Thl I the p an adopted both In France and Eng land for popular loan, nnd It make it very easy for the people, beouuse such subscription can be made at every money order postofflco In ths land. All thesa can bo made a matter of record at Washington, and thus each subscriber is hn safe as if ho possessed a registered bond. t The plan ha long been In operation abroad and ha proved sutisluctojy alike to government and pnople, Thess money raining measures ars as essential to our success in war as the possession of armies and navies, and it I the duty ol congress to act upon them at oneo," , , Ilefreshlng contrast alter rending this mingled mas of contradiction, soapsud uud treason to American Interest to turu to the word ol Thomas Jefferson In presenting a fliianulal program when thi country whs at war with the strong est military and naval nation on earth. Juns 2i, IBia, Jufferson wrote a com plete outline of hi plan for currying on the war then In progress, without creat ing u national debtor borrowing mon ey Irom foreigner, having previously matured hi Idea by longr and careful study of ths subject. -. " We are uu ugrioulUrut uaHoU," he wrote. "Much a one employ lis sav ing In the purchase or improvement of laud and stock. ' The leudable money among them i chiefly that of orphan und ward in the bands of ex ecutors and guardians and that which the (firmer lay by until ho lins enough for the purchse In .view. Id such a no tion there I one and only one resource for loan, sufficient to furry thin through the expense of a war, and that will always be sulllclent , and in tbe power of nn honest government, punc tual In the preservation of Its faith. The fund 1 mean I the mas of circulating coin, li very one knows, that although not literally, it i nearly true, that every paper dollar emitted banishes a silver one from circulation. A nation there fore, making Its purchase and pay ments with bills fitted lor circulation, thrust an equal sum of coin out of cir culation. Thi Is einivalent to borrow ing that sum, and yet the vender, re ceiving payment In a medium a effect ual a coin for hi purchase or payment, ha no claim to future 6. Ami so tbe nation may continue to Issue Its bills as far u Its wants require, and Hie limit of the circulation will admit. These limit are understood to extern with us at present to aoO,000,000, a greater sum , than would bo neessary for, any war." In the war of 1755 our state availed itself of thi fund by issuing a paper money, bottomed on a spec! Do tax lor its redemption, and to Insure Its credit, bearing interest at five per cent. With in a very short time, not a bill of th.s omiHHion wa to bo found lit circuit-1 lion, it wa locked up in ths chest of executor, guurdiuns, widow, farmers, i etc. Ws then Issued bill bottomed on a ' redeeming tax, but bearing no Interest.! Those were readily received, and never depreciated a single furthlng." in the same paper he declared that "every country permittinir naoer to bs circulated, other than that by publio authority, would end la bankruptcy. , lu other word, the only safe and legiti mate tiaiier money is that which I emitted by authority of the government and bottomed on tbe taxable wealth of the nation. Again on the 1 1th of Runtember. 1813. ' he still further elucidated hi plan for a1 government paper money, always avail- j able in time of need, and ample enough ' 10 imiei every emergency, iie said: "Tbe question will be asked and ought to be looked at, what Is to be the re-1 Nource if loan cannot be obtained? There Is but one, 'Carthago delendaeet' Hank pafier must be uppred, and the circulating medium must be restored to the uution, to whom it belong. It is the only fund on which they Aim rely for loans; it 1 tbe only resource which can nsver fail them; and it I an abundant one for every necessary purpose. Treae-' ury bills, bottomed on taxes, beariug or not bearing Interest, a may be found' neceiMary, thrown Into circulation will tak Hi place of so mucb gold and sil- j ver, which last, wnen crowded, will find 1 aut-lflux Into other countries, and thu. keep ths quantum of umdljuiat It sal-' Ulary level." , Then I a limit, of course, to the Issu of ptr money. Ji ff.-rson placed that ' limit at f J0O.oo0.lMMl Hghty-tlv yi-ar' ago. Our nation i at luast thirty times' as strong as il wa then.
