. The currency of a high y commei
cial, expanding, ,industrio .13 and pro
ductive and free people,' ; by which
their values are measured and ex-'
changed, - should be unifOrm, sound,
cheap, stable and elaetic.l
Unifortnity is that Auality which
gives the same value in every part
thereof to the money' ofa country.
This quality our presen currency
1
possesses in a sufficient degree s of,
perfection. - . 1
Soundness may beidefihed as cer
tainty that thecurrenpy i ' so secured
that it can never fail Of e changabil
ity for equal intrinsioril es. '
i
No American 'pertnits ,I himself to
doubt but that our legal tenders and
national bank notes, 'seethed by *the
pledge of public faith, guaranteed
by all the resources !and power 'of
the country r are to be: made good to
the extent of:rvalue printed on their
lace. Our present cprrency, there=
fore, possesses the qualitY ot sound-,
nese (or all purl:totes of internal bold
ness and trade.
As to cheapness; I al l fin' social
writers agree that a papei currency.
is the cheapest of all passible ME
diums'of ;circulation i whether as re
gards the cost of its ' supply or of its
wear and. tear, or becanee of being
non-producing' capital bile circu l
!sting from hand. to Tan i. If gold
and silver were used iin its stead, or
locked up as a basis for its redemp
tion, they would be so much idle and
dead capital tiding daty 0 currency
only,, and the nation so using it would
suffer the loss of InterestOn so much
wasted capital. It hi apparent that'
paper being bee the sign pr token of
value yields no lose of 'interest on
itself as capital while utted as cur
rency.
- While, therefore, in thele particu
lars, our present currency is cheap
enough, yet there is another sense
in which it is very !dear; That is,
the enormous rate of interest de
mended for it. ,
Stability of currency shay be de
fined as a qiiality of - currency when
used as a standard andpleasure of
value which renders it unehaugeable
,st all times as compared with itself.
A measure of value should no more
,
change than should themeasures o I
length,, quantity or weight. It ghoul.
be at all times one; and the same
When all the property of A people:i -
on'ce adjusted to such a measure ;o
value it is of comparatively - Hifi:
_moment what that measure may be.
The term! elasticity, as applied
currency, I will der* as :Abe power
of contracting or expanding its vol.
woe, according to some khown rule
to meet the • necessities of its use i
business, arising Irian its activity
its sluggishness, or from the need=
ofincreased population. ! ' •
At first thought this quality migb
seem opposed to the definition o
stability which we hive just given,
but careful consideration; will aho •
that it is not so, as elastiCity, as an
attribute of currency, shohld pertain
to,it, sot as a measure 4f value, but
as a representative of active capital.
Stability is the fixedness of the
volume of the.curreUcy ati compared
with property measured by it. Elsa.
ticity increases or lessens the vol•
ume determined by the (necessities
for its use. Elasticity is by no means
synonymous with fluctuation, the lat
ter being the increase or 'diminution
of value of the currenqy ilt one time
as compared with Another ; the for.
mer is the change of veltime only as
compared with itself: . . ~- 1

back, and that is, the government
would have to procure gold to meet
its interest and pay,the difference be
tween the gold. and the certificate:
But let us here reflect a moment that
the gold now paid for customs duty
is obtained by the merchant borrow
ing upon the government'e note at
thirty-five per cent. premium, and it
is very clear that the 'difference be
tween-the proposed certificate of val
ue or greenback and gold would in
the futute be much less.
It may be further objected that,
making these certificates receivable
for duties insomuch as they may be
below the par of gold would to that
extent reduce the per centage of the
tariff. This, if an evil, would soon
cure itself. Any considerable in
crease of importation by calling for
more currency to pay- the duties
would enhance the price of that cur
rency, and therefore. bring it quite
up to gold. Besides, as the act is to
Fo into operation at a future day, if
it were supposed there would be any
appreciable difference between •the
value of the certificate and geld,
then importations would be held up
.until that time, when the sudden in
flux would materially enhance the
value of the curreecy to pay duties:
My next pitiposition is to take from
the national banks all power to issue
notes to circulate as money, leaving
them as they are now, banks of de
posit, loans and discounts, but 'not of
issue—of course to be relieved from
all taxes on circulation. It is evi
dent that the $350,000,000 of "certi
ficates of value," above proposed,
circulating as money would not be
a sufficient amount of currency 'for
the business purposes of the country.
Therefore I propose to throw open
the presepleprivilege which the banks
have of obtaining money from the
government to every man or associa
tion of men who can furnish precise
ly the same security. that tire banks
now do for the money so received
from the government.
This would secure elasticity of the
currency, . or adaptability ofthe
amount in circulation to the wants
of the country, - • since the 0.385 pee
cent. charged by government on the
certificates issued could only be af
forded when money was in sufficient
demand to pay considerable higher
rate than this. .

A. complete interchange of matter
has been many times made between
the interior: sod surfabe or the globe.
Earthly substance, taken from arctic
regions by Oceanic currents, has con
tinually raised a belt of laud on eith•
er side of the equator. This deposit,
being : always in excess of what is
needed to preserve the formal equi
librium of the plastic globe, will con
stantly depress the equatorial belt,
and thrust out, the arctic regions as
they are abraded. By this process,
in certain regions of deep sea is pro
duced a revolution of matter down
ward and outward' from the equator
toward each of the poles. But the
niovement, working from age to age
over successive meridians, must be
subject to large inequalities.

There must have been a time with
out liquidity and without the present
atmospheric pressure. There was a
time when vegetation on the. vast
scale of the tropics, as we' now ob
serve it, was not so active in its
work: The appearance of. an .excess
of Vegetation marks the close of the
larger systems of stratification ; but
~the rules ,of ,deduction indicated lead
us to conclude, that, during the more
recent ages,----be it the last million o
years,—organie- life has been more
activelhan at . any previous epoch.
All the natural movements have be
come more active ; because the mass
and force of the earth, together wfth
its temperature, have been augment
ed;
aad it'wilt not be denied by physi
ologists that these causes will have re
fined and intensified the products (y•
vitality. The fulcrum of transition
from the grosser to the more concen
trated forms of life exists in fact,and
may be Tound in the method of form . .
etion of the earth itself.
The earth is progressing by ex
cessively Blow changes toward the
solar and nebulous , condition. Its .
history is a repetition of the solar,
and a time must arrive when the stir- .
face, Secoming incandescent, will be
obscured only by casual dark pits in
a brilliant atmosphere, a souvenir of ,
the present darkness of the crust ;
yet during a certain period, within
fixed limits of gravitating force and
heat of mass, the human race may
continue to exist ; prOgressing, we
may suppose, in force and fineness of
organization.- The race will perish,
perhaps, in the order of nature, by
failure or insufficient number of off
spring, a principal cause of the ex
tinction of superior races. The earth
must become lone and voiceless long
before-.the incandescence of the crust.
Science may follow it into the condi
tion of an attendant star, and then of
an expanding nebula.

go tip from thewitidWard' side, stint
upon the lip of the crater, look down •
inteethe roaring shying, and see what
,the eruption of a volcano looks like
on the spot.'
That is, in truth, -the only way of

of ' horrors: it volcano 'is. Without

vies from below. Bat you, have only
to mount the ewnmit -when- an erur
Lion of any magnitude is in, psogress
to find.yonrself iktbe presence of-ae
palling phenomena, both of eight and
sound: Choose the last few hours of
daylight for your . :ascent, and then,
as the darkness closes round, ,and
thewOrld below beamed hidden from
your view, you stand at the crater in
presence ot a scene fur whili no lan
guageban be very.extravagant. For
experienced mountaineers the effort '
required fur tie ascent is nothing re
markable ; but for ordipary people-it
is laborious enough.
You arrive at the edge of the cra
ter, and the& you behold a scene. full
of awe and' majesty. The sudden
ness with which you come upon it is
quite startling., Going up you neith
er see nor hear. anything. One mo
meat you are clambering.up the side
of the cone amid profound silence ;
the next moment, as your head rises
above the crater lip, you encounter a
roar and a blaze Which make yod_
shrink back'a little. This surprise is
occasioned, I suppose, by the forma
tion Of the crater. It is a huge boWl
which comes up-to - quite a lip, .tbotit
half a . •mile in diameter and some bun
-sired •yards in depth Towards the
bottom of this - bowl, 'on' the opposite
eide . to where we stood, was a great
'hole, from Which all the prejedtifes of
the eruption were shot - ; the ithrfacii
- ot the bowl being composed of lumpe
of lava, stoned and cinders; :all of
'them smeared With sulphni, precisely
like - those upon which we were state
ding. As. you mount' ttie cone there
is between you and the gulf an enor
mous, wall, which dulls everything
alike—for eye end ear. Even while
on the Steeps of the cone , itself you
might be unaware that the mountain
was disturbed. -But a sit gte . step
seems almost enough Co . transfer you
from the most deathlike stillness to
the grandest exhibition of force it is'
possible to conceive. Instead of the
monotonous dull black'of congealed
lava on the lower levels, you have
the deep brisk red of stones that have
been under the action , of fire, the
brightest 'vermillion, and every
maginable shade of orange and yellOw
that sulphur deposits are capable of
taking.. The ground is hot too ; so
hot; indeed, that you cannot keep
your feet on the same spot fur many
seconds together. Between-__the
chinks of the stones yen can see , that
a few inches below-the surface it is
actually redhot. You'itheast in the
end of your stick for a moment and
you pull it out charred. Over all the
farther half ot the crater there hangs
a dense cloud or- smoke and vapor ;
all around you there is an atmosphere
of sulphur, which sets you coughing;
from numberless• small holea about
your feet there issue with a-hiss sul
phurous jets of steam which nearly
choke you as you pass over them ;
and then as you loOk down into the
actuel abyss you are face to face
with the most appalling phenomena,
both of sight and sound, which, per
haps the whole
,of Europe has to
offer.
Among the crowd of strange Beni,

apparent indention. Ito . ver, it is
commonly supposed - that ava is al
ways projected , from the crater, and
the language commonly used in de:
scription encourages the idea. "A
stream of kilt was seen to issue from
the crater" is the sort of phraseology
with which. one is moat familiar in
accounts of eruptiOns that took place
in bygone days. rim not sure that
this is ever strictly accurate, but
with the crater in anything like its
present form,"it hardly seems proba
ble. It would take a vast quantity,
of molten - lava to till that great bowl
of half a mile diameter, which I sup
pose it'would have to do before any
.•f- it would run over down the sides
'or the mountain. I saw no indica
=,-tions that, this ever took place. -
While you are on the mountain,
.the streams of lava Which have hi
suedlforth and - cooled at the several
previoqs eruptions are quite distin
gniehable from' each other by their
differences of structure and color.—
We saw! many such ; but Isaw no
indication of any one of them having
come over the lip of the crater. In
every single instance the course of
the lava stream sei'med to have been
lower down the mountain. Certainly
this was the case with the 'very fine
one which burst out just before our
visit. As we stood, upon the lip of
the crater it was below us through
out the whole length. The lava was
issuing from a great fissure which it
had -made for itself some distant
down in the side of the cone. The
guides hurried us away from the
neighborhood of. its source, because,
they naid,it was quite possible anoth
er orifice might be opened at any
moment, and then it would be all
over with the present spectators --
The eiperience of these men clearly
14 them to regard this as the normal
mode of the emission of lava.. In the
case actually before us it was being
poured forth evenly and continuously
in a molten stets from the fissure ; it
descended for a short distance• in a
broad Wham to a point where a bifur
cation took place,.and then the burn

pots: - He blew into it gently e - and
-
shaped it 'on a inarver, flattening it
until it resembled in 'form and size
that -part _of • a sword-hilt, that is
grasped by the hand.
"la flattening it," said the gaffer,
"he flattened the bubble of air be had
blown into it.". Lawrence looked;
and could see the bubble; about u
broad as his finger,extending through
the glass. "Thetis to be the bore of
thti thermometer,—though of itself it
is now, larger than two or'three ther
mometer tubes. • Now they are going
to put on the stripe."
A boy brought a lump of molted,
opaque, white glass on a pout -It
was touched to the now hardened
sword-hilt,-"and drain from end to
end, .along • the flat side, • leaving a
stripe about as broad is a lady's tin
ger.• The asitord•hilt, with the stripe
carefully pressed down, and hardened
utaiu it, was new plunged into a pot•
of melted glass, and thickly coated ;
the soft exterior waft rounded on a .
marver,untit the entire body of glass,
enclosing the stripe and the flattened
bore, was in size and shape a little
longer and considerably larger than
*banana.
This was now slowly heated to a
melting state. Then came forward a
boy wittes -peaty, beaiing on its end
a piece of glass resembling an inver
'ted Conical inkstand. This 'he set
upright on the ground, the bottom of.
the inkstand uppermost. The blower,
with the melting lump,now.acivanced,
and held it over the panty, until-the
soft mass dropped down and touched
the bottom of the inkstand, to which
it adhered. The man and the boy
held the- ltimp a moment between
them ; then, at word of command,
the boy shouldered hie ponty,like . a
very large staff with a very small
bundle ott the end of it, and set out
to travel. As he ran in one tfirectian,
into'a Work iroom, the man biaked off
in the other,the glowing lump stretch
ing between them like some miracu- .
ions kind of spruce gum. In a min
ute they were seventy or eighty feet
r i
apart, with a gleamng cord of glass,
smaller than, a pip f etstim, sagging
between them. This was presently
lowered, laid out at its- 1 full' length
upon the ground,. and broken from
what was- left of the lamp at the
ends.
. Even the Doctor, who had hitherto
said little, now expressedihis aston
ishment and admiration, exclaiming,
"It is marvellous 1 it is truly marvel
-ow I" ,
"Of course," said the gaffer, "the
-bore stretches 'with ther tube; and
keeps it flattened shape. SO does the
stripe."
"Bat what keeps the tube Of uni
form size I' Why don't, it' - break ?"
said Lawrence, -
"The reason is this. As the glass
runs out thin, it cools, and stops
stretching, while it continues to draw
out the soft' glass from the .thigket
parts at the ends:lf we wish to make
a small tube, stretch it quick,
without giving it much time-to cool.
To make a large , tube, we stretch
slower. - Here is .a piece of barometer
tubing, stretched in the same way ;
so.is this. lot of homeopathic vials."
