Result of RESUMPTION.

The resumption of specie pay ments
like the taking effect OF the silver bill,
has set at naught the predictions Of its
enemies as well as those OF its friends
Those opposing the measure believed
there would be run for goIi as soon
as the Treasury doors should he opened
which would result in speedy collapse
of the project. Thus far there are no
indications of such run on the contra
~ there is probably more gold in the
Treasury to-day than there was the day
resumption began.
But the extent to which it has disap-
pointed its friends must be mOrtitying
to them. There il no "restoration OF
confidence !" there Is no sign OF "revi.
val in. business" and the tendency of
everything is still down, down, down.
1t is already apparent that the mere
fact Of paper currency rating at trifle
below gold had nothing whatever to do
with the prostration OF business. If
u ere be one single conclusion which the
science OF finance clearly establishes, 1T
is that the hard times was the resuE OF
contraction of the currency. If this is
not true hen the whole science is gigan-
tic humbug
In one thing those opposing resump
tion at present were correct in their pre-,
diction: that prediction gwss that the at
tempt to resume would involve a fearful
contraction of the cui1secy This is
fully verified One fourth Of all the
money of the country is under lock and
key, and for any good it does, might as
we'll be in the Atlantic Ocean.
The sole effect of resumption, so far
as It yet appears, has been to cause
further contraction of the currency, and
thus to make the hard times still harder
