Before the session Of Congress, the Northern
press devoted all the space it could spare from
the negro question to discussing the currency.
1t seemed to be taken for granted that the
circulation was redundant, and that currail.
mcnt was demanded. That. in fact, was sup
posed to be the grand panacea which was to
purge to its pristine health the diseased and
suffering currency. Now, the Comptroller of
the Currency reports that the circulation is
only four hundred and sixty millions Instead
Of one thousand millions, as had been AS
sulned when all these pretty articles were
written. AS the currency stands at one forty
seven for one hundred, this figure Of four
hundred and sixty-two millions represents, in
fact, only about three hundred millions.
Surely this amount is not too large for pop
ulation OF thirty to thirty five millions 1t is
impossible that the currency can be very re-
dundant when the money market is so tight
