is quite an anomoous circum.tance, that with five
hundred millions Of dollars in circuton there should
be scarcity Of money at the Treasury, scarcity OF
money in the bsnks and scarcity of money IN all the
places where 1t Is usually held in muss. The anomoy,
however. Is not difcnlt to eIpl,in.
BY artificial means and means wholly unnecessary
and unwarrantable tie value OF this money las been
so deprecated that 1t requires at least fifty Zines as
much Of it make any and every Of purchase at
peesen as it did Of old The consequence Is that each
individual citizen must carry In his pocket fifty times
as much money for current expenses az he Formerly
found necessary; 30 that formerly required circua'
ton VI ten millions Of dollars to perform the every day
business Of the Inhabitants Of specific area OF territory
1t now requires just fifty times much OF the present
currency, or five hundred millions Of the present Con-
ederate notes. to perform tie same funotons FOR the
territory IL very easy to Sec therefore, why
money is scarce with n circulation Of five hundred
millions outstanding. 1t is all in the pockets Of the
people. The people are obliged to possess great guam

The fact is Il at the Spectators OF the Confederacy
have mounted guard over the Treasury. They put up
new battery around it every day Or iwo In the shape
of new brokers shop. and their guns now bear down
upon it from every direction. They do not mean that
their boarded goods wares and merchandise, groceries
and specie shall be deprecated By "ny circulation
which the government IN its necessity may put FORTH

exact guage OF this business of paper money and
though the Confederacy may load Itself with hundreds
OF millions of debt and the soldier and producer may
lind tleir paw losing in value every day. yet their
property improves upon the COMMON distrsss-they
prosper as the country beeds.
