It was estimated $350,000,000 were needed to pay the expenses of the government to the close of the fiseal year, and the treas- ury had means of meeting the drafts of the government for less thun two months.

The leading statesmen in both houses of congress were brought with extremo reluctance to the same conclu- sion. To no one was this decision more painful than to the secretary of the treasury. He agreed with the greatest of his predecessors, 1u that famous re- port which bas become a classic iu our politics and our finances, that— The emitting of paper money by the au- thority of the government is wisely prohib- ited to the individual = states by the constitu- tion, and the spirit of prohibition ought not Lo be disregarded by the goverument of the United States. The wisdom of the gov- ernment will be shown in never trusting it- self syith the use of so seducing and danger- ous an expedient. The stamping of paper is an operation so much easier than the laying of taxes, that & government in the practice of paper emissions would rarely fail in any such emergency to indulge itself too far in that resource to avoid, 8s much as_ possible, one less auspicious to present popularity, If it should not even be carried so far us to be rendered an absolute bubble, it would at least be likely 30 be extended to a degree which would occasion an inflated and artifi- cial state of things incompatible with the rogular and prosperous course of the politi- cal economy.

V and VI Prico 23 por vol. Kdited by Edmund Clarence Stedman and _Bllen Spring Huteninson. Publistiod by Charles Webster & Co., 8 East Fourteenth street, New York There s no more welecome visitor to the librarvies of the west than the vol- uines of this series. Volume 5 comprises the hterature of this country from 1521 to 1854, compiled of publ reording to the era that this inciudes the work of some men who died not more than a dozen yenrs ago. This is. in our opinion, u far’ more critical way of pre- sentation than the arbitrary ment of writers nccording o the date of their death. for their works were nec- essarily colored by the time at which they wrote I3ut though this very sen- ation, s arrange- sible plan was adopted it has not been muintained, and it is hard to under- stand the essentinl difforence between Vol. Vand Vol. VI, which is supposed to cover the vears from 1835 to 1860, All the same w are ateful for what we find in these two books, and in our estimation the selections hay been made with a sympatl that shows strong literar; power, Those from Fenimore Cooper are be- yond doubt the best that conld have boen made, and the same judgment can be passed upon the extracts from Wil- linm Cu and Washington Irving, Bot pechaps some readers will think themselves overdosed with Channing and would like more of Pry cott. In thesixth volume we that we find infinitely too much son and not enough Hawthorne. Allan Poe’s poet I lime; Fdgar has been culled with great judgment and with a proper bending towards the popular liking for certain things, for the aim of the work is to present not only those things which a critical judgment approves, but also those which have securely won the favor of the multitude. Upou this basis nothing can be better than the selections from Longfellow and Whit- tier. The extr from the writings of of famous anti-slavery are splendidiy chosen, but this might have been fore- told, beenuse the lady collaborator of Mr.’ Stedman is the daughter and grandaughter of famous abolitionists.
