— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Hore About Legal Terders and Their Relation- ships—Shall We Disobey Law ? Railroad Affairs in the West— Thoughts for the East. JHE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY The Stock Market Fluttering and Respon- sive to the Indecision of Congress. MONEY EASY AND GOLD STRONG. WAL STREET, MOonDAY, Feb. 16—6 P. wu. } Another petition is in circulation among the | bankers, brokers and merchants protesting | against an increase of tie legal tender issue, and | asking Congress to fund the amount of the reserve | already published or to coutract the same upon nome proper basis, $0 that the sum outstanding shall not exceed $356,000,000, and that a step be taken | ‘Mm the direction of gradual resumption, Lf there M$ aby quesiiop in finance or political economy ‘that is settled, it is that an inconveruble and de- preciated paper money is injurious to the interesta Of trade anda public evil Nay, itdoes more. It d@emoralizes the people by compelling them to cir- culate a fraudulent, disreputable and dis- honored currency. In the language of Mr, McCulloch, when he was the Secretary of the ‘Preasury, “there can be no doubt that the Legal Tender acts have tended to blunt and deaden the pubiic conscience; nor that they are cnargeaole in TRO small degree with the demoralization which so generally prevails.’ Mr. Webster, too, im one of his masterly speeches said, “O! al the contrivances tor CHEATING THE LABORING CLASSES of mankind, none bas been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxa- tion—these vear lightly on the happiness of the mass of the community compared with the rop- beries committed by depreciated paper. Our own Ristory has recorded for our imstruction enough, and more than enough, of the demoralizing ten- dency, the injustice and the Intolerable oppres- sion on the virtuous aud the well disposed, of a | @egraded paper currency authorized or in any | ‘Way countenanced by the goverument.”’ The truth | of these words has been demonstrated by the ex_ perience of every nation that has tried the experi- | mept of an inconvertible paper mouey, and if | ‘we of America have not succumbed to THE EVILS DESCRIBED It is because Of tue elasticity resulting from a con- @tantly changing condition, and a growth that | dition on Congress and not nave takem the burden On lus Own shoalders, THE MONBY MARKET was unchanged, and we quote as heretofore ease at 3and 4 per cent on call and government bonds.

RAILROAD BONDS forbids the permanent iafluence ofany great ex- | isting wrong. Real money is not subservient to | statute law, but to buman necessity.

It regulates itself, and never more so than when it is an actual measure of values—gu unyarying yard- stick, Redundancy bas heretofore been OUR MISFORTUNE, Tt has provoked extravagance, tempted great | credits, and brought a panic in which we, as a people, broke down.

When the best managed roads are doing little more than earning enough to pay their interest, and when others are in the market as borrowers for a similar parpose, it would seem to be an inopportune time to attempt to force re- strictive legislation in the shape of pro rata rates and increased taxes. In Wisconsin the Assembly has already passed a bill, by a vote of four to one, increasing the tax on the gross receipts of all Failroads from 3 per cent—the present tax—to & per cent, and now have before them a bill regulating the charges for ireignt and passen- gers, which, if it becomes a law, may make at impossible for the companies to earn enough to pay their running expenses, The Min- mesota Legislature, smarting under the action of the Chicago and Nortnwestern and the Milwankee and St. Paul raiiroads in combining iast fall to Raise the freight on wheat to Milwaukee from 18 to 21 cents per bushel—tue effect of which Was to reduce the price of wheat in all the Market towns of Minnesota just 3 cents per Dushel—are apparently prepared to go to any length mM retaliation for the loss of over $500,000 on wheat ‘they haa ready for market. | TOE FIGHT ®r business between the ratiroads is now extend. ing to eastern bound ireight as well as that going ‘west. Rates have been reduced from Chicago east to such an extent that the usual taking up of ves- sels at this season of the year against the opening of navigation is almost entirely suspended. OUR AUTOCRAT OF THR TREASURY— @ man, by the way, who possesses a power over the finances of this country equal to that of the Czar of Russia—has to-day published another state- ment, which exhibits the present issue of legal tenders at $539,672 less than it was at the same period last week. While Secretary Richardson continues to contract, the conservative and busi- | hess public will not find fault; but for every dollar | that be issues from the so-called reserve he wtil invoke the anathema of the body politic, because the people are being dally indoctrinated with the idea that there is a one man power at work, which, Without authority of law, is exerting a demoraliz- ing influence on all of the pubiic and Private interests of the country, sub- tracting from the possibilities of enterprise and \nvolving us more deeply than ever inthe mire of an irredeemable public debt. Congress, how, ever, \t must be said im justice to Mr, Richardson, | We at chief fauit for this condition of affairs, The | Secretary is simply the wmoner of that body. He | must respond to its past appropriations, pay its | debts and sustain the brunc of Popular censure for every FINANCIAL WRONG that he is compelled to do. We contend, nowever, that he had no right to issue a single dollar of the teserve; that his entire course bas been \ilegai and badly judged, and that if the question were sub- Mitted to the decision of the Supreme Court of tne | Cited States, that body, if true to the teachings of the late Chief Justice Chase, would maintain | that every dollar of over-issue above the $56,000,000 G@xed by law was unauthorized, unwarranted and iilegal. Mr. Richardson has no right, however, to assume discretion in the premises. As the caster of the government, if he was short of money he a@hould have susowy the reapongipjlity of that con- } | does not actually succumb, | its firmness at 31%.

It has taken sixty days more or less for the leaders to un- load and get out with fair profits, It now remains to be seen what the miscellaneous hoiders will do to preserve the tone which they nave inuerited from the chiela.
