The National Finances.
Letter from Secretary McCulloch.

New York, August 23.--In reference to
an invitation to attend dinner of fnanciers
and others in Boston, Secretary MCCUL-
LocH sent letter declining the courtesy
with the following remarks.
Although it was hoped that ere this the
currency of the country would have been
brought nearer TO the specie standard, | am
sure the people have cause for cOngratula
ton that our finances are in so healthy a con-
dition as they are. Since March, 1865, the
war has been brought to a successful conclu-
sion. Immense armies have been disband-
ed; every soldier has been paid before being
mustered out of the service; all maturing
obligations of the Government have been
satisfactorily provided for while the nation
al debt is nearly $250,000,000 less than was
estimated it would be at the present time,
and the reduction of it has averaged for the
past year more than Sl0,000,000 per month.
If no other nation ever rolled up debt so
rapidly, none certainly ever commenced
the reduction of its debt as soon after the
cessation of war.
If our currency is deprecated, we have so
far escaped the financial troubles that usually
exist among nations at the close Of expensive
wars, and which there was reason to appre-
bend would happen to us at the termination
of the great war in which we have been en-
gagged.
If the business Of the country is conducted
upon changing and unsettled basis, it has
been subject to no severe revulsions. If our
taxes are heavy, our resources are almost
unlimited, while the disposition of the
people to bear cheerfully their burdens is a
surprise even to those who have the greatest
confidence in the honor and good faith Of a
free people,
In my opinion the people Of the United
States are to make republicanism illustriOus
among nations by establishing the fact that
their securities are the safest, and that the
people who impose taxes upon themselves
are the most jealous of their national credit.
do not, however, disguise the fact that
great financial difficulties are still TO beOyer-
! come. Our present prosperity is rather APP
parent than otherwise. We are measuring
values by false standard. We are, in fact,
exposed to all the dangers which attend an
inflated and irredeemable currency, which
diminishes labor, the true source Of national
wealth, and stimulates speculation and ex-
travagance, which lead invariably to thrift
lessness and Generalization.
Before the country becomes again really
prosperous, the specie standard must be re-
stored, prices reduced and industry stimu-
lated the product of the country increased;
the balance of trade between the United
States and other nations cease to be against
us; all the great interests of the country
cared for and protected by wise and impair
tial legislation. You viii pardon me for
writing so long letter, and acknowledging
the receipt of your very courteous invitation.
remain very truly, your obedient servant,
HUGH MCCUILOCH,
Secretary Of the Treasury.
