The earliest limo in whieli such n < result can be brought about is tho best. Even when I ho preparations shall liavo been mux ture'l, Iho exact date would have to be chosen I f with reference to tho tlion oxiating stuto of I trado and credit operations in our own country, Iho course of foreign coinmoroo, autl tliu i condition ?f thecxchangcs with other nations, i 'f\i? spooiflo nie?Htiro?, ami Iho Actual date are i mailers of dotail, having rcforcnco to ovor changing conditions that belong to tha do- i friaift.of practical administrative statesman- i hip. Tho captain of astcamsr about starling < bio a council over his ocean oharl, and fix an i angle by which to koep tho rudder for tho whole voyage. A human intelligence must be at I he helm, to discern Iho shifting forces of the waters and tho winds; a human hand must bo at the helm to feci tlio elements, day by day, and guide to a mastery over them. Such preparations aro everything. Without llicin a legislative command, fixing a day, an omciai promise, nxing a uny, nrcsnams. J'licy aro worse; they aro a Biiare an.d a delusion lo nil who I rust thorn, f hey destroy all confidence among thoughtful inon, whose judgment will at lust sway public opinion. An attempt to net on such a command, on such a promise, without preparation, would end in a new suspension. It would be a fresh calamity, productive of confusion, distrust and distress. The net of Congress of tlio 1 Itli of .January, 187f>, enacted that -'on and after the 1st of January, 1870, tho Secretary of the Treasury shall redeem in coin the legnl tender notes of tho United States on presentation at tho oflicc of the assistant treasurer in the city of Now York." It authorized the secretary to prepare and provide for such resumption of spccie paymeuts by tho use of any surplus rovenuca, not othcrwiso appropriated, and by issuing, ill il in viin^iAUIWMj VUllUlU UIUttBUH Ul UOI1US. ]\Ioro than ono and a lmlf of the years have passed. Congress and tlio President have conl'.miod ever since to unite in acts which liavo legislated ontof existenco every possible surplus applicable to this purpose. The coin in the treasury, claimed to belong to the government, had, on tho oUth of Juno, fallen lo less I hail S?15,00(),000( as against !>*>'.>,000,000 on the first of .'auuary, 1876, and tho availability of a part of that, now, is said tolje questionable. Tho revenues arc falling faster than the appropriations and cxpedituros arc reducing, leaving the treasury with diminishing resources. Hie secretary has dono nothing under his power to issue bonds, Legislative coiiiiunnd and the olliolal promise, fixing a day for resumption, have thus far been barren. No practical preparations towards resumption have been made. There has been n > progross. There have been steps back ward. Tlicrc is no cconomy in the operations of government. Tile homely maxims of every dny life arc the be.st standards of its conduct. A debtor who should promise to pay a loan out of a surplus income, yet be seen every day spending all lie couict lay his hands on in tiotous living, would lose all character for honesty and veracity. His oiler of a new promise, or his profession us to the value of old promises, would alike provoke derision.Tho resumption plank of tho St. Louis platform denounces the failure for cloven years to make good tho promise of ICgal tender notes; it denounces the omission to accumulate any reserve for their redemption; il denounces the conduct which, during olcve'i years of lioaoe, has made no advances to wards resumn (ion, ami no preparations for resumption, bill instead lias obstrnctutl resumption by wasting our rosources ami exhausting all our surplus income, and while professing to inleiul a epeedy return to specie payments bus annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto, and having first denounced the barrenness of tho promise of a day of resumption, it next denounces that barren promise as a hindrance to resumption. It next demands its repeal, and also demands tho establishment of a judicious system of preparation for resumption. It cannot be doubted t liat the substitution of a system o?* preparation without the promise of u day, for tho worthless promise of a day, without a bystem of preparation, would be the gain of tho substance ot resumption in exchange for its shadow. Nor is its denunciation unmoritcd of that improvidence which in eleven years since the peace has consumed $l,t>Ol),OOU,OUO, and yet could not afford to givo the people a sound and stable currency. Two snd a half per cent, on tlie expenditures of thwse oleven years, or even less, would havo provided all the additional coin needful to resumption, rolicvo Uio business distress now felt by Llic people iu all thoir business and litdustiios. Though it lms its principal causo in iho enormous wasto of capital, occasioned by the false policies of onr Government, it fans bcon greatly aggravated by the nisman* ogement of the currency. Uncertainty is tho prolific point of mischief In nil business. Novcr were its evils more felt than now. Men do nothing because they nro unable to make nny calculations on which they can safely ri-iy. x uvy unuvriiiKC Homing, DCCailSC they fear ft loss in everything they would undertake. 'J'hey stop and wait. Tho merchant dare not buy for the future consuui|)tion of )iih customers, the manufacturer dare not make fabrics which mny not refund his outlay. lie shuts his factory and discharges his workmen. Capitalists cannot lend on security they consider not safe; and their funds lit! almost without Interest. Men of enterprise who have credit or securities of pledge will not borrow. Consumption has fallen below the natural limits of a reasonable economy, l'rices of many things arc under their range in frugal, specie-paying times before the civil war. Vast masses of currency lie in the banks untouched. A year and a half ago the legal tenders were at their largest, volume, and tho twelve millions since retired ha^j been replaced by fresh issues of fifteen mil nuns oi uaiiK notes. in ilio meantime, (he banks liavc bcccn surrendering about four millions a month, because they cannot find a profitable uhc for so ninny of their notes. Tho public mind will no longer accent shams. It lins Hiiirernd enough from illusions. An iuniriccro policy increases distrust; an unstable policy increases uncertainly. The people need to know that the government is moving in the direction of ultimate sUety and pros perity, and that it i.< doing so through ]>rudent, safe and conservative methods, winch wiil he sure to intlict no new sacrifice on tho business of I lie country. Then the inspirit tion of new hope nnd well founded confidence will nid the restoring processes of nature, nnd prosperity will begin (?> return. The St. Louis convention concludes its ex predion in regard lo llio currency, by a do* duration of its convictions, as to tlio practi* col results of the system of preparation it dcliinnds. ltsnys: ''Wo believe in such a <yslem, well devised nnd ftbovc all, entrusted to j ooi.ipetent hands for execution, erecting at no time an artifioial scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming the pttldic mind into a withdrawal of Ihnt vast machinery of credit by which ninety fivo per cent of nil busines* transactions are rinrIVirni?<t ? i ?? n^.lTUlll (>|K'I1, public iwul inapring general confidence, would, from llio day of iis adoption, bring healing on its wings to all our hnriutuci-l iri<luHtricM, Bet in motion tho wheels of commerce, manufactures an<l (ho mechanic arts, restore employment lo labor, and renew, in all in 1,1 t in til Hotirecs, I lie prosperity <> iliu j. >i.l 'I'lic government of the ' :.itcd i'latc , in my opinion, can advivnoo to a resumption of spocio payments 011 its legal tender notes by gradual ami snfo processes, tending to relieve Llio present businoso distress, If olmrged by the pooplo with the administration of tlio ex* noutivo offico, I should deem it a duty to ex rcise the powers with which it hns beon, or iiny be, invested by Congress, (is best aud loonest to conduct the country to that benoicinl result. The oonvehlion justly affirms Hint "roforin s necessary in the civil scrvico, necessary to its purification, necessary to its economy and its eflioionoy, ueocsiary in order that the ordinary employment of tlio nub lie business niiw not ho n prixc fought for lit tho' bftllot box*? ? brief reward of party stoaJ instead of posta t)f honor assigned for proved comuetouov, and hftW fOf fWKflWynt ^ftO 'public iimMoy." Tho convention wisely added that "reform is neoi^tflarv i?vf>n mnro In t1w? #1%~ public tjorvioo: President, Vico 1 President, judges, senators, representatives, cabinet officers; these nnd nil others in authority arc the peoples' servants; their offices are nol a private ponjuisito, tlicy are a public trust.? Two evils infest the official servico of the Federal Governmont. One is tho prevalent and demoralizing notion that the public service exists, not for tho business and benefit of the whole peoplo, but for tho interest of the office holders, who are, in truth, but tho servants of the peoplo. Under tho intlueuco of this pernicious error,public employments have boon multiplied, the numbers of those gathered into tho rpnks of tho officeholders have been steadily inorcsed boyond any posiolo requirement of the public business, while inefficiency, peculation, fraud and malversation of the public funds, from the high places of power to the lowest, have overspread tho whole service like a leprosy. The other evil is the organization of tho official clnss into a lu.rlv of imliticnl morcpiifiriOS. rrnvprimwr llm ' ~ J I - t > D O . caucuses and dictating nominations of their own parly, and attempting to carry llie elections of llie people by limine inflneuco, and by immense corruption funds syolematicully collected from the salarie? of the ollico holders. Tho ollicial class in other countries, sometimes by its own weight and sometime* in allianco with tho nrmy, has been able to rule the unorganized masses oven under universal storage. Hero it has already grown into a gigantic power capable of stilling the inspiration of a sound public opinion, and of resisting any change of administration, until misgovernuient becomes intollerable, and public spirit his been stung to Hie pitch of a civil revolution. Tho first stop in reform is the elevation of tho standard by which the lumo i 111 i Ilf linwm* KnlnclH !lfr<!nts In ornnnln official trust. Next in importance is a con* scientious fidelity in 'lie exercise of the authority to . hold to account, ami displace, untrustworthy or incapable subordinates. The public interest, in an honest, skillful performance of otllcinl trust, must not be sacrificed to the unsufruct of (lie incumbent. After these immediate steps, which will insure the exhibition of better examples, we may wisely go on to the Abolition of unnecessary offices, and finally to (he pa ticnt, careful organization of a belter civil service system, under the tests, wherever practicable, of proved competency and fidelity. While much may bo accomplished by these methods, it miuht encourage delusive exnee t at ions if witheld her?, t>y the expression of my conviction that no reform of (he civil uovviec in tliis country will be complete and permanent until its Chief Magislratatc is constitutionally disqualified for re-election, experience having repeatedly exposed (lie futility of self imposed restrictions by candidates or incumbents. Through this solemnity only can he be olVeclually delivered from his greatest, temptation to misuse the power and patronage with which llio Executive is necessarily charged, Educated in the belief that it is the first duty of a citizcn of the Republic to take his fair allotment of euro and trouble in pubiiu ntl'airs, I iiave foity years as a private citizcn fulfilled, that dutv. fhoitcrh niuMiniml in mi unusi.al iegree during nil that period, with tho concords of government, 1 have never acquired tho habit uf oiiiciai life.
