small keg buried in the sand This they dug
Out, and, opening it, found ID contained 500 sill.

pieces, valued az SLUG each. The two men with
their treasure have left for PhiIadelphia. where

there can be nothing moro productive OF
dangerous Irregularities than an excess OF
stimulation Had the issues of paper Civ
en- way before the tide that aowed in from
California, we should have been enjoying,
at this time, a suficiency for every bust
ness purpose of money whose character no
bank failure can effect, instead of trashy
currency, which men fear to hold from one
day to another, and concerning whose val
ne, the only thing of which they are fully
convinced is that It is doubtful. c-.t
There never was a more absurd idea, and
yet scarcely one that has been more gener-
ally prevalent, than that banks of issue can
creaie capital. We do not know how many
times we have been informed that if Gin
cinnati could have eight or ten millions Of
bank capital-by which was meant banks
authorized to issue eight or ten millions Of
paper dollars--its prosperity would be ss-
cure. Looking at past events and present
conditions, we have right to believe that
while that eight or ten millions of bank
capital would not have been represented by
single million employed in regular busi-
ness of any kind, it would have been tho
occasion Of an annual fifty millions of speo.
uiation and at least its own bulk in bank
ruptcy. In fact, .the present mercantile
soundness Of Cincinnati is the result of noe
having had that same eight or ten millions
of bank capital; and it is true that the re.
pute for solvency and solidity which this
city enjoys abroad, as well in Europe as
America, is not only attributable, but 7is
actually attributed to the fact that We hare
been in a great measure destitute of those
bank facilities whose services'to the busi-
ness community are at once so specious: In
their promises, and SO dangerous in their
consequences. ss-...;s,--s,D
Whatever may once have been the case,
it is certain now that speculation and
paper oney-banking go together. and that
one is the inducement for and, probably. q
very accurate measure of the other. Now
it would require more space than we have
to spare to enumerate all the mischiefs that
spring from the indulgence Of spirit Of
speculation. To say that in great ma
lority of cases the spcculator ends by inn
poverishing himself is to begin with that
which is OF the least Importance. 1t is the
public that is the sufferer, and If we could
only get the total amount of the tax that u
annually paid by the people of this Union.
in consequence of speculation in articles of
necessity; the sum would appear so enor-,
nous that we should be willing to part
with all the conveniences that spring from
the use of bank-paper-credit, even were
they as great as they.have been represented.
if with it we could get rid of the effect OF
those mischievious operations of which they
have been ever, and now more than ever
before, the origin and exciting cause.-CssA
