THE CURRENCY.

The remarks of Senator Sherman con.
corning the panic, which are found in our
columns, contain good deal of truth in
relation to the currency. While banks
snd brokers and spectators have gone
down in the panic, and the rich have suf-
fered by the fall in stocks and bonds, the
poor whose little property is all in curren-
cy have not suffered the loss ,f dime in
the CONFUSION. They have been COM
paetely cut of the reach of the panic and

or the bank which issued it stood up in the
crisis or failed. This feature of our cur
rency is one of sterling merit. If WI
must have financial panics, let theiy con
sequences fall upon those who are respon
sible for them. while the honest and poor
or classes are protected from harm. Thi
is what the government system of curren
cy does BY requiring the national banks
70 secure the payment of every dollar they
Z issue. The bank may break, but its bills
are good for their face anywhere in the
country, equally as current and sound af-
ter the bank has failed as before In all
other great monetary panics previous to
the present. bill-holders have been large
sufferers, spreading the disaster widely
and generally throughout the community
and causing the poor and innocent to suf
fer for the sins OF the rich and guilty
we had our old State system of banking
In the present crisis, with no unity OF &C
ton IN such an emergency, and no secur
fty for the redemption of bank bills in case
of failure, the increase Of our difficulties
and actual suffering would be many fold
a. all must readily understand. b
The weak point in our currency is that
it is not based upon specie. This puts us
1t disadvantage in. commercial transac-
tions with foreign nations. gives better
opportunity and license to.speculation and
unsound business transactions, creating
constant and unhealthy fuctuation in pri-
oes. causing derangment of the markets,
and rendering more frequent great dis
turbances at the monetary centres. The
speculative, gambling and debtor classes
are opposed to return to specie payment,
bat It is clearly for the interest of the great
mass Of community that specie be made
- soon as possible the basis of our curren-
cy. let its opponents struggle as they may
TO pot the day afar of. We trust that the
President and the coming Congress will
give earnest attention to this subject. 1t
will be the one great and pressing ques-
ton before them, demanding the best SER
vice that the republicans can bring to bear
In its settlement. If the panic shall be
the means OF fastening return to specie
payment it will produce good which will
compensate for all the evil it has caused.
