Savannah News and Herald. BY S. W. MASON. SAMUEL W. MASON, Editor, \V. T. THOMPSON, Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. LARBEST CIRCULATION IN THE CITY AND COUNTY 'SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1806. HOW TOJIESUME SPECIE PAYMENTS. An article with this title, from the pen of A. G. Hazard, of Peach Dale, R. L, has ap. peared in the Merchant’s Magazine for April. It contains several novel and ingenious views, besides an effectual refutation of Mr. John D. Van Buren’s plan of resuming specie pay ments without contraction. Those who are curious in such speculations will remember that Mr. Van Buren’s scheme of resumption without contraction, is simply to reduce the price of gold by elevating the value of paper money, instead of reducing the volume of the latter. The writer of the article con conclusively shows that Mr. Van Buren’i scheme would prove a nullity—would leav j?o!d and paper precisely' as they are in rela tive value. But in his own speculations he gives utterance to several views which merit ribtice from their novelty. He says: In our case the whole actual cost of the ir was. a loss incurred and consummated in annihilation of just so much of the . national wealth as was expended. Thia is.’ irretrievably gone, and equally so whether,* tb# cost was defrayed by direct taxation on tb$ product of labor and the accumulated capital of the country, or by hiring a portion of |he product and capital for a term of years. Fortunately we had, at the beginning of the war, just made very large provision in the form of railroads and other machinery and appliances to facilitate production, and thus aided, we in fact paid the whole expenses of the war as they accrued from the spare pro duct of our labor. A very small portion of our bonds (probably not over five per cent, of the whole cost of the war), went abroad, but as we, at the same time, reduced our previous foreign indebtedness by' a larger amount, we may assume that our war expen ses were thus paid from our current spare earnings. ” There is no one who will dispute the propo sition “tliat the whole actual cost of the war was a loss incurred and consummated in the annihilation of so much of the national wealth as was expended,’’ but the second branch of the same proposition is much more disputable, that the effect is the same, “whether the cost was defrayed by direct tax ation on the product of labor and the ac cumulation of capital, or by hiring a portion of the product and capital for a term of years.” An assessment on capital by a direct tax withdraws from productive uses both the means of renewing the existing stock of tools, machinery, and raw material and the funds for the maintenance of labor, while by “hiring a portion of the product of laborand capital” (in other words borrowing) only ab stracts from present employment the surplus of loanable capital, which is seeking invest ment. If there is no further room for the remunerative employment of capital—if all Its avenues are filled—we grant the effect would be identical whether a loan or direct taxation should defray the cost of war, but war always releases capital from active em ployment, and renders a portion of it dispo sable. •It is estimated that we expended, as Mr. Hazard terms it, of our “spare earnings’ during the war, about SI, 000,000,000 per an num, which would make our aggregate ex penditure for the five years of the war S5,000,000,000. If we add to this S3.000,- 000,000, the amount of our funded and float ing debt, it will show that we expended of our “spare earnings” about S8,000,000,000. Vow let us imagine this sum raised by direct' taxation, instead of $3,000,000,000 by loan, and we shall comprehend the difference of raising eight thousand millions and between two and three hundred millions, the amount of.our present internal tax-w On another point the writer in the Mer chant’s Magazine differs with most writers in his views of a foreign loan and foreign in. debtedness. He say's: “By the transfer of our debt to foreigners to pay our current expenses, the estate of this generation will pass to the next charged with the debt to the Government, and the THE GREAT SOUTHERN RAIURUAD.

The estate is still charged with debt, bqt there is no bond of the creditor to balance it.” “It is to be apprehended that the existence oi the government bonds, making a ready »ad convenient mode of paying for enhanced expenses in living, now occasions the squan dering of at least a portion of our earnings, which would otherwise be added to our accu mulated wealth; and to this point I would especially iir’ite public attention. If the government bonds are used to pay our for eign balances, gold is thereby thrown out of use, and this may account for the fact that it is below 150, while other article*, the uses of wliich are not diminished, average nearly 200. If everybody made bread of Indian com at SI per bushel, wheat might fall from its relative price of $2 to SI 50, and the sup ply of com being sufficient, so remain for a long time. The supply of our bonds is suffi cient to pay our foreign balances for a long time, even though our imports should be ex” cessive. * * » » * * * “It seems now exceedingly probable that our national consumption requires a large transfer ot bonds to pay foreign producers. Our imports are large compared with the exports of our products, ami yet gold and ex change are low compared with the prices of other tljiugs. “’1 he existence of the national debt, then, in a torm available for foreign payments, may thus become the ready and seductive means of our impoverishment.' If we must or will sei! these bonds abroad, it is still perhaps de sirable to get as much as possible in return lor them; for all hough a large part of the price may be received in that which is of no or little intrinsic value, wliich merely pan ders to a false taste or ignoble pride, some portion may directly or indirectly add to our substantial wealth.” It would appear from these extracts that the writer is averse to foreign loans, from the fact that they are the means of “promo ting private extravagance,” that if we fall in debt for foreign merchandise it may lead to our national “impoverishment.” We have paid tribute, according to the phrase of the Protectionist, to those who have supplied us with silks and lace*, and other luxuries from the first settlement of this country, and who have a greater abundance of capital and su periority of skill to ourselves, and We have gone on adding to our population, extending our agriculture and embellishing our cities. It is evident that Mr. Hazard is one of that school of Protectionists that seems willing to employ repressive legislation, to make our imports balance ouc exports. As regards the policy of negotiating pub lic loans in foreign countries, it is expedient or not accordiug-oio circumstances. The same necessity that compelled the govern ment to issue an irredeemable paper money compelled it to borrow abroad the funds that were absolutely necessay to maintain large armies and formidable fleets. And, grant ing the necssity, we can see decided benefit in borrowing abroad at 6 or 6 per cent, to negotiating loans at 10 per oent. at home, nor can we perceive the disadvantage of having 5-20 s to draw- against, in payment of our Imports, thus keeping down the rate of foreign exchange, the export of our gold aud the price of imported merchandise! which an unfavorable exchange invariably throws on the consumers of that merchan dise. wn—ting adjourn ad.
