Tine PEBIJC FAITH AXD THE PCBI.IC DEBT.
I Thr maintenance of pnblic faith is a nation
al necessity. Nations dn not and cannot safe,
ly accumulate money* to be used at a future
day, andcxigencies'are constantly occurring
in which-the richest and most powerful are
under the necessity of horrowlntr. The rnil-
leniai days, when nations shall heat their
swords into plowshares anil their spears into
pruning-h’ooks, and learn war no more, arc
vet, according to all existing' indications, furl
I 111 the future. Weak and defaulting nations
I may maintain a nominally independent exist
ence, but it will be by reason of the jealousies,
rather than the forlitanmce of strouter pow
ers. No nation is absolutely safe which is not
inn condition to defend itself; _ nor can it he
in this condition, no matter libw strong.in
other respects, without a well-established fi
nancial credit. Nations cannot, therefore, af
ford to be unfaithful to their pecuniary obli
gations. Credit to them, as to individuals,
is money; and money is the war power of the
age. But for the unfaltering confidence of the
people of the loyal States in the good faith of
the government, the late rebellion would have
Ijevn a success, and this great nation, so rap- l
idly becoming again united and harmonious,
would bavc been broken into weak and bellig
erent fragments.
But tin. public faith of the United States
lias higher -.onsidcrations than these lor its
support. It io*ts not only upon the interests
of tbe people, bit upon their integrity and
virtue. The debt of the United States has
licen created by the people in their successful
struggle for undivided.<md indivisible na
tionality. It is not a dclx imposed upon
willing subjects by despotic »>thority, but
one incurred by tbe people themsAvcs for tbe
preservation of tlieir government—l,y tlie
preservation of which, those who have been
leagued together for its overthrow urtto lb^l
as really benefited as those who have b«u
battling for its maintenance. As it is a debt
voluntarily incurred for tho common good,
its burdens will bo cheerfully borne by the
people, who will not permit them to ho pcr|
manent, .
The pnblic debt of the United States rep-1
resents a portion of tho accumulated wealth
of the country. While it is a debt of the
nation, it becomes the capital of the citizen.
The means of the merchant, tlie manufacturer
and farmer, and also those of tlie working
man and the soldier, have been literally in
vested in it; and it is an interesting fact—a
practical evidence of the great resources of
the coUntry-r-that so large an amount of their
wealth could be loaned by the people to the
governrffent without embarrassing industrial!
pursuits. Notwithstanding more than $3,-1
000,000,000 of the means of tbe people of the
United States have been thus loaned, no
branch of useful industry has suffered by the
investment. ’ ’
It is undoubtedly true that, if flic wealth
which has been invested in tbe United States
secnritica could have been employed in agri-
cultnro, in commerce, in mining and manu-
factnres—in opening farms and the better im
provement of those already under cultivation
in Imilding railroads and "ships, in working
the mines, and in increasing tlie varieiy and
amount of our manufactures—the nation
would have been far in advance of what it
now is in material prosperity. But it is also
true, that, notwithstanding the large invest
ments by the people of the United States in
the securities ot tlieir govemment-^notwith-
standing, also, more than two millions of men
in tbe Northern States alone, were, for longer
shorter periods, in the military service, and
| least 700,000 tor a good part of the time
the war continued were constantly under arms
—and notwithstanding tlie immense waste of
life, consequent upon operations so extensive
and battles so sanguinary a3 characterized
this memorable struggle, the larger part of
tlie country, has still, since 1860, progressed
both in wealth and population. The loyal
Statc3 liavo advanced in material prosperity
in spite' of the great drain thnt has been made
upon them; and now that the war is elosed
the Union is no longer-in peril, and the men
that made the armies on both sides so cffcc-

The Secretary would be gratified if the
Tressury could be put at once in a condition
to obviate the necessity of Issuing any more
certificates of indebtedness, or raising money
Of any kind of temporary loans; but lie may,
for a short period, be obliged to avail him
self of any means now 1 authorized by law for
meeting current expenses and other proper
demands upon tlic Treasury.
Oftho debt falling due in 1867 and 1868,
9830,000 000 consist of 7 3-10 notes. It may
bo regarded as premature to fund any con
siderable amount of these notes within tlic
next y«ar; but in view of tho fact that they
are convertible into bonds only at the pleas-
urc *5° holders, it wiU: be evidently
prudent for Congress to authorize the

turity.
The Secretary has already recommended
that he be authorized to sell bonds of tho
United States, hearing interest at -» rate not
exceeding six per cent, for the purpose of re
tiring Treasury notes and United States notes,
lie further recommends that he be authorized
to sell, in liis discretion, bonds of a similar
character to meet any deficiency for the pres
ent fiscal year, to reduce the temporary loan
by sucli an amonnt as lie may deem advisa
ble, to pay the certificates of indebtedness as
they mature, and also to take up nnv portion
of the debt maturing prior to 1809 that can
be advantageously retired. It is not proba
ble that it will be advisable, even if it could
be done without pressing them upon the mar
ket, to sell a much larger uinouut of bonds
within the present or the next fiscal year than
will be necessary to meet any deficiency of
the Treasury, to pay the past due and matur
ing obligations of the government, and a
part of tlie temporary loan, and to retire an
amount of tho compound interest notes and
United States notes sufficient to bring back
the business of the country to a healthier
condition. But no harm can result from in
vesting the Secretary with authority to dis
pose of bonds, if the condition of tlie market
will justify it, in order to anticipate the pay
ment of those obligations that must soon be
provided for.
When the whole debt shall be put in sucli
a form that the interest only can lie demand
ed, until the government slinll be ill a condi
tion to pay tho principal, it can be easily
managed. It is undeniably large, but the
resources of the country arc even now ample
to carry and gradually to reduce it; and with
the labor question at the South settled on
terms just to the employer and the laborer,
and with entire harmony between the difler-
ent sections, it will he rapidly diminished in
burden and amount, by the growth of the
five and formidable, are to be again employ- j country, without an inert- w ('('taxation,

of the country—even ifa temporary reaction,! would be required to pay tlie national-debt,
os the result of the war, and tlic redundancy (it funded at five per
of the currency, shall be experienced—will
be decided and resistless.
True .debt is large, but if kept at home, as
it is desirable it should be, with a judicious
system of taxation it need not be oppressive.
It is, however, a tlejit. While it is Capitalto j t

By the terms and condition of some portion
of the debt, the intcrc>t on the whole cunn-.t

money may be borrowed, at some stage of the

than cover !8e excess the probability ,,,
which fully warrants the calculation su’-mii

rate.
It must be observed, also, that the assumed

It ha, been estimated by one who has made
this subject a study, that the products of ag
riculture, manufactures, mining, uiwhinie
arts, commerce, fisheries and forests, in tlic
year 1850, were as 28.9 per cent of the vain,
of the real uud personal property of the
