Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches on Commercial, Financial and Other Subjects The speeches selected from those of the Hon. Elijah Ward, and presented in this volume, are laid before the public because they refer chiefly to measures of immediate and practical moment in the national commerce and finances, but yet remaining unaccomplished. Much labor has been spent with a candid and impartial spirit in acquiring the information they contain, and it would be difficult of access, and thus of comparatively little use, unless collected and concentrated. The subjects will continue to demand more and more the attention of American statesmen, until they are finally settled. They include the much needed ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, an extension of our commerce, especially of the markets for our manufactures and agricultural productions, through an American or continental system of trade with Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and other countries, revenue reform and the restoration of our mercantile marine on the ocean, the necessity of a just, uniform, and permanent bankrupt law, the importance of conferring the right of coinage on the Assay Office in New York, a free canal policy in the State of New York as essential to the preservation of her inland commerce and valuable to the nation, a safe and gradual return to a sound currency, redeemable in coin, and the renewal of concord and prosperity in the Southern States. On the whole, the speeches refer more or less directly to commerce at home and abroad as the best means of stimulating production and increasing the employment and comfort of the people throughout the Union. For many years these material interests have been conspicuously neglected in the national Legislature, and it was the object of Mr. Ward to present those views which he believed to be true in regard to them without yielding to the prevalent prejudices or supineness of the times.
