Tliey make out tlieir bills indorsed in red ink " Payable in gold or silver coin." This is simply saying to the purchaser, " .Mr. , we sell you these goods expecting you to pay ns for them in coin, which in honor we think you are hound to do, though in Imc we know we are obliged to take (iorcniiucnt currency if you choose to oiler it, but if you do pay us in notes, we shall sell you no more goods unless the coin ac companies the order.'' While gold is worth from fifteen to twenty per cent, pre mium, it is quite natural that u trader who has a sharp eye to profits should wish to j btY" fu,l.v "P t0 tlu' 'nmuh of the hour, get his pay for $1,000 worth cf goods in n j nluI I'rou'M l!ll't our statesmen of to day kind of currency that he can sell at a Iro- j nro 110 wSse u'!,'ik1 ' managed kcr's office for $1,150 or $1,200 thus j l,;c -! o eniiiunt i;i its iuf.incy-the asser making a profit on his goods twice.

No thing indicates the public coi.fidcr.ce in the stability of a government nj much as the m.uket (uo:ations of its stocks and curren cy.

The Shy lock or secessionist who would attempt to depreciate the currency of our diiy by insti tuting a comparison between the evidences of Government indebtedness i.ow afloat and the paper money of I. evolutionary times, shows his utter ignorance of history. IJefors the Revolutionary wur had been carried on as long as the present contest lias already lasted, over two hundred mill ions of paper currency had been issued by the general government by the authority of j sbongrcsH. jj(iues mis, ine ."states liael, in their eagerness to provide a much-needed circulating medium in the almost total ab ifnee of gold and silver, authorized an emission of paper amounting in the aggre gate to over two hundred millions more. This put in circulation among a population ol three millions, without internal resources, li stitute of commerce to rni.-.e revenue, and destitute of coin in which tuxes had to be jniid, nearly five hundred millions iu paper ciirreti'-y amounting to ubout one hundred nml sixty dollars for each man, woman, and i-hild in the "struggling colonics Counting our present population at twenty live mill ions of loyal people, a corre sponding hsue -of Government currency now would amount to four thouhand millions, which, at a cott nf a million and a half a day, would cnuble in to carry on thej wHr se.vi n yearn and a iin,rter beforo wc should Imve emitted as lunch pape r currency us was afloat seion nf t. r the breaking out of the Revolution.
