Alexander Hamilton.

Paper Read Before the ChautduQata Circle.
Situated as we are it is a difficult
task to write either an interesting
or an instructive biographical
sketch. One can only present
ideas cleaned from biographies in
our library, together with such
facts as may be indelibly i'm
pressed on his mind by the study
of history in his boyhood days. I
had thought first to give IN this
paper some of my personal recol-
lections of Mr. Hamilton, but de-
cided I would be too greatly
handicapped by the fact that he
died nearly fifty years before I
was born.
It is no part of my purpose to
enter into a history of his boyhood
and youth, nor even of his early
career in the army and in congress,
but shall devote my entire paper
to just one portion of. his life
his connection with the Treasury
Department of the United States.
On September End, 1889, Presi-
dent Washington signed an act
passed by Congress establishing
the Treasury Department of the
United States. He had already
selected the man who was first to
occupy the position of Secretary
of the Treasury. In fact, nearly
everyone agreed that Alexander
Hamilton was the man best fitted
for the position. He was then
only thirty. two years of age, but
his past life, which had been a
most strenuous one, had peculiar
ly fitted him for the position.
10 attempt TO measure the exact
proportion of a great man is not
very easy and, perhaps, not very
profitable. Hamilton certainly had
great versatility. He was de-
cided success in every field he had
entered. One of the ablest, if not
the ablest constitutional writer OF
the time, he was also a great ora
tor, lawyer, and statesman. He
was ambitious, very ambitious.
Not ambitious to hold Office, but
to be famous and powerful, and

Trif1ing spider, but thrash him sound.
So opened my jar and prodded
Monsieur beetle from his lair;
And I'm sure the rascal nodded
AS he shifted the cooling air.

Charged he on the wiry foe.
"Game!" cried. "By all creation!"
Soon there was merry 60.
Grew the circle ever wider
Of that conflict, weird and wild;
First the beetle then the spider
Was the master for the while,
How they charged and struck, retreated,
Screamed and scratched and bit and torei
Both were fair, for neither cheated
BY foul or craven score.
Bite and cuff and kick were meted
Equally by spide and bug
For time; but soon defeated
Lay my champion on the rug.

Proud of battle mark and scar.

I was browsing through hazy,
Droll and ancient roundelay;
Pulling drowsily and lazy
At my blackened pipe of clay.
Lured my spirits into smiling,
Did that queer old running rhyme.
Thusly Willing and beguiling
OFF the tiresome ticks of time.
When saw a monstrous spider,
On the saga's vellum sheen,
Of fiercer mien that either
Man or fay before had seen,
Yet methought the wicked weaver,
And the foe of fitting flies.
Had look Of-dour deceiver!-
Mildness in his beady eyes.
Onward came he, softly, slowly,
And with calm and measured tread;
Not with aspect meek and lOwly,
But with proud and rearing head.
Gazing round at naughty leisure,
And challenge in his eye;
AS if ne would like to measure
Strength with foeman, bug or fly.

In a jar of crystal rare,
Where they thrived and grew and flourishe
Beetles, stygian black, pair.

The whole debt of the Unit

due. The whole debt of the Unit
ed States at that time was little
over eighty million dollars, a
mere bagatelle now, that John D.
Rockefeller could pay and still be
one of the richest men in the
world, but at that time was a fab
ulous amount.
Of course the laws for raising
revenue for the support of the
government and the liquidation
of these debts, were made by Con-
gress, but they were suggested to
Congress in the reports Of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The
only one of these suggestions that
received any marked degree Of OPP
position was the levying of inter-
nal revenue. And altho the right,
under the constitution, Of the ma
tional government to impose this
revenue was never questioned, the
measure met with most bitter op-
position, for that had been one Of
the principal causes of the long
and bloody war which was only
just ended. An excise on the
manufacture Of spirits was, how
ever, agreed upon, and this finally
led to other internal revenues.
The next report of Mr.. Hamil-
ton to Congress urged the estab-
lishment of a national bank, with
a national currency as a circulat-
ing medium. In national bank
he perceived the possibility, the
almost certainty Of developing the
vast natural resources Of the coun-
try. The plan was certainly very
feasible. Congress saw it's worth.
and acted upon it. From this
starting-poi our present system
Of national banks was inaugurated.
From this distance it looks as tho
Hamilton did little trading" in
order to get Congress to pass his
bank proposition.
Another matter of great impor-
lance was before Congress at the
same time, no less a matter than
the deciding of the site for the
capitol, and it appears as tho he
Compromised" with certain men,
bers who opposed his measure, by
favoring their site for the capitol.
Hamilton's opponents declared the
establishing of a national bank to
be unconstitutional, and fought
the measure in the cabinet, after it
had passed both houses. The ar
gument he presented on the i'm
piled powers of the constitution,
altho prepared on the spur of the
moment, has probably never been
surpassed, altho the subject has
been handled by all of our greatest
lawyers and statesmen from that
day until the present time. Any
way, it convinced President Wash
ington and his cabinet, and the
measure became law.
Next came his report recon-
mending the establishment of the
mint. This was of MINOR impor-
lance, but the report submitted to
Congress showed his financial pol
icy was complete in every detail.
It showed that his researches into
the commercial and financial sys-
TENS of other nations had been in
lexhaustible. He introduced the

countrymen. To these ends every
thing he did was directed.
Most political leaders of today

Most political leaders OF today
(and other days, I suppose) are
contented to float with the cur
rents of public sentiment, but this
cannot be said of Hamilton. He
was leader, not follower. Be-
ing such strong personality he
naturally had good many enc
mics. It was impossible to enter
tain lukewarm sentiments towards
him; he was either loved or hated
by all. At the time he was asked
by President Washington to &C
cept the portfolio of Secretary of
the Treasury, he was prominent
and most successful attorney. His
practice was worth to him many
times the paltry salary the posi-
ton offered, but as l said before,
he was ambitious. we'll knew
the manifold difficulties that would
beset his career, knew that every
act would be scrutinized and ex-
amined, every slip chronicled,
every mistake magnifed. But he
also knew that if his financial pol
icy was successful, he would win
the hearty good will of the whole
business world; and he knew
equally we'll that every step taken
would be bitterly antagonized by
the opposition. His self-reliance
wasgreat, but he must have felt some
apprehensions as to his ability to
successfully establish national
financial policy. But the greater
the difficulties the more defantly,
and even the more confdentially,
he faced his duties.
The first troubles that presented
themselves while he was busy
celebrating and devising a new
system of finances, were the
immediate and pressing needs
of the government. The treasury
was empty and the credit of the
old confederacy was broken, but
he soon succeeded in surmounting
these difficulties, and temporary
relief was obtained. I want to
keep before your mind that Ham
ilton was a great constitutional
lawyer, and that his great aim
first, last, and all the time was ma
tional supremacy; and one can see
these doctrines looming up behind
his every move: He was continu-
ally striving to establish national
life, and with him "a successful
financial policy meant the success
full establishment of the new gov
eminent" Only a few days after
his appointment, Congress di-
rected him to prepare report on
the public credit. In that report
he laid down one of the principles
that has pervaded the financial
policy of our nation ever since,
the one great principle that has
done more than all else to place
this country on the firm financial
basis it now occupies: the need of
the most rigid honor in all things
connected with financial dealings.
His first object, therefore, was to
form a party, not new political
party, but one bound by the
strongest of all ties, immediate
and personal interest. He wished
to and did enlist the cooperation
of those who controlled the capt.
tai of the country. To these ends
all of his energies were directed,
and in founding his financial poll
CIV, he laid the corner stone of our
national government.
It must be remembered that the
treasury was empty, the govern
ment bankrupt, and that the i'm
mediate raising Of funds was
imperative. The boldness with
which he went about his duty
amounted, at times, to an almost
