food our markets and
ruin our savings banks, as the money Of
the country will find better employ
ment.
