While tho debt has been thus roll
ling up, the interest burden Of the
debt has been increased in a still
higher ratio. Nearly the whole
debt has been converted from debt
bearing currency interest into debt
bearing coin interest. Upon the
present status of the debt, thirty or
forty millions more currency are re-
CURED to pay the interest Of the ma
tional debt than was required to
pay it in 1865. The debt bearing
coin isterest is now 81. lO7, $50, $50
that bearing currency interest is
only 81, 40, 900. The smount of
currency required to purchase the
gold to pay this interest, is nearly
or quite One Hundred and Seventy
Millions Of Dollars. .'-
The manner in which the manip-
ulstion Of the public debt il made

the fact that the amount paid to
brokers and financial agents for
converting the bonds bearing cur
rsnsy interest into those bearing
gold interest and other expenses At
tending that operation. exceeds
Fifteen Millions Of Dollars.

The plan is to eonfns the income tax to the
tax on interest paid on the national debt, the

Mr.. stoves Last scandal.

4 More than one Newspaper critic has sug-
lgested that it Was the duty Of Lady Byron
to give to Ars. stows the means of showing
thst Byron Was indeed guilty Of the fearful
crime Of which he is accused. Lady Byron
probably thought that tho mere word OF the
author of SO truthful book ss Uncle Toms
Cabin would be evidence enough to csnvict
and condemn any man, whether Commoner,
King or Kaiser. Unfortunately, however,
this is sosptical sge, and the critics still
CRY out for documentary proofs. But 1t
seems to us that the sspient critics over
shoot tho mark. What We want to know ID,
whether Lady Byron ever did communicate
to Mrs. Harriet Beschsr Stowe this won
ldsfful story Of her suffering and Byron's
guilt, This is the hrst Question to be
solved. Mrs. Stowe was stranger and
foreigner, . person Of moderate standing
and accidental reputation. IL it likely that
Lady Byron would make her the depoaitary
\ Of Q secret which hsd been hidden from
nearly every other living soulf Is it likely
that Lady Byron would give this American
author permission to publish, at her dis
oretion, statement that would cover with
shame the memory Of "a amiable and ac-
eomplishsd woman, and cause Byron to be
regarded as . very prodigy Of sin There
was all to lose and nothing to gan, and We
are forced to doubt that the conversation
which Mrs. Stowe rehsshes ever took place.
An interview, there may have been; but
unless It is proved by some stronger eyi-
denee than Mrs. Stoves bare word, We
e.naos beli.s that Lsdy Byron did indeed
say what has been attributed to her. The
public have tho right to demand that Mrs
Stowe. prove the truthfulness Of her stale
nsnts Already She has been detected IN
more than one error Of fact which little
care would have enabled her to avoid; and
Il shs does not give some reasonable evil
dencs that che has only repeated what Was
told her BY Lady Byron, she must be CON
tent to lie for ever under the imputation Of
being fonder Of creating sensation than
ofselling the truth. q .a---

the whits man cannot safely work, We shall
have the Industrious aad frugal Asiane.
This will make tho low.esuntry prosper,
while the up-oountry will be built up, IS
We desire it to be, by the thews and sineWs
Of white men. There may, in soma places,
Be q wrong-headed opposition to ell immi
grafton, as there is in some parts OF deor-
sia; but this will not avail to keep out the
white nan, who will gradually turn his
steps to the rich valleys and broad savan-
nahs Of the South. As long as We have q
Radical negro government in South Caro-
lima it will be difficult to persuade white i'm
migrants to ssttle in the midst Of rs. They
will not be disposed to submit themselves
to the control Of negro magistrates; to the
caprice Of negro juries; to the taxation OF
negro legislators, and to the plundering
and stealing Of negro knaves and white ad
venturers As first step, We must rid
ourselves Of this Radical negro government.
This is the only stumbling block in our
path. While we have an ignorant, corrupt
and unscrupulous government We can have
no safe prosperity. Wemsy make money for
the moment; but every dollar that We have is
at the mercy Of the negro courts and negro
imposers Of taxes. When the Northern scum
and Southern riff-raf, who now lead ecol
ored people whittier they will, arc driven
from their seats Of authority there will be no
trouble with the negroes. With respeo
table and trustworthy government the COL
ored people will be more safe and more free
than they are now. This, somssbf them
know, and all Of them, but the office hold

that there is more TO be gained by oonfding

immigration.

The-immigration to tkas country the cur
rent year is astonishing, considering the
oaDAitions under which it exists, and ex.
csedsshe expectations Of every ono. The re-
turns from our Southern ports are 80 poorly
made and so rarely aggregated that little
can be msde from them Nor are We in
possession Of California data. The reports
from the Northern frontier, covering the
Canadian ingress, are also deficient. But
New York, the great immigrant headquar-
ters, furnishes US with definite ststisuos.
We learn that the arrivals there to the
close Of June have been l42. 2.227 this year
against 1o9097 last year, an increase Of
$3.50, or 30 2-5 per cent. Aud we find
that May and June Of the current year are
credited with 40 COS and 1889 arrivals
agstnst "a 151 and $500 last ye r, q gain
Of 28.073 in the Two last months. The i'm
migration is more frcm Germany than Ire
land. as it has been since 1859, footing up
1 1ss.0ls. Of which 68S 253 was German to
54s. .7so Irish. The Irish prsponderated
until 1854; but the change has been so great
tia. last year we received 10l, $50 Germans
to 47.571 Irish; and more than this, some
20O, 900 immigrants arrived in this period
from other countries.
One reason for the unprecedented Ger
man influx arises from the fear Of being
enrolled in the Prussisn army. This lisa
very lively cause Of immigration, and is
likely to continue. It operates on the whole
body Of immigrants, but most with the
Prussians. And reasonably. Our mi ,tary
establishment is almost nominal aid not
likely TO be enlarged, unless Grant, having
Jailed as ststesman, insists on again try
ing his luck as a soldier. But Austria
maintains. on peace basis, 243 920 men;
Frsno- 414 6S2; the German Confederation
3ls 2s6; Russia 7ss,151; Spain 2s6 a0l;
Italy .1s9 34l, and England 200 3S5 Thus;
on peace basis, these countries support
Some 2 500 900 men, and ere. all OF ;sem.
prepared TO trebl6or quintuple the number
in case Of war, and are obliged to pay for
the luxury. France, Austria and the Con
Federation 5esch boast themselves able to
levy from 800 900 to. 1000 600 men on ten
days notice. The taxation for this pur-
pose and the enrolment assist materially in
increasing the immigration to this country.
As yet there is little immigration to the
Southern States; but, day by o-dsy, the
cheapness of our land, the fertility of cur
soil and the salubrity Of cur climst- are
better known. The effect will be gradual,
and the victory over prejudice will not
easily be Won. Ills, however. eeftain that,
sooner or later, the stream Of white immi-
grafton will flow to the South as it now
