Henderson, of Missouri, on the National Currency: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, May 6, 1864 I am now speaking of the provisions generally found in State bank' charters, in order presently to draw a comparison between them and the provisions 'of the bill under consideration, which it is said is to furnish to us this greatly needed currency that is to be uniform in value throughout the country. I am aware that the State banks have heretofore very ingeniously managed to avoid many, if not all, of these wise and wholesome restraints imposed by the States. As capital has done in the past it, will do in the future, and you will not get rid of these difficulties under the proposed banking system; indeed they will be much greater than under any State bank law of which I have any knowledge. As I said before, I do not desire to be understood as defending the State banks or as attempting to urge upon the Senate any right upon their part to issue currewy; I am aware of their shortcomings; but it seems to me illogical to complain of evils existing under a good system, even if it be a State system - evils, indeed, inseparable from all bank issues - and then to urge the adoption of a measure, wholly without safeguards, without a dollar of coin, propped up on public credit, issuing unlimited quantities of irredeemable paper, convulsing the country with its contractions and expansions. Producing at one time the corruptions of extravagance, at another the distress that follows money panics, corrupting the rich and degrading the poor.

This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Thomas H. Benton, of Missouri, on the Cabinet Plan for a Federal Exchequer: Delivered in the Senate, January 13, 1842 If there Were a thousand constitutional provi sions in favor of paper money, I should sxilkhe against flit-against the thing itself, 'per so and propter. Se - On account of its own inherent baseness and vice. But the Constitution is against it clearly so upon its face; upon its history; upon its early practice; upon 11s uniform interpretation. The universal expression at - fthe time of its adop tion was, that the new Government was a hard money Government, made by. Hard money men, and that it was to save the country from the curse, of paper money. This Was the universal Ian guage - this the universal sentiment, and this hard money character of the new Government was once of the great recommendations in its favor, and one 01 the chief inducements to its adoption All the° early action of the Government conformed to this ideas-all its early legislation was as true to hard money as the needle rstto the pole. The very first netot Congress for the collection of duties on im ports. Passed in the first year of the new Govern ment's existence, and enacted by the very men who had framed the Constitution - this first acttren' quired those duties to be paid in gold and silver; coin only; the word only, which is a contraction. For the old English o'nelyhbeing added to cut off the possibility of an intrusion, or an injection of a par ticle of paper money into the Treasury of: that United States. The first act for the sale of publictt lands required them to be paid for 111 speeiezl-'uthe specie circular of 1836 was only the enforcement t. Of that act; and the hard money clause in the Inde pendent Treasury was a revival of these two origi nal and fundamental revenue laws. Such were the early legislative interpretations of the Constitu j tion by the men who made it; and corresponding with these for a long time after the commencement of the Government, were the interpretations of all public men, and of no one more emphatically than oi him Who is now the prominent member of this, Administration, and to whose hand public opinion attributes the elaborate defence of the Cabinet Ex chequer plan which has been sent down to us. In two speeches, delivered by that gentleman in the House of Representatives in the year 1816, he thus expressed himself on the hard money character of our Government, and on the fully and danger of the paper system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Currency, Specie Payments: Speech of Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, in the United States Senate, January 16, 1874 All modern experience teaches the importance of the division of labor. Indeed that is the favorite tepic of every writer on political economy. Every man to his trade, and if the trade can be subdivided into many specialties, then every man to his specialty. I was in the celebrated manufactory of steel pens of Mr. Gillett, and saw that it required the labor of thirty men and women to contribute to the making of this implement. Each one was skillful in his part, and this part was perfectly done, and this subdivision of labor and skill gave increased wages and value to the work of each laborer, secured a fortune to the owners, and a perfect pen to the world. The same law which demands a division of labor is applied to professional and. Scientific pursuits. The law has many specialties. The honors of science are only won by those who devote their mental faculties to one branch of study. The same law extends to all leading produc tions, as cotton, wool, wheat, corn, and gold.
