Some evil influence has shrunk the value |
of the real estate of the nation to condi.
ton where it cannot be sold, or mortgages
obtained on it for much more than one
half the amount that the same property
would have brought three years ago. This
dire calamity has been brought on our
country by the acts of the Government.
The first act took from the National mon
ey its power to pay interest on bonds and
duties on imports. The second act has
contracted the currency ofthe country I'm.
til it has shrunk the value Of property to
its present condition by destroying public
confidence; and that without shrinking
any Of the debts contracted IN its use.
lido most humbly hope that I shall be
able to show The fatal causes that have
been allowed to operate and bring this
wretchedness and ruin to the homes of
untold thousands of the men and the WON.
en- throughout our country.
Facts will show that it was the unwise
acts of our own Government that have al.
loved policy 10 prevail, more in the in
terest Of foreign governments than our
own.
1t was these unwise acts Of legislation
that brought discredit on our national
money, as have said, by Introducing in
to the law that created it that terrible
word except, which took from our legal
money its power to pay interest on bonds
and duties on imports.
The introduction of that little word ex
cept into the original law drew tears from
the eyes of Thaddeus Stevens when HI
looked down the current Of events ant
saw our bonds in the hands Of foreigner
who would be receiving gold interest OF
every hundred dollsrs Of bonds that cos
them but fifty or sixty dollars in gold.
But for the Introduction Of that wore
except into that original Jaw, our bond
would have been taken at par by our owl
people, and the interest would have beer
paid ut home in currency, instead Of benz
paid to foreigners in gold.
An additional calamity has beer
brought on our country by national pol
icy that has taken from the people thei
currency, the tools Of these trades, TIL
very life.blood of the traffic and commerce
of our country.
Facts show that in 1865 there was in til
hands of the people, as a currency, g
per head, and that at time of our great
est national prosperity.
