"A greenback correspondent asks the
Portland Advertiser If the sixty million
demand notes of 1861 were not always
maintained at par with gold by being
legal teuder for all debts public and pri-
yate, without being redeemable in coin.
To this the Advertiser replies las We have
already replied to similar inquiries) that
the demand notes when first issued in
July, 1861, were not legal tender for
anything, but were redeemable in coin on
demand, and for this reason were main
tanned at par until the government sus-
pended specie payments near the begin
ming of 1862. This suspension caused
them to temporarily decline few per
cent. In Feb, 1862, Congress directed
the Secretary of the Treasury to receive
them for coin duties and to destroy them
As fast as received and inasmuch as the
whole amount would be required for coin
payment within a few months, this i'm
mediatly restored them to par again, not
withstanding they were not legal tender
for private debts, but this did not affect
their value. BY June, 1868, all the de-
mand notes except about FIVE million had
been thus received and Cancelled. The
Advertiser deduces from these facts the
following well-established principles Of
political economy ~ That government
o. banL notas radaemahle on demand in
coin, are as good as coin. (2) That if
taxes and duties are generally payable in
coin, SINAI amount Of government notes
receivable for such dues, will remain at
par although not directly redeemAble in
coin, for the reason that the volume is so
small coin has 10 be used for part of the
payments Of duties, and thus the limita-
ton practically gives coin redemption.
49, That the legal-tender quality of a
paper currency for private debts has lit
tie effect upon its value in the market.
The demand notes were at par when they
were not a legal-tender simply because
they were first directly and then indirect
ly redeemable. But the legal tender
greenbacks that were not redeem able de-
preciated as their volume increased, 60
ing as low as 40 cents, and even at the
close of the war were worth only 6S cts
while since they have appreciated just In
proportion as the prospect Of redemption
has increased. Lewiston Journal.

notice in your paper OF tho 18th inst.

Is positively mistaken when he says that
$ B. Bracket, the nominee for clerk OF
courts, was a delegate in the Republican
Convention Mr.. Bracket was never an
active worker in the Republican party.
He has not aided by the ballot, tor two
years, to elect Republican officer -
Bracket was in the place, but would not
have entered the convention, had not q
friend invited him. He heard what Rep
resentalivo Frye had to say on the Finance
question, which talk he could not agree
with in any particular. Should he be
elected, have confidence that his duties

The Example Of France.
F1-Mini.tsr lya.hburns's Explanations Of
French Finance.

4 prominent gentleman OF Watcryille
recently wrote to ex-Minister f. b.
Washburne who was our representative
at Paris from 1869 to 1877, for exact
information as to the financial policy of
France, to which our grcenback orators
refer with so much satisfaction. MIR.
Washburne replied as follows in letter
published by the Watervillc Mail
ID At the outbreak Of the Franco
German war, in 1870, the paper circula-
ton OF the bank Of France was $751;
100000, the bank holding specie
reserve Of s229,O00,000, equal to 80
cents on the dollar There was no other
bank of issue in France, and the lowest
notes issued were for 100 francs, or $40.
The government issued no paper money
then or since.
~ The government, being in great
want of money, authorized the Bank OF
France to issue It's notes to 4 sum OF not
exceeding 3 ,2O0,000,00O francs, or about
S64O, 100000, such notes to be a legal
tender, and specie payments being sus-
pended. OF this issue OF bank paper the
government borrowed in all $50, 00O,-
600 francs, or 100000 600, the same to
be repaid in seven annual installments OF
about 223,000,000 francs each, or S44,-
100000. 1t was provided by law, how
ever, that as soon as the government
should, by payments, reduce the debt due
the bank to 800, 10000 francs or $780,
100000, the notes should cease to be
legal tender and the bank was TO resume
specie payments, the time being Jan. l,
1878.
The war was hardly over, and the in
demnity to Germany put in process Of
payment, before the government began
its repayments to the bank. As fast as
the government paid over the notes to the
bank they were cancelled and the bank
began another form OF reduction 1t
first called in the fve-frauc notes, re-
deeming them in silver soon after and in
order, the 25-franc, 50-frsnc, 200 franc,
and 500-franc notes followed They
were bought up and destroyed.
(3) On the lst of January, 1878, the
bank formally resumed, as it had long be-
fore practically done, specie payments,
and within a month nearly all of the ex-
traordinsry issue of paper put out during
the war had been taken up and destroyed.
The bulk of the regular issues Of the
bank now is in notes of the denominations
of $40, 500, and $500 each all small
money is silver and gold.
At no time was the paper money Of
France in excess of s640,000,000; and
the process of reducing this began imme-
diately after the close Of the German
war. The bank and its forty or more
branches have now only s450, 00O, 900 Of
bank notes outstanding, for the redemp-
ton of which it holds from 95 to SO per
cent. in coin; and this paper money is
not a legal tender to any amount and is
by law redeemable on demand in coin
The issue of bank notes may be in
creased to S650,000,000, but the bank
must, like the bank of England, have the
specie with which to redeem it, and the
paper itself depends on the solveucy Of
the bank, and not upon any Governmental
support beyond being a depOsitOr in the
bank The paper itself is not legal
money, snd nothing il now a legal tender
IN France except gold and silver.
