At the time of the passing I of the currency law it was perhaps eight i hundred millions. Although it is a gemr- i ally aduiilled fact that the inflation of the currency ?iih not the solo cause of the high i prices of necessaries, yet it was a most iin porlaot cause, and this cause now being removed, according to well established ' principles there must be a corresponding I decline in prices.

I But it unlet be remain bared that the currency Act reatriat* tbe Secretary of the Treasury within cefL-iin bounds, and the in dicationa now are that it will not be necessary far bin to issue to the extent allowed. The aix per cent. be.ids provided for in the currency law will bu thrown upon the market, a fid as these boeda poseaa impellent advantages over other Uo\ t-raMeni securities. ihey will be resdily taken up; und peasibly fion It.is eeuree alone adequate means will be obtained for the necessary expenditure ot llie Government.
