OJ he gaihj jtfforim. ASTiiltlA. DKECON: SUNIAV ... DECI MltEi: SI IRP4 THE QUESTION OFStLVER. Seceetauy of the Treasury 11a Cnlloujjh Heems lo have peculiar ideas ou Ibe question or siher coin age, aud silver certificates. ILe Mining Recuid, coiomtutiug iLeiou, very justly says: 'Air. McCnllougli has simply illus trated the inability of a man trained in the narrow groove of the banking business, to escape from the result of that training an ever present itch for contraction, and the belief that u. contraction is tob3 found the cure for all financial ills. He ures the stoppage of silver certificates, not withstanding the fact of 'which he ought not to be ignorant, that between the 30th of September. 1883. and the 89th of September, 1331, silver cer tificates were issued to the extent of 318,283,000 in exchange for gold paid in to sub-Treasurer Acton, here in New York; the which certific ites were issued to those who paid gold for them to move cotton and wheat from the south and west to exterior markets, and which 311m by a rather odd coincidence, almost ex ictly cor responds witji the contraction of the National B ink currency for the same twelve months." "Mr. McCnllough also overlooks the somewhat material fact that of the S121,131,921 in silver certificates issued up to the 1st of September, 1884. not less thau $35,233.5 )3 or 52 per cent of the amount had been is sued not in exchange for standard dollars, but for gold turned m here iuNew York to the sub treasnry, un der circumstances of necessities de scribed by Treasurer Gilfillan in these pregnant werds: L irge am mnts of silver certificate) paid for with gold chiefly of the denomin itions of ten and twenty dollars, have been paid out of the sub-treasuries in New Or leans, St Louis, Chicago ai:d Cincin nati for the purpose of moving the cotton and other crops. " The -volume of the United States notes is -limited by law, while the national banks do not find it a sufficient profit in issuing circulation to induce tl eii to supply the demand for additional circulation, caused by the increase of uusiness. The issue of silver certifi cates by meeting this demand, has averted what might have proved lo be a serious public inconvenience.' " "While the Washington monument has been building, there have been chrouicled the history of nine politi cal administrations, witnessed the birth anl death of political parties, and passed through a terrible civil war, four financial stiaius and estab lished the best banking system in the world. The great Republic in the meantime has grown from 23,003,000 to 55,033,003 people, aud in material wealth from $7,400,000,000, or $320 per inhabitant, to $57,0 )3,033,0.)9, or $1,033 per inhabitant When the na tional monument was begun Great Britiao. poaseated five times the wealth owned by the United Slates, and while the wealth of the for mer country has only doubled within the last four decades, that of tho- latter has increased twelve-fold. As to the constituent factors of American progress in their aggregate in the four decades they are sufficient to buy up the whole Austrian empire several times ove or pay for the "effete" monarchies o. Italy, Holland and Belgium almost three times over during that period. Our tilled acreage has increased from 53,003,003 to 170.000,000 acres; the crtfps have increased in value from $il5.003,0JJ to S2.5J333J.033 ana the cattle, have increasad iu value from $330,000,003 to $1,810,000,000. Our imports have increased from $163,- 003,000 to $303,003,000, and our ex- p rts from S152,033,033, to $333,000, 0J3. Countby. postmasters often write quiet, confidential letters to the de partment in explanation of little omis sionS'Of duty. Heretofore, just after 8 presidential election, many of them thought it tho proper thing to con gratulate the department upon the overwhelming victory of the grand old party. There has bsea .1 notable lack of political comment this year. The-Xollowing, however, was received at "Washington last week from an Arkansas pestmaster: "Please ex cuse me for not making my remit tanceof funds on Saturday last The truth is that there are twelve as pirants in thislown for my place. AH tWalve of them have interviewed me tbs week, and I have to show them the ins and outs of the business, and tell them what they would have to do and how much they will get for doing it Tho -aspirants have been pleasant enoughto 1 me, and "Uncle Sam s funds are all right." ; r f ,lTfCosts1$7p3,000'a week to run New Xerfc'f city-goYcrmacut. Tin: Christian at Work thinks it has cornered the wily Bob and goes for him thus: "R. Ingersoll denoun ces iote.nperance, and very properly so; but how could Mr. Iugersoll en join upon hia hcards as ho did the other day to 'think of the wrecks on either side of the stream of death'? Either side"--'either side' then there is another side to Mho stream of death'? We always understood that in Mr. IiigerwilFs thought death was a stream with but one shore. Has the fog lifted, and does he catch a view of the other side?" Tins Oregonian calls for a new citv charter for Portland, and very justly says: "An honest and economical city government is of far more actual im portance to the people of Portland than any question as to what party shall a lminister tho national govern ment." The foreign telegrams of the Lon don Tunis cost in one single day in October last $10,000. si iKitii:i. In stmi. nrn-ni'ierCO h. iW.nt'l i res'il mi tif :ln rid s hi "'her. Iv Jcv M. D. Wilsitii.
