• NATIONAL FINANCES. Speech of Hon- John Hanna in the House of Representatives, Nov. 15After reciting in detail the provisions of the various financial propositions before the House, the question being on the repeal of the Kesuniption Hill, Mr Hanna said: I do not propose to criticise or judge harshly the men by whose votes the resumption act for the time became the law. Doubtless they were actuated by patriotic motives, and honestly believed that such legislation was in the interest of the people. I do not care to inquire whether it was a Democratic or a Kcpuhlican measure. Such considerations are unworthy the position of a legislator. Neithei do I claim to be wise upon the subject of finance. I have just such opinions as are suggested by the average common sense of practical life. To the law as it now stands 1 am opposed. It has seemed to me that the only certain way of reaching and maintaining resumption is through and by means of the prosperity of the industrial interests of the people. The non-interest bearing debt, the legal tender note, will reach par just as soon as the people, by means of their prosperity, are able to establish universal confidence that every obligation of the government will he promptly met according to contract. Let me illustrate for a moment. In 1804 the legal-tender note was worth only forty cents on the dollar. True, that was in the dark hour of the republic. Now, what has brought it up from forty to about ninety-seven cents on the dollar to-day? Soon after 1804 the war ceased; the contending armies returned to their homos and melted away in the industrial pur-

sordid gain, will seek to exchange them for coin. A patient people, upon whom we have confidently relied, by the exercise of the loftiest virtues which ennoble American manhood, have nearly achieved this triumph, and I have faith to believe that, if you will break the fetters, lay aside the lash, and trust them a little longer, their fondest hopes will be realized. Hut it is said if we repeal so much of the resumption act as fixes the 1st day of January, 1879, as the day on which we shall commence to redeem the le-gal-tender notes it will seriously affe«t our credit. It will he time enough for the public creditor to give expression to doubts and fears and suspicious as to either •ur intention or abilito pay him every cent according to contract when we shall have failed to pay any installment of interest as the same becomes due. So long as we keep our contract with him such suggestions are offensive and impertinent. Again it is said that the repeal will unsettle values. On the contrary, it will restore a natural, healthy, and active state of business, freed from artifieal and forced restraints in the shape of unwise and impracticable

legislation.

Says another, wo arc nearly down to hard-pan; let us keep on going down until we reach a solid basis. Solid base, indeed! An unnatural,

seem that no well-wisher of the people would say commence to-morrow.

The fact is that during these eight years the value of the volume as measured by the eoin standard was steadily increasing. The currency was hemming sounder with each succeeding

reckless as to affirm that the national banks could keep their doors open for sixty days and then redeem their notes in gold? You would have such contraction, such a collapse and shock as would shake the gold from the

teeth of a Wall-street banker. Well, sir, if you are not prepared to

that either the panic of 187a or the condition of the country to-day is to be attributed to any such cause. If the assumption or the argument of the advocates of forced resumption be true we would have had the panic long before 187a. During those eight years every department of legitimate business was prosperous, the natural wealth of the nation enhanced, and the dcvclopoment of productive industry largely increased. Such are the stubborn facts which have found a lodgment in the minds of the people,
