FROM me JHtcuyO ~ tOtHe'
The United States EcOHOniSt prints a great
many figures to show that since May l, 1865,
the total quantity of our paper currency Gn-
Guiding legal tenders, fractional, interest
bearing Treasury notes, compounds, and
National Bank notes. has decreased from
$780, 2lS, 100 to $GSG, 929, sea total con-
traction of $12O, ,2S7 ,3Gl, or by about one
eighth of Heir original quantity, and yet that,
during this period, gold has advanced from
1888 to 1873.
The truth is the depression down to 12S}
was spasmodic, lasting only one day, and
caused by the excitement attending the final
surrender of the Rebellion. But during the
year 1864, and to May, 1865, gold averaged
at least 175. Since then it has several times
reached 1873, but soon went up again to the
general average of 40, the range being be-
tween 1873 and $50.
With gold at 1873 our currency is worth
lust three-fourths of its face, or 10 per cent.
If Congress should issue new greenback
currency, redeemable at par in gold, not like
the present at the pleasure of the Govern
ment but on demand of the holder, the old
currency would be quoted in the new at "a
per cent of its face. There are two ways OF
arriving at a currency redeemable in gold

worth par. This is severe, but if continued
long enough it would prove effective. The
other is to issue new paper redeemable on
demand in gold, and therefore at par with
gold and allow the old currency to be funded

from circulation. OF course, in the latter
mode all contracts now payable in the old
continue payable in the old only New con
tracts may be made payable in the new cur
rency, and as fast Us business men choose to
make them so, and pay them when due,
specie payments are resumed. Russia resumed
in this manner in 1Sl3 and Austria subse-
quently The Bc0H0miSt is sadly at fault
in supposing that because we have only
$40, 600 of gold in the country. there
fore our paper currency must be reduced to
$40, 600, 900 before it can he redeemed in
gold About 81 in gold to 81 in paper is as
much as our banks during specie-paying times
have ever found necessary for maintaining
redemption With $40, 900. 600 of gold in
the country, rightly managed, we ought to be
able to maintain redemption at this ratio for
SG40,OO0,0 900 of currency of gold value or as
much as we now have anoat, worth but three
fourths as much as gold But the obstacle to
redemption of either Government or private
notes in specie at present is their difference
of one-fourth in commercial value Remove
this difference, and issue a new Government
and bank note currency and authorize exist
ing contracts to be liquidated in the new cur
rency, without change of their actual values
and it does not follow but that a currency as

| men to this subject of improved dwellings
| for working people, and asked them to un-
| dertabe the work of providing healthy and
comfortable tenements at low rent Six
| years ago few gentlemen got together in
| London to discuss this very question. They
were aware that in that city very heavy
rents were paid for rooms not fit for human
| babitation; and that scandal vice, crime,
| and disease were all fostered by this state
of things. They were furnished with esti-
mates showing that money invested in the
construction of decent houses for working
people, to be rented at low rates. might
possibly LAY per cent; they formed a com
pany, subscribed ESQ, 900, and commenced
the experiment The company succeeded be-
yond its hopes it soon increased its capital to
G25O, 900, and up to this time has expended
about E125, 900, for which it has provided
houses for about 1000 persons and has others
in course of construction which will accom-
modate 2O0O more When the whole of its
capital is invested, the company will have
furnished decent houses for 10000 persons,
and the rents will pay dividend on the stock
of per cent, and no more.
1t is an old story to say that in New York,
as well as in London, there are districts
densely populated, in which the attainment
or the preservation of decency, to say nothing
of virtue, is impossible without a miracle.
That virtue is sometimes preserved in these
dark places, full of the habitations of cruelty.
is unquestionable, however; and that it is, is
a good answer to make to those who affirm
that the days of the miracles ceased with the
lives of the original apostles. But as we are
warned that it is not well to sin in order that
grace may abound, we should not look with
complacency upon the tenement-houses of
New York because in them the miracle is
sometimes wrought of preserving godliness
where cleanliness is impossible, naturally or
supernaturally. The children of the families
who inhabit the worst of our fever dens have
pitiful lot, and the heart of the man who
can look unmoved upon their misery must be
hard indeed. Nevertheless, it is to be feared
that, unless it can be shown that money spent
in improving their condition will pay more
than per cent, but little will be done in
that direction. Can no one show that it can
be made to pay Is per cent. ?

GENERAL ROSECRANSL SLECTURING THI
DEMOCRACY.
Erolll the N. v. Timea.

From, the ~ y. Times.
General Rosecrans has done more than
decline the nomination for the Governorship
of Ohio. He has availed himself of the op-
poltunity which that circumstance afforded
to lecture the Democracy upon their depar-
ture from the true faith, and indirectly upon
the crimes, blunders and follies of the policy
lie was asked to sustain. He tells his cores
pondents, the Ohio Committee, that, though
Democrat by conviction, he has no liking for
many of the principles and tactics of the party
as at present managed.
The General deems it necessary to recall
attention to principles from which the party
has strayed, and traditions on which it now
casts dishonor. The secret of its decadence
lie traces to the influence acquired within the
party by ''Office-seekers and political adven-
turers,' by ''fossils and fault-fnders' who
'ought to 90 on the retired list.
The hatred Of the Democracy to the negro
is the subject of another rebuke. All dis
elimination 'based on class, creed, race
color, or national origin, he condemns as at
variance with the Democratic principle The
maxim he inculcates is universal freedom.
impartial justice, and equality before the law
of all who live beneath the flag of our coun-
try
1t is on the bond question, however, that
General ROsecrans most decidedly and signi-
fcantly condemns the policy of his party. He
is emphatic i'll his reputation of the repudia-
tors. Above all things, the public credit
must be preserved untarnished, he tells the
men who nominated him. They propose, by
a forced construction of the letter of the law,
to compel the bondholders to accept green
backs instead of gold; he insists that the
equity, rs well as the law of the contract,
shall be respected. They have raised the
question prematurely, and seek a partisan
preiudgment of its merits to excuse an act of
robbery; he declares that the duty of the
party is to endeavor to ''raise higher and
higher The public credit" and that no pre-
tense can Justify its whine or the effort it
is making to evade Just obligations. In a
word, while the Democrats advocate a viola
ton of the contract, and so do their utmost to
damage the credit of the country, General
EosecIaIs denounces their policy as impolitic
and dishonorable, and demands the payment
OF the bonds in gold.
On the currency, too, he takes issue with
them. They uphold a plan which involves
the further imitation of the currency, and
consequently the indefinite postponement OF
resumption. General Rosecrans, on the
other hand, denounces a currency of this ma
ture as Gigantic fraud on the people.
Other points in General Rosecrans letter
we'll deserve attention. They make manifest
decided want of sympathy with the position
and purposes of the Democratic party, and
still further explain his aversion to the nomi
nation he declined to accept. Between hil
| idea of Democracy and the Democracy cham
| pioned by Mr.. Pendleton there is chasn
which cannot be bridged by any apology OIL
| explanation.
