What is Our True Policy ?

1t is Herein Considered. By VIRGINIAN.
Gary & Clemmit, Publishers, Richmond, Viz
ginia.'
This is the title of a series of pamphlets to
be issued by GARY & CLEMNITT, the first
number of which has already been published,
and is now lying before us. The author is, as
he claims to be, Virginian, although we have
authority for saying he is not, as has been
supposed, aresident of this city. lie describes
his work, in the preface, as san attempt to
survey the whole policy of the country, and to
examine what measures are best suited TO the
public interest" 1t was his original purpose
to bring the whole out in two or more Oc
tavo volumes, but he soon found it impracti-
cable, in consequence of the pressure Of bust
ness engagements. The condition of the cOun-
try, meanwhile, was such as to require the
immediate adoption of measures "tO restore
something like organization to society, revenue
to the public treasures, and activity to trade"
This, then, is the object of the work.
So far as we can Judge from the specimen
before us, the author has acquitted himself
with great ability. He betrayS a thorough ac-
quaintance with his subject, a full knowledge
of the condition of the country, profound
thought, and habit of dealing with financial
questions of the highest order and most diff
cult solution. The question of most immcdi-
ate interest at this time is, how shall the far
mer obtain money enough to put his farm in
working condition-that is to say, to buy i'm
plcmentS and manurcS, and pay his hirellngs
from day to day? In order to enable himto d"
this, the author proposes to establish in each
State a " Real Estate Loan Company" which
shall make the necessary advances under GER
tain conditions. The most remarkable feature
Of the system is, that the money loaned is never
demanded, and that the repayment of the
capital lent is held to be acquitted by the pay
ment of interest. This seeming paradox is eX-
planned at length in the work. We need
merely glance at it here. For example: JOHN
Dos has an estate valued at $4,000. lie
wishes to borrow $4,000 to restock his farm,
&c, ruined by neglect or by war. He
applies to the company. They take mort
gage of his whole estate, and lend him half the
value of it. (They never lend more than half
the value.) They charge him eight per cent.
OF this six per cent. pays the interest on the
capital lent, one per cent. defrays the expenses
of the company, and one per cent. goes to form
sinking fund to reduce the body of the debt.
In forty-seven years the whole debt will be ex-
tinguished, and the mOrtgagor will have back
his land free of incumbrance. He will have
paid, at eight per cent, SlS,S 800, and he be-
comes free. Had he borrowed $4,000 on the
usual terms (six per cent? conditioned for the
of the principal at the end of the
term, his account of payments would have
stood thus
Interest at per cent for forty-seven
years, ...'... .'''.''' 5000 OH lUu

ENrIRArION OF RECIPRoCITY.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has Addressed Il circular TO
Collectors of Customs and Agents of the
Treasury, dated March LIST, 1866, advising them
that the Reciprocity Treaty entered into be-
tween the United States and her Brittanic
Majesty, proclaimed September II, 1854, will
expire on the 18th instant. They are directed
to he guided by the several tariff acts now in
force in the assessment and collection Of duties
on all goods imported on and after the 18th in
slant, unless orders from the Treasury Depart
ment are received to the contrary. In deter
mining the value of any goods imported, the
appraisers are instructed to take the actual
market value of such goods, wares or merchan-
disc in the principal markets of either of the
Provinces or of Great Britain.

ONE OF THE BoOEs.-Hon. George W.
Thompson, late Judge of the Wheeling District,
and formerly conspicuous in the politics of this
State, has written book with a queer title,
(which we have fOrgOtten,) and a queerer
phraseolOgy, if we may judge from the
Episcopal Recorder, which says:
eve do not assert that this book is not pro-
found. We only know that it is to us thoroughly
unintelligible. We CROPPED through two pages,
when we came on the third to the following
passage Man becomes the diaphanous ectype
Of the inner spiritual SELF as he is moulded and
mouldS his surrounding organisms from instant
to instant in their animastic propensities, their
human desires and purposes, and in his higher
spiritual manifestations of autopSic willing, in
tcllectualizing and loving "
Some people think the Judges book iSprinted
upside down, thus accounting for the popularity
OF the style. We feel bound to say, after eX-
animation, that the book is not printed upside
down.
The Clarksburg Telegraph suggests that we
will now have in literature style known as the
"Thompsonian or toploitical style, or the high
falutin method of obscuring ideas"
Judge Thompson, in earlier life, wrote abook
which he called " The Category Of the Infinite

clusion set forth in the above passage. He is
evidently progressing.

An Urban Estate Loan Association, on the

This system is not new thing. 1t has
stood the test of one hundred years Of the Sc
yereSt experience. 1t was tried first in PruS-
Sia, after the seven years war, when the
whole country was devastated, and the popu
lation a nation of paupers. 1t gradually eX
tended, so as to include the whole of Ger
many. 1t was tried with perfect success in
Poland and in France, and in 1864 it was final
ly introduced into England, where it threatens
to usurp the place of all other institutions
having the same object. One of its best iea
lures is, that it does not seek to charter any
bank. Its dealings are carried on with the
paper of specie paying banks or banks in good
standing. During its whole course of existence

riod of modern history-although for part of
it, all Germany was in a state of rcyolu-
tion or Subjugation-its stock always approach

fast rendering the three per cents. untashiona-

Every man in Virginia ought to have this
pamphlet. If the people will only study it, it
will produce most salutary revolution in
money affairs. In our opinion, it is the most
important work ever published in Virginia.

contents. 1t may be obtained at any Of the
