DR. S. W. BECKWITH’S
(IOJtMBRMr mo?! 0. H. BOLLES’)
ELECTRICAL I NSTITUTE,
. : 1220 WALNUT STREET,
FOE THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND
CHRONIC DISEASES.
Electric*! iaveatiiatlon. feu proved th*t the ham an
bodj note on the principle of the galvanic battery; The
brain, mnene end serous membrane®, the »k In, tisanes,
• and. fluids, - constitute the negafclre and positive forces;
and every action, whether mental or physical, !* the
result of these antagonistic forces. Digestion, respira
tion, circnlfttion, secretion* and excretion are due
‘solely to Eieetriealinflaence. There is a polar notion
established throughout the nervous system which Co
nnects with every part of the body, establishing and
preserving a proper balance of the electrical element,
which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which
causes disease. There are, strictly, but two eonditions
of disease-one of inflammation, or positive's the other
weak, debilitated, negatives and as Electricity contains
these two conditions actlon of the positive and
negative currents,' all we' have to do is to neutralize the.
disease and restore proper healthy action.* • :
We do rot wish to convey tho impression that we cure
sll dlseasealn all conditions. We cannot cnie consump
tion after the lungs are all destroyed: yet wt do assert,
and are prepared to tactically demonstrate, that hon
dreds of c&ess of'almost every form of chronic disease,
pronounced incurable by the best medical practitioners
of (the country, have been radically curbd, some, of
them in an incredibly short time; by our Electrical
treatment. Its'great superiority over other practices in
the cure of disease is .also atteetedin the fact that, within
the past five years, over fourteen thousand patients
have been treated at this office, suffering from almost
every form, and condition of disease' common to hu
manity, and in nearly all cates a bem ft tor perfect cure
has been effected. Therefore, with these FACTS to
prove our theory and treatment of disease, we ars will
ing to undertake any of the following diseases, with
every hope and prospect of success, with very many
other* not here enumerated:
1. Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System —Epi
lepsy, Chorea or St, Vitus*Dance, Paralysis (Hemiple
gia and Paraplegia), Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Lock-jaw, etc., etc. $ also,
. diseases of the Bye and Ear.
2. Organs and Tissues connected with the Digestive
System. —Sore Throat, Dy*pepsia, DiarrhcsA, Dysen
tery, Obstinate Constipation, Hemorrhoids or-Files,
Bilious, Flatulent, and Painter’s Colic, and all affec
tions of the Liver and Spleen.
3. Re&piratory Orffans.—G&isrth, Cough, Influenza,
Asthma (when hot caused by organic disease of the
heart), Bronchitis. Pleurisy, Pleurodynia 'or Bheuma-
. tism of the Chest, Consumption in the early stages.
4. Fibrous and Muscular System. Kh«umati*m,
Gout, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal Curvature, Hip
Disease, Cancers, Tumors.
. 5. Urinary and Genital Organs. —Gravel, Diabetes,
and Kidney Complaints, Impotence and Seminal Weak
ness. The latter complaints never fail to yield rapidly
to this treatment;
S 6. Diseases Peculiar to Females. —Uterine Com
plaints, involving a mal-position, as Prolapsus, Ante
version, Betxovaraion Inflammation, Ulceration,-and
various other affections of tee Womb and Oraris*, Pain
ful, Suppressed, Scanty, or Profuse Menstruation, Lea
corrtcea. ■ .
TO LADIES can we recommend this treatment stone
of UNTAMED SUCCESS. Almost innumerable cases
bavo come under treatment at pur office who can testify
to this fact. Mrs. 8. A FULTON, a lady of great expe
rience and ability* has entire charge ofthe Ladies'. Da
partjuent, and all delicacy wUI be used toward those
who entrusfthemi elves to her care. In female diseases
as mentioned in the above list, with others not men
tioned, she hashed a large experience, and can coafU
dently promise the most gratifying results.
TO THE y AFFLICTED.
The treatment is mild and gentle, producing no shock
or unpleasant sensation whatever. Our professional
intercourse with the afflicted will ever be characterized
by perfect candor and honesty* and those whose.com
plaints are incurable, or do not admit of amelioration,.
will be frankly told so, and not accepted for treatment.
It matters not what may be yohr complaint, or how
long you have suffered, or.hownauch or what course
of treatment you may have been subjected to, or what
disappointments you have experienced; if the system is
not worn put—if sufficient vitality remains for reaction—
there Is a fair prospect of recovery.

FRIDAY, APRILS, 1865.
The Next. Fine Arts Exhibition.
Whoever passes by our Academy of the
Fine Arts, in Chestnut street, may per
ceive, by a notice affixed to the
that is closed until the 24th of this mouth.
As we have a wholesome hofror of having
a secret in which bur million readers : do
not participate, we may, state (ip strictest
confidence) that the Academy has thus.,
been closed because the Committee on 'Ex
hibition are preparing for the Forty-second
Exhibition, which .will be opened on the
said 24th of this month, and will close on
the-8d of June. The committee are: John
Sartain, the eminent engraver, chairman;
four directors— Jambs R. Lamdin, Fbank
lin Pbale, A. Mav Stevenson, and J. L.
Glaghobn ; and four Acadfemicians— Jas.
Hamilton, George F. Bbnskll, T. Mo
han, and' O: Schussele. We do not know
whothe;“hanging committee” maybei
but Friday, April 21, will be varnishing
flay- ...... ■ • j '
Mr. RbTHEBMitL, who certainly is our
Philadelphia Titian, in coloring, Will ex
hibit one grand picture, we' believe, and
possibly some smaller ones. .Jambs Hamil--
ton, who has the imagination of Tubneb
and the realism of Clarkson Stanfield,
has sent in some of his Niggara 'views, of
which the public have heard much, but as
yet seen nothing, and also one of his best,
as well as most solidly-painted coast views,
“ Sunrise on the Water,” belonging to
William B. Bullock, Esq. There will
also be a “ Magdalen,” by S. B. Waugh j
a large picture of “ Lake Geofge,” by
W. D. Lewis ; an autumn view, entitled
i* Soltude;"'by Thomas Moran ; “ Coast
Scenes,” by Edward Moran ; and “ Oati
tie,” by Peter Moran. “Lights and
Shades in the South Mountains,” by F:
f>B B. Richards, who is author as well ad
artist, is a view, ineariy autumn, of somd
picturesque ./sceneiy between Chambers-;
burg and Gettysburg,, {tainted with great
care and marked ability. C ; F. Blauvelt,’
sin able'artist',’ will exhibit 1 several''genre;
pictures ; George Wood, Jr , will have'
several Studies from Nature ; and Mr.-
Fenimore, also a young and promising;
artist, has several landscapes. ' Mr. W. H.;
WilSon also sends in some good landscapes.
The Smiths, as usual, will come out in !
force. Russell Smith, ■ with “ Ossipee,
Lake Xanthus Smith, with “ Blockade-
Scenes,” and we shall have, some of’
Mart Smith’s familiar and highly-prized
.“Chicks." , - ■
Among European pictures to be exhibited;
are several of peat merit belonging to;
Messrs. James Earle & Son, and our ex-<
cellent old friend, Sir George Havtbb,;
“ Court Painter in Ordinary,” whose pic-1
ture of the Passing of the Reform. Bill is
so national that the British Parliament pur
chased it, contributes to our exhibition
“Bishop Larimer Preaching,” which con
tains'over one hundred figures.
Of the Sculpture in our coming exhibi
tion we have heard little, but understand
that Mr. Bailbv, Mr. Howard Roberts,
and Miss Ida Waugh severally contribute.
We do not claim, in the present notice, to
do more'tlian make mere mention of what
Some of our artists have done for our ap
proaching Exhibition. It promises to be
the best for many years, and, When open
to the public, we shall feel pleasure in
drawing attention, with as much discrimi
nation as we can exercise, to its varied and
attractive merits.
“.Flinch”' and its Artists.
There waß. a time when, the wit and pen
cillings of Punch, made it an important?
publication, not only’ in Europe but'fa’
America—when Louis Phiuppe used to !
seize every copy that entered Paris through
the post office, though the obnoxious num
ber was certain to be found oh the table of ;
Galignani's reading-room, - then in the
Rue Vivienne—when, a little later, Louis
Napoleon, who disliked being caricatured,
also forbade its entrance into Prance—
when the late Czar published an ukase
against it, because its artists drew him,
about the time of the Crimean war, as a
Russian bear seeking to devour a feeble
leoking Turkey—when it seemed to have
wit at will, whether expressed by pen or
pencil—when, in short, it had great popu
larity, large circulation, and immense in
fluence. The 'retirement of Albert
»vo corps-of- >. was
a heavy blow, and its literary merit
has been, subsequently reduced by the
successive deaths of Douglas Jeb
bolb, Gilbert a-Becket, and -%. M.
Thackebay. But the first serious blow it
received was when Bichabb Doyle, the
artist, becoming angry at its assaults upon
Cardinal Wiseman and the new Catholic'
hierarchy established in England in 1850,
walked out of the office of Punch with his
portfolioand pencils under his arm, shook
the dust from off his shoes, and registered
a vow, which he has faithfully kept, that
■nothing should ever induce him to draw
another line for a publication which had
ridiculed his religion, satirized its minis
'Yers, and caricatured its Prince-Cardinal, —
the • veryJJr. Wiseman who lately died,
lamented. even by those whose religious
faith differed from his own.
The. place of Doyle, (whose father, by
the way, was the once celebrated carica
turist, H. B.)-. was taken, but scarcely'
filled, by John Tenniel, who has supplied
the greater number of Punch's cartoons
from November, 1850, to the present time,
Doyle was highly poetical in his treat- ;
ment of very ordinary subjects, but where •
he was imaginative in the idea and grace- ■
ful in I handling it, Tbnniel' is merely
literal, besides being sometimes hard.
From a very early period in the life of
Punch, some of its most successful en
gravings were from designs ; supplied by
•the late John Leech, an artist whose
assistance- had latterly become so neces
sary to the publication, that, for the last
five years, he was paid about $15,000 per -
annum for contributing-two or three de
signs weekly. AH who have read Punch
must recollect the amusing social illus-.
trations which made it so attractive. It
needed not the little monogram of a
leech wriggling‘in a pudgy bottle to. tell
who their artist was. His death, a. few
months ago, was a great loss to Punch , and
it will be difficult, we might say utterly
impossible, to fill his place., We may be
told, in the familiar words of the old pro
verb, that '* Tllere is as good fish in the sea
as ever was caught,” but this is not always
so. Men like HogAbth and Gilbay,
Ceuikbhank and H. 8., Doyle and Leech,
are so rare as to be exceptional,. Of
Punch has looked about to find a suitable
man. He has got three as an equivalent'for
the great one whom he has lost. These are
Mr- Geoege Du Maubieb, who has occa
sionally supplied neat illustrations to Once
a Week ; Mr. Paul Gbay, who has a pretty
knack of drawing pretty girls, and Mr. 0.
H. Bennett, who has more ability than
the other two. Du Maubieb has scarcely
'any idea of fun, and Gbay is also ex
tremely literal, but' if an idea is given
them they can passably put it into pic
torial form. On the other band, Mr. Ben
nett has fancy as well as fun among
his; stock in trade. In the four latest
numbers of Punch that we have seen, he
shows this. The initial vignettes to
“ Punch's Essence of Parliament”-are
his, and very good—indeed,, the half-page
cut on February 18th, prefacing the open
ing of -the Session, with portraits of poli
ticians on thfe minutest scale, is admira
ble. ' In the following week, Gladstone

It Is worthy of note that the old disputes relating
to the Eourooß of the Nile seem to be revived among
geograpMo societies, and that'the discoveries of
Captain Spake are set at nought by Borne persons,
or are rather " considered as lnoomplete If not Inde
finite. The origin of very mnohof this doubt may
be traced to the influence Of Captain Burton, who
strenuously Insists that there is ,no satisfactory rea
son for regarding Speke’s discoveries as conclusive.
On the contrary* Barton believes that there may be
another river, undiscovered as yet, oomtog in irom
the southwest, which is the tone Nile. This discus
glon haa become sonxewlufct onesided, owing to tue
lamented death of Speke. It is proper, therefore,
to- state the history of the difference of opinion, In .
order that those who read the, books and artleles
now appearing from time to time on the subject
may be able to form at least lmparilaropinlons.
paptain Burton is one of the most dlstlngushed
travellers of modem times. He has laid the lovers
of geographical knowledge, as well as tne general
reader and student of ethnology,’ under very great
obligations. His Indomitable perseverance, his
energy and determination, have enabled him to
conquer difficulties'in his.various explorations'from
which stout hearts might have shrunk without
shame. No one. who has read will ever forget his
remarkable journey to Mecoa, in .disguise as a
Mohammedan dervißh, and the perilous but sue*
cecsful.,incidents which enabled him to Burmonnt
the barriers before existing to a knowledge or the,
secrets of the Moslem holy plaoes. At a later period
-he undertook to penetrate the African peninsula,from
the Zanzibar coast, and reached the great Tangan
vlha Lake which lies between parallels 3 and 8 sonth
latitude- He .was accompanied on this journey by
Captain Speke, aud it would seem from Burton’s
own account (The Lake Regions of Central Africa)
that the two were not always pleasant travelling
companions. In point of. fact they had a serlons
falling out, and this seems to nave been brought
about, or brought to a crisis, by tbe' following cir
cumstances : On the return journey to the ooast
Burton was delayed by sickness at a point about
33 degree east longitude. Speke, with Burton’s con
sent, devoted the time to an exploration duo north,
and at a distance of two or threehundred miles came
upon the southern extremity of the great-lake Vic
toria Nyanza. He made all the Investigations then
possible, and became Convinced that this lake was
tbe true source of theNlle. Burton' was not of that
opinion. Speke communloated Ms discovery to Black
waod’sMagazine. Burton, In bis published book, ridi
culed Speke’s Ideas In a style and language by no
means to be commended, and thus cbmmitfedhimself
against the theory. But Speke’svlewsattraoted at
tention, and he was despatehed on another journey
with Grant. Tbe results of It are before the world.
He went to the Yictoria Nyanza over Ms old track,
f:!l6wod its' wresteffl i!»ore. down to the outlet, dis
covered a broad strong stream pouring out over falls
and rapids, and this stream he followed to the sea,
proving It to be unquestionably a souree If not the
principal source of the Nile. But he was com
pelled to leave the bank or the stream at some
points. Here tbe "question opens whether by so
leaving thfc bank he missed the dlsoovery of another
river coming In from Tanganyika or some other
lake; and if so, whether'that river is larger or
smaller than the stream coming over Blpon
Falls from the Victoria Lake. Bnrton is
sternly of .opinion that the .undiscovered river Is
the tine Nile. There are many reasons leading to
the belief that sueh a river will be found, but there
are few reasons for supposing that it will prove as
large or important as Speke’s river. It is highly
probable that a large amount of country lying to tho
westward of Victoria Nyanza Is drained Into the
Nile, and that the annual flood is assisted by this
drainage., Bnt if Speke and Grant are to be
believed, and assuredly there Is no reason tcv donbt
either bl them, the size of the river whlolf they
discovered at Its source is too great to admit of any
possibility -that the undiscovered river_should be
larger or as large. Nor Is it to the oredlt of those
who undertake to dispute Speke’s conclusions that
they attempt to belittle the Importance of this river
by quoting some of general deaoriptive^re
depth,Vnd speed of current. It strikes us that some
of the English geographers are in the habit of esti
mating at too high a quantity tbe flow of water in
the Nile at k low stage. The river is full of bars,
is shallow except in Its very orookad channel, whleh
changes from year,to year. Comparing Speke’s ac
count of Bipon Falls and the water flowing over
them, with our own knowledge, from observation, of
the amount .of water oomlcg down the second cata
ract at Abou Selr, we are oonvlneed that the Vic
toria Nyanza ,<must supply nearly if not fully one
half ofthat amount, The Blue Nile, and the undis
covered river, with some less important streams

An Important letter from Secretary
OlcCnUocta.
HIS VIEWS llr KBOAHD To iM HABIT KBTtrEN TO
SL BFBOIB BASIS.
Mr. McCnllooh, In answer to a communication
fromH. O. Carey, Esq., of this city (whose letter
wo are unable to give on account or this press or
matter)' writes, trader date of April 4, a long letter,
giving his views of financial policy, and explaining'
lit detail the. meaning he wlshed .to be attached to
the following sentence In the address he recently
made to the officers of his Department : ‘
» My chief aim wM, of course, be’ to provide the
means to discharge the claims upon the Treasury
Department 'at the earliest day practicable, and to
Institute measures to bring tho business of the coun
try gradually back to' the specie standard. - a depar
ture from which (although for the time being a ne
cessity) is no less damaging and demoralising to
the people than expensive to the Government.”
Mr. McCulloch says thirls the only avowal of
policy which he had made or .expects to make, at
least for the present. He then proceeds:
ThefOrmef’of those objects la receiving my first
attention. -The ealesbfthey WO notes (thanwhlch
no more desirable security will be offered to the
public), whioh’have been temporarily diminished
by theW all-street panic, will, I. im-hopeful, be
soon again so Increased as to put the Treasury in a
condition to meet all suspended requisitions, and
;honor all drafts that may be made upon It; so that
the different departments, by being in a condition
promptly to meet their'engagements, may be ena
bled to reduce largely the expenses of the Govern
ment. - •
The latter object seems to be In the right train for
accomplishment by the,effective. bio ws of our mili
tary and naval "forces without any interposition of
the Treasury Department, and In the face of a dally
inorease of currency,,through the instrumentality of
the National banks.
You teem to he hppldhenslve that the return to
Bpecle payments is to be.efiTeoted by a convraotlon of
Government issued; and you say that “In one thing
all have been disposed to unite, and that wds that
an early resumption was the cardinal point of my
policy-, and that it was to be sought at whatsoever
cost, to the capitalists and workiag men of the
country,” , . • ... .. .
A- reeumption of specie payments Is with me a
“cardinal point,’’. because.- 1 believe that the specie
basis Is the only safe and healthy one for business;
and because l am 'clearly of the opinion that the In
.terests of capitalists and ..working gien will be pro
moted by a return to It 5 but no policy Could bo more
unwise than that which'should attempt to accom
plish it by.such a curtailment of the ounrenoy as
would prostrate or Injuriously affect those great In-'
terestß upon the prosperity of which the Govern
ment depends for its revenue,.and whloh- cannot bo
broken down or severely depressed without do
prl-cing labor of its proper reward.
.The history of Wall, street within the last ten days
•sustains the correctness Of the opinion whloh In'
another, position I have ' frequently expressed, that
the high price of gold, was to be.attribnted In part,
' at least, to other influences than 1 the expansion' of
the currency; and seems to Indicate that the paper
circulation of the oonntry which has been Issued or
f ecured by the Government, even while its volume
s being Increased, may appreciate nearly .to the
specie standard.
AS the war draws to'a close,' and' the restoration
of the Unlon ls no longer doubtful, gold and cur
rency approximate, rapidly, to eaoh other In .their
market value, and, of course, all those articles
which were made.to follow the former in Its ascent
must aympathlze-wlth it to Its decline. This cannot
be prevented by any action of the Treasury, even If
the Interests, of the country required It. It might
have been better for the country and the people that
the decline of coin should hove been more gradual
than has been the case lor the week or two past, but
It is better that It should have come dawn as it haß,
.than that it should not have declined at all.
It is understood, I believe, among those whose
habits of-personal Indulgence lead theui Into pro
tracted excesses, that “sobering off” rapldlylaa
dangerous experiment; but dangerous as It may be,
It Is preferable to continued intoxication.
- - It does not follow, however, that because gold has
declined from 185 to 146, and may speedily decline
'Still further, prices generally will fell to the same
'extent ; nor do I-believe that any permanent de
cline whloh Is likely to eocur will -prostrate tho
-great Interests of the oountry.- On the contrary, 1 !
am of the opinion that when the-specle standard Is
-.restored, or nearly reached, the assurance which
- tl;ls state of things will create—that the business of
.the country is to bo transacted on a firmer basis
will divert capital from speculation, and stimulate,.
Instead of prostrate, productive industry.
The dose, of the war will removethe Government,
in a good degree, from the market, both; as a'■bor
rower and a purchaser; and while the business .of the.
oonntry Is being accommodated to the new order of
things, there wul be, to a considerable extent, stag
nation and. embarrassment; bnt as hostilities are
now likely to terminate before speculation has re
sulted in large Individual Indebtedness, the transi
tion is likely to be effected without the disasters
which so many have apprehended.
The liabilities of the people are so small, the olr
. dilating medium Is so ample and so well seaured,
the resources of the nation are so vast, and onr
political future Is so brilliant, that toe embarrass
ments which a change in the business of the country
must: bring about will be but temporary, and the
indications are now decided that, by the time recon
struction Is feiriy commenced, enterprise will be
quickened Into new lire ; and with its integrity
established, the only drawback open the national
prosperity and toe only stain upon the national
escutcheon removed, the great Repnbllo will move
forward egaln upon its career or prosperity and
honor, scarcely staggered by snob a struggle with a
gigantic rebellion sb would have broken any other
natton Into fragments.
Youfwill perceive, by the statement of the condi
tion o! the treasury on the first Instant, that toe Go
vernment circulation has not been diminished.
'Whether, or to what extent, this eironlation will
be reduced 'depends upon circumstances thatoan
notnow be olearly foreseen. I have Veen, and still
am of the opinion, that it mnst be curtailed before a
return to specie payments can be effected; but it
cannot be denied tbat toe course of the market for
the past month has been such as to justify a recon
sideration of the opinions which have been so gene
ral entertained In regard to too Inflation of the
' ourrenoy: The Increased demand tor. money, whloh
Is the result of the diminution of individual
credits, .may not have been fully estimated; and It
may turn out that no considerable reduction of
. paper circulation will be needed for the restoration
of toe specie basis. At all events, toe Government
will have no Interest In retiring its dlreot Issues, If
the desired ebjeet can be obtained within a reason
able tone wlthout.lt. ‘
That any valuable Interests are to be permanent
ly Injured by a return to specie payments Is hardly
oredlble, ana I cannot but think that yonr apprehen
sions or disaster to toe manufacturing interests of
Pennsylvania, as the result of It; are without rea
sonable foundation.
The general tariff policy Is, I apprehend, settled
by our national debt. The dlsouaalon of It, there
fore, at toe present time’ la unnecessary. That the
Ssnt tariff needs revision Is undoubtedly true.
revision It . will receive by toe commission
which Is to be appointed to revise the revenue
laws, from whose labors I anticipate the best re
sults, The necessities of the Government will give
to our manufacturing Interests all the protection
they will require to shield them from destructive
foreign competition; and' before toe elose of the
present Administration I confidently expect to see
these interests there prosperous than they ever'have
been. What recommendations I shall make to Con
gress upon the tariff question I am not now pre
pared to say. I expect to be able to endorse the
bill that shall be prepared by the commission, and
shall be disappointed If this bill does not har
monize onr lorelgn and Internal dntles, and pro
duce a revenue which shall be sufficient to meet
the interest on the public debt, and gradually rc
• duee the principal, without being oppressive to toe
people. -
In conclusion, permit me to say that I see no
cause for discouragement In the present or prospec
tive condition of the country. Our national debt Is
large, bnt onr national resonroes are sufficient to
carry It without embarrassment. While It would
be foolish to Call It a national blessing, It May bo so
managed as not to be a.natlonal calamity; and in
' tbe worst view that oan be taken of It, It is a small
matter In comparison with the inestimable value of
tbe Union, in the maintenance of which it has been
created*

Dbbbsihs Ladieb’ Hair,—ThoParis oorrespand
-Ont of the London Morning Post thus discourses on
this Important subject: “I have consulted a great
Parisian -hairdresser of the sublime school, who
says that this winter he has often commenced work
at IP.M.,'so that the lady must remain some ten
hours in full toilet, with herhatr pinned, bound,
stretched, flowered, jewelled—painfqlly uncomforta

he deolares that you may wear your hair in any &n
-tastio fashion. Some ladles at court have adopted
the classical Grecian style; the hair dragged off the
face, and abunehbf clustering ringlets at the back
of the head. Others have gone in for a series of
small curls all over the forehead, and little Imperti
nent twisting looks round about the ears—baby
ourls, just beginning life—whilst the mass of hair Is
fathered up on the top of the head, and there stud
edwlth flowers, or butterflies, or even gaudy In

and disposer pf the human nair, ‘.what has become
of tbe hair In nets, which made but yesterday such
a sensation on the male youth V The indignation
of the French artiste about these bosses was some
thing painfully serious. ‘lt was an ugly English

[Tie following oommunloatlott Is'iqson a subject
of national Importance, and we therefbregflve'lt a
place In onr oolumns, without, however, araumlng
the correctness of the policy which the writer thinks
ought to be pursued.]
To the Editor of Tiie Pmss :
Sib : In, ah article on the national financer,pub
lished by you about-July 14th, 1884,1 predicted the
present monetary condition of the oountry. Ittwre
stated, In substance, that If the volume of currency
remained nearly stationary while the Industrial In
teicsts of the oountry continually Increased, then
the money value of those Interests would decline.
If tie amount of currency be Seven hundred m*-
lions, and the industrial interests of the country
cost only that much, then the original cost of such
Interests, being fully represented by the currency,
can suffer no decline; ;but if to those interests seven
hundred more be added, while the volume
of currency remains unaltered, then the original
ccstofall the industrial interests caanot.be more
than half represented by the currency, and a gene
ral decline In all values must follow- ’
The recent fall In gold to iso is not responsible for
the fall which has taken 1 place In’everything else;
because-In 1864, when gold was at nearly the same
price, the valneof property was far greater and In
seme Instances ohts hundred tier cent: dtore than
now; but since then, wjth; only a comparatively
small increase In the’volume of currency, that cor- -
rendy has Been called upon to represent six hundred
millions more of national bonds.; also new Indus
trial pursuits,' without number, one of which (petro
leum) alond'lays claim to several-hundred millions.
Now,.as the, va]ne of gold is represented by the cur
rency In the same manner as are stoats and ather
property,., it ,we&. natural gold should not be an ex
ception amid the, universal fall. Should there be an
increase,} dCmasd'fbrgbld'or any other commodity,
then, the price of euchwill.advunce, butthe prices or
all other things, witff very few exceptions, will re
main,as before,ortf shy change ooour it’will be to
lower figures, because the increased demand for
gold-or other property will divert that much more
of currency from the other Interests of the country
which look to itlor support.
Tallies do not decline Immediately oh the crea
tion cl every neiv interest, because a natural desire
to preserve the original cost Induoes a greater de
mand for-tbe currency, which then makes up for de
ficiency In volume by rapidity of circulation—a Jfiol*
far circulating thrice in a day being equal to thiee
(S) which circulate once in the same period. But It
Is evident the hourly million conflicting financial re
qnfmnentsnf a busy community cannot always be
sp. nicely adjusted ns to permit an unobstructed
qnick circulation, and the faster a ennapey must
circulate to sustain original values the more liable
is It to be seriously affeoted.by slight circumstances,
and then, when the fall does happen, it will be great
In proportion to thsUme.it has been deferred.
As predicted in therartlele already referred toy we
ate new approaching a condition wherein money Is
dear, because of an Increased:demand,, wherein
living Is high because of the taxes which always
fall on the consumer, and wherein the value ofjpro
perty diminishes because the volume of currency
is n6t sufficient to represent the original cost.
Jf we are good for a National Debt of a thousand
or two thousand millions, on which, in semen or eight
years, we must pay an interest equal to the entire debt,'
and still owe the debt, we certainly ought to begood for,
the same amount on which we need pay no interest
.whatever. The first form'of debt "18 represented by
bonds, tie second by currency.
A redundant currency, whether gold Or-paper,
always inflates prices -at the outset; but an enter
prising people like ourselves, with enormous natu
ral resources at-command, soon oreate sufficient:
industrial pursuits to absorb, the surplus,' and then
the prices of everything, including living, return to
their former level. The Issue or bonds, however,
produces a widely different result; by making the
currency represent them they lower-the value of
property generally, and by the taxes Imposed to ob
tain the necessary Interest,to .say nothing of other
Government expenses, they add continually to the
cost of living; lor: every tax on any industry, what
ever muse be paid by those who consume the pro
duct of that Industry.
We want more currency and fewer bonds.

Acting Gommisßiomer Bolllns, of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, has made the following decision in reference to
the tax on brokers'sales of gold:
Tbeasury'D bp abtkent*
Office of Iktebkaa Seveeue*
Wabhix(jtqet, April 1,1865,
8m; Tour letter of March 31, in regard to tax on bro
kers 1 sales of gold, is received.
I reply that the law, as amended by the act of March
S< 1861, imposes a tax of one-tenth of one per centum
• on the amount ol all sales or coatr&ote for sales of soil
and silver bullion and *oin by brokers, and this tax is
he?d to be due whether such sales of brokers are made
on ifceir own account or for ether persons. This tax
must be assessed upon the amount of sales, estimated
in Government currency, and not upon the nominal
value of the coin. Very respectfully, _
: £, a. BOLL IBS,'
. Deputy Commissioner.
It is Tusderstood that the Secretary of the Treasury has
.deeded uponselling forth with the cotton captured at
Savannah. Thesalee will he made for gold; that coarse
being considered necessary' from the contingency that„
some part of the cotton may-he found'to belong to
foreign claimants, who would require payment in spe
cie. The lot will not he sold at one offering, as gene*
rally expected, but in a series, of lots, at different
periods. i
The probable effect of peace on the- business of the
country Is pretty freely discussed in trade circles. The
general impression is that a larger, healthier, and
jnoie remunerative trade will take plaec after there*
opening of the cotton ports and resumption of business
with the South, than under the>pre*est state of affairs.
There will doubtless be a decided improvement in the
consumption of imported andlhomemade goods. The
higher prices established when gold commanded the
largest premiums induced a general practice ,of econo
my, either voluntary or enforced, and checked both
domestic production and foreign Importations, many
families buying sparingly or merely to meet their im
mediate and absolute wants. Reduced prices will na<
totally lead to a more liberal consumption, as the
volume of the currency is the same, and not likely to be
influenced by any continued contraction or inflation.
Peace will be calculated to give a fieah impetus gg.
manufactures, commerce, agriculture, and the me
chanics arts, besides increasing the amount of traffic on
railways and canals. Tie shipping interest also will
-be likely to revive, when assured against the depreda
tions of privateers upon the high seas.
