Il am pleased to be able to inform

as his opinion thai the absolute mon

five hundred million dollars greater
than in 1866, and the power Of ex.
portation, much greaterin proportion,
i because il is the surplusses which are
increased He argues that two eff
fects will follow, to>wit: sWe shall
have increased importations and in
creased gold revenue. Gold will pro.
baby fall considerably, in the an
tumn Of 1867 and finaneiers will find
the shortest road to specie payments
is through good crops

L he West is twenty years ahead o.
the East; not in wealth, in culture
in refinement; but in energy of pro.

and in that sagacious instinct which
is quick to recognize the spirit of tbs
age. Heretofore we have been il
the habit of looking to the East a.
the fountain of Radical ideas; here
after we must look to the West.
