During the thirteenth century
the wages of farm lsborers in Eng
land were equal to fifty cents a
week in our currency. They have
slowly advanced to 1915 a week,
the present average. a bushel of
wheat in the thirteenth century
would pay for eight and a half
days work. Now a laborer gets a
bushel of wheat for two and halt
days work. In six centuries the
price of meat in England has ad-
vanced from 6 cents to about IA
cents a pound. This. after all, is
progress.

r RESUMPTION.
SPECIE PAYMENT.

f. BY law passed in 1874 the Secreta-
ryl of the Treasury was required to pay
specie for Treasury notes presented at
the Subtreasury in New York com
mencing January /, 1879. In New
York New Year is a legal holiday and
there is no business transacted there
on holidays, consequently there were
no treasury notes presented at the
Subtreasury for payment, and no
specie paid January 1, 1870. To-day,
Jan. 2, 1S79,specie will be paid,is being
paid, at the Subtreasury, New York,
! for treasury notes, as required by the
law of 1874. This is resumption of
specie payment by the Government, or
what is called resumption. But it is
not exactly resumption of specie pay
ment, for the Government has never
paid specie for it's treasury notes till
now. 1t is the beginning Of specie
payment of treasury notes and not the
resumption. Specie payment has how
ever anticipated the time fixed for it
| by law. On the 18th of last Deem
Der gold was sold on the Stock En-
change, New Y ork, at par, by the ten
thousand dollars and it was said to
have been sold and was quoted on the
Gold Exchange, New York, at par, and
from that time till now it has been
quoted at par And from then till
now specie has been frequently if not
generally paid.
That the Government Will be able
to continue specie payment we have
no doubt. And it will do more: 1t
will receive treasury notes as well as
specie for it's customs. It has already
been found and will continue to be
found that the people generally will
prefer treasury notes to coin or even
gold. The Governments promise to
pay with its known ability to pay will
be preferred to either silver or gold
Some of the banks of Eastern cities
and Chicago have been for some time
paying specie and even gold for their
notes, and now, the Government hay
ing resumed, they will also resume and
pay specie for their notes. And it will
be with them, to a great extent, as it
lis with the Government, the people
knowing them to be able to pay specie
would rather have their notes than
coin. So resumption and specie pay
ment Will come about without embar-
rassment and tend to restore conf
| dence and improve business.
