up TO any magnitude, on the terms and thus
made equally available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist They can be converted into money at

1t may beuseful to state in this connection that the
total Funded Debt OF the United States on which interest
is payableiin gold the 90 day Of aareh 1884, was
ssssG5OoO. The interest this debt for the coming
AoesA ~ htiio
in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June SOih
1861 has been far at the rate Of slooOoOOo per
annum.
It will be seen that the present gold Of
the Government largely in Of the of tn
Treasurer for the payment of g,i interest, while tho
recent Increase Of the tariff will doubtless raise the
annual receipts from customs the same amount of
importatOns, TO 10000 900 per Aunum.
