From the fact that several of the elements involved are so uncer¬
tain and fluctuating, it is very difficult, of course, to determine with
confidence how much the consumption is reduced by the present tax,
*nd what will certainly be realized from this source of revenue. # *
Our markets are now exhausted of spirits distilled before taxation, or
subjected only to the earlier rates. The supplies for consumption must
now
pay the existing duty, and the receipts for the current year will, I
am confident, far exceed the aggregate of all receipts from the same
source prior thereto.
It is certain that immense frauds have been perpetrated, for such have
been discovered and prosecuted to judgment or to compromise ; but the
increasing experience and vigilance of our officers, and the appointment
of others for special duty at distilleries, will prevent large loss to the
government. The Revenue commission will, I hope, suggest additional
checks to be authorized by further legislation; but so long as avarice
and falsity are a part of humanity, revenue laws, however thoroughly
administered, will be sometimes evaded.
The number of illicit distillations detected in the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland in 1864 was 2,757,and in 1865 8,457 ; show¬
ing that, with all the thoroughness consequent upon careful legislation,
long experience, and a more compact population than ours, it was
quite impossible to prevent] occasional and, undoubtedly, some¬
times enormous frauds. It must be the aim and the effort of all per¬
sons connected with our revenue laws to insist everywhere and always
upon the rights of the government, and, in so doing, the protection of
taxpayers who faithfully discharge their duties.
Rumour has said much in regard to these frauds, the com-

anticipating the increased duty, glutting the market, and thoroughly
deranging the customary laws of demand and supply. For a long time
the consumption has not been of spirits which have paid the duty cur¬
rent at its date, but always of those taxed, if liable at all, at a previ¬
ous and lower rate.
The increase has never been of advantage to the
government, but has swelled the income of manufacturers and specula¬
tors.
For several months of the past year, when holders were dispos¬
ing of their adventures, the market price of distilled spirits, even in
the Atlantic cities, remote from the j;lace of prodnction, was but little,
if any, in advance of the tax. It is no wonder, then, that many distil¬
leries were idle and the revenue small.

Now, on the first occasion of the meeting of Congress

at once be putin motion, and which shall recommend itself to
those who come after us for its continuance.” It is good
•vidence of a statesman-like cast of mind in the Chief
Magistrate that he should thus clearly perceive not only the
importance of selecting a sound policy for the restoration of
our shattered and confused public interests, but the scarcely
less imperative importance of putting the policy so selected
into operation at the earliest possible moment.
Upon this
point many persons, we think, will see with regret that some
of our legislators are less fully aware of the needs of the nation
than the President plainly is. Not at all as a question of
party tactics, nor yet as a question of theoretical politics,
but as a question of practical statesmanship, intelligent men

The position taken up in respect to this matter by the Pre¬
sident, that immediately upon the ratification of the constitu¬
tional amendment for ever abolishing slavery in the United
States, the lately disloyal States ought to “ resume their
places in the two branches of the National Legislature, and
thereby complete the work of restoration,” sums up, we are
tatisfied, the predominant sense of the nation to-day. It is
the leading desire of the American people to find themselves
once more at liberty to pursue the development of the na¬
tional resources through the regular channels, alike of legisla¬
tion and of enterprise.
The vast and magnificent region so

of the Republic, and furnished to our export trade the great

no longer has anything to fear from the South.
Upon that
point the language of the President, the Secretary of War,
and the Lieutenant-General commanding our armies is explicit and final.
Is the nation, therefore, to have nothing to
hope from the South ? The South alone can reveal to us in¬
telligently and advantageously the real condition in which
the war has left its people : the counsel and co-operation of
Southern men is necessary to just and fruitful legislation
upon that condition. That counsel and co-operation cannot
possibly be given to us one day too soon. The President’s
call upon the nation to secure it at the earliest moment, after
the complete establishment of the Federal authority is not
only strictly constitutional; it is in the best and highest sense
of the word politic.
And we speak, we are sure, for the
overwhelming majority of practical citizens of all parties
when we repeat that all action adverse to that call of the
President, whether in or out of Congress, will be damaging
to the best interests, and must eventually revolt the sober
judgment of the American people.

Instead of contributing, as of old, to the national wealth, it
absorbs the revenue raised from the industry of happier sec

the cessation of hostilities has enabled the Secretary of War
to reduce the army estimates from nearly five hundred mill¬

In November, 1864, there were
584 associations, with an aggregate capital of $108,964,597.
Up to the end of October last 283 new banks had been or¬
ganized, and 731 State banks converted, giving a total of
1,601 National Banks. Of these, no less than 679 were new
institutions, wrhile the capital ofall the National Banks amount¬
ed to $402,573,793.
It is, however, a remarkable circum¬
stance, as Mr. Clarke very properly points out, that although
nearly all of the State Banks have voluntarily changed into

THE CHRONICLE.
National Bank would have entitled it under the law ; and, as many
of the converted banks had a greater amount of State notes in circula¬
tion than they were entitled to under the National Act, the result has
been to diminish rather than increase the volume of bank note circula¬
tion. The twenty-third section of the act prohibits national banks from
issuing or circulating as money any notes other than such as are author¬
a
ized by the provisions of the National Banking Act. If a National bank
converted from a State institution pays out and circulates the notes of
the State bank which it is bound to redeem, it certainly issues notes
prohibited by the act. If the rights of converted banks to re-issue the
notes of the -State Bank, and also to receive National notes to the
amount that their capital entitled them to were recognized, they would
have had a double circulation, and the aggregate at this time would
probably have been two fold the amount of their present issues. The
National Banks already organized embody a capital sufficient to entitle
them to receive $809,672,992 of circulation on the deposit of the requi¬
site securities in government bonds. It is not anticipated, however, that
more than three hundred millions will be called for by banks now
organ¬
ized, as many of them, located in large cities of the Northern States,
will not ask for the amount of circulation to which their capital entitles
them. Bonds have been deposited to entitle the banks now organized
to $244,754,126 of circulation only.
In no event will the limit of the act
be exceeded.”

By reference
to the
foregoing table it will also be

that in several states the amount of circulation to wh-ch

the original intention of the
banking law, but the extension

when
it
at the close of the last session of
Congress
enacted that
aonly half of the 300 millions
should be distributed according to population, while the other
half should be .allotted by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Out of this change has
grown the demand for more currency
for the Western and chiefly for the Southern
States, which
it is contended are
deprived of their fair share. A method
of meeting this demand without
increasing the aggregate
volume of the currency Mr. Clarke
proposes in the follow¬

ing terms:
“
In view of the urgent demand that will
undoubtedly be made for
increase of t e national bank circulation, and as a gentle mode of
further reducing the volume of legal tender notes, it ^s
suggested that
the national currency act be so amended as to allow an increase of the
limit to four hundred million of dollars, on conditions

Nor need there be any apprehension that a reduction of the currency
—unless it be a violent one—will injuriously affect real prosperity.
Labor is the great source of national wealth, and industry invariably
declines on an inflated currency.
The value of money depends upon
the manner in which it is used.
If it stimulates productive industry, it
is a benefit, and to the extent only to which it does this is it a benefit.

evil. Even in the form of the precious metals, it
may not prove to be wealth to a nation.
The idea that a country is
necessarily rich in proportion to the amount of gold or silver which it
possesses, is a common and natural, but an erroneous one, while the
opinion that real prosperity is advanced by an increase of paper money
beyond what is absolutelyneeded as a medium for exchanges of real
values, is so totally fallacious, that few sane men entertain it whose
judgment is not clouded by the peculiar financial atmosphere which an
inflation is so apt to produce.
An irredeemable paper currency may be a necessity, but it can
scarcely fail, if long continued, to be a calamity to any people. Gold
and silver are the only proper measure of value. They have been made
so by the tacit agreement of nations, and are the necessary regulator of
of trade, the medium by which balances are settled between different
countries and between sections of the same country. As a universal
measure of value, they are a commercial necessity.
The trade between
different nations and between sections of the same country is carried
on
by an exchange of commodities, but is never equally balanced by
them ; and unless credits are being established, the movements of coin

It will be noticed by this statement that the bank note circulation of
the United States increased from $61,324,000 to $149,185,890 between
the 1 st of January, 1830, and the 1st of January, 1887, in which latter
year
the great financial collapse took place; fell from $149,186,890 in
1887, to $58,564,000 in 1848, and rose to $214,778,822 on the 1st of
January, 1857, in which year the next severe crisis occurred ; falling
during that year to $155,208,844, and rising to $207,102,000 on the 1st
of January, 1860.
The following is a statement of bank deposits and loans in the same
national resources, upon our surplus productions; in other words,
upon labor. The revenues derived from transactions based upon a false
standard of value, or from interests that can only flourish in speculative
times, are not those upon which reliance can be placed for maintaining
the public credit. What a healthy and reliable business requires is a
stable basis. This it cannot have as long as the country is inflicted with
an inconvertible
currency, the value of which, as well as the value of
the vast property which is measured by it, is fluctuating and unreliable,
and may be in no small degree controlled by
speculative combinations.
It is also urged that the
proposed policy would endanger the public
our
credit, by preventing funding; and that it would compel the Govern¬
ment and the people, who are in
debt, to pay in a dearer currency than
that in which their debts

Secretary is unable to perceive any substantial ground for this
objection. He cannot understand how the process of funding is likely
to be aided by tbe continuance of prices on their present high level, or

would give permaneucy to the settlements, and, by the stimulus which
ownership always produces, it would result in a thorough and regular
development of the mines.
A bill for the subdivision and sale of the gold and silver lands of the
United States was under consideration by the last Congress, to which
attention is respectfully called. If the enactment of this bill should
not be deemed expedient, and no satisfactory substitute can be reported
for the sale of these lands to the highest bidder, on account of the pos¬
sessory claims of miners, it will then be important that the policy of
extending the principle of pre-emption to the mineral districts be con¬
sidered. It is not material, perhaps, how the end shall be attained,
but there can be no question that it is of the highest importance, in a
financial and social point of view, that ownership of these lands, in
limited quantities to each purchaser, should be within ,the reach of
the people of the United States who may desire to explore and develope them.
In this connection it may be advisable for Congress to consider whe¬
ther the prosperity of the treasure-producing districts would not be in¬
creased, and the convenience of miners greatly promoted, by the estab¬
lishment of an assay office in every mining district from which an actual
production of gold and silver amounting to ten millions of dollars is
actually obtained.

means certain that, instead of equivalents having been acquired under
the treaty, more than equal advantages were not surrended by it. But,
whatever the facts may be. this subject, as well as that of inter-com¬
munication through rivers and lakes, and possibly canals and railroads,
are proper subjects of negotiation, and their importance should secure
early consideration.
It is certein that, in the arrangement of our complex system of re¬
venue through the tariff and internal duties, the treaty has been the
cause of no little embarrassment.
'J he subject of the revenue should
not be embarrassed by treaty stipulations, but Congress should be left
to act upon it freely and independently.
Any arrangement between
the United States and the Canady and Provinces that may be con¬
sidered mutually beneficial can as readily be perfected and carried out
by reciprocal legislation as by any other means.
No complaint would
then arise as to subsequent changes of laws, for each party would be
free to act at all times, according to its discretion.
However desirable stability may be, an irrepealable revenue law,
even in.ordiuary times, is open to grave objections,
and in any extra¬
ordinary crisis is likely to be pernicious. The people of the United
States cannot consent to be taxed as producers while those outside of
our boundaries, exempt from our burdens, shall be permitted,
as com¬
petitors, to have free access to our markets. It is desirable to diminish
the temptations now existing for smuggling, and if the course suggested
of mutual legislation should be adopted, a revenue system, both inter¬

cipated from the action of our neighbors, by which this result would be
most likely to be obtained.

MINING LANDS.
The attention of Congress is again called to the
and definite action upon the subject of our mineral

importance of early

incoming vessels and their manifest of cargo; affording
distress; aiding in the enforcement of the regula¬
tions of harbor police, and otherwise preventing or detecting violations
or evasions of law.
A service of this description is unquestionably use¬
ful, if not indispensable, to the administration of the revenue system of
a maratime and commercial country with such extensive sea, lake, and
gulf coasts as our own.
There are now in the service twenty-seven steamers and nine sailing
vessels.
Of the steamers,, seven are of the average tonnage of 350 tons,
and draw nine feet of water. These large vessels were constructed durirg the progress of the late rebellion, and were designed for the com¬
bined purpose of a naval force and a revenue coast guard. Their heavy
armaments, large tonnage, and crews,however well fitted for such pur¬
poses, are not adapted for the revenue service in a time of peace. In
consequence of their great draft of water, they must be used mainly as
sea-going vessels, and are incapable of navigating the shallow waters of
the coasts and their tributaries, which afford the most favorable oppor¬
tunities for contraband trade.' Independently of these considerations,
they are so constructed as to be unable to carry a supply of fuel for
more than three, or possibly four days, at the farthest.
It is recommended, therefore, that this department be vested with
authority to sell the vessels of this description, and expend the proceeds

The Mahoning, with twelve tons of coal

eight tons of coal per diem, will make twelve knots per hour. The Nan¬
semond, drawing but six feet nine inches, is enabled to cruise ia waters
entirely inaccessible to the MahoniiTg.
To render the service effective and economical, cutters should be of
light draft, manned by a small crew, and able to navigate the shoal
waters and penetrate the inland bays rivers and creeks, with which our
sea, lake, and gulf coasts abound; but of sufficient tonnage to enable
them to perform efficiently and safely the duties of a coast guard at sea,

THE CHRONICLE
markable period. In abont two
years and a half from the organization
of the first National Baok, the whole system of banking under State
laws has been superseded, and the people of the United States have
been furnished with a circulation bearing upon it the seal of the Trea¬
Department as a guaranty of its solvency. It only remains that
this circulation shall be a redeemalle circulation; redeemable not
only at the counters of the banks, but at the commercial cities, to
make the National Banking system of almost inconceivable benefit to
sury
the country.
The present
s
law limits the circulation of the National Banks
to three
hundred millions of dollars ; and it is not probable, when the business
of the country returns to a healthy basis, that a larger paper circulation
than this will be required. Indeed it is doubtful whether a larger cir¬
culation can be maintained on a specie basis. Should an increase, how¬
ever, be necessary, it can be provided for hereafter.
It is, perhaps, un¬
fortunate that a greater restriction had not been placed upon the circu¬
lation of the large banks already organized, in view of the wants of the
Southern States. It is quite likely, however, that the anticipated with¬
drawal of a portion of the United States notes (not to speak of the effect
of the restoration of specie payments) will so reduce the circulation of
the northern banks as to afford to the South, under the present limiration of the law, all the paper currency which will be required in that
quarter.

Upon the capture of Richmand, and the surrender of the confederate
armies, it became apparent that there would be an early disbanding of
the forces of the United States, and, consequently heavy requisitions
from the War
Department for transportation and payment of the army,
including bounties. As it was important that these requisitions should
be promptly met, and especially important that not a soldier should re¬
main in the service a siugle day for want of means to pay him, the Se¬
cretary perceived the necessity of realizing as speedily as possible the
amount—$580,000,000—still authorized to be borrowed under this act.
seven and three-tenths notes had proved to be a
popular loan, and
although a security on longer time and lower interest would have been
more
advantageous to the government, the Secretary considered it ad¬
visable, under the circumstances, to continue to offer these notes to the
public, and to avail himself, as his immediate predecessor had done, of
the services of Jay Cook, Esq., in the sale of them.
The result was in
the highest degree satisfactory.
By the admirable skill and energy of
the agent, and the hearty co-operation of the National Banks, these notes
were distributed in every part
of the Northern, and some parts of the
Southern States, and placed within the reach of every person
desiring

offered in the United States, notwith¬
standing the large amount of government securities previously taken
by the people, was so promptly subscribed for as this. Before the
first of August the entire amount of $530,000,000 had been taken,
and the Secretary had the unexpected satisfaction of being able,
with the receipts from customs and internal revenue and a small
increase of the temporary loan, to meet all the requisitions upon the
any
Treasurers, and for the accommodation of the public. Other con¬
prompted the Secretary to avail himself of the authori¬
ty referred to. It is expected that the credit of the Government will
be strengthened by the coin which will be thus
brought into the Trea¬
sury, and that the effect of the measure will be to facilitate to some
extent a return to specie payments. If the

CHRONICLE.
Fridat, December 8,1885.—P. M.
The Monet
Market.—Monetary affairs exhibit no change
as the result of the opening of Congress.
The general feel¬
ing of caution entertained in anticipation of the report of
Mr. McCulloch is not sensibly abated, and the loan market
is dull.
The general impression, relative to the recommodations of the Secretary of the Treasury, is that Mr. McCul¬
loch’s conservative sentiment would not permit of the carry¬
ing out of his measures in a manner which would seriously
disturb financial affairs ; and hence, while it is generally taken
for granted that the policy of contraction will be adopted,
yet no alarm is felt in the anticipation. At the same time,
it is supposed that prices may be depressed by the reduction
of the circulation ; and as it is not known how soon the pro¬
cess may be put in operation, there is a very general caution
about buying commercial credits of long date. The policy
of contraction is regarded as being, to a certain extent, an
experiment; and there is naturally a certain degree of cau¬
tion about making engagements, until more light is thrown
upon its probable issue. Call loans receive a general pre¬
ference among lenders; but speculation is not sufficiently
active to employ any large amount of money in that way.
There appears to be a diminution of deposits with the pri¬
vate bankers.
Merchants find employment for their surplus
funds in their own business, and are steadily drawing down
their balances with bankers, producing a limitation of loan¬
able resources among this class of lenders.
On Wednesday and to-day, the Assistant Treasurer has
sold gold to an amount which will involve the payment into
the Sub-Treasury of nearly five millions of currency. This
has produced a partial stringency in the money market,
which is likely to be still more apparent to-morrow, when
the sales of to-day will have to be settled.
The currency
thus withdrawn is not likely to make its appearance upon
the street again, until the payment of the interest on Seventhirties falling due on the 15th inst.

a
general disposition among Western merchants
to encourage the river
transportation lines, as a means of
reducing the present high rates charged by the roads. A large
amount of produce is, in fact, already taking
the Mississippi
route for Europe, and there would seem to be little doubt
that the roads must either reduce their rates of freight or suf¬
that there is

Governments. The moderate firmness
Treasury report have produced
tended to allay* appre¬
quarters of impending
complications with England or France. The decided allu¬
sions of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury to
measures providing for
the redemption of the whole public
debt within a reasonable period, and the unflinching deter¬
keep in all respects
mination shown in their documents to
good faith with the public creditors, have also added very
materially to the confidence in national securities; the desire
to make provision for the placing the finances in a sound con¬
dition, by the earliest possible resumption of specie pay¬
ments, has also had a like effect. The supposition that the
department reports and the message will produce increased
confidence in our securities abroad, and induce new orders
for them, has materially strengthened the old issue of Fivetwenties especially.
Steamers arriving on Tuesday and Wednesday brought
out orders for Five-twenties, which induced a rise of about
f- per cent, on the issue of 1862, with which other bonds and
Seven-thirties sympathised.
This morning the market
opened strong, and at the first board there was a general im¬
provement of } a } per cent.; but the apprehensions of a
stringent money market, resulting from the large Government
calls of gold, produced a slight downward reaction at the
afternoon board.
The closing quotations, however, show the
following improvement upon those of last Saturday : Sixes

enlivened by a brisk¬
speculative movement than has been experienced since
the close of the war. .Previous to the opening of Congress
the price had been run up by purchases made in anticipation
that the President’s Message would assume a menacing tone
upon foreign questions.
The publication of the message
produced a disappointment of this expectation, and the de¬
sire to sell predominated.
On Wednesday, the Assistant
Treasurer sold about 82,000,000 of gold, which produced a
decline from 148}, on Tuesday, to 147£.
To-day the gov¬
ernment has made further sales, to the extent of about

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Thanksgiving and some uncertainty as to the effect of the meet¬
ing of Congress upon monetary affairs has broken trade very much
during the week.
As was naturally expected there have been
but few regular buyers in town, and a great many who would
otherwise be in market have turned away to enjoy Thanksgiving,
leaving trade for the moment quiet. Regular transactions have
light. Many jobbers have, however, had some trade
in disposing of irregular lots and agents have closed out some ac¬
cumulations at nominal figures. With the more reasonable prices
of goods there has been some speculative transactions on the part
of a class who have little interest in regular, steady trade, but are
ready to “ bull ” or “ bear ” the market for their own private in- r
terests.
As intimated last week most grades of goods have reached
a firmer basis in the downward tendency of prices, and the tone of
the market is steadier, and a perceptibly firmer feeling prevails
notwithstanding the dullness and decline in the market for the raw

future of prices there is much vagueness and no well defined idea.
Some light goods, adapted for ladies’ cloakings and men’s wear,
suitable for a more Southern clime, have been selling recently at
very low rates.
Linseys are quiet and prices more steady than last week.

stocked, and with few exceptions foreign productions have sold at
reduced prices. Fine French Merinoes and Delaines, in choice co¬
lors are still in good demand. Cloths and Cassimeres of fine quali¬
ties bring fair rates. Fancy dress and stuff goods, particularly low
grades of British and German manufacture, are quite neglected.
Linen fabrics are in reqaest, and generally sell at satisfactory rates.
There have been some offeiings at auction during the week, and
although the competition among bidders is confined principally
to a few classes of the best goods, large amounts of others less
desirable have found purchasers at low quotations.

authority for the facts and projects stated herein. The American
Central Railway Company, which was organized in 1856 to build
a road from Fort Wayne, (Iud.,) to New Boston, (Ill.,) on the
Mississippi River, about 60 miles below Rock Island, has recently
been consolidated with the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago
Railroad Company. The original company graded some hundred
or so miles from New Boston eastward to Lacon in.Marshall
County,
but suspended further operations when the financial disasters of
1857 compelled a stoppage. The work will now be resumed. The
President of the original company, the Hon. John S. Thompson,
has been sent to England to negotiate for the purchase of iron for
the entire road from the Mississippi to the Indiana State line ; and
it is anticipated that the work will be vigorously resumed early in
the coming year, and the line so far completed before the close of
the year as to intersect with the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy
Railroad at Galena. This enterprise, if carried out, will give to
Philadelphia a very direct railroad to the Mississippi, and tend greatly
to the damage of the interests of Chicago.
Central Pacific Railroad.—The Sierra Nevada tunnel for
this railroad is about to be commenced.
It is a great work of en¬
gineering. The tunnel will be 1,750 feet, or about the third of a
length, twenty-six feet in width, and twenty feet high. The
excavation will be sufficiently wide for a double track whenever the
business of the line shall demand it. The entire work runs through

embarrassed, it i3 proposed to reorganize and pay its debt9 by the
issue of $500,000 in seven per cent bonds, Jo mature thirty years
after date, and secured by mortgage on the railroad, property and
franchises.
A majority of those interested in this matter have asseuted to the proposition, and the Oily Councils of Cincinnati, which

this Company will offer such arrangements as will se¬
cure to them as favorable terms as

From the great success of this Company, they are
enabled to offer superior advantages to policy-holders.
Life-policies are issued, payable in annual, or in
one, five, or ten annual, installments; also, non-for¬
feiture endowment policies, payable in ten annual
payments, which are
paid at death, or on arriving at
any particular age. Life insurance, as an investment,
has no superior, as it has saved millions of dollars to
the insured, and thousands of families from ruin.
Dividends are paid to policy-holders, thus enabling
them to continue their policies, if otherwise unable
to do so.
This favorable feature has been the means of saving
policies that would have been forfeited for
