Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter From the Hon. Elijah Ward: On the First Duty of the Government and People; Comprehensive Review of Our Recent Financial History; Errors of the Administration; Striking Contrast in France; The Law of Financial Panics; Necessity of a Fixed Standard of Value; When and How to Resume; B In the present state of the nation, it is of the highest importance that correct views and principles should be placed before the people, thus contributing to the progress of sound opinion. A candid exposition of the perils surrounding us is much more conducive to the public interests than specious and delusive promises can be. The people are disposed to look to the Democratic party for a return to economy and integrity in the administration of public affairs, and for the introduction and adoption of measures well calculated to restore to a safe and harmonious basis the financial, commercial, and material interests of the nation. It yet remains to be seen whether the future leaders will fully recognize the exigencies of the occasion and perceive that the country has passed through a great revolution, and that revolution is progress. The living issues of the present time are those to which attention should be given. Having devoted much thought to them and the current of events for many previous years, I submit my views and suggestions to the public, in the hope of aiding in the dissemination of truth, and of securing in the next Congress the cooperation of those with whom I shall be associated, in well-directed efforts for the enactment of such just laws as will afford the best and most permanent relief to our country. What is most Needed. The first and greatest of all the changes demanding public attention is integrity in public affairs. An administration, regarding freedom of government as the right of each member to scramble for emoluments and honors for himself and party, instead of rendering faithful service to the country, has long held almost plenary possession of power. This is the most prolific source of all the national troubles. Reform in this respect is the course on which the people most strenuously insist. On this point, all, except those who are held together by the cohesive strength of plunder, are agreed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
