maintain United States notes at par The in
evitable effect Of the continuance of this coin.
age for few years more will be to compel the
Department. to maintain Its specie reserve In
gold coin, irreApective OF the silver on hsnalr
or to adopt the single silver standard Tor all
government purposes. The object manifestly
designed by the passage of the act for the con-
age Of the silver dollar was to secure to the
people OF the United States the benefits of a
bi-metallic standard OF value. 1t was forcibly
urged that to demOnetiZe silver would increase
the burden of debts, and r. st the value of all
property upon the quantity OH hand OF sim
gle metal. 1t was not the intention of the
trainers of the act TO demouetize gold, but TO
maintain both gold and silver as standards of
value. This has been done for thousands of
years, but only by adopting, as nearly as pos.
slole, the relative market value of the two
metals as the ratio for coinage, aud by chang
ing the ratio adopted whenever for period of
years it was demonstrated that the market ra-
Ito had changed. The United States has con-
formed to this custom of civilized nations, and
the Constitution recognized it by authorizing
Congress to coin money, and TO regulate its
value.
Under this authority Congress provided, in
1893, that the ratio should be one ounce of
gold to fifteen ounces Of silver and on the 2Sth
OF June, 1884. it changed the ratio to one
ounce Of gold to sixteen ounces of silver.
1t would appear that Congress somewhat
Overrated silver in 1888, and underrated 1t in
1884, but it is now certain that sixteen ounces
OF Silver are not worth one ounce OF gold, aud
il silver were coined without limit on that ba-
sis, it would eventually bring us to a single
silver standard.
The Secretery therefore recommends the ad-
option OF a ratio for coinage based on market
value, believing that thus, and thus only. can
the double Standard be maintained and d
steady market made for our silver product =
1t is recommended that fractional silver
should be approximated to silver coin.
In regard to national banks the Secretary
says:-"The misunderstanding system has fully
realized all the expectations of its fou iders.
1t has furnished a safe currency, OF uniform
circulation, carefully guarded against counter
feiting, protected by ample reserves, and
promptly redeemed both at the banks and the
Treasury. No other legislation in respect to
these important corporations seems to be re-
quired at the present session."

It may be that during this period, by the
change Ut our financial condition, or from un-
ioreseen events, the government will not be
able, as in tunes past to apply sums so large
TO the reduction of the debt; but it is probable
that any temporary deficiency would soon be
made good by increased revenue. This contiil-
gency may be provided for by the terms of the
bonds.
The Secretary, therefore, recommends that
provision be made for the issue of an amount
not exceeding $400, ,000,OO0 of treasury notes i'm
denominations OF not less than ten dollars,
bearing interest not exceeding four per cent.
per anhum, aud running from one to ten years.
to be sold at rot less than par, the amount
maturing during any year not 10 exceed the
sinking fund for that year, and the proceeds to
0apPlied to the payment of five and six per
cent ponds maturing in 1881. 1t is believed
that with the present favorable of the money
market, sufflcient amount of such treasury
notes, bearing an annual interest of three per
cent, can be sold to meet considerable por-
tion OF the maturing bonds; but it is better to
confer upon the department q discretionary
power to stipulats for higher maximum rate,
to avoid the possibility of failure. Such dis.
cretion is not likely to be abused, while a
power too carefully restricted may defea, the
beneficial object Of the law.
1t Is also recommended that authority be
given to sell at par an amount not exceeding
S4oO'OOO,0OO OF bonds of the character and de-,
scr1ptlon OF the four per cent. bonds of the
United States now outstanding, but bearing
rate OF interest not exceeding three and sixty-
five one-hundredths per cent. per annum, and
redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States after fifteen years, the proceeds to be
applied to the payment Of bonds redeemable
on or before July I, 1881. Though the amount
OF the two classes of securities Recommended
exceeds the amount Of bouds to be redeemed,
no more can be sold than the bonds to be re.

the other on the Pacific coast, at the Bay of
Golfto. The only safe harbors, sufficiently
commodious, on the Isthmus, are at these
points, and the distance between them is less
than one hundred miles. The report of the
Secretary of the Navy concludes with valuable
suggestions with respect to the building up of
our merchant marine service, which deserve
the favorable consideration of Congress.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The report of the Postmaster General exss

perhaps, represent with greater exactness the
increase in the population and the business of
the country. In 1860 the postal receipts were

3l5.479.34. All the inhabitants of the country
are directly and personally interested in hav-
ing proper mail facilities, and naturally
watch the Post Office very closely. This care
full oversight on the part of the people has
proved constant stimulus to Improvement.
During the past year there was an increase of
2l34 post offices, and The mail routes we're ex-
tended 27.177 miles, making an additional an
nual transportation of 10,804, ,191 miles. The
revenues OF the postal service for the ensuing
year are estimated at $38, ,845, ,174.10, and the
expenditures at S42.475 ,932, leaving de6cien-
cv tn he appropriated out of the Treasury OF
So 63O,757 80.
The Universal Postal Union has received
the accession of almost all the countries and
colonies of the world maintaining organized
postal services, and it is confidently expected
that all the other countries and colonies now
outside the Union will soon unite Herewith,
thus realizing the grand idea and aim of the
founders of the Uuion, of forming, for
purposes of international mail communca-
ton, a single postal territory embracing the
world, with complete uniformity of postal
charges, and conditions of international ex-
change, for all descriptions of correspondence.
To enable the United States to do Its full share
of this great work, additional legislation is
asked BY the Postmafter General, to whose
Recommendations especial attention Is called.
