THE PRESIDENT ON THE FINAN¬
CIAL QUESTION.
We deem thetelegraphic synopsis, which
we have already published,a suflicent state¬
ment of most of the views and recommen¬
dations of the President in his late mes¬
sage. But the telegrphic report of that
portion of the message devoted to currency
and the panic was rather meagre and un¬
satisfactory. We therefore copy this por¬
tion in full. It gives us pleasure to say
that in our humble judgment the Presi¬
dent’s views ou this subject are ixr the
main judicious aud regulated with a view
to the adoption of a wise and safe perma¬
nent policy rather than delusive tempora¬
ry expedients. We are not as hopeful as
he appears to be of the ability of tne Gov¬
ernment and the National Banks to return
to specie payments at an early period, but
we fully agree with him as to the impolicy
of losing the approach which has been
made in that direction by working up an¬
other inflation. We are not so fully con¬
vinced of the good policy of enoouruging
“elasticity” and great periodical changes
in the volume of the currency, when so
many financial gamblers stand ever ready,
with their control of fifty or one hundred
millions, to make the fluctuations by
which they derive their ill gotten gains at
the expense of the industry and commerce
of the country. The President’s idea that
the negroes of the South are hoarding in
their pockets any considerable portion of
the currency, is a queer one, to say the
least.
But we intended rather to introduce
than to comment on this portion of the
message; and here it is:
THE PANIC.
The revenues have materially fallen oil'
for the first five months of the present fis¬
cal year from what they were expected to
produce, owing to the general panic now
prevailing, which commenced about the
middle of September. The full extent ot
this disaster (if it should not prove a bles¬
sing in disguise) is yet to be demonstra¬
ted. In either event it is your duty to
heed the lesson and to provide by wise
aud weil considered legislation, and as far
as it lies in your power to take advantage
of all benefits that may have accrued.
SPECIE PAYMENTS.
My own judgment is that, however
much individuals may have suffered, one
long step has been taken towards specie
payments; that we can never have a per¬
manent prosperity until a specie basis is
reached, aud that a specie basis cannot be
reached and maintained until our exports,
exclusive of gold, pay for our imports, in¬
terest due abroad and other specie obliga¬
tions, or so nearly so as to leave an appre¬
ciable accumulation of the precious
metals in the country from the products
of our mines.
The development of the mines of pre¬
cious metals during the past year and the,
prospective development of them for years
to come, are gratifying in their results.
Could but one-half of the gold extracted
from the mines be retaiued at home, our
advance towards specie payments would
be rapid.
To increase our exports, sufficient cur¬
rency is required to keep ali the industries
of the country employed. Without this,
national as well as individual bankruptcy
must ensue. Undue inflation, on the
other baud, while it might give temporary
relief, would only lead to inflation of
prices—the impossibility of competing in
our own markets for the products of home
skill and labor, and repeated renewals of
present experiences.
ELASTICITY IN THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM.
Elasticity in our circulating medium,
therefore, and just enough of it to trans¬
act the legitimate business of the coun¬
try and keep all industries employed is
what is most to be desired. The exact
medium is specie—the recognized medium
of exchange the world over. That obtain¬
ed we shall have a currency of au exact
degree of elasticity. If there be too much
of it for the legitimate purpose of trade
and commerce, it will flow out of the
country; if too little, the reverse will re¬
sult. To hold what we have and to ap¬
preciate our currency to that standard is
the problem deserving of the most seri¬
ous consideration of Oougress.
THE CUBRENCr SATISFACTORY.
The experience of the present panic has
proven that the currency of the country
based, as it is, upon the credit of the
country', is the best that has ever been
devised. Usually, in times of such trials,
the currency has become wortless or so
much depreciated in value as to inflate
the values of all the necessaries of life as
compared with the currency. Every one
holding it has been anxious to dispose of
it on any terms. Now, we witness the
reverse—holders of currency hoard it as
they did gold in former experiences of a
like nature. It is patent to the most cas¬
ual observer, that much more currency
or money is required to transact the legit¬
imate trade of the country during the fall
and winter month* when the vast crops
are being removed than during the bal¬
ance of the year With our present sys¬
tem the amount in the country remains
the same throughout the entire year, surplus re¬
sulting in an accumulation of ali
capital of the country in a few centres.
When most employed in the moving of
crops, tempted there by the offer of in¬
terest on call loans, interest being paid,
this surplus capital must earn this inter¬
est paid, with a profit. Being subject to
‘"call,” it cannot be loaned— only in part
at best—to the merchant or manufacturer
for a fixed time. Hence no matter how'
much currency there might be in the
r'-Ssw-i be recurring with the »“‘ d
autumn.
Elasticity in our monetary system,
therefore, is the object to be attained
first, and next to that, as far as possi peoples e,
a prevention of the use of other
money in stock and other speculations.
HOW TO PREVENT SPECULATION.
To prevent the latter it seems to me
that one great step would be taken bv
prohibiting the national banks from pay
iug interest on deposits, by requiring them
“ndby^rS“nt elr ru% a tt”:
though it would be only in legal tender
notes.
GOVERNMENT CLEARING HOUSES.
_ For this , . purpose T I would ,, suggest . the
establishment of clearing houses fur your
r»rxr» consideration, uirlt* rati mi To io hppiitp secure the tne former lomier
many plans have been suggested, most if
not all of which look to me more ake in
flation, on the one hand, or compelling
tne Government, on the other, to pay in
terest without corresponding benefits
upon the surplus funds of tbe country du
ring the seasons when otherwise unern
ployed.

VOL. XIX.
low a fixed percentage of, their, issue, say
40 per cent., upon the banks’ depositing
with the Treasurer of the United States
an amount of Government bonds equal to
the amonnt of notes demanded—the banks
to ^forfeit to the Government say 4 per
cent, of the interest accruing ou the
bonds so pledged, during the time they
remain with the Treasurer, as security
for the increased circulation—the bonds
so pledged to be redeemable by the banks
at their pleasure, either in whole or part,
by returning their owu bills for cancella¬
tion to an amount equal to the face of the
bonds withdrawn.
I would further suggest for your con¬
sideration the propriety of ^authorizing
the national banks to diminish their
standing issue at pleasure, by returning
for cancellation their owu bills and with¬
drawing so many United States bonds as
are pledged for the bills returned.
PEEK BANKING.
la view of the great actual contraction
that has taken place in the currency, and
the comparative contraction continuously
going on, due to the increase of popula¬
tion, increases of manufactures and all the
industries, I do not believe there is too
much of it now for the dullest period of
the year. Indeed, if clearing houses
should be established, thus forcing re¬
demption, it is a question for your con¬
sideration whether hanking should not be
made free—-retaining all the safeguards
now required to secure bill-holders on any
modification of the present laws regulat¬
ing national banks.
As a further step towards preparing for
resumption of specie payments, I invite
your attention to a consideration of the
propriety of exacting from them the re¬
tention, as a part of their reserve, either
the whole or a part of the gold interest
accruing upon the bonds pledged as secu¬
rity for their issue. I have not reflected
enough on the bearing this might have
in producing a scarcity of coin with which
to pay duties on imports to give it my
positive recommendation, but your atten¬
tion is invited to the subject.
PEOOKES8 OF CONTRACTION.
During the last four years the currency
has been contracted directly by the with¬
drawal of three per cent, certificates,
compound isterest, notes and seven-thirty
bonds outstanding on the 4th of March,
18(19, all of which took the place of legal
tenders in the bank reserves to the -extent
of $03,000,000. During the same period
there has been a much larger comparative
contraction of the currency. The popu¬
lation of the country has largely increas¬
ed. More than 25,000 miles of railroad
have been built—requiring the active use
of the capital to operate them. Millions
of acres of land have been opened to cul¬
tivation, requiring Manufactures capital to move the
products. have multiplied
beyond all precedent in the same period
of time, requiring capital weekly for the
payment of wages and for the purchase of
material; and probably the largest of all
comparative contraction arises from the
organization of free labor in the South.
Now every laborer there receives his
wages, and for want of savings banks it
is carried in the pockets or hoarded until
required for use.
These suggestions are thrown out for
your consideration without recommenda¬
tion that the}' shall be adopted literally,
but hoping the best method may be ar¬
rived at to secure such an elasticity of
the currency as will keep employed all
the industries of the country, and prevent
such an inflation as will put off indefi¬
nitely the resumption of specie payments
—au object so devoutly to be wished for
by all, aud by none more earnestly than
the class of people most directly interest¬
ed—those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow. The decisions of
Congress on this subject will have the
hearty support of the Executive.

Ja -TTtOR nearly a year I have offered to sell the
entire material, good will, Ac., of the EU¬
FAULA TIMES, of including health, its JOB OFFICE,
< n account my which became so se¬
riously impaired last winter as to confine me
to my bed and room for a number of months.
Having lailed to effect a private sale, I am
now determined to sell at PUBLIC OUTCRY
ON HER, MONDAY, (ii sold THE 1ST DaY OF DEUEmI
not before) provided I can on that
day realize anything like an approximate val¬
ue of the establishment, Job which includes Pow¬
er Pre.-s. Presses. Type, Stocks, Pa¬
per Cutters, &c., &c.; the whole comprising
abundant material for a Daily and Weekly
edition - f the paper, and a first-class JOB
OFFICE, ail ot which is in good condition,
and a make, great is deal, including Power Press, of
late as good as new.
Some advantages of buying:—The pape r and
Job office already enjoy good patronage, es¬
tablished lor years.
The location is one of the finest in the South.
The Railroad facilities for sending its circu¬
lation other rapidly to great distances ahead of all
papers, are unexcelled.
The mail facilities South and West of us are
good and improving.
Eutaula is a thrifty little city, steadily and
permanently The investment improving. be made CHEAPER
can
and on BETTEK TERMS than everb fore or
hereafter. In short, I am DETERIVi INED
TO SELL, if possible, in spite of tbe depreci¬
ated value of all property in these times.
I Printers, therefore, would consult their • wn
Interests by , consultingme. ... lnlormation , , as to
