DRAINS UPON NATIONAL INDUSTRY.

GENTLEMEN: | thank you for the honor of
your invitation address the meeting at the Cooper In
stitute the Gath inst and regret that professional
engagements will not permit to comply with your
request. regret still to say that your friends
here have hope heahfu action by the present
Congress upon financial subjects and therefore not
at ali urgent for any action The debate has somewhat
toned down the imitation feeling but IL Is still controlling
In the House. If not in the Senate This Is not because
the members do know that all our troubles In bust
ness well the widespread Generalization and pollti-
cal corruption which afot the country are due to our
financial system OF which the fraud OF ire
they the deusive hope OF paliatng for the
lime the distress Of their people by It.
Within the last eight years the people have paid In
money than 900 in taxes on an Increased
wesn b such as improved lands buildings
stocks, DC, OF 1uctuatlng value. Nearly one-tnrd
part m o. But what the Collector takes Is far
from being all the people are made 10 pay by the
TsyenqS as axes in the last eight Years
on iron, they have been made TO pay more thsn
that more than three times much has been collected
for class VINO the masters OF the Government ana
control its operations than for public uses.
The effect s to take from the producing classes 81 per
cent of their earnings for the support OF Govern
nent and devote the balance TO enrich class and sup
ply il with the means OF perpeuating its power
the Government II is by tins great prostitution OF tnc
oyernment 10 the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the few at the
eynense of the many that the cream is SKINNED from
the fertile South and West TO faten ;he North and East
and that such crop OF mionares has grown up there
i'm the past decade while tobacco, cotton and grain
fields OF the South and West have been covered with
mortgages. -, -. lii,
II Is therefore not surprising that cry for relef
comes those regions aud that the people SHOULD de
mand cheap money imitation reputation, aud that
representatives should favor measures 70 tue our
present necessities while admitting them 70 De wrong
In principle All admit that specie payment essential
the material prosperity and to the moral tone OF te
country but as IT. Will now add 10 the ueDI OF leir
already overburdened constituency, they cannot go Tor
it, but want legislation to tighten these burdens. As
suredly the unjust burdens which the masters OF the
Government imposing upon these oppressed people
for individual benefit ought to be removed ana the
enormous taxation imposed tor the Use OF the Govern
men ought be reduced. These are the great drains
upon their industry Stop these, and their fertile SOIL
and Astounding energy will quickly renew healthful
prosperity and the cry for imitation and reputation Will
cease The currency OF the Constitution will be de
mapded and the habits OF economy and integrity pubic
aud private which that system carries with IT, w soon
follow. / remain truly yours, MONTGOMERY BLAIR
