BUS SPFECH AT LAWRENCE, OR 10, IN FAVOR OF SPECIE PAYMENT. Senator Jobn Sherman. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, delivered a *t ch at the republican meeting held in Lawrence covniy, Obto, on the night of Sist ult. Afier setting forth that by enmmon con- sent in all ag sof the world—in all civilized ard cemi-eiviliz d nations, both Christian and paven—that gold and silver are rezanied as the best standards of value, the speaker said: If gold is the best miand of value why have any other money—why have paper ALA], why not all back upon hand mone. s only enireney? This was the old dc trine of the demociatic party, ot Jackson ard Benton—yes. and of Gov. Allen, too. forty yesrs azo. The answer is that the ¢ xpe- nenee of commercial nations has demonstra- ted ibat paper morey ts a great convenience in promotiag exehanges. It is more portabie; 2 be transferred reattiy from hand to band; It can be more easily eaarded com thieves; and it gives Nfe anu activity to ¥ substituting crvdit for actual coin. tall this isof paper money convertible into coin at the will of the holder, not depre cated paper money. What we still want is national mor readily convertible into old. #lel us examine the reney should be n reasons Why our cor fe equal to gold. The first and most obvions one is that the United tates promise to pay its notes in gold. Here sadoilar bill. It reads: “The United States Will pay to the bearer one- dolla What tx adoilar? The statutes of the United States declare a dollar to be acoin weighing 218-19 grains of standard gold. Way is it not paid? Are we unable now, as during the war, to meet this obligation? It is said this ne does not fix the time of payment. This would be no defence by an individual ina j Suit at law, for the court would say such a note was payable on demand, and comjx him to pay. The United States cannot be sued, but itonght to be hoaest; it ought to observe those rules of honesty which tt pre- scribes for its citizens the powe Admit that it has ¥ that the thme of payment is public policy; but @ x lays the payment of such an r the nation is able to pay impairs the public faith and sets ample.

It ar. It’ promises a dollar The t e promises to pay for it a jar t it wi'lonly buy as much as pal money. Suppose its pur- was ma would cease, and the labor 1d buy as much for 65 cents as radollar now. The United States would have redeemed its promise, and all busi a yus would rest upon real it is said this note is good. good to pay taxes, for the taxing power agrees to take !t. and the same power d ment of debts; but would it not ba better if it would buy as much wheat and corn and clothing as gol? It would then be good for all purposes, There is no power in human law to fix its value in gold or wheat or labor or clothing. Everybody measures its depre- ciation da While it is good in the sen: that the United States is able to pay it, it is bot good in the sense that the United Staves does not pay it according to promise. We are told that specie payments involve @ great contraction of the currency, and that a contraction of the currency would make money scarce and add tothe present distress. This objection rests upona fallacy. I deny both the p.emise and the conclusion. It Texts upon the fallacy that we can by law fix the amount of the currency necessary for Uie wants Of business. Fyom the very na- sod currenty it ebbs and flows, ean- zd expands 40 meet the demaads of Ir i it ought to be redeemed; if for the purchase of production it should be issued to meet the demand. The only law to regulate its amount is to provide for the issue of all that can be maintained at parin gold. If it is below par, there is too mreh. If it cannot be readily had in ex- change for production, for which there ix a demand, then there is too little. Under this rule the great body of our present circula tion could be maintained at par in gold, and all the gold now lying idle, and all that is produced by raining, will be added to and mingle with the paper money in daily use. The speaker then proceaded to deny that the panic of 1573 was caused bya contraction of the currency. In answer to the argameat that if gold the standard of value, why Was paper money issued at all in excess of the amount that Could be kept at par in gold, he said, that it was issned under the over: whelming necessities of a great civil war? It Was in Feb ry, in 1562, after all the hanks had suspended specie payments, when our | armies had made no progress, our revenues our expe. | were cut off by the war, anc tures were nor | day. There was then lying the table of | Mr. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, re- quisitions for over eighty million dollars to } pay our soirliers, and to supply them with | food, ammnonition and transportation. ©: bonds eoult not be sold, for there was no cur- | Fency to pay for them.

We therefore mate them aiegal ; tender, and the Sapreme Court has upheld our power to d0 so. Bat we took every pre- ution to prevent their depreciation.
