ttr.NRT A. Parsons, Jr. Editor THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1873. FROM the Rnftsman't Journal we learn that Hiram Woodward Las so far recovered as to bo able to attend to bin extensive lumbering business, Thirtt-iivk tears ago Thomas H. 13enton, "Old Bullion)" as be was called delivered a ppecch upon fiuances in the United States Senate, in tho courso ol which bo madesomo remarks which bear upon a prominent issue of to-day. One passage was as follows : "One of the bigbesl Junction which niouey is to meas ure Values. That is a fuuetiou which paper cannot pcrtorm.jjjJiyTho measure- of values must "itself possess intrinsic value, must ielt' be free from sudden or ma'crialvariatious of value. As well might you attempt to make a measure of lengths out of which has no length; a measure of quantities out of that which has no capacity to held any quantity, as to endeavor to make a measure out of that which has no bitrinsio value, The precious metals alone can constitute n measure cf valuables; paper money can mcasuro the valuo of nothing, not even of ltsell; its own value is eternally meas ured by its icactiou by its converti bility into specie." This 1.1 stating the case strongly, and few will deny tho truth of the assertion, but our difficulty Is to discover a method by which we can return to specie payment Mo the shortest possibly time corsifiteut with the business interest of tho country And yet Jhe problem is unsolved.
