How to I norease the Value of Greenbacks.

From the Chicago Tribuuo. ! The paper currency of the i United States, Including under that" term legal tenders, national BanklSTotesj ceitlficates of indebtedness, etc., amounts in round numbers to 8750,000,000. The Treasury contains 120,000,000 in gold, and its gold receipts average $3,000,000 per week, or 8150,000,000 . a year. This currency has a value in money of 71 1 ai j - 1 ....-v S.- A tM. veins on me aoiiar. - it it were at par, it would be largely la excess of the business wants of the country, as 8250,000,r 000 of gold is as much as the country will need to have on hand at any one time. ' ? The , Secretary of the Treasury has, since July, 1866, contracted the currency to the extent of 8200,000,000, but has not increased its value one cent. Greenbacks have no more purchasable power now than they had before contraction took place. They now stand where they have stood for a year, with the exception of an occasional fall of five or six cents. Contraction,' therefore, as a means of increasing the value of the currency, . is proved to be a failure. There must be some other means resorted to. Contra6tion may' go 6n until the whole currency is retired; bnt that promises vir- . tual repudiation of every private' debt i in tnc larra, oy tue 5 destruction j means of v Wax it of the order is tcdly shown, the greenbacks are in fact nothing else than a form of government bond, which differs from five-twenties only in the fact Of bearing no interest, and being s always due.. The only . proximate re- ? demptibn of these non-interest bearing ana overdue , bocd3 is, .their, re-invest-mcnt in other ids bearing interest, i and having a terra of years to run. The Value, of air,promi3esto,;pay depends ' upon the meansj provided . for4- redenip- " tion. J As. long a? the bonds, remain be- " low par, the non. interest, bearing green backs mut .remain lower as the bonus advance, greenbacks advance;, as the ' bonds fall,;greenbacks.fall. Thus bonds are selling at 100 in greenbacks, which ' is equal to 75 cents, in gold, while green- ' backs are worth 75 cents, f The bonds ' form the great bulk of the Federal debt, ' and they must appreciate before green-; ' bracks wilt advance.; f . ., t t i. ioUUl , I jConzrcss by its, legislation should, ar- " rest t Construction at its present (point, and ; direct . that the" Treasury Departr toenthall cell in New. York ten to twenty millions jofvgoid . every month until the f goidin the Treasury shall be reduced to the necessary. reserve.:. The gold in the Treasury has been withdrawn from the business - of . the country; - it bears no interest, is that much actual money capital? hoarded, and ' is as useless to the country as if it were yet in the mines. The ordinary receipts of gold from customs are much more than equal to the wants of the Government, and the sale ( of 875,000,000 of gold, and the application of the proceeds- to the purchase of gold interest bearing bonds, and the removal of that amount from the market, . would have the immediate - effect of iriJ creasing 'their value. ,f The number ?of Government ' bonds actually " held and ? sold from day ; to day ;iti? New York is comparatively a smaU portion of the 1 .would wipe out the4 speculative stock t which would have to be -replaced by drawing upon those held for investments. Capitalists who draw their six per cent. in gold want no better Investment V they . will not sell -at current 'rates, and 'the 6tipply needed for speculative and stock .jobbing purposes -would; have to be ob- , tnihed at an advance,' which possibly ,t would not stop short of fifteen cents, f carrying- the bonds up to 90. L?t those , who are urging contraction as a means , of pi ecipitatingT specie ' payments esti- . mate the effect of an advance in tfae-priee of bonds from 75 to 90. The purclyas5 ing valise of the 8760,OC0,0U0 currency r of all liinds now held by- the -people 1 would be advanced in their hands 8113,000,000 ; there w,ould be an , ; addition of , 875,000,000, of goldt to the circulating i metallic medium of the country, and the ) debt would be reduced by one hundred . millions, and the interest in gold , stopf ped thereon. ,. Jn every , possible "form the benefit of such a proceeding would , reach the people.. The laborer with bis ten dollar bill would have-one dollar and a , half. addd j to its r- purchaseable power ; the gold market would be.relieved by the liberal supply not import ed but already collected from the people and lying .hoarded , audi useless in .the Treasury ; and the annual- tax in gold to pay. the 5 interest' .would be s diminished ; .86,000,000. ,: , .-..-'.r s: v ' .-i. , The experience of- two y ears f'and a t half has demonstrated that the 1 public ?credit can I not be improved by burning jup the' currency. Jjlfj the 'Government j put all its 'greenbacks in bonds, it will ; not improve the . latter; but if the value of the bonds' be : improved Jby . reducing their number,:! the-alue f of the f green-' . backs will ; advance ; in the i same ratio.. Tbe funded . debt: of the s country ' has. .been increased by the amount of curren.cy.withdrawnbu as every dpllar added .to - the funded..' debt reduces 'the market valde, of ksourseithe contraction i of greenbacks has not had the slightest improving effect Let the" greenbacks j alone they do not regulate' the value of

the bonds ; arid Tef'lhe Secretary direct his energies, not to depreciate the bonds by constantly adding-' to their amount, but by throwing his hoarded, useless gold ' into circulation, and retiring as manj' bonds as it will purchase. Every bond paid off with gold now idle improves the valueof the remaining ones, and relieves the market by returning to it the real capital which the Seeretary now abstracts and buries.

Taxation and Appropriations. Mr. Hooper, of Massachusetts, introduced a resolution in the House yesterday to the efTect that there ought not to be over three hundred millions of dollars collected by tftxation in one year, and instructing the Committee on Appropriations to keep the appropriations within that figure. The collections for the fiscal vear ending July 1, 1867, amounted to 4fW,O00,000 a weight of taxation which is wholly unnecessary, and which the people are determined not to endure. It is a capital idea to fix some limit which appropriations shall not exceea. The Appropriation Committee, when thus instructed, must cut their garments to suit their cloth. If that committee l'eels any embarassment in finding objects that will bear retrenchment, we can relieve them by pointing out in which a huge saving of expenditure can be effected, viz : Army, and navy. The 877,000,000 demanded for the support of the standing army should be cut down one-half and the military' establishment reduced to correspond. - The navy can safely b3 re duced .one-third oa the estimates. On these two branches of service forty millions of money can be saved. ,, Appropriations for sea coast fortifications may be saved to the extent of seventy-five per cent, of the demand made by the engineers. ? The prompt admission! of the Southern States, on compliance "ivith the terms, of the Reconstruction acts, will avoid the necessity of any -appropriations for the support of the Freedmen's Burau and ail future costs on account of reconstruction. ? - ; . If the pruning knife he properly em ploj-ed in the civil , service, several millions of ' useless " exper diture may be avoided. ; Let the committee study the interest; of the tax payers, and not of the tax eaters, and the i-e will be no serious diIicult3r. in keeping the aggregate of the nppropri itions under, three hundred millions, 'which will, enable Congress to repeal a large mass of oppressive taxation. Chi. Tri. r The Peakl Geoceet. Charley Buckhardt's Grocery, on Xprth , Pearl street, is well worth a-yjiit by any one having an empty, basket and is obl'ged to have it filled with the . things tb.-it : go to sustaining the, inner man.. ?K veryShing in the, vegetable and fruit line fiour and feed coffee, tea and sugar candies and the best cider vinegar in the city nuts of all kinds candy to3s of all forms and shapes conceivable ; iu short, every thing that should be kept in a.

Cur neighbor of the "Winchester Journal, complains that we gave credit to the Indianapolis Journal for an article on ''Democratic Taxation, that should have been placed to its credit We certainly clipped from the latter the first part of that article .aad gave it credit,; whil 3 1, to its Winchester namesake, we also did the gatnefor the' ending of that article'.
