WALL STREET, } Tuurspay, April 2—6 1’. M. From the early days of the national government there bas always been a fixed and well defined Dnancial policy. For nearly a century the efforts of successive administrations have been directed to the maintenance of the puvilc credit, not merely by the gradual extinguishment of all loans, but by the cancellation of all obligations made for tempo- rary, permanent or special purposes. It has been | reserved for tle stock jobbers of the Forty-third | Congress to set at naught these teacnings of his- | tory, to walk backward in their reach for honora- bie results, a © demand @ policy that is written | all over with repudiation and disaster. The nation fs in the nands of poiltical charlatans, The specu- lator has taken the place of the patriot and the demayogue occupies the seat Of the statesman. As a consequence the country is on the edge of a Jearful financial crisis. Present facts and past experience, nistory and principle, all have been ignored, and we stand face to face with an ex- panded irredeemabie currency, uncalled for and upnecessary, an«t carrying in its trail such evils as | Dave not been encountered since the fatal hours of Let some of THE FATHERS OF THE REPUBLIC George Washington said to Congress in The state of the national finances is now suMciently matured to enable you to enter upon a Systematic and effectual arrangement for the regular redemption of the public debt, according to the right which has been reserved to the gov- ernment, No measure can ve more desirable, whether viewed with an eye to its intrinsic im- portance or to the general sentiment and wish of the nation.” | In bis sixth annual Message, in 1794, Washington | again wrote :—‘Whatever is unfinished of our sys- tem of pudiic credit cannot be benefited by pro- | crastination, and as far as may be practicable we @ught to place that credit on grounds which can- ot be disturbed, and to prevent that aggressive accumulation of debt which must ultimately en- @anger all governments.” Again :—‘Whatsoever will tend to accelerate the honorable extinction of our public devt accords as much with the true interests of the country as with the general sense of our constituents.” Fi- Baily, in bis Fareweil Address, Washington adds: “As @ Very tmportant source of strength and secu- rity, 1837. CHERISH PUBLIC CREDIT. Use it as sparingly as possibie, and by vigorons ex- ertions in time of peace discharge the debts which Bnavoidable wars have occasioned.” President Adams, in 1797, wrote to Congres: “The consequences arising from the continued ac- cumulation of public debts in other countries ought to admonish us to be careful of their growth du our own case.” President Jobn Quincy Adams, in 1827, says “Ideem it my duty to urge this topic upon the consideration of Congress—o! recommending to them the observance of the strictest economy in ‘the public funds,”’ It was only in 1834 and 1835 that the country was entirely out of debt, and at a celebratien in nouor » @f the event President Jackson offered the follow. ing sentiment :—“The payment of the public debt: Let us commemorate it as an event which gives us increased power as @ nation and réfects lustre on our Federal Union, of whose justice, fidelity and wisdom it is a glorious fllustration.” Later, in | 1969, our own PRESIDENT GRANT said, in relation to the financial question:— “Tne return to a specie basis as soon as it can be accom. plished without material detriment to the debtor clase or to the country at large must be provided for. To protect the national honor every dollar of National indebtedness should be paid im gold, un- Jess otherwise stipulated in the contract.” Secretary Richardson likewise fairly refiectea the views of his illustrious predecessors, wien he uttered in his last report the following memorabie words:—“Any large augmentation of the issue of United States legal tenders tn time of peace would bot only be a departure from that ‘declaration of public policy and pledge of the public faith to the ational creditors’ made in the act of June 30, 1464, as well as from that more solemn pledge con- tained in the first act of tne Forty-first Congress, ‘to make provision at the earliest practicable period for the redemption of the United states notes in coin,’ but would postpone the day of Bpecie payments and render it more diMcult to attain in the distant future, unsettle confidence in our national finances and be a serious detrimdut to public credit at home and abroad,” Can any language be more explicit, can any pur- pose be more plain? Do not the foregoing views illastrate and describe the true financial policy of this government in time of peace? And is there any reason beyond that which is furnished by the *peculator to warrant departure irom the teacn- ings of these words of wisdom? The possivility of a new tssue of inconvertible paper I regard with amazement and anziety, and, im my judgment, such an tssue would be a detri- ment and a shame.—CHARLES SUMNER. THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, The price of legal tenders to-day, as compared with gold, is 4 cents. The diderence is the tax paid by the consumer. The receipts trom internal | revenue to-day were $321,084. The recetpts from | customs were $448,000. ‘The outstanding legal | tenders are unchanged.

The London advices that the Governors of the Bank of England, at their meeting to-day, did not advance the Bank rate of discount, and that the latter still stands at 54 per cent, were not unan- licipated, the reports yesterday having removed all question with reference to the rumored dis- | | bo quiet on the English Exchange.

The Virginias are the same as iast quoted, THE STOCK MARKET may be compared to a balloon swaying in the wind aud waiting ascent.
