Tho bigliest legislativo body of this Republic seriously debating the question whotlier now issucs of irredeemable curroncy ehould Le resorted to, and arguments made in Bnplmrt thereof which would makoe the civilized world stare. The argument had been dolibor- ntely made on tho floor of the Senate that pre-~ cioua metals could nover more be a standerd of valuo, beeauso they wero not equal to the pro- ducts of industry. As well might it be snid that the yard-stick conld naver more be the standnrd of = measure, beeauee it was not o8 long o8 a roll of cloth, In business contrcs, monoy at prosont is abundant, if not superabundant.

Of this omount, something less than ' §1,000,000 had Foue Sonth and West, nearly all of it being held b Boston, New York, and Philadolphin, He argued that there was an abundauveo all over tho country, causod Dy the large crops, and by tho criss_heving broken down in a great measuro speonlation and gambling, thus roleasing a largo amount of mcuoy formerly employed in sucn nl:euulnfioua and " now used in the legitimato chonnels of busincss, It was truo that this gumbling and spoculation was being rovived to #omo extent, but it was beiug carried on by a dif- feront class of persons, It would he rovived still furlher by every incrensa in tho issuo of ir- redeomablo papor currency.

If figures proved nnyihinf thoy proved that tho monsuro conld be carried ont with- out adding ono dollar to the contracta for corrylng the mails, It was usoless to concenl tho fact that tho proposition to abolish tho Agri- cultural Bureau stood right bohind the opposi- tion to this bill, In his judgmont, nothing could bo more untimely aud moro uncalled for than tlio blow nimed nt the great and inflexible in- dustry of the nation in the attempt to strike down'its only recognizoddepartmont in the Gov- ernment, and what was true in respect to agri- cultural roports applicd more or leks to thoe cone sus roports, Presidont’s message, ole.
