made ANY movement of the thigh impossible,
and NECESSARILY rendered it impracticaole Tor
him to e>present at the review. Unwilling to
trouble acknowledgements or to inform any one
of his sutierihgs, he determined to remedy them
himself. TheN doctors had several times en-
ployed against these attacks hlisters and eau

affected nerves No made himself a blister in
the following fashion he lit candle anu drew
little tenderness for himself as to produce {

1t used to be just cause of complaint with
Secretary McCulloch's administration of the
haances that he threw gold upon the markets
wholly without notice, thus not only upsetting
the calculations and deranging the plans OF
business men, but giving an unfair advantage
to those who from their position or connec-
lions were able to gain the earliest informa-
ton of what was coming. The object of the
Secretary was probably the legitimate one of
keeping the money market steady and check
ing speculation. The event showed the pre-
sumption of an attempt on the part of any in
dividual, however wise to regulate for any use
full purpose the Gibbs and flows of the money
market The remedy but aggravated the dis
ease, and caused abuses which showed the me-
e,ssiiy of adopting different method of treat
ment 4-
1t has been highly craditahi--s prrrerary
Boutwell, that under his administration, diff.
erent policy has been pursued, and that pro-
spective sales OF gold have been announced far
enough in advance to enable the business part
of the public to shape their course accordingly.
Yet this policy seems not to have been deem
ed adequate to every emergency as is shown
by the fact that the Secretary felt compelled
by the exigeney of the recent gold panic so far
to modify his policy as to sell with only a very
brief notice.
This action of the Secretary broke the ring
but the necessity for a recurrence to such a
policy may we believe be obviated by differ
policy. So vast power over the destinies
OF others as the control of the money market
gives, should be left as little as possible to in
dividual discretion. As a permanent policy
1t favors speculation by multiplying contln-
gencies which cannot be foreseen. If the reg
ulations previously adopted on this subject are
inadequate new ones should be devised. In
vain will the drawn sword be suspended over
the heads OF the gold gamblers if there is even
a possibility that it may not fall at the right
moment to cut short their destructive activity
The plan of selling gold only at fixed times is
not flexible enough, that of selling at discre-
ton is too liable to abuse. The object of SELL
ing gold is to prevent scarcity in the market
for the purposes of legitimate trade. The sales
should respond to the demand in the market
as indicated by the most reliable test that can
Dc found. There appears to be no better test
tnan the rate of premium on gold. When it
rises above certain fixed point the Secretary
could sell not exceeding a certain amount
within given time till It falls. Thus the pol
icy OF the Treasury would be flexible without
Delng uncertain or capricious. Such a policy
Dy the regularity of its action in steadying the
market, would serve the same useful purpose
In hnance that the balance wheel does in
mechanics. For gold speculations and other
evils produced by a fuctuating currency, the
only permanent remedy is a return to specie
payments.
