BAIRD.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSRl
WASHINGTON, April 21,-Mr. Henry Carey b arid,
Of Philadelphia, entertained the Banking and
Currency Committee for more than three hours to-
day, with an explanation of some of his startling
financial propositions.
He said that all the calamities that have come
upon the country since the war; and especially since
the financial crisis Of 1873 are due to the finan-
cial policy that has been pursued by the Govern
ment. The injury done the country, in his csima-
ton, by the contraction policy, has been greater
than all that inflicted by the war Of the re-
bellOn. He favOrs an immense initiation of
the currency lie would have an act passed ordering
an immediate issue of sufficient volume of green
backs to make the amount of currency outstanding
81 900. 0O00 900, and he would also provide for q
monthly issue which should be continued until the
volume of outstanding currency should reach
$1,000, 100000. When asked by member of the
committee how he would get this immense sum into
cTcuatonh he said that 1t would be of the easiest
things III the world In the first place he would
abolish the entire internal revenue system and pay
the expenses OF the Government in the new notes
He would also have the country enter at once upon
an extensive system OF internal improvements.
Mr.. Baird said that lie accepted the doctrine that
a National debt is a National blessing; and that he
believed if the war had continued several years
longer and the debt of the United States had grown
10 five or six thousand million dollars the country
would not have experienced the financial depression
through which it is now passing; a debt Of that
magnitude would prevent such political economic
theorists as Hugh McCulloch and men of his school
from having any influence. When an imitation of
the currency, such as lie advocated should take
place, he said financial panics and crises would DO
out OF the question; currency would, IN great
measure take the place of bank credit; money
would be plenty and the people would be prosperous.
The railroad riots of last Summer he said were the
legitimate aud pardonable result of this contraction
policy of the Government. Nothing but the scat
tered condition of our population prevented revo-
linton in the Summer of 1877, grander than any
that has taken place since The first French Revolu-
last Summer had lived in city like Paris they
would have overturned the Government of the
