BOMBS AND GREENBACKS.--The proposition to
pay the Government bonds in currency is creating
some excitement. amongst the bondholders on
one side, and the people who pay the taxes on the
other side. If these bonds were made payab le in
gold. and contracted on gold basis then they
should be paid in gold; but they are not so ex-
pressed on their face and were not so contracted.
At the time the bonds were put into the market it
argued in their favor that they could be pur-
chased for curreney-that the interest was payable
in gold-and that when they matured, or were
paid by the Government, greeubacks would be
at par, and. therefore, the investment was good
one. That is about all there is Of the contract to
pay the principal in god. The interest is made
payable in gold, and should be so paid until the
bonds are redeemed. In June, 1864, the matter
was ventilated on the floor of Congress, when
Thaddeus Stevens gave settler to the question in
the following colloquy:
Mr. Wilson-Was not the statement inst now
made by the gentleman from Pennsylvania based
upon the payment Of these fye-twenties in geld?
Mr.. Stevens-Upon the payment Of the interest
in gold. There is no doubt that the interest is pay
able in gold.
Mr. Wllson-I speak of the principal. | under
stood the gentleman 10 say that there were now
about eight hundred million dollars of the public
debt payable in gold.
Mr. Steveas-No sir: the interest is pavable in
gold say that no man who is a lawyer-and
could not say that the Secretary of the Treasury
not q lawyer-who will carefully read the law can
possibly come TO any other conclusion than that
the principal OF these iye-twenty bonds is payable
IN currency. The law says expressly that the in
teieSt Is parable in money. The difference in the
terms employed Is distinct and definite as if ii
had been, IN so many words that one is payable in
COIN and the other in paper currency.
Unless the law expressly provides for the pay
ment of the principal of these bonds in gold every
greenbaok bears evidence that it is payable in cur
reucy. The back Of each bears the following assu-
rance:
This note is legal tender for all debts public and
private, except duties imports and interest on
the public 0ebt; and is receivable in payment oi
all loans made 10 the United States.
The indaceMent TO invest in these bonds was that
currency dollar, at the time worth forty or fifty
cents, woad draw in gold tie interest on dollar
until the principal was paid, ana the chances tina,
the currency might he at par when the bonds
should be paid. Anything farther than this, is
greatly to the advantage of the boadholder, and
IS fraud upon tax-payins people, that must
swamp any poltical party that advocates it There
is not the shadow OF repu5iaiioa in the payment e
the principal Of these bonds in currency.
