rHE . oUEsTIoN.

The President reiterateS his opinions
expressed in his last annual message
on the currency question. He favOrs
the earliest practicable resumption of
specie payment. At the beginning of
the rebellion the bank note circulation
of the country amounted TO not
much more than two hundred mil
lions of dollars. Now the circulation
of National bank notes and legal
tenders is nearly seven hundred
millions.
The specie value Of our paper issues
may be ascertained by enquiring how
much gold and silver could be pur-
chased by the seven hundred millions
of paDer currency. Probably not over
three hundred and fifty millions, or
about one-half. This fact makes il
the obvious duty of the Government,
as early as may be consistent with the
principles of sound political economy,
to take such measures as will enable
the holder of its notes, and those of
the national banks, 10 convert them
without loss into specie or ifs equiva-
lent. 4 reduction of our paper circn-
Iating medium may not necessarily

though it should be borne in mind,
that by making legal tender and bank
notes convertible into coin or its
equivalent, their present specie val
ue in the hands of their holders would
be enhanced one hundred per cent.
EQUAL and exaes justice requires
that all the creditors of the govern
ment should be paid in q currency
, possessing a uniform value. This can
only be accomplished by the restora-
ton of the currency tn the standard

next, this number willb decreased to

failed and proved pe%rnicious in theiI
results, and should be repealed.

Shattered Constitutions.

Our constitutions are elastic. They are not
easily shattered. In fact, strictly speaking,
Death alone can shatter them, for they represent
the reserve Of vitality, which enables the en-
fcebled system to react when the pressure of dis
ease is removed from it, Bat 1t is the fashion,
when the body is weak, the circulation languid,
the nerves tremulous and the mind depressed, to
say that the constitution is ruined, or broken
down, shattered. In cases of the kind described
administer HOSTErTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS, and it win soon be seen how little ground
there is for this stereotyped note Of alarm. The
tonic and Alternative properties of the specific rap
idly diaused through the whole organization by
the stimulnnt which forms its basis, will immedi-
ately create a favorable reaction, and this reani-
mating process will go on as the medicine is con-
tinucd, until strength, health and mental activity
are completely restored. Every day cures of this
kind are accomplished. Let the debilitated inya-
lid, when told by his condoling friends that his
constitution is shattered" have recourse at once
to this strength-reoruitihg preparation, in which
the finest stomaohics and alternatives Of the vege-
table kingdom are represented, and he will soon
be able to meet their gloomy forebodings with a
confident smile, and to announce that he has
taken new lease Of life under its yitalizing
operation.
