clearing out of the public Offices.
The formidable conspiracy which
attacked the gold market was an
obstacle for a time to the opera
ton of his plans, but he eventual
ly triumphed, as the apparent dis
credit of the government finances
implied in the rise in gold was the
result of artificial influences only
which had in the long run to sue
cumb 10 natural causes. The good
results of his honest determination
TO faithfully collect the revenues
and TO rctrench tho expenses OF
the government are at length ro-
'fiected in the gradual and steady
but sure appreciation OF The ma
tional credit. Under the circum'
stances of our present political sIt>
uation gold is commodity whose
price depends, on the ono hand,
upon the condition of the national
credit, and, on the other, upon the
relations of our foreign trade. The
burden of the debt is not necessari-
ly an insurmountable obstacle to
the resumption Of specie payment
for the government currency. 9th
erwise England would never have
returned to specie payments 1t is
only sufficient to assure tho nation
al creditors of the honest inten-
tions and ability Of the govern~
ment to meet its obligations in or
der to restore perfect confidence.
This portion of the plan General
Grant has assumed as his special
duty. The commercial value OF
gold is settled by the laws OF dc.
mand and supply. According af
the balance Of trade is for or
against us will gold be in demand
for export. Gold, after all is not
the real currency of tho business
world. There is not gold enough
in the world to suffice for all the
transactions of commerce. Signs
of value, such as checks, bills o.
exchange, drafts and bank notes
are tho real vehicle OF business op
erations. Between different coun
tries gold is essential simply as
means Of settlement for the differ
ence in valuo between the import
: and exports. Now, General Gran
on his side is doing what is prope
