A FAULTY CALCULATION.
Mr. Harrison in his letter of acceptance,
in attempting to meet the democratic de
mand for a reduction of the surplus money
in the treasury of the United Sta'es, say
that the government should buy bonds,not
now due,and retire them. Democrats ob
ject to this on the ground that bonds are
at too high a premium to justify such pur
chases. V he San Francisco CironicIe has
attempted to show, that,as u business prop
osition would be better to buy bonds that
are to become due in 1907 at 30 per cent
premium than to pay 4 percent Interest on
t'jem for in years and then pay them at
par. Tiiis is the way the C hrouick figures:
"A $100 bond due in 1907 has iy years
torua. The interest on that bond at 4 per
cent a year will amount in 19 years to 76
per cent ; that is, in 1907 the government
will have paid, to redeem that bond, $11
of principal and $76 of Interest, making
$176. That bond can be purchased now
for $130 and canceled. Is it not apparent
that every such bond so purchased and
canceled 6avcs the people of the United
States $46 ?"
Now, the fallacy in this argument is so
' palpable that a "wayfaring man though a
fool" would not have made such a faulty
argument. Let us state the proposition in
such a familiar way that any man or boy
"who understands the principles of percent
age and interest may calculate for himself :
A holds B's promissoiy note for $io,paya
ble in 19 years with interest at 4 per cent.
B concludes that he would like to set.le off
the note and not a'.low it to run the 19
years. A holds the note at a premium of
$30, that is he demands that B shall pay
$130 to redeem his $100 note. The ques
tion now is, would it be better for B to pay
the$i3oto take up his note or retain tne
$130 in his business and pay interest on the
note for 19 years, iuterest in the general
business of the country ranging from 6 to
10 per cent. If the note runs 19 years at 4
per cent the interest for that time will
amount to $76, so that at the end of the 19
years he will have paid $176 to redeem his
$100 note. On the contrary, if he should
take the $ijo and put it out at interest at
say 6 per cent for 19 years the interest will
amount to $148.20, or the $130 would
amount to $278.20. Deducting the $176
from the $278.20 and we find that B would
make $102.20 by loaning his $130 at 6 per
cent interest and allowing his note to run
the 19 years. If there would be a saving
to the debtor of $102.20 on a $100 note or
bond, how much would be saved on $709,'
000,000 bonds to become due in 1907. It
would amount to the enormous sum of
$7J4.593,ooo, a sum the saving of which to
the people of the United States would be a
matter of no small moment. So it will be
seen that as a matter of business, stripped
entirely of all party considerations the
proposition of Mr. Harrison is one that no
sound business man would make, and what
is goad business sense and management
for a man in business will be good sense
and good management if carried into the
affairs of government.
' CONKLING AND BLAINE.
Peter B. Crandall, of Ithaca, New York
an old friend of Conkling's, has given out
for publication the following letter received
by him in 1SG6 that speaks for itself. In
an interview Mr. Crandall says that he has
always been a republican but cannot vole
for Harrison who is dominated b) Blaine
Kead tne letter and you will then see why
there is such a stir among- Conkling's
friends in New York:
Mav 6. lKtV,
Mv Dear Sir: I am glad to receive jour
letter, ojr uus you win see in mil me lat
ter passages in the Frye-Blalne matter. Let
me know what you think. You will not
find fault with the self-command of vour
representative when called on without a
moment's warning In the presence of the
nation to answer such a libel. What is the
eEeet on our people ? Mr. Blaine is said to
D too near tne tecruiting business at Au
gusta, Me., where he lives,and where there
was another Haddock affair in crime, but
not in conviction and punishment. He
(Blaine) has grown suddenly rich out of
government jobs. His brother was con
victed of forgery and sent to the State's
prison, I am told, and all around vou will
see there is a very strong flavor a"bout the
whole thing. If where you and I are known
anyone can be found to believe the foul
lmputat'on put on us we have lived in vain.
How is this ? Your sincere friend,
ROSCOE CONKLING.

Brownkll & Stamard.
The attempt of the republican leaders of
San Francisco to connect democrats with
the disgraceful and murderous scenes at
tending the republican primaries in that
city last week is as shabby a trick to make
partisan cap'tal as has yet been brought to
notice. Buck'cy,against whom these char
ges are made, has openly and in the most
emphatic way denied every and e-ch
charge a.id challenged the proof, which it
lsqu'.te safe to say will never be furnished.
Rudelick, the present republican County
Clerk, says it was a factional ftoht between
republican lcadcrs,who have for years been
striving for the mastery. There is to be
an investigation by the grand jury and the
guilty one should receive the full punish
ment imposed by law, whether they be re
publicans or democrats.
