A Review of Mr. Edward Atkinson's Worcester Speech, by R. J. Atkinson, Esq. , . i. .:-.: : v, :'! ... -i.) .1;; i An address of Edward Atkinson,-Eiq, o ltostcn,: recently -delivered before tine Republican State Convention ia Massachu setts,' oh' the subject of national debt and expenditures, has been published as an au thoritative document," and beraided as a complete justification of the- Republican financial policy.: The -address may be re garded as a semi-official document, the author announcing, to give additional weight and authority to the statements therein con- talneey that "If there is any merip in tne lollowinjc analysis of the expenditures of the, lst three years, I can only claim the plan and method upon which it is placed before you. All the dat have been fur nished, me by the Hon. David. A. Wells." - ; t - i - I - .. - I have said that I have been able to make the statements which are included in this address by the aid of my- friend,' David A. Well,apecial(Jommissioner otthe Kevenue, to whom' I applied, in order that I might ave the force of an official statement to prove iy fiohition. No man stands nigher In the uutiUencef the people, and no wander manr's tnac continence more, witn a sin tie eye to the truth, he gives to his work the lorce ot aa enthusiasm rarely to be found, and hence the. power and value ot every document that comes from his band." With such an endorsement. It la not sur prising that the statements in this address, and the conclusions arrived at, have not only attracted much attention, but claimed decree ot confidence bevond that civen to unofficial statements. At the request of some friends,-! nave caretully - examined the statistics and arguments contained in this address, aud propose to consider, In as brief a manner as possible, some ot the most important points tnerein set tortn. In the present condition ot the country. and critical condition ot our financial af fairs, what is most to be desired by all who are interested in its prosperity and wel fare, is the "truth." To the attainment of this object, every good citizen should con tribute whatever he can. I concede to the author of the address, and his official in spirer, ail Ihe ."enthusiasm" for truth so modestly claimed. At the same time cannot but regret that a F more charitable spirit had not been manifested towards those who might, perchance, happen todit- r with regard to the facts or conclusions presented dv tne autnor or tne aaaress. Hence, I regretted to see the charge made, in the very outset, . that '"the Democratic party fears the truth and I was further su prised to gee other denunciations, in partisan language, entirely out ot place in an onicia." or' semi omciai- aocu menr. prepared "with a single eye to the truth." Under the official mantle of Mr. Wells, the author .appears as the selected and inspired champion ot the financial policy of the .Republican party. Under such circumstances a private citi zen, with nothing but-the official report, made under authority of law, to guide him in his researches, amid the clashing of ng ores and the maze of conflicting theories of high officials, may well hesitate before entering such a field of controversy. Be lieving, however, that the public, welfare will be promoted by the fullest comparison of views on all sides, and that by thorough investizal.Ion "the truth" may be arrived at, I propose to submit some considerations on this vexed- question of our national finances,', as" presented in- this -address, claiming no official inspiration, but only an honest intention to state lacts as they ap pear in official reports, and to consider them In their true relation to our national finances, and the Interests ot the tax-pay ing people. -What did to otee m 1865?" The first point made in the address is the amount of indebtedness in isto. It t stated that the ascertained debt of thn United States on the 1st day of April, 1865, as entered on the-. books of the Treasury, amounted to $2. 366 955,077; that four months afterwards on 1st August, 1865 the debt, as shown on the books, was 2,.57.6SU,oil; aud that the latter sum has beeu assumed ot late to have been the maximum debt of the country at any ono time. This assumption is stated to be incorrect, tor the reason tnat these ngures only embraced the amountof debt actually entered on the books of the Treasury, when there existed at that time a liability tor large sum tor which the Government was bound, but not tut-n liquidated, ana wnicn has since been recognized ana paia. This liability is stated to have been, in round numbers, S800.000.000. .No person, I apprehend, at all con vers ant with our financial affairs, supposed for a moment that the published statements ot public debt referred to In April and Aus- ust, lsea, represented tne aggregate liaoiu- ties of the Government growing out of the war.' If there are any "Democratic lead ers" who made such representations, "they were certainly mistaken in the tacts. Evervbodv knows, or ought to know, that the monthly statements issued by the Sec retary of the Treasury embrace only that part ot the mueoteaness oi tne tiovern ment represented by bonds, treasury notes. or other forms of obligations, and the cur rency called "greenbacks." It is no doubt true, therefore, that the indebtedness of the Government, liquidated and unliquidated, amounted in the year 1S65 to the sum of $3 287,733,320, as claimed, and more than that, as we will find; but that only proves that when the Republican leaders pointed to the reports of the Secretary, showing the indebtedness to Oe only .o.ualJ,671, in answer to the assertion of the "Democratic party leaders," that the "burden ot debt imposed upon the country by the war was from three to four thousand million dol lars." tbev were themselves keeping back irora the people the fact that an indefinite amount of indebtedness was yet in the background, unliquidated, which would swell the amount to the sum estimated by the "Democratic party leauers." But the important part of this statement Is the assertion that "since that date the Republican twrty has paid over S800 000.- 000 or one-quarter of the principal of the publio debt, Desiaes paying tne interest." Again it is said, "We have paid $800,000, 000 of our debt in the last three years, and at least $200,000,000 of extra interest or guaranty, the latter paid in consequence of the dishonest purposes ot the Democratic Dartv." This is the keynote of the address It is the great point, to sustain which all the figures and ' statements are directed. Now. bear in mind that this $800 000,000 ot the "publio debt," this "one-gtiarter of the principal or tne puouc aeow auegea to have Deetrpaio, is auiuitteu never. to nave been included in the statements of public debt at all- But is alleged that at tne close ot the war viz: in April, 1865 there was a large amount ot Indebtedness not liquida ted, and therefore not embraced in the statements of public debt, which has since been paid. It is, i.o doubt, true that a con siderable portion ot this unliquidated in debtedness has been adjusted and paid .dur ing the last three years oi enormous re ceipts. It would De strange, indeed, it such were not the fact. But this affords no ground for tne assertion tnat "one-quarter of the principal of the public debt has been paid, as we enau see. xaa auuross states the receipts into the Treasury from April 1S65. to 30tn o une, ist, as louows : l-pnm Rnlt ms..... 54B.97C,5 From internal revenue From miscellaneous.. ...... B12.338.27H 178,743,769 Total 01,540,058.583 For the present purpose I will assume the fisruresas correct, and consider the facts as presented. I shall endeavor to show bereaiter, nowevei, mau mo receipts irum 1st July, I860, instead of from 1st April, 1865, amounted to mors than the amount here stated. The address then proceeds to state that, at the surrender of the rebel armies in April, 1865, the Government was liable on contracts executed, or in process ot execu tion; that it owed the troops back pay, &c; that "large payments, the liability tor which actuallv existed during the time, and which were properly part and parcel of the expenses of active war, were carried over into the year succeeding the war, and were then largely paid trom the enormous receipts of revenue for that year." 1 And further, ia explanation, it says : This liability for "bact pay, for the iiav of the troops to the date of their possible dis charges, for their transportation, . and for the settlement of contracts, formed a Dart of the debt of the United States on the 1st qf. A prtl. 1865, M much as If It had been all settled, and the bonds Issued and entered o i the books of the Treasury . Department.

J1865, till 30th June, 1866, amounted to $774,856,- 861. .iiij. i-.-j A-,,,' The following conclusion is then arrived at; :. - : -;. - , -, ' ., s -.. - ., i Vlt is, therefore, not only legitimate, but strictly in accordance with the facts, to as sume that thit large expenditure of nearly $800,000,000 from April 1, 1865, to June 30, isobv was In every sense a war expenditure, and that it was a-liability on the 1st of August, 1865,'? &o. :; It is surprising that any. person, official or private citizen, should assume that the total expenses on account of the army and navy trom 1st July, 1865, till 1st July, 18b(i, were "toar expenditures," chargeable to the public debt as it existed on 1st August, 1865. It is not doibted that a considerable amount of the expenditures charged on ac count of the War and Navy Departments rrom 1st April. 1865, till 1st July, 1866, wat on account of liabilities incurred before the close ot the War. Such liabilities are yet in existence, and will remain unsettled - for years. But the J sum stated is en tirely , .too large. It . Is preposter ous to set up all the expenses of the army and navy till. 1st July, 1866,' as part ot the war debt existing in August, 1803. . . ...... ..... In addition to these expenses, the ad dress claims still further deductions, as fol lows: . , - , . , .; "But the liabilities which existed at that date were even more. , There were the debts which humanity and honor alike have imposed upon the country, and which (Jongress has recognized and paid. . We were then liable for pensions for the equal ization of bounties, for further arrears of pay ot deceased soldiers, for the claims of states, tor the property ot loyal men des troyed, tor additional prize money, for the reconstruction of the rebellious States,' for the care ot the freedmen, and the burial of the dead.

I regret the necessity of questioning statement esteemed so favorable to ."the credit of the United States." Butthe cred it of the United States will be best sub served, I apprehend, in the promulgation ot the "truth;" and if this gratifying statement is not based on the actual facts, it is ot vital importance to the people as well as the "credit ot the United States," that its fallai les should be exposed. : Observe, now, in this statement showing a reduction of $302 733 329 in the last three' years, is an item of $414,196,377, being for .fHsbursements by the War Department fr m April 1 till June 30. I860. What has this to do with the question of amount of mueoteaness on the 1st of August, 1865. and reduction of the public debt made since that timer The disbursements having been made, the indebedness was liquidated, so tar as the creditors ot the Government were concerned, when the payment was made. The payment could not have been made without the means. It the disbursements were made in greenbacks they would pear in the Treasury statements of public debt: in like manner, if in seven-thirty notes, compound interest notes, or certifi cates of indebtedness, all of which are included in the public debt statement As au item of expenditure in the rear, it, ot course, forms a part; but it has no other relation to the amount ot Govern ment indebtedness on the 1st of August, 1865- Having been expended in the period named, it passes into the general aggregate of expenditures for the fiscal year 1864-5, with theotner expenditures ror tnat year, It cannot, therefore, be deducted from the expenditures on account of the army made after 1st July, 1865, nor allowed as a set off trom the collections made thereafter. The debt statement of 1st August, 1865, era braced all liquidated debt, whether repre sented by bonds, compound-interest notes, seven-thirty notes, certificates ot indebt edness, or graeubacks at that time, and this laree item having been expended before the 30th June, cannot be added to the debt of August, 1865. It the disbursements were made in currency, that is included; the same if in seven-thirty notes, 01 other forms of indebtedness used. This sinel item disposes of more than half the amount of public debt claimed to have been paid off during the last mree years. With regard to the balance of this sum claimed to have been applied to the rmv inent ot the public debt, embraced In army and navv expenditures during the last three years, it is only necessary to say that no authority or data wnatever is presented for auv such showing. 11 is simply an as Riimntion. supported by no evidence, and, therefore, no means presented whereby to test its accuracy. But even if we admitthe correctness of this assumption, the facts would still show most extraordinary ex penses on account of these departments.

"These extraordinary receipts do not appear in the general state ment of receipts and expenditures, al though the departments have the benefit of the money, the same as if It had been collected by taxation.-' In the War Depart ment alone it is officihlly stated these re ceipts from sales of property, since the 1st of July, 1865, and up"till 1st Julv, 1868, ' amounted to $74,745 610; and the Navy Department is reported to have re ceived during the same period, the sum ot $40,628 664, making $115,374,180 receiv ed by the War and Navy Departments, in addition to the regular appropriations, and expended by them. In the address no mention is made or these receipts. This vast sum is totally ianorett in this semi-offi cial document.' 1 ' Now add this sum of $115,374,180, re ceived from ; sales of property, supplies. &c-,to the balance of admitted expendi ture, as above, of $128,427,495, and we have an aggregate of $243,801,675 for the three years, or an average of $81,267,225 per an num of net expenses tor the army aud navy, stripped of all extraordinary charges, and In cluding only tne pay proper and other ex penses connected with a "peace establish ment." And this, too, . notwithstanding they have the continued use of large amounts of material and supplies held over irom oeiore tne war. ana not sold, Dut kept for the equipment and maintenance of the respective forces.

They may be economical, for aught that appear-. Hut the lact is plain that these expenditures are enormous; and whether, they, are the result of reckless extravagance, or of a policy or system es tablished by Radical legislation, requiring a large standing army aud consequent ex penditures in its maintenance, is immate rial.' me responsibility ana culpability are tne same in eitner case.

Let us proceed to test its accuracy. EXPENDITURES FROM 1ST JULY, 1865, TILL 1ST JULY, 1868. The official reports of the Register of the the Treasury, embraceed iu the reports of the Secretary ol the Treasury, on the finances, state the expenditures of the last two fiscal years as follows : Ending 30th June. 1868 0530.750.940 48 1S67 38 729.129 33 " 1868'. 371.650.325 74 11JSO9.030.395 55 Add amonnt of exponditures, by War and Navy Departments, . from proceeds of sales of propert.r. Ac, not embraeed in Register's ' reports, (see Mr. Delmar's letter). 0146,015.855 52 Total expenditures.. .01.385,046,151 07 Or an average of 0461,683,050 per an num. Now, deductions are claimed as ex traordinary expenses, growing im mediately out of the war, as fol lows: , ' ' Interest on pifblio debt 0438,716,793 Pensions (Mr. Well's es timate) 63 828.9.5 Bounties 49.382,859 State war claims 12.330.1HS Claimsofloaloitizens.. Il.lll.3ii0 0574.370.1 00 00 Ba'ance .' 0810,476.051 07 Estimated by Commissioner Wells. Thus, after making these deductions, we find a balance of expenditures in the three years of $310,676 051. or an average ot $270,225,350 per annum for ordinary expenses. and excluding interest on debt, pensions, bounties. State war claims, and claims of loyal citizens. If we were to ded uct $ 150, 000,000 more to cover alleged liabilities con tracted before 1st Julv, 1M65, there would still remain $660,676 051. or an average ex penditure ot 9220,228,683 per annum, near ly four times the expenditures ot the last year of Buchanan's administration, instead of "$15,000,000 less," as stated. I have, in this statement, excluded the $5,617,000 on account of Freedmen's Bureau from the deductions. I have made this showing on the figures presented in the address the "income," or receipts into the Treasury, being set down at $1,540,053 583, in the period from 1st April, 1865, till 30th June, 1868, three and a quarter years. The foregoing calculations bave been made on this basis, assuming the amount of receipts to be correctly stated. I propose now to show that from 1st July, 1865, till 1st July, 1868, a period of only tftree years, the-receipts Into the Treasury were in excess of the amount stated. The official reports of the Register ol the Treasury, accompanying the report of the Secretary ot the Treasury on the finances, state the. receipts each year as follows: 1865- 1866- 7 1867- 8 ( Mr. Delmar's statement) To which a-ld reotipts by United States Treasurer from sales of prop erty and other miscellaneous sources (Mr. Delmar's ttateinent): 1P65 6 1860-7 1867 8 $558,032,620 06 49S 634.010 97 405,633,133 27 65.738,163 14 45.715.162 II 44,57-1,530 37 Total receipts 01.600,820,619 13 Here Is an excess ot $60,262,236 of re ccipts in three years over the amount ol receints for three and a quarter years, as stated in the address. I make no attempt to explain the discrepancy, but simply call attentiou to the fact. If this be the true amount, as 1 have every reason to believe it is,' it increases the amount to be account ed for to that extent. And to this should be udded the receipts for the period from 1st April to 30th June. 1865, stated in the address' at $83,514,162. thus increasing the discrepancy to $143,776,393. EXPENDITURES—CIVIL LIST. ' Let us now contrast some ot the items of expenditure the last three years with those of a similar character during Buchanan's administration. The item of "civil and miscellaneous" expenses is set down at $149,145,805 tor the three years averaging nearly fifty millions per annum. During last vear this item is reported by Mr. Del- ... -f -JfiQW,7. a sum npurlir . r.,,.,1 tr. the entire expenses of the last year of Buchanari'sadministratlon lor all purposes, including the army and navy 1 ' ''''' BUCHANAN'S EXPENSES. Again: The address sets .dowa the ex- penses-of the lat rear of Mr. Buchanan's administration at $70,811,000. , This is in correct. The official reports show that the expenses tor the tlscnl year ending 30th June, 1861, were only $62,537,171. exclusive of principal and interest on the public debt. 1 During' the' year previous, ending 30 h June, I860, they, were $66,010,112. Everybody remembers how these expenses were denounced as extravagant in the po litical canvass of 1860. J They formed the chief piank In the Chicago platform of that year. Yet now the -expenses under the single-'head of "civil and miscellaneous," excluding entirely the army and ' navy, equal ' almost the' - 'entire ' expenses 1 -untier JSuehmuMl n-, . ..-hi tO i.V.'-Kf r-r EXECUTIVE EXPENSES. Take the item of expenditures on account of the "executive." During the two last years of Buchanan's administration, ' the total expenses on account or the executive was $3,709,161, or an average of $1,854,580 per annum. The expenses on account of executive for the year ending 30th . June, 1867,-were 9,603.101.' The average expen ditures under this head' for eight-years previous to 1361 were: $1,883,510 . per. an num.. Assuming the expenses of the year 1867-8 to be the same as those of the year previous the average expenses for the seven years since 1861 will be $5,432,624 per annum, being three timts the average ex penditures of . the eight, years previous. And so we find it in every brauch of the Government, whether directly or remotely connected -. with' war expenses or not Look at the Congressional -expenses, tor instance. During the eight years of Pierce and Buchanan's administrations,' with a full Senate and House, the expenses aver aged $2,530,430 per aunum. During the last seven years we have bad , fractional Uonses-" ten States not being- represented yet the expenses of Congress hav aver aged d,296,8J9 per anuum; an increase of one-third, notwithstanding the diminished representation, and the large savinzs zrow ing out of the Government printing estab lishments These- comparisons- might be continued with the same, and, indeed, more marked results; but it is not nece-sary to pursue tnem lurcher, rney ail concur in establishing the tact: that with unlimited supplies ot "legal' tender,' .called money. mauutactured to order, a general, indiffer ence to economy or expense, has pervaded the party In control ot the appropriations and expenditures; whilst in tne excitement and turmoil of war, and agitation - subse quently, these important matters have been lira great degree overlooked, or concealed trom public view. -, RECAPITULATION. ' i I have now examined the leading points contained in this address.; A recapitula tion is presented in which it js attempted to be shown that the maximum 01 tne pun He debt on 1st August, 1865, was $3,287, 733,329, and a statement of the different lorms in which the debt existed. Practi cally, it is a matter of little importance, ex cept as a statistical fact, whether the pub lie debt was the amount claimed at this par ticular period or not. We know what it is nous We know how much money lies been cellected from the people and expended during the last seven years.' These two amounts comprise the- sum total of ex penses of the Government during four vears of war and three and a half years ol quasi war. The financial exhibit for the last seven years presents the following result Collected from the neonle br internal ' taxes, duties on imports. Ac . $3,457,670,943 All this has been expended, except $107, 641,971, reported In the Treasury on 1st September, 1868. The particular sources from which this vast revenue was collected, are as louows From internal reyenns.. ,.......1.3a4. 570 782 10 FrO'O miscellaneous receipts........ 954,070,144 SS t rom duties on imports... .......... 814.314 815 47 Total.. ..02,467.570,942 62 Of which $824,324,915 was in gold.- The miscellaneous- receipts include premiums on sales of gold not needed for payment of interest, proceeds ot sales ot public lands, captured ana confiscated property, & This sum of receipts represents only the moneys' actually paid into- the Treasury, Commissioner Wells is authority for saying that "not more tnau one-nait 01 the assess ed internal revenue ever reaches the Treasury." ' f ' Now, if to this revenue collected and ex pended we add the increaseof public debt, we shall have a clear view ot the operations ot the last seven and a half years, viz: Collections from duties, taxes,"o.". .02 467.570,943 63 Increase of publio debt...; . 3.444.741'-585 00 Total... 4.91J,3i7.527 52 Less money in Treasury, 1st Scp- ber. 1868 107,641,971 00 Ralanoe i.... 04.894.67556 53 ine total expenditures during tne eight vears o. fierce s and Bu- onanaa'sadministratienj were 500,188.441 97 Excess.... .....04,304,489,114 55 : Assumiug, therefore, that had it not been for the war the expenditures the last seven vears of Republican adnisnistration would not nave exeeaea tnoseoi cue two preced ing Democratic administrations which were denounced as extravagaut aud corrupt, we nnd the excess 01 expenditures chargeable to the war. or increased extravagance, to be 454,304,131, 110. This is a simple statement, notcomoliea- ted with collateral circumstances or detiils. which cannot be denied or evaded. The fact of the collection and expenditure ot the money is shown by the highest offi cial authority. The fact of the increase of the debt is known and admitted by all to property appreciate toe magnitude or these expenditures, it is only necessarv to contrast them with the previous history of tne country, r rom tne rormation 01 the Government till 1861, a period of seventy years, the entire collections were only $1,803,642 259 , and in that period we bad war with Great Britain, on sea and land lor nearly three years; war with Mexico. in which our armies operated on a foreign soil, f 1 r nearly two years, and numerous wars with puwertul Indian tribes. In the face of these astonishing figures and facts, the author ot this- address de clares : "I challenge any one to deny that this exhibit proves that the finances ot the country have been managed by the Repub lican party with a success never before known in the history ot the world." If to make expenditures without prece dent, to ercate a debt in the short space of seven years equal in magnitude to the debts of other natious, tne growtn of centuries. be a 'Success,' then the challenge may pass without answer. If to manage the affairs of Government so that its credit is gradually getting worse its most sacred obligations, resting on its plighted fauh, oearmg six per wuu interest in gold, hawked about the markets in Europe at seventy-three cents on the dollar, when the consols of England, bearing only three per cent, interest, command ninety-six, be a "success," then our policy is a success. If a policy wtvich requires exhaustive taxa tion to sustain it, exceeding that of any country on the globe, increasino- r.hn ,-r. penses 01 living, ana snatching from labor tne proceeus 01 ua nm, oe a "success," then it is a success. Ano, finally, if a financial policy which has banished a sound cur rency of gold and silver, or its equivalent, and Buostitutea a mere paper currency, re deemable in nothing, yet declared a "legal tender," which fluctuates daily in its value, and has depreciated fifteen percent, since the month ot Marco, isw, De a -success," then is this financial policy a decided sue cess; and we may congratulate ourselves, in the glowing language of the address. that "the finances ot the country nave been managed bv the Republican party with success never before known in the history of the world." Havinsr thus reviewed the lcadinp- finan cial points made in the address, I would fain stop; but tnere are some other allesra tions ot a political, yet quasi financial char acter, that deserve notice, I do not propose entering into a political discussion ; but the. reconstruction policy and the status ot the Southern Estates aneci the financial as well as the political interests ot the country, ano are wortuy 01 cuhmu (krnr.irtn in A. miller relatinz solely to thi condition of our national finances. Before proceeding to the consideration of; this nniwHnn. T pan hardly lorbear referring to a statement in the address vituperative of the Democratic party, and indicating in some degree the animus of the author, as follows : "The name of Democrat, in its true sip- nificance, is one which 1 honor and cher- ish, and I hope the day is not far oil when it shall no longer be prostituted to the pur pog4 of a-party which denies every princi- f ptotMiir-ared byiu .name, and which, jiia been tlm party of despotism and of oppres-3 sion ever since I came to man's estate; a party which now rests. its chance of success upon the lgnoranceot its lollowers,ana pro poses to inaugurate war, fraud and violence under the lead of Seymour and Blair." What response needf to be made to such a partisan fulmination t . Nothing, save to poinj; to the history of the couutry.
