movement as far as practicable. The revival Of our
commerce is nstrumentality, aud, perhaps, the
most efficient one of ALL II the annual earn
ings OF American vesse1a were $50, ,0oo, 600 i'll
stead of $3000o,oo0, the difference in the
amount or exchange nvailabie abroad
would meet large part Of the adverse balance any
ordinary year. Tbs experience of Europe tends to
payments is due largely to the condition Of its foreign
trade.
Next, every measure which increases or improves
the channels Of transportation between the seaboard
and cotton and grain growing regions Of the country
lessons the costs OF freghts adds something to our ca
paclty to compete successfully in the markets Of tho
world. Finally, those measures which encourage
Amezican manufactures, especially Of iron, WOOL and
cotton, and discourage the importation Of like pro-
trade and help US towards the end we seek.
This statement in these words is general statement
Of policy that in my opinion, will aid the country in
reaching condition where it will be practicable to re-
sut4e and maintain specie payments. Anticipating
that day, anticipate also that the burden Of resump
ton Will rest upon the Government.
There are now more than nineteen hundred banks
IN the country, and cannot imagine condition Of
things so favorable for period Of years to enable
then at a times to redeem their notes In specie only
Without proceeding to the discussion Of the subject
in dea think that all will have been gained that ia
OF value when the Treasury shall be prepared
to pay the demand notes Of the Government in coin,
and the banks shall be prepared to pay their notes
either in coin or in legatender notes, and then
good fortune will clearly appear in this that our paper
currency is not exclusively Of National Bank notes,
exclusively Of United States notes.

immense trouble in the future. There ire yery
many handsome blocks, finished and unfinished,
Whose foundations are not protected by side-
walks or anything else. We would recommend
them to place thick layer Of manure round
such foundations to keep out the frost, Or
by next spring unpleasant assures will ap-
pear in the stone, which will be reduced
to powder by the superintendent weight
Of the buildings. The action Of
frost on unsessoned sandstone can be observed
N the southern block Of that material support
ing the porch Of Andrews building On Lasalle
street, between Madison and Monroe. A huge
crack, caused BY the action of froet, has split the
enormous stone down the centre, dividing it as
evenly as no artificial process could have done.
This stone when freshly quarried is extremely
porous, and absorbs moisture readily. Th9
1rost does the rest more readily still.
