traynd.
Tbo Now Road of Denver pnblidhod nil
extract from 11 poech mudo by t hat great
Htutebiiinn Henry Clay iu 1840, Ho
knew what wiih coming und 58 years
ago predicted tho conditioim that now
exiht. During tbo diibtreiidury debated
of that year Henry Ohiy mudo tho fol
lowing reiiiurkd. Head them und then
relied:
"Tho propodoil Hubctitutiou of an ox
eluHivo metallic currency to tho mixed
liiedium to which wo have been mo long
fumlliurid forbidden by tbo principled
of eternal juMico. AHdiuuing tho cur
rency of llio country to coiiHidt of two
thirdd paper mid one-third nietul, un l
Hdduming uIno that the money of u coun
try, whatever limy ho ltM oomiioiient
partd, resolute all valued and oxprewted
tho trtii) umount which tbo debtor bud
to pay bin creditor, tlio effect of tbo
change upon f hut relation und upon tbo
property of tho country would bo inont
ruinoud. All property would bo reduced
in value to 0110-third of ltd prcdcnt nor
mal umount, und every debtor would in
effect hitvo to pay three timed ltd much
fid ho bad contracted for.
Huvo gout hunou reflected upon tho
floiideijiieiicu of their nydtem of deplo
tiou? I have alieudy Minted that tho
country id homo down by weight of
debt, If tlio currency bo grcutly dimln
idhed, uh beyond all cxumplo ithiidboi ti,
how id thid debt to bo oxtinguidhed?
Property, tho rodouroo on which tbo
debtor relied for bid payment, will do
cline in value, und it may happen that
a man who houodtly contracted a debt
on tho faith of property which had a
valuo ut tho timo fully uibniiuto to war
runt tho debt will find hliiiw If tripd:d
of nil bid property and hid debt remain
micxtlngiiidhod. Tho gentleman from
i'onmiylvaniit (Mr. J'.uchanaii) bud put
tbo cuho of two nation, in otioof which
tho umount of itd currency nhall bo
douhlu what it id in tho other, and, iid
ho contoudd, tho price of nil property
will bo doublo in tbo former nation of
what they uro in tlio latter. If Ibid bo
true of two nutiond, it mudt bo equally
true of otio wbono circulating medium
id ut one period doublo what it id ut an
other, Now, an tbo frionddof tbo bill
agreo, wo have boon und yot uro in
tbid inflated htate; our currency Luc
been doublo, or in something like that
proportion, of whnt wnH iieceddiiry, und
wo mudt count down to the lowedt
atandard. Do they not perceive that in
evitable ruin tu thoiiMindd mux! bo the
inevitable oomutqucucc? A man, for ox
ample, owning property to the value of
15,000 contract a debt of 15,000. I!y
tho reduction of one-half of the curren
cy of tho country bid property in effect
bocomed reduced to tho vhJuo of f 2,600,
Hut bid debt undergoes no corrodpond
ing reduction, lie glvr-d up all bid prop
erty and reiiiaiiid dill) iu debt 3,500,
Thud tbid lneuHiiro will opoiato on the
debtor eland of the nation alwayd the
weaker cbidd and that which for that
reamm niimt uoodd the protection of gov
ernment. Dut if the t fToct of thid hard money
policy upon tho debtor cbidd bo injuri
ous it id dtill more diditdtroud if poddible
to tho laboring cIuhcch. Kuterprido will
bo checked or utopped, employment will
become nioro difficult, und tbo poorer
claimed will bo Nubjected to tho greatest
privatioiid find didtrcHd.
And what id tho remedy to Ut provid
ed for tliid unhappy dtato of tbo coun
try? I havo convened freely with the
memherd of tho i'hihidelpliiu commit
teo. They aro real political workingmeu
intelligent, wt II acquainted with the
general condition and with tho mi tier
