SECRETARY SHERMAN ALL RIGHT FOR THE E1.
PERTINENT.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has re-
turned from New FORK, and is even in
more hopeful frame Of mind, II possible,
than before he went as to the complete
success OF resumption. The, Secretary
realizes that.wea are entering upon what
had been aptIyI described assthe greatest
experiment OF the age, and he has no fears
whatever but that it will be magnificent
success. 1t must not be lost sight OF that
the United States Government is resum-
ing specie payments under circumstances
which are different from the experience
OF any other country in asimilar case. The
agaitators IN and outof Congress who have
from the beginning arrayed themselves
in opposition TO everything that is
sound in finance succeeded for the time
being in creating public sentiment Of
sufficient force TO cause the enactment OIL
sundry legislative provisions the effect Of
whichisto impede rather than assist specie
resumption. tt is useless tolparticularize
more than one Of these provisions-that We
are 10 resume with a paper currency OF as
large a volume as when gold stood at a
premium OF 50.per. cent. or more; yet
The arrangements which have lbeenl
made are deemed to be- 50 thorough and
comprehensive rs to -obviate all danger
which might naturally be Expected from
this fact. The treasury considers itseli
amply prepared to meet the strain, even
ifthe great bulk of-the legal tenders
should be presented for redemption! But,
unless all calculations are at fault, 1t is not
apprehended that coin will be demanded
to any appreciable extent a4g< saE
