tor ClnsN Crushes the Borrower.
"History repeat* itself' and
" The like causes produce like
rrsultb'' are both old and true
maxims, it is seldom, however,
that both are clearly exempli-
fied In a single instance. The
speech^ of Henry Clay during
the sub treasury debate in 1840
not only prove the lirst, but
logically and eloquently de-
fend the second. Mr. Clay said:
"The proposed substitution
of an exclusive metallic cur-
rency io the mixed medium
with which we have been so
long familiar is forbidden by
the principles of eternal juv
tice. Assuming the currency
of the country to consist of
two thirds paper and one-third
specie, and assuming also tha<
the money of a country, what*
ever may be its component
parts, regulates all values and
expresses the true amount
which the debtor has to pay
his creditor, the effect of the
change upon that relation and
upou the property of the coun-
try w nlei be most ruinous.
All property would be reduced
in \&lue to one third of its
! piesent nainitial amount, and
I every debtor would in effect
have to pay tiir«3 times as
much as he had contracted for.
The pressure of our foreign
debt would be three times as
great as it is, while about ♦COO,-
000,000, which is about the sum
now probably due to the banks
from the people, would be mul-
tiplied into ((1,800.000,000.
Have gentlemen relucted up
on the consequences of their
system or depletion I 1 have
already stated that tbe country
is borne down by a weight of
debt. If the c irrency be great
ly diminished, as beyond all
example it has been, how is
this debt to be extinguished!
Property, the resource on
which the debtor relied for his
payment, will decline in value,
and it may happen that a man,
who honestly contracted debt
on the faith of property which
bad a value at the time fully
adequate to warrant the debt,
•vill lind himself stripped of all
his property and his debt re-
mains unextinguished. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Buchanan) has put the
case of two nations, iu one of
which the amount of its cur-
rency shall be double what it
is in the other, and. as he con-
tends, the prices of all prop-
erly will be double in the for-
mer nation of what they are in
the latter. If this be true of
two nations, it must be equally
true of one whose circulating
medium is at one period double
what it is at another. Now, as
the friends of the billargue, we
nave been, and yet are, in this
inflated state ; our currency has
been double, or in something
like that proportion, of what
was necessary, and we must
come down to the lowest stand-
ard. Do they not perceive that
inevitable ruin to thousands
must be tbe inevitable conse
quenre ? A man, for example,
owning property to the value
of #5.000 contracts a debt for
$R,000. By the reduction of
one half of the currency of the
country his properly In effect
becomes reduced to the value
of *2,500. But his debt under
goes no corresponding reduc
tion. He gives up all his prop
«rty and remains still in debt
$2,600. Thus this mensure
will operate on the debt-
or class of the nation—
always the weaker class,
and that which for that reason
most needs the protection of
government.
But if the effect of this hard
money policy npon the debtor
class be injurious, it is 8til"
more disastrous, if possible to
tbe laboring classes. Enter-
prise will be checked or slop-
ed, employment will become
difficult, and the poorer olassea
will be subject to tbe greatest
privations and distress.
And what is the lemedy to
be prodded for this unhappy
state of the country ? I have
conversed freely with the mem-
bers of tbe Philadelphia com-
mittee. They are real praotl-
cle workingmen — intelligent,
well acquainted with the gen*
eral conditior, and with the
sufferings of their parjlcular
community. No one who has
not a heart of steel can listen
to them without fet-litg the
deepest sympathy for the p
vatlons and sufferings una
essarily brought upon the
boring classes. Both tbe oo
mittee and the memorial de-f
clare that their reliance is ex-
clusively on the legislative
branch of tbe government. Mr.
President it is with subdued
feelings of the profoundest hu-
mility and mortification that 1
am compelled to say that, con-
stituted as congress now is, no
relief will be afforded by it un-
less its members shall be en-
lightened and instructed by the
people themselves,
| To tbe vice-president.] '1 j
yon, then, sir, in no unfriendly
spirit, but with feelings soft-
ened and subdued by the deep
distress which pervades every
class of our contry men, I make
the appeal. By your official
and personal relations with the
president you maintain with
him an intercourse which 1
neither enjoy nor covet. Go
to him and tell him, without
exageration, but in the lan-
guage of truth and sincerity,
the actual condition of his
bleeding country. Tell
him it is nearly ruined and
undone by the measures he has
been induced to put into opera
tion. Tell him tbat his experi
ment is operating on the nation
like a philosopher's experi-
ment upon a convulsed animal
in an exhausted receiver, and
that it must expire in agoajr if
be does not pause, give it free
and sound circulation and suf-
fer the energies of the people
to be revived and restored.
Tell him that in a single city
more than sixty bankruptcies,
nvolving a lose of upwards of
$15,000,000. have occurred.
Tell him of the alarming de
cline in the value of all prop-
erty, of the depreciation of all
the products of industry, of the
stagnation in every branch of
business, and of the close of
numerous manufacturing es-
tablishments which, 'i tew short
mouths ago, were iu active aud
nourishing operation. Depict
to him, if you can find language
to portray, the heartrending
wretchedness of thousands of
the working classes cast out of
employment. Tell him of tbe
tears of helpless widows no
longer able to earn their bread,
and of unclad and unfed or-
phans who have been driven by
his policy out of the busy pur
suit in which but yesterday
they were gaiuiug an honest
livelihood."
Was eloquence ever more
logical ? Could lauguage por
tray our present condition more
completely ? This whole great
plea was for more currency
tbat through this medium the
distress of the land might dis
appear and bring relief to the
toiling millions. One would
think after such an impressive
warning the nation would avoid
similar calamities. Yet after
half a century we tind ourselves
in the same condition as when
this speech was delivered.—

said office and Jackson 2840
votes giving Faubion a majority
sixty votes. Theweveoty-sec-

posed of this, Williamson, Mi-

bion received six votes for float-

which, if counted, would just

DECLARED OFF.
The Homestead Strikers After
Five Montlis.
Homrstkad, Pa„ Nov. 20.—
The great strike of Carnegie's
Homestead works is declared
off. After five months which
for bitterness has probably
never been equally in this coun-
try, the army of strikers finally
decided to-day to give up the
tight. This action was taken
at a meeting of the Amalga-
mated association at Home-
stead this afternoon, the vote
standing at 101 in favor of de-
claring the strike off to 01
against. Among those present
at the meeting were vice-Presi-
dent Car.iey, Secretary Killen,
Treasurer Madden and David
Lynch of the advisory board,
The officials addressed the
members in plain words aud
told them the strike was lost
and advised them to take steps
to better their condition.

There seems to be an extend-

desire to know more of its his

Perhaps the current feeling
would be better described aB a
couviction that patriotism de-
mands such a knowledge; also,
that this shall include acquaiu-
tance, not only with past events
but with the institutions and
genius of our government.
