Tho projter tiino for resumption is llio limo <
when wiso preparations shall liavo ripened i
into a perfect ability to accomplish tlie object |
-with it certainty and ease that will inspire i
confidence, aud encourage I lie reviving of i
bu.sine.M8. 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*

'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

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

its purification, necessary to its economy and
its eflioionoy, ueocsiary in order that the ordinary
employment of tlio nub lie business niiw

? 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. When r.
yem and a half ago, I cnterred upon my
present trust, it was in order to eonsumate
roforms to which 1 had already devoted Severn
I of the best years of my life Knowing
as 1 do, therefore, from fresh cxporicno. how
great is the dilferenea between gliding
through an official routine, and working out
a reform of systems and polio ui, it is impOH
iblo for me to contemplate what n#ids? to he
dons, in the l'oiidcial administration, without
nu anxious sense of the dilliouliios of tho
undertakings. If summoned by tho suffrages
of rny countrymen to attempt this work, 1
