Iho Ministors Minghotti and Finali accordingly prosonted such aroport in tho apring of 1875, which hag recont- Jy been pablishod, ‘Tho report itsalf ia not » Jong documont ; but apponded to it, and forming the largest part of tho yolnmo, 18 an historical momoir of great length, proparod by Signor Romanolli, Socrotary of tho Council of Commorco and industry, upon the ' Forend Currenoy [Corso Forzoso] iu Italy, aud Ita Effects on Public Economy and tho Fi- naucos, from May 1, 1866, to Juno 39, 1871." It is, In offoct, a financlat history of Itely during that period. Taken altogothor, tho report and tho momoir constitute ono of the MOST VALUADLY RECENT CONTHINUTIONS to tho history of paper-money and to tho gen- eral curroncy discussion. , Spocio-paymonts were suspended in Italy on the latof May, 1860. Tho immediate occasion wor the war by Prussia against Austris, in which italy took part as the ally of Prussia; ‘but tho romoter causca aro to bo traced ta tho political rovolution in Italy, by which tts diffor- ‘ont sections wero united under tho Sardinian Crown, ‘Ihia revolution ontailod npen the Gov- ernment greatly-increnacd oxnondituros, and wrought oqually important changes in tho induetry and trado of the country, From 1861 to 1665 ropeated doficits bi ocour> red in tho budgot, aggrogating a sum of £4100, 000,000 (wo convert tho Italian Ura into our monoy nt the rato of five lire to the dollar). To meet those doficite, tho Government had con- tracted loans to tho amount of $500,000,000, be- sides selling the State railways, sionatiag sud mortgaging tho public domains, and largely in- crenaing tnxos, Public expondttnros had rison from @162,000,000 to $214,000,000 o yoar; and the consolidated & par cents (renle) hind fallon froin 65, at the boptuntng of 1866, to 43 at tho end of April. Tho effecting of new loans waa practically impossiblo, Tho state of commercial ‘affairs was oqually unsatis- factory; in tho four ones, 1862 to 1865, tho im- ports had excented the oxports, War-oxpenses, works of intornal {eupravemont undertaken by the Government, the Communos, and tho Proy- inces, and a great increaso ln industrial plant, had united in creating s largo foreign dobt, gop- rosented by public stucka and tho bonds anid shares of zailays and other compauics, Tho intorost payablo abrond jncronsed from $7,000,- 000 in 1861 to $18,000,000 in 18641. Intho carly part of 1866 tho atato of cradit in Europe grow rapidly worse, culminating in Moy in tho mamorable English crisia of that goar. ae genoral atringonoy fell soveroly upon Italy, an SALTED THE VOUNTAING OF IER OREDITIN FOREIGN COUNTRITS, Her public securitios, which had hoon bofore fargoly iold In Drance, returned to the country, sud foll asa now burden upon an overloaded market. ‘Tho banks wero drawn npon heavily, aud resorted to all the customary expodients for rostating o drain of their resources. But, in spite of every precaution, they astondily lost ground, and ‘saw their metallic stock melting away. Tho Iargor banks of Sardinia and Tuscany imported specio, and got asuint- ance from tho Rothschilds; but these expedionta only served to postpone the crisis which imponded, and which they would bavo beou powerlora to prevent. When war bocame immulnent, and military propsrations wero be- gon, tho’ Government could no longer remain inactive, ‘I'he Financo Sfiniator (Scinloja), though opposing the suspension of spocio-pny- monts up to the Jags moment, became satisfied that, on the eyo of a war of which it was ine porriblg to foresoa other tho vicissitudes, tho duration, or tho cost, uo othor altornative remained. A till was accordingly introduced and passed on tho 30th of April, authorizing the Government to provide by extraordinary moens- ‘ures for the oxponditures nocossary to the pub- hho dofenss ; and, on the following day, specie- payments were suspended by Royal decreo, ‘To show tho offect of this moasure, Siguor Romsnelli bas solocted YOM PRINCIPAL DATA, which ho pressuts in_an olfective mannor by A Blatistical chart; ay Tis price of sight-bills in geld at Gonon on Paris; (2) the price of tho consolidated 6 por cont bonds (renfa) on the Paris Bourse ; (3) the promium on gold at Gonon; and (4) the circulation of papor-monoy in.

From that poijut it rove, with some fluctuations, to U0 in the summor of 1870, but fell euddonly to 4684 11 July of that year, npon tho ovent of tho Franco-Prus- ian War.

Italinu manufncturors now, therofore, recognizo ag fully ax the Govorn- mont, or the people, who aro tho great con- suniers, that this expanded and foveriah state of tho curroney {s oxtromoly detrimental to their interests. In tho lato dabates, the sontiment of tho Chambors outran tho moro pradent counsels of tho Financo Minister in the diraction of ‘A RETURN TO BOUND MONEY. ‘Tbe Commission appoluted to report upon the proposed Banking law wished to ingort a pro- vision roquiring thu Govorumont to present, within six months, o wcbema for retiring tho forced currency by s sinking fund, Dat Signor Minghottl porsusded the Chambora to suspond this Imperativo obligation until he could more earofully oonsidor the possibility of complying with it, Tho law of 1874, the provisions of which wo ghali explain furthor on, was concodod on all handy to be “a law of prep aration only,—that ts to say, 8 law which should bo followed by other laws aud provisions, in- tended to alloviatoand gradually rumove the iu- furious effects of tho forced curroncy, and pro- vide for its oxtinction at tho earliest possible momout.” Sfany mombors desired 8 moro sum~ mary proceeding, but nabody was found to ad- yucate s {prolonged susponsion on the ground that paper was tho ‘poople'a money,” or that ‘ett stimulated " trade, After putting tho law of 1874 into oporatlon, and witnossing {ts offecta for nearly s yoar, snd after osrofully considering the proposals which had beon made in tho Chambora for more spocitia action In the direction of resuming spevia-paymouts, the Finacno Minister caine to the conolusion that no moro decisive steps could a yot bo adopted. ‘I'bo finances of Italy are in a vory difforont atate from those of this country. While our revenues afford an anuual surplus, which haa enabled ua to pay off many hundrods of millsong of our debt within the past ton yoars, the Italian Treasury has experienced continued anoual doficita, {n consoquonico of which the pub- lio debt of Italy has toon increasod almost as much as ours ‘has boon diminished. Signor Minghottl, therefore, yery justly arguos that, until there is a surplus in tho National Treasury, as woll ag 6 commorctal balance in favor of tho country, it would bo worse than usologa to force rosutaption, In arriving at this conclusion, ho disousacs at fongth ‘TWO ALTERNATIVE METHODS proposed for roaching that rogult: (1) imme- diate resumption by moans of a largo luau; (2) gradual resumption, or pfrevaration for reguinp- tion, by moans of aalnking fond. As tos lono, it would bo nucoseary to borrow not less than 200,000,000, which is the amount of quas!-Gav- ernment paper authorized by tho act of 1874, ‘Tho issuo of such s loan, whilo tho oxiating 6 por conti are Ao much bolow par, would etill further do- pross their prico, add largely to the annaal in- teroat, require the imposition of now taxca, and goncaally disturb trade. Tho bronze-token coin- ‘age, of which €15,000,000 is now in circniation, would enocdily be roduced to its old amount of 4,000,000, ad tho balance would havo to be ro~ doomed in gold, Alosn made undor such cir- cumstances would fneroase tho aunual doticit of tho Budgot $10,000,000 or 812,000,000 and would bo very likely to bring abont a commercial crisis, and a now and moro hopeloss suspension, Tho creation of the eluking fuad, though not go immediatoly dangerous, woul land almost as cortalnly to the samo embarrzysments, and it would bo a very slow romedy, since an appro- pristion to the sinking fund of $10,000,000 n year would not retire the 200,000,000 of paper, tor which tho Government ia responuiblo, be- fore 1894, Small ay sack an angual appropria- tion would be, so lung an tho reyendo {is de- ficiont, it would have to bo borrowad ; and ro- peated small loans would be rogardod fn Europe 44 moro dotrimontal to the public crodit than a aingle Inrgo one, aa thoy disturb quotations and aro 'o constant romindor of now deficits, ‘fhe old mothod of sinking one debt by the croation of another is now thoronghly exploded, ‘as was shown in the debate on that snbject last summer in the English House of Commons, THE ONLY LEGITIMATE SINKING FUND iw ono doriyod from taxes, or from tho sale or in- come of spceitie property ¢ and, in inost casos, 1 1 far batter to apply tho available mosus diroct- ly'to the debt than to creato a paraltol sinking fund for ils ultimate rodemplion: It was pro- poxod in Italy to croato « sluking fund of this ort by the conversion into rente of tho do- mains hold for charitable unos; bnt to this it was objected, that, so long us the ecclosisstical and public domains (atroady partly hypothocated to the public creditor) remained unsald, it would be usolosa to put more of that kind of proporty upon ho market. Alvan to the Government of the whole ora part of the capital of banks, withou; jutorost, aud in Hen of taxes, was also considered by Signor Minghetti, Such » vlan waa proposod in Austria in 1862, but had thoro failed, While recognizing the duty of tho banks to co-opor- ate actively with the Governmont at tho propor momont In rontoriny a sound currency, ha conuidered that the prosent immobilization of large part of tholr capital would bear heavily upon the industry of tho country, and dimiulab production, which the Goyorumont lave avery motivo to atimulate. Tho wholo tenor of tho report goca to show that there ia no trick of finance, and no ingo- nuity of conjuring, by which the hard roality of e defivit can be convortod into 8 surplus; and that, without s surplus, dobta, however much thoy may bo shifted, caunat bo paid.
