THE FINANCES OF THE COUNTRY.

It's we'll known from the public declarations
of Mr.. McCulloch and Of Mr.. Freeman Clarke,
Comptroller of the Currency, that they con
slider the currency as redundant, and appre-
lyhend from it's continuance or increase a revul-
sion which will cause widespread disaster
throughout the land But it is equally Ger tain
that, at present, no essential reduction of cur
rency can be suddenly made without serious
disturbance of all moneyed interests Money
has become comparatively scarce, and the rate
of interest has risen: La the South money is
worth from ten to fifteen per ct. year, n the
best security personal and real. Money can
hardly be obtained, except on call, in the North
err. cities, and then at seven and eight per ct.
Loans on time range from ten to twelve per CT,
and are difficult Of negotiation. The banks
are cramped for want Of bank notes, even to
pay depositors' checks In Boston banks such
is the scarcity Of bank bills that they certify
checks which pass as currency. All these are
the usual signs of an inflated currency and are
significant premonltions. An immediate and
large contraction would expedite a crisis and
crash-an expansion would afford temporary
relief, but would soon aggravate the disorder
and render it incurable.
What course the Secretary OF the Treasury
will propose is not made public but according
to rumors it will not be one that will very much
alarm spectators, nor produce any commotlon
in Wall street The rational currency may e
increased ia amount to an exteut that may DC
necessary to supply circulation in the Southern
States, through national bank TO be established
there. AS to the floating debt of the Gov
eminent, including legal tenders bearing la
terest, it may be proposed to offer six rerct.
! loan, unlimited as to time and amount, tor the
gradual absorption of such portion Of the debt.
In the present condition Of the money market
large loan would not be taken at six per ct.
Such loan can only be practicable when the
supply Of currency is in excess Of the demands
of speculation. But when speculation shall
have run it's natural course and produced its
inevitable results, and confidence in Govern
ment securities shall have been strengthened
by economical expenditures, the loan may be
effected. IN Int. ..r
