Gold is Ur—the Currency is not Down.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: The history of opinions informs us that great
etrors ale adhered to as firmly - , and sometimes as
honestly, as gloat truths. It Is our lot in this world,
and our duty, to avoid error as carefully as we would
seek the truth; even more so, for the ways of error
Are far more numerous and easy to travel than 'the
ways of truth. Popular errors, when of sufficient
importance to have many advocates, generVily have
A long race before they are brought down and de
stroyed. There is one at this moment attracting
wide attention, and causing a great outory. It is
proclaimed in dailies,, monthlies, in grave State
papers, it speeches, and oracular deliverances on all
aides, that the currency of the loyal States is de
preciated to the exact extent of the price of gold.
Many, very many, intelligent people assert this
with as much confidence and sincerity as they
would say that two and two make four. They
assume it as an undoubted element in their finan
cial reasonings, and the whole financial position of
the country is considered from that point of view.
-The nation is pi onoulnual to be, on that account,, on
the 'very brink of fie/mini ruin.
This is a monstrous mistake, founded on a fallacy
not less monstrous . We have certainly real troubles
and difficulties enough, in our present national posi
' ion, to encounter,. without allowing this alarming
and mischievous apprehension a place in our minds.
Long faniiliarity with subjects of this kind loads us
to the conclusion that there is absolutely no ground
for the assertion that our currency has depreciated to
the extent that gold his - risen, nor indeed to any in
urious extent.
What is the import of this asserted depreciation?
It imports that the banks and people of the loyal
States arc receiving every week, in payment of
-debts, not loss than two hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, in a currency depreciated forty to fifty
per cent. ; that is, worth at most one hundred and
fifty millions, losing for the time at the rate of up
wards of fifty-two hundred millions yearly. It imports
'that the operations of the New York clearing house,
which exceed one hundred millions weekly, represent
only fifty or sixty millions, and that the rest is only
moonshine. It imports that a man who, with this
currency, purchases real estate at the same price he
could have had it for three years ago, to the amount
of $lOO,OOO, really only pays $55,000 for it ; and that,
although the man who receives the $lOO.OOO can with
this same currency go into the real estate market
and purchase productive real estate at about the
same rat he would have given several years ago, or -
although lie can purchase the best of six orseven per
cent. mortgages at the same rate he would have paid
for them in gold three years ago. Farms in all the
best agricultural districts of the country can be pur
chased with this currency as cheaply as before the
suspension Of specie Payment's. The real estate:of
the country, the main item of national wealth, and
certainly worth twenty times our whole stock of
gold,, can then be purchased and paid for in this cur
rency, alleged to be depreciated at least forty-flve per
cent. p at rates as favorable to purchasers as before the
assumed depreciation took place. If this doctrine be
well founded, real estate has depreciated in the same
'ratio as the currency. It is well known that although
there have been flutuations in city property as well
before as since the suspensions of payments in gold,
the greatbulk of the real estate in the loyal States
has .undergone no depreciation since the rebellion
commenced, whereby it can be purchased at the same
prices as formerly in a currency now depreciated ;
neither is it supporteff at its present valuation by
speculation, nor by a currency so depreciated.
So far, then, as can be ascertained from our thou
sands of millions of real estate in country or in city,
no depreciation of the currency has occurred, nor
has the amount or quality of the currency exerted
any appreciable influence on the price of real estate.
It la at serted strenuously, by those who should be
more careful of their conclusions and admissions
before couunit ling themselves to is doctrine so inju
rious to our national credit, that a great inttatlon of
prices has occurred as a consequence of the large
issues of paper currency. This assertion is made en
part on the faith of a doctrine which has been much
taught by a certain class of theorists in political
economy during the last half century. In the whdlii -1 ,
range of industrial and commercial economy there
is scarce a more complicated subject, both as to facts
and theory, than prices. Of all the influences which
bear • upon prices, there are- perhaps none whose
effects are-so general, and yet so small, as changes in
the quantity of currency. It is so much easier to
attribute any increase of prices to the currency than
to ascertain the real facts of every fluctuation in
price that it is a favorite mode of saving the labor
of minute and careful investigation.
No one will deny that every article of trade, every
product of industry, has its own law of price, its
own fluctuations of market value, ruling mainly the
rates at which it is-sold in the channels of consump
tion and trade. These special laws which pertain
to each commodity, and on which its price essen
tially, . and most OT all, depends, must, in the first
place,. be consulted, and the actual facts and beau-_
ences pertaining thereto be ascertained before at
tempting to discover the effect of the secondary in
fluences arising from such causes as those of the
currency. It is not the paper currency which has
raised the price of cotton, 'or coal, or sugar, or
wool; the causes of the advance in these articles are
well known. The paper currency is not responsible
for the advance in labor, which It is equally well
known is caused by the withdrawal of nearly a
million of laborers for the suppression - of rebel
lion ; nor for the advance in very many articles,
into the price of which the cost'of labor enters as a •
chief element. Such is the whole range of the pro- -
ducts of our dombstic industry. Iron is wholly the
product of labor, the raw materials in their natural
condition having little comparative value; its ad
vance, then, is to be attributed to the cost of labor,
to heavier duties, and to the premium on gold. Lum
ber has advanced because the hardy men, who have
heretofore prepared it for market;;have left the wild
regions where it is obtained, and are absent from
their occupation for the defence of the country. The
whole range of imported commodities has been af
fected by increased duties and the rise in gold. The
extraordinary advance in exchange has increased
the price of-the commodities usually exported by
offering such a large premium on foreign funds.
When all these considerations, and all the facts to
which they point, are duly weighed, where is the
propriety of insisting that the currency of the pre
sent time in the loyal States Is depreciated forty-five
per cent., or, as is asserted, to the very figure of the
premium on gold?
' This assertion deserves the broadest denial which
can be offered to it. We deny that there has been
any advance in prices owing to depreciation of the
geneial currency; we deny that there has been any
depreciation of the currency to correspond with the
advance in gold. 'We insist that the rise in gold is
an independent event, totally unconnected with the
general currency. It is as easy to assign the reasons
for the advance of gold as those for the rise of any
other commodity which `has increased in price.
When the thanks were paying gold it could not com-
"nand a premium, for the banks supplied the demand.
at par.: When the banks suspended the holders of
gold immediately asked from une to two per cent.,
-- awl those who needed gold were - obliged to give it.
As the demand- inercrevood-ths-doolore trt-goltLin
creased the price. The demand increased for several
reasons:
1. The export of gold was constantly diminishing
the stock on hand. It carried off sixty-nine millions
in 1662: • .
2. Gold was'constantly required for payment of
duties, and the importers were compelled to pur
chase in the market what they could not demand of
the banks.
3. The Government required a considerable quan
tity of gold for payment of interest on the public
debt, for various other purposes at home, for pay
ment of purchases abroad, and for payment of naval
expenses and salaries of ministers and consuls.
4. The aspects of the war and the expectation of
large issues of paper currency induced many people
to hoard or keep it on hand for emergencies.
6. The sale of American securities returned to us
from Europe created a large demand for exchange, •
the rise of which proportionately affected gold.
6. So many influences operating on one commodi
ty caused a rapid advance ; the speculators and
brokers, who fatten on fluctuations, and are quick
to perceive such conjunctions of circumstances as
affect the articles in which they deal, such as stocks
or gold, were prompt to step into a movement al
ready so well supported. These shrewd dealers
soon found that they had also the hearty co-opera
tion of the holders of American securities, who
feared the return and sale, to the injury of our
money market, of similar securities held abroad.
All these iuttuences tend not only to produce a rise
in gold, but to keep it at a high figure. As stocks go
up, gold goes up with them, because parties in the
foreign interest can afford to purchase gold if specu
lation advances stocks sufficiently to cover the
whole or a portion of the premium on gold. •
7. At the present stage of the geld market, it has
perhaps no one support;more powerful than the very
general and very erroneous belief in the depreciation
of the treasury issues and bank notes. The confident
and persevering announcement that the general pa
per currency has depreciated from forty-five to fifty
per cent. is alarming even to those rvho•hesitate to
credit so absurd a position. This alarm spreader. A.
currency which could fall one-half in a yearrnayso
to nothing in another year. In proportion' to The
credit given to this false notion must be the force of
the rush for gold and the advance in price.
LOnly one class of men can resist the force of these
acts, which prove that the premium on gold ex
hibits the advance in price of gold, and not the de
predation of the paper currency—that class of theo
rists who believe that gold has the extraordinary
. quality of neither rising nor falling in price. This
class of men, unhappily for our national finances, is
neither small nor insignificant; it is a class desti
tute neither of intelligence, nor of influence. It is
at this moment exerting an influence on public
affairs so miechieveous that not even rebel armies
mote threaten the safety of the country.
For centuries—ever since the revival of industry
and commerce in Europe—have the market rates of
gold been quoted in the price -currents and in places
of exchange. During all that time gold has been, in
the language and in the estimation of merchants and
bankers, bought and sold, with variations in price
much more numerous than in , many other commodi
ties. Gold is still so bought and Bold in all the money
markets of the world. We have been informed from
day to day, by the press of New York, ever since th
suspension, what was the premium upon gold. It: .
selling rate has fluctuated violently for the last six
months—sometimes as much as five per cent, in a
single day. According to the idea of those who say
that gold does not change, but that currency does, it
follows that some thirty to fifty million: of gold out
of the banks in New York, urgently needed and
sought after by ninny classes of persons, does not
and cannot rise in price, but some five hundred mil
lions of currency throughout the loyal- States does
change, going up or down in its vast mass as the
premium on gold appeara to fluctuate. Thg,New
York banks which receive one•hundred millions in
the course of a day may, according to this doctrine,
find, at the close of the day, that the one hundred
millions of receipts are, in fact, worth only ninety
live millions, gold having advanced five per cent.
whilst the day's receipts of currencywere coming in.
The influence of foreign exchange upon the price
of gold is generally admitted, but is perhaps, not so
I
well understood as it should be. t is well known
that when exchange rises above the cost of shipping
gold, including all charges, the gold becomes imme
diately the medium of remittance. When exchange
goes up, therefore, gold invariably follows, with the
difference of the expenses of transmission. This is
the commercial rule which in some countries always
operates as it does here now. It must be noted, how
ever, •that when, there are banks compelled to pay
gold, exchange itself must have a very limited range
upwards, because the purchasers of exchange are
protected from any great advance by the facility of
obtaining gold, which cannot rise so long as the banks
furnish it at par. No doubt that, in the present in
stance, the first great impulse upward was from the
advance of exchange. But when other causes began
to operate upon gold, such'its those adverted to, its
great rise produced a corresponding advance in
foreign exchange, for the dealers in and holders of
exchange could readily advance their rates against
Duotomers who could no longer obtain gold without
ecurchaaing it from those who were uncontrolled in
fixing the price. • This is specially noticed for the
benefit of those who think gold cannot rise, Foreign
exchange, strictly an incident of foreign commerce,
the moat fluctuating department of trade, is itself
just as fluctuating as the course of trade. There
are few who will be disposed to deny that foreign
exchange is duct uating, but close observance would
teach them that every variation in exchange affects
gold correspondingly, unless the banks furnish it at
l,ar. The history of commerce, indeed, shows that
in the whole range of commodities there is none :
more sensitive in the matter of price than gold,.
when legal or artificial regulations do not interfere.
The question we have been considering is not
whether:ifaper may riot be issued to such excess as to
trecbme depreciated, but whether it has been so
issued here during the last eighteen months. The
increase of cur reney thus far is under, and not in
excess of, the legitimate wants of the loyal States.
It• must he noted that as soon as the banks suspend
ed thewhole quantity of gold in circulation ceased to
be part of the currency. Before the suspension this
gold was not counted, because the quantity. could
..not be known; hut the paper which was issued to
ireplace it was taken account of at once, and used as
OA Argument to prove an excessive expansion of
paper inOnef t^ D .. — nrisylvania the increased issue
of the banks was far short of the amount of gold
withdrawn from circulation. •
It should not be overlooked pat the busmen of,
the loyal States requires, owing to the state - of war,
a far larger proportion ot circulating notes thin in a
period of peace. In time of peace the tour of cir
culation la in the accustomed channels
of
domestic
'trade, where merchants and dealers know earth other,
and afield in ul risl accommodation and credit, which
saves the Culph.y went of a large amount of currency.
In time of war toe large expenditure of Governrneat
and its system of 'contracts brings a vast number of
men into - comae: without knowledge of each other,
and cash is exacted in transactions of great fre
quency and large amount. The changes and uncer
tainties of business create distrust and caution, and
these increase the use of currency: Advance in
prices, always incident to war, in that numerous
class of articles of which the Government is under
the necessity of making large purchases, swells the
volume of currency. In this present war, in' which
more than a half million of men and an army of of
ficers have been under pay, there has all the time
been in many parts of the country an actual defi
ciency of currency. If our soldiers had been regu
larly paid, a large circulation, in addition to that
width has been employed, would have been required.
The legitimate demands of business and the regular
movement of the public expenditure and the collec
tion of the taxes, taken together, require a much
larger sum of current)) , for constant use than has
been generally supposed; but that amount will be
fluctuating, and the fluctuation will not enrfespond
in intensity or in quantity in different places. This
constitutes the chief practical difficulty. It requires
regular commercial knowledge and the skill and ex
perience of practical bankers to manage a full circa•
cation of paper money to prevent 10 being in excess.
With bad management, a smaller amount may have
the evil results of excess; with proper management,
a larger amount may be an undoubted advantage.
There is reason enough why men should be jealous
of large issues of paper currency by the Govern
ment. It is a power easily abused, and one which
has too frequently been abused. But in the present
condition of our country we should be as-careful not
to cry out before we are hurt as to cry out when we
are hurt.
The high price of gold is doubtless a monetary evil,
which is not only a serious inconvenience to many
classee, but a heavy loss to them. By far the great
est evil it inflicts upon the community now, how
ever, is the impression that our currency has , gone
down. This leads men into numberless false conclu
sions, and induces them to act as if the credit of the
country had sunk in the same proportion. No , more
effectual method of attacking public credit could
be devised. It is in this way undermined by the false
admissions of its friends more effectually than it
could be overthrown by the open assaults of its ene
mies. The time is perhaps near enough when it may
require great effort to sustain our national securi
ties. Ought we not to be very sure of our facts and
doctrines before we admit that our national currency
has fallen tlf ty per cent. below,its proper level? The
natural laws of trade, and banking, and currency,
often furnish remedies for the evils which occasion
ally befal them.
When men speculate too freely, or overtrade and
issue their individual paper in too large quantities,
a high rate of interest is apt to prevail when these.
come to he paid. When merchants in foreign trade
import too largely, a high exchange will be the penal
ty and cure. The high price of gold, however much
to be regretted, is a defence against greater evils.
There can be no doubt that our money market is in
danger of the intrusion of a large amount of Ameri
can stocks held in Europe. If this influx were not
held in check, the result would be calamitous to our
money and stock markets here, and to all the inte
rests, public and private, connected with them. It
is enough for those who'are immediately and seri
ously damaged by this high price of gold to grieve
over it ; but holders of the currency ought to admit
that its paying and purchasing power is fully equal
to that of gold three years ago, making allowance
for facts and circumstances and changes which
neither gold nor currency had any influence in pro
ducing. •

ARRESTED BY ORDER OF THE GOVERN
MENT.—Mr. A. D. Boileau, proprietor and editor of
the Evening Journal, of this city, was arrested at an
early hour yesterday morning at his residence, No.
903 Franklin street, by a detachment of the provost
guard. The arrest was made by order of the Govern
ment, and the prisoner was immediately sent to
Washington. Mr. E. W. Carr was also arrested .
and confined in the guard-house, but was subse
quently released. We understand that Mr. Carr
was arrested through a misapprehension of the offi
cers of the Government, as he was supposed to be a
partner in the publication of the Journal. Yester
day afternoon the paper contained an editorial an
nouncement of the arrest, giving what it states were
the reasons prompting the Government to exercise
its pOwer against disloyal sympathizers. The Jour
nal says : " Mr. Boileau was arrested because he
was a Democrat, and because his paper is a Demo
cratic paper) , Disinterested readers of the Evening
Journal will have no difficulty in discerning the rea
son for this arrest. Considerable excitement was
created in the vicinity of the office during the after
noon. Notwithstanding the slushy weather, a large
and somewhat boisterous crowd assembled in the
neighborhood, and were evidently disposed to make
sonic sort of a demonstration. A number of soldiers
belonging to the provost guard took possession of the
office at about 4 o'clock, and all sales of the paper
were immediately stopped. The acting editor of the
paper was nowhere about, nor could any one tell
what had become of Mr. Carr. Mr. Witte, Mr.
Carrigan, and other well-known Democratic leaders,
visited the office, and ventilated their opinions on
the " out rage." Mr. Win. D. Baker essayed to make
a speech to the soldiers of the guard about Aboli
tionists and contractors, unpaid soldiers - . and Go
vernMent plunderers, white men's rights and black
men's privileges. .11r. Baker announced himself
"the editor of this paper," and dared anybody to
arrest him. He owned that the course of the paper
had been very foolish, and if he had been permitted
to be editor-in-chief no such event would have hap
pened, for, he said, he knew there was a way to at!
tack the Government without giving It a ground
upon which an arrest could be made. The cashier
of the establishment was not long in concluding that
it was, on the whole, a safe plan to bundle up all the
stray pennies of the office and carry them to a safer
place of custody. A detachment of police main
tained order outside the office, and no disorderly
scenes occurred. The Provost Guard slept in the
office during the night.

the year amounted to $381,014.57. Of this, $15,130
were appropriated by special ordinances. The
amount of warrants countersigned was $361,972.92.
Balance merging, 19,001.65. Among the items of ex
penditure were : for repairs to city railroads,
$2,987.78; cleaning roads and unpaved streets,

and paving intersections of streets, $8,014.48. These
amounts represent only what was countersigned.
The appropriation in all instances was much larger.
The item of salaries amounts to over $25,000.
In his report, Mr. Landy states that he has in all
cases endeavored to curtail the expenses of the de
partment,and made no outlay except where the pub
lic necessity required it. He thus speaks of the
damages effected in the upper part of the city by the
freshet of early spring: 'lt impaired many inlets,
culverts, and bridges which were repaired at con
siderable expense, and the great freshet in Septem
ber last destroyed many of the bridges in the Twen
tieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth,
and nearly all the large ones in the Twenty-third
we'd ; and in connection therewith private property,
exceeding in amount the entire cost of their recon
struction. The torrent of water was so great, as not
only to destroy the arches and superstructure, but in
many had swept out the foundation, and deepened
the canal several feet, thereby rendering the recon
struction much more expensive than an estimate
based upon a hurried examination would indicate.
There were comparatively but few of the large
sewers injured, and they only in sections where
streets were unimproved, and where the surface
water had not full inlet facility many inlets were
injured, the results of imperfect construction.
"Upon examination I found most of the bridges had
been built in a very improper manner, presenting a
smooth and handsome face, but entirely destitute of
strength; the stones of which they were built,
in most cases, were suitable only for cellar walls
of an ordinary house, and too small for bridge
purposes ; in most instances the whole face did not
show a single tie, and might properly be termed ye
n 3eri ng.
"This false system of economy finds no favor with
me, and as these bridges are Intended to be used for
an indefinite period of time, I deemed it proper and
economical, under the advice and direction of the
able end efficient chief engineer, Strickland Kneass,-
Esq . to use the largest stone and best material that
could be produced,with a greater coat and permanent
good.
"To secure the completion of this work at the
lowest possible expense, I have selected a skilful
man to superintend the construction of each, who
is required to take a solemn obligation to make a
true return of till material used, and labor perform
ed, to finish the same; thereby presenting every
safeguard I could devise, to protect the city from ex
cessive charge, fraud, or peculation. A number of
the bridges are already completed ; the others 'are
in progress of construction, and will yet require
considerable outlay to finish."
It is due to the Commissioner to state that during
the year he has kept the streets of the city gene
rally in very good repair.

APPEAL UNDER THE TAX LAW.—An
Appeal has been held by Edwin T. Chase, Esq., U.
S. Assessor for the fifth collection district, in
Doylestown, to give persons in 'Bucks county an op
portunity of, appealing from the manner in which
they had been rated, assessed,.or classified by the
several deputy assessors of National taxes. But
few persons attended the appeal. Several tavern
keepers from up county made their appearance
to ask an abatement of the United States tax
stating that they could not afford to pay a license of
$2O, as they had been notified they would have to
do—their business not justifying it, but they might
be able to pay $5. One mandated that he had not
sold two gallons of gin in six months. Mr. Chase
informed them that he could do nothing for them.
The high license that liquor sellers are required to
my under the United States tax law will have the
effect to close up some of the numerous taverns
up country. Some of them have already quit sell
ing liquor publicly, to avoid paying the license.
Several persons were on hand to inquire wheth
er a liquor license would authorize them to
carry oa some other business also, such as dealing
iu coal, 'timber '
They were informed that it
would not—that it only authorized the sale of liquor
and nothing else. The deputy assessors appear to
have understood their duties very well, and have
made but few errata In their construction of the
law. In making theieassessments they had many
delicate questions to decide as to who were manu
facturers, desilers„ §E c., under the law, and the
amount of tam or liOnntie they would be required to
pay. As a general .thing, the assessors have been
quite liberal in their construction of the law, not
believing that it was intended to have a rigid con
struction in everrcase.

THE. POLIOE.
(Before Mr. alderman. Beit
The Fifth-Ward Election Case.
The case of conspiracy instituted against the
inspectors of the Filth ward, for issuing a certificate
of election to William Meeser, setting forth that he
had been duly elected to the Common Council, was
again before Mr. Alderman Berner, at his office, on
Seventh street last evening.
Mr:Sellers, for the Coinmonwe - alth, said that he
had no further evidence to offer. He then summed
up the points on which• he desired the binding over
of the parties, the main ones being,
that the asses
sors had made no official return of the taxable in
habitants of the Fifth ward—the sheriff did not
issue a proclamation for the election of such an
officer, and that it should have been the duty of the
inspectors of the election to have rejected all votes
for said office, -as is directed by the act of Assembly,
1839, which says, that if upon opening a ticket- it
is found to contain the name of a persoefor any
office not ordered under the provisions of the law,
said ticket shall be rejected,
Mr. Biddle, counsel for Mr. Hart. one of the de
fendants, gave at some length his views of the law,
and contended that it was the duty of the inspectors
to make a full return of all the votes cast ; anything
short of this would not be proper. The charge of
conspiracy could not be legally made; and as there
is not a particle of evidence of conspiracy, he asked
for the discharge of the defendants.
Frederick IW. Adams, Esq., made the closing
speech in behalf 'of the prosecution. Alderman
-Dealer, after musing for a moment, said he would
hold the case under advisement for a few days, and
then he would announce his decision.
He might state in this case, that it is said a much
larger vote was cast for "scattering' than Mr.
Meeser. received ; therefore, the certificate of the
judges is wrong in saying this gentleman was duly
elected, he having received all the votes cast.
Alleged Larceny.
A man named Edward C/asperson was arraigned be
fore the aldermanAtt the Central Station, yesterdriy
afternoon, on the charge of the larceny ot a -horse
and wagon, the. property of Mr. Jacob Walohe. It
is alleged that the defeniant got into the wagon at
Fourth and Callowhill streets, on Tuesday evening,
during the temporary absence of the owner, and
drove away. He was subsequently arrested in the
Tenth Police district._ He was committed.
Breach of Ordinance.
Patrick Larkens was arrested by Reserve Meer
Kerr, yesterday afternoon, for breach of ordinance.
It seems thatthe defendant was driving a two-horse
wagon on the rail track. A car was just' ahead of
him. It stopped either to let a passenger out or in,
Larkens, instead of turning off the track, stopped
his horse, and thus brought the wagon direetly on
the Bagging. The officer spoke to him several times,
and ordered him to move. The driver did not make
any effort to do so until the officer was about to ar
rest him. The defendant was fined the usual
penalty.
Entered on Duty.
Dennis Mead, the recently-appointed constable of
the Fifth ward, will enter on his duties this morn
ing, at the office of Alderman White. It seems the
constable elected in October did not enter up
his securities, and the constabulary.force of the
ward was, therefore, left vacant. Mr. M.ead was
appointed by the Hon. Judge LudloW to supply the
vacancy.
