"At the close Of the war, the available

BONDS AT PAR.
The sEsiumph OF Grapt's AdmiaistFa,
tiOn

Some Of the radical papers are rejoicing
over the fact that tho Administration ot
Grant has raised the United States bonds
TO psrsin gold Now, l,t US SEQ who Ia,
cause for jubilation--the privileged few or
the ia1-psyiug many. In 1863 Mr. A.. y
boudholder, len.the Government SIC. 900
-ia,sresnbtek,p*l.eu they were worth forty
cents on dollar in gold. The Govern
ment gave him its bond for that amount,
with the interest ut six per. cent payable
in gold. Reduced to gold standard,
upon every forty dollars lent there was six
dollars paid-that is, fifteen dollars hun.
dred. Asths7e-aesei butsS4, 600 in the
loan, it wou d be $500 year upon the
entire amount. ln seven years, from
1868 to 1870, that interest is equal to
$1,000. Thus Mr.. A. has already re.
ceivcd in interest frsm the Goverpmrn,
S2uO more in gold than be loaned to it.
But this docs not tell the whole story.
His S4.OUO has been exempt from tho two
per cent. State and local taxation. Tha,
is $50 year, or $3.50 in seven years.
This. added to tho 5000, makes $3.50
..urplus over that which vent out Of his
hands. lie has not. therefore, been very
badly used. Ne has. got his principal
back, with nearly twenty per cent. in ad-
dhion, But still hc has no. been paid
It is proposed to pay him the face of Liz
bond in grcenbacks when they were worth,
no. forty cents, which was the bargain
when be loaned them, but eighty cents on
dollar. He refuses to- take il, aud the
Grant Administration ,'heatkehins to him,
employs It's whole force to bring hi, bond
at par xilh gold. Thus, iii. we're to be
paid now. the aceoHnt would stand:
Loaned Government, in gold $1,000
Received from thecorSrnusnti in
tere,. in seven years $4,000
Exemption from taxes SEQ
Face ofihe bond 10000
For $4,000 there is to be repaid
$l+,7GO in seven years. This is $4,000
more than the people we're legally or
morally bound to pay. The fye.luculy
bonds do not ask fussa4. a1,ey can be
paid,in currency valusdst no nYro rthan
they sare xorth originally, viz forty
cents on dollar. .''.
We'd not deny that there has been an
exploit in this matter, but it is = very sorry
one for the people. How many Of ,tem
