The Operation of the New Funding
piIl

Bill.
FrNn he CiaciaaGH Gd;sttS.
The new funding bill introduced in the
House yesterday, by the chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee, is important
only because ii indicates the extent 10
which it is thought the House will go on
funding measures. 1t authorizes the issue
Of 81 ,O00,OOO,OO0 4 per cent thirty, year
coin bonds, exempt from all Federal
State, municipal or local taxation; win no
CompulsiOn upon the National Banks 10

will be passed, but there is no proDapu4Ly
! that such bonds can be negotiated OF GA'

than il does now. To show Ut what
rate tho Government can now borrow
money. we have only TO look NJ thG
priceS of 1910 5 per cent gold bonds and
ihe q ncr cent currency bonds in the open
market. which bonds are not affected by
the funding schemes, which have mate
rial influence on the market value OF 5-"Os
lO-4Os are selling at 1854 in currency,
equivalent to about 05Ac in coin, and III
this price will pay rs II permanent invest
mcui, if held until maturity, about Vt PCT
cent interest. The currency Gsat ll4;;.
which Is the present market price, VIII
also net the investor, il held till maturity
81 per cent per annum. This is the true
measure of the value OF the credit Of the
United States Government now, ana II
cannot borrow money ut much lower
rate, but If its credit still continues to
improve for another year US it hAS done
during the past year, it may then ilnat /"
loan at II per cent, possibly at !. Tue
bill also authorizes the sales OF surplus
gold By the Treasury, and the proceeds
invested in buying $50 bonds, which Is
merely lcgalizing the present pFIctIcc OF
the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The most important, and we may ada
the most sensible feature Of this bill Is
that authorizing and requiring the can
collation. and destruction OF the sinking
fund and special fund bonds and the de.
duction Of the same from the amount Of
the public debt, while the sinking fund
feature is kept up by apDropriating, an
SNuul W NAlC 4hbSAI9b va
ing fund bonds 10 the reduction OF this
debt The special fund bonds amounted
June LIST to $S2,0OO,O0O, and by July LIST
will be increased to $SS,O0OO0O. By de-
s,roving these and deducting the amount
from tho public debt the annual amount Of
interest payable will be reduced $3.50
600, and further reductions will be made
as the surplus revenue is invested in 5,eOs
This reduction Of interest is equivalent to
nearly tllree.cighths Of one per cent; on
all the 500 bonds outstanding. This Is
the shortest way 10 reduce the interest on
the public debt, and is better for the
present than any funding at u lower rate
Of interest, for il is attended with no OK
pcnsc, and will subject the country TO no
financial disturbance, while it is calcu'
lated to build up the credit Of the Gov
eminent in u direct and plain manner.

The plums are perhaps the worst injured,
and in many cases the crop will be an en-

instances where the fruit Of I'LL kinds Is
