frunfrv, devastated ns it is by a destructive war, cannot
\iuld surplus capital for permanent investment,* as fast as
hundred dollar bills, or thousand dollar bonds, can be
man-
atfUaeai&sat
tifactnred. ,
Prior to the commencement.of the war, the surplus cap
ital of the South was invested in State Bonds, Bank Stock,
J tail road Stock, «Bonds of Corporations «£c. Since that
time, most of the surplus lias been invested in Confederate
bond's ; and our people have not now, probably the half of
.live hundred millions of dollars that they can spare, to in
vest in any securities, however desirable. This measure
Mi"ht afford partial and temporary-relief, by inducing some
capital not now employed, to seek investment in these bonds.
But ifthewargoeson,andthe Government is under the neces-
sitv of issuing two or three millious of dollars a day, of its
notes, for the next one k two, or three years, it must be ad
mitted, that we have not the capital to absorb them as fast
ns issued; and the indorsement could only cause a tempora
ry suspension of the depreciation which must follow our
over issues ; tor the ultimate payment of which, no adequate
provision is being made.
The advocates of this plan also contend, that the Gov
ernment could fund the debt at home, at a heavy premium,
in. its favor, after the indorsement, basing tfie calculation
upon the fact, that State credit is now worth a large premi
um. when compared with Confederate.
To show the fallacy of this conclusion, it is only necessa
ry to inquire, why the bonds of the individual States com
mand this premium. The debts of most of the States,
now small, compared with their resources, and their abili™
to pay ; and capitalists naturally conclude, that in case of
failure of the Confederacy, or ultimate repudiation by it,
the States would pay their individual indebtedness, resting
upon both, legal and moral objigation, in preference to their
indirect indebtedness resting upon moral obligation, with
no further legal obligation than that their people submit
to such taxation as may he imposed by Congress to raise the
money to pay the debt v Georgia’s seven per cent bonds
are said to be worth 40 per cent premium, in currency, in
the market. Why > Because her resources are great, and
her debt small. Increase her indebtedness to one hundred
millions, and her bonds will cease to command a premium.
If we adopt either of the proposed plans, her debt may
soon exceed this sum. When the States have committed
themselves to the policy, and have indorsed the present Con
federate debt, or have indorsed $-500,000,000, they must
extend their indorsements as future exigencies may, in the
opinion of the Government until*they have indors
ed all future issues to be made by the o. «ment. The
advocates of the plan will have much stronger reaso...
claiifliug the extension, when the States are once committed
to the policy, than they now have for claiming the first in
dorsement. It is like a whirlpool, from which, when the
atnres once j.iaccd themselves within its power, there
is no return. When the amount indorsed becomes, as it
soon must, an enormous sum, the effect of the indorse
ment will be, to bring down State credit, even below Con
federate credit, and not to bring up Confederate credit to
the present level of State credit.
It is again said, that the proposed State indorsement
would enable the Government to negotiate its bonds abroad,
at a premium, a id that there is a sufficiency of foreign cap
ital, to absorb all our issues. The sufficiency of capital
in that case is admitted; but the inquiry is, would the in
dorsement induce its investment in these bonds, at a pre
mium, or at par, or even near to par'?
We are engaged in a gigantic war. Our ports are block
aded. The great powers of Europe refuse, even to recognize
us as a Government. Our expenditures are enormous,
which cause our debt to accumulate rapidly, and we are
not collecting taxes sufficient to pay interest; much less to
create a sinking fund for the ultimate extinguishment of
the principal. In this state of things, foreign capitalists
refuse to invest in Confederate securities, and the credit of
the individual States is far below par in foreign markets.
How then is it to be reasonably expected, that the indorse-
ment.ol the Confederate bonds bv the States, will give
them a value in foreign markets, which is attached to neither
the credit of the Confederacy, nor of the individual States ?
While the war and the blockade last, and while we refuse
to submit to taxation sufficient to retire a reasonable pro
portion of our paper issues, it is vain to expect that we can
lund the debt abroad, without the most ruinous sacrifice, no
matter how often the paper is indorsed by the parties now
morally bound for its payment.
-But it may be said, if the States are now morally bound
for the payment of the debt, and their people are legally
bound to submit to the necessary tax for that purpose, when
imposed by the Confederate Government, why not indorse
the bonds, and let the States take upon themselves the di
rect legal obligation to pay. To my mind, there are very
obvious reasons why it should not be done.
While the Constitutional obligation rests upon the peo
ple of the States, to submit to the taxation imposed by
Centrex*, to pay the debts of the Confederacy,-the Consti
tution imposes upon Congress, which is the power that cre
ates the liability, the sole responsibility of devising the
means, and assessing the taxes, necessary to discharge the
obligation. This is as it should be. The power in the Gov
ernment that creates the debt, should have resting upon it,
the sole responsibility of providing the means for its pay
ment, and of imposing the taxes for that purpose which
may be necessary. The people then know how to hold
tbcitagents to a proper accountability. *
Suppose, however, the States indorse, the debt, and
rndeut at nia-
does not
respousih'iity to assess the tax, to meet it.
What follows? The States to maintain their individual
credit, must themselves assess, and collect the tax, and
make the payment. Congressmen finding that they could
iu this way avoiu an unpleasant responsibility, and retain
their places with less difficulty, would, after having contrac
ted the debt, when pay day caiue, turn over the responsi
bility to the I egisl attires of the States. Thus we should have
one Government to spend the money, and another charge
able with the responsibility of raising it. Congress would
then occupy, very much the position of the rich man’s prod
igal son at college, who, having no responsibility about
footing the bill at the end of the year, feels very little con
cern aboat the size to which it accumulates.
Again, sad experience has shown us, that the tendency
of our Government, is to consolidation, and that the cen
tral Government is ever ready to usurp as much undelcga-
te3 power, as the States will consent to lose. As the cen
tral Government grows stronger, the States grow weaker,
and their just rights are disregarded. Now. I cam imagine
no one act of the States, that will tend so much to strengthen
the central Government, at the expense, to them, of the
loss of jtlieir just powers, as the adoption of the policy now
proposed, which binds them individually, to provide for the
payment of all the debts which Congress may choose to
contract, but may not be willing to impose the taxes to pay.
The consummation of the poficy is the complete consolida
tion of the Government, making the States the mere bur
den bearers of the central superior.
I may be met here, with the remark often made, that it
is no time now to defend the rights of States, or to maintain
principles. State Rights, and Constitutional principles arc
the samejn times of war as in times of peace ; and should
be maintained at all times, and under all circumstances.
Power once usurped, with acquiescence,is never relaxedbut
at the point of the bayonet; and we should not forget, that
rights surrendered in war, are never regained in peace. We
should therefore do no act tending to destroy the States in
one grand consolidation, and lay the foundation of a central
despotism upon their ruins.
Having given some of the reasons which satisfy my
mind, that the hopes entertained by the advocates of State
indorsement, that the adoption of their policy would retire
the excess of the currency, and reduce it to a healthy con
dition, are entirely delusive, I may be asked if there is no

vve cannot raise money by indirect taxation upon imports,
we have uo alternative left but direct taxation. As long
as we attempt to conduct this war, ami maintain our armies
upon paper promises alone, we must expect to endure all
the evils of depreciated credit, inflated currency, and high
prices.
European Governments are already convinced by the gal-
Miiu a. j , n f our armies, that we can never be .conquered
as long as we c.. , , maintil5n these armies; but
they very well understand', t ^neial question un
derlies, and is the foundation upon wliien _
turn is built. Thus far our policy has been such, as
ford them but little evidence, that this is with us u sure
foundation. Whenever vve have convinced them, that we
are prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to establish a
safe and permanent financial system, we may expect both
recognition and credit. Till we have done this, vve cannot
reasonably expect either.
Again, we lose almost nothing by submitting to the
taxation necessary to pay the interest, and create a sink
ing fund upon the gold basis. Whenever this becomes
the settled policy of the Government, the depreciation
is very nearly stopped, and the currency left in our hands
is worth almost or quite as much, as all vve had, was
worth before we paid the tax. To illustrate : The me
chanic lias one hundred dollars of Confederate Treasury
notes. He wishes to purchase a good cow and calf, and he
finds it will take the whole sum to pay for them. The cur
rency is still depreciating, and at the end of the next three
months it may take one hundred and twenty-five dollars to
make the purchase. At this point, suppose the Govern*
ment assesses a tax of five per cent, to establish the policy
above indicated, and lie is required to pay live dollars of
his hundred to the Collector, The effect of this is to ab
sorb that much of the over issue, and to give confidence in
the ultimate redemption of the whole. This will at once
stop the decline in the value of the notes, and may cause
them to appreciate. The consequence will be, that he can
probably purchase the same property with the ninety-five
dollars which remain in his hands after the payment of the
tax. In a word, by paying back part of the redundant
currency into the Treasury, we atop the depreciation of its
value, and leave the balance in circulation, worth as much
in the purchase of property as the whole was worth before
the tax was paid. But suppose the tax to be burdensome, I TnPsday t08h
and to absorb a large proportion of our surplus income. I 3u Monday, Glynn
Is this a reason why it should not be collected ? We must
submit to burdens, and make heavy sacrifices to sustain the
government, maintain our credit, and support our armies ;
or all we possess must go down together in a crash, and
involve us and our posterity in one common ruin.
Before closing my remarks upon this subject, I beg leave
to express my firm conviction, that the policy advocated by
some of assuming the Confederate tax, when assessed, and
adding it to the debt of the State, instead of collecting it,
has already been carried as far as wise statesmanship or the
exigencies of the times will permit. It is simply shifting
the burden from one shoulder to the other. Or, in other
words, it is an attempt, in another form, to conduct the
war upon paper, without its costing us anything. V\ e have
no right to turn over all the burdens of the present gener
ation to posterity. This would be as contrary to justice
and sound principles as it would be for Congress to contract
the debt and turn over to the State governments the re
sponsibility of providing the means for its payment.
The policy is exceedingly unwise in this also, that it cau
ses the State to borrow the present currency at par, to be
paid back, years hence, with interest, in gold. What pru
dent man would do this, in the management of lus own af
fairs i Suppose one planter ovye.*another ten thousand dol
lars, would he sell property now at the present high juices
in currency and pay the debt, or would he hold on to his
property, and pay interest upon the debt tiil the war is
over, and the price of everything is again estimated upon

we would say, he needed a guardian. It we agree that Dougherty
this policy would be unwise in individuals, we must not Monda 7'
forget, that the State is but an association of individuals. 3d Monday.Thomaa
When upon a question of this character, we have ascertain
ed what would he the interest of a prudent individual, or
a small number of individuals, we have only to enlarge the
circle, and we have the interest of the State. This is a
rule by which 1 have been guided in the management of the
finances of the State, and I believe it to be the only true
and successful one.
Our people can now pay five millions of dollars in the
present curreucy easier than they can pay one million in
gold, in what dre usually called hard times, when property
is low and money scarce. It may he said, why not keep
our property and leave this matter to posterity V Who are
to be posterity ? Our children. For whom are we labor
ing? Our children. If, then, our property is expected to
descend to our children, why accumulate a debt to *fiang
over it and descend w*ith it, by borrowing money at the rate
of twenty cents for a dollar, to be paid back by iliem out
of our property iq gold, dollar for dollar, with interest. I
trust this policy will find very few advocates.
It is infinitely better for us to submit to all the taxation,
and make all the sacrifices necessary to maintain our Gov
ernment and sustain our credit, than to permit the enemy
to%verturn our Government, plunder ouj* homes, insult our
wives and our daughters, confiscate our property, and en
slave ourselves and our posterity. We cannot avoid the
one alternative or the other. Humbly imploring a contin
uation of Divine favor, let us resolve to stand in our allotted
places, make all the sacrifices necessary, and place our en
tire trust in the God of Israel, who is “ a very present h"elp
in trouble,” and all w ill yet be well.
