Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter of Hon. Thos; Ewing, of Ohio: To the Finance Committee of the Senate, Public Debt and Currency Gentlemen: Understanding that you have the subjects of Finance, the National Debt, and the Currency now under consideration in your honorable body, I take the liberty of presenting you some views which, though they by no means attempt to compass these most intricate questions, yet, as they are founded on some reading and much careful consideration, may be found useful as suggestions in the progress of your investigation. It has been, in my opinion, from the first exceedingly desirable to separate all questions of national debt and currency and finance from general politics, as there is great danger, when these become party questions, that heated controversy, which is always more or less unreasoning and unjust, should lead the party dominant for the time, into acts subversive of, the public faith, or injurious to the public welfare. Unfortunately, however, they have to some extent become an element of party strife, and there is danger that in the vicissitude of events injustice may be done by one party to the people - the tax-payers - who are the debtor class, and as a consequent reaction, at some future day, perhaps not far distant, to the creditor. If the creditor be adjudged now more than he is equitably and fairly entitled to, that very fact is likely to produce a change of popular feeling, and with it of political power, which will give him less.
