If Secretary Carlisle could only be induced to read a few hundred editorials in the daily papers on the "financial situation," we are sure everything would be clear to him and he would have no further trouble with the country's bank account. THE COURIER has now on hand a large number of Nebraska exchanges in which the whole subject of finance is so intelligently and tersely treated that one wonders why there should be such general ignorance on this point. If the secretary will have the postmaster general instruct Mr. Gere to give us the necessary stamps for postage, we will take pleasure in forwarding these valuable treatises to the treasury department.
