OUR FINANCES.
A Subject of the Greatest Importance to
the American People.

As we turn from review Of our foreign rela-
tions to the contemplation of our national
financial situation we are Immediately aware
that wo approach subject of domestic con-
Germ, more important than any other that can
engage our attention, and one at present in
such perplexing and delicate predcament as
to require prompt and wise treatment.
We may well be encouraged to oarno st effort
in this direction when we recall the steps
already taken toward improving our economic
and financial situation, and whento appreciate
how well tho way has been prepared for further
progress by an aroused aud intelligent popular
interest in these subjects. BY command of the
people, a customs revenue system, designed for
the protection and benefit OF favored classes at
the expen.e of the great majority of our coun-
trymen and which, viii Inefficient for the pur-
pose of revenue, curtail,d oar trade relations
and impeded our cntr ln,e to the markets Of
the world, has been Superseded by a
tariff policy watch, in principle is
based upon denial Of the right
of the government to o5stru t the avenues OF
our peoples cheap living or lessen their com
fort and contentment, TO the sake of accor ling
special advantages to favorites, and which,
while encouraging our intercourse and trade
with other nations, re ognizo the fact that
American selfrcliance, thrift and enEenuity,
can build up our country's indu tries and de-
velop its resources more surely than enervating
paternalism. The compulsory purehas, and
coinage of silver b. the government unchecked
and unregulated By busiress conditions and
needless of our currency needs, which for moro
than fifteen years dilute our circulating med
ium, undermined conf den'e alb DAD in our finan
liability and at last culminated in distress and
panic at home has been recently stopped by tho
repeal Of the laws which forced this reckless
scheme upon the country. The things thus ac-
complishei Notwithstanding thci' eztreme inn
portance and tenefcient effects, fell far short
Of curing the monetary evils from which VIC suf-
fer as a result Of long indulgence in i'll advised
financial expedients. The currency denom-
mated United States notes and commonly
known as green-baoks was issued in large vol
umes during the late civil war AMI intended
originally to meet tho eIRerEenc es Of that
period. 1t will be seen by a reference to the
debates in congress at tho tmo laws vera
passed authorizing the issue of these notes
that their advocates declared they were in
tended for only tempora use AMI to meet the
emergency Of war. In almost, if not all, tho
laws relating 70 them, some provision was
made contemplating their voluntary or COM
