United States bonds. She wished
for
something more safe, and subscribed 100 millions of
dollars to M. Minghetti’s Italian loan.
These bonds cost her
70, and are now begging in the market at 45; while our
bonds, which might have been bought at 45, have gone up
ta 78 or 80, with a
prospect of being worth par in gold.
At the time referred to, however, we could not borrow a
dollar except at home.
The dangerous expedient of paper
money was suggested.
It offered a ready relief. The path
was
easy and alluring. An officer less sound and les* trusty,
might, under such a pressure of Treasury embarrassments,
have yielded to the temptation. Congress,without laying down
any policy, had put the responsibility on the Secretary.
He
was
empowered by the acts of 30th June, 1864. and 3d
March, 1865, to issue any amount of legal tender notes that
he might choose or find needful.
Congress, appointed by the
Constitution the guardian of the currency, had abdicated its
legislative functions. It had made a vague lawr, and confided
to a single officer an almost unlimited power to issue legal
lender money.
Happily for the nation we had not a paper
money man in office.
Otherwise one shudders to think of
the abyss of confusion, bankruptcy and repudiation in which
the country might have plunged.
We gladly turn away
from the possible catastrophe. Let us next pass to the Autumn
of 1865.
Five or six months of peace had dissolved the
army, the last regiments were being paid off, the Government
creditors had been satisfied, the whole of the suspended claims
on the Treasury had been settled, and the funding policy of
the Government was fully developed as we see it now.
Not
a dollar of
paper money had been issued.
On the contrary,
the currency was contracted from 984 millions to 710 mil¬
lions. In other words, 274 millions of legal tenders had
been withdrawn ; and, moreover, 112 millions of old sus¬
pended debts had been discharged, 32 millions of temporary
loans had been got rid of, and 413 millions of absolutely new
claims had been put in, audited, and promptly paid.
Over
800 millions of dollars
were
raised and used for these dis¬
bursements in the short space
of Mr. McCulloch’s first half
year’s work in the Treasury.
We have said that the plan or scheme of funding which
was begun under such difficulty is now going forward.
In
deed it approaches completion.
The 830 millions which
were so suddenly required to preserve the country from a
bankrupt Treasury on the one side, or a deluge of paper
money on the other, was raised by the issue of three year
Seven-Thirty notes, the holder of which might at maturity
claim to be paid off in currency, or to receive at par instead

What that policy is, appears very clearly to be,
first, to get rid of the perplexing multitude of securities ma¬

short date obligations into long bonds; and, thirdly, to do all
this not only without expanding the currency with a view
to float his bonds, but side by side with a positive contrac¬

President had been much too lightly mooted in Congress,
and much too passionately discussed.
How great then was
the amazement which pervaded all classes of society, when
hardly a wreek after the final dismissal of this project it was
suddenly revived, galvanized into a most vehement vitality,
and sprung upon the nation no longer as a project, but as an
accomplished fact. Neither the protests of the various
journals, which, with more or less of partizan feeling, have
denounced the impeachment of the President as a political
crime, nor those of the various public meetings which have
been already held in various parts of the country to give
expression to a like sentiment, seem to us adequately and
fairly to state the actual sentiment of the calmest and most
considerate classes of the American people on this subject.
That sentiment is one of profound concern and anxiety as to
the future of the country, if the temper manifested by Con¬
gress in this case is to go unchecked by the voice of the
people.

A conference of
shipbuilders
was
held in December at
Bath, in Maine, for the purpose of procuring State and Con¬
gressional legislation : and toot; the ground that the depres¬
sion of the shipping
interest was due to the-heavy taxation
of the materials
employed in the construction of vessels.
Their remedy was accordingly a drawback equivalent to the
amount of duties and taxes.
The report of the committee of
the Legislature of that State thus illustrates the matter:
“
The avevRcr copt of shipbuilding for (he years 3 859, 1860 and
1861. per registered ton, when rigged and ready for yea., did not exceed
$48 ; and the cost of the same class vessels, in the years 1865 and
1866, was not less than $75 per ton making a difference in favor of
the first named period in building and
titting for sea a ship of one
'thousand tons of $27,000, and the extra expense of insurance, taxes and
interest would amount to more than $6,000. To illustrate this we will

quote the cost of

a
few ships built in ltockland, under the immediate
of the members of this committee. The ship Jennie
Beals, built in 1S59, ot white oak and hard pine, 1,092 tons, rated A 1,
cost ready for sea, $48.000,or about $44
per ton. Ship Martha Gobb, built
in 1861,311 white oak, 1,192 tons, rated A1, cost

or about $17
per ton.
Ship Otago, built in 1865, white oak and hack,
cost
ready for sea, $76,000, or -Do per ton. All of the above-men¬
tioned ships were built by the same party, and as much care bestowed
upon one (as to economy) as upon the others.
Owing to decrease in
price of labor and materials, a ship can be built at less cost tbis year
than it could a year ago, and, by consulting with prominent
shipbuild¬
ers, we find that a ship can now be built for $63 per ton
By a careful

of a ship, we find that

In
treating of this subject, however, we should remember
shipbuilding interest is but a single
instance of the injurious effects of cumulative taxation. The
evil ramifies through our entire financial'policy.
Raw ma
terial imported into this country is taxed because it com¬
petes with the domestic product.
The manufacturer is
required to procure a license lor the prosecution of his busi¬
ness, and afterward to pay a tax on every article that he
may manufacture. It is thus made necessary for the general

by applications for legislation to aid and relieve one annary

But we do not believe that special legislation is the
appropriate remedy. It is faulty in principle, vitious in
influence, and unsatisfactory in effect,, Particular branches
of industry have no especial right to be relieved of their
share of the general burden. It is perfectly legitimate and
reasonable, however, to demand that that burden shall be

Many seem to
be of the
opinion that a healthy and lemunerative Spring trade will be
experienced ; that buyers will operate with the
necessary degree of
caution, so as to prevent any serious and
important losses. This caurtion
is a very favorable feature in the
present aspect of affairs. The losses
of the last two
years have been so heavy as to render the greatest
circumspection necessary on all sidesj and hence business has been in
the strictest sense of
quite a hand-to-mouth character. Prices, in the
increasing abundance of the supply of many articles of manufacture,
and in the diminished
demand, have given way to an important extent
to an extent,
indeed, which is likely to prove injurious to us as regards
our
supplies in future years. This, howeter, is but the natural course
of things;
higli prices increase production, while, when imports have
been
increased, the value of the raw material is reduced to a point at
which producers are unable to obtain a
fair return for their
outlay o'
capital and the amount of labor bestowed in raising their
produce.
An error into which we were
undoubtedly falling, that, namely, of
seeing prices fall too low, seems to have been rectified. Prices must

anticipated ; and the parties who had expected to profit by an ad¬
vance consequently became sellers.
An enormous amount of stock
was thus thrown upon the market, and the price fell from 78^ to
64 j, since which it has reached to 68£ and to day closed at 68.
Under this condition of affairs, a large “ short ” interest in the stock
has been created, in behalf of which the market is systematically
depressed. Under this unsettled condition of a stock which always
leads the market, nearly the entire list is sluggish. New York
Central, Hudson River and Cleveland and Toledo, however, are
quite active and strong, apparently in consequence of movements
of Mr. Vanderbilt’s friends. The Commercial Advertiser makes

The market has been
inactive, and prices unsettled, but
generally pretty firm, with more export demand.
Flour has arrived very
sparingly from the West, in fact the
receipts have seldom been smaller, and the demand continuing
good for the lower grades, these have ruled firm ; but in the
medium and better grades, in which we must include most of
the Extra State brands, business has been
dull, and prices
drooping. Southern flour supplies have been relatively liberal,
including considerable lines of Howard Street staples, of which
3,000 bbls. were taken for Liverpool to-day, at $9 25@9 50,
but any grades over $10 not easily saleable.
Wheat has ruled about
steady. The export demand has
been fair, taking from seven to
twenty-five thousand bushels
daily, thus working a considerdble reduction of our small
stock.
As high as $2 58^ has been paid for choice

Lave reported, and prices are so unsettled that we omit
quo¬
tations*
Seed Leaf also remains quiet, with very indifferent
offering.
The business has been wholly in
a re¬
tail way, if we except 100 cases Ohio fillers at 5c.
Spanish
tobacco has also been quiet, and the only transaction
reported
is 100 bales Havana at 98c.
Manufactured tobacco has been
active for export and home use, the business somewhat stimu¬
lated by an expected reduction of the tax. The sales have
been mainly in low black and medium bright work, and at the
close stocks are pretty well exhausted, with an
upward turn
to
prices.

To-day we have to report an advauce of 900@l,OQO rs. for the better
and 600@700 rs. for the lower descriptions of Coffee, which elevation
by the decline of the rates of exchanges, indeed, appears to be more
than counterbalanced, however, considering the little strictness of the
classifications in consequence of the poor selection, prices in reality are
much higher than they seem according to the quotations.
Supplies averaged only about 6,000 bags per day, consisting mostly
*of inferior qualities, and the stock is reduced to 60,000 bags.

on a basis of 8|@8f cents for 64x64.
Prints showed a fair trade at the commencement of the week, but,
business has slackened since.

as sold up
pretty close by agents, and prices are firm. Allens 18$,

sympathy
with the general market, prices have assumed more firmness.
Fancy
cassimeres and coatings are in good request, and there is a fair
inquiry

prices are not as yet satisfactory to owners.

Foreign Dress Goods of British manufacture are not in
over-supply
and command a fair trade in first hands. The French goods at auction*
have realised but poor prices, and much was withdrawn in consequence..
The season will apparently be later than usual for these fabrics.
