SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY, MARCH g. 1868


The Chicago Times corrects the errors
that many have fallen into in calculating
the relative values Of paper and gold:
The relations of the two are determined,
not by difference, but by ratio. 1t is plain
that where gold is worth 200 cents in pa
per, the ratio is as one to two; that is,
two OF paper equal one of gold, and one
Of paper equals half in gold, or fifty
cents. Similarly, ii gold touch 400, paper
is worth 25 cents if it reach !, 200, paper
will be worth 10 cents; and if the price of
gold should ever touch 10000, n paper
dollar would be worth just cent. In that
case the values would be thus ascertained:
AS 10000 is to 100, so 100 is to /.
We have hence the rule-one which
every school-boy is familiar with, but which
some financial writers seem to be blissfully
ignorant Of AS the price of gold in paper
is to one hundred cents, so is one hundred
to the value of one dollar in gold. To
make the thing more plain, we append a
table giving the value of the paper dollar
for different prices OF gold, which may
serve for future reference:

Women and .E;r War.

r. the March number Of the .lHlndic
.Nuysei,sc, there is timely " Call to my
Countrywomen, by Gen. HAMILTON, from
which We extract 4 few paragraphs:
WOMEN AND THE WAR;
In tlc newspapers and magazines YOU
shall see many poen5-written by women
who meelly term themselves weak, and
n0destly profess Ia represent only the
weak among their sex-tmefully discuss
ing the duties which the veal; owe to
the country in days like these. The in
variable conclusion is, that though they
cannot fight, because they are not men,
or 90 down to nurse the sick and wound
ed because they have children to take care
of.-or write effectively, because they do
not know how,--or do any great and he
roc thing, because they have not the
ability,-they can pray; and they gencr-
ally DO close with ii melodious and beau
tifnl prayer. Now praying is a good thing.
II is. in fact, the very best thing IN the
world 10 do, and there is no danger OF our
having too much gift but if women, weak
or strong, consider that praying is ali they
can Or ought to do for their country, ana
so settle down contented with that, they
make as great mistake as if they did not
pray AZ all True, women cannot Tight
and there is no call for any great number
of female nurses; Notwithstanding this, !
believe that to-day TIE issue of this war
depends quite as much upon American
women as upon American men, de-
ponds too, not upon the few who write,
but upon the many who do not The
women of the revolution were not only
Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Reed, and Mrs. Schuy-
Ter, but wives of the farmers and shoema-
kers and blacksmiths everywhere. 1t is
not Mrs. Stowe, or Mrs Howe, or Miss
Stevenson, or Miss Dix, alone, who is to
save the country, but the thousands upon
thousands who are at this moment darning

The Late Depreciation of Paper not
Real.

The able financial writer of the Herald,
speaking of the late rise in gold and the
depreciation in paper, argues that this de-
probation was apparent and not real, from
the fact that of all the thousand articles of
merchandise and kinds of property which
are interchanged for money, gold was the
only one which rose six per cent in one
day. The writer continues:
The same, or nearly the same, quantity
of greenbacks which yesterday would have
paid for an acre of land, a house, most
kinds of goods, bonds and dividend pay
ing stocks, barrel of flour, cargo of
wheat, tea, sugar or dry goods, will pay
for them to-day. No one objects to take
greenbacks; on the contrary, every one
complains of their scarcity, and one main
reason why Mr.. Chase cannot negotiate a
loan is because there are not, at the finan-
cial centres, enough greenhacks to pay for
twenty millions of bonds at any price
whatsoever. Had the depreciation of the
currency, which appears to result from the
advance in gold, been real, as was the case
with the continental money and the French
assignats, everything would have risen in the
ratio of gold, people would have objected
to sell their property for greenbacks, the
banks would have been flooded with them,
and it would have been quite impossible to
buy with greenbacks, at or near par, such
sound lucrative investments as United
States skies, Erie preferred, Michigan Cen
trail, Metropolitan Bank stock, Galena or
Rock Island. The fact is, the advance in
gold is in the main the product of specu-
lation, and the currency depreciation which
appears to result from it is fictitious. There
are, at the present time, over one hundred
individuals who traffic daily in gold on the
curbstone in William street and in the old
and the public boards. These individuals
own little or no gold, and use little or none
in their transactions, though they buy and
sell hundreds of thousands Of dollars with
each other daily. 1t is easy to see that,
such an arena of speculation once opened,
theS natural tendency of gold to appreciate
in consequence of paper issues, must be
vastly accelerated. These spectators
have among them bid up the price of the
metal to a figure which it would not have
reached in two years had the laws of trade
been unassisted
