This estimate does not include
the loss of slave property, and yet
eight out of the ten years we had
an irredeemable currency, and
portion of the time $1.00 in gold
worth $3.50 in currency. If evils
are to result from large volume of
redeemable currency, how did it
happen that such prosperity flowed
from the channels of an irredeema-
BILE currency, almost boundless in
volume?
The statistics of England, France
and Germany all show a much
larger volumne of currency in pro-
portion than the United States has,
and who will deny but that wisdom
dictates that we should profit BY
their experience. The statistics
from reliable sources are about as
follows:

fit is true that money is the
representative of property, from the
foregoing it will be seen that we
have property valued at $30,06S.
$4,000, sold, bought, exchanged
and represented by $669,OOO.OOc, or
sI.OO currency representing the
value of S44.95 in property, and for
the people, 1892 per capita.
The English Government has al
ways relieved herself from panics
and financial crises, by suspension
Of specie payment and expansion
of her currency. There was her
panic of1793, relieved how? By u
loan to the merchants of London
by her Prime minister of $25,O0O,
600. Again four years afterwards,
in 1897, another panic came, and
Parliament authorized a suspension
of specie payment by the Bank OF
England which lasted twenty one
years, and the people were relieved
at once. The same thing was done
in the panic of 1916. Parliament
suspended specie payment for five
years, and the people found relief.
In 1925, a panic came, and although
there was no actual suspension, yet
| E1,OOO,OO0 was brought into addi-
tional circulation, and the people
we're relieved. In 1874 and 1917,
the panics were relieved by the is
suance of large amounts of money
by the Bank, and at the same time
increasing her discounts. The ter
rible panic of 1857was relieved, how
By allowing the Bank to increase The
volume of her circulating currency
far beyond her legal limits; and il
1866, the identical same thing was
done. So that the relief always re
sorted to for financial crises anC
panics, by that great Commercial
country, was always by expansion
and aevsr By contraction.

arrive at the following conviction
which 1 believe to be thorough,
Democratic, sound in principle, an
to the interest of the people.
Ist. There is q certain mutual re
lation between the volume of th
currency and tho demands OF trad
and commerce which cannot be con
tracted without financial disaster
2nd. That at this time, or in 1875
a return to specie payment woul
. be ruinous to the South and Wes
: and benefit none save the Bullionis
Banker and BondhOlder.
3rd. That the history of the Ems
lish financial system, from 1893 I
1866, shows that sudden resumptio
= of specie payments is always atten,
: ed with disaster, and can only i
. remedied by expansion of the Gu
o rency.
4th. That the amount of spec
. never claimed to be higher tha
sI5O, COO, GOO, is insufficient and ia
s practicable to circulate as a mediu

Hot Mountain Springs.
correspondent writing concerning

A correspondent writing concerning
the San Juan region Of Colorado sayss
The greatest natural wonders OF this
district, however, or the whole of Amer
lea, for that matter, are the famous Pa
gosa hot springs, on the left bank of the
San Juan River, near the northern
boundary OF New Mexico. The main
spring 10 sixty feet in diameter, boils up
in the center like a cauldron, has tenn
perature OF 160 degrees, and has depos-
tied its sediment over an area of ground
equal to twenty acres. The main spring
is of unfathomable depth, the water
clear as crystal, and standing upon its
brink one seems to be gazing down into
the bowels of hell.
This impression is greatly strength
ened by the tunes OF sulphur, which are
so strong at times as TO be almost nause-
ating. You can not hold your hand in
the water an instant, and snakes and
ether reptiles that have the misfortune
to tumble into the spring are thoroughly
cooked before they get cut. The Utss
and other Indians regard these springs
with superstitiOus awe. Although the
land upon which they stand was ceded
to the Government, the indians claim
that they reserved the spring, and will
allow no pale-tace squatter to stick up
his cabin in that locality. The waters
possess wonderful medicinal qualities,
and bath leaves the skin as soft and
smooth as o creased liberty pole.

NARROW GAUGES. Although there has
been, of late subsideuce in public ex-
preston in relation to our proposed sys-
tenn OF narrow gauge railroads. we can
net presume that this indicates any in
tent to abandon the field OF enterprise in
this regard. There is no city nor region
Of country more favorably situated than
this for the profitable prosecution of this
system OF local roads.
A Boston party engaged in this kind
Of undertaking has submitted the follow
ing facts as illustrative of the compare
tive accommodations and cost of the
narrow and broad-gauge roads:
"a locomotive, baggage car, Pullman
car and iour pas senger cars on The
Eastern road give capacity for two hum
dFed and thirty passengers, weigh 13S
tons, and cost $685. 200; one locomotive
and six passenger cars on the Revere
Beach and Lynn Road (narrow-gauge)
give capacity Tor 272 passengers, weigh
b8 tons, and cost only sig, 900. The dat
ference in the cost OF the roads is still
more marked" rit
The difference is immense, and shows
that a RarroW-gauge road is practicable
for almost every prosperous town OF
neighborhood not served. by the great
trunk lines Of railway. These roads are
in demand to serve as connection be
tween Cincinnati and her numerous
suburbs.

a so cent silver piece. She picked
it up, turned it over, looked at il

that ?"
"That's so cent piece, madam
replied the polite clerk, who
thought the woman was making
''game" of him.
"Phat y'say 2" said the woman, as
she took up the coin and held it in
the palm of her hand in the light.
It's so cent piece. madam-sil-

Certainly, madam" said the
clerk, recovering himself, and
sounding The coin on the counter.
"That's genuine silver just being

woman decidedly, as she showed
the silver piece back. Give me

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
The cabinet Changes = Bal
ance of Trade Improving.


WAsHINGTON, D. c., May &c, '76.
The change in tho Cabinet is excl
ting much discussion, the major part
of it evoked by the appointment of
Don Cameron. The guessers say that
this was a movement in favor of Conk-
ling, but L happen to know better.
Some time since, President Grant said
to one of the leading Republican candi-
dates that he would make no changes
in the cabinet in the interest of any
one as a candidate and he is known to
be a man who abides by his pledges.
The facts are, that Attorney General
PierepOnt differed with the President
upon question of policy in regard to
an important matter, which would be
referred to the Attorney General, while
Secretary Taft agreed with the Presi-
dent. Pierrepont was anxious 70 go to
England, and wos consequently tender
ed the mission, and his place given to
Taft, who much preferred it to the Sec
retaryship of the war Office. Of Mr..
'DOn" Cameron's fitness for the posi-
to which he has been appointed, there
is no question, it beiug admitted that
he is a man of splendid executive abil-
ity. Thus the changes are accounted
for, without giving them the signifi-
canoe attempted to be attached by the
news moDgers.
DR.. Edward Young has furnished
me with the advance sheets of the re-
port of the bureau of statistics, for the
period ending April 10Th, 1876. They
show a marked decrease in the imports
for the first ten months of the fiscal
year, a large decrease in the exports
of specie and bullion, and an increase
in the value of merchandise exported.
For the ten months ending April Goth,
1876, the imports decreased from those
of the corresponding ten months of the
previous year $50, los, 255. The exports
of specie and bullion decreased dur
ing the same time s21 ,0s2, 912, while the
exports OF merchandise Increased in
gold value 81, 635, 1900. These figures
show a saving to the country in that
period of $50, 613, S12 in gold, and q to-
tai saving in gold and greenbacks of
over $S6, O0O,0 600. This is very COM
Portable showing of economy and in
creased wealth for ten months of one
year, and If it is continued and foreign
capital can be induced to come here, as
the prospects of q general European
war Indicate that it will, promises bet
ter times soon. LOGAN.
