THE PUBLIC DEBT AND THE
SURPLUS.
rjie Bon
dpiiged
Dting nu
Bond purchase bill in its
pro)
discussion is likely
to Bring numerous tacts wiucn are
of interest to the general reader.
The amount of the actual surplus
in the treasury is one of these
facts, and Reagan's amendment,
when it is leached, which calls for
the $100,000,000 of gold coin kept
in the treasury a3 a special reserve
fund to be used in purchasing
bnds, will call attention to the
various funds lying idle there.
Very few have an adequate idea of
what is actually there. On the
1st of March the monthly state
ment showed that there was an
aggregate of $465,4561445 of gold
and silver on hand. Of this vast
amount the treasury oilieials t on
sider only $9o,00;,0)0 as surplus.
The remainder, tin y reason, must
lie idly iu the vaults to inspire
confidence. Thus there is one
sack containing $10 ',000,000 gold
to brace up the legal tenders ; an
other contains $96,697,913 to keep
the stiffening in the gold certificates
which, by the way, are rarely or
never presented for redemption,
being used in the payment oi
customs duties and circulating gen.
erally ; there is a sack which iiohis
134,452,659 silver dollars to re
deem silver certificates, which the
people never present for redemp
tion ;, then there is a little pocket
with about $13,000,000 ready to
aueei matured debt and unpaid in
terest, anl a bulky iel.ow with
443,833,221 iu it for post office and
'disbursing accouiitrf, and last, hn,
by no means the smallest, is the
sack containing $23,335,4:'l worth
-oi subsidiary silver, which no one
seems to want, as it roimins in
the treasury year after year with
out beinx called for. I'erbaj s i
when senators begin to ak the
question why this enormous
amount of money is piled up in
vaults, doing nothing, while we
'have a bonded indebtedness of
over a billion dollars on which "wo
are p ivhig interest, some one with
sens may arise and point out that
it is because we have allowed Wall
street to attend to the business of
running the treasury, and the
'money men of the country to
m mipiilate the purse strings of the
government for the purpose of
8 f iling their already plethoric
pockets.
In referuig to Alaskan affairs the
West Shore cailsi attention to the
fact that Governor Sw ineiord, of
Alaska, has made a reoort showing
the Alaska Fur eal Company in
aa unenviable light. He says it is
-a concern that has grown en or -
' . 1 :..u r .1..
111 msiy ricii liuiu il? aaimjiuii ,
and has g'own arrogant and tyran
ica?. At the time the contract w as
awarded, the ;overnment iu not
comprehend the magnitude of
the!
fur seal business, nor did the
people have any idea of the im
portance and value of this trailic.
The contract will soon expire. It
5s recommended that even at this
Ire day, some steps be taken to
remedy the abuses which are
nrantii-pil under the contract. !

importance every year. It is prov-:

that is required is settlement, up
on which new discoveries will fol

Tue s ssionof congress is diaw-j
in tu a close, and the democrats ;
have done nothing to avert the dire j
disaster predicted by Cleveland in
December "last. The passage of J
the bond purchase act is simply a ;
work oi supererogation. Had the
administration been desirous of
relieving the surplus by paying off
t .e national debt, it could have
d me so without farther authority.
The act in its present shape is
inere'y a di claration that there is
a law in force, and amounts vir-
jtnVlv to a rebuke to Cleveland's
1 treasurer, who his refused to avail
h rnse f of the undoubted author
ity conferred upn him to buy
bonds whenever there is a surplus
in the treasury.

an evident disposition in some
quarters to swell the sum still
further. If there fails to be a
smash in the not very remote
future it will not be dues to
the fact that kings, princelings-,
etc., of the old wdrlrt are not doing
alt in their power to bring about
such a calamity, and all under a
neautiful free trade reign, too !
S r. Joirx, who is haranguing his
third party brethren on his old
hobby of four years ago, will be
here to-morrow. His coming
promises to beautifully diminish
the number of prohibition votes in
Linn county in the coming election,
as sincere temperance people place
very little confidence in the dem
asonism of such hirelings as St.

I and make both ends meets on a

can afford to accept a little per

The Herald suggests that a
meeting should be called to organ
ize a board of trade. " Tne matter
ought not be delayed any longer.
