Objections 10 tho Funding Bill


From Saturdays " 7. Financial Chronicle.
We have 50 oFlen discussed the reasons
against the scheme, TINT It Is needless TO
do moro than refer to those which ard the
most promihCnt. And, first, there is IN
objection to disturbing the public debt at
all Just now. Atgrcat expense VIC have
funded our bonds IN the best manner we
could, and, forth saving Of u few millions
Of interest, II Is not worth our while to
throw tho finance and business Of tue
country into confusion by disintegrating
and reconstruCting the prOdigious mass Of
two thousand millions Of securities on
which rest, as on q secure foundation, the
vast complicated cdlfce Of tho banking
and monetary machinery Of the whole

Such are the main arguments relied on
by the friends and assailants Of tho reject
cd clause. And, as will be seen, many Of
them apply to other parts Of the bill with
equal force. Indeed, so strong Is the pop,
ullar opposition to the measure that there
isgreat doubt whether the House Of Rep
resentativeS will do much with It; and
but for Mr.. Boutwell's anxious efforts 10
force It through, the bill would perhaps
have been killed in the Senate. On many
accounts Il is to be regretted that VIC have
had 30 prOtractcd an agitation Of this
measure In Congress. Much Of tho de-
preston Of business and Of the uncertain.
" which paralyscs industrial enterprise,
has had It's origin in the pcrturbatlons due
to this cause. And no peCunlary advan-
tagcs TO the Treasury, which has ever
been claimed rs likely to result from the
bill, could compensate for the widespread
evils which indict themselves on the coun.
try during several months Of stagnant
trade.
