clear type, in
amply secured by doposits of govern
fnent bonds mid redeemable by tlie
government if the banks fail. With
tliis rectification Sir Francis Iliucks 1
plan might be worth a trial. By
suppressing all the greenbacks below
$50 or $100 and requiring the nation
al banks to keep a considerable pro
portion of their reserves in green
backs, they might perform a useful
office in our currency after the re
sumption of specie payment-. This
plan would economize the use of
gold. It would render resumption
more easy and probably niore safe by
preventing severe drains on tho bank
reserves under a heavy foreign de
mand for gold. But would it not lie
simpler to reduce the greenbacks to
n fixed moderate sum, but permit
them to be issued in all denomina
tions, as at present ? •- If legal tender
notes are to be retained it would be
expedient to allow the banks to re
deem their own notes in them, which
they oould not very well do on Sir
Francis Hincks' plan. A man bring
ing a ten or twenty dollar note to a
bank ior redemption would ordinarily
prefer a government note of the same
denomination. There would, un
doubtedly, be a larc economy of gold
in retaining some $250,000,000 or
$300,000,000 of greenbacks, requiring
the banks to keep two-thirds of the
* reserves against deposits in greenbacks
and allowing them to redeem their
own circulation in government notes
Os this plan we could maintain specie
payments with less than half the
amount of gold that wonld be required
the wo: st remedy that could be de
vised for tlie evil.
This reduces the workingmen to a state
of mere slavery, where the bullet and
the bayonet of the soldier come in
place of the overseer’s lash. If they
submit, they will be fit instruments to
make slaves of us all. If they resist,
civil war will become the chronic con
dition of the couDtiy. The United
States have no right to intermedle
with this business except in certain
contingencies, well defined and careful
ly provided for in the Constitution.
The old excuse that these limits ought
to be disregarded’because they confine
the powers of certain persons within
limits inconveniently narrow, is not
one which ought to find acceptance in
the judgment of a free people. But if
the General Government must settle
the controversies between the railroad
corporations and their laborers, let its
interference take any shape but that of
a standing army; for that would be
not only cruel and dangerous, but the
most expensive that could be adopted.
believe none of these corporations
think that less than p hundred thou
sand men would serve their purpose;
and that this is a gross miscalculation,
for three times the number would
hardly he sufficient. It would be much
better, easier and cheaper to take out
of the Federal Treasury as much
money as will pay the railroad em
ployees fair wages and let the corpora
tions have the fruits of their labor as
dear gain. Of course, I don’t say
that, we ought to be taxed to free the
railroad companies from the burden of
payi ng for the labor they employ, so
that they may increase their profits or
be saved from losses, but we had bet
ter do that than worse.
