Ex-sECRETARY MCCULLOUGH On
THE FINANCIAL. SITUATION.

Ex-Secretary McCulloch has address
ed letter for publication to u number
of gentlemen In Cincinnati, the subject
thereof being the national hnances.
In consideration Of the intimate
knowledge of the subject derived by the
writer from his former official position,
and also in consideration of his very
great reputation as IL tinancier, the let
ter is deserving of the most careful PEE
rusal, and we regret that our limited
space precludes as from laying it in
full before the readers of the HERALD.
The views suggested by Mr.. McCul-
loch are substantially the same that
were enumerated by him in his official
reports to congress while secretary Of
the treasury. He thinks that 1t Is the
duty of the government to get back to
specie payments" at M early n day
AS the same can be done, without
disaster to the business interests
of the country. This he proposes to
effect by hxinga certain day in the
future when greenbacks shall cease to
be legal tender. In addition to this
he proposes to retire fifty millions of
greenbacks annually, by the sale of
bonds or by the use of the surplus
revenue, until they are all withdrawn
from circulation. In order to obviate
the contraction that would follow this
withdrawal of treasury notes, he would
allow the national banks to issue their
notes to the same amount. After q
short time he would allow free bank
ing. This, of course, would place the
national banks upon q specie basis, as
only the bills of those banks that were
prepared'to redeem their notes in spe-
Gle would circulate at par
The proposition to pay Off the five
twenty bonds in greenbacks is earnest
ly opposed by Mr.. McCulloch, as is
also the present protective tariff He
favors a tariff for revenue, and thinks
that . commission might be appointed
by congress that would represent the
di, erse interests Of the country, and
which would be able to map out some
schedule of tariff rates that would sat
isfy both the protectionists and the
revenue tariff men.
