SOL0N CHASE ON SPECIE PAY
MENTS.

"Witi this sum specie payments can be
resumed at once, and the premise that is
written ON the face of the sreenback TO pay
the dollar, made good. This would give
bill good dollar for his work, and the
wounded veteran good money for his PEN
sion, which is only justice md fair play to
Bill and the veteran; that is, Bill not only
would work for gold wages as he
does now, but would buy his goods
at gold prices, and thereby save
another large item of the $25434 that
is pressed out of him annually
SPECIE PAYMENTS Is THE ONE
THING NEEDFUL IN OUR PRESENT
CONDITION., AND WILL CURE Us OF
MANY FINANCIAL ILLS. The m oment
you have got specie payments, PendIeton's
and Buffers theory of paying the bonds in
greenbacks, which means neither more or
less than more and meaner money, be-
comes obsolete. If Congress in its blum
derings, did not agree to pay the principal
of the bonds in gold, il ought to have
agreed to, and specie payments will make
the agreement what il ought to be. The wit
of man cannot devise any scheme that will
bring absnt specie payments other than re-
deeming greenbacks with gold; that is, let
somebody else have some good money be-
sides the bondh hsldcrs.-SOLON CHASE'S
"POOR MANS TRACT OF 1871.
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-06

MONEY was never more abundant in this
country than it is oday. So cheap is it that
the Government, for the first time in its his
tory, can borrow money at four per cent.
interest. Millions of money are idle to-day,
seeking investment, and waiting only the
return of confidence. Confidence in what ?
Confidence that people will pay their debts,
that money lent will be returned. 1t cannot
be that any distress we are now suffering
from is due to lack of money, for any man
to-day, on good security, can borrow any
kind of money, gold, silver, paper, at the
cheapest rates ever known in this country.
Would an increase of the circulating medium
restore confidence? Would men be any
reader to lend? Would they not feel less
disposed to lend, seeing that as nominal val.
ues mounted up, they would not get in re-
payment the equivalent of the value with
which they parted?

CLARK's CURRENCY REPORT, DEC. 1865.
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-06

IT is not, perhaps, strange that many men.
ordinarily sound thinkers, have lost their
heads on the currency question. 1t is GER
tainly not new. England when the century
was in its teens underwent the same expert
ence. Her currency was twenty per cent.
below par. A host of writers, in it some dis
tinguished names, argued, as our Greenback-
ers are arguing to-day, that resumption was
impossible, that the prosperity of the country
depended upon the initiation of the paper cur
rency. Even Goblet, sound political thinker
as he usually was, declared that ''to cause
the bank to pay again in gold is impossible"
But the solid, substantial men of England,
the merchants who had made her wealth and
sent her flag to every sea, paid no heed to the
paper-money tribe. The result was that
England did resume, that the bank did pay
gold. And today London is the financial
centre of the globe.

they say, "We are in favor of an equitable

Does any one wish the country to invest
another thousand millions in railroads that
cannot pay the interest on the money put out
to build them? Does any one wish our cities
and towns to run in debt two thousand mill
lions more, so deep in debt that it will cost
more to dig them out than it cost to excavate
Pompeii, or dig out the buried cities of Argos
or the Idalium tombs2 Yet that is what
return to the flush times following the war
means. It means running in debt, it means
living credit, it means parsimony in pub

THE argus says the PRESS dare not denv
that the appropriations have been decreased
by the Democrats. The PRESS does not
wish to deny that the Democrats did re-
duce appropriations. Our point is that the
reduced appropriations were insufficient for
the necessary expenses of the Government.
and this the Democratic House has acknowi-
edged by the passage of deficiency bills.
Furthermore we assert that the Democrats
knew they were not voting enough money.
but attempted to make cheap reputation
for economy, by Withholding as long as DOS
sible portion of the sum essential to carry
on the Government. That is, the boasted
retrenchment was fraud planned to cheat
the country. The saving.was not a real re-
duction; it was merely a postponement of
payment made in order to get up false claim
of economy for the uses of a political cam
paign. Now the bills can no longer be de-
ferred, and in the present year alone are great
er than for the last four years of Republican
control in the House taken together. In the
last year of Republican House the appro-
priations were reduced $16,0OO,OOO. In this
latest year Of a Democratic House they have
been increased S24,OOO,0OO. There is the
contrast. If the executive departments made
deficiencies by violating the law why did
Democratic House condone that violation by
voting money for the deficiencies? The off
cial figures which the Argus quotes are the
figures of Mr.. Atkins, and are obtained by
the very convenient process OF reckoning the
amount the House refused to appropriate in
former years as so much saving and ignoring
the fact that the House has had to atone for
the neglect and make up the deficiency.
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-06

THE one great question at issue in this
Maine campaign is, Shall we resume specie
payments on the first of January next?
Shall the Government then say to its credit
ers, "We will give you dollars value for
each dollar-note of ours you present2' That
means that each one of us shall follow the
example of the Government; that the man
who is paid "dollar" for his days work can
exchange that "dollar'' for a hundred cents
worth of goods; that the trader shall not
mark his goods ten or twenty cents above
cost and legitimate profit in order to cover
the difference between real and nominal val
ues; that the seller who disposes of commodi.
ties on credit may be sure of receiving an
equivalent three months, or six months, or
year hence, for the goods with which he
parts, That is the question to be decided.
and not questions of banking, of kinds of
notes to be used between men in the transac-
tion of business, of forms of paper currency.
What we want is to have paper currency
based on and consequently rejeemabe in
coin. That once settled we shall be free to
discuss the wisest, safest and most economi-
cal forms of paper currency.
