SECRETARY MeoUIIooH ON THE CURRENCY.
| Cincinnati, Oct 13-The Secretary of the
! Treasury of the United States made speech
at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Wednesday night
yIa oil Ia II txbo1 oo bod
| an irredeemable currency as an evil which
circumstances may foI a time render neces-
| sity, but which is never to be sustained as
| policy He favored wel-secured convertible
| paper currency. No other can, to any ex-
tent, be a proper substitute for coin.
| For all ordinary home transactions paper
currency is sufficient but there are constantly
occurring periods when balances between
counties and in the United States between diff
| ferent sections, must be settled in coin When
ever specie is needed for this purpose, the pa
per currency should be convertible, and cir
culation not so convitable will not be and
ought not to be tolerated by the people The
| present unconvertible currency of the United
States was necessity of the war, just now the
currency should be brought up to a specie
standard; and he saw no way of doing it but
by withdrawing portion Of it from circula-
| ton.
The extreme high prices now prevailing in
dictate that the business of the county is in an
unhealthy condition. We have circulating
medium altogether larger than needed for Ii
ultimate business, AMI the excess is used in
speculation. The United States to-day is the
best market in the world for foreigners to sell
in The consequence is Europe is selling us
more than she buys Of us including our secu-
rites, which ought not to go abroad, and there
is debt rolling up against us that must be
settled, in part at least, with coin.
If Congress shall, early in the approaching
session, authorize the funding of legal tenders,
and the work, of reduction is commenced and
prudently carried on, we shall reach it, pro-
badly, withoutinjury and embarrassment to le-
gal business If not, we shall have brief
period of seductive prosperity, resulting in
widespread bankruptcy and disaster. He was
| hopeful that by wise legislation we will escape
financial collapse and that the currency may
be brought to specie standard without those
financial troubles which have in all countries
followed a protracted and expensive war.
