Ut will probably be perceived at once by
most readers, that the relative proportion of thai
part OF the capital Of a country which is loaned
out on interest, will pay towards the expenses OF
government, in case Of equal taxation, is in the
proportion lis annual interest bears TO the whele
sum Of the annual products of labor and the
balance Of accumulated capital combined, after
deducting the amount OF interest paid by the
products OF labor. The whole annual product,
OF, labor being 1900 ,00O, 900 dollars, and the
whole annual interest paid being so, 900 900 dol.
lars, the proportion is therefore as 60 ,Oo0, 900 is
TO l44O 100000 dollars or the products of labor
IN connex'on with tho fixed capital, pays abou,
24-25ths Of the taxes for the support of govern.
mentor Just in this proportion as the interest
OF the capital loaned and value Of the product,
Of labor, may bear to each other.

country, unless sold to forsign people. any

rency Of paper or yard stick Of wood, provided
they are true in their characters, are ss useful Al,
il both were Of gold. But if a shopkeeper had
all the yard sticks in the world in his posse. sion
or nation had all the specie. the useful stock Of
the products Of labor would not be increased
a fraction thereby unless the shop keeper sold
hl, yard sticks, or the nation sold its specie to
other nations, in exchange for articles Of con.
sumption.

RANT-Oul On the Currency.

On Friday evening last, the citizens of this
place, were favored with the company of a
Mr.. RA,r.ou, one Of the newly created
species Of government" hircings" who ara
obliged to earn their reward before they re-.
ceve it. As far as we could understand, Mr..
Rantoul's object was to convince the peo-
pie Of the benefits they would receive from
the establishment of the Sub-Trcasury, and
the consequent introduction Of a Specie cur
although as he did not favor US with
the results that had been produced elsewhere
where those blessings had been enjoyed, it
was difficult tn trace any connection between
them and his discourse. spending per-
hnps half an hour in saying his A b C's down
to about the third letter Of the alphabet, Mr..
Rantoul informed us, that the whole specie
in the world amounted TO 5000, 900, ,O0O-ono
tenth part of which was in the possession of
tho French na'ion-but he did not tell US
how they came with it, or what was its effect
now they had obtained IT,. As il was, how
ever, nearly all coined from the gold and
silver images Of saints-stolen from the
churches Of Italy and Spain by Buonapar,c-
II must doubtless have snnc,ifying effect on
the prosperity Of the people. This perhaps
accounts for their being willing to work for 70
small an amount Of il, about 12 cts. per day.
Mr.. Rantoul likewise informed us that the
first specie currency coined in Italy was of
copper, and stamped with the image of an
OK, (tho latin of which he informed Us was
bcquer,) the value Of which it represented
as it also did the value of man. for which il
was frequently exchanged. Sir. Rsnioui
also said, that IN ancient times. when a per-
son was suspected Of having received o bribe,
II was said Of him he has an ox on his
tongue" Mr.. RanioR did NOT, however, in
form us whether he had been exchanged for
a a"specie OK" but ~ he opened his mouth
in praise Of Mr. VAN. BUREN'S Sab. Treas

mark Of the beasi on his tongue.

"What Mr.. Benton s. Mr.. Van Buren
once thought Of such power as this may
perhaps be gathered from the following
extract from the same report before
quoted. 1t will be remembered that J.
q. Adams was then President, and it
would seem from the language of the
Report, that they feared he would use
the same means to perpetuate his pow
er, that has been since adopted, by them
selves, to a greater extent than they
then predicted.
"The whole Of this great power will
centre in the president. The king OF
England is the fountain of honor :
the President ofthe United States is tn c
source of patronage. He presides over
the entire system Of federal appoint
ments, jobs, and contracts. He has
power over the support of the in
divduals who administer the system
He makes and unmakes them. He
chooses from the circle Of his friends
and supporters, and may dismiss them,
and, upon all the principles of human
action, wH dismiss them, as often as
they disappoint his expectations. His
spirit will animate their actions in all
the elections to state and federal offices.
There may be exceptions, but the truth
of a general rule is proved by the ex-
ception. The intended check and con-
troll Of the senate, without new consti-
tutional or statutory provisions, will
cease to operate. Patronage will PEN
citrate this body, subdue its capacity of
resistance, chain it to the car Of power,
and enable the president to rule as cas-
lily, and much more securely with, than
without, the nominal check of the SEN
ate. If the president was himself the
officer Of the people, elected by them,
and responsible to them, there would be
less danger from this concentration Of
all power in his hand but it is the bu-
siness Of statesmen to act upon things
as they are, and not as they would wish
them to be. We must then look for
ward to the time when the public reve-
nue. will be DOUBLED when the civil
and military officers of the federal gov
ernment will be ouADRUPLED when its
influence over individuals will be mul-
tiplied to an indefinite extent when
the nomination by the president can car
ry any man through the senate, and his
recommendation can carry any measure
through the two houses Of congress

be but the government ofone man and
what is the government Of ono man but
a monarchy? Names are nothing
The nature Of a thing is in its substance
and the name soon accommodates itself
to the substance. The first Roman en-
peror was styled emperor ofthe republic,
and the last French emperor took the
same title and their respective coun-
tries were just as essentially y monarchi-
eoi before as after the assumption Of

opposite 10 any extent, has occurred but once
IN the history Of mankind--and even that
people are about to fail in proving ts full
benefits from the lack Of sufficient stability
to withstand the intoxication occasioned by
.he excess of prosperity produced by only
the practical developements Of it's good.
The writer has before stated that in al
civilized countries as the products of labor
fell IN price, the rsi1drd OF labor fell in q still
greater proportion. lie will now proceed Il
illustrate this seeming paradox. In oil civil
llzcd countries, there is in use some specie,
Of circulating medium the value of which a,
a standard Of exchange, is established by
law-and in oil civilized countries there are
the two characterization and debtors.
We will suppose that the fixed amount o.
interest to be paid by the debtor to the credi
tor class Of the community in the Uniteo
States, together with their proportion of In.
expenses OF government should amount tt
100000 dollars annually-at the same
time The circulating medium amounts to
100000 dollars, as before stated-tht
products Of the labor Of the country we will
value as before at I500,0OO,OOO dollars an
nnally-the whole population of the Unitet
States at fifteen millions, consequently if the
productive classes received the vhole product
OF their labor as its reward, without deduction
It would amount on an average to 100 dollar.

But as there Is nothing to be procured neces

4" So late as the rcign Of Queen Mary,
the dwelling of an English peasant was
little superior in comfort and cleanliness
to what we observe in the clay-built
novels of The Irish. The dwellings of
the common people, according to Eras-
mus, had not yet attained the convenience
of chimney to let out the smoke, and
the flooring Of their huts was nothing
but the bare ground their beds con-
sisted Of straw, among which was an
ancient accumulation Of filth and refuse,
with a hard block Of wood for pillow.
And such in general was the situation
Of the laboring classes throughout Eu-
rope. Fortescue, who wrote in the
reign Of Henry W., speaking of the
French peasantry, says, "Thay drink
water, thay cate apples, with bread
right brown, made of rye f; thay cate no
fesche, but, if it be selden littell
larde, or of the entrails or heds of beasts
sclayne for the mobiles or merchants of
the lond."
