\m. O. 11. FULTON.
The House having under con
fident! idrt the hill (11. IL No. 805)
'To repeal the third section of the
Jrt’l rititled “An act for the re
sumption of specie payments"—
i|r. Fjjpox rfiiU
Mr, SfpAKER : I have but lew
profess to be- able to seo and ap
preciate results, effects. As in
nature there are effects that are
apparent to the most casual
observer, while all the secret
springs which produced these ef
fects may not be known. In dis
ease the physician has little to do
with names—with the technical
descriptipps tjijit <ill ( jy> ||isi hppjvs
as sp hutch waste lumber. lie
sees before him only symptoms
and his duty is to battle with
those symptoms by all appliances
within his reach, In the fimm
rial policy of this country I see
and appreciate results, the effects,
the symptoms—all indicative of
a fatal termination, and demand
ing the most prompt and efficient
remedies. Glass legislation isde-
I strncliyp to pjyil liberty, It en
| genders resistance, it estranges
i the class antagonized from the
Government, for men cease to re
sped the laws which oppress
them. The government which en
acts and enforces discriminating
measures must soon expect to
find among its citizens one class
who aie its hereditary friends and
another class who are its heredi
tary enemies. This friendship
and litis enmity must continue
until one becomes the only pillar
upon which the government rests
or until Ihe other culminates in
rebellion or slavery.
Every monarchy in Europe and
jit Asiq, whether limited by eon
ulilqljoiial law or having no limi
(a! jotts thrown around the will of
the rifle) - , had its origin in per
sonal and class preferences and
is maintained by legal favoritism.
Divide into classes and then sus
tain I lie favored class by every
act of I he government is the max
im of despotic rulers. They have
in general so insidiojtsly accom
plished their purpose that the en
slaved class did not suspect en
croachments upon their political,
social, and industrial rights until
they were powerless for averting
the evil.
In this republican Government
we have always resisted the for
mation of classes. “Equality be
fore the law” has been the recog
nized position of every American
citizen. We have applied this
principle not only to men, but
theoretically we have applied it
to occupations and pursuits in
life.
Aii open path, unhedged by
law, has been supposed to open
invitingly before every occupa
tion, every species of labor ; and
the man who had no endowment
but his capacity for work—who
was willing to work—who remem
bered that all legitimate wealth
was the resultant of work, has
been taught by the theory of our
Government that under its foster
ing care the highest rewards were
at tainable. Instead of seeking his
impoverishment and degradation,
the law was ever supposed to be
on his side, kindly in sympathy
with his necessities, and disposed
to stimulate rather than retard
Ins efforts in bettering his condi
tion.
The good report of our Govern
ment in this particlar has gone
throughout the world. The thou
sands of emigrants who have
built up the West and who are an
important factor in the future of j
our country have been attracted
here by our supposed equal laws, j
unhedged paths of industry, ourj
respect for labor, and the absence :
of all class distinctions.
I repeat, this has been the the !
ory of our Government, and when
ever the people become conviced \
of a departure or a proposed de
parture from this principle of “e j
qual and exact justice to all
men,” they will resist it by all
the means at their command.
The people are not yet prepar
ed to surrender their rights into
the hands of the few. They are
not willing that monopolists, cor
porationists, national bondhold
ers and the money-changers of
fhi country shall become the un
challenged lords of the country,
holding the soil and its produc
tions, the manufacturing and mi
ning interests, as tributaries to
their wealth.
The formation of classes is to
be deprecated. Fyen the organ
ization of parties in the interest
of special industries is to be con
sured and condemned. Labor
or working inch's parties are till
wrong, because they are based
upon one idea, upon personal ail
vancement, individual gain, to
the exclusion of, or even in oppo
sition to, other interests and oc-
cupations entitled to government
sympathy and protection equal
ly with themselves.
Labor has no right to make
war upon capital, because capital
is as necessary (u productive in
dijstry us labor. Labor strikes
and combinations on the part of j
employes against capital tire tin |
wise and destructive to the inter- !
erts of capital and labor, When i
these combinations resort to vio- !
lonce they tire criminal and are ;
deserving the condemnation of
every good citizen; though we are
not surprised that men who are
dependent upon their labor for
bread, vlinsd families have no se
curity against starvation but their
daily wages, who have not always
the safeguards of intelligence and
virtue thrown around them,
j should occasionally take counsel
of their passion and foolishly and
j criminally resist the colossal com
! bination which has for the last
few years waged an extermina
ting war upon the labor of this
country.
It is wrong and criminal for
| productive labor to conspire a
gainst corporations, against bond
holders, against capital, It is e
qually wrong and criminal for
capital to combine and conspire
against labor and by its superior
power make labor a mere serf to
minister to its exorbitant de
mands; to seek by unhallowed
| and fraudulent combination to
I rob agricultural, manufacturing,
mining, and all the wealth maik
| ing industries of their legitimate
rewards.
I submit that the financial leg
islation of this country since 1870
lias been the result of a deliber
ate conspiracy on the part of the
creditor class to rob, defraud, and
impoverish the debtor class.
I submit that the act forcing
resumption of specie payments in
1879, by contracting the circula
tion of legal tender notes, and the
act of 1873, demonetizing the sil
ver dollar, were as unjust and
wicked as the labor strikes which
have recently startled and alarm
ed all good citizens.
The only difference was, the
last was illegal and violent ; the
other sought to cover the outrage
they perpetrated by the forms
and sanctions of law.
The only difference was', one
was speedily and justly suppress
ed; the other, panoplied in gold
and protected by political influ
ence, smiles in its bloated securi
ty upon the wrecks of fortune—
the blasted hopes and the suffer
ing poverty it has created.
The act demonetizing silver, in
my opinion, was the most delibe
rate and inexcusable fraud upon
labor known in the legislative
history of the world.
The •scheme for demonetizing
one of the metals throughout the
western world originated soon
after the discovery of gold in Gal
ifornia and Australia. It was
supposed that the production of
gold would be enormous, and the
governments of the world were
invoked to prevent the anticipat
ed decline in the value of gold by
its demonitization. Germany and
Austria did in 1857 demonetize
gold, and other nations would
have followed their lead but for
the resistance by France. Here
I may remark, that France has at
all times managed her finances
with an ability unequaled among
the nations of Europe. Her war
with Germany increased her debt
$2,000,000,000, besides the loss of
two of her finest provinces. She
appeared to be wrecked. Germa
ny, her conqueror, looked on ex
ultingly; believed she was crip
plied tor a half century; but
France has taught her that well
managed finances are more pow
erful than well managed armies.
To day, while Germany, crazy a
bout a single metalie standard
and the resumption of specie pay
S meats, tntssliivering on the Veffll
of natioftaTbiuikruptcy;
with every dollar in her war finej
canceled, with all her industrSß
prosperous, is now, seven yea®
alter her crushing defeat, th£-siT)
perior of her conqueroE"^^
The French government ?HBe.
paper money a legal tender for'
all debts, public and private—
honored its own money. The
banking establishments 'of the
country loaned to the people mo- <
ney in sufficient quantity to car
ry on their industries, and the
people were so prosperous that
they in turn tendered to their go
vernment the loan of four times
the amount of money necessaryj
to pay their war debt. fl
Such is France, that resist®
i lie one-metalic--standard foll|H
such is the nation that inth® 1
ralher than contracts her ctJBSS|
cy, that never worries abou®|Sf
sumption, and at the same timen
has in the vaults of her ImnksJ
mine gold and silver than the®
is in the combined banks of EnS
laud and Germany..
Germany and the United Statesl
demonetized silver in 1873, both!
governments being influenced byl
one motive, namely, to protect!
and enrich the creditor class and*
those having fixed incomes ’gainst
a fall in the value of money.
This is the secret of this one
metallic-standard movement.— •
They feared a decline in the pur- 4
chasing value of silver. They
knew ii' they oould shelvo one of.
our mctalic standards it woiilj
quadruple their weath ;
was the certain means of makina
the rich richer, and the
er; it would send down the wages!
of labor and the prices of coMl
modities.
So then, silver, the moncyiH
the constitution, the coin whiqfl
had been a legal tender for, air
dues, public and private, from the
origin of the government was de
liberately set aside, retired frotu|
1 circulation, practically driven ow|
of the country. The chances for
resumption lessened, and indeed,
; impossible ; and debts contracted.!
when gold and silver were both
legal-tenders, now to be paid on
-1 Jv in gold ; all for what ?
To benefit that “small part of
j capital which has ceased to labor
and is at rest, in the form of fix -
! eil and permanent investments.”
But, sir, (his money power was
: not content with the demonetiza
tion of silver.
[No. 10.
This did not contract the
rency sufficiently. This did not
shrink values in proportion to
their greed. This did not quite
transfer all the jrroperty of the
country into their hands. This
did not quite make New York and
commercial Now England the
owners in fee simple of the cot
i ton fields of the South and the
grain fields of the West.
, Ever on the alert, in 1875 they
| devise and consummate the grand
j est scheme of contraction known
j to the history of governments, at
a time when the public and pri
vate indebtedness of this country
was appalling; for there was the
national debt, upon which the
government has paid interest,
alone, sinco the war,
to $ 1,422,057,577; there was the™
railroad debt, amounting, at the
j time this iniquitous law was en
acted, to about $5,000,000,000, up
ion which the labor of the coun
try was paying interest; to which
must be ridded the State and mu A
nicipal indebtedness of the conn *
| try to about $10,000,000,000, up
on which labor is paying interest.
Then, there is the private indebt- a
edness of the country, absolutely *
incalculable.
Then, there was the Southern
section of our country, laid waste
by war, with her former immense
wealth—about $7,000,000,000 —
blotted out; her fields uncultiva
ted ; her once happy homes, ma
ny of them, in ashes ; her farmers
without implements of husband
ry, without stock, and without
credit; all her enterprises pros- -
(rate—widowhood and prphanage
throughout the land. Just at this 1
time the government resolves to<fl
contract the currency, bringing 1
every commodity and every spe M
cies of labor down to a gold basil J
and unquestionably reducing tl J
debtor class to penury and war(j^B
It has been said that the issuinHl
of our greenback currency was afl
war necessity. It was intendedH
to sustain the country during thjßl
exhausting struggle in whichJl||
was engaged. It was
in doing this; and 1 submit tttl'JH
a currency which was
during that period of waste
