Th'6 le-: galized currency of a nation ...underlies and really controls all her industries.: We: have given much care to the consideration of the subject, and have, from time to time, discussed various arguments offered for ancLi v 0 i' n: * against the udoption of an exclusively paper' currency baavl upon National wmtlth, ignor-1 ing gold and silver except as an arucie merchandise; putting these nietals upon the same iasis as other products of the country. From all the suggestions offered, we cannot discover a single valid objection to a currency of paper issued by the Government, the volume of which shall be adjusted at all times by is convertibility into interest boaring Government bonds, and re-conversion, into legal tender notes in both cases at the option of the holder. 1 We. earnestly desise that our contcmpdries of the Press should give this matter careful thought' at an early day, waiving aMprcjurlce in favor of this or that theory which tradition has handed down to us.'~ ;i ' : -1' ' ' r i. 4 ' 9 1 f # We say that gold is not now, never was, and never can be a true -standard .of. value.

In anothor column of this issue we publish , a copy of a protest of a legal tender note. Our object in demanding the paymeut of a legal tender nutc, was simply to attract the attention of the publicto the question, "Does our lcg.il tender paper dollar represent a dollar or nut?'' It cannot be said that it .is a dollar, and yet that is not; th?t is an absurdity. If legal tender notes are dollars, what right has the Secretary of the Treasury tot. pay a largo premium in legal tender notes for 5.20 Bonds, upon which the 5 year option nas matured? ll"they arc not dollars, but promises to pay dollars, why are they not redeemed on'demand? They have been for a'ltfng time outstanding, and still the Government nogWs to pay them. : All parties are agreed that the country needs ah elastic currency that will# meet the requirements of trade at all times. We claim that the only method of perfecting our currency is to issue a Government token, and; make it a legal tender for all debts or demands, public or private,'in accordance with th'e theory announced in the seventh article ofour Commercial and Financial Platform. the same idea gf an improved currency is contained, in the advice gvveq jn a letter,.addressed to-Hon. Win. II. Seward, while he k > was Secretary of State. We reproduce; the' letter on the seventh page of the issue j and usk for it a thoughtful reading. We uuhesi-. tatiugly predict that the plan of intcrchangabilityof Legal-Tcndor Notes with ^Gevern" " Hnblfiv mCnt JJonus. at tue uuuun ui which is therein advocated, will in less than .7 - . five years from this date be made the hpsis of ourcurrency. "To < : We shall continue to labor and anxiously hope for the early adoption of a reform, of, our currency, which ;issp,.seriously needed. The. coinage, of metal has in every instance thus far utterly failed to supply a currency of steady value. W e know whereof we speak in these 'matters, for we have suffered severely from the evils growing out of an unstable currency. ' In the month of September, 1S57, we were made painfully aware of the fact that gold advauccd in price at least fifty per cent, within the space of ten or twenty days at most, We admit that gold did not then sell at a premium, for it was our only legal tender. We do claim, however, that it required fifty'( per cent, inoro tea', sugar, coffee, rice, etc., etc., to buy a given amount of gold than it did thirty days previous to'that date.

The fishing is carried on in the following manner: Arrived at the point where they 3xpect to .find the fish, the captain spreads his nets from the stern of the boat; they have corks at the upper edge, and, lead at the lower, arranged so as to fall and keep in a vortical positiun. lie then throws into the sea, on each side of the net, the bait?cod tish row from Norway, of which the sardine is excessively fond; trying to pass through the uets they are.caught.
