contrnet enc currency.

From the Tribune ..,er
The Chicago papers say that committee,
representing the merchants and manufacturers
of that city, will soon visit Washington, to urge
Congress to postpone contraction of the cur
renoy. What arguments these gentlemen will
use we do not know, but certainly none more
novel than The old threat of sudden fall of
prices, ard unknown financial troubles. Con-
traction will be called a risk; the country is
unprepared for it; better have too much depre-
ciated paper money than too little specie. The
financial wolf which it is predicted will devour
us takes the shape, in these disturbed imagna-
lions, OF an enormous gold dollar. We Will
Cheerfully meet the danger of its appearance.
Thus far, the Secretary of the Treasury has
had small power from Congress to contract the
currency. Tue laws passed at the late session
tied his hands; but under such power as he did
possess, he has retired the revenue fund of
$50, 600, 900, issued TO redeem temporary loans,
ana $40, ,000, 900 which Congress permitted him
to Withdraw within six months after the 18th of
April. A few millions, under the clause pro.
viding for monthly contraction, have also been
withdrawn; yet there are low about $3.50, 000, 900
legal-tenders in circulation. Golu closed on Sat
urday at 1872, and little arithmetic will, snow
how much specie these $3.50, 100000 represent.
Our dollars are not dollars, and pretend to a
value they do not possess. With this inflated
currency there can be no stability of prices, and
the ordinary foresight of commerce is ever
liable to be baffled by rumor in the street. or
false telegram from Washington.
Business based on a shifting and uncertain
currency, is a house built upon the sands;
when the floods come and the winds beat upon
that house great may be the fall thereof We
do not suppose that there are any bold enough
to advocate the perpetuation of paper currency,
but we know that men like this Chicago COM
mittec practically strive to secure it by object
ing to all measures which even look to a re-
sumption of specie payments. 1t is, in their
opinion, always too soon to begin In our
judgment a day is approaching when it will be
too late to resume specie payment by steady
and sure contraction-when the paper balloon
will suddenly burst from the excess of its own
imitation. We would prevent a revolution
beyond our control by beginning while we have
the power to direct It.
Mr. McCulloch, in his report, urges the neces-
sity of contraction and specie payments, and
we trust his arguments will have more weight
with Congress than the lobbying of Chicago
committees. Existing restriction upon the
power of the Secretary to withdraw legal
tenders should be loosened. Congress can do
the country no worse service than to let the
mistakes of last spring govern the legislation of
this winter. At least, let us have beginning;
let something be done to tear the painted paper
mask from the prosperity we really possess; let
us feel the ground we stand on. There is no
safety in any other course.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-12-17

tion to the latter course pertains mainly 10 the
question of time Rather than permit the pre-.
sent state Of affairs to contlnne indefinitely
fraught as II Is with ill-feeling aud peril we
would push forward reconstruction on the Terri
tOrial plan. It were better TO assume that task
WITH all its delicate contingencies, than permit
practical severance of the Union, or its resto-
ration on o basis to be fixed BY the Rebel leaders
And TO this complexion we believe Il will come
at last. The folly and contumacy of the south
may necessitste ana justify 1t as means of con-
forces. But is II prudent to take the step before
renewing the offer OF compromise contenplated
I'D Mr.. Spauldings resolution We ask simply, is
IT expedient Y-for the right of CONGRESS- 10 adont
ulterior measures, even to the extent OF begin
nlng afTesh the work of organizing local govern
ments, we are prepared to concede. Only let
thls severe and sweeping policy come not too
soon or too hastily. - .-- 3i - -
May 1t not be wise 10 give the moderate ele.
ment at the South little further time for the
assertion of its strength? We dare not hope
that that strength will prevails but the trial will
be beneficial, inasmuch as IL will test the power
OF the rational portion of the people, and will
prevent their consolidation against the course
which may be afterwards adopted by Congress.
considering the question in this light Mr..
SpauldiDg's resolution seemed to us judiclous
subject, however, to the understanding that an
extension OF time for ratification should not
extend beyo yond the present session.
Oh the other propositions, Mr.. Summers is in
many respects preferable. IL is more in har-
mony with the principle which pervaded the
pollcy OF the Government during the war, and
1t Is more likely TO commend itself TO the popu-
lar judgment than the doctrine of State suicide
In any shape. 1t has another advantage. A
series of resolutions affirming principles and
facts, Is more convenient basis of discussion
than bill in which principles and details are
always more or less mixed. Besides, the time
consumed in the consideration of these resolu-
tions would really be an extension OF grace ia
connection with the amendment, while the bill
shuts off all chance of repentance.
The question Is the most mOmentous that has
arisen since the suppression of the Rebellion.
And in its solution the country has need OF the
patience and the temper as well as the principle
of its best statesmen.

After the New York Cooper Institute
meeting OH the I'D of February Lost,
Mr.. Seward made these statements to =
number of the noted conservative faith,
namely; That he would certainly be .
candidate for the next President, that
the South, the Northern Democrats, and
supporters. A few days since number
of New York Republicans Of the Thur
low Weed school were discussing this
conversation of Mr.. Stewards in the
light of the late events at Albany, and
came to the conclusion that his hopes
were vain, and that one of their number
must come here and tell the Secretary,
that to use their own language, he was
making a neat fool of himself. Mr..
Thurlow Weed was requested to under
take this mission, but declined on the
ground that he had twice In his life
been the bearer Of similar messages to
Mr.. Seward, and that he Weed had
barely survived either Of them, and that
further, he would never again, knowing
ly cross the path of the Socretary's am
bition. Nevertheless Mr.. Weed has or.
rived In this city.
