Impart th faith that oar on high, Beyond this earthly strife, That holds tweet converse with the iky, And gives Eternal Life! Mr. BoutwelTs Currency and Specie Payment Theories. Tho Secretary of tho Treasury ia not very apt svliulur, nnd slicks tren- crally to his crutia theories with great tenacity ; but there uro somo things lie it forced to learn, fjxpennco anu the logio of facta break down even bit imprauticablo and dogmnlio notions, llonce it is that we soe in his annual report, just aubmittod to Congress, views entirely different from thoao h. hold previously on the subject of the ourrency and specio payments. Mr. Iioutwell was one of the on-lo-tmecic payment believers, and held that the proper way to renib a specie basis was to contract tho currency. His opinion is chunged now. In fact, his practice lately tins been expanding the currency, and wnnls to have the power to expand it at pleasure. We aro inclined to bcliovo be has been reading tho Herald the last five or six years, at least in bis bedroom or pri vate office, if not elsowherej for on the subject of reaching snecie pay ments and leaving tho volittno of cur rency undisturbed ho has in his report expressed precisely tho Views wo have published all along. The editor of The Now York Mercantile Journal begs pardon for the intrusion here in venturing to ask : Whul paper has the Jhrald'i editor boon reading during the some period f lie has como to the conclusion that to contract the currency would bo disastrous, and that if the proscnt amount of circula tion remains as it is, the country, through increase of popululion, wealth and business, will grow up to sperie payments. lie says, emphatically, that ho bolieves "the country is not prepared to sustain tho policy of con traction." Farther on ho adds : "Tbo basis of a policy of improvement must bo found in u sturdy rcfusHl to add to the paper in circulation until it is of tho sumo vnliio substantially as coin." Yet M r. Iioutwell assumed the doubtful responsibility lutely of add ing to the circulation. As a resolu tion calling upon the Secretary for in formation na to what law authorized hint to make an increased issue of legal tender notes last October, offered by Mr. llandull, was adopted by the llouse of Heproscntali ves on Tuesday, ho will have an opportunity to explain this incongruity botwocn his theory and practice. Then, in his report he says : "This boing the settled pur- posoof tho country that is, that tlicro -1, 1 4 L. . h.m. -1 : . ..(. 1 1 1 n thore will be an opportunity for the influcnco of natural causes, lending, upon tbe whole, to better financial condition." That is, as ho goes on to show, tending to a specie basis. Wo congratulate Mr. Iioutwell on tho progress of big Ctmnciul education, while at tho samo lime we must con demn him lor his attempt to regulate the money market by increasing the pnpor circulation. Still tho Secretary wnnls to hnvo tho powor of increasing the currency or of contracting itnt will, and makos an argument in favor of suoh olitslicity , as ho culls It, He snw, probably, the necessity of such an argument fur tho purpose of justifying his action In ro issuing logal tenders aud in moddiing with the money market continually. Evidently he hits not vory olonr views on this subjoct. There, is, indeed, a confusion nud conflict of ideas on it in his repoi t. We may, however, get at tho drift of tho policy ho would estab lish. Whilo insisting upon a fixed amount of currency as the only safe guard to business and values and as noccssaiy to grow tip to specio pay ments, he has the idea of elasticity nil tho ti mo in his mind. In other words, he would havo the nulionnl bank cur rency fixed by litw, but wants the Treasury Depurtineiit ti bo invested with tho powor to increase or decrease the legal tondors, as tho Secretary nuiy doom expedient, at corlain sea sons of tho year, with a viow to laid business in tho romovnl pf the crops or in other ways. "Upon theso views," ho toys, "1 form the conclusion that the circulation of the banks should be fixed and limited, and that lha rower bo hold y tho Keci olni-y to change thej volume of paper (legal tenders) in cir culation." Truo, he says, this power should bo within limits OBtablishod by law; but he dooa not tell ua to what extent of elasticity tho currency is to bo limited in his hands. We do not think tbo business men and people of this oounlry generally would bo will ing to give Mr. Iioutwell or any pther Secretary such extraordinary power. Mr. Doutwoll assume) that the Gov ernment will rover obundon tho use of national bank notes and undertake to issue Unitod Slates notes in their place, llo considers they aro both necossary parti of our onanuial ryi- 10. . Iiinotbvr part of the report he admits, however, that both woro oxoeplionul measures, growing out of the war. and that they must bo "sub- juct lo such changes as the changing condition and opinions ot the country and people may demand ; that they will remain a part ol our publio policy until the financial consequences of tho war disappear." According to this, then, Mr. Iioutwell is not so sure that our present currency systom ought not to disappear with tho financial conse quences of the war, notwithstanding what he has said oleswhere about the system being excellent and CHtublish cd. In truth, tho Secretary hag no clear ideas, as we said before, on the subjoct, And only wants to drift along with the power to regulate lha cur rency and money mnrkot as ho may wish, liut at the bottom of all his crudo reasoning it is apparent that he, liko the Comptroller of tbo Curronoy, ig a warm advocate of tho national bunks, though it is evident ho sacs no wuy of ronohing spocio payments through these institutions, lie is con vinced of the neocssity of keeping ibo legnl lenders in circulation lor that purpose, and of making them the rep resentative of coin values. Here is what he guys on this subjoct : "Tho argument in luvorol a paper currency composed in part of United Slates notes is strengthened by I ho am which mny bo thus liiruiolied lu resuming nnd maintaining specie payments. Tho plun is, then, as far as the Secre tary understands it or has venturod to mention it, for tbo Government, when it shall be able, to pay tho de mand legal tenders in coin, and for tho rintiunul banks, w hen prepared, to red com their notes either with legal lendors or coin, as they may choose. This is tbe mixed system proponed, as wo may call it. Admitting that the Government may bo prepared some day to redeem its own Dotoa, when will tho national banks bo prepared to pay spocio or legal tondcrsf The banks are very powerful, and are not it.:ljto willingly ttttmit to 'anything that tcould reduce their profit. To hnvo in their vaults an amount of coin or legal tenders sufficient lo redeem their notes, would compol them to hold a far greater gum ol dead or un profitable capital than they ure now required to hold. The national bonks look only to their own interests, and they find these in nn irredeemable currency, with the smallest amount of loektd-up capital to represent that currency. It is difficult to see how this sccaw upon a mixed paper currency is to maintain specio pnymontM, if evon we can reach a specie basis with them. Tho sctieiao ig nil theory. Wo know of nothinc like it in practice. It might succeed, but wc havo our tears It is at most merely an txprimental system on an important and vital mnt tor. Mr. Iioutwell scorn to have got bis idea of an eluslio currency and oontrol of the Treasury Department over it from tho operation nf tho Hunk of England on tho gold and disceunt market whon it raises the rale of dis count. The action of the Hank of England, however, is another thing. It docs not regulate or stloct lh. volume of currency, except so fur ns mnking gold or money dear for a time, which checks tho outflow of specie and speculation. This is elasticity in another sonso, and has nothing to do wilh tho vol u mo of circulation gener ally. The Secretary bus a scintilla tion of light ns to tho real and great difliculty in making nnd nmintuiuing spocio payments, though he dwells little on that. Die drain of tho pre cious melnls lo pay lor tho bulance of trade atrninst us and the interest on our indebtedness abroad is that diffi culty. To rocur again to tho idea of an elastic currency, wo might ask if it ifONfcf not be better to make legal tenders convrrtnble and rcconvertMe into United States bonds at any time and to a given amount, the bonds to rnt nf Intnvwt that, pnnld pneilr be calculated, and tho interest pnid to no timo. oi conversion. lliuJNew York Merchantile Journal has steadily advocated the adoption of this plun for mnny years If currency were too' abundant, and, as a consoquonce, intorcst low, poople would luku up bonds for the higher interest on them, and if on the noxt day, or tho next week currency should bo scarce, or money tight, lo uso a Wall street cx- tircssion, people would convert their oiids in'o lcj,'iil tenders. The mar ket would regulato itself, and would leave the Secretary of tho Treasury to atlond lo his legitimate business without Interfering wilh the trade and values of the country. If wo aro to have paper money this certuinly would bo a belter way of regulating it than Mr. lloutwoH's plan of clnsl icily and balancing between two kinds of currency. Our financial systom un der the prosuiit management is in a crudo nnd abnormal condition, and tho sooner wo find uomn way to get out of it tho bolter.
