THE value Of conscience received a
very delicate illustration day or two ago in
Washington, in the case Of man who sent
twenty-five cents to the United States
Treasury, which amount it is charitable to
suppose was duly charged on the books of
the conscience fund. This man had con-
science of a miserable kind. 1t was too
large for the occasion. He had smoked a
cigar which he knew was struggled. AT.
ter meditating and grooming over his guilt
he sent in an amount sufficient to cover the
duty. Modesty viii keep that man from
becoming saint. His temptation, his
fall, and his reform should be recounted in
letters Of gold and prominently displayed
in all the public offices of the land. And
novelist and poet should narrate the story
Of the man who had conscience.

FiNANCEIN CONGRESS-

We commend the following from the
Richmond Dispatch to thoughtful atten-
ton. The views are radical bnt will bear
examination, and we believe them cor
rect: .r
"Those who oppose any increase are
clamorous for specie payments, and lay
down the proposition that gold is the only
basis for money. Against this dogma is
the fact that this basis fails as soon as there
is distrust Of the paper money that is based
upon it. The moment the public are anx-
ious to.convert their paper into gold those
who issue the paper suspend the redemp-
ton of their notes with gold. Be it the
true basis or not, we ask what sort Of ba-
sis can that be which in this country has
not been paid, has not come to the aid of
its paper representative, more than one.
third of the time of the present century
The present suspension has lasted fifteen
years. and must last some years to come.
"But through the war and its necessities
we have now a basis which is satisfactory
to the people that basis of the public
credit OF the nation. That is better than
gold. Educated as we have been, we sup
pose everybody looks to the ultimate re-
demption of paper money with gold. And
yet why should its redemption in this way
be desired as long as it is satisfactory to all
and subserves the purposes of commerce
The recent panic showed that it was re-
garded with q faith equal to that in gold.
1t was boarded like gold. And was it not
safer and better to keep than gold?
There has been great revolution in
the world through the new engineries of
communication and transportation. Com
merce has enormously increased. Cod.
as amedium ofeychange, has been so affected
by these events that the hard.money views
of past days are totally inapplicable to
these times. Gold may be useful in the
settlement Of balances between banks and
nations but team never perform so active
part in trade as to approach the wants Of
the transactions of this age. So the cry
for immediate specie pay ments is senseless.
So immensely have the transactions ofthe
world and the demands of commerce in
creased that the agency of gold compared
with its uses in times gone by is utterly
inadequate to the services the hard-money
men would throw upon it."
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1874-02-23
THE ExCHEaUER NECESSARY.

We have witnessed for now nearly three
months every form of division and every
shade Of diversity in the debates in both
houses of Congress, and it is confusion
worse COMPOUNDED. No single proposition
commands the approval Of any party. All
are at sea with no rudder or compass.
The bill for a National Exchequer is now
before the country. All houghtfm men
must come to the conclusion that some such
measure is the true solution of our finan-
cial difficulties. Initiation or contraction
are not the practical questions before the
country or Congress, but the real questions
are, what action is necessary to bring into
their proper positions our vast credit and
our money now idle, and how these means
can be made to do duty in actual business?
We have reached that point in our career
with mischievous antagonisms in currency,
when we must either destroy the hostility
between the government and the capital
of the country, or see condition OF
confusion to which the fearful scenes of
September last will be as nothing. Men
who are so blind as to favor a system devised
for plethora Of paper money when there
exists less than the country requires, must
be blind to the plalnest dictates of COM
mon sense. If our currency were coin,
we might import from other nations some
ofthei money. We are shut up to ourselves,
as ave alone can or do use our own paper
money of legal tenders and BANK issues.
No outside assistance can help us, as if we
imported gold it would simply add to oul
embarrassment, since it would require just
that much more paper currency to buy
and sell it. A local currency is an absTdity
The coin men wish to compress what is
not compressible, an irredeemable paper
money issued by government, the volume
of which they dare not and cannot dinaif.
ISL without breaking down every interest
in the country. What then is the remedy
What can be done? We must improve the
currency in quality while we increase its
folumc W Tile HehiItliil HceuS VI puolHCoS
Senator Sumner says compound interest
note or bond will not add TO, but it will de-
crease the amount not only of the circula
ton but will add nothing, but will detrac
from the amount achich can be lent to thu
people. Hence, this and all Of the same
kind of propositions are futile. A Nationa
Exchequer or some such measure seem!
the only available expedient to harmonic
conflicting views. We are driven to the
alternative which Mr.. Calhoun said existed
in 1916; we must create national bank Of
some institution which is germane to tn,
banks of the country, and the Exchequel
from the admirable device of the Issue
Department seems to overcome all of tn,
objections which men urged against banl
of the United States on constitutions
grounds. If 1000 banks are constitutional
certainly the Exchequer cannot be obnox
ious to any objections on the ground of it
constitutionalty.
