10 NEW YORK HERALD, MO LITERATURE. A LOCAL NOVEL—‘‘ALL FOR DIM.” Tho author of that singularly exciting novel, story, ever you choose to call it, ‘All For Her,’ is put with another book in tho same vein entitled ‘All For Him” (George W. Carleton & Co.) Like its pre- decessor the scene of this story is laid in New York, and streets and numbers are given to make it more roal. Also, like the other story, this one begins with a murder, and the plot hinges on tho discovery of the murde: There 18 a great deal that is clever about tho book, but there 18. want of connectedness, or rather wont of compactness, about it which proves it not to be the work ofa literary man. The author has a way of rambling off in a curious fashion ter the sake of air- Ing a pet theory or telling a story. For example, he takes up some thirty odd pages inthe heart of the book to toll a ghost story that has no carthly bearing upon the plot, Another fault of the book is that the author enters too minutely into certain offensive de- tails of the dissecting room, and of sea sickness. ‘The story opens at Congress Hall, Saratoga, where part of the body of a young woman is discovered packed away in a trunk, the other part having been sent to the Delaware Water Gap. The murdered woman was the mistress of aman about town, who murdered her at No, — West Forty-tourth street, and had ber cut up and packed, as described in the book, Horrible as this 1s it finds its paraliel in tho caso of the unfortunate Alice Bowlsby, Tho best parts of the story are the descriptions of local scenes and famiar personages, All the principal characters Jn the book are said to bo persons known in New York society, Tho author paints New York socioty in very piack colors, and we should be very sorry to think it ag rotten as ho would lead us to believe. He says that the worse a man is known to be, the more corrupt morally, the more ho is admired by tho ladies This we take the liberty of flatly donyiog. A man known to bosuch 4 man as the Charles Barton of this story would not bo tolerated in any circle of New York s0- ciety with the least pretence to decency. The murdered woman was a Now York actress, and in working up the cage tho detectives find their way intoadramatic agoncy in a downtown side strect, which is described as Major G. Latayette Smith's dra- matic agency, and which will bo readily recognized. “While the detective waitea @ young lady walked up the front steps of the plain brick house, aud on ring- ing the bell was ushered into what had formerly been tue deep parlors of the mansion, The front and smaller of these apartments was uncarpeted. There was a glass partition across its stroot end, in which ‘was a little conical window with a shelf beneath It, and the word ‘Casbier” painted above. Tho walls of this room were covered with playbills of every description, Jargo and small, garish in all colors of type and coarse wood tuts. There was Barney Williams in “Tho Emerald Ring,’ and Dan Bryant in “Shaun the Post,” and Tom, Dick ana Harry in almost anything and every- thing else. Over the mantel was a placard displaying jn lettors of gold the announcemont that ‘Ladies and gentlemen will be registered upon payment ct $1, which entitles them to make any inquiries relating to professional affairs for one year. Managers, $5. No questions answered except on payment as above.’ The Barton family are the type of a class, Mr. Barton, the father, was a merchant, who spent most of bis time down in a gloomy pffico in South street, somewhere among tho ship- shandlers, stranded salis and old junk men, where be was supposed to grapplo with ships, with ledgers and somehow or other with the West Indies, Ho wus Ashby, careworn little man, grown bent and gray in” the daily grappling as above, to say nothing of the land- lord’s, the butcher's, tho dressmaker’s, the milliner’s, the furri the jeweller’s, and the florist’s bills sent \o the aforesaid office by Mrs. Rarton and her four marriageable. and-to-be-married-at-all-hazaras daugh- tors, With whatever he grappled, these latter wero probably what throw him theoftenest. For, the Barton family 10 everything, In the giving of dinners, in mat- ters of church pews, carriages, receptions, dresses, lashionable charities, lived sumptaously according to dheir neighbors? ideas of what was fitting and proper— ap to whatever rules their neighbors laid down—and {n everything accorded themsolves to whatever their woighbors insisted the Bartons ought to do,’ ‘The workings of the Post Office and the Dead Letter Difice are described 1m detail, as is an official who will be remembored by all who bad business to transact at the old Post Office. We bope that the likeness of no young lady in New York will be found in Jeannie Barton, who “i her fourth summer out could not have counted her flirta- tions, They were numbered by dozens weekly. Sho would flirt with anybody who was introduced to her, if he was good-looking, and would allow him to palm her toit littic hand at a very early stage of the joint opera- yon. In fact, she bad flirted with almost every man he know by name, Philip alone excepted. All theso iffairs, more or less desperace and socially conspicuous m character, had passed off from Jearnie like water off a dack’s back, Many a man had gone to the prop- or devil on her account. If she did not maintain her own particular cemetery, sho at Jeast contributed largely to the support of the Continent of Europe—to the high wino and to a certain othor trade, fully as prosperous if not as mentiovable, by her affairs. No vod of men were traveling broken-hearted in Europe or Irinking themselves into mild destruction, or forget- ing certain commandmenis, on her account. But pow, for the first time in her life, she had flirted with 4 man whom she could not have, if she should bappon to wanthim, She who bad learned to look upon all men as her own—should she caro to fancy them—was at last confronted with one of the race who was not hers and could not be hers at any price. And the antecedent and proliminary prohibition absolutely sot her into a fever of desire.” Nothing could be much moro vulgar than this de- scription, though of a vulgar woman. The doscrip- tion of a social gathering is bettor and more like the truth:—‘‘fo a stranger the aspect of a New York reccp- tion or evening party 18 that of the reunion in a first class young men’s boarding school, where tho young men wear their first black coats and are permitted to receivo thoir mammas and unmarried aunte, Tho rooms aro full of maturo young ludics, matrona and Deardiess youths, A passable sprinkling of battered old beaux but aid the impression by answering tor the tutors, and the prevalent youngness of the mon is still puptilary. The explanation 18, perhaps, that New York society is too fovorish to long enchain its masculine ole. ments, Mon, asa rule, get enough of the rushing rou- tine—the sameness of Siraussy music and of breathicss waltzes—verv spoedily, ana turn to tho philosophic cigar tu the upper stories, or to club and cocktail, with a relief that Is far from feigned. Men go “into sooi- ety’? at twenty. If they aro heroes thoy keep that sort of thing up, say as far as twenty-eight or thirty. At thirty they havo aga rule withdrawn into matri+ mony or its equally attractive counterpart, misan- thropy, leaving thoir piaces to yct more boys, to grad- uate and get out in turn.” Various persons are accused of boing tho autbor of these hooks, bat of all tho number the oues to whom famor points most decidedly are Oakey Hall and James Appleton Morgan, It is said, with a show ot authority, chat if it is not ono itis the other, Who- aver the autbor may bo he bos yet to learn how to construct a story; ho has the materialsand the power to hold the reader’s excited intorest from first page to Inst, which he exerts most cffectually, Bat he should either give more time to his literary work or geta literary man to assist him.

To rus Epiror or tre Heraup:— In his speech mado at Mansfeld on the 17th of Au- gust Jast Mr. John Sherman eald that unless pro- vented by the repeal of tho Resumption act ho cer- tatnly could and would restore the specie standard by the Ist of January, 1879, Of the vast magnitude of tho work of restoration; of the immense and avso- lutely insuperable difficulties in the way of ite accom- plishment in so short a time and probably at any timo; ot the principles involved in the work, Mr. Joho Sherman apparently bas but small conceptions. Undoubtedly lie was a true prophot in 1869, but the experience of 1879 will show that his gifts pave do- parted and that in forecasting evonts to happen only fourteen months hence be darkens couusel without Fnowledge, It Js said that all the roads in tho world lead to Rome; there 1s but one road, however, that leads to resump- tion of specio payments. Suspension took placo in 1861 because there was an excess of paper notes, the issues both of banks and government, and thero can be no resumption till that excess be removed, If we can ascertain tho sum of the oxisting excoss we may form some pretty accurate judgment as to the probabilities of Mr. John Sherman effecting the stu- pendous operation he so flippantly anoounces as within his power, No ono acquainted with economic scionce will doubt for a moment the correctness of this fundamental proposition—that 80 long as tho paper notes which form the active money of the country are ta excess no safe resumption is possible, It 1s not worth while at this particular moment to discuss the special methods Mr. Joun Sherman proposes to adopt. Tho bottom question 1s not a particular method, but tho practi. cability of any method. Let me call your attention to tho fact that no com. mercial pution in the world has ever yet beon able to support a convertible paper circulation of $00,000,000, Tho active paper notes of Great Britain do not exceed at this time $270,000,000; those of tho German Em. pire are jess than $300,000,000 in amount. Tho largest convertible circulation evor supported by the Bank of France was $280,000,000, just prior to the breaking out of the late war with Gormany, and was so excessive that susponsion took place within a fortnight after the beginning of hostilities, and the largest nominally convertible circulation ever wfloat in tho bistory of our own country was in 1857—just before the momorable explosion of that year—and that it was excessive the fact of the explosion and the severity of itabundantly proved, These examples are pregnant with instruction, They seem conclusive that wo can- not sustain in America a really convertible circula. tion, exceeding, at the outer limit, $350,000,000; tor if France, with $1,400,090,000 or’ $1,600,000,000 of gold and stiver among her people and tp the vaults of her national bank; if England, with $700,000,000 or $800,000. 000 within her borders; 1f Germany, with a like ‘amount at the command of her banks and peoplo; if neither of these great snd opulent empires can support a convertible cireulaion amounting fo or exceeding $300,000,000, what shall be said of the power of these United States to support $50,000,000, the constant and necessary tendency of whos» gold and fiver is to luke to themselves Wings andfly away? Cag wedo in America what long expor + ence proves to be impossible in France, Germany and Engiwnd? Assuredly not, The laws that govern tho of the precious metals and con’ ectibie commercial nations ure as fixed ws that govern the physical w the obligation of tho issuer of paper notes to redvem thein in coin is rea! und not oo 1m oD, merely pominal, the sum of such ivle to erreulat this or any other commercial country 1s exceedingly limited, relatively , and cannot be saaseeea runes roy 4 circulation of tho country 18 $700,000,000, of whic more than $500,000,000 aro in peecoey aotive use, If contraction must be carricd down to $350,000, 000, xperionce will prove it must bo, can Mr, John Sherman effect so vast a diminution in a period of seventeen months? But in further proof that contract st be carried to $350,000,000 I beg to call your attention and that of your readers to some remarkable incts, Wo have had y eso United States four general bank suspen: oe 0 present paper payment and three general resumpt pension took place in 1814, when the note emissions were about $50,000,000, The banks romptly seized upon the opportunity to expand, and yy the end of 1816 had managed to increase th culation up to $£9,090,000, A nominal re: wos eflected in 1817 turough the action of the Second United States Bank, which establishm importations of silver, but it could not ang npon the digeppearanee of the m cially introduced into the clroulation by the bank. which bad taken place by the middle o! the year 181 the inovitable reaction set in, and national and State, set to work to as they always do in such cases—by ruining the eommereial and industrial communit jd by the end of 1819 had reduced the per eircalation from $99,000,000 in 1b17 to $45,000,090 at the jer date, a contraction of filty-tour per cent, ‘Tho cause of the specie leuving the country,” says jouge in his “Short History of Paper sfoney,’? was that the per money still continuing to perate, the sper exported by individuals us fast a8 it was imported by the bank, The it would have been the samo bad the bank imported $70,000,000 instead of $7,000,000, If we had mines as rich as those of Potosi, and paper should be in excess, we should not be able to retain tho silver to keep it con- vertible,"” Again, in 1830 ¢he banks began a new carecr ofexpansion. Thoir whole circulation at ihe close of that year was about $60,000,000; the steadily inflated, until in May, 1837, it $149,000.000, The second universal colla) took place in that month and year, and volved all the local banks, and also the Bi of the United Stales, No sooner was tho explo. ver, than the banks wore seized pasm of virtue, and set about tho ? and attained a condition of intime reducing their circulstion tho date of tho collapse to fe of the resumption, a con- Ay: fe cent, In September and October, 1857, anoth: Creseeraractencs the paper ot culation being at that time $215,000,! the largest professing tv be convortiblo into coin yn demand in our monetary history, Resumption became the business of the banks; in a period of about four months: they contracted their issues down to $155,000,000, or nearly thirty per cent, and again the commercial and industrial classes sustained the loss and suffering inflicted i them by bank cupidity and mismaoage- 861 a fourth and Pnal suspension of specie (though in 1873 the national rtblass rags !”? ber); and how and by what measures resumption 1s to be effected is tho supreme question of the hour. It will not take place in January, 1879, howe’ Mr. Joho Sherman and Squire Woodlord to the contrary notwithstanding; but when it does take place, if it over docs, the pro- ductive classes will foot the bill, and to the uttermost farthing, That 18 the one sure thing in the midst of many that are uncertain, But our own country doos NDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1 noi ‘afford the only examples worth the public at- tention, The Bank of England and the minor banks of Great Britain pended specie pa} ts in 1797, and remained in suspension ttl 18z1—1 riod sub- stantially of twenty-four years. In 1819 Parliament passed an act compelling resumption belore June, 1823, at that time the whole note circulation being $250,000,000. At the date of the resumption (which, owing to the powerful and vigorous measures of tho Bank of England, took place in 1821) it had been ro- duced to $129,000,000—a contraction, substantially, of fity per cent. The last example is that of Frunce, ‘Ihe Bank of France, under the pressuro of war, sus- ended in 1870, when its circulation was 280,000,000. A large expansion of paper notes romptly took place; urt'l at one time, io 3, they aggregated $614,000,000, When tho war with Germany aud the Commune had come to an end and the indemnity had been provided for the bank be- gan to set lis house in or preparatory to resump- tion, which 1¢is under a legal obligation to accom. pish by January 1, 1878, Its emissions are at this timo slightly under $500,000,000, a contraction of about tweaty per cent; but antil they arc reduced to their natural limits, which I venture to fix at $300,000,000, the bank canuot resume, notwithstand- ing the presence in her vaults of $450,000,000 of the precious metals, Tho contraction to be wrought by the Bank of Franco 18, then, flity per cent. ‘We must not bo deceived by superticial appearances, as many are, It is widely supposed that the low pre- mium on gold indicates thet we aro upon the verge of resumption and that, in tho linguago ot Mr. Joho Sherman, at Mansficlau, wo are but turee or five do- grees removed irom its final attainment. This iga plausible, but mischievous and most misleading, fai- lacy. The prootis hore:—In the years 1818, 1819 and 1820, while the American banks wore contracting their note issues in order to attain to a stato of actual convertibility, their notes wero, doring the wholo time, nominally at least, converti- bie; and therp was no premiuin on coin, pe a contraction of fitty-four per cent took place, ‘hen tho Bank of Englund began tywork of resump- tion, in 1819, the preminm on goim wos butfive por cent, yet acontraction of ity per centol tne whole issues of England was necessary before convertibilit; was finally effected. Tho highest premium to whic gold and silvor attained during the resumptton period Detween 1837 and 1843 in America was seventeen per cent, and yot a contraction o/ sixty-three por cont was necessary to a restoration of the specie etandard, Dur- ing the suspension in tho Jatter months of 1857 the premium on gold and silver was merely nominal—it did not exceed one por cont—and vet the banks con- tracted their circulation nearly thirty per cent before they wero able to resume. Tbe premium on French bank notes since the suspension in 1870 at no time reached three per cont, but « contraction of twenty-one per cent hae already been effected; but the bank bas bot resamed, and a few months will tell whether tho Bank of Franco can or cannot do 80 without producip, a bees serious and dango! ous pressure upon the Frenc! People. T assume, frdm these examples, that until the paper notes now 1n circulation are reduced to $350,000,000 a sound resumption in these United States is utterly out ot the question, But if it be true that a contraction of more than $350,000,000 is still to be effected Is it not clear that Mr. Jobn Sherman bas on hand a bigger operation t canbe accomplished in sevenicen months from tho 17th of August last? No doubt Mr. Jobo Sherman ig,a giant, but to bore @ holo in the ear or put a ring in tho nose of Leviathan a good deal transcends hia powers, cven though aided by Squire Woodford, Your obedient servant, Novemnrn 10, 1877, W.
