The writer contends further, that the currency
of the country amounts to $3O0,0O0,00O; the
debt to $l,7OO,OOO,OOO; and the property to
$4,000, 100000. His conclusions are az fol-
lows:
lst. That there is convertible property enough
in action to pay off the debt of the country, (if
such thing is supposable which never happens,
without making sacrifices, or materially distur-
bing commerce.
End. That the actual currency of the country
is sufficient for this purpose, and that the amount
of currency is rapidly increasing.
I'd. That in such condition of things no
general bankruptcy can happen; but that it is
possible, in case of pressure, there may be many
cases of individual failure, and also that some
railway undertakings hastily and imprudently
undertaken may fail.
4th. That prices will be maintained, and the
capital of the country continue rapidly to ac-
cumulate, as its vast undertakings, its increas-
ing population, and its rich harvests continue
to 60 on.-Ec.
