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.
