Sumner expresses confidence that his proposed measures will align national obligations with coin value.

It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
More precious far at that moment the consolation that he had labored for his fellow-men, and the joyous confidence that all his cares had helped the Progress of his race!
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
