Information about the Debt.

The Milwaukee Sentinel complies
an excellent article on the National
debt, which we print below:
The monthly statements published
by the Secretary of the Treasury
are very clear and full, but they are
not often published entire by the
newspapers, and besides, there are
some facts Of public interest which
is not the purpose OF the statements
to bring prominently into view
Some Of these facts we propose to
give IN this article, in form CON
venient for reference. We first give
table showing at what times in the
year the cain interest IS payable, and
the amounts payable Al each time.

The amount from "other sources"
was collected from the gross receipts
of railroads, insurance and express
companies, from the sales Of brokers,
dealers and manufacturers, from spe-
cial taxes, and from penalties AID
miscellaneous sources. 1t il estima-
ted that at least ninety per cent. Of
the entire receipts was collected from
few objects and sources, all Of which
may DO classel as Iuxuries, or as the
accumulated and associated wealth
Of the country
From the total amount raised
there was returned, for taxcs illegal
" assessed and collected $500 235 -
nearly al! Of which was for taxes
collected in previous years Draw
backs were also allowed to the
amount Of 1917, 41131.
The Commissioner is Of the opinioa
that the present system ought, ia Il
short time, faithfully administered,
to yield revenue not below S173.-
100000. He says If these coDjcc-
lures are well founded, after the
brief period the excise tax can be
limited to still fewer objects OF taxa
ton than at present, and those such
as all admit to be the ones that
should bear the burden. The reali-
cation Of these anticipatlons will en-
abe Congress to sweep away the
special or license tax, and all others
that rest upon fife labor, industry
and smaller business transactions O
the country"

THE CAUCUS SYSTEM The Osh-
kosh Northeastern says it believes
the present caucus system had its
origin in the Democratic party, and
twas an essential part Of the machin-
cry by which that worthless hulk
was kept above water" and adds
ats leaders have little to fear from
the masses, and the good of the few
at the expense of the many seems to
be the motto. But with the great
Republican party it is otherwise. 1t
is political organization in whose
ranks can be found more intelligence,
more honesty, and more carnestness
Of purpose than in any party since
the foundation Of the Government.
It embraces the thinking, working
element in every locality. Inteli-
gence and desire for the right are
and have been the chief characteris-
ties of its members The men who
began the work Of the party twenty
years ago, when to be an abolition
lists was TO be ostracized from all SC
cial privileges, may have been called
fanatic, but their integrity and love
Of right were not called in to question.

ting for Office and desire a change. y

This table is compiled from the
statement Of Nov. lst. The reduc-
ton OF tho debt during that month
has diminished the total by some
$3.50 900, but has not materially
changed the relative amounts payable
at the times named Besides coin
interest there is annual payment of
interest in currency to the amount
OF 81, 635, $50, according to the Dec.
statement. 1t does not appear from
this statement ut what time or times
in the year this is payable, Assum-
ing the gold premium at lbs, this
currency interest is equivalent to
81 1856, $50 in coin. This added TO the
coin interest, as above, gives $685.
726, 995 (coin) as the total disburse-
ments by the government on account
of interest.
With respect to interest, the public
debt is of FIVE kinds:
