CURRENCY.

The revival of Wall Street and the
reported immense gains recently Sc.
cured by prominent stock gamblers
in New York, have awakened fears in
some quarters that the existing vol
ume CT the currency is too large to
be carried with safety. The conse-
auence La. that parties interested for
the national banks are suggesting and
advocating contraction through the
retirement and cancellation Of green
backs. Mr.. John Jay Knox, Comp
troller Of the Currency and Mr..
James Gilfllan, United States Treas
urer, both contend that sound finan-
ciering demands the withdrawal of
greenbacks, Their idea is, that the
influx OF gold is initiating the curren-
= cy and producing such a spirit of
speculation rs will inevitably lead TO-
q corresponding era Of depression.
TO s~ubstantiate their views they re-
fer to increase of imports, the adj
vance that has taken place in the
value of all sorts Of property, /: and
the enormous business of the New
York Stock Exchange. 1t is impos-
sible to state how much such views
are due TO Political sentiment. To
: the obsereant and intelligent it is
Obvious that the gold and allver
brought to this country have not
passed from hand TO hand, and
therefore, have not inflated the crr-i
rency. The issue or greehbacks is
regulated by law, and no addition
has been made to- their .ysiune.
1ghe blackbacks have been increased
only some eleven or twelve millions.
Il, is, impossible then, that EXPANDED
, Of imports, :sapaaee IN prices and re-
8 newai of stock gambling arise wholly
from limitations ~ Indeed, when 1t is
remembered that biackbacks are re-
deenabis ii greshbacksI and these
convertible at pleasure into coin,
it would appear that anything like

THE NATIONALS.

The late elections establish the fact
that a rapid disintegration of the
greenback element has taken place.
The vote cast by the so-caled green
back-labor organization seems to have
come mainly from the Workingmen's
leagues. Most Of the greenbackers
have returned to their former political
faiths, and those that have declined
to follow the example of the majority
of their comrades can, by themselves,
cut no figure hereafter at the polls ;
their highest future ambition Is there
fore, of necessity, confined to render
lHg assistance TO the Workin,ymen.
This result has been looked for. In
ssead of increasing in strength grad
ually they have heeR annually grow
irg weaker, and like the anti asons
and Know-NothIngs they will soon
pass entirely out of the public mind
leaving the duty of maintaining either
the greenback or the treasury note as
an integral part of the currency to
the Democracy, so as to conform to
what may be the decision of the
United States supreme court on that
point.
In our ever increasing condition of
population no party has yet sustained
itself whose numbers did not grow
annually, and so long as this condi-
ton of expansion of population con-
%tinues, it is safe to say that no party
can keep itself in existence that does
not regularly augment its votes. Fhis
rule is as applicable TO The Democratic
and Republican parties as to all 9TH
ers. There Is also another historical
fact connected with parties i'm this
country which all would do well to
consider. From the adoption Of the
constitution TO this time there has
been but one successful third party
the an~tl-slavery. That party in
creased annually /; it never faltered
it never diminished it took no steps
backwards (; but IN process of time 1t
ceased to be a third party, and then,
after absorbing the Wing party, and
not till then, did it embody its fun
damental principles upon the legisia-
ton and constitution of the country,
and it is questionable if th&t had been
done ifthe southern states had stood
by their rights in the union.
The national committee has given
notice of a meeting at Washington on
the Sth of January, 1880, to consider
the propriety Of holding a convention,
to which it has invited greenback
committeeman and editors. As in
timated, they may put up a candidate,
but it is not probable that he will re-
ceive as much as a single electoral
vote. Outside of cities and manufact-
uring towns the Workingmen have no
strength. 1,. .f..

The influx of goldt into this country
has been of inestiinable advantage.
1t has furnished withoat material in
crease of it a sound basis for our cur
rency. 1t has restored confidence /;
il has promoted industry; it has
blessed agriculture /: but the amount
received this year, and indeed alto
gether, bears such a small ratio to
the sum required to meet -ths~waats
of our people and conduct the, bust
ness operations of the coHntry as to
render dangerous imitation from that
source altogether incredible .af All
rJations, as well as individuals ought
always to take timely warning of the
approach of danger, but we e in
what is transpiring only assurance of
prosperity. The country is emerg-
ing from years of trial and depression.
1t has been sometime since property
of any sort was generally regarded
as more desirable than money. The
abundant harvests lately gathered
have increased the purchasing abili-
ties of our farmers, and it is quite
natural that they should now supply
themselves with the things they have
long needed but felt unable 10 obtain.
AS almost all the commodities On II
markets have been sold at less than
the cost of their production, an adj
in the price asked for them is
the natural outgrowth of increased
demand for them. There is, therefore,
nc reason to attribute the renewed
spirit of enterprise and speculation
that is being manifested everywhere
to currency cause To do this, is
to overlook the bounties of Provi-
dence, and to throw out of calculation
the benefit which has accrued to the
nation from abundant crops and for
eign demand for surplus production.
