the establishment Of such Resumption
Fund, provided the rate OF accumulation
be made reasonably sufficient, the cur
rency of the country would steadily ap-
preciate towards par value. because,
when the people and the business com.
munity are assured that there is spe-
cial fund steadily accommodating
for the redemption of the cur
rency notes OF the country, this
assurance of itself will establish a fixed
faith in the currency, and in its re-
deemability, among all sorts and condi-
tions of men, such as 1t now has not,
and can not have until some specific
act of legislation, looking to resumption
by the accumulation of the specie
means, shall be enacted. An act, like
the Sherman act, simply declaring that,
on given date, we will resume, gives
no such assurance; and by its illusory
promises weakens, instead of strength
ening, the public confidence in the cur
rency.
Were such Resumption Fund estab-
lished, it would follow as a matter Of
course, that the currency Of the country
would appreciate towards par value
precisely in proportion as that fund
should increase in amount. And this
would necessarily be SO gradual as to
work no mischievous disturbance in
commercial values, to the detriment of
the business of the country. The details
of this plan, when promulgated, may not
strike us so fayorably as the mere out
line, which is all there is now youchsafed
unto US. But, from the present aspect
of things, we are inclined to regard the
proposition most favorably.
