United States is about one thousand millions Of
dollars, consisting Of U. S. notes, local and
national bank notes, and the issues Of States and
municipal corporations. Gold forms no part of
this circulation, and in its connection with the cur
rency is but an article of merchandise The So
called "mouey1 of the country is fourfod
greater in volume than it was in lSG0-that is to
say, four or five times more than necessary for
the transaction of business. Hence il requires
larger sum to represent the same value. Hence
the bank paper dollar. then worth ten per cent
in gold, is now worth only sixty or seventy cents.
Hence high prices of all wares and products. The
great wonder is that prices are not very much
higher than they are now, and that hard, sub
stantia gold dollar will not buy two or three dol
lars in paper. In spite of the skill of inanciers
aud the hocus-pocus of bankers and Legislators,
gold is the standard of exchaugeable values, and
will remain the actual measure by which
exchanges will be regulated. Paper fuctuates
like the waves; gold is unmovable and changeless
like the rock. Gold is quoted at a hundred and
fifty on one day, and perhaps hundred and sixty
or hundred and forty on another day; but it is
not gold that rises and falls in value. The value
of it and the value of property are fixed. 1t is
the paper that rises and falls in perpetual iuctu
alton. No fiction of law can change this result,
or materially alter these relations of property to
its real measure of value. The prudent land
lord estimates the gold value Of his house
and the income in gold which he thinks a
remuneratve rent he therefore demands rent in
paper sufficient to produce the amount in coin
which he has fixed upon, with q. margin in his own
favor for fluctuation. So through all the impor-
tant transactions of business values are increased

GOLD.

Five years ago. when the population of the
South was greater than now, and that of the North
not much less than it is to-day when business was
active; when We had large crops to move to mar
ket; when trade was buoyaut and consumption
was unrestricted by any forced economy, ali the
vast business of the country was done with cir.
culaton amounting in all, in coin and bank paper,
to about two hundred millions of dollars, exclu-
sive of individual notes, checks, bonds, mortgages
and other evidences of Indebtedness, which in
reality enter into the general circulation and form
part of it, just so far as they are transferred
from hand to hand in the settlement of balances
or in payment for purchases. With this amount of
money the business of the country was success
fully transacted. 1t was in greater proportion to
property than in other countries, for which reason
prices here wero higher than in Europe, including
the prices of labor, which enabled foreign manu-.
faeturers to uudersel ours, in spite of our swing
ing tarlh on their fabrics; but the excess of cir
culation was not then felt to be very serious
evil The banks authorized by law to speculate
on their own liabilities, and to lend out their
promises as cash for heavy interest, were closely
observed by Yigilant capitalists, and seldom sue
ceeded in flooding the Land with any very great ex.
cess of issue. To most iuteuts and purposes the
circulation was convertible into coin, and euuiya
lent to gold and silver. Bank paper ceased to cir
culate Whenever it fell much below the par of
coin and although the redemption of all the bank
notes in circulation on any given day would have
been financial impossi5ility, yet practically the
power Of redemption extended to uiuety-nine dol
lars in every hundred Of the paper issued, We
may therefore consider the circulation as tanta
mount to ooin-god was then substantially the
