Report OfSecratary BOutwell-Im.
pOrtant Financial Suggestions.

WASHINGTON Dec. 2.--The Treasury
report says that necessity exists for new
issue of national bank notes. The Secre-
tary eXonerates Assistant Treasurer Hill
house from neglect of duty in the stamp
division of the Assistant Treasury Of New
York. The Secretary again recommends
the passage of bill to amend and con-
solidate navigation and the custom colleo-
tion laws of the United States.
AS the leading pursuits of country are
now stronger than ever before in the pos
session of adequate capital and supply of
intelligent laborers, there may be a mod.
crate reduction from time to time in the
rate of duties as the Diminishing expenses
of Government shall permit, without either
alarming capital of injuring labor.
He says the circulation of the banks
should be fixed and limited and that pow
er to change the volume of paper in cir
culation within the limits established by
law should remain in the Treasury Depart
ment. A degree of hexibility in the volume
of currency is essentia for two reason !;
first, the business of the department can
not be transacted properly if u limit is
fixed and the power to raise the circulation
above or reduce it below that limit ia denied.
Secondly, there is a necessity every an
tumn for moving the crops without delay
from the South aud West to the seaboard
that they may be in hand for export and
consumption as wanted. The problem is
10 find way for increasing the currency
for moving the crops and diminishing it at
once when that work is done.
The is necessary work, and inasmuch
as it cannot be confided to the banks the
power should be reposed in the Treasury
Department.
Believing that the country is not pre-
pared to sustain the policy of contraction,
the Secretary considers the means by which
the value Of our currency may be improved.
The basis of a policy of improvement must
be found in a sturdy refusal to add to the
paper in circulation until it is of the same
value essentially as coin.
This being accepted as the settled pur-
pose Of the country there can be no per-
manent increase of the difference between
paper and coin, and an opportunity will be
given for the influence of natural causes,
tending upon the whole to better inan-
cial condition. All legislation liaited in
its operation to the paper issues of the
Government, whether bearing interest or
not and which in its effects shall tend to
diminish the market value of coin will be
found, upon analysis, to contain plan for
contracting the volume Of paper currency,
