Mr.. BoutweIi's Financial Views.

Mr.. Boutwell, having been chosen to
fill the most important financial posi-
ton in the Government, there is natur-
ally widespread and eager interest in
knowing what are his financial tenets.
In the absence of any large business
experience, it may be regarded proba-
BILE that President Grants choice of
Mr.. Boutwell, is based upon his nvowed
principles and belief respecting the
currency and the national securities.
The following paragraph, which we
clip from his speech in the Massachu-
sets State Convention last fall, will be
found to bear directly upon those sub
iects. 1t will be seen that he is radi.
cal contractionist, and the policy en-
bodied in the second sentence OF the
extract herewith given will, If persisted
in, be somewhat opposed to the de-
mands of the West:
"We do not propose to tolerate. sane
ton or permit an issue OF demand
notes payable in coin to be exchanged
for the time bonds of the United States.
We intend to limit, and, if necessary,
to diminish gradually the volume OF
paper money, until 1t approx1mates in
value to the standard of coin. We In
tend that there shall be one currency
for the bondholder, the merchant, the
farmer, the pensioner and the laborer.
That currency shall be OF The value OF
gold. When this is done the public
debt will be paid, as the resources OF
the country may permit, and to the sat-
isfaction OF those who pay and of those
who receive. When the credit of the
country is restored as it will be by the
single fact of the election of General
Grant. we can issue bonds payabl 9 af-
ter ten or twenty years, bearing low
er rate of interest, and thus save annu-
ally the sum of twenty or thirty mil
lions of dollars. But, first of all, as a
the people must dispel by their votes
the apprehension OF national dishon-
esty in the public finances. The Re-
publican party knows no policy in
finance but honesty"

The New Secretary OF State.


The Hon. Hamilton Fish, of New
York, was to-day nominated by Presi-
dent Grant, and confirmed by the SEN
ate, as Secretary OF State. Mr.. Fish Is
about sixty years of age, having been
born in New York city in 1909: de
graduated at Columbia College, his ma
tive city. and prepared himself for the
legal profession, which he followd,
afIer being admitted to the bar in 1880,
with considerable distinction, for seven
years. when, in 1897, he was elected to
the State legislature by the Wing par,
tv. of which he was a distinguished
member. He was also elected by that
party, in the fall of 1912, to seat IN the
United States House of Representatives,
took his seat in 1913, and served
during that Congress. AT the state
election OF 1915 he was the stand
ard bearer of the Whig party Tor
the Office of Governor, when ne
held for two years, ana was tE tEans-
ferred by the Legislature of that State
from the executive chair to seat e IN tns
United States Senate, where he served
with marked ability TOR six years. AIter
leaving the Senate, Governor flsn, oe-
ing in the happy possession OF Iarge
fortune, rather preferred retlIenleh1

trumpets as those of others, yet ne mas

Governor Fish was one OF the earlist
to espouse the Republican cause
though never a Radical in politics. He
was a great friend of Mr.. IAncoln. He
ia what may be considered a conserva-
tive in politics-a man OF great digni-
tv and fine presence; is not graced by {
