currency still there have been anxious forebodings
and good many failures in the face OF an advance
in gold and very cheap money market The people
will never earn more and buy less under the infiu-
ence of plethoric paper money market and nothing
will so effectuaY augment our foreign sales and
diminish foreign purchases as q contraction OF
the currency.
Necessity is the parent of economy. Bring on the
necessity Mr.. Secretary. and our former habits OF
economy" will come back apace.
For long time the Secretary has been governed
by the advice of manufacturers and others holding
large stocks of goods bought at high prices and by
debtors generally who in contraction large losses
and the surrender of gains made by the advance in
market values when legal tender money was issued.
The labor of the country was then plundered by
forced loans in the form of currency, and again by
the decreased purchasing power of this currency,
through the magnitude of its issues and the delay in
the adaptation of wages to the debasement OF the
currency This outrage upon the labor of the cOun-
trv and this tax upon those who live upon fixed in
comes the Secretary has taken no efficient step to
relieve Instead of paying first the " due bills" is
sued by his predecessors in their necessities, he mas
paid off the public creditors who hold the interest
bearing debt and has left tie legal tender rags TO fes
ter in the currency and debauch the people. Whlle
he talks about restoring the industry of the people
he pursues policy which fills the chief avenues OF
the commercial centers with crowds of spectators
so dense that the legitimate of streets is lost to
the public The Secretary has not the plea of ig-
norance or of inexperence to fall back upon. lie
knows that contraction of the currency to the
amount limited by Congress would at once work
healthy reform in all business affairs and revive any
permanent interest in the country, hut he fails to
give the people, who justly regard him as the leader
of the money market this assurance OF determine

If he would regain the confidence of the solvent part
of the community, let him destroy four millions OF
legal-tenders per month"; until President johnson
signs a bill depriving him of the power to do So Be
fore Congress can pass bill stopping contraction,
over a veto, the Secretary can move long way to-

FIRST BOARD.
MONDAY. Aug. i2-P. "

Gold is firm under the revival of an old canard
about an over issue of bonds by the Treasury Specu
lators have told the story with great apparent earn
cstness to-day, and assert that on Wednesday, at
latest, the facts" will assume a form which will
astonish tho most incredulous. All 'the facts"
backed by afidavits, have been hawked about Wall
st. for months for sale cheap. The lowest price of
gold was 4Ol and the highest rate for the day 14Oi
The cloarngs of the Gold Exchange Bank were s33,
252, co. and the balances s9G4,G44,0OO.
Government stocks strong at yesterdays prices.
The general share market is dull and unsatisfactory
TO operators for an advance. Every mail is fregted
with reports of the abundance of the harvest and
already the traffic upon Western roads shows that the
crop has commenced to Money call is offered
as freely as ever, and thus far bank officials are
willing 10 accept as collateras at high rates, shares
in companies which pay dividends by borrowing
money, their earnings barely paying running
expenses The reason for this halt in the market
is in the fact, that operators for an
advance are loaded to their eyes, with no prospect
of more credulous people 10 relieve them OF their
burdens After the call the market sluggish. At
the Second Board the market was heavy, and after
the call was dull, and there but little desire
shown TO purchase stocks The market closed dull
and steady at quotations. The following are the
closing prices: New-York Central, lOi.a 1917! Erie,
