BlGcksoood's Magazine for September has
been re-published by THE LEONARD SCOTT
PUBLISHING Co., Al Barclay Street, New
York.
Besides the political articles, OF which
there are three, we find continual
ton of John Caldigate, the conclusion of
Gordon Baldwin, and No. 3 of the Second
Series of French Home Life, under the title
of The Idea of Home, describing the most
striking of the various characteristics of the
French home, and showing how the French
idea of home differs SO largely from the
English view.
The recent acquisition of the island of
Cyprus by Great Britain gives great interest
to the article under that head in the present
number. which consists of notes of tour in
that island made by Lady Franklin. The
mere political transfer has given the island
more notoriety than would be achieved by
the discovery of any amount of antiquities.
Those who doubt the existence of the re-
mains of a Greek city in South Africa, and
they are probably many, will be staggered
by the article entitled "a Fetish City,"
made up from the report of digger from
the Diamond Fields and will begin to think,
as the writer suggests, that the ancients
knew more of this world of ours than is
usually accredited to them in the ssClassical
Atlas"
The periodicals reprinted by the THE

don Quarterly, Edinburgh. Westminster,

Specie Resumption.

The New York Times briefly summarizes
the financial condition of the country in
view Of the LIST of January, next, the day
fixed for the law to 60 into operation which
provides for specie resumption =
The most important and obvious facts in
the prese condition of things are created
by the laws. OF these we have three. First,
the Resumption act which directs the Treas
ury to redeem the legal tenders IN coin on
presentation, on and after Jan. l, 1879 Z;
second, the Silver bill, which directs the
coinage of silver dollars at the rate of not
less than 100000 or more than 100000
per month, and makes silver legal tender
without limit third, the act passed by Con-
gress in May last, forbidding the Treasury to
cancel legal tenders received from any
source, and directing it to reissue them and
keep them in circulationn. Outside Of these
facts created by the laws, we have the fol-
lowing in actual existence: Outstanding
legaltender notes, $346, 900, 900; outstanding
national bank notes, $3l6, 1000, 900; total pa
per currency, 1862, 100000; coin in the
Treasury. exclusive of that held for coin
certificates and accrued interest, about $780,
GOO, 600; coin in the banks, between $25.-
600, 900 and S30,000,000; large excess of
exports over imports; general business dull
In the Eastern and Middle States, reviving
in the West and Northwest, and quiet, or
worse, in the South and Southwest; the
discount on legal tenders as compared with
gold, one-haf of per cent; the bullion
value of the silver dollar, SO cents,
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1878-10-10

The nearer currency approaches to the
specie basis the lower will become the in
terest. The passage of the Resumption act,
inspired confidence in the money owners of
this and other countries, and enabled the
government to call in the six per cent. loan
and issue a four per cent. loan, thus saving
to the peGs,A two per cent. Money in New
York is plenty at three and four per cent,
on undoubted security. 1t would be plenty
here at six per cent. were the securities of
unquestioned validity. With resumption
contaminated and values regulated by a
recognized standard, extravagant specula
ton and adventure would not be encour-
aged, and all legitimate business demands
could be accommodated at six per cent
This is the tendency of the times under the
operation of the present financial system,
and it reckless theorists do not control leg
fslation, such result will be reached.

Shall it be National or State Banks
Which?

The element which wants to pull down
the national bank system clamors for the
substitution of greenbacks for the Dank
notes. 1t needs no prophet to foretell that
this is delusion and a snare. Once do
away with the national bank notes and the
restrictions and safeguards which the nation
al legislation has thrown around the bank
ing system, and in an incredibly short time
State banks and private banks would spring
up all around and issue notes with such a
lavish hand that the volume of currency
would be swelled to an extent TO satisfy the
widest infationist. A national bank note
passes current in any and every part of the
Union, and for the reason that no dishon-
esty and had management can effect its val
ne. The bank which issues it may break,
but the note is good, standing on the solid
rock Of the Government pledges. People
do not need to be told to remember the incon-
veniencies experienced before the national
bank system was enacted. The Western
wildcat money cannot be forgotten, nor the
fact that the notes of the banks of more
than one State in the South were constant
ly quoted in the money articles of the East
at heavy discount. The new era Of this
kind of thing would be infinitely worse than
the former.

A False Statement cnrrected.

1t requires steady work to run down all the
ialsehoods concerning the currency put forth
by greenback speakers and papers, but one
OF them has been most conclusively nailed.
In complaining of the alleged enormous
contraction OF the currency they invariably
include in the circulating medium of eleven
or twelve years ago the seven thirty notes,
and to sustain themselves quote letter
from ex-Treasurer Spinner. AS they have
it, it purports to be as follows:
MOHAWK, August 7, 1876.
Dear Sirs Your letter of the 10Th in
slant has been received. In answer l have
to say that the seven thirty Treasury notes
were intended, prepared, issued and used
as currency.
Very respectfully,
F. E. SPINNER"
Mr.. Spinner was recently written to in
regard to the above, and he explains himself
in the following letter, the original Of which
is in the possession of the Coldwater mich
igan) Republican
JACKSONVILLE FLA. August 3, 1878.
"Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 27tb,
postmarked the goth ult., has been forward
ed to me here from my Mohawk home. l
have looked at the printed slip-fthe letter
quoted above-Ed. Rep.l-and although
never wrote "Dear Sirs" in my life, think
the remainder of the letter is genuine. The
reference is, of course to the Dos of 1861.
These were paid out of the Treasury by
millions to Paymasters and Quartermas tiers.
for the payment of troops and purchase OF
provisions. That they were in circulation
for long time as money, and that many OF
them were we'll worn when they came to
the treasury, recollect well. In the cash
accounts of the Treasury they were not car
ried as currency, because they were CONVEX
tible and interest bearing.
every respectfully,

Paper Money.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGURES.
The Chicago Tribune says:
1.-THE amount of paper currency in the
United States in the spring of 1861, just be-
fore the outbreak of the rebellion, was $780,
100000. The banks held at the same time
5000 900 of coin, and there was perhaps
$4,000, 900 more in the hands of the people !;
total circulation medium, 1912 1000, 900, con-
sisting of 1902, 100000 OF bank-notes, and
$1I0,000,000 of gold and silver. This was
about 1914 per capita of population. No
body who had anything to sell complained
Of any scarcity of money. There was plen-
ty Of cash with which to buy, and to loan
all men who could furnish satisfactory Sc
curity. The suf1ciency of the currency was
never doubted or denied, as it was univer-
sally admitted to be equal to the wants of
trade The country is said to be suffering
fearfully at the present time for lack of mon
ey to transact business. This is very Curl
GUS, seeing that there is three times as much
as in 1861, when no one complained of
scarcity of circulating medium. Let us
compare the TWO periods
1S61-$202 900, 900 in bank-notes-
1s7sfss7o 900, 900 bank and-greenback-
1ssiwcoin IN bank and circulation " s1io 600
1678-Coin in bank and circulation ITO 900
'sBank notes per capita in 1861, $3.50;
coin, $3.44-total money per head, 1914.
Greenbacks and bank-notes per capita in
1873, s15; coin, $2.50-total, $3.50. In
this reckoning we have given 1861 credit for
$50, 900, 600 of coin held as bank reserves,
but have not given 1878 credit for cent of
the 5000, 900, 900 of gold and silver now in
the Treasury, s13O, 900 of which belongs
to the Government, and is held for redemp-
ton purposes. On and after January /, 1879,
there will be, including the new coinage.

Of gold and silver for redemption purposes,
$1,000, 600 of private coin deposited with
an equal amount of certificates issued to the
owners and used as money, and $120, 1000, 900
of gold and silver coins in circulation in the
hands of the people or held by banks as re-
serves llberating greenbacks; and all of it
par money. And yet we have reckless dema-
gogues going about the country telling peo-
pie that the country is dying of monetary
thirst, and all business is perishing for want
of enough money to transact business.
