Metallic Cwrency.-A writer in the New
York Mercantile Advertiser, speaking Of the
Consequences of establishing an exclusively
metallic currency, saysL
" The capital Of the country will thereby be
reduced 10 one tenth Of what it is now, and,
consequently, all the business of the couptry
must be reduced in The same proportion. II
the capital is reduced, the number OF operatives
that can be employed must be proportonably
reduced for, without capital, little can be eff
fected. Without capital. there will be no want
Of stores therefore no one will build, and the
carpenter and mason are thrown out of employ.
Without capital the manufacturer must close
his factory. Without capital there can be but
little commerce, and few ships will be required,
and very few ship carpenters will be wanted
to supply the ships. In short, adopt the me-
talic currency, and you reduce the amount Of
the circulating medium, deprive the employer
Of capital, the mechanic Of work-you distress
and impoverish the mechanic and farmer, and
will coon reduce all classes 10 penury and

collected that u few weeks since u question

that after careful examination of The Consli-
