Want of Confidence the Evil
of the Times.
1'erhapa no previous period in the
history of this country lias witnessed
such an overthrow of public as well as
private credit, as at the present time.
Consequent upon this calamity, is an
almost universal clamor on the part
of the people for some enactment of
law which will restore confidence and
bring -bout financial security in the
commercial and general trading inter*
esls of the land.
The remedies which have been sug
gested or attempted, are of the follow
ing kinds: restrictive, protective, and
suppressive.
1 ho restrictive measure, consists in
the enactment of a “ Usury law.”—
Others, urge protection in the form
of “ Lien lawswhile some would
insist upon an entire suppression of all
credit and the establishment of a strict
cash system in every branch of trade.
Now, while we arc free and frank
to confess that great evils and necessi
ties—such as obtain in our country nt
the present time—i c piire strict, speedy,
and powerful remedies, such as might
prove somewhat at variance with the
usual appliance of the correct princi
ples of “ political economy,” yet, we
apprehend that neither the most lib
eral application of true political or
practical economy, or the real neces
sities of the present disturlicd condition
of our financial and our commercial
interests, can justify the acceptance of
any or cither of the aliovc proposed
measures as a sure means of our relief.
Who can saiely expect relief to our
financial embarrassments, or our crip
pled commerce, or our languishing in
dustries, by restricting the price of
nintiev in the hands of money-lenders,
whose high rates of interest or rather
risks, have only licen so made liy the
wild, speculative, extravagant, and
injudicious course, which has been
and is still to be seen in every channel
of business ? Has not this most un
mistakable conduct of the busincs of
our country lessened responsibility
and destroyed confidence ? Will
Usury laws supply this lack of confi
dence? Will restrictions upon the
price of money in the hands of the
capitalists who ofTer it for accoinmn-
dation, increase the responsibility of
the borrower by restricting him in the
unirisc and unjustifinhle conduct of his
business ? Will not the restriction up
on money under these circumstances,
only increase tlje risk to the lender
thereof, and to such an extent that
the real result will be to greatly incon
venience every department of business
which is nt all dependent upon the
mopey - conveniences of the country?
Thgn, hour absurd is. the adoption of
sueh a law ns in no wise meets the ne
cessities of the case, and that too, a
law which by easy and tinpreventahle
evasion, becomes simply a nullity upon
the statute hooks.
In regard to the protective or “Lien
laws” notwithstanding it may be
claimed for them that they serve ns
relief laws to the fanner and other
industrial classes, and properly used,
might so prove, yet, for the reasons
nlmve cited, they give too great a
license, too unrestrained liberty to
that extravagance, that utter want of
economy which seems to possess our
whole people and which is far from
being in keeping with our impover
ished and almost bankrupted condition.
It gives the laboring man, the strictly
industrial classes, over too entirely
into the hands of the commission men.
Invites too great a risk upon that
which is the sure foundation of their
present com tort and well-being, and
the guarding of which must be the
sure maintenance of their future well-
to-do and prosperity, as well as the
certainty of the business of those who
ask to lie sustained as the offerers of
commercial accommodations.
Now, as to those who would insist
upon a strictly cash system in every
branch of business, we have onlv to
- say, that the proposition is ton imprac
ticable to lie entertained.
It is said tint credit in political
stance, a Bank is a great emporium of
credit, which, with a certain amount
of capital, can lie used to accommodate
a whole coniinu
time, but by iwdividualfi,
requires. ,3 j fa

It is altogether essential to every civil-
.t^eil, piosperous and progressive coun
try. It is not the fault of a true sys
tem of credit whic^ causes. some to,

abuse thereof. Away with that which
is established upon a false basis 1 Down

as must serve only as a stimulant to
to that extravagance which will prove
its certain overthrow! Let praise
worthy industry and commendable
economy begin to take the place of
indolence and extravagance. Let the
skillful appliance of muscle supplant
the cunning application of wits, as a
means of livelihood. Let all our peo
ple begin to live at home and within
their means. Let the gin-houses be
converted into granaries. Let stock
farms he established. Let the sheep-
folds he cared for, and the pig-pens
looked after. Then will wealth and
prosperity not only bring happiness
and comfort, but more effectually
ledueethe price of money than “ Usury
laws.” Then will restored confidence
induce all the people to regard “ Lien
laws” only as relies of our unwise and
non-pro«perous days. Then will the
whole land rejoice in that true and
safe system of credit which is insured
by the ready availability of the capital
upon which it is based, and witli the
want of confidence no longer an evil
of the times, we can, with uplifted
hands and cheerful hearts, again boast
of our proud, prosperous and wealthy

It lias been the disposition of some
of the “ wards of the nation” habi-

“so-called” rights, granted under the

That which most interests and en
tertains visitors to our Capitol at this
time is the St itc Bureau’s of Geology
and Agriculture.
Those who take the trouble to visit
these departments and through the
courtesy of the efficient officers under
whose supervision they have been
wisely placed, are enabled to see the
already great good, in the way of our
advanced material interest which has
resulted from these establishments
must necessarily hail these inaugura
tions as but the commencement ol a
new era in our State, which if but
aided by the fostering care of our
government, will inevitably bring that
increase of wealth, that stimulated
progress, and that general advance
ment of our every interest heretofore
unknown in the history of Georgia.
While these two interests are so en
tirely blended, so absolutely correla
tive or co-operative as to induce us to
speak of them connectedly, yet at this
particular writing we would especially
call attention to the Geological depart
ment. The result of the labors of

his department, to say nothing of the an ^ or< ^ r ' n the city,
effect to attract the attention of capit
alists abroad to such a degree as already
to cause money by the thousands to
seek our State, and destined inevitably ’
to bring millions upon millions of dol
lars within our borders; will most
certainly advantage our State in a
more essential point of view, bringing
a more direct individual and protective
interest to even' citizen of our com
monwealth. For instance, the Geo
logical survey of our State will claim
as one of its finest and most salutary
results, the cquilizntinn of taxation,
the trouble in regard to which, has
done more to disturb the public mind
and to prevent the honest, just and
equitable administration of govern
ment than nnv other principle or pro
vision of law in our present form of
State government.
Otir whole system of taxation, as at
present, is based upon a merely specu
lative ot conjectural basis, and conse
quently must be, in no inconsiderable
degree unjust, and unequal to the sub
jects thereof, ns well as uncertain and
unreliable to the government, thereby
sustained. This survey must beyond
doubt place all species of property
coming within its purview, upon a
sure, just, correct and equal basis.
Then will taxation he based and assest-
ed upon the true and real valuation of
property, the sure and correct equili-
zation of which must bring justice to
lioth the government and the people.

five or thirty years have been valued,
