TO 1HE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

"
In some remarks made by us We have taken
for granted that the paper currency OF the
Uuitcd States is redundant. Tho extent OF tho
excess can only be reached by approximation.
Those who have made this sub j"ct ono OF close
examination have taken the increase Of the
population as the basis of calculation. Mr.
WelIcs. the Special Com missioner OF the Rev
enue IN his recent able report, has assumed
$40 per capita of the whole population as SUI
ficient for tho currency of the United States,
including both paper and specie. The next lu-
meratlon in 1870 will show ~ 0c0 600. This null
tipled by 10 would give $420 900 600 as the prop
er limit Of tho currency Of the Uuited States.
Mr.. Norton in his late speech in the Uhitcd
states Senate, has made the oxtravagant as
sumption that OR currency is not redunda I,
being between s60J 000,0 600 and S7O0,0OO,OO0:
which ut $40 per head. including paper and
specie would make the excess betweon S2OO,-
0Oo,p00 and $780, COZ, ,0tO-sl5 per head Tor tile
whole population.
We have siased that this subject cannot be
intclligently discussed, unless IN connection
with the pubic expenditure and the state OF
our fore Gn trade.
1. The pubic expenditure. MIR. McCulloch,
in his late report, states That the expenditures
of the government ought to be reduced to
$3.50 O0O 600. He estimates the revenue from
the two principal source5-the Gu stoui5 and the
internal reyenue-at $500, 600 0U0-a saving OF
$50, 900, COO, which he would apply to paving of
an equal amount OF the funded debt. Nr. Nor
toms proposition is to apply any saving male
by diminished expenditure or addition to rev.
enue, to the cxtinguishment OF the floating
debt, in which, we have said, we agree with
him.
2. The stale Of our reign trade. This is an
element Of great importance. OF which httie
notice is taken in the remarks made On this
subject MIR. Morton speahs OF accommodating
gold by selling our bonds in Europe and bring
ing the proceeds to this side of the Atlantic;
but appears to omit the consideration that we
must reduce The volume OF our currency to the
specie standard before we can Fell our bonds
in Europe at t. cir par value. He overlooks
entirely the iufue1cc Of favorable balance OF
trade. Our export of cotton for 1868 20.
