The New Treasury Policy.

The announcement that Secretary Sher-
man has begun the sale of new bonds for
gold, with the purpose of preparing for re-
sumption, is welcome news to all who favor
the earliest possible return to the specie
standard of value. With the gold thus OBJ
tanned the Secretary will buy greenbacks.
This is the first step necessary to be taken,
but it must be vigorously followed up to be
made of benefit. The success of the move
ment for resumption will entirely depend up
on the disposition made of the purchased de.
mand notes. The use of the gold in imme-
diateIy Withdrawing from circulation the su-
perfuous greenbacks and thus reducing at
once the redundant paper currency is
perhaps quite as effectual and much
our currency on a sound basis, than
that of boarding the metal until 1879.
But to accomplish the object aimed at the
greenbacks must be permanently retired. So
long as they remain in the Treasury vaults
there is danger, as the country knows to its
cost, that they will be reissued whenever
panic-struck financiers persuade themselves
that it is necessary to check Temporary
stringency." Resumption can only be reached
through contraction, and some stringency
