The Public Debt statenent-The Way the
Figures are ManipuIated

The Public Debt Statement-Tile Way the
Figures are Manipulated.
The Secretary of the Treasury made
great haste to get out his statement of
the public debt for the month of Octo-
Der, in order to influence the elections
which came off on the I'd inst, but it
failed of its purpose. The statement
claims another reduction of the public
debt of some $1,000 during the past
month, and that there has been a re-
duction of the debt during the seven
months of the Grant administration
of S64,000,000. This very desirable
result is arrived at. by the Secretary
by leaving out of his calculation alto
gether the S62, ,18S, 800 ofBonds issued
TO the Pacific Railroad, which are q
part of the debt of the Government,
and which it will have to pay, and
the interest of which it pays semi-an-
annually.
A comparison of the debt statement
made by Secretary McCulloch on the
lst of March last; and that of Secreta-
ry Boutwell, on the lst inst, when the
Railroad bonds are added to the lat
ter, fail to show such reduction of the
debt as the Secretary and his Radical
admirers are boasting over. The fol-
lowing is the statement of McCulloch
showing the condition of the debt

Then take Mr.. Boutwell's statement

as that of his predecessor, with the
Pacific Railroad bonds added:

Showing the actual decrease Since
March 1, but to have been S1,S66,351
1t is hardly honest in Boutwell, and
his friends to compare his figures
with the Railroad Bonds left out with
those of his predecessor with the
bonds figured i'll. But then it is by
that kind of nicromancy alone that
he is able to show any considerable
reduction of the National debt.

in Washington on Monday, he and his
opponent, General Alcorn, having
finished canvassing the State together.
Judge Dent expresses the belief that
he will be elected by 10000 majority.
He relies very much on the excite
ment against Gen. Ames for strength,
and says there is no doubt that Ames
said he would carry the State for the
Radicals if he had to march his troops
through it, and that there are dozen
affidavits in Washington to prove
that he publicly made such declara-
ton. That is the way the Radicals

TO be Cared For.
The investigation Of the recent gam

earthed the following letter from one
CT the leading gamblers to the oecre-
tary of the Treasury:
New YORK Sept. ., 80.
To Hon. Geo. Boutwell,, Secretary of
the Treasury, Washington, d. c.:
There is panic in Wall street, en-
ginecred by combination. They have
| withdrawn currency to such an extent
that it is impossible to do business.
The Erie Company require S800,000
in currency to diS6uTSs TO the employ
ees 6eteceen Nev York and Cincinnati
each month, much Of 1t IN Ohio, qohere
an eTciting political contest IS going
on, and aohere ace haze about 10000
employees, and the trouble IS charged
to the administration. Unless some
instant relief can be furnished by the
Government, trade and business will
be at deadlock. Representing, as
do, corporation of this magnitude,
and of the disbursements required
until the heavy crops are moved, can
not your consistency increase your
line of currency by giving the banks
some of the reserve which you have
on haud? You will consider the eXi-
gencies of my corporation my excuse
for troubling you with this dispatch.

Did Mr.. Boutwell, respond to the
conditions indicated, and thus give to
the Radical party in Ohio, the 10000
voters employed on the Erie road in
this State?

The census also shows that seven
teen counties of Ohio actually decreas-
ed population between the years 1850
and 1860, the aggregate amount of de-
crease in the State being $4,000.
In the light of these facts the inquiry
is not only pertinent butserious wheth-
sr much of this emigration may not be
traceable to the want of a proper un-
derst anding of the resources of Ohio by
her OiCn people ? And may not q geo.
logical survey, by providing the infOr-
nation so greatly needed, do much to-

But the question is asked, and must
be met, whether Ohio can affOi such a

To my mind the question is not so
pertinent whether VIC can afford to
have IL as whether we can afford not to
have IL. The true and philosophical
idea of economy implies management
and foresight as well as frugality.

million tons of coal. This will be suf-
f1cient, at a qUadrupIe rate of consump-
ton, to supply the people of the State
for several centuries"
The entire amount of the coal depos-
1t in Southern Ohio alone, has been es-
timated at 90, 200 millions of tons. Yet
even these figures relate only to seams
which are for the most part above sur
face drainage, while lower down there
are immense additional deposits which
may be reached by shafting.
''If," says Prof. Mather, 1--WE consid-
er the value of coal as a motive power
IN prOpeIing machinery, each acre of
the 1000 square miles of workable coal
contains stored and ready for use, a
power of 1872 men for 100 years, work
profit of only 25 CENTS on each cubic
yard of coal, an acre would yield a
profit of more than 1900 where a
depth of six feet is worked
The coal of Mahoning Valley is of
splendid quality and has very superior
value for the manufacture of iron.
The use of this coal in smelling the
ores of Michigan, New York, and
Pennsylvania, as we'll as those of
Northern Ohio, is laying the fOunda-
ton of an immense interest in the
Northern section of the State. Cleve-
land, until within a few years was
scarcely hopeful of manufacturing
competition with her smoky rival in
the Heart of the Pennsylvania mineral
regions, already looks forward to a
place among the foremost manufactur-
ing cities of the West.
But the superb coal deposit which is
proving-so valuable to Northern Ohio,
is by no means confined to that sec
ton. Its exact geological equivalent
is found IN jackson county, and the
presumption is strong that the deposit
which thus crops out at two points not
very widely remote may also be found
at intermediate points and possibly
south of Jackson. I say the presaGlgD-
ton, because we have no positive in
formation on the subject. No intelli-
gent search has ever been made. We
have been content to make use of this
mineral where Nature has ex-
posed it to our sight, whereas, England
has found it profitable to expend mil
lions in reaching veins no better than
this at a depth of almost thousands of
feet below the surface. d.
The discovery of this single seam of
coal at new points along the Outcrop of
our lower coal measures, would be
worth millions of dollars to the State.
While the wheat crop has declined,
our coal product has steadily increased.
''The coal trade of the lakes" says a
mineralogist, sis inn
mense, and yet the first ton of bitumi-
nous coal used on Lake Erie or its
shores, was sent to Cleveland from the
mines, in 1925" Since that
time the coal trade of Cleveland has
increased with great rapidity. 1t
