Business and Finance.

The business of the country is laboring under
the difficulties of tight money market, and all
sections and classes feel the pressure This strin-
eency is the result of the Protective Policy, as e1-
emplifed in the Tariff of 1916, now in force. by
its unjust and nordinate taxes, it has raised from
the consumers of the country far more money
than the wants even of our extravagant Govern
ment REQUIRE. This money has been collected in
specie, the constitutional currency and legal ten
der of the land, and is now deposited in the ma
tional sub treasures. Here it lies safe ana un-
connected with the banks and banking power and
patronage. And the disconnection is right enough;
for such connection is unconstitutional, lnevita
bly, corrupting, and dangerous to the liberty and
interests of the sections and peoples OF the coun-
try. But while it is right that the money OF the
country should be kept separate from the banks,
we find the withdrawal of so large an amount OF
specie as twenty-five Millions serious embarrass-
ment to our finance and currency. Specie is the
basis upon which the paper credit OF the banks
are issued, and it is estimated that banks cannot
do business safely without an average basis OF say
one-third specie, for the redemption of their pa
per. When, therefore, so large an amount Of
specie is removed from the currency, there must
follow contraction of the paper credits constitu-
ting loans and Accommodations to the business
community. This is the chief cause of the pres
ent money pressure, and here we are enabled to
see plainly one phase, at least, Of the injury and
distress resulting from Protective Tariff.
Besides the immense amounts squandered in ap-
preparations of the most reckless and profigate
kind to all manner Of schemes of States, compa-
nies, and individuals, sufficient revenue has been
raised by the operations of the Tariff OF '46 to
pay off, in the last four years, about forty one
millions of the public debt, and yet there remains
in the Treasury twenty-five millions undisposed
of. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates tnat,
in little over ayear, there will be surplus in the
Treasury of about forty-four millions. Unless
some disposition is made of it in the mean time,
By which it can be used in commerce, the curren-
cy must be further effected and greater stringency
produced. If the Banks contract their issues SO
as to be safe, business mast be embarrassed; and
if the Banks do not contract, their issues will be
unsafe, and speculation, imitation, panic and dis
sster may ensue.
These are the views now expressed; and it Is
we'll for us to fahom if possible. the depth of any
probable emergeney.-Charleston Mercury.
