The nilvantaycH of this city uro almost Innumerable, and many of the now men coming among us arc finding it ilitiicult to decide just what would prove the best paying enter prise they might select. We have ex cellent facilities for traniiportatjuii mid an abundant demand for almost every thing known to the catalogues; of com merce, or of manufacture. Our old set tlors cannot do too much to 'acquaint tho new comer with our limitloM re sources and valuable, advantages as u city, and we trust that every ,0110 will recognize a personal duty in sroing that, every man who reaches Dallas shall he ac-ijiiaiiiled with all its branches of industry and of trade before other places for locations are sought.

Jieing thus rendered roiistitutional, paper 11101 ey in all its forms spread its wings to carry us on to the beautiful and never changing regions of prosper ity, it was said, here at last is the grand desideratum in llnnnce obtained; u currency immutable in value, because it has no value; and above all, panics, because, bebig valueless, it is not ame nable to hoarding. Hence, always Hy ing, tho avenues of trade and com merce will be tilled with its beneficent presence, and by going) where it. is wanted, like the atmosphere, it will inspire life, happiness and prosperity everywhere. Now, theie was ono shadow which fell on this beautiful vision, which its self-complacent political charlatans seemed to have totally disregarded. Tim United Mates was (not a small island, or an iuslgnilicalit province, which could be easily henjmed around by a cordon of prohibiting. It w as a vast country, ill its eomnlerco next to one only ot (ho great nations of the world.' The 'currency of -tic world, hy which all the' mutual ooiiirjicri'e be tween the hations'of the world is par ried on, is specie. '.Paper vurroiiey of the United States,' as 11 worlibwide cur rency, is not worth the iuk,iind figures it contains, To do anythiiK with this currency to carry on their foreign com merce, "lt must become a matter of brokerage.

' It was ilemoueytizeil being unlike specie, witliout value. And yet in thejr yory next breuth, they alllnn ed that it was as tifood atj 'goltl,' beeqiiso it was issued un the fiuth of tlio UillfeU tjtatOH bonds, which were us good us gold. Credit piled on credit. This silly' inconsistency lias been exploded in the Into financial Convulsions at alt the centers Of ohinie'rcsi' ' Gold' uttackiHl this pa lief currency; tinder the leader sliipof Jay Gould j'aiiil itshrunk away. Then canie tho panic, becatist! the paper currency hud disappeared, und stocks raged on ' Wall street. And when more paicr currency was thrown upon tne market, it wa-s swallowed up by linnrding us fust as it was issued, bhd the pm'lie wpqt, oil. The.

These facts conclusively sliow two things: 1. That the financial convulsion under which we are luboring, is n con vulsion produced by our paper cur rency If the currency of the country had been. gi)h and nilvtr', i.r of paper, equivalent to gold und silver, no such enterprise would have Inn undertaken as that of Jay Gould to depreciate stocks. 'With rfll the avenues of trade rilled up with gold, or pnior converti ble into gold, as it is in Kuropc, a broker by buying up gold and holding it, may make it temporarily a liitle higher in value; but shipments of gold from Europe could be realised within teu or twelve days, and no convulsion from the currency could arise. 2. The delusion that a paper currency will never be hoarded, Ik cause value li4 iu Itwlt Is explodtMl; but it is provediut it is 'jiist ai meiiableto hoarding its gold and sllVor, and fur m-re productive of pauicn, from ItJ fluctuutiotiH. Tliis, we lielieve, is the fonrth pnnic we have expi-rteneol since the ottublishment of a pater currency in the United Statin, during which time there baa not been a single finan cial panic throughout the a;ieeie-ctir-rency nations in Kuropc, while France ban sustained the excnfca of a deso lating war, with the payment of enor mous puliKidics to Germany, without the least financial disturbance from her unchanged oietaiiie currency.
