mizc their coal will do well to try
plan suggested by correspondent of
the Edinburgh Courant which, assum-

practically reduce coal toa third of its

valuable piece of information:

Secondly, there is necessity every au-
lumn for moving the crops without de-
lay from the South aud West TO the
scaboard that they may be in hand for
export and consumption rs wanted, The
problem is to find way Of increasing
the currency for moving tho crop aud
diminishing it once when that work is
done. This is necessary work and in
asmuch as it can not be conlided to the
banks the power should be reposcd in
the Treasury Department.
Believing that the country is not pre-
pared to sustain the policy of contlac-
ton the Secretary considers the means
by which the value OF our currency may
be improved. The basis Of n policy OF
improvements must be found in sinr-
dy refusal TO add TO the paper in circu-
lation until it is Of the same value es-
scnliallyas coin. This being accepted as
the settled purpose Of the country, there
can be no permanent increase in the diff
ference between paper and coin, and an
opportunity will be given for the nAu-
cnce of natural causes, tending upon
the whole to better and soundcr finan.
cial condition. All legislation limited
in its operation to the paper issues Of
the Government, whether bearing int.
rest 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 tie vol
umc of paper currency, and all legisla-
ton so limited which does not contain
such aplan will prove Intellectual.
The Secretary, without proceeding to
the discussion Of the general subject of
resuming specie payments, thinks all
will have been gained that is of value,
when the treasury shall be prepared to
pay theAlemand notes Of the Govern
ment in coin, and the banks shall be pre-
pared TO pay their notes either in coin
or legal tender notes, and then our good
fortune will clearly appear in this. that
our paper currency is not exclusively
