FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Two reari aito Senator Free prophesied
that time wooid ihow that the Panama
canal ecbeme was corrupt, and that
wumn a year or two iignt woma oe
thrown upon it and the Itepnblio wonld
tremble under the shock. That condi
tion exists to-day. There has been some
talk to tne enect that trie Jfanama and
Nicarasiia canal schemes are parallel.
and thst the disaster that has overtaken
the French people will came public men
in this country to hesitate in giving their
votes to sanction a guarantee of Nicar
agua bonds, (earing that a scandal might
result. Mr. Frye sees nothing of the
kind, and is emphatic in his declaration
to that effect. , Said he: "There la a
very good reason to advance, which is
that the government should exercise
supervision over the Nicaragua canal
and control all that is done there. There
is no reason why any legislator should
do airaia to cast His ballot lor a bill
which has this end in view. I believe
this measure will pass the Senate, but of
course such a prediction cannot be made
as to tne House. It can hardly be sup
posed that the bill will meet with favor
there, inasmuch as it contemplates the
expenditure of public money, and such
expenditures are opposed on that side of
tne capttoi."
In all the recently written matter
about the depleted condition of the
United States Treasury little or no ac
count has been taken of the fact that
with each passing year the Treasury
is a large gainer by the complete de
struction by casualty of its outstandins-
obligations. How much this amounts
to the best statisticians of the Treasury
Department have no means cf definitely
ascertaining. No two figures are alike.
Since 1802, when the government began
to issue paper money, $5,819,620,108 had
been issued up to July 1, 1802. Within
the same period $4,852,461,620 were re
deemed, leaving outstanding Jnly 1,
1802, a liability against the government
of $967,177,470. In an exhaustive in
quiry on the subject made by United
States Treasurer Hyatt it is estimated
the aggregate loss on all issues, up to
January, 1888, would not be less than
19,700,000. This estimate did not in
clude fractional currency, the 60 cents,
25 cents, 10 cents and 6-cent shin-
plasters in such extensive circulation for
a few years following the war. United
States Treasurer Nebeker, in his report
this year, states that more than f 15,000,
000 of this fractional currency is out
standing, though it has practically gone
out of circulation, and hut little more
than S4.0W was presented lor redemp
tion last year. What is outstanding is
held, to a great extent, by collectors of
coin, and its value as such is greater
than its face value. The aggregate
United States currency, fractional and
otherwise, estimated to be destroyed
and not likely to be presented for re
demption, approximates, by these fig
ures, more than l4,uuu,uuo. A recent
estimate prepared in the Treasury De
partment places tne sum as nigh as izu,-
000,000. The money can only be taken
out of the liabilities of the government
by Congressional enactment, and this
will probably be attempted in the near
future.
