LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1867.

" The perplexities of the money market seem

greater than ever 1" So says the Times, and on
. such a point it is an unquestionable authority.
It has long argued that the exorbitant rate of
interest, or rather of discount, is of an abnormal
character, and that relief must inevitably
and speedily be afforded to the commercial and
manufacturing interests of the country, which
have been suffering severely, if they have not been
altogether paralysed, by tho want of the ordinary
facilities for obtaining pecuniary accommodation !
On the other hand, we have unceasingly

urged that, with the existing monetary
code, the extravagant charge for money,
so injurious to the best interests of the country,
must become the regular and habitual state of
affairs, that the circulating medium, which was
fully adequate to the wants and exigencies of
the industrial population in 1848, when the de-
eared value of our exports was but 51,000,0001.,
must be altogether insufficient in 1856, when that
value was far more than doubled by the salutary
action of Free Trade, and when there were other

causes in operation, tending to the further reduc-
tion of the available stock of bullion in the hands
of the Bank—independent of the demand occa-
sioned by increased population, and the consequent
addition to our internal trade !

The accuracy of our statements is now fully
established, not only by the various restrictions
recently adopted by the Bank, but also by the re-
luctant admissions of tho bullionist organ. In
the very remarkable arliele which this day apb-
peared in the Times, and which will be found in
another- part of our impressiou, it is admitted
that, "under no circumstances can a return to
cheap money be anticipated for several years !"
Our views have thus been fully corroborated by
an unwilling but trustworthy witness. And we
have now to Ilk the industrial population
of Great Britain,,ivhethor they will still patiently
submit to contiiltred loss, and witness with equa-
nimity their legitimate profits transferred to the
hands of greedy money-lenders, and themselves
and their families brought to poverty and destitu-
tion through their own careless indifference re-
specting a question of vital importance, on which'
