AFHE THICAGOYDATL Y TRIBUNE: “WEDNESDAY, “DECEMBER +7,./ 1872, MONEY AND COMMERCE. " MONETARY. . 'TuEsDAY EvESING, Dec. . Notwithstanding the more favorable aspect of trade from the incerased shipments of cattle, hogs, bee, etc., eastwward, and the consequent incresse of Bastern exchango in tho market, money continues very stringent yet. Thebanks show no disposition fo fncrease their loans, and are refusing plenty of good paper every day. In the open market first-class double-name com- mercial paperis offered at 134 to 2 per cent per month, with_very few travsactions at anything under the latter rate. K ! New York exchange was & little firmer fo-day, but sold pretty freely between banks at par. CIRCULATION AND WEALTH. One of the most interesting tables in the Report of the Comptroller of the Currency is thst chowing the ratio of circulating money to wealth and to populetion in the United States as compared with the same in England and France. It is conclusiyely shown that the, rafio of cir- culating money to wealth is greater in the Tnited States than in either of the other coun-. tries, and is jusé about as great here now as it ~was in 1860, thus showing that, notwithstanding zll the talk there has been about a necessity for more currency, the volume of the currency has increased full as fast as the increase of wealth for which it is 2 medium of exchange. But when it_is considered .that the banking system which has been organized on so extensive & gcale during the last nine years makes less and less necessity for bank notes or specie, their place being supplied to a great extent by the ev- idences of bank credit, in" the shape of checks 2nd bills of éxchange, it will be seen that the volume of currémcy has actnally increased in greater ratio than the increase of wealth re- quired. The clesring house system of the banks, that greatest of all economizers of cur- rency, has only been generally introduced sinco 1560, and vet.we find that the ratio of circulating ‘money to wealth in the United States was2.71 Eer cent in 1860 and 2.62 per cent in 1870. Great ritain, with her elaborate system of banks and clearing houses;” found" the ratio 149 per cent .of . circulating . money to wealth sufiicient to trausact her business in 1868, and probably has very little ge_uzer pro~ portion than that now. France, With no system of country banks;. nnd)sr:wficmy none of clear- ing-houess, as obliged to have 2.98 per cent, or nearly as large a:ratio of circulating money to wealth as the United States.- The greater area over whick the population-and business of the Tnited States'are” extended requires’ somewhat greater Tatio of circulating money to wealth than in Great- Britian, and without our system of banks ‘and ing-houses would _re- quire more than the business of France. Baut, s compared with France, the economizing effect of our bznks and clearing-house system more than offzettatiro-grenter area of the country, and we really havelegitimate use Yor a smaller pro- ;I;oxfion of clrculating money to wealth than ‘rance. . There cem, of course, be no uniform standard of circulating money to population. The amonnt of circulating money-pér capifa which 8 nation should have must of course be governed by the amount of the wealth, or capitsi they own, cir- culating money being only the form which 2 cer- tain proportion of the wealth must take for the convenience of trade. . THE COMPTROLLER'S REPORT 7, on the whole, the ablest document that has been issued from that branch of the Treasury Depertment. The statistics are very full and ir- telligently compiled, g0 as to give a clear con- ception of the subjécts of which they treat, and the recommendations for the better manage- ment of the banks arein the main excellent. The statistics and- suggestions- of the report will afford mattérfor much thought and discns- eion, but will undoubtedly be the means of benefiting the benking system, both of Nation- 2l end savings banks. . THE AUTOCRAT OF THE TREASURY. In bis report, published this morning, Mr. Boutwell advocates a doctrine which no other pablic officer has of late years dared to advocate ‘publicly, viz.: the centralization of power. In thiy instance, he claims the sole right to regu- Iate the volume of the carrency, an es that bankers and merchants generally should ba dis- trusted. MMr. Boutwell propokes to do the think- ing for the whole cominercial public; to say when the crops_shall be moved; when and how the currency shall be increased, and when di~ inished; how much profit eball be made in eny_avocation or trade, in ehort, to ““run the whole mechine.” The logical result of i oat his theory of Government xu%nlau'an of finance and “trade would be despotism. 2r. Boutwell believeés in that system of pater- nal government which in France, after steadily progressing from tho time of Louis XIV., culminated in the police-espionage sysiem of TLonis Nepoleon, and the natural reaction from which was the Commune. The progress of this rotective paternal spiritis elaborately described ¥ Buckle in his History of Civilization : ry’iing is referred to one of “In France, evel common centré.” Everything that is done must ‘pedone 2t headquarters. The Government is Delieved to see everything, know everything, znd provide everything, The whole business of the State is conducted on the supposition that Do man either knows his own interest, or is fit to take care of himself. With this view the people, even. in their ordinary s#musements, are watched and carefully superintended. In theirfairs, at their thestres, at their concerts, there are always soldiers present tosce that no mischiefis done. Eventhe educa- tion of children is brought under the control of the State. As the French, while men, are never et sdone, &0 while children they are never left elone. In short, without multiplying instances, it ia enough to say that in France, a8 in every other country where the protective principle is metive, the - Government has established a monopoly.of the worst kind. The consequenco of all this has been that the French, thougha great and splendid people a peopla fall of met~ i!s and abounding 1n knowledge, have always becn found unfit to exercise political power.” ‘Tre foregoing views of Buckle, a8 to the dwarf- ing effect on the public mind of the paternal protective theory of government have been sus- tained by the events of the last few yeara in France. ‘The epirit of protection, of ‘Govern- ment supervision, and surveillance, once set to work, never can be stopped short of despotism and the corsequent necessity of revolution. This is the characteristic tendency of all Mr. Boutwell's idess of managing Government and finances. . ELEVATORS AND INSURANCE. An cid and well-known insurance man sends us the following, tonching the *moral hazard” in tho insuranceof grain elevators in the present demoralized condition of the warehouse system: Zo the Editor of The Chicago Tritune In instructions o agents, all carefal and sa~ gacious underwriters always insist on the im- “ortance of the moral hezards involved, in writ- icg policies of insurance. The agent is to know with whom he i3 dealing, and who he is indors- ing, as worthy to be trusted with the interests of the company represented, and the safety per- haps of an entire community. If the applicant is unknown,—if be is a migratory merchant, or in bad credit, or_of dissolute habits or associs- tions.—he isto be avoided. The company can hope for 10 good from hik cash, or his compan- ifonehip. Axud not only is hs to bo shunned, but the agent is to avoid the neighborhood s well. 1t wil not do to imsure him, or uny interest cxposed by his contiguity. Tho Jocality becomes suspected and taboooed, and ‘horzat and civii paople are 1hus mado to Fuifer by couses over which they kave very Lilie or no =ontrol at all But the principal controlling in this case is essential to all legiiimate undervriting, 2nd must be observed for the safety of the profes- &ion not only, but for the preservation of com- mercial integrity as well. If rogues may avail themselves of public inetilutions in -this way, the institutions are bnt pests which the body- politic had better be 1id of by the shortest cut. And hereinis involved o problem of vast mo- mient to this city, and tho honest men doing business here. Chicago has the largesy eleva- tors, and bandles more grain than any other city )perations of such stu- of the entire world, c pendons magznitude should be divested puspicion, for the of all taint of good of .the city and tho _ honor of human natare. To admit that dishonesty £nd crime can be tolératéd, or winkéd at, ona scale 5o vast, is to endanger the entire founda- tions of commerce and sociel life, and to intio- duce us to a hopeless moral chaos. But this is 2 question in which the undereriter and his hon- west grein-dealing patron, has the highest possi- $lo interest. Itis, infact, o quostion of con- tinued existence, with the latter. Ho is often estended far beyond his individusl means, and if he cannot get insurance on his vast ventures, his credit is gone, and he must quit the busi- ness. But if gamblers and cheats—desperate men ~who do not besitate to panel their grain bins Aor purposes of deception, nor to issue grain re- ceipts re%reseutmg no grain as long as they can sell them.—are copartners in these common .deposits of the cereal wealth of the country, what are the underwriters to do, when asked to issuo policies __thereon ? while cautioning their ageats to avoid Chatham or Wells streots, us the resorts of petty larceny gascals. Shall they disregard all warmng indica~ tions of- danger, deposits ot maybe the intorest of Some- body to become an incendiary,—to cover a fraud, or to realize on & fiction &8 that dishonest dreams-are made of ? TFires in elovators are not infrequent, and #hot journals ” may have eased more than _cne rogue’s shouldérs of an immierise responsibility.” ome ten years since an elevatdr wag' burned at Toledo, Ohio, and the insurance companies were called on’ fo-pay fora large amount of grain s2id to have been stored therein. They faled. . ; The elevator was rebuilt and refilled, and the person who had charge of tho former Ie- tained his position in the new structure. Ho was both bookkeeper and general fsctotum in the concern, and knew more sbout its affairs than anybody else. His salary was some 31,200 per year, ou of which it was obsorved that- he sx?parted his family well, and maintained con- siderable style and consequence. At the end of seven years, the second elevator burned also—and again, the underwriters were invited to *‘walk up and settle.” " They walked up—and settled some very eerious problems at least. The most prominent of all was this: The custodian of thesa huge interests was a rascal— rich out of the plunders from this elevator and the frauds committed on underwriters and others. He went down to the Columbus stone yard for a few years. e Thie disclosures then and there made were im- })ortmxt and valusble to.the underwriting worls They eaw an clevator inall its moral and material ““bearings,” and could calculate very well there- from where future friction and damage might be apprehended. ey at any rate would limit their risks where that agent and bookkeeper was retained in charge. ' - ; it Sowing the same seed here in Chicago, ey w4 not well look for a similar harvest ? And were alithe elevator ana. interests of the conntry in hands similar to t! cited at Toledo, would not underwriters ;be called mad and unworthy of Cguliu credit-shonld - they - continue to write such precarions hazards ? Nothing but a thorough reform of the entire grain trafiic can make it respéctable, or .render policy writing thereon, safe and remunerative. LOCAL STOOK: AND BOND MARKET.

The receipts of most descriptions of produce were liberal for this partof the year, and the shipments were gmall, as isusual at this season.
