GOVERNMENT LOANS TO BROKERS.

The Georgetown Advocate, referring to tho
statement that the Secretary Of the Treasury had
loaned large amounts of the Government moneys
to brokers in that town, says
The Secretary's object has been to place the
money where it would be perfectly safe, and
take government stock at par, dollar for dollar
as security, which is far preferable to depositing
it in banks where no security is given, and where
very large amounts accumulate without Interests
