The brief review of what was ac complished from the close of the war to 1803 makes unreasonable and groundless any distrust, either of our financial ability or-soundness; while the situation f rom 1803 to 1897 must admonish Congress of the im mediate neessity of so legislating as to make the return of the conditions then provailing impossible. The ovil of the present system is fond in the great cost of the gov ernment. of maintaining the parity of ou different forms of money, that is keeping all of them at par with gold. We surely cannot he longer beolss of the burden of tis impo sition upon tile people, even under fairly pros)porous conditions, while the pa4st four years have demonstrat ed thlat it is not only an expensive charge uponl the government, but a dlangerouls menace to tihe national credit.

We must either curtail the opportunity for speculation, made easy by the multiplied redemp tions of our demand obligations, or increase the gold reserve for their redemnpt ion.
