The True Inwardness oftlie Subject,

WILMINGTON, DEL., NOV. 5, 1875.

To the Editor of the Atlanta Heraldi MY DEAR SIR—It would have saved me some hours in a timo of business pressure if I could have had the aid of a stenographer at Macon to report the speech I there ma.de to the people of Goorgia. But' as no report of uiy speech was made, I cinnot fail, in view of the grave importance of the subject, to comply with your request for "an open letter" in relation to the

rnlna

commodities, and thus at once fails in Jd

The threat of "inflation»-that is of increasing the volume of irredeemable paper notes of the Government, and thereby necessarily decreasing the value in a greater

ratio-produces

The ebb and flow of party power changes Congressional majorities from year to year, and I can imagine no bo ly of men so unfit to exercise so great a power and peculiar discretion as the accidental majority of Congress. Such a power has never been exercised in Great BritaiD. Even there under their imperial syst» m, and all the political omnipotence of Parliament, such folly as confining the banking business of the country to a single species of capital, or preventing any Danker or banking association from using bis or their credit by the emission of notes in any form they saw fit, has never been attempted or suggested. Therefore we see the numerous bank of Scotland, and Ireland, and England, "country banks" they are callei, pursuing a safe, useful and profitable business, supplying currency notes to

that ho buyer can know £ow much he will have to pay when his debts fall die, nor can the seller know what value he is to receive and thus all ordinarv business operations become speculative and gambling transactions. With a basis so changeable, ail loans of money are uncertain, as the lender can feel no confidence that he will get back a value equal to that with which he parted, and will, therefore, hesitate to make the loan unless upon a profit equivalent to his supposed ri^k, and this undue profit is always paid by the borrower. If the lender was made to feel confident that the currency he loaned would not

limi

tations as self-preservation, and

the

laws compelling redemption of

their

notes on demand in gold and silver coin, make it necessary.

The

notes

oi the Scotch and Irish banks float side and side with the notes of the Bank of England and the coined money of the realm, in all avenues of business. They are not and never were a legal tender, but convertible at will into coin, they became practically equivalent.

Nowhere in the wide world oi commerce was strict buisness integrity more rigidly insisted upon and more honored than in the cities of Charleston, Savannah. Mobile and New Orleans, when the real men of the south had cautrol of affairs, and before the days of carpet-bagging and Military interference.

Tha time has again come when the true men of the South should, as I believe they can and will, restore the old regime of high personal character, and at once speak, plainly and sensibly as of yore, in favor of such a policy of admiration as shall lead to the substitution of a sound-curren-cy. convertible at the will of the holder into gold or silver coin. uch a policy announced by them will instantly give confldenc to those who own capital or who control capital, and we should witness the quick reward of such proofs of wisdom and sound policy in the abundant supply of money upon mortgage and other security, and the States of the

question of national finance and currency, which so interests and agitates the public mind at this time. I shall speak plainly as I can, and must be lJUVclo forgiven if I reassert truisms, which -nogt jmportant subject. Ever since seem, however, to be "^riookea by jogo here has existed a combination jjjgjjy who diSCUSS the subject now-a- ., m-1 A^mfniQt.rQt.inn days.

South would become

the theater of the investment of capital which now lies idle in the money center for want of confidence alone. Recent legislation in the West, in Wisconsin, and other States, and the late declarations in Ohio, have alarmed capital and will prevent its flow into these quarters, where it has heretofore gone eo freely, and will intiuce its recall whenever practicable until the citizens of these States shall take steps to reassure their creditors of their intent to gi.e due protection by law to all investments. Therefore it is that I see in the present condition of affairs aud of public sentiment the great opportunity for the restoration of the laws ot sound finance, by return to the limitations of the Federal Constitution upon the nowers of Congress in relation to this

This was not only expedient, but It was' right. It made loans easy to be obtained,because they were to be faithfully returned and the rate of interest wa3low because the risk of lending was small.

blisjine88 of tht

Under it the banking business of the entire country has been restricted to one special kind of capital, that is, the bonds of the United States Government, and the employment of all other descriptions of capital as a basis for banking has been rigidly excluded from competition. Credit has been restricted to the

form of National bank notes,

aud this has been unlawfully and unwisely taken from the States and the people, where it admittedly belonged under the usage of our Government from its foundation, and deposited under the sole aud despotic control of Congress, This was all accomplished by the passage of an act of Congress, which, under the pretext of taxing the State banking institutions for the purpose of revenue, crushed their circulation out of existence. So long as this lasts, and Congress is invested with the power and sole discretion to determine and control the volume of currency—the extent of emissions of paper curren cy for all the States and people—just so long uucertatnty and dissatisfaction will prevail, and the sound and true principles oi banking and credit will be disregarded.

The combination between the moneyed power of the country and Congress, gives the former a degree of influence over legislation which is Inconsistent with the public interest and hostile to popular freedom, and at the same time capital is subjected to the ignorant or capricious control of Congressional legislation, reuderiug its operations insecure aud un* stable. Is it not manifest that there is now a favorable opportunity for

the

Southern States to assist in aiding the country to return to systems of sound finance and currency under the limitations imposed by the Fed eral Constitution oyer the power o. Congress over this important subject?

The cry of Kelley, Butler, Wendell Phillips, and (alas!) here and there a Democrat, is against "money rings," "bloated bondholders," "coupon clippers," &cM and passing by for a moment the infamous nature of such appeals, such outrages upon the "law of the land," which is for the rich as well as the poor, does not .a moment's reflection make it manifest that all the profits of fluctuation in our paper money of credit—these changes in its value which are going on day by day and hour by hour, all are the cost of the laborer and consumer, and benpfit the very classes against whom Kellejr & Co. seek to excite popular and ignorant prejudice

The moneyed class have it always in their power—by the purchase or sale of gold—to raise or lower the value of paper dollar and when Kelly and Butler insist upon a con tinuance of irredeemable paper mon

ey, they play directly into the bands of the very classes they affect to assail, and perpetuate in their hands a control over the currency dangerous to the welfare of the laboring and producing classes. It is the mau whose daily toil supplies that day's needs, the man whose relianee is upon steady iudustry, to whom the fluctuation in the value of the currency in which he is paid are so full of distress and loss. That which depletes him fills the pockets of the speculative class. How wise and eloquent are the words of Webster: "Of all contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that bich deludes them with paper money." This is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man's field with the sweat ot ihe paor man's brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, exctssive taxation—these bear lightly on the most of the com munity, compared with the robberies committed by a depreciated paper money.

I feel the welfare of all our people is bound up in a proper settlement of this great question, and especially the Southern people, to whom reliel from the present unfriendly Administration at Washington which ie continually growing upon them, aud threatening even the very existance of States, is immediately and vitally important. Finance has its laws,

and

the business of the commercial world molds these laws, and the nation that refuses to conform to them must suffer just in proportion to the extent of such refusal. The currency of a country is the basis of its business, and if it consists of a money without intrinsic value—a mouey based upon credit only—and inconvertible and irredeemable at any time, it will have no value what ever outside the jurisdiction of the Government by whom it is issued, aud is totally useless to the market of the world. Therefore, being inferior in value to the money of the world, it will always depreciate, aud being depreciated it will drive out of circulation all other currency of superior value, for the obvious reason that no one will give in exchange a thing of greater value if he can obtain that which he needs for something of less value, and thus the currency of superior value will disap pear and find its way into places where it can be used as money and without loss, The law of supply and demand will control, and gold, like water, find its level. To invest a paper currency with the attribute of being a legal-tender for all debts is put to increase and intensify its power for mischief, aud does not, aud never did in all history, permanently prevent its depreciation. The power of legal-tender annexed to the note only assists, the more hopelessly, to unsettle values and demoralize all dealings between man and map. Ii our people will but read the history of this subject—in all countries—reflect upon it, and examine it by the light of experience, I feel confident they will willingly accept the counsels of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Jackson, Webster and Calhoun, and reject the modern lights afforded by Kelly and Butler and Wendell Phillips. A restoration of confidence will "inflate," in a wholesome way, because in will encourage timid capital to come out of its hiding places, and embark in enterprises which will give employmen. to labor and increase productiont Should such outlays become excessive and degenerate into speculative schemes,' they will grow and burst then "panics" will come, and then "contraction" follows the withdrawal of capital. Every era of reckless speculation is followed by a season of timorous distrust—such as now exists. Witness the wild embarkation ol capital upon vast and premature enterprises, such as the Northern Pacific R. R., in the construction of which tens of millions of dollars were buried, for this generation at least. The victims of this speculation are to be numbered by thousands. I have before me a glowing oration, by the Hon. W. D. Kelley, M. C., delivered in Philadelphia in June, 1871, inviting everybody to put their monay into this "magnificent undertaking." His promises and pictures of profit and prosperity were as abundant and confident as those to which he now seeks to allure the people of the U. S. iuto his patent "greenback bonding scheme." And the misery his oratory assisted then to produce would be terribly repeated should he again succeed in misleading his countrymen,

The wreck of railroad property which we see all over the land makes capital necessary to set them again In operation, and capital in Europe and it this country only awaits the signal of confidence.

Whenever we make it safe to invest, the money will quickly seek investment. But the main source of confidence in a man or in a people is notso much in their means of payment as in the honest will to pay. Herein is my reliance upon the ultimate prosperity of the country. /The impulsive people of the Southern State may have crude ideas of finance —may be befogged by sophisms, and misled by hazy theories in regard to "the dismal science," but I rely upon their sense of good faith and duty of standing by their plighted word. My trust i» in these homebred native qualities, and when at the close of the late dreadful struggle they re-entered the Union, and became its citizens in name, they did so under the honorable pledge of fidelity to the Government. Believing this, and trusting them because I love them with a love that casteth out fear," I would, from the day of their re entry into the citizenship of the Union, have delegated to thorn their full share of political power, coupling wifh it a moral responsibility for the public welfare. For if the men of the South lack honor and truth, where shall we look for them? If tbey lack truth and honor, may Heaven have mercy upon them and us! For we have compelled them to a Union that must prove fatal.

No, my friends in these years of misguided "reconstruction" I have steadily vouched for the good faith of the people of the South, and asked only that they should be permitted to get upon their feet, to resume their place in the Union—to speak freely with their own voice, and through

their own representatives. And every pledge I made for them tbey have kept, and every promise I made has been fulfilled just in proportion to the relaxation of the grasp of military power from their throats and the withdrawal of inimical interference with their local affairs. Whenever they have bt-en allowed to rehabilitate their States and save themselves from negro denimation, from Virginia to Texas, they have justified the expectation of their friends and overwhelmed with confusion the prophecies of their toes. Public opinion in the North has at last recognized this truth and compelled Williams to depart from the Department of Justice branded as a malicious slander, and taught even Morton that his "bloodv shirt" may prove to him a shirt of Nessus.

And now I appeal to every mau among you—and to none so confidently aud directly as to those who risked their lives in battle for the independence of the Southern States from this Government—crown your pledge of citizenship with a new proof of fealty—put under foot the dangerous methods of assault upon the Cicdit and prosperity of our common couutry which are contained, intentionally or iguorantly, but always certainly, in measures which involve a violation of the recognized laws of finance which the commercial world adopts forits Government. Eschew the plans and schemes of Kelley, Butler and Phillips, and stand by and iusist upon a restoration of the staudard of value in our dealings as the basis of our currency. State or Federal, public or private, according to the powers delegated to Congress under the Constitution of our fathers. I do not say a day can atonre be fix*d upon which the United States Treasury can announce its ability to pay all outstanding de mand notes in coin—but a system can be inaugurated looking directly to that result, which will make resumption an early possibility.

A man can not be sure he will be in health on a given day next year, but he can live according to the laws of healt h, and the result will naturally foliow. Let us have good will and 'mutual kindness restored between the sections—ungenerous sus picions banished, and trust in each other restored among our countrymen an Administration at Washington friendly to the South as well as to the other sections of the couutry, a sound economy in raising and expending public revenue honesty, old fashioned and precise, in administration, and a declared policy of restoring a specie basis for the money of our people, and we may then look for a tide toset in. bearing confidence upon its bosom—"contraction" will become "expansion," and prosperity smile agaiii upon us and our chil dreu's children in a union of coequal States. Sincerelv your friend.

International Lesson

Topic-J esus the King.

33. Then Pilate entered into the judgement ball again, and called Jc sus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34. Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did oth ers tell it thee of me? 35. Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me what hast thou done? 36. Jesus auswered. My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then wonid my: servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews, but EOW is my kingdom not from hence. 37. Pilate therefore said unto him, Aatthou a king then? Jesus answered. Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hear eth my voice. 38. Pilate saith unto him, What is tjutb? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find iu him no fault at all.—John xvii, 33-38.

There are not a few profound difficulties in the meanings of this lesson. We shall do well to let modesty have her perfect work in our judgement of the men and motives which move before us. teS

PRELIMINARY POINTS.

was the depths of the night before our Lord ceased speaking and craving with bis fainting and frightened followers in the "upper-room." Then he withdrew at once and went with them, following across the city and Kedron to

dark

Gethsemane. In

the midst of his mysterious agony the betrayer of his band broke in upon him, and drew him before Caiaphas, the chief priest of the Jews.

The record of this preliminary proceeding is commenced by the cowardly denial of Peter, and continued bv the false swearing of suborued witnesses, and concluded by the utter coufounding of them all by the calm and convincing attitude and testimony of Jesus to his divine claims. The charge of blasphemy, though fiercely made and fully believed by the Jews, did not color the Savior's cheek with a tinge of shame. That it did not must have been due to the deepest infamy, or to the divine innocence of the prisoner at the bar.

The morning dawns, and, as tne cray light falls on the court, we see Jesiis, the KinV, being led by force, amid flying curses and abuses, jrono the court by the Jews, under Caiaphas, to the heathen power represented by Pilate.

Aud they were wild in their demand for bis jurisdiction. They had a prisoner whose euilt deserved death, and Ro man law would uot allow the subject J'ws to execute such a penalty. However, with the particular matter of their charge, that Je^us claimed to be the Son of God. Pilate cared nothing, and would have ins'antly dismissed the case had n| Mmething added to clinch the indictmeut. Hecce in the racket and raving out there in the court-yard, some one cries, Luke xxiii.2. "This feliow is guilty of sedition, treason aud rebellion." Now Pilate goes

History also holds him up as tyrannical and corrupt in the administration of law and power. A careful review of all available authority gives us no place to rest a good opiniouof Pilate, nor reason^ to withhold our condemnation of his character. He was a heathen by birth and a bad man by breeding perfidious in politics, arid pitiles and impious in public and in private life.

standing before the judge is an emaciated, weary man. He has not a penny in his poeket, nor a sword at bis command, nor a single follower with courage enough to face danger for his sake. The disciples had fled. And yet here Jesns stands accused as one who is about to overthrow the Roman throne.

THE EXAMINATION.

So Pilate puts the question: "Art thou the king er theJtws?" Take in the contrast of

prisoner

meaning. "Do I look like one who ambitious to usurp a sceptre?" Surely you do not ask this of your— elf. You^must eee the absurdity of snch au assumption. But, "perhabs others tell it thee of me."—v. 34. "Perhaps, Pilate yon have|been told that the Jews have been expecting a king to korae about this time and you may have heard that I have made a claim of universal dominion iu my trial before Caiaphas."—Matt, xxvi 134. And now I tell you (verse 36 of the lesson) that my kingdom is not of this world etc.

Then Pilate rages, saying (verse "o) What care I for the absurd notion of you Jews about your nation's coming glory? "Am la Jew?" "How should I have any interest in your jabbering about signs and prophecies?" "All I know is (verse 35) that your own natiou has deliyered you to me, as onei who stirs up sedition, plots treason, and threatens this throne of Csesar.

Now therefore tell me (verse37) art thou a king?" Quick as tongue could speak, aud straight as au arrow, comes the brave answer, "To this end was I born." And yet, while a king, my dominion is to be only over the heaata of men- I came to Set up a kingdom of truth to tell the world concerning (jot! aud salvation. Look abroad, Pilate, upon the dying light and corruption there is over the alter and religion of greece, Egypt, Assyria and Rome and then turn to me and my mission which means a revelation and redemption for the whole world. „Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice. If we have had the true conception of the parties and point of examination thus far, tnen the memorable, last question (verse 38) of Pilate was pur in impatience and dispair, "Fuge," says the judge "it is just a continuence of the hair-splitting, and speculating to to which the Scribes are leading all you Jews to indulge. Among such confusion aud endless (Questioning "What is truth?" pray. I dismiss the case. And when he had said this," ect.—v. 38.

Many persons suppose Pilate's conscience was touched, and the injury (v. 38) sprung from a good inspiration. Possibly, but we have no intimation, much less proof. But of one thing Pilate bore a testimony that we hear with joy: "I find no fault with him." The charge breaks down. Yea, more he is actually foultless.

The precious Lamb of God, led almost immediately away to his cross, had no sins. And yet the Lord laid upon him the iniquity of us all. A sinless Savior died for sinners. And our salvation depends entirely upon our sense of sinfulness and helpfuluess, ahd willingness to submit to him In order to be saved.
