_ PAPER MONEY, What the Fathers of: the Republic Taught Upon Inflation. Urredeemable Currency Prohibited in the Constitution. EFFERSON, ADAMS AND MADISON SPEAK. ‘The Ruin of Labor and the Down- fall of the Nations. WASHINGTON, April 5, 1874, “It would be an excellent law for all countries,”’ “@ays Montesquien, “to ordain that none but weal money should be current.” If Congress will @eliberately reject first principles; wii throw over- Woard all the lessons derived from the experience @f nations; will legalize fresh emissions 0! unreal money and irredeemable paper, and will launch ‘the country upon an ocean of speculation without shore or bottom, we are determined that they @hall not do it without due warning. If It 18 too late to stop the mischief, it 1s never too late Wo ex- pose error and to prociaim true principles, While volumes might be filled with the almost wnarimons deciarations of political economists | against the evils and dangers of an irredeemable currency, while the eminent publicists of ali na- ‘tions are a unit in favor of real moneyvas the only @afe currency of mankind, we are aware that the wisdom of books awakens in the minds of our Dubbie-blowing statesmen at Washington only emo- tions of incredulity and contempt. Their power- ful intellects are superior to precedent, indifferent to authority, oblivious of reason and contemptu- ous of the united experience of the world. To put* belore them, therefore, the utterances of the great- est masters of economic science or to attemps to draw any reasous for their warning from the experience of ‘‘the effete nations of Europe,” would be throwing pearls where they are very sure to be trampled under foot, But even the American politician has some regard, at ‘times, for the recorded judgment of bis predeces- gore in the field of American politics. We propose to assemble a few eXtracts from the speeches and letters of our practical statesmen trom the period of the Revolution down, all’ bearing upon this question of irredeemabie paper money. GEORGE WASHINGTON. George Washington has been sometimes sup- posed to have evinced good practical judgmeyt and sound sense in public and private affairs, This ‘eminent man wrote thus to Richard Henry Lee, Presiaent of the Continental Congress, under date of Mount Veruon, August 22, 173: I never have heara, and I hope never shall hear, @ny serious mention of a paper emission in this State (Virginia), yet such a thing may ve in agita- tion. Ignorance and design are productive of mueb mischieL Those with whom I have con- versed on the Subject in this part of the State rep- robate the idea exceedingly. thus wrote to Thomas Jetferson:— very {oolish and wicked plans of emitting paper money. * * * General McDougal, who wus a brave soldier and a disinterested patriot, is dead, ‘The iast act of his life was (after being carried on purpose to the Senate) to give his views against ‘the emission of paper currency. 3 THOMAS JEFFERSON. The opinions of Thomas Jefferson, the great ex- emplar oi liberal! and democratic opinions, upon the subject of finance, were more than once re- corded in strong opposition to an irredeemable currency. The best succinct account of paper money in America, in the days of the Revolution, Pédie Méthodique,” and is to be found in the ninth Volume of bis works. In 1813, the scheme for @ongress to establish a national bank being under discussion, Jefferson thus wrote from Monticello to John W. Eppes:— Excepting England and her copyist, the United States, there is not a nation existing, | believe, which tolerates a paper circulation. The experi- ment is going on, bowever, desperately in Eng- land, pretty boidiy with us, and at the end of the chapter we sball see which opinion experience approves, for I believe it to one of those cases where mercan- tile clamor will vear down reason until it is corrected by rnin. * * * And it is for this petty addition to the capttal he nation, minimum of $1 added to ty OF 183% per cent, tha. we are to give up our gold and silver Medium, its intrinsic solidity, its universal value and its saving powers in times of wa”, and to sub- stitute for it paper, with all its train of evils, mora), political and physical, which 1 wil not pre. tend to enumerate. And in the following extract from the same letter the prophetic instinct of Jefferson appears to have joretold precisely the catastrophe towards which the folly of the present Congress appears %o be rapidly drifting the country :— The overbearing clamor o{ merchants, speca- Yators and projeciors will drive us belore them, ‘with our eyes open, until, as in France, under the Mississippi bubbie, our citizens will be’ overtaken by the crush Of this baseiess iabric, without other satisiaction than that of execrations on the heads of those functionaries who, [rom ignorance, pusil- lamimity or corrnption, have betrayed the fruits of their industry into wwe huuds o! projectors and swindlers, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. Benjamin Frank)in has been of quoted by the advocates of inflation as on their side of the paper- money question. It is true, indeed, that Frankiin, when im his twenty-third year, wrote and printed ‘@ juvenile essay in defence of a paper-money sy3- tem for the young colony of Pennsylvania. But the riper wisdom of his later years effectnally Tepaired this youthinl blunder, and we find him in the Continental Congress lending the powerful in- uence of his votce and vote against those inflated issues of irredeemabie paper which remain unpaid wato this day; and in 1777, writing from Paris to James Lovell, Franklin used the following lan- Do financier in the wor gMectual method, Again, ip a letter to Josian Quincey, dated Passy, September 11, 1753, F Kin tins placed the seal of bis reprobation upon irredeemable cur- rency :— Llament with you the many mt tace, the corruption of manners, } @ depreciating carrency. li is s to me that [ washed my banas oi dieting it in Congress and p would have been eflectual in prey had been adopted. Subse have executed demonstrate can put you upon a more an hiefs, the injus- that attended consolation evil by pre- qd practicable, but it was, uniortuuately, RICHARD BENRY LER Richard Henry Lee, one of the presidents of the Continental Congress, thus expressed times 1785 in a letter to General Washington :— Is it possible that a plan can be formed for is- ne Tle suing @ iarge sum of paper money byt t Assembly? I do verily believe that the foes we have in the worid could not devi effectual plan jor ruining Virginia. I si pose that every friend to his country, eve und sober man, would join heartily to reproba mefarious a pian Of speculation, JAMES MADISON. Madison was ab inflexibie op; o paper money ip all its forms, except when made in yaiue to specie, In 1786 he reprobatea “the itch for paper money,” which exhibited itself in the Legislature of Virginia. In a letter to Jefer- son, August 12, 1786, Madison places at the head of nent paper money.” “Pennsylvania and North Carolina,’ saye he, “took the lead in this folly. Im the former the pum emitted was not considerable, the funds for sinking it were good, and it was no. made a legal tender. The present deprecta- tion is about ten or tweive percent. In North Carolina, the deprecation ts said to be twenty-five or thirty per cent.” Madison made a speech in opposition te paper money in the House of Dele- gates of Virginia, in which he deciared the system tobe “unjast, unconstitutional, anti-federa@f, un- Necessary and pernicious.” Happily he succeeded jm carrying its defeat, and the House of Delegates voted by a majority Of 84 against 17 that paper And under date of August 1, 1786, Washington | Some other States are, in my opinion, falling into | ‘Was written by Jefferson for the French ‘Eucyclo- | this | guage :— 1 am giad to understand that you are taking measures to restore the value of your money by | taxing largely ty reduce the quantity. I believe the evils then prominent “the general rage ler | ‘Woney was “unjust, impolitic, destructive of pub- Ne and private confidence and of that virtue which is the basis of republican government.” In 1787 Madison wrote to Jefferson from Philadelphia that “the paper money here ceased to circulate very suddenly afew days ago. Nothing but evil springs from this imaginary money wherever it is tried, and yet the appetite for it where it has not been tried continues to be felt.” In the forty-third number oi the Federalist, also, we find Mr. Madison thus defending that feature of the constitution which denied to the States the right to issue bills of credit, and to make paper money a legal tender :— The extension o/ the prohibition to bills of credit mast give pleasure to every citizen im proportion to als fove of justice and his Knowledge of the true springs of public prosperity. The loss which ‘America has sustained since the peace from tae pestilent eifects of paper money on the necessary confidence betweeD man and man, on the neces- sary confidence 1 the public counsels, on the indus- try and morals of the people and on the character of republican government constitutes an enor mous debt agaist the States chargeable with this upadvised measure, which must long remain un- satisfied, or rather an accumulation of guilt which can be expiated nO otherwise than by a voluntary sacrifice on the altar of justice of the power which has been the instrument of it. In addition to these persuasive considerations it may be ob- served (Nat the same reasons which show tie necessity of den: to the States the power of regulating cvin prove with equal force that they ought not to be at liberty to substitute a pa me dium in the piace of coin. The power to make any- thing but gold and silver a tender in ment of debts is withdrawn from the States on the same pringiple with that of tasuing a paper currency. JOHN aDAMs, The second President of the United States has left on record many warm denunciations of the | paper money system, which, in colonial days, almost ruined the business of Massachusetts, and @talater period nearly swamped the finances of the Continental Congress, Here is one speci- men:— 1 cannot but lament, from my inmost soul, that lust for paper money which appears in some parts of the United States. There will never be any unl- form rule, if there 1s a Sense of justice, nor any © | clear credit, public or private, nor any settled | confidence in public men or measures until paper money is done away. Again, in his letters on government, addressed to John Taylor, of Caroline, in his latter days, Mr. Adams thus wrote :. Here, sir, once for all, let me say, that you can write noting too severe for me against “paper | weaith.” You may say, if you please, a8 Swit | says of party, that 1 is the madness of the many for the profit of the few. You may calla swindler a pickpocket, a pirate a thief or a robber, and I will not contradict you nor dispute with you, But, str, how will you obtain your “inhibitions upon monop- ly and imcorporation,’’ when the few are craving and the many mad jor the same thing; when | democrats and aristocrats all unite, with perhaps | Only two or three exceptions, in urging these | monopolies and incorporations to the last ex- tremity, and when every man who opposes them is sure to be ruined? Paper wealth has been a source of aristocracy in this country, as well as landed wealth, with a vengeance. Witness the immense fortunes made per saltem by aristocratic Speculation, both in land and paper. Again, on the 12th of March, 1819, we find John Adams commending a work which Mr. Jefferson | had sent him by the French poltical economist, Destutt Tracy :— His chapter “of money” contains the sentiments that I have entertained ali my iietime. I will | quote only a lew nes, A theit of greater mag- nitude, aud still more ruinous, is the making of | paper money: it is greater, because in this money there aoe, no reai value; itis more ruin. | ous because, by its gradual depreciation during | ail the time of its existence, it produces the effect | which would be produced by an infinity of suc- | | Cessive deteriorations oi the coins. All tuese int | | quities are iounded on the jaise idea ihat money | is but a sign, | ALEXANDER HAMILTON, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States under the constitution, was also the most powerful advocate of a sound currency and of tie Most scrupalous observance of public faith. In his | celebrated report to the House of Representatives upon the public credit, January 9, 1790, we find Mr. Hamilton writing as foliows:— Every breach of the public engagements, whether from choice or necessity, is, in different degrees, hurtiul to public credit. * * * it is higuly important, when an appearance of necessity seems to press upon the public councils, that the! | should examine well its reality, and be perfectly assured that there is no method of escaping irom | it, before they yield to its suggestions, * * * A wise nation will never permit rhose who relieve the wants of their country, or who rely most on Its | Jaith, its firmness and its resources, when either of these is distrusted, to suffer by the event. * * * There is no sentiment which can better deserve the serious attention of the legislators of a country than the one expressed tn the speech of the Presi- cent (Washington), which indicates the danger to every government from the progressive accumula- | tion of debt. A tendency to it is, perhaps, the natural disease of all governments; and it is not easy to cl ve anytuing more likely than this to lead to great and convulsive revolutions of em- | pire. GEORGE MASON, | One of the great and infuential statesmen of Vir- ginia in the days of the Revolution ana the consti- tution was George Mason. His sentiments upon irre- deemable currency may be seen in the following extract from a letter written by him to General Washington in 1785:— I have heard nothing from the Assembly except vague reports of their being resoived Lo issue @ paper currency; upon what principle or funds | Know not; perhaps upon the old threadbare security of pledging solemnly the public credit. I beleve such an experiment would prove similar to the old vuigar adage of carrying a horse to the water. They may pass a law to issue it, bat twenty laws Will not make the people receive it. JAMES WL SON. Among ail the statesmen of the constitutional period none was more able and influential than the eminent writer on jurisprudence, James Wil- son, of Pennsylvania. The following is his deciara- tion of sentiment on the paper money question, made in the Convention which framed the consti- tution of the United States :— ; It will have a most salutary influence on the | credit of the United States to remove the possipil- ity of paper money. This expedicnt would never succeed while its mischiets are remembered, and as long as it can be resorted to 1¢ will be a bar to other resources, OLIVER ELLSWORTH, — This eminent citizen of Conhecticnt thus ex- pressed himself in the Constitutional Convention | of 1787, as reported by Mr. Madison, on the subject of the currency :— | Mr. Ellsworth thought this a favorable moment ‘ to shut and bar the door against paper money. | The miscniefs of the various experimeats which | nad been made were now Iresh in the public mind, and had excited the disgust of all the respectavie part of America. But by withholding the power | from the new government more friends of inju- ence would be gained to it than by almost any- | | thing else, Paper money can in no case be neces- sary, Give the government credit and other re- sources will offer, The power may do harm, never good. | THE FRAMERS OF THF CONSTITUTION—PAPER MONEY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. | In the Convention which framed the constitn- tion of the United States, in 1787, this question | formed a leading topic of discussion. In the orig- imal draft of the constitution the clause investing Congress with the power to coin money and regu- late the value thereof contained an additional slause to this effect—‘‘And toemit bills on the ‘edit of the United States.” Mr. Gouverneur Morris moved to strike out this power, | Mr. Madison thought that Congress shonld be prohibited irom making Bational bills a legal tender, | | | i ree Butler, of South Carolina, declared cr was pot a legal tender in any country | in H¢ was urgent for disarming the gov- ernment of any such power. Europe. Mr. George Mason, of Virginia, had a mortal hatred of paper money, yet he could not foresee all em cies. He was unwilling to tie the hands of te Legislature. | Mr. George Reed, of Delaware, thought this | power to issue paper money, if not struck out, | wonld be as alarming as the mark of the beast, in Revelations. John Langdon, of New Hampshire, said he | Would rather reject the whole Constitution than | retain those three words, “and private bills.’? | On finally taking the question upon striking oat | the clause conferring upon Congress the power to | issue paper money the vote was taken by States. ‘The Vote stood in favor of striking out, nine States; against striking out, two States. The States vot ing against the paper money power were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Penngyl- vania, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, while New Jersey and Mary- Jand only voted to retain tuis power in the const. tution, A significant note is appended to this vote by Mr. Madison, whose reoors of the debates of the Cohsu. | | valued at $150, was stolen therefrom. | 401, tutional Convention we have cited. The note ¢ piatns his own pos'tion on the question :— This vote in the aifirmative HS was 0c- casioned by the acquiescence of Mr. im, who became satisfied that striking out the words would not disable the government from the use 01 public notes, a8 far as they could be saie and proper, and would only cut oi ‘the pretext for a paper cur- rency, and particularly for making tbe bills & tender either for public or private debts, Again, in the Constitutional Convention, the re- Strictions on the powers of the States being under consideration, Mr. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, and Roger Sherman, of Connecticut, both moved to In- sert after the prohivition to coin money the words “nor emit bills of credit, nor make anything but gold and milver coin a tender in payment of debts.”” | They were for making these prohibitions absolute, instead of permitting the articte to stand which allowed these measures to tue States “with the consent of Congress.” Mr. Sherman declared that this was a favorable crisis for crushing paper money. If the consent of the Legislature (that 3 Congress) could author- ize emissions of it, the friends of paper money would make every exertion to get into Congress tn order to license it, The question being divided, the vote stood on the first clause, ‘“‘nor emit Dilla of credit,” eight States in the affirmative, one in the negative and one divided. The vote on the re- maining clause, prohibiting the States from making anything but gold and silver coln a tender in pay- ment of debts, was carried unanimously in the af. firmative, A TOMBS LIBRARY. Opening of the Gilbert Library in the Tombs—Prisoners SuppHed with Suit- able Reading. Yesterday afternoon the Gilbert Library, which Das been collecting for some time back, was formally dedicated at the Tombs. About half-past two 150 or more invited guests filed into the corridor of the main prison, under the guidance of Miss Linda Gilbert, Rey. Dr. Deems opened the ceremonies by requesting the assemblage to sing the long- metre doxology, Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. The prisoners, who were allowed outside of the cell doors, then ranged along the tiers, evidently deeply interested in wnat was going on. The Lord’s Prayer was then repeated, at the conclusion of which Dr. Deems read two letters from Miss Gilbert—one addreased to the Commissioners of Charities and Corrections, thanking them for having provided a suitable case for the library, and the other to the inmates of the prison, which Tead as follows :- Farenps:—Rest assured that I will be amply rewarded for ail my labor in prisons if the peru al of these vooks Will inciie their readers to a higher standard of morals. There can be nothing more humiliating to a sensiiive mind than to know, that you are considered unfit to Ko at large among your fellow men, and your being here an evidence of that tact, although you may only be a cused and awaiting the ‘action of the Courts. satisfied to be here for a little temporary avenge an unaginary wrong? Do not let the serpent sting thee twice. Strive to make the world your debtor by kindness, rather than to be constantly on the alert for an opportunity to avenge or redress your grievances, Bear avd forbear, and you wiil surely secure hosts of friends in every time of need. May ‘it please God to | guard, guide and direct the future lives of those in this dark house. LINDA GILBERT. Addresses were delivered .by Revs, Messrs. Heath and Dooley, their remarks being in- terspersed by the singing of “Rock of Ages’? and other well Known hymns, After the dedication services the library was thrown opea for inspec- tion, It 1s in the council room of the prison, and consists of about 1,100 works of a miscella- neous character. ‘The library is under the control of the authorities, and is subject to proper rules andregulations. It is hoped that this is only tne nucleus of a large collection, whereby the weary hours of prison lie may be beguiled by instructive and profitable reading. TWO EAST SIDE BUKGLARS IN THE TOILS, About three o’clock on Saturday morning the Jager beer saloon of Wiiiam Thoden, No, 38 Clinton street, was broken into and liquor and cigars, When open- ing his saloon, about six o’clock, the proprietor discovered his loss and immediately reported tne robbery at the station house, Officer Dyer, of the Tenth precinct, instituted inquiries and ascertained that vwo of the burglars frequented a saloon in Seventy-iourth street. On Saturday morning he proceeded there and succeeded in arresting John Manvley aud Charlies Newhardt, both of whom con- fessed that they had committed the burglary. They stated that they had sold a portion of the stolen property to Taggart Schmiat, who keeps a lager r saloon at No, 429 East Seventy-fourth street, and upon investigation o his preinises the property was found. Schmidt said that one of the prisoners came to him and represented that bis motner who had been keeping a saloon was closing business and wished to dispose of her stock, and that he bought the liquor and cigars thinking 1t was all Tight. Yesterday morning the two prisoners and Schmid were taken to the Essex Market Police court and Justice Otterbourg committed them in default of $1,000 each to answer, and held Schmidt asa witness. FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET POLICE COURT. Betore Justice Murray. About three o’clock yesterday morning Con- ductor James Vantine, of the Second Avenue line, went to the depot and found two men, named Pat- rick Condon and Dennis O’Brien, drunk in the car which he was going to rona few minutes later. He ordered them out, when one of them struck him. Officer Stephen Linindoill, of the Fifty-ninth street station, came to tie conductor's assistance, and the two men left the car, but went directly into the starter’s office. Linindoll followed them and ordered them out, and, one snowing some re- sistance, he attempted to draw his club, which had hitherto remained in uis belt. Both men then attacked him simultaneously, fea lim against the wall, face inwards, took his club away trom him, and beat him severely with it about the head and body. Officers Curtin and Lankanan, who were on duty in the neighborhood, were notified, and rescued their comrade after some hard fight- ing with Condon and O’%rien, Who are both power- ful young men, ‘they were arraigned in Court yesterday, but Were remanded, Linindoil not being able to appear or even to leave his bed, mouse his injures are quite severe, they are not Jatal, COURT JALENDARS—THIS DAY, Supreme Court—Spaciat, TenM—Held Van Brunt—Demurrers,—Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.
