Secretary Boutwell's Report.
The secretary of the treasury, In his report,
says That q necessity exists for u new issue of
national bank not.s. He recommends the
passage of q bill to amend and consolidate the
navigation and customs collection laws oil the
United States. As the leading pursuits Ut the
country are now stronger than ever and there
fore In the possession Of adequate capital and
8 supply of intelligent labor, there may be q
moderate reduction, from time to time, III the
rate OF duties, as the expenses OF the govern
| ment shall permit. without either alarming
| capital or injurlng labor. He says the circula.
lion of the banks should be fixed ana limit
I'd, and that the power to cnange the
| volume OF paper In circulation within
| limits established by law should remain IN the
treasury department.. A degree OF fexibiIity
In the volume Of currency IL essential for two
| reasons: First, the business of The department
cannot be transacted properly II a limit Is fixed
aud the power to raise the circulation above
or reduce It below that limit Is denied. Sec
ondly, ttsre Is q necessity every autumn for
moving the crops without delay from the
South and West to tie seaboard, that they may
be on hand for export and consumption
as wanted. The problem Is to find a way Of
increasing the currency for moving the crops
and diminishing 1t at once when that
work is done. This Is a necessary
work. and inasmuch as 1t cannot be
con1ded to the banks, the power should
be reposed In the treasury department. Be-
lieving that the country Is not prepared to
sustain the policy Of contraction, the secre.
tary considers the means by which the value
OF our currency may he improved. The basis
OF a policy Of Improvement must be found Ia
a sturdy refusal to add to the paper circnla-
ton until 1t Ia of the same value as coin. This
being accepted as the settled purpose of the
country there can be M permanent increase
of the difference between paper and coin, and
anopportunity will be given for the influence
o Unnatural courses tending, upon the whole, 10
q better financial condition.
The secretary, without proceeding to the
| discussion OF the general subject of resumlng
| specie payments, thinks that all will have
been gained that Is of value when the treasury
shall be prepared 10 pay the demand notes of
the government in coin, and the banks h
be prepared to pay their notes either IN coin
