QUOTATIONS OF GoLD.-The quota
tions of gold, as given by the money ar
ticles of the newspapers, convey no fixed
idea to the common mind. The informa-
ton needed is, what is a paper dollar
worth ? The following will answer the
question:
When gold is quoted at $1.10, a paper
dollar is worth 81 cents, nearly.
When gold is quoted at Sl.l5, paper
dollar is worth 81 cents.
When gold is quoted at Sl.20, paper
dollar is worth 835 cents.
When gold is quoteda at Sl25, paper
dollar is worth so cents.
When gold is quoted at $1.30, a paper
dollar is worth rs cents.
When gold is quoted at $l.35, paper
dollar is worth 64 cents.
When gold is quoted atS140, paper
dollar is worth II cents.
When gold is quoted at $1.45, paper
dollar is worth SO cents
When gold is quoted at $780,, a paper
dollar is Worth 663 cents TOmaha Her.
The rule to find the value of fgreenbacks
by gold quotations is to divide / 900 blythe
price Of gold. Say gold is quoted at LAO
then 1000 divided by 1.40 gives the
price of greenbacks at Z and a small frac.
ton. IF gold is quoted at 1.85, Eve gel
gresnbaeks up to "a and a fraction. Sc
the value of gold and greenbacks can be
arrived at by dividing ] 900 by the value
of the currency. Say greenbacks are
worth IS, then 1000 divided by rs gives
sl,3S5, the price Of gold.

The Prospect.

The prospect before the tax payers Of
this country, says the Richmond Exami-
ner, is very encouraging. With an i'm
mense tariff, doubling the cost of every
thing they use; with an internal revenue
tax and income tax, falling off with fright
full rapidity with imports reduced below
any precedent for many years past; with a
vast amount Of the country exempt by
law from taxation, and held b. the wealth
lest Of the people; with a debt larger
than that Of any nation that ever existed,
and with a financial panic threatening
upheaval Of the entire business of the
nation, the future of the poor Of Ameri-
ca is not rose colored.
But that is not all. Not only are the
receipts falling off, but the expenditures
are increasing The Washington cores
pondent Of the N. Y, '.Times" says:
sFrom the present indications, it is not
improbable that the expenditure of the
War Department will be immensely in
excess Of the estimates made for that pur-
pose. The acquisitions Of the War De
partment Tor Quartesmarter's service, Pay
and Subsistence Departments, miscellane-
GUS service, and Freedmen's Bureau, since
the 1st of March and up to this date, two
mouths and seven days, amout to S25,-
934, 806. 81. which, however, includes,
1904 ,5l1 ,26, the amount found Cue the
State of Pennsylvania for expenses during
the rebellion, as covered in the Treasury
as her quota of direct tax. This does
not include 100000 required for the
Pay Department, upon which no warrant
has been issued. From this, it appears
that the expenses Of the War Department
for the fiscal year will be from $40 ,OO0,-
900 to $3.50, 600. 0G0,or six times as much
as the estimated expenses.
It is not surprising that we find, in
view Of these facts, sentences like this
flashing through the press;
''The rich men have thought it right
after taking possession of the property Of
the late Confederate States. to repudiate
the Confederate war debt! Let US pre-
pare to repudiate tho Lincoln war debt
When we do that, labor will, once more,
make good living for the labcrers."
