A Pew Ideas Respectfully Submitted to the Public by One who is neither a Specula, - tor, Money Shaver, or a Member of Oon In December; 1857, the subscriber submit-: ted a .plan to Congress .for . the creation of a National Currency, similar tor the one now. established: In that recommendation was em .braCed a plan' for regulating the issue of , a National Currency so as to provide, for the future wants of the country, while at the same time it would effectually. check an over issue without any. fumre legislation on the subject. •• During the progress of the .rebel lien there was a natural repugnance to limi.- - ting, anything, because the wants of the country were unknown ; but the rebellion is now over; and this question is necessarily forced upon.the consideration of the people. • All business men are aware' of the great Importance of stability, particularly in cur rency and.tariffs; .and in order to secure sta bility these questions must be removed from too frequent legislation. Our plan obviates this difficulty effectually. We-all know that an inflated currency runs up prices far be yond their real - value, while a . contracted " currency depredates all kinds of values.— With State Banks, and even with a National Bank, over issues could only be partially con trolled, and the country was always visited with periodical expansions •and contractions, carrying rain everywhere.. Under the old system this could not be avoided, and even under the National Bank System similar .ef fects will be sure to follow, if left open for Congress to legislate upon whenever there is a clamor made for more currency by specu -litters and money changers. . • Our plan is "this: 'first ascertain the rela tive value of the property compared with money, so - that the proportionate value of each is maintained:. This can be thine by taking a period of prosperity when there was no over-trading, and - ascertain the re-. turned value of ; -the property of the country;. and the amcinnt of currency required at that period to transact the business. Our im pression is that It will-be found that for every $3O of the returned value of real and person al property there ought to be an issue of.sl in eurrency--this, we believe, would give all the currency . required. We made an esti mate in 1257, and we , found that $1 in cur rency to $3O of the 'returned value of prop erty, .(excluding sieve property, which, for tunately for the country, has ceased to exist,) w mild have given at that 'period a volume of currency equal . to. about $400,000,000—a1l that was required at that time; We have no full and complete data at hand now, but from the best information we Could glean: the present Value of real and personal property throughout the country, including the States lately in rebellion, would amount to abont $22 000,000.000, The issue of $1 for $3O would give a volume 'of currency equal to $733,000,000 in round numbers. This, we believe, would be ample for all.business pur poses, and for developing the domestic in 'dustry of the country.._ The relative pro portions might be raisi,d or lowered accord ing to the supposed wants; If $1 to $3O ia con - sidered too high or too low—but it is import ant.tbat It, should be fixed permanently by Congress, as tfone but a National Currency will be in existence hereafter. • The circulation of the Banks in 1860 before the Rebellion broke.out, was $202,000,000 in round numbers... The banks then paid . spe cie. Add one-fifth for coin circulation, and the whole circulation of the country then was about 4242,500;000. The . capital Of the Banks at that time was $429,592,718. The whole amount 'of currency issued. by Government, and authorized to be issned to the Government Banks, after removing State circulation; according to the Report of the Comptroller.of the Treasury, was in October last, $960,167.826. The amount of currency issued but not in circulation, amounted. to $499,823,097--leaving the actual paper cir culation of the country at $460 844,229, not 'quite' double the circulation in 1861. We had•in - Jan. last non-interest bearing Government issues amounting to. $427,962,245 Authorized "Issues by . National • _Banks 800.000,000 $727.062.245 One dollar leaned in currency to $3O of the value of real and personal property. would give a volume of currency equal to $733,000,- 000; which would he ample for business and for a Government Reserve Fund to be held by the National Bsiiks.. Of course only: a portion of the authorized issues are in circu lation at any one time—and this basis of issue .would give all the currency required in the most prosperous periods. The value of the property In every State is ascertained every- three years. The average annual increase for the three previous years is known, and the Comptroller of the Curren cy would be prohibited from issuing charters for National 13anka to issue currency beyond this point annually_ All applications for charters can be registered for each State, and these"chatters granted in- rotation as soon as the increased - property will warrant It. This plan would require no further legislation—it provides for the increased wants of the coun try, -as "the business - and' property 'increase, and effectually checks over-Issues, over- tra ding and wild speculationand besides, it gives.each State its proportion of currency, according to its wealth and business, -which . is the most equitable mode of distribution— much better than any distribution that 'can be fixed upon by uncertain legislation by, Congress. ' This plan- is shiple, comprehensive, easily understood, and must commend itself to ev ery thinking , business man of the country. The State Bank currency is withdrawn.— Congress ought to limit. the Secretary of the Treasury to the withdrawal of the interest bearing currency only until that is all with drawn, before It touches the .non-bearing interest greenbacks. If it was deemed advi 'sable afterwards to withdraw the Govern ment greenback currency gradually, the Na tional Bank issue Could be increased to take its place up to the limit. • - - After.e. resumption of specie payments by the. Banks, the people will, no doubt, desire a withdrawal of all notes of a lemdenomina tion than five dollars, and gold and silver will of course, replace ft, which would give us all the metallic currency required Wlaile These channels were filling up, the increased issue of paper currency could be suspended for a time. .= With such a limit to the issue, while it.pro vides kir' all our. future wants, and all sec tions of• the country hi proportion to its bu siness and wealth, it would inspire great con fidence among the btutiness community , and all other classes, and would prove to be the best and most stable currency is the world. FOREIGN COMMERCE Closely_connected with the currency is our foreign • .commerce. Whenever there are over-issues there are over-importations. A well regulated currency would regulate the foreign commerce to a Considerable extent, but not altogether. In the two great ma mmal countries of, England and 'France the importations and exponailims are regulated by the National. Banks; which raise the rate of interestwhen importations are excessive, and lower It as they decrease. Here we have no such National regulator to regulate inter est artdimportation. In 1850, Stephen Col well, Esq., of Philadelphia, an extensive iron manufacturer, and who perhaps; is better ac quainted with the protective policy in snits details, than any person now living, suggest ed, the idea of a sliding scale, which, we think, is the most judicious recommendation yet made 011 this subject. It is to fix a fair rate; 'of duties softie:tautly protective while they are not prohibitory, and then to author. , ize the Secretary of the Treasury, whenever the exportations do not exceed the importa tions, say 8 or 10 per cent. (exelusive of coin) to increase the rates of duties, say 15 per cent.; until the. exportation exceed the importations, say Bor 10 per cent, This would obviate any disturbing legislation by Congress,, and would prove to be an eflectu aicheck against excessive importations, and thus - keep our proportion of coin in the country. In carrying out this idea ivewmild suggest the following section to be added to the new Tariff Bill, now pending before'Qcingresa : - !Se sr. ENACTED, 40. That keying out of view teuh M the export id import of Gold and Silver, whenever the exports do' not exceed ,the imports in *aim bmper amt. during any fiscal quarter of any Bic-41year, the Secretary, of the TreseurY is hereby authorized and re quired after: giving 80 days'..noties in the principal commercial cities, 'to raise the-duty oa the value of all articles of foreign Imports (excepting such atticles'es have been exemp ted from the provisions .of the act) .10 per centum within thirty: daya after the expira tion of each: and every , Beast quarter during which the,exports as aforesaid ddo not exceed the imports as.aforesahl, ten per dent.", ; The same power ought to. given to re, dace UM:hales:also when our eximtations are excessive, which would dmw fronfolhei :countries• more thanmi. due proportion'of coin, and thus-d the markets abroad for our - priducti.

This is a great mistake. - 'All his official duties in office are governed by-law, and in this case he' could only act when certain.contingencies arise, which are , alio goVerned by law. - Some also might suppose that It would derange business and prices. Such, however,' would not be the effect,. but on-the contrary it would ratti er tend. tomake prices more permanent. But eves if it should derange the foreign trade a little—it would tend' greatly to protect the labor and domestic Industry of our country, which Congress is bound to protect, or prove recreant to their trust. Let foreign govern ments look after their own interests. BY keeping our imports within the limit of our exports, we compel foreign coantries, who desire to trade with us, to find a market for our surplus prciductions in order that they may dispose of their produOtions in exchange for OM. This, is equitable free trade,. and will build up the country and indrease its wealth rapidly—while the free - trade which European manufacturers with cheap money, cheap labor, 'and their immense machinery, want us to adopt, would impoverish our peo ple, decrease our wealth, and iveaktn us as a nation and greatly eripple us when menaced from without. When this nation, through protection,, has built up machinery equal to 700,000,000 man power to.. manufacture cheap .products, as - England has done under her Protective Policy, we too will advocate low duties and take our .chance with the older nations of the world. - With these questions settled, the drain of coin could be checked, gold would rapidly decline to par, "and we would then gradually descend from the .high war' to peace prices; and When expedient, a resumption'of specie payments could be effected without contract , log the currency or 'disturbing the business of the country, under. the National Currency system: As all the property of the country is pledged as a basis for our National Curren cy, and, of course, a dollar In paper, with gold at par, would be just as good as a gold dollar when resumption is effected, conse quently, there would be no run on National. Banks for coin, as there.would be if State in stitutions were still in existence, whose Issues were based only on credit, which is always liable to sudden fluotuations. With our curiency and foreign commerce thus regulated on a.permanent and ,equitablo basis; providing for the future wants of the country without any further disturbing legis lation on these important questions, our country would enter on a career of gradual increasing prosperity and wealth, unparalleled :in the history of nations, without any of the great draWbacks which have so frequently checked our onward career heretofore. _ - - The business men of the country. have Ig nored the currency question to an alarming extent, and left its-regulation principally in the hands of, the money changers, money shavers and speculators. Such persona of course, work for their .own interests, and TITEIR interests are hostile to the whole busi ness community. . Their "efforts-are, confined Principally to create large' dividends from stocks, &c., and raise the' per centages on money.. Such a policy is hostile -to business —because business men and manufacturers, and partidularly , those who develop thercortn try, want money at. low rates. Our policy will be to make money..plentY, interest low, and capitalists will then find it more-lucra tive to invest their funds in 'developing 'the industry of the country and , thus create wealth. instead of being permitted, under a different policy, to - shave the business men at the rate of one and two per cent. a month, which tends to crush out development and business, ditninishes the creation of wealth, pampers a moneyed aristocracy of drones in the community, while the masses will become more and more Impoverished. Is it not high time that the business men of the country, the producers,. &c., should pay more attention to the currency que-tion? Suppose ex-Secretary Chase had taken the advice of the money changers, brokers, &o, and adopted their policy, what condition would the country be in now? And what would have been the state of our finances? Thank God. he rejected their advice, appealed to the people, saved the country against the money changers, and placed us in a financial condition, unexampled in the history of any country. Let Congress_ also , ignore the , schemes of moneychangers, shavers, specu lators, and drones, and legislate for the pro ductive and business interests of tbe country. • Currency questioneare generally Intricate, confound the minds of those who have no'_. given much thought •to the subject, and are difficult to.understand ; but this plan, which `covers the whole ground -and' controls the whole question, is so simple that any legisla tor,' of even - ordinary capacity, , can easily comprehend it.. .

How the little innocents were tempted in to the forest's depths is not known, but darkness came, on, and` the children were missed and did not return.— The • country is 'Sparsely Settled-11nd' tro neighbors could be called on to assist in theirearch until morning.'

Bhe mentions another fact, which, simple as it is, touched our heart to the core. The shoes and stockings Of the little darlings had been taken off, and were found near them The explanation of this to our , mind is plain. - When nigh t came on there was a sudden change in the weather pe. culler to this region, called a wet nortner.

' • This, let it be said, in the drat place, iti pri mary to the other. three. It is so, not only In the order of time,-but in the importance of . Its agency. and the permanency for gdod or for evil, of ha impressions. You see marks of the family on the child in school, on the citizen In the State. and the Christian in the church. The family does a work upon chit= dren, and that is upon Evaansonr, that noth ing else can do, that nothing else can undo. The family mark.. made upon the child, he carries through life and forever. It Is sanra ar. as I aaldt From- late planting, or. early frosts, let the cotton be a poor sample—and the growers And manufacturers know *hat that. means—and no matter how perfect your mills, or how practiced your operatives, your sheetings and your calicoes come out a fail ure. Bat be there in the cotton a prime sta ple, and even rickety ml is and- unskilled hands could hardly spoil it. Itwiii come out at worst, a kind of self-made fabric, in which you will still find strength and firmness of. -texture, however the fine finish may be wanting. ' • This primary Institution, the family, is with us. • The law recognizes it ; the church rec ognized it; public opinion recognizes it.— We have 0. The, fanatical reformers who would explode-It, have gone, where-all their followers must go, to the "dead sea." The family is with us; but I tremble to - see how it is worked. _I fear its - staple" Is run ning down. Thdre is so much.of late plant ing, and neglected culture, and early frost, that it degenerates - ; it is already so inferior, that the school, the state, and the church, in their very best moods, can manufacture out of it only second quality goods. _ And what is our management of -the fam ily ? One great and summary mistake in• working thetimily,•, as it seems to me, is, that each dementia group is not. kept suf ficiently by, itself. Home is not enough a separate world. And hence failure of its in tended good.. This is the point to which I will speak.. What I will oiler, therefore, will simply be an argument for staying at home. This rule of staying at home will have its limit,. of course. I propose not to forget it. N.o,r , am I unaware that some families are prklous exceptions to the street-life doctrine. Yet all will concur, when I speak of it as a great and wide spread, evil, 'that the domes tic privity, instead Of being a sacred and close retreat, is wretchedly open to the world. Theisraelitish children teroll 'out, Canaan blab children stroll in.' The result la,_ the husguage of Ashdod is common to them all. Our children come home to get their food, their clothes, their sleep. Why do they not come home fcir their pleasures and their-cull tore? Is home only a place for children to be - born and suckled—then to run wild?' Or is it the heaven appointed place to make men - and women sure candidates for hOsor and welfare here, and fur glory, -- and honor, and Immortality hereafter. Does some one ear, that it is impracticable thug to keep the family . st home? But how so.? Let the pestilent oreath of the plague be in the streets, and how easy to keep your door shut, and your children within I No lure will tempt - them abroad. But, as things now are, there. la a moral pestilence to the streets, more to be dreaded than any breath Of the plague. It creates mightier reasons, why farrillies should be ensconsrd at home. - The pleasure - as well as the safety of home, should-be all the more welcome—the more chosen, because of the harsh voice and dark visages that are without; because of the' treachery, fascination and seduction,,that are sure to. compass the unwary., Suppose, then, staying at home were the order of the day. Children go from home to school, and from school borne. The young people. and the parents, go from home to the calls of duty, and from these duties home.— - And they make it to be home—a sacred en closure, shut away from the world. Not ono family does this, nor nine, nor ninety and - nine ; but the - whole hundred. And ..now what was barely- possible to the individual family, becomes a hundred times easier, from co-operation. If there were no children in the.streets, mine would not beg to go. The point to -gained. Everybody is - at home. dud this, let me say, is only acting up to the nature of the case. 'A family is a world by itself; a little monarchy; - not a re public a monarchy; after the similitude-of heaven. There are -two things in heaven— - governed and being governed. In every family there, must. be the same. There are two other things in heaven=loving and being loved. So it must be in every family. To -copy the divine exemplar, is to be perfected. Bat is there no limit to this staying at home? Shall there be no out- door-intercourse ? Let me be the last to put an end 'to social life.— Let it be cultivated; and let what I am plead ing for,.bome in-to heighten its character, . sweeten its pleasures, and Increase its bene fits. Famalies, are little monarchies. They are the tpye of bodies politic. Let -. their intercourse be a kind of diplomacy—all in state. - Avaunt all miscellaneous herding together. Never forget the rules and !knits tions which - personal dignity and self respect always require. Pay yeur respects to your neighbors, and do it with a hearty good will.. Mingle with your fiiends, and let a warm, vi talizing benevolence, acting and re-acting between . you. doable all your joys. Let your children do the same. Let them do it with you, and as part of you, and all find hoine together. And now for this intercourse with neigh bors and friends, ordinarily let the day, not the night be taken. I speak , considerately' and earnestly; however It may seem to some of you like beating the air. Use the de.; to be abroad. At night be Within your own doors. "Lead us not into temptation " Think not now, fathers, of - grudging the time it will take from your. bqsions. - Here _ is something of infinitely greater consequence . than silver or,gold, for which you give time so freely :'-This rearing of children, forining .their characters, or equally by doing it—by not doing It, aad thus fixing their eternal state. 0, let me tell you, money has no meaning when it comes into inch a compari-' son. Many a, man has felt it so, when he .has - coMe at lngth.to stand, heart-broken, speechless, with eyes that cannot weep,' over the ruins of a son, or a'disbonored daughter. What millions would he not give—and more —till his back was cold, and his mouth !An gry, and his head pillowless, could he but make that son a man, or that daughter a wo maul .A.way, then, from your hot pursuit of the million, and come. to to's infinitely greater work—the guardianship and culture of poor 1 child.
