Letter From Hon. Thomas Ewing
His Views in Relation to the Bond
...- Question.

To the Committee on Finance Of the Unitet
States Senate:
GENTLEMEN Understanding thai
you have the subjects of finance, the
National debt, and the currency now
under consideration in your honora
ble body, take the liberty of pre-
senting you some views which, though
they by no means attempt to compass
these most intricate questions, yet, as
they are founded on some reading
and much ca eful consideration, may
be found useful as suggestions in the
progress of your investigation.
1t has been, in my opinion, from
the first, exceedingly desirable to sep.
arate all questions of National debt,
and currency and finance from gener.
al politics, as there is great danger,
when these become party questions:
that heated controversy, which is al
ways more or less unreasoning and
unjust, should load the party domi.
nant for the time into acts subversive
of the public faith, or injurious to the
public welfare. Unfortunately, how.
ever, they have to some extent become
an element of party strife, and there
is danger that in the vicissituds of
events injustice may be done by one
party to the people-the tax-payers-
who are the debtor class, and as q
consequent reaction, at some future
day, perhaps not far distant, to the
creditor. If the creditor be adjudged
now mora than he is equitably and
fairly entitled to, that very fact il
likely to produce change of popular
feeling, and with it, of political pow
er, which will give him less. My
hope and desire il that all open ques-
tions now ripe for settlement may be
settled fairly and justly by the pres
ent Congress, even rs they would be
settled in q court of equity between
man and man, with this saving only |:
Whatever il distinctly written down
in the bond of the United States Is .
contract which must be strictly com.
piled with, although a. between tndi-
viduals it might be considered ~
tainted with exorbitant usury-for il
is not meet that sovereign should
set up that defense to mitigate the
hardship of his own contracts. nthe
case of our five-twenty bonds of 1862,
which are now payable--and this is
the proper time to consider these and
adjust them-we contracted to pay,
and have thus far paid six dollars n
year in gold, on q sum which, when
loaned to us, was equivalent in value
to less than $50 in gold; that !. to
say. we have for seven years paid on
the sos Of 1862, and are still pay
ing seven and half per cent interest
on the gold actually invested By the

to get ashore in the boat. Rober
Stevenson landed In the city Of New
York in 1877, with little more THAI
the garments he wore and one box o
South American minerals. He Dor
rowed some money, however, anC
made pedestrian tour Of New Yorh
and Canada. The reader may be Gu
rious to know what the great engin
eer thought of US.
"On entering New York." he
wrote, "we felt ourselves, quite al
home. All outward appearances o1
things and persons were indicative oi
English manners and customs |; bui
on closer Investigation We soon dis.
covered the characteristic impudence
of the people. In many cases it was
nothing short of disgusting"
This was q bad beginning; but
when he had got into the country, he
had a more cheerful view of things.
"We were much delighted with the
face of the country, which in every
direction is populated to great ex-
tent, and affords an attentive obser-
yer wonderful example Of human
industry"
What astonished him beyond
measure was, the hospitality of New
York farmers, many of whom, after
entertaining him and his friend for a
night, and giving them good break
fast in the morning, would harness
their horses, drive them ten or fifteen
miles on their wayand then positively
refuse to accept comp nsation.
Upon his return to New Castle, in
1928, he re-entered the iron works
established by his father, where he
carried out his fathers ideas for the
improvement of the locomotive. The
celebated Rocket engine, which took
the prize in 1928, snd became the
model of all subsequent locomotives,
was constructed under the hourly su-
perintendence of Robert. The sue
cess of the Rocket gave impetus to the
railroad system, and made the fortune
of both the Stevensons.
Robert became the great railroad
engineer of Europe. The first of the
long railroads of England was that
between London and Birmingham,
which are a hundred miles apart
AS the engineer of this road, Robert
Stevenson may be said to have created
the art of constructing railroads. In
boring tunnel, the workmen came
upon an unexpected accumulation of
water. which long baffied their ut
most efforts. The directors in con-
sternation advised him to consult 9TH
er engineers.
,neaid he, 1.-THE time kas@nosll
come for that yet. / have decided
what to do. mean to pump the
water all out, and then drive the
tunnel under the dry sand. All I
ask is time and fair play. If can't |
get rid of it, Ill then think of going
20 other engineers for help"
He went to work. Bysfhe aid of
thirteen steam engines, two hundred |
horses and twelve hundred and fifty !
men, he pumped the water from the
hidden reservoir at the rate of eight
zen hundred gallons a minute, for
nine month Then the supply gave
out; the water was gone; and the tun-
lel was completed without difficulty.
He died in London in 1859 and
his remains were deposited in West
Minister Abbey.

LONDON, July l6--Midnight-In the
Commons to-eight the consideration of
the Irish Church bill was continued.
Gladstone approved the amendment
granting half million pounds for
private endowments made prior to 1916,
but moved to disagree to the provision
Of continuation of the Ulster grants.
Disraeli thought the proposal of the
Lords reasonable. Stafford Northcote
thought Gladstone's proposal would con-
vert the established church into an in.
voluntary missionary church. He asked,
as an act of Justice and expediency, that
globes should be left. Roundell Palmer
supported the Lords amendment grant
ing half million pounds for private
endowments, and agreed to the amend
ment containing the Ulster grants. 1t
was rejected by 245 to 240. The an.
nouncement was cheered from the Minis.
terial benches.
Mr.. Disraeli intimated that it was not
necessary for the House to divide on any
other amendment, except that postpon.
ing the disposition of surplus funds.
Mr.. Gladstone moved to disagree.
Mr.. Disraei supported the Lords am
endment. He thought the Government
plans were not matured and ought to be
left for future consideration.
Mr.. Bright said the distribution of the
surplus funds was a difficult matter
The Government had made minute in.
quiry as to suitable distribution Of
the income arising from the sur
plus funds. He had no interest
other than as a member of the House.
On the contrary, he accepted the new is
sues as beneficial to the Irish. Every
one acknowledged that the money was
the property of the Irish and ought to be
applied to the benefit of Ireland. This
plan was open to test the question. OBJ
lection to leave the question open would
only pave the way for future embarrass-
ment He appealed to the House rot to
put any obstacle in the way of the pas
sage of the bill. The country had con-
fded with the fullest sincerity in the
Governments desire to make Ireland an
integral part Of the kingdom and her con-
nection with England closer. The
amendment of the House of Lords was
then rejected by 2sO against 2l8. Great
cheers greeted the result.
