A Financial Picture.

Not single month has elapsed
since General Grant took control of
the government which has not wit.
messed some reduction of the public
debt. Mr.. Boutwell's August state
ment shows a reduction during July
amounting to So, 1852. This at
six per cent. per annum IL equal to
1922, lis taken off from our interest
account in a single month. The de-
crease of the debt since March 1st,
1871, is $37, 379, 9SS. "a, which Is equal
| to S2,242, T99 of interest reduction
| since the first of last March. The
total reduction since March 4th, 1869
| a perion of twenty-nine months, is
| S242, LIS, 4O1, which for the whole
period shows a monthly average of
s., 34l ,255, or an average interest re.
duction of $500,955 per month, or
Sl4, 527 ,695 of decrease i'm the amount
of annual interest during President
Grants administration.
The debt of the United States, less
cash in the Treasury, on the 4th of
March, 1869, was 50, 525, 457. 259; and
on the LIST of August, 1871, il was So
2S3 1928 ,S5S, less cash i'm the Treasury.
The debt of New York City on the
3lst of December, 1869, was $34, 407.-
947; and on the 30th of April, 1871,
under the finan ciering of the Tam
many Ring, il was swollen to $84,-
SAL 1876, after deducting all the
amounts held as a sinking fund
showing an increase of $50, 1874 ,l39 in
twenty. eight months There is some
difference between these two sets of
figures, and as wide difference in
thn cins htnl, hnx lntl To 4, IL,
diversity of results. The national
debt, under the faithful and judici-
Gus management of President Grants
Administration, has been constantly
decreasing; and the debt of New
York City, under the absolute con
troll of the Democracy, has been as
constantly increasing ut the rate of
nearly 81, 00O,O per month for more
than two years. eaE...- .. sH. 80
We submit these figures to our
readers rs affording the most conclu-
sive proof that our national finances
have been administered with emf
nent fidelity and wisdom. Compare
the results with those growing out of
Democratic rule i'm the City of New
York, and, on the one hand, we see
honesty and economy standing as
WatCnIui sentiueIS over tns puOiic
treasury; while, on the other, ex-
travagance, wastefulness, fraud, and
the most astounding corruption are
the order Of the day under the man
| ipulation of the Tammany managers.
1t is not ut all surprising that the
Republican party, by general con-
sent, should have fixed upon Gen.
Grant as its staudard-bearer in the
campaign of 1872 The country has
prospered, and wonderfully recuper-
ated from the disasters of the war,
under his administration. The pub
lie credit has been sustained, and a
large amount of the national debt
has been paid, while the bu rden of
annual of annual taxation has been
lightened by more than eighty mil
lions of dollars. There surely is no
occasion for change CT policy, or of
the men who administer it. The
clamor of Democrats is simply the
hungry cry of those who are out OF
office, and whose history is anything
but reason for placing the Govern
ment in their hands. IN. Y. hide

Financial Matters.

The financial Journals of the coun,
try are remarking upon the album.
dance of money at this time seeking
Investment, both i'm this country and
England. We are told that never In
the palmiest days Of our prosperity
was there ever so much capitsl wait
ing to be employed, seeking borrow
ers and hunting up Investments
The ruling rates of interest at the
Bank of England are only two per
cent. In New York money is to be
had on call at the same rate.
The money 10 this country is con-
centrated in our leading cities. 1t
was expected that the movement of
the present abundant crops would
create Ia demand for money by send
ing it out through the west for our
products, but the price of wheat, and
i'm fact all other grain, is SO low. as to
induce the farmers to hold on to all
they can i'm the hope of better figures.
The Chicago Tribune of n recent date
says: ain local finances and trade
business continues dull and money
abundant. The country demand for
currency has fallen off within the
past ten days, so that there is very
little more now going to the country
than is being received back in mer.
chants collections, but it should not
be assumed from this that the re-
ceipts of grain are likely to continue
light. There have been several mil
lions more currency sent into the
country than have returned, and
there Is sufficient stock of curren
cy in the grain raising districts now
to market the whole wheat crop" ID
The causes of this plethora Of mon
ely are variously given. The rapid
payment of the National debt the
immense surplus cravings of rail-
ways, both i'm this country and i'm
