Repot ( of Senate Committee on FImbm.
We have alalcd that this report contains not
only unsound doctrine (tut would violate good
faith towards the Banks. We copy the follow
ing portion of the Report:
“ The proposed .arrangement of the currency
■night havo some great advantages in the future
to which it may not be amiss at this time to ad
vert* With proper legislation on the part of
the Stairs it may be made probably the best pa
per circulation yet devised. If after the war
this government should issue treasury notes
mended to bring about something like each an
equilibrium, nothing should be dono to de
press, but everything lo elevate the value of
the certificates. To reduce the rate of inter
est on them, wonld not be the most expedi
ent method of effecting this object. The on
ly method of-bringing into fnller demand the
certificates, besides raising the ra'e of inter
est on them, is by organizing a system of do
mestic exchanges, by which these certificates
wonld form *’a means of remittance. This
could only be done by the co-operation of the
Banks, as this would materially interfere
with their profits on domestic exchange. Tho
same difficulty would present itself here as
in the case of the Banks receiving Treasury
notes on deposit, and in payment.
But our chief purpose is with the views of the
Committee in relation to Foreign exchange.—
The rate of Foreign exchange is the sole crite
rion by which Ve are able to compare tho value
of onr currency with that of foreign currencies.
The committee would abolish this criterion,
and leavo us without the means of comparison,
by which our currency would be kept within its
proper limits. The self adjustment of which
the committee speaks, if even practicable,

marks as would distinguish them, then the Con
federate government would not be able, in times
ol temptation, to depreciate their currency by
increasing it too far.
There can be little doubt that the circulating
medium thus constituted, would be safer, aud
afford a steadier standard of value, than any
paper hermpfore used for that purpo.-e. It this
currency mould be of less value ttian a call err
tificato secured by the Coulederatc government,
guaranteed by the Slate, and paying six per
cent, interest, then a portion ot it would lie
lundcd in these certificates until the residue
rose to an equal value. If on the other hand,
Irom any sudden demand, this residue of the
currency should be worth more than the call
certificate, dollar for dollar, such a portion of
these certificates would be reconvened as would
reatore the equilibrium between the two. All
that would be necessary would be to keep the
vilue-ot these certificates at specie pir, or near
it. To do this, the government have power at
any .lime to pay off these cerificates in specie,
exist to avoid the evils of redundancy and de*
preciation t As matters formerly stood, under a
system of specie payments, it was the action of
the public that regulated circulating credit.-—
That action would occasionally become irregu
lar-speculative. The Banks would, at times,
for the sake of profit, nurse speculation, render
the circulating medium excessive, leading to the
exportation of specie. But there was some rule
or principle by which to be governed, in the ads
ministration of the currency, although subject
to jerks in 'the movement of the machinery.—
Now, by what rule, except the public wants
could State administrators ol the currency be
governed t

In the Federal Constitution tne following I I set out to show that neither the Confederate
