THE: NATIONAL OURRENCY. ‘Eighteen months have now expired since the date at which the Government of the United States formally Began the redemp- tion of United Statesnotes In coin. Thotrus ‘date, however, when specle-payments wero practleally resumed was‘ soveral months enrlicr, The passage of the bill romonetiz- ing silver ovor the President’s veto In March, 1878, was followed by the tapld reduction of the premium on gold, and long before the date fixed for resumption the greenbacks wero at par with both gold and silver. An official statement issued by the Trens- ury Department; dated July 1, 1880, gives some interesting facts in tho history of the currency of the country curing tho twenty: “one years just closed, and covering the whole period of the War and of the suspension of specie-pnyments. On the Istof July, 1860, the total amount of paper currency was that issued by the State banks, and amount- ed to $207,000,000. This sum of State-banic notes had fallen fn 1863 to $13,000,000, but In. that year $149,000,000 of demand and logal- tender notes had been issued by the Govern- mont... Tho circulation of,-the State banks gradually retired after the establishment of the National banks tn 184, and at this tims Jess than $300,000 of that paper fs outstanding, ‘The first notes of the National banks wero issued In 1864, and they reached $209,000,000 In 1807. In 1875 the. total Issue of Natlonal- Lank notes was $354,000,000,—belng the high- ost amount,—and now they number $344,605,- 000, Theoriginal and only Issue of demand notes was $53,000,000, In 1862, nearly all of which» were rapidly retired,- but about $60,000 still remainoutstunding.

They were, like tho one and two year notes, converted into other Interest-bearlng securities, but $243,500 of theso notes aro still outetanding. ‘Tlie frst issue of fractional paper currenoy was in 1883, and In July of that year $20,102,- 450 was tssued, ‘This amount gradually in- creased until 1874, when {6 reached $45,881,- 205, Since then tho issue ‘of that kind of papor hns been discontinued and the old re- acemed, On the Istrof July, 1870, the amount outstanding was $15,842,005, of which $8,975,034 was estimated as lost or destroyed, tenving as tho supposed sum outstanding on Suly 1,.1880, $7,314,054, ‘There 1s no record giving the amount of fractional silver in circulation prior to 1876, At that time the colunge of fractional silver was resumed, antl $24,061,410 of this new coln- age was in clrenjation tn July, 1880, ‘Taking all theso forms of currency ‘out. standing on the lst of July in each year since 1800 down to and Including 1880, and esti- mating their valne-as compared with coln, the total coin valuo of the currency ontstand- ing 18 ascortained. “A few Mlustrattons will show the delusion of depreeinted paper: Cain value Total coin lus « Total 1880, es In 1804 the outstanding - currency was greater by $100,000,000 than In 1880, but its Colt value $418,000,000 less, In 1805 tha out- slanding currency was $248,000,000 greator than In 1880, but. ita cofn value was $43,000,- 000 leas, ae ? ‘The coln value of tho paper dollar on tho lat of July, 1877, preceding the passage of tho Silyer bill, wag 047 cents; on the Ist of July, 1878, belng threo months after the pas- sage of the Silyér bill and alx months before the date fixed for specte-resumption, the coln value of the paper dollar had advanced to 0.4 cents, The passagcot the Silver act had yYemoved every ity of the Government not only to resume specle-payments, but also to maintain thom, In the same way and for the saime reason the presence in tho ‘Treasury of an accymulat- ing store of silver coln}s a permanent pro- tectlon sguinst any panic, or apy ryn on the possible doubt os to tha abil-.

A NEW WAR OLOUD. 1 Dispatches from all sltes—from Constantl- noplo, Vienna, Borl!h, Athens, London, and Paris—concur in tho announcement that war is agnin Imminent In southeastern Europe, For two years, the Turks, following thp pase- ive poticy in which they aro such masters, have successfully evaded the demands of the Berlin Treaty by haggling, delaying, promis: ing, apologizing, and, In the end, doing noth" . Now, forced to tho rack by tho supple- mental Conference at Berlin, thoy refuso point blank to entertain any of fits sugges: sullonty defying the unanfmous devision of tho Powers as to the Greek frontier, and are preparing to resist, viet armls. All accounts agree that’ they have commenced to mobilize one of thelr army corps, that thoy are call- ing for volunteers, that) troops aro rapidly ' concentrating at Adrinnople, and that a. portion of thelr fleet. is under orders to proceed to ‘the Adriatic const-of Greeco. upon a voyage of observa- ton. Nor aro the Greeks idle, Thotr troops aro raplily concentrating upon the frontier, and volunteers are coming forward with en- thusiasm. ‘Cho hardy . mountaineers of Montenegro, knowing full well thnt if Turkey will not concede ‘tho Thessalian territory to Greece, thera is no hope of, a concession of Albanian territory to thom, are already upon the war path and -marching to attack ‘Cust and Podgoritzn, near’ thelr southeastern fronticr. It adds to tho-In- torest of all these movements that the time appears to be ripo for the long cons templated union of Bulgaria and Roume- Na Into one province under. Russian ausptees, In which event’ Austria, backed by Germany, wlll advance to Nov!-Bazat, thus penetrating well .| Peninsula on her ultimate march to the Aigean, The old battleground. of 1878, thorefore, to all appearances will speedily bo the theatre of stirring cyonts, and the Greeks, who at that time were dissuaded from taking up arms against Turkey by English advice, cannot bo dissunded again except through the atultification of the Powers. 3 y ‘The Berlin Conferenco ended tho passive tain portion of the Eplrian and Thessalian, territory to Greece, if she had, remained passive all that Greece had to do would be to: go in and take I, Turkey was brought to that pass where thorg cotild ba no further de- Iny or quibbiing. » She must elthor give it-up or fight..She has chosen to fight, and now what will the Powers’do? Are they ready to compol Turkey to carry out their demands? And how far can they proceed -without o collision between their own Interests? ‘The Eastern question 1s so intlinately Involved in? English, ‘Russian, French, Austrian, and German interests that it has never yet been touched without Imme- «lately bringing these Interests Into cullision, It has heretofore been intimated that Franco never would be a party to the forelble selzuro of territory from tho ‘Turks, Austria and Russia have confltcting interests arowing out of the proposed union of Bulgaria and:Rou- melia, and England still has lingering sympa. “thies for the Turks, and always will so long ns thoy are indebtto her. And yet,it Is evl- dont that It would. be worse “than folly to continue the farce of temporlzing, sug- gesting, advising, or oven menacing Turkey, Tho Lurks care nu more for moral sunsign thon they do for tho wind that blows. Thoy ennnot afford to allow a war to progress. If Greece should be too weak to withstand the ‘Turks and thus bé pravented from taking the territory awarded her by the Powers, the ‘Treaty of Berlin would go to shreds and the yeaca of Europe would ‘bo disturbed. .If Grecee, on tho other hand, should make a stubborn fight ana show herself able to pro- long the war, the already shattered finances of Turkey would be hopelesly wrecked‘ and her political administration would be thrown inte: irremediable confusion. European Intervention, therefore, appears to te a necessity, and what shape that will tako and what results it will produce must be largely determined by the conflict- ing Intorests of the Powers thomsclyes, If they cannot settle upon a satisfactory. divis- lon of the plunder among themeelyes, then theGovernment must bo administered by. -Evrdpean Commission, Either ono of these, methods would bo satisfuctory to the clvil-. ized world, as it would mark the closo of one of the worst despotisins that have ever cursed Enrope, and would end the rule of' a race which In four centuries has not lifted o finger to help tho advancement of tha. world, and hag never contributed even to the value of natraw to tho world’s. civilization, Its only record fn all this tine has been one of cruolty and oppresalon, een ‘Tne fast of Dr, ‘Lanner In-New York is an answor to a cballongo of Dr, Willem H, Ham~ mond, former Surgeon-Genoral of the Army, | ‘Dr. Hammond stated in a pamphict digoussing thoMollle Fancher onse that it was hipossible fora human bolug to live. thirty daya without. food; and offered to givo $1,000 to nuy person who should succood in doing sq, under tho watoh of a committee of oxperts, Dr. Tannor was a temperance locturor in Minnesuta, Ho hnd boasted to his friends that ho had ‘lived forty-two duys without food, Tho discredit thrown on the Mollie Fincher case rulned Tans nora reputation as a faster,, He undertook to retatabliah It, by gulng on to New York and accepting.
