THE FINANCE QUESTION "A FEW OF

EaciAL to road up on finance, suggesting in
hat connection list OF authorities whose views

ware what was inside the covers Of their re-
pectiye works. Aud again, on Saturday, the
Herald assumes this same lofty attitude OF ex-
rene wisdom and dogmatic utterAnce, saying Of
The COMMERCIAL and another city paper that
50 neither of th3m pretend to understand the
finsncial question, and proceodlps to poHr out

ment. Let us, therefore, take occasion to say,

it does not understand tho first principle OF Il.

question which it declares to DO the greatest
now pending in tho nation. Aud while We may

work as tho pointing out Of all it docs not know
OH the money question, wo shall proceed, here,
to show some features of the most patent and
least excusablc nonsense, which with an air OF
superior information it lets loose upon its read
