He Discusses the Question of the Public Debt of the Country,
And Shows How Much the Debt and th9 Interest has Been Reduced.
A Hopeful and Thoughtful lie view of the Situation.
(We present below the speech made by President Hayes, at the agricultural fair, in St. Paul, Thursday. It is the most argumentative address made by liitn since he has been president. It is worthy the attention of the reader.—
GAZEBTE.
THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. Fellow-citizens of Minnesota—I wish to make my sincere acknowledgments to the Governor of Minnesota,- Governor I'illsbu'-y to the mayor of -St. Paul, Mayor Dawson to the president of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society, Mr. George French, and to those associated with them, and to the people of this State whom they represent, lor their kind and generous welcome. I know very well that nothing which I can do or say will be a fitting and adequate return (or your ki.idness, but I earnestly desire to say something touching the material interests of the country, which will tend, at least, to encourage those who need encouragement, and to give increased hope to those who are already hopeful, which now engage the attention of the people of the United States are those which relate to the financial condition oi the country. Since the financial panic .and collapse five years ago, capital and labor and business capacity have found it .hard to get profitable employment. We have had what is commonly and properly •known as hard times. In such times unen naturally ask, What can be done? How long is this stagnation of business 4o last? Are there any facts which indicate an early return better times? I wish to ask your attention tor a few minutes while I present some facts and figures which show a progressive improvement in the financial condition of the general government. It will be tor you to consider what inferences may fairly .be drawn as to their bearing on the ques"tion of a revival of business prosperity 'throughout the country. The financial condition of the government of the
United States is shown by its debt, its receipts and Expenditures, the currency, and the state of trade with foreign countries. Let us consider the present state of the public debt. The ascertained debt reached ita highest point soon after the -close of the war, in August, 1S65, and amounted to
$2,75768957I•43•
ln
addition to this, it was. estimated that there w« re enough unadjusted claims against the government of unquestioned validity to swell the total debt 10 $3,000,000,000. How to deal with this great burden was one of the gravest questions which pressed for decision as a result of -the war. It will be lemembered that in important speeches and in the public •press the opinion was confidently declare ed that the debt could never be paid that great nations nexer did pay their war debt? that our debt would be like that of England—permanent, and a burden upon ourselves and our posterity for all time. Some advocated and many feared repudiation. There were those also who thought a national debt a national blessing. Fortunately, however, the eminent gentleman at the head of the Treasury, ^lr. Hugh McCuiloch, did not hold these views. He believed, and the people believed, that the debt was not a blessing, but a burden, and that it ought to be and could be honestly paid. The policy adopted was to reduce the debt, and thereby strengthen the public credit, so as to refund the debt at lower rates of interest. And now I give you the results. The debt has been reduced until now it is only ^2,03^,580,324.85. This is a reduction, as compared with the ascertained debt thirteen years ago, of$722,100,246.5s. More than onefourth of the debt has been paid off in thirteen years. If we compare the present debt with the actual debt thirteen years ago—placing the actual debt at $3,000,000,000—the reduction amounts to aoout fx,000,000,^00, or one-third of the, total debt. Thus, it has been demonstrated that the United States can and will pay the national debt.
Encouraging as are these facts, they 3o not fully show the progress made in relieving the country froin the burden of the war debt. All who have to borrow anoney to carry debts know the importance of the question of interest. The to* tal amount of interest-bearing debt at the time it reached its highest point, the 31st of August, 1865, was as follows: Four per ecnt. bonds $ 818,127 98 five percent, bonds 269,175,.27 (JS Six per cent, bonds I,0t4,il2,27» 83 7 8-10 United States notes b8\UAj,0v0 00 Compoundinterest notes, 8 per cent 217,024,160 00
Totalintcreat-beariiuidel*..f2,8Si,53t,i»4 -fdio total annual interest 4 charge ainounwd to 150,977,697 84
This was an oppressive burden. For interest alone we were paying more than double the total current expenses of the government in any year *of peace prior to the war for the Union. With sich a burden for interest it is ,, not strange that many believed that the debt could never be paid. But, as we have seen, a better opinion prevailed.
Those wbo believed that by strengthening the national credit the ratea ot interest might be reduced were sustained by
the public judgement. The ability and the purpose to pay the debt accordiug to. its letter and spirit were demonstrated. It was seen that-the successful managerpentof the debt depended on the rates of interest to be palif that, a reduction of 1 per cent on our whole interest-bearing debt would be If yearly saving in interest pf over
$.20,000,000
that a reduction of
per cent. In the rate of interest would save to the country over
which ia the interest at 4 per cent on
$1,000,000,000.
The policy of reducing the debt and thereby strengthening the public credit having been adopted, let us observe the result in ths present condition of the public debt with respect to interest. The total interest bearing debt, August 1,1878, waa as follows: Three per cent, navy pension fund $ 14,000,000 Four per cent, bonds 12,850,000 Four and a half per cents 246,000,000 Five per cents 703,266,650 Six per cents ,, 733,561,250
Total present interestbearing debt $1,809,677,900. The interest on which amounts to the sum of $95,181,007.50 per annum. It thus appears that in thirteen years the interest-bearing debt has been reduced from $2,331,539,296.96 to $1,809,677,900 again in the amount of the interest bearing debt of $571,852,394 97. The reduction of the annual interest charge is $55,796,690.34, or more than 50 per cent, of what we now pay. If the reduction of annual interest were placed in a sinking fund at 4 per cent, interest it would pay off the whole debt in less than twentyfive years. There has been another gratifying and important improvement in the state of the public debt. A few years ago our bonds were largely owned in foreign countries. It is estimated that in 1871 from $800,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 were held abroad. We then paid from $50.oco,ooo to $60,000,000 annually to Europe for interest alone. Now the bonds are mainly held in our own country. It is estimated that five-sixths of them are held in the United States, and only one-sixth abroad. Instead of paying to foreigners $50,000,000, we now pay them only about $12,000,000 or $15,000,000 a year, and the interest on our debt is mainly paid to our own citizens. It appears from what has been shown that since the close of the war, since the panic of five years ago, there has been a great change in the condition of the debt. The change has been one of improvement. 1. The debt has been greatly reduced. 2. The interest to be paid has been greatly diminished. 3. And it is to be paid at home instead of abroad.
The burden of the taxation has been reduced since 1S66, the first year after the war, as follows:
The taxes in 1866 were— Customs $179,040,051 58 Interna) revenue.. 809,2*«,«l8 i'J "jr.i av 1488,273,405 00

In 1865 the paper currency of the eountry consisted of Greenbacks S182 757,604 National bank notes 176,218,1)55 Fractional curre.tcy 26,344,742 Ola demand notes 4U2.V65 'Treasury notes,compound interest notes, and State bank notes,estimated. 100,030,000

Total |687,748,168 77 Each do lar of paper currency is now woi-th 993^ cents in coin, and the total valu in coin of our paper currency is more than $684,000,000. The value of the paper dollar is as stable as that of coin. Coin and paper are practically abreast of each other. The fluctuation in the value of the paper dollar has not in the last five months exceeded the fraction of acent.
The total increase in the coin value of our paper currency since 1865 is about $175,000,000.
Nothing,connected with the financial affairs of the government is more interesting and instructive than the state of trade with foreign countries. The exports from the United States during the year ending June 30.1S78, were larger than during any previous year in the history of the country. From the year 1S63 to the year 1S73, the.net imports into the United States largely exceeded the exports from the United States— the excess of imports ranging from $39,000,000 to $182,000,000.
Duringthe years 1874 and 1875, the exoorts.and imports were about equal. During the years ending June 30, 1876, '77, '7b, however, the domestic exports irotn the United States greatly exceeded the net imports, the excess of exports increating rapidly lro:n jeai to year.
This is shown as follows: Excess of export* over net imports. 79,648,461 151,162,004 257,884,667

There is another interesting subject that is worth giving attention to, and I think is encouraging and full of hope. The surplus populations of the Atlantic slope of States are finding their way as they never have done before to the beautiful states and territories at the west.
Applause.] And what does that mean? It means relief to the east. The surplus population that goes off gives a better opportunity for the employment of labor and industry there and here and in the new states they are making tiieir homes and they are furnishing them a market for the supplies from the old states. But it has more than a double advantage. There are three advantages. It relieves the states it furnishes a market to the old states, and with their products in the new states thtey help to swell the tide of exports to the old countries.' Thai's what this change, of population means, and you know much more about it than I do. You have lived here and seen it. To-day, in conversation with a very young gentleman, Governor Ramsey, of Minnesota [great laughter and applause1!—1 thought that some of the people would be pleased to hear me call him so young [laughter]—he remembered about thirty years ago when in this whole territory of Minnesota atid Dakota they managed by counting up halfbreeds and all sorts of good counting, to make(iri the census4,500 people. [Laughter.] *In rhis town ot St. Paul they perhaps had 150 inhabitants down in Minneapolis perhap» 50^ The precise number in Minnesota do not know, and now if you are not a million you soon will be. [Applause.J And St. Paul. Well, I can't venture upon that. I am a little afraid, but the truth is, my friends, that St. Paul and the neighboring flourishing city of inneapolis, whatever you may think, are one in interest, one in the future, one great city in spite of present difficulties. [Great and prolonged applause.] They laughed at me a little, you know, as being disposed to conciliate,

The total increase in the value of agricultural products exported from the United States in the year 1878 over the exports of the year endingjune 30. 1868. amounts to $273,471,282, or 86 per cent This is shown as follows:

Total in live years .f J54,052,607 or an average of pver 1110,000,00J a year. As we have already seen, the balance of trade in the last three years in favor «f the United States is $488,582,539, or an average of more than $160,000,000 a year. The balance of trade the last year, if compared with that of the two years next before the panic, shows a gain in favor of the United States, in one year, of over $400,000,000.
It is not necessary that I should dwell upon the importance of this favorable state of the balance of trade. Balances must be settled in cash—in the money of the world. The enterprises ot our business men reach out to all parts of the world. Our agricultural and manufactured products more and more seek and find their market in foreign countries. The commerce of ail parts of the world, bound together more than ever before by steamships, railroads, and telegraphs, is so connected that it must be conducted on the same principles and by the same instrumentalities by all who take part in it. We cannot if we would, we should not if we could, isolate ourselves from the rest of the commercial world. In all our measures for the improvement of our financial condition we should remember that our inceasing trade with South Amcrica and with the Old World requires that our financial system shall be based on principles whose soundness ard wisdom are sanctioned by the universal experience and the general judgment of all mankind. Willi diminished and still diminishing public burdens of debt, expenditures, and interest, with an improved condition of currency and foreign trade, we may well hope that we are on the threshold of better times. But we must not forget that he surest foundation of a restored financial prosperity is a sound -constitutional currency and unstained national credit.
Great laugnter.] I may be mistaken, but I think ten years will thow you a city of 200,000 inhabitants, embracing in its precious fold both the cities of St Paul and Minneapolis. [Great applause. And now this movement of population— what is it doing here? We see the grea States, one in the distan south, one in the centre and the other here. There is Texas, an empire in itself, receiving larger numbers of population, perhaps, than we ever received in any state whatever. There is the state of Kansas, the pioneer in the great struggle which dedicated all America to freedom and the stars and stripes forever [boisterous and
prolonged applaase], iitdahe is-haiiig^ MISCELLANEOUS her share of this prosperity. And Minnesota—I need not say, God bless Minnesota. He is blessing her [*enewed applause], and here le( us remember what
great Wlenings we ly material prosperity
Ijave. It ia not mere is not merely
great crbDs of wheat and corn and*o great itumber of cattle, bat the faces see around me show that no shadow pestilence is upon this community, or perhaps ever can be, while down your noble river affliction is spread all over that country. We admire and sympathize with the men and women who, as physicians and nurses, are carrying sue cor to Grenada and Memphis and New Orleans and the othec cities afflicted, and I am told that you of Minnesota, ot your abundance, propose to-day to do something of your share towards giving relief to those stricken communities. [Applause.] Now, my friends, with this pic ture, as I think, so full of hope tor the fu ture for you and I as individuals, I do not venture with confidence upon predictions of prosperity reviving. I have no spirit of prophecy, but reasoning togeth er, let us see how it stands. The debt is a great burden upon labor and capital It is greatly diminished, and is still dimin ishing. Taxation is a great burden upon labor and capital, and it is ereatly diminished and is greatly diminiuiing. So it is as to the expenses of the government, and then with that which helps us, a sound Currency coming, immigration coming, may I not confidently say that nil these are indications, at last, that we are marching to the threshold of reviving general business prosperity? [Great applause,] And now shall' we look around for anew way to pay old debts, or shall we march in the paths marked out by the fathers, the paths of honesty, of industiy of economy? Shall we do what Washington and Franklin would advise? That fa the question before the people to-day,. /My friends, I enter up on no argument on a disputed question, but 1 say as my opinion, we may be mistaken all of us, but I belieye it that a restored financial condition depends largely upon an honest currency. [Qreat applause.] And why do I say this? The commerce of the world is the commerce, now in which we are taking part, and that is the same. Utfn£ the globe around.
1
We have with us to-day the gentleman who is at the head of the Signal Service of the United States. He is known popularly as "OH Probabilities." [Great laughter,] He is not old, and I fear he is not always probable, [renewed laughter] but certainly in the science of meteorology he-has gone further than any of us, and what does he tell us? He says that this atmosphere of ours, the /circumambient air that surrounds the globe, is one, is a unit, and that they have discovered by observations all over the globe that a great commotion, a great disturbance on any sea or any continent sooner or later is felt on every other sea, overy continent, and so the commerce of the world is one. Where there is very hard times in one great nation sooner er later it goes clear around. We should then base our financial system on prin ciples and by instrumentalities that are sanctioned and approved by the best judgement of the whole commercial world. Then, I repeat, if we want our standard of financial prosperity to be based upon sure and safe foundations, let us remember, let us all remember, that its best security is an untarnished national credit and a sound constitutional currency. [Great and prolonged applause.]
