Credit of the Government: Speech of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana, in the Senate of the United States, January 15, 1878 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Credit of the Government: Speech of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana, in the Senate of the United States, January 15, 1878
And in pursuance of a notice then given I now call it up for the purpose of discussing the subject to which it relates.
The agitation of the question of finance has continued without a moment's intermission from the commencement of our present sys tem until this hour. Nor is it likely to cease for many years to come. In fact it will never cease until the people are satisfied that our vast debt is in process of extinction upon principles of justice to tax-paying labor, or until on the other hand, they are subjugated into silent submission and the Government itself becomes changed in spirit and form into a moneyed aristocracy. It may be that this latter alternative is to overtake us. There are dark and plentiful omens in our recent history indicating such a conclusion, and there is a numerous and powerful class in our'midst who believe, as Alex ander Hamilton declared, that the British government, on this as well as on other points, is the best ever devised by the wisdom of man. Those entertaining this Opinion have thus far triumphed in the financial legislation of the United States and the time has now arrived when their victories must be reversed or soon this Govern ment will cease to be republican and the people no longer be free.
