commercial world is therefore at the mercy OF
a child with any number of loaded muskets I'D
hand or within reach.
But how much better will it be if Congress
undertakes the management of the currency
From the nature of our paper system immense
powers for good or evil must be vested either
in Congress-, or in the Administration, or III
both. The limit of the grcenback circulation
was supposed to be fixed. Every Ope sup
posed it was $356000,0O0 until Boutwell, ana
Richardson made their grand discovery OF the
forty four million reserve. COncede the exist
ence of this unlawful, unconstitutional re-
serve forthwith there is an agitation for Tree
banking and equal rights to put forth neon
vertible notes. and fifty or hundred millions
are added to the National Bank circulation.
We know that a majority in both Houses Oh
the present Congress are in favor OF a mou-
crate imitation, but who can tell what they
will be in favor of when they meet next
December, after the elections have been heid
If they are now approached with concessions
and compromises, what prophet can foreteii
the amount of currency which year hence
they will think the country requires 10 do
business in a style becoming this great anu
growing hepuDHci Ihe cNh VI "ho'i Wv
merchants complain is in the paper money
system, and can be eradicated only with the
system. Let Congress once vote to enlarge
the paper circulation in order to revive busi-
ness. and no business is safe. The structure
of mercantile credit will have received q
wound which the highest courage and
wisest craftsmanship will find it diff
cult task to cure. The only safety
consists in fixing the legal-tender limit
at $356,OOO,OOO or less. Place it at
3Sa,OOO,OOO or s4OO,OOOOOO, and we have
launched our boat into stream which Will
carry it to bankruptcy. If the merchants and
business men are willing to compromise ON this
question; if they are now ready to yield
twenty-six millions or forty-four millions to
initiation, they must expect to see, and they
will see, more initiation, and perhaps at tho
next session of this very Congress.
