Henderson, of Missouri, who has devote! long and careful study ii to inattora of finance, Iiuh addressed to i< HocroUry C'urliulo tho following com* u luunicutloa: hi To lion. Joiiii U. Carlisle, i'cerrlari/of ihe Treasury: b I promised to give you in writing tho subatunco of uiy statements mado to you " in conversation touching tho tnonotary condition of tho country. I thou ox- ,J pressed tho bnliof that tho present strin- r' f;oncy is produced, not by any lack of 1 usutlicioncy of our currency, but by tho loss of contldonco produced among bus- 0 iuesH mon becauso of tho bad quality or [l ' inferior charucter of u largo purt of that [! currency. 11 There is no error of more common u prevalence than that tho abundance of Ml mduoy issue uoeossurily is to tho com* (l mercial or buaiuufis uuorgy of u people. " Of course u certain amount of money u tokens aro absolutely essential with M which to oU'oot tho atnallor oxehangea Hl of coin mod itlos. 11 These money tokoua do not croato u ?xchangea, but tho exchanges creute u 0 necessity .for tho tokens. Monoy tokoua Jv do not grow whoafc and corn, nor manu- " facturo cloth, nor operato inilroads, nor " euil ships. Labor and skill do those tiling; uud among a pooplo ontiroly v civilised ovor 03 por cent of the ex- y change* liecosaary in these operation* Cl are consummated through tho medium of bank chocks. Experience demon- etratoa that this mode of oxchango is ~ moro convenient, aafer aud leas expon- ^ aive, and experience also demonatratoa t.1 that theso bank facilities become en* 11 lurgod or contracted as inonoy tokons 11 become acarco or abundant. This is a business law as inexorable us the laws of nuturo. Ilence thoro is leas danger Cl in limiting the bulk of circulating f1 money than pjjoplo generally imagino. ^ Tho bank chock ia bettor for another 11 reason, to wit: That having porformod its office it coasos to circuluto; it ia re- S mnvnirfrnm tho voltimn of circulating mutiny and ia forovor cancolod. If tho oxlgoncioa of buainoas domand & anothor chock it in issued unnwatid that in lilco uiuunor ia destroyed wliou ita object haa buun accomplished. Wo shall c nover havo a perfoct curroncy until ii ovory noto usou for circulation 'shall bo destroyed on its roturu to the authority isauimr it, and no new noto hauod ox* ) except for value and only at tho call of w bueinusa demands. J'luL'lund has coino t to this and Aiaorica with England's ox* porienco will do likowisn Tho amount of monoy in circulation per capita atnoug tho pooplo. of tho 11 United 8tateson tho first day of July 5 from 1873 to 1893 inclusivo ia thenglvon. 1 Continuing, Mr. Henderson aaya: I l! think 1 am aafo in assorting that from d July 1, 1878, to July J, 1893, we onioyod J very groat proapority, individwil and 11 nationally. There was no lack of monoy. Tho avorago por capita circulatlun dur- 1 ing that period wa8 $20 01. From July, T 1800, to tho proBent, a poriod of groat 11 i?/>nn4arv atrltiirnnntf wit IS 11 < 1 nn nvnr. tl ago circulation por capita of $23 05. It 11 is theroforo apparent that in tho coin- 0 mon parlanco "times" may bo "hard" c and monoy scarco with tho most abun- 1 dant circulation. If, on a givon day, 8 the activo businessmon of u community, ? for reasons, good or bad, but satisfactory 1 to theinsolvoa, resolve to mako no further contracts, to ouit all business transac- 11 tions, a Booming scarcity of money is 0 tho rosult. Whatever tho volume of I' tho circulating medium, It does not irn- 0 poso itnolf unon anybody. lie who gets ? it must uivo an equivalent for it. . If 1 nobody wants his labor or his property ho can cot no monoy. If ho who hus it 1 rofuHos to loan it, m fear that tho currency to bo' paid back at maturity of 1 loan will bo loss valuable, the condition c is ono of stagnation and "scarcity of n monoy" is tho consequence. ' u Tho panic of 1878, was, without c doubt, the diroct result of spoculation 1 andovertrading, induced by tho green- c back ora, beginning in 18G2-3. Uotwoen ? 3803 and 1873, both inclusivo, tho bul- ' unco of foreign trade against us was V $1,080,440,687, that ih wo imported into 11 this country during those elevon venrs, H and over and above our oxports of mor- * chaudito, this onormous sum, over one thousand million dollars. Two years after adopting tho 9 single standard, to wit, in 1875, a mean- c urewus inaugurated and passed for the n resumption of spocie payments to be* 1 come oporutivo January 1.1S70. If these 0 two measures had remainod on tho 11 statute books inviolate and unamended c there is no reason why the United ' Hates and its pooplo should not to*day l. enjoy tho most unbounded prosperity. J We should have had tho best and most abundant currency?a gold currency of universal value and of such volumo as < to force its circulation us in Knglnnd, Franco, and Germany into tho hands of tho poonlo. To l>o assured of tho ? fact it is only necessary to examine the conditions of commerce for the last ( seventeen yonrs. t Of tho five or six hundrod millions of 1 gold with which we began in 1878 none 'J can now be found in circulation. What has not gouo to foreign countries, en* ? Joy in),' the blessing of a single stun* third, has been hoarded, not to c reappear until its holders have 1 Memo guarantee that if loaned it will be returned in money equally good. 1 The gold certitlcates not already forced u upon the govornmont for redemption of which tho ono hundred million (told \ reserve is suppouod to bo held by the government constitute the best security | of tho national banks, and hence the greenback is rapidly disappearing. Tho t national banknotes are necessarily < held, if possible, by tho banks issuing them, in fear that in tho extremity of distrtys thulr* redemption tony soon bo asked in gold. Nothing is loft but f silver certitlcate and treasury nolo*. The banks aro unable to maintain their lawful reserves. They can give J Ito relief to a suffering community. ' What now Is the remedy? I First?Tho custom duties should 1 lieteafter bo tiaid in gold alone. n fctoeoud?Th? silver bullion iu tho c ovorniuont vaults should at odco bu old for cash in gold and tho prooooda overed in tlio treasury, Tliird?Threo pur cunt cold bonda to ho uiiiouut of }300,u00,0j0 should ho romptly aold und the procooda trailnarrou to tho troaaury.

Eighth?All bank issues to be roeuuied in gold coin on demand. Ninth?All foreign gold coin should e made 11 legal tender for debt and sceivitblo for government duties at lielr vuluo as fixed by law. Tenth?Previous to tho first of Janury, 1SJ8, the surplus fund of tho troasry, oither from loans or collections to c placod with the banks in such secions of the country unu in such mounts us may be detorminod by the icrotury. It is not poverty but distrust that aficts the country. Our fabric of financo luat bo torn down una punt anew. tt as conceived in error, and ovory :op incroaacd the departure from uth, Tho act of 1878 was dishonorblo to tho government and minus to tho people.

Ho drovo directly to tho admiralty ofllco whoro tho admiral* ty board, notiliod in advancoyofbis coming, rocoivod und road tho dispatches at once. Tho board decided to publish tho dispatched in full forthwith. Tho first dispatch was dated from tho war ship Camperdown on June 22. It says: "It ia with moat profound roitrot that 1 havo to report tho total loss of hor mnjosty's snip Victoria, involving the irreparable loss of tho commander*in* chief, Vico Admiral Sir Goooko Tyrou, twenty-two otlicers, aud 330 men, undor tho following 'circumstances: "Tho squudrou consisting of her maiosty'a ships Victoria, Campordown, Nile, Dreadnought, InUoxible, Collini!wood, Phaeton, Edinburgh, Kan Sparcil, Edirar, Aphion, Fearless and Jiarhutu, loft Uayrout about 10 o'clock this forenoon for Tripoli. Shortly after tho squadron formed singlo columns lino abreast and proceeded at tho rate of about eight knots an hour. Whon ubout five miles from tho anchorage oil Tripoli tho signal was made ut 2:20 in tho aftornoon to form columns of divisions in lino ahoad disposed uboaui to port?tho columns to be six cublo lengths apart. "\Vo proceoded in this formation until 3:28, whon tho signal was mado from tho Victoria to tho llrst division to turn sixtoen points to port and to tho socond division to turn sixtoon points to starboard. As tho columns wero only six cable longths apart it was not, there* fore, in my opinion, possible within tho maneuvering distance to execute such an evolution. 1 directod the ilug lioutonant to keep the signal which wo wore repeating at dip as indication that tho signal from tho Victoriu was not understood. "1 thon diroctod him to signal with tho semaphore: 'Do I nndoratimd it is your wish for tho columns to turn us indicated by tho aixiinl now llylng'/' Hut boloro my ordor could bo carrlcd out tho commander-in-chief eoraaphorod mo to know what I was wnidng for.

I watchodvory carefully tho holm of tho Victoria as indicating tho purnoso of hor signals. As tho two ships turned toward oaeli other, and sooing that tho helm of tho Victoria was still hard starbanrd, 1 directed tho captain of tho Campcrdown to go full head astern with tho starboard's crow in order to decrease our circle of turning. "Seeing that a collision was inovitablo, 1 then ordorod him to go full spood as torn with both' on^ines, but boforo our Bpood could bo materially chocked tho atom of tho Campordown struck tho Victoria on tho starboard bow about twonty foot boforo tho turrot and crushod into tho ship almost to tho contro lino, thou fore and aft linns of tho ship, at tho timo of tho collision being iucliuod towards oach othor at an angle of obout eighty dogroes.

Tho wator tight doors of tho Cum per* down had boon elosod by my orders boforo tho collision occurred.

Tho combined efforts of tho squadron resulted in tho saving of twenty-nine olllcers; and about 330 men, tho majority of whom were, in all probability, bolow at tho timo, wore lost.
