the state OF affairs in this country, the
paper currency Is undergoing contrac-
ton by the surrender OF bank notes
II this state OF things Is to last, upon
what ID there TO build hope OF re-
turning prosperity? In the
last three years, according to y
London economist, prices have fallen
more than 20 per cent. Thus money
has appreciated In that ratio. In the
quarter OF century following the
gold discoveries OF California and
Australia, the stock Of precious metals
In use as money was increased by
nearly 40 per cent. and the commerce
OF England and the United States
during the same period in
creased more than four-fold and
the wealth proportioDately Reverse
the conditions. Shut Off all the
money supply and what room for
hope Is there for mankind except for
those whose incomes are sure? With
the appreciation OF money, all debts
appreciate. When IL il remembered
that such debts run into tens of bill
lions more than the entire present
wealth of the United States, the vast
consequences OF the appreciation Of
money are seen. The con-
troll of the feudal lords
over the earth in the middle ages
was Insignificant compared with the
control OF modern creditors, kings and
lords, who through legislation can Sc
cure an increase in the value ofmoney.
1t can be shown that 1t will take more
labor or more of the pro-
duce of labor to pay what
remains OF our own national debt now
than 1t would have taken to pay it all
at the close Of the war. Twenty-Five
million bales OF cotton were equivalent
In value to the entire interest bearing
debt In 1855 but it will take IS, 900, 600
bales at the price OF cotton now to pay
the remainder Of the debt. Twenty
dive million tons of bar iron would
have paid the whole debt In 1866,
1t will take 35 10000 tons to
pay what remains after all that has
been paid ss principal and interest.

Anent the Missing Coinage.

DETROIT, Mich, July 3.-James A.
Stone has, in his collection of war relics,
the original ordinance adopted by Confed-
crate convention in Louisiana, which evil
IDENTIFY accounts for part of the funds re-
ported unaccounted for by the New Orleans
mint. Yesterdays dispatches said the
record of the mint, which closed Jan. 81,
1861. shows that 1856, 1880 had been
coined. all of which probably went into the
enemy's hands. Louisiana seeded Jan.
16, and transferred all the federal offices to
the COnfederacy on March 4. The dOcu-
ment referred TO is an ordinance Ito trans
fer certain funds to the government of
the Confederate States of America. :"
In the first section it is ordered that $685.
267. 46 now in the hands of 4. GuiSOtt. state
depository, and known as the bullion fund,
be transferred to the Confederate govern
ment, and the said depository is ordered to
pay that sum upon the order of the secre-
tary OF the treasury of the Confederacy.
The second section orders the payment
to the secretary of the treasury of
the S147, 519.66 custom house collec-
lions since Jan. 81, 1861. The
ordinance was adopted in New Orleans
on March Z, 1861, and is signed by A. Moul-
teom, president, and l. NJ. s. Wheat, secre-
tary of the convention. 1t is atteSted by
1.-The seal of the convention of the state of
Louisiana" The bullion fund referred to is
thought to be part of the coinage. The
document was found in the archives of the
COnfederacy when the Sixth Michigan was
quartered in the mint after New Orleans
was retaken.

Notwithstanding the rain last evening.
the Catholic fair was largely attended and a
big business was done. There was con-
siderable voting, and a new quartet was
started last evening for a beautiful chain.
1t was for the most popular married lady
among the following: Mrs. ID. Boyle. Mrs.
james Lane, Mrs. Ed Donovan and Mrs. II.
Burke. The voting for the ship, st. Croix.
was closed with Alexander Deragisch the
winner. To-day the fair will keep open
during the afternoon and evening, when it
will close. In front of the rink Us d. m.
there will be series of races and amuse-
ments, with climbing creased pole. In
side there will be vocal and instrumental
music. The dollar ticket drawing will be
the last thing done, and everything on hand
will be disposed of. Everything points to
the last day being the best, and no doubt
the fair will be largely patronized.
