The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1876-01-14
REPEAL THE RESUMPTION ACT.

A Republican Congress passed, and a
Republican President signed the act to force
the resumption of specie payments in 1879
After cursing the country with National
Banks, and an irredeemable currency, in the
midst of widespread financial distress and
ruin they sOlemnly declare that in three
years specie payments shall be resumed,
even if it bankrupts nine tenths of the peo-
pie. Mccullough, then Secretary of the
Treasury, in his report to Congress in Dec,
1866, said that specie payments could safely
be resumed July lst, 1868. We were not
able to resume then, nor can we do so now,
without infinite distress. Its impracticabil-
ity is shown by the fact that in few yeal
Sl,000,000,000 has left this country, and
largely to pay the interest on our bones 8
held abroad. We export now 100000 900
more than we receive, and forty-two per cent
OF the product of our mines goes to Europe
in bars. Under the operations of the re-
, sumption act distress is everywhere prevalent,
and yet wesare in its first stages.
Again, we would ask how we would re-
sumo specie payments with $lSO,000,O00, Of
specie aud S800000,0O0 of currency? 1t is
simply impossible. Resumption should be
our objective point, but in such manner
ald at such time as will not ruin the coun-
try.
Even with our present circulation it is al
most impossible for the debtor class to meet
their obligations, and combined capital is
exacting ruiaous rates of interest that no
: legitimate business can stand for any length
of time.
The most of the contracts now in exist
ence were made upon currency basis; and
to compel the debtor to pay in specie which
will have fabulous premiums in its essence
a violation of the contract.
The capitolists and monopolies alone can
profit by such a measure. They can aft 'lrd
to hoard their money, or call it in on shor
notice, and their debtor who has striven for

Sixteen years of Republican rule has
