the construction of the road, and R. r. Commit

Hon. Mills Gardner on Re-
SumptiOn.


sumption.
Hon, Mills Gardner of Washing
ton c. H. Representative of the Sd
Congressional district, bas sent US a
copy Of bis speech on tie bill for the
Repeal of the Resumption Act,deliver-
ed in the House, Nov. 7. He takes
the ground that the redemption Of the
greenbacks in coin, on and after
Jan. 1st, 1879, as provided by the
Resumption act, would retire al
the greenbacks redeemed from cir
culation, and thus cause a sudden
contraction of the currency, which
would he disastrous to business.
On these grounds he iustifes his op-
position to the Resumption Act, and
his vote for its repeal.
It seems to us that Mr.. Gardner's
fears of a contraction of the curren-
cy being caused by the redemption
of greenbacks are groundless. Let
US suppose that on the 1st of Janu.
ary, 1879, we present a greenback
dollar at the I. S. treasury, and de-
mand and receive the specie for it
Does not the specie dollar at once
take the place of the greenback in
the circulating medium, and if so,
where, we ask, is the contraction so
much feared by Mr.. Gardner? The
act of redeeming the greenbacks is
merely substituting a dollar in specie
for dollar in paper, and hence the
volume of the currency would re-
main unchanged, unless it can be
shown that the specie would either
be boarded or sent abroad, neither
of which seems probable. But we
think there is another reason why
the redemption of the greenbacks
would not result in contraction.
Just as soon as it became manifest
that the Government was able to re-
deem its notes in coin, when present
ed, they would be worth as much
AZ rOin- and heinz far more convent
ent in the transaction Of business,
they would cease to be presented
for redemption, to any large extent,
and would remain in circulation. If
we estimate the amount of green
backs outstanding on tie 1st Of Jan
uary, 1879, at $50 millions, which is
about the amount now in circulation,
it is safe to assume that before 100
were presented for redemp
ton the public confidence in the abil-
ity of the Government to redeem its
notes would be so fully establish
ed, that they would cease to be pre-
sented for redemption to any large
amount. The people would not want
specie for them when they knew that
it could be had for the asking.
For these reasons we think Mr..
Gardu RS opposition to the Re
Act is not well founded.
We believe, on the contrary, that Re
at the time fixed by the
act is entirely practicable, even with
out any further legislation but it
will be brought about much more
easily if silver be remonetized, as It'll
no doubt will be. Let Congress
take no backward step by repeating
the Resumption act, or postpOning
the date of resumption, and we are
confident that the people will be
ready for it, and it will come about
by the time fixed without any iniuri-
Gus shock to the business interests
of the country.
