WASHINGTON. January 16.
In the Senate, Sherman called up
the Buckingham hill. providing for a
return to specie payments, and adj
dressed the Senate upon it. He argued
that the resumption OF specie pay
merit was demanded by public faith,
public policy, and the spirit of III
laws. Individual hardship was not
sufficient reason for "a violation of
public faith, or Il disregard OF the gen
eral interest or policy of the whole
country. The effect of ~SIecie pay
mentS was greatly exaggerated as to
the nulG Der Of erSOnS whom 1t Will
iniure. Experience has shown that
deprecated money is most injurious
tn laborIng men. 1t produces a false
standard oi value, an effect which is
not noticed by Il laboring a or by
II trader or merchant. Even upon
current debt aud credit, the effect of
a specie standard will surely he a,-
rreciable, for nominal loss will be
discounted in advance. and be di-
vided. During the gradual apprecia-
ti,n of PAPER money, the greater
burden will fall upon debts running II
long lerioG of time. as upon corpora
ton bonds and mortgages. AS To
those in existence before the legal
tender act took effect, it is but light
that they lie paid in specie; while
those contracted since have been
issued in expectancy of specie pay
mentS before this time.
