Excerpt from Letter of Hon. Thos; Ewing, of Ohio: To the Finance Committee of the Senate, Public Debt and CurrencyIn the arrangement proposed, a law hastening the resumption of specie payment would indeed be a disturbing' element. It would probably render success impossible by at on cc raising the market value of the Five twenties above the value of the bonds we would offer in exchange for them, and we could not command the means in gold to retire them, without borrowing at a heavy sacrifice. I Would let the law of trade regulate this for the present, as it is much more likely to be well considered and 'well adaptedto the condition of'the country than a law of Congress. In the natural course of things it will grad ally reduce the difference between currency, and gold, so that specie payment will resume itself without a violent revulsion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
