our PinnnetaI matters---TOo Much or
too,LittIe Currency.



The question which now agitates the
financial public on this side of the At
lautic, and puzzles legislators and
''money writers" :" is, which is better for
the country, too much money or too
little. The subject has not been put
into this precise shape byany of the dis
putants, but this is precisely what is
meant when the funding of legal tender
is under consideration. The great OBJ
ject to be attained, however, is 70 SO ad-
Just the currency to the wants OF com
merce that there shall always be just
enough to meet all emergencies, but the
difficulty has always been to devise
scheme by which the currency shall
expand or contract in direct sympathy
with the demand for 1t, so that there
shall never be an excess TO cause an
imitation, nor a scarcity TO cause failures
and commercial ruin. We have tried
both systems-the system OF contrac-
4ion. and the system of Redundancy
and we do not believe that any one
whose opinions on any subject are en-
titled to a moments consideration Will
decide that The system OF contraction
is more conducive to the general
prosperity of the country than the
that there may be some evils natu-
/ rally consequent upon plethor1c
currency; but, unless we shut our eyes
/ 10 patent facts, to the events of the past
i four years, 10 the present condition OF
our commerce; and 70 the financial his
tory OF our country, as we'll as that OF
England for the past fifty years, we
/ must decide that too much currency,
i surprising that there can be such q
I thing, Is much less Injurious than toe
little. The two great rival nations OF
1 the world, which are contending foI
the mastery or, more correctly speak
ing, supremacy IN commerce, are Eng
Il land and the United States. London Z
now the financial centre of the world
and it depends upon the hnanctal sys,
tenn of the two countries TO determint
4 whether II shall continue 70 be for an
i other century, or whether It shall bt

they are to, be resurrected to the front

erected to their memory. He deemed
such talk on the part of the gentleman
jas simply hlasphemy, and If the spirit
of the dead could burst the cerements
of the tomb, and stalk from their graves,
would rebuke the gentleman for such
blasphemy until his eye balls were

I the change must be made, but 1t Is 1or
/ the people oftllis country to say whether
| it shall be sooner or later. During the
past four years, we have done more
towards making this change than has
/ been done during the forty years pre-
| ceding. The London Times attemptsto
| account for the financial panic which
England has recently experienced by
asserting that capital has been over
drawn from that country to this. Some
other British authorities have attempted
to disprove this assertion; but II Is un.
questfonably true in part. Capital will
| find its way where il can be most Sc
curely and most protftably; invested !;
and the country. which IS most free
from convuIsions; panics, failures and
depreciations in commercial values,
will infallibly attract to 1t the greatest
amount OF capital. During the past
four years, the currency system of Eng
land has inflicted upon British conn
merce two monetary crises, which were
most injurious to the trading interests :
while in this country, though suffering
from extraordinary national disasters,
which might have been expected 10
prove ruinous in their consequences,
we have been entirely free from any
thing approaching a panic. Cold dur
ing that time, has been as high as z 20
premium, and as low as 80 and yet
no serious inconvenience was expert
enced by our commercial community
from this great fiuctuatiOn. The rate
of interest, which is the sure indicator
of financial health, scarcely varied all
the time; while in England, which has
enjoyed what is called a specie curren--
cy, the bank rates fluctuated from three
per centum up to nine per centum. u
Is very wonderful that there should
ba ANYBODY in this. country, except
those who are influenced by their sup
posed personal interests, in favor OF
adopting the British restrictive sys-
TEN of currency, which limits the COM
mercial enterprises of the people to a
fixed amount OF the representative OF
values. If the inventive genius of the
commercial Glasses had not furnished
them with a substitute for legalized cur
rency in a system of bills and cheques,
which are made TO perform the othees
of bank-notes, England would now he
third or fourth rate, instead of the
first commercial power of the world.
We are now In the enjoyment OF an
abundant currency, which Is fully
equal to the demands of our commerce,
and which will probably prove equal 20
the wants of the country for many years
to come. As long as IL is abundant, all
will go well; but let the system of con-
traction be commenced, and we shall
Immediately feel the evils of too little
currency in the paralysis to trade which
will inevitably follow. Government has
now ninety millions of dollars in gold
and greenbacks lying safely within
reach in the sub treasury in Wall street;
but let the contraction of the currency,
which some are calling for, be COM
menced, and the Treasury Department
would never again know what II was to
have such an overplus in one of lis de-
pOsitories.
