The EIections--virginis.

Since we came Washington, we have forborne from
Interfering with the elections in Virginia She has Sc
ected her own senator's governor, and candidates for
Conoress We have not ventured to nterpose word, in
direct or an indirect way, by any public article, or by
any private suggestion We bowed to her superior udg
ment in the exercise of her unquestional rights The
nubcn party have now selected their candidates for the
NEXT Congress We trust, therefore, that we violate
deconm in addressing few words upon the APP
preaching election to our ancient friends in Virginia
We would speak TO her as we have taken the liberty OF
speaking to New Hampshire-as we would speak to
Pennsylvania any great movement which concerns the
common welfare of all the republican party and all the
country Few elections ever more important than
the one which is now pending Virginia may hold the
balance of the next Congress Upon her may depend
the ascendancy in the House OF Representatives, with all
those measures which abide the decision of the next
session. the permanent success OF the great reforms
which the present administration has 50 essentially con-
bued to introduce the supplies and the success OF the
war; the rights and honor of country What citizen
can refuse speak, when such issues may depend upon
the result Of the election
Within less than three weeks il takes place, viz:
on the fourth THURSDAY, (the 22d instantly The re-

articles of the republican creed Can doubt Can
we pay 50 poor compliment TO any democrat OF Virginia
as to suppose that he will for moment yield any pr
vate grief or refuse TO lend his support to our dem
ocatc candidates because he may not be the avorte OF
the voter or because they may happen to differ about some
inferior matter Of public policy For ourselves, say it
freely that the last Virginia delegation honor to

We have received from correspondent IN Baltimore
the following communication, which we have taken the
liberty alter We have tested his statement of receipts
and disbursements by the books of the treasury and
we state the following the result of their best re-
searches 1t is estimated that on the LIST February
after meeting all the expenses of the war; there will prob
ably be balance in the treasury OF 100000
To the Editor Of the Union:
BALTIMORE, March 81, 1917.
SIR: The alarm being raised among the lenders oil
money that the President will be able pay the
ty millions OF dollars to be disbursed by him up 30h jan
uary, 1918, for the war with Mexico, without calling
Congress together is genuine absurdity, which cal
culaor tolerate, and which the holders of treasury
notes and United States bonds should frown down with
Indignation. Let take the exact state of the finances
OF the United States, 10 wit:
/. Balance in the treasury S3,5oo,ooO
2. Loan of specie to be deposited in it after
10th April, 1917 100000
3. Net receipts from customs for ten months
say 10 LIST February next 22,5oo,00o
4. From lands to LIST January next, when
they become pledged for the loan of lSi7 100000
Total receipts in specie into the treasury to
Both January 1913 $47,000,000
Our total expenditures for the last nine months were
about forty millions 1t is estimated that for the ensuing
ten months they will be about in the ratiosay,
round numbers $45,000,000. This would leave bal
in the treasury on the LIST of February next Of
$2,000,0O0.
Ii is clear that the specie to be received on 10th April
for the United States loan is 100 per cent of the
item be received for duties imports, and this
OF specie will be drawn out of the banks of ~ York Phil
adephia Boston. and BALTIMORE by the rich citizens hav
ing it there deposite drawing interest These lend
of money will thus embrace this chance OF OBJ
tanning the per cent loan of the United States at par

bids the President to accept any proposals for this loan

creditors in treasury notes, and they will thus become

importers would then pay all their duties in treasury
