The features Of the above statement are the
astonishing decline in our importatons of foreign
goods, the increase in our importation ofspecie
The decline in our export Of specie, and the heavy
falling of in customs duties. IT will be seen from
the above table that the amount of foreign goods
entered for consumption in May last was less than
one-third that of May, 1860, and about one-ffth
hat of May, 1885, the Withdrawals from ware
house having been about the same as in 1859, and
million less than in May 1860. The specie
movement is exactly reversed Instead OF send
ing Eve and half millions to Europe, as we did in
May, 1860, or eleven and half millions, as we did
in May, 1869, we have received three and half
millions from Europe. The customs duties tell
the tale of the folly of the Morrill, tariff The reve
nue. from customs has fallen to one third-the
prohibitory duties imposed by the new tariff
having excluded large number of articles which
have usually contributed to the public income. 1t
is evident that either the Morrill, tariff must be
repealed or we must resort to direct taxation to
support the government.

1t is rumored that the government has come to
the conclusion to raise the money for the war by
the issuing Of Treasury notes in small amounts
and that Mr.. Chase will ask Congress for authority
to raise $3.50 900 900 of such notes. This will not
be popular scheme in Wall street, as the brokers
and bankers will make nothing by it. So long as
the government is conducted decently, such notes,
bearing per cent interest, would circulate among
the people at par, and would be cashed anywhere
without discount. The disadvantage of the scheme
consists in its involving the repeal of the Trea
suly act, and tacit suspension Of specie payments
by the government as of course, the only way of
getting such notes into circulation would be to
pay them out to soldiers sailors and purveyors of
supplies. We presume that Congress will tho
roughly ventate this and the various other
schemes proposed before acting upon any one of
hem. This country is so enormously wealthy that
The government ought to be able to raise oil the
money it needs-say 5000, 900, 0O0-in any one of
