Had the government adhered to the sound policy it began with when it passed an ex- port tax, payable in specie, to guarantee the inter- est on its first loan, it might have avoided — at least so long as by hook or by crook, at whatever cost, specie could be obtained — its unenviable preeminence among all modern governments as Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE RESOURCES OF THE CONFEDERACY 1 75 an exponent of forced loans and redundant note issues. Southern civilization, with sins enough to answer for al...ready, might have escaped the crowning indictment that after centuries of money exchanges it brought Anglo-Saxon Americans back to plain barter in their market-places.
The first loan of 15 millions was negotiated on a specie basis, and it was successful. The South- ern banks, holding perhaps 25 millions of specie, agreed to redeem in specie such of their notes as should be paid for the bonds, and for a year or two the interest, guaranteed by the export tax, was paid in specie. The second issue, in May, of 50 millions, was accompanied with no such guarantee of interest payments.
