Georgo 8. Doutwell had not once ‘been Boorotary of {ho Tressury of tho Unlied Btatos, and for a number of yoars controlled and dispoaad of the hundreds of millions of tho pub- Yo revenne in a moro summary manncr tian any, other finanolal sutocrat in tho world, his viowa pri finance, as oxprossed in his lecture in this tity on last Saturdsy ovening, would not bo worth more than a passing notice. But, coming -a8 ho does with this prestigo of his former posi- tion, and espocially at this junoture, whon it is belleved that & few weoks honco ' Congross will be ongaged in Lot dobate on cortaln financial measuros, his opinions would seem to call for somo farthor consideration, In regard totho prosont volumo of E)‘ngm- -mouey, he_awives at tho conclusion that its de- prociation below par proves that THERE 1§ TOO MUCH CURRENGY. The recent panio taught the great majority of thoughtful mun-.—mm&:t whom until then had thought otherwiso,—that ono groat dofect of our currenoy system is its cast-iron rigidity and tho Ilogal limitation of its volume. Dutit nlso taught thom that tho cauec of its deprociation was in tho fact that it {8 not redeomed in apecio according to tho contract at the time of its issuo, and that overy greonback is a repudiated promise of the Government to pay money, It muet be borne in mind that we “have no real monoy in ciroulation in this country. Wo do all businoss on credit—on promises*to pay money. But in tho panio, when the credit of individuals and corporations collapsed, the Govornment credit, though suffering from repudistion of romisos to pay, was tho best that was to bo Afild; henoo tho groat domand for Government notes. The forcod logal-tonder of Government notes had shut out tho uup%ly of roal money that would Liave coma from tho rest of the com~ miercial world to pay for our immenso crops. In "this' emergenoy,” psople triod to fransact the buainess of the conntry by an expansion of pri- vate and corporate crodit, as shown in the . areaso of oheokn, dratts, notes, bills, and other “evidencos of dobt just bofore tho panio. It was - soon found, however, that this kind of currency. was getting disproportionato to the logal tendora ~and National Bank notes, and, when ons or two failures occurred, tho fear that this immonse amount of private and corporate promines-to- pay-money could not Lo cleared with the small vnfnml of groenbacks and baunk-notes turned into a panic.” If there is any losson to be learnad from the recent panic, it is that in sensons of cactivo busineas the volume of our papor moucy "ia -too emall and infloxible, and that it is do})re:‘mad because it is mot redeomed in spocie, but also that tho moro this arbitrary oxclusive currenoy is increasod, the more will it “bo dopreciated. “This, then, is the dilomma which demands that wa should got_ont of this ; confusion and antagonism of principles by re- rturning to BPECIE PAYMENTS. But on thia topie Mr. Boutwell's idens aro ag lilogical a8 on the cause of the dopreciation of the ourrency. Experience has taught us that, whenover gold steadily deolines for » number of months, thoreis a dopreesion of trade. Why? Bocauso all shrowd people seo that it will bo™ a more profitable speculation tohoardthe currency thas-~ is appreciating sv fast. than to hold any kind of commodity. ‘This was the experience in 1871, when gold declined from 115 in Beptember to 1084 in Docomber. +- Tt was also one of tho causes that prolonged the depression in the recent panic, Even Ar. Boutiell admita that—to use his own words— “ tnore will be n gradual prossuro upon ovory man in businoese while this procoss (of the de- cline of gold) goshon.” And yet Mr. Boutwell, atter all hig pmnumgfinn to:be an authority on finance, cun see no hotior way out of this difli- culty than to Iot the business of the country ex- pand unhilit shall make 8o great s distross for Bomothing to call *“money " that it shall forco the repudisted promises of the Gov- ernment up to par with gold, In other words, == that it shall make the valuo of & promise that is nover ful- filled equal to the thing promised; in short, that non-payment shall be equal to paymont, for this is the logical conclusion of his ides ex- prossed as followa : By the increaso of business, by the development of re- gouzcea of the country, by the removal gradually of tho the balance of trade, or the diminution from year to yoar of tho balance of trada between this and other countries, weshall, in s poriod of time,—I cannot say whother it will be one, two, three, or five years, but in & period of time,—wa shall Teach ‘the point when coin and paper will bo commerclally of tho same value, With his eye fixed on this chimera, the great Groton financier contomplatos with_compla- sency the alternating eras of speculativo fevor that will come,—one year with the rise of gold and of panio ohill tho noxt with its decline, Notwithstanding the oxporienco—upon which Mr. Boutwoell lays 8o much stress—that in the 1aat five years gold has declined from 140 to 110, it is an unavoidable conclusion to nny reason- sblo person, that greenbacks and gold Wil nover come permanently to s par except by some act of the. Government, either to rodoem its notos g specie or to fund them 2nd get thom out of 0 Way. During Mr. Boutwell’s adminiatration of the Treasury, he betrayed such an arbitrary dieposi- tion and such narrow-minded viows thatit is not surprising ho should be so much in love with thia arbitrary and inflexible volume of repudin- tive oman‘ug, that he should rogard the possible ,»ddition tothe currency of the $200,000,000 of coin oow in the country as .~ AGEEAT MISFORTUXE. Ho fears that, If by any meacs this coin could bs brought into ciroulation, it would cause specula- .tion and inflation of pricen, and cites the oxample of Gormany, whore the “unnatural” additionofa thousand millions of dollars in specie to the money of the country, by the payment of the' Fronch indemnity, has caused & rise in the prices of proporty, and a speculative fover which he ‘predicta ‘“will be followed by the gradual with- rawal of this coiu to tho great centres of finance and business, where it Empm’ bolongs ; .that movement to b followed by panie and dis- aster in Gormany." Mr. Boutwoll undoubtedly eaid moro truth than ho knew of, when ho eald this cuin would Bo whero it belonged, Undoubtedly much of it **proporly belongs" in the United Siatos, andit iy comiog hore in pito of the ombargo we put upon’ its circulation by the Legal-Tondor act, To -bflnq this coin into circulation would not be an “uunatural” addition to the circulat- ing medium, as Mr, Bouiwell claims, but -only the rncefpt of tho monoy lnuitlmntefy due us on the balauce of our foreign tiade., ‘Tho very fact that tho specie sccumulates in this country now in spite of our forced ciroulation of papor money, proves that tho volumo of our money {3 inadequate to the volumse of our busi- “ness, ' " But perhfigu tho most emplirical opinion uttered by Mr, Boutwell in his lecturo was in rogard to FUEE DANKING, on which he gavo vent to tho following Jaok- Bunebyism : ‘This, of courne, meéans an fncreaso in tho volume of currency, and, thercforo, o syntem of froo banking, tho noted of 'tho Lauka o ba'rodosmablo in United Btates natca meaus infiation of tho curronoy, sud an increase of prices and spoculstion, Thereford, upou that simple statoment, wo should reach the couoluslon that fro bunking ought not to b coepted aa tho pol ioy of tho country, The meaning of tho torm “Inflation” whon applied to currency implios inoreaso of quantity and deterloration of quality. Now, we_boliove "that if tho rostriction on the volume of National Bank ciroulation to & maximum or §351,000,000 wero removod, and overy bauk in every Btate allowed to issuo juat as muoh circulation as it could pubt up "bonds for, thore would Bmhubly bo an inoresso of 85,000, 00 or $10,000,000 of National Dank ciroulation por Bunum for four or five years, But if this in- cresso of bank'notes wau not accompaniod by ual inorease of greenbaocks, tho effect :? the change in tho proportions of bank-notes and greonbacks in oireu- Iation would only bo to jucroasa tho walue of both, ause it. would moke wmore prospect of tho National Banks Laving to sedoom thelr notes in specle, instead of making nominal redemptions, as now, In greenbaocks, have agyeed to redoeiy thols notey olthior in spocio or {n groonbacks, and if tho Int- tor aro mado, relatively, moro sonrco, It in- croauus tho chianco of tholr bolng obliged to ro- deom In specie, It mny bo sot down as anaxiom in connection with onr curronay, that the lo- fintion I8 from tho character of the greenbacks alone, aud not from tho bank notes. “I'ho lattor are rodoomablo in groonbacks, and _wlil always s worth just a8 much a8 tho greonbackn, Tho valuo of tho ourronoy thoratore deponds upon what tho Govornmont™ dooa toward the rodomp- tion of its ropudiatod notes, and not upon the amount of National Banl notes in clroulation, TIE PIOPOBED 8.05 PER OENT DOKDA. Mr. Boutwoll noxt proceeded to discuss the plan—whicli {8 now rocoiving oconsldorablo sup- gort-ol allowing porsons who may hold United inton notos to prosont thom at thio Tronsury of the United Btatos, or at the oflico of an_Asslat- ant Tronsurer, and rocoivo for thom bonds bear- ing intorost ab9.05 or 4 por cont por sunum, wl?h tho additioual priviloge that, whonevor tho holdor of such bonds may desiro the notes again, ho may prosent the bonds and rocoive the notes with tho acoumulated intoroat added. Tho first objeotion of the lecturer to this proposition was ominently Boutwellian : Ho did not seo how tho Covernment was undor any moral obligation to EnKlmtnmat on its past-duo paper. To oarry out Mr. Boutwoll's principlos to thelr logical conclusion, he should hold that the Governmens, haying once folstod this legal- tonder papor upon the paoplo, is in no way bouod to rodsem it at all, Procooding, then, to considor the practica effoct of tho inter-convertible bond schemo on the volume of the ourroncy, ho snggested that under the manipulation of a oliquo of spoou- lators ‘*it might happen, that 100,000,000, 200,000,000, $300,000,000, ‘sud oven $360,000,~ 000 might bo roturned to tho Troasury and bonds rocoived;” thay this would bo dono for the purposo of deprossing prices of com- moditios, and that, when tho sald clique got ready to moll, thoy wonld suddenly prosont Inrge blocks of thoso bonds at the Tremsury for Teconvoralon into groonbacke, and, with tioso, inflate tho currency and causo & spoculative nd- vanco in prices. Truly, this is a wondorful flight of {magination! 1t scoms nover to havo ontored into the cnmé\mhannlva Boutwollian mind that the approhended oliqua could, undor no circumatances, lock up any money but their own, and that they can do that now just as well ag thoy could with the aid of the '8 65-100 per cont Londs, Arldo from Mr. Boutwoell's flights of fanoy. about tho 8 66-100 per cont bond schomo, it may bomafely assumod thatif the groonbacks ro- colvod!for the 8 65-100 gur cent bonds aro kopt in tho Treasury, it would caunso a groat contrac~ tion of tho greenbacke. If thoy are paid out in tho purchase of 5-208, as they probably would bo, there would only bo contragtion to the extent of tho balanco of greonbacks kugt on linnd by tho Treasury to meot any possiblo demand for the reconversion of bonds into groonbacks, which wonld be very small fudeed. If the proposed 805-100 por cont bonds aro issusd in emall denominntions, say @100, $60s, and 3258, thoy wul to some _extont oiroulate aw currenoy, bo- cause tlmngh not a lognl-tender thomsolvos, they would bo convertibleinto legal-tondors, and vico versa, U'his fact would keop the new bonda and greenbucks always ot par with oach othor. According to the %’nsnul market valuo of the 56-20 bonds of the United States which is now about par in gold, the value of & 865-100 por cont gold intorost bond, should be about 03 contsin gold. This would Lo its legitimate valuo a8 on inveatmont in accordanco with the rates of intorest in tho commercial world, Tho issuo of tho proposed Londs would, tharofore, fix the valuo of groonbacks at about 93 cents in old, and this would be their value, even if tho egal-Tondor act wore raponled, The ropoal of the Legal-Tendoract (oxcopt for debis contracted prior to such repeal) would, howorer, under such circumstances cause tho groenbacks to gradually disnppear from circulation, and bocome absorbed in bonds as fast ns spocio camo Into the country to supplys now basis of redomption for tho new bank curroncy that would be issucd after the ropenl of the act. ‘Wo night toke up almost any other point in Mr. Boutwell's lecture, and show how tho samo narrow viows which murked his adminiatration of tho Treasury will probably govern his courso 08 & Sonator, but theae are enough, Mr. Boutwell's uttorauces on the eubjoot of financo remind us of » woll-known fable about au animal who porsuaded his indulgent parents to obtain for him o lion's skin in which to go masqueradiog about tho world. At great cost aud inconvenioncs to thomselves, they provided him with tho disguiso ho had begged for; ‘Pnd in it ho atrutted forth, believiog himsolt & very lion. But, owing to tho longth of his osra nnd tho discordauco of his bray, when he tried roar- ing, he was discovered, and men only pelted and Janghed at him, until bo was glad to” run homo lenving bis brave coat behind, T'ho moral of this little story applied to Mr. Boutwell, is that the fact of having been Secro- tary of tho Treasury docs not by any means mako & man a financier, or even a respoctable reasoncr. When we recall the fact that a man of this calibre conirolled tho finnnces of tho nation, with an sutocratic will, for four yoars, what o significant commentary it affords upon tha systom of patronago which gives such places to potty partisan polticians !
