Tlio President oil the look. Out- The views expressed by the President on the fiaaucial situation as reported by telegraph, contain Doth tug original, nothing evincing that grasp of thought, which a grave, national emergency demands. He does not suggest an idea that has not been, rehearsed until it has become threadbare. President Grant d walls largely upon the causes that contributed to the crisis which but lately convulsed the country, and from the effects of He which' it has not yet recovered. does not, however, designate a practical way of unraveling the labyrinth of difficulties io which our finances ; are wound up. It is not sufficient to inveigh against the mauia for speculation, which lie has doire so much to encourage. What is required, is some healthy action on the part of the Government to iuaugu-rat- o a policy which would support the legitimate commercial and industrial interests of the country, and thwart the efforts of adventurers and gamblers in diverting business from its regular channel. The President fails to make any bound or intelligible snggestiou that meets the requirements of the country at a time when its finances are disordered and business interests are languishing from want of substantial relief. It is true that he proposes to recommend the enactment of a free banking law, as a panacea for the evils which rise from a limited circulation. This recommendation would be generally accepted with favor if it were ; understood that the of the Government in the management of institutions charter-c- d under the operations of such a law should be guarauteed. We are not advised of the basis upon which it is proposed to establish a fre6 bank law, but judge that it will differ but little from the National Banking system, which is entirely un adapted ..to the exigencies of a natiou combining to great a diversity of interests. There will bo a vehement oppsi- tiou to the establishment of a Post offico linnk as recommended bv the President. Two serious objections exist to such an institution. One is : that it would add to an an already too complicated and cumbrous sys torn, instead of simplifying it,' and the other that it will open an avenue to corrnptiou and fraud. An impartial review of the President's opinions, we think, will tend to disappoint the people, who had hoped that with the opportunities he has at his command to enlighten them, he might have been more ex plicit and statesmanlike in tho ex ' ' I : pression of his views." crafting mors &?B?4 iff fettWfiii fell, the prisoner the section of a of the country root people Vr second Jwo'and Hen a fewVfi0r fluences that have-- ' taken 'deep to the encroachments averse of foundations strictly into its heart.
