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.
