ALBANY, July Ex-senator FentOn ad-
dressed large audience at Tweedle Hall
on the national finances as they are at
present managed He,asked how could we
expect to return to specie payments. Cur
rency was one Of our most difficult pro-
blems. The administration was incapable |
of directing its relation. Upon it must
largely rest the responsibility Of a continued
unsOund monetary condition. 1t had had no
financial policy, except to collect the taxes
under the laws of Congress, beard gold
blockade in Wall street, and pay The debt
The men at the helm of the State neither
tell us what plan should be adopted nor
what principles should guide us. The
speaker then at length detailed the baneful
effects of asuperabundancy of paper money,
and pointed to history to show how |
much paper could be carried by certain
amount Of gold Zone dollar of specie in
the banks,' he said, ''fOr eN cry 50 paper in
circulation is a necessary condition for / !
public confidence and financial security |
but in. our case we have S. of paper for
every dollar of gold"
He declared that this whole matter re-
ating to the currency, from which springs
4 brood Of evils, is either imperfectly I'M :
lerstOOd by those invested with authority,
il it has been grossly neglected.
The credit given General Grant and bis
for paying so much of the
public debt belongs to the people, who,
through their Representatives in Congress,
uttered themselves to be taxed to raise the
money. He showed that during the ad-
Of Andrew johnson more was
aid than has been since. "The truth is"
e said, ''In the past no administration has O
zen equal to the present in the careless and
avish manner Of handling and using the !,
ublic money q
He closed with a reference to the manner :
D which the act providing for the new loan q
nd the Canceling of tive-twenties had been T
iolated. The government had suffered this Il
usiness TO be manipulated by a number of u
nancieTs and in a way which secured to :,
lem some 100000, and which disposed of q
My 5000, 100000 in bonds and at tie high ~
st rate of interest-fve per cent. The q
Deech was frequently applauded. -
