The correctness OF the point mAdo,
namely, that private or inferior credits
expand in proportion as the volume
of currency is arbitrarily contracted,
is demonstrated by the above table Of
bank loans and discounts. As the
volume Of bank loans is small COM
pared to the aggregate OF private in-
debtedncss Represented by notes, bills,
drafts, and accounts, it is fair to o.
sume that every dollar Of contraction
Of the currency, from 1865 to 1873,
csused tho expansion, by much
larger sum, of the volume Of private
credits. Thus, the pyramid stand.
ing on Its apex was raised only to
"topple over the whole financial sys-
tenn with a oraah," last September
Bankers, brokere and money. lenders,
foresaw that the real cause or tho panic
would be discovered through investi-
cation and analysis; and hence, to
head of the people In their inevitable
demand for more currency, loudly de-
clsred that the financial disturbance
was caused By . redundant currency,
and that the road to recuperaton and
revival of the industries lay through
. resumption Of specie payments
When they were asked bow the gov
eminent could resume In the face Of
general monetary distress, and the
large gold demands Of Europe, e
meet interest and indebtedness fol
merchandise, they wore cornered, and
retired under cover Of proposition
to prepare to resume at the end Of
feap gears. But the country has fol.
lowed the lead eftIis interested ciasl
until It finds itself iu the last ditch.

Ask TiE people.

If those members Of Congress who
are urging early specie resumption at
this time, when . universal want OF
confidence. or in other words, die
trustful feeling exists among the poo-
pie, ~ to our financial condition, will
only go among the people and talk
with them as to the measure and the
policy Of contraction to that end, they
will find that the people are in no way
dissatisfied with the character of our
currency, nor are they urging Con-
sress to make that currency rcdeenia-
bic 10 gold. There will be those
found perhaps, who would replace
our national bank notes with legal
tenders, but almost none will be found
who want less currency, while very
many viii be found who want 4 good
deal more. To listen to the speeches
of many members, and some Of these
from the Middle and Western States,
one would suppose that their constitu-
ents were hungering and thirsting to
make the greenback dollar equal to
The gold dollar. So far as VIC have
observed, we have not heard any thing
Of the kind. All that we have noticed
upon this subject hes come from
money dealers in commercial centers.
The fact is that the effort already made
to bring about final resumption which
has been continuous under the present
administration has already reduced The
currency to less ,han the country's
needs.
The fnter-Oceaa gives the views Of
Judge Kelley. of Penn, npon this
question and ,nakes some remarks
thereon, portion of which we regard
90 well said, We publish that portion.
We wish however. 10 say that We
would contine the expansion Of the
currency, If possible, 10 tho forty -four
million reserve, bnt would mot hesitate
to ieeue more iftime shNll demonstrate
the need OF It.
have said that those who raise the
cry OF resumption and contraction are,
in my view, the intistionistss OF the
day. In proportion as you contract
tho currency In country Of resources,
peoplcd by an enterprieing people, yon
force private credit into expansion
You contract the currency aud build q
pyramid standing on it's apex. The
circulating medium--the money with
which retail trade IL carried on, and
wages paid, and the expenses Of travel
borne-is withdrawn, and credit rises,
ever broadening, until, with your in.
verted pyramid, your whole financial
system topples over with . crash
Speech Of Hon. ". D. Kelley.
In July, 1865, the total circulation
Of tho United States wac 81 500 SIC, 1858
On the 30th Of September, 1873, the
total circulation was 1851, l91, 497--s
contraction, in eight years, Of 81, 49,.
l79, 46l. When this process Of retiring
currency commenced. the volume Of
bank and commercial credits began u
expand. To what extent commercial
credits increased is not known. but the
growth of the loans and discounts Of
the national banks ia shown BY their
reports, as exhibited in the following
table, given in the course Of Judge
Kelley's speech: 100 i5s6

NEW YORK DRY GooDs MARKRr.-There
is an undercurrent OF activity in the package
trade during the week. The market for cotton
goods. although quiet in most departments, was
steady, and prices were firmly maintained by
the agents, who look for a much more acti We
movement within the next ten days, and conse-
quently evince no pressure to sell. The print
market attracted the attention of country Job
bers In marked degree, and while staple me-
dunn and lark fancies were disposed of in fair
quantities, there was real activity only in side
band styles, which, when found in tasteful pat
terms, were taken by country jobbers imme-
diately on arrival, and for prints Of this class
the demand exceeded the production. The
supply OF prints was materially increased dur
ing the week by the opening OF some of the lead
ing brands. Prices for standard prints for the
fall trade vary from all cents, according to
the character of the work. Novelties, even
when produced by pigment dyes, are for the
moment taken readily at higher figures than
those demanded for the best madden fancies.
Wooden goods were in irregular demand, and
on the whole not very active. Fancy cassimeres
OF attractive les were placed with the cloth
ing trade in fair amounts, and worsted coatin Is
continued in favor. Cloths and oyercoatinSs
were in comparatively light request There
was no movement of Importance in foreign
goods during the week, und sales from first
hands were exclusively restricted to the most
staple fabrics, wbice was selected in moderate
