REPUBLICAN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT


The review of the management of the
national finances, published recently in the
New York Tribune, is admirably designed
to inspire with pride and qualification every
patriotic citizen of the Republic. 1t is a
noble exemplification of the resources of
the country, as well as an eloquent testi-
monial to the general ability with which
tho great financial system of the nation has
been handled. Friends Of the Republican
administration of the government may well
be proud of such an exhibit, showing, as it
does, great reduction in the national debt,
year by year, as well as gradual amelio-
ration in the burdens of taxation, which
the long and costly war of the slave-hold-
ers' rebellion imposed upon the people.
We should have been glad to have seen
more vigor infused into some details of the
management Of the Treasury, and especial
ly more decisive measures looking toward a
speedy return of specie payments. Such
return was long ago possible, and though it
may be claimed that the worst is over, we
must regret the prolonged existence of our
present system of floating an immense vol
ume of irredeemable currency. The as
pect of the bond question, as presented in
the review, is novel, and highly encourage
ing it would have been more cheerful in
its general tone if the new loan had been
managed with more vigor.
During the two years and one month
ending April !, 1871, the public debt has
been reduced .$2l5, 1858, an amount
which will surprise these cavillers who have
contended that the government of the Uni
ted States must eventually become bank
rupt. Then the burden of interest has, by
wise legislation and prudent management,
been greatly reduced. In March, 1863,
the monthly charge was $40, ,532 ,4G2 so;
in April, 1871, it was $9,527 ,2l2 G7, be-
ing decrease of 81 ,005, ,249 93, OF round
twelve millions for the yearly interest
charge; and this relief, it should be borne
in mind, is permanent. -ni
Meantime, the credit of the government
has everywhere advanced, and nice calcula-
tions show that our borrowing power is
now enhanced 16 per cent, as compared
with what it was at the close of Johnson's
administration. Other reductions appear
in the financial management of our excel
lent postal service, in which depart
ment an annual Saving of at least 5000, 900
has been effected. And the reduction of
taxation is equal to $25l 1927 per an
mum. These figures, and other telling
points brought out in the review, are full of
encouragement to those who wish well of
the Republic. 1t is matter of congratu-
lation with all members of the great Re-
publican party that its administration of
the financial affairs of the nation can safely
challenge scrutiny.
What Republicanism does for the ma
ton these figures show. What Democracy
does for New York the figures of the city
accounts as published show; those still
concealed, apparently because too bad for
publication, by their very absence show
still more eloquently. ..as

NORFOLK, VA, August 3, 1871.
The United States ship "Wachusett," f"
cleared this port yesterday en- route to
Europe. She goes out to JOIN the Mediter-
ranean squadron.
Independent of naval affairs but little is
doing here. There is general want of in
dustry, and were it not for some little cap
ital being invested by Northerners, Norfolk
would be at decided stand-still but like
all Southern cities the very element most
needed is by them rejected, and the uncul-
tivated lands and moss-coyered houses
show the complete efieteness and inertness
of the so-called "Sunny South" Not un-

said unsocial-becomes a noentity, can We
