THINGS THAT ARC UNSEEN ARC ETERNAL.'
There li a state, unknown, unseen,
Where parted soul must be;
,' And but a step mny be between
That world of suuli and m.
The friend I loved hn hither fled, 1
With whom I sojourned her at '
I see no sight, I hear no tread;
I tee no light I hear no sound,
When midnight shades are spread
Yet angels pi tub their Uuis around,
And guard my quiet bud.
Jesus was wrapt from mortal gate.
And olouds conveyed him benoej
Enthroned amid the sapphire blase,
Beyond our feeble lensr,
Yet say not, who shall mount on high,
To bring Him from above
For lot tbe Lord 1 alwaya nigh
The children of Hi lore.
The Saviour whom I long bare louglit.
And would but oannot see;
And 1 he here? O wonderous thought!
And will He dwell with mef
I ask not with my mortal eye
To view the vision bright;
, I dare not see Tbee, lest I die j
Yet, Lord, Ten to re my light t
Give me to see Thee, and to feet
The mental vision clear t
Tbo things uneen reveal I reveal I
And lot m know them near.
I eeek not Fancy' glittering height,
That charmed my ardent youth ;
But in Thy light would ee Thy light.
And learn Thy perfect truth.
The gathering elouds of sense dispel
That wrap my seal around ;
In heavenly place make me dwell,
While treading earthly ground.
Illume this shadowy soul of mine,
That still In darkness lies,
0 let tbe light in darkness shine,
And bid tbe day-star rise !
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
