Annual Report of Treasurer Spinner


WASHINGTON, November 4.-Treasurel
Spinner, in his 18th annual report, says
the falling off In the receipts Of the past
year from customs amounts to $lS,280i
794, and from Internal Revenue, SIG 9l2,-
S48, while the expenditures are largely In
excess Of the previous years. The falling
off Of receipts and the increased expendi'
lures have put check upon the rate per
annum at which the public debt was
paid in the preceding years. These facts
combined make an interesting subject for
reflection, the study oi which will make
good guide, II not warning, to Congress
and the administrative officers asiwell,
of the course that should be pursued IN
the future. Either taxation must be In
creased, an expedient that can hardly be
thought Of, or appropriations must be
kept largely below the receipts, other
wise the rapid reduction OF the public
debt will be arrested II 1t Is not aban.
doned: Treasurer Spinner says few, II
any, believe the volume OF the circulating
medium as fixed by law stands at an
amonnt that Is exactly right. 1t must be
obvious to all who have an interest In and
have watched the course Of the business
and financial returns of the country that
there are times when the real wants OF
the country demand that there should be
an increase ot currency; and that there
are other times when the safety Of all le.
gitimate business requires that 1t should
be largely decreased. What Is really
needed Is currency so flexible as 10 at all
times accommodate itself and the business
wants Of the whole country. Alter argu-
ing the question, the Treasurer says that
for existing notorious evils remedy should
be found and interposed, which remedy
he thinks Is to issue legal tenders conver.
tible into bonds at q low rate of interest,
5 G5 being the rate most likely TO satisfy
all conditions to be met. think It more
than probable that this scheme would not
require an increase in the bulk OF legal
tenders above the present legally author
lied four hundred millions, and that the
minimum amount of the 356, 100000
will ordinarily be sufficient for tho early
Of the legitimate business OF
The country. The project OF postoffice
saving banks, about which the Treasurer
SAYS he has been consulted by the Post.
master General, is highly commended by
The former as one that would be OF great
benefit not only to individual depositors,
but to the whole country as well.

rha Eleciiona YenlerdnY.

The following States voted yesterday,
viz: Massachusetts,, New York, New Jer'
sey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mary.
land, Virginia, Arkansas and Texas.
The returns from New York, Virginia
and Wisconsin, as iar as received, indicate
that the Democrats have carried all three
States. The Republicans carried them all
last year. We are not, Of course, surprised
atthe result in Virginia. We have already
expressed our anhcipations Of such re-
suit The Republican majority for GRANT
last year In that State was not true indi.
cation Of public opinion. he carried IT by
default because the Democrats were panic
stricken over the result in Pennsylvania
at the October election. But in New
York Gov. DIX had over $4,000 majority
last year, and It looked as If there ought
to be an even chance this year any
how. The Ohio epidemic, however, is
abroad in the land. The Congressman
who voted themselves rich are hearing
something or somebody drop on every oc.
casion. This state Of the public mind is
still more forcibly shown by the returns
from Wisconsin where Grant had $4,000
majority last year, and Washburn, now
defeated, had over 1900 in 1871. And
equally bad are the returns from Massa-
chusetts, where instead oi 10000, as last
year, we have ten thousand this year.
This is the worst case OF shrinkage we
have seen since the panic set In.
It indicates that II we had about
one more "sslary grab" and an
other Credit Mobilier to encounter it
would require a search warrant to discover
tho existence of Republican party.
1t must DO delightful TO the shack pay"
members to contemplate these returns.
As the lamented GREELY said on GER
tain occasion, they are "mighty iteresting
reading.
It matters but little that the Democracy
were up to their necks in the same busi-
ness in Congress. They are not the rul-
ing element in the Government, and the
people know that The people therefore
choose to make an example out Of the
most responsible offender. Naturally the
Republican party Is held chiefly responsi.
BILE.
Another thing that has brought about
these Democratic gains, is the panic.
Men out OF employment always hold the
party in power responsible for the finan.
cial situation. And 80 do their employ.
ers when their mills are closed. Just now
thousands Of men are idle and no pros
poets lor employment before them. They
are under an excitement in consequence
and are prone indeed to visit the responsi.
bility on the Government.
Under all these circumstances we need
not wonder at the character Of the returns
this morning.

Allegheny Live stock Market.
.. NOVEMBER 8, 1878.

CArrtE.-The receipts OF cattle, have
been heavy of, Western cattle, the greater
part OF which came from Ohio. There
were some forty cars, or about 800 head.
In addition to them, there were 50 head
driven in from Ashtabula county by ].
Simon, 23 head from Washington county
by N. jackson, 20 head from the same
place by James Hanlon, and 10 head from
the same place by Stroud & Perrin. NJ.
Warner, Peter Hartman and T. Kestner
had large drovcs from Greene county.
Davis q Rush one car from East Liberty.
Sadler, Havens & Co., two cars from the
same place. There were also scattering
droves from the surrounding country In
numbers sufficient TO make at least 800
head as the total ol offerings.
The quality Of the cattle on sale was
principally the medium and common
grades, very few good to extra cattle be-
ing among the offerings. The market
opened up slow and dull at about seven
o'clock, and continued 80 until the close.
In fact, Notwithstanding we have reported
some bad markets the last few weeks,
trade to-day was the worst Of the season.
Butchers alter making tour Of the yards
at once saw there was no scarcity OF cat
tie, and accordingly took their time about
purchasing. We do not remember OF
ever seeing them 90 bearish, They sat
around on fences utterly refusing to pur-
chase unless at about their own figures.
A good many drovers refused TO parley
with them and withdrew their cattle from
the market and sent them to East Liberty
for wholesale. There were also O good
many cattle which were not offered.
On the whole, trade ruled slow and at
about the lowest prices of the season. The
butchers all complained about their trade,
saying that owing to hard times they can
not sell the usual quantity Of meat, and
tor that they do sell they cannot get the
money. At present the outlook 10 not en-.
couraging, and for the present no i'm
provement in prices need be looked for.
Following are about the rates at which
the different grades sold at: Extra cattle,
1,400 lbs weight, so 90 To Sc 25; extra cat.
tie, 1900 lbs weight, $5 20 to 90 90; prime,

dealers. Trade ruled moderately active

MOI. TAXATION, More Economy, or

More Greenbacks.
The mixing given in our dispatches
mi, morning as to what Treasurer Spin

custom receipts and Internal Revenue
returns we shall be short about thirty'ave
millions, or, in other words, one'third OF
III" amount necessary to pay the interes.
on the public debt The Treasurer very
appropriately says that these figures afford
Eood for reflection. They call for q choice
on the part Of the people and Of Congress
viz: either an increase in our taxation
or reduction in our expenditures.
To intimstes that possible e1pedi-
ent in case neither ot these two are
sdop,ed, were be to indulge
in a few more greenbacks, and make these
preenbacks fundsble into bond bearing
a low rate Of interest at the pleasure ofthe
holder That Is, that inasmuch as 1t is
uncertain whether there really is enough
currency to do the business Of the country
IN the active seasons Of the year, we might
try the experiment oi letting out o little
,no,e line at such times and then taking
in The slack by the funding process al.
luled to when the pressure Is over.
|, will be curious to see what effect the
Iteasurer's report will have on Congress
when Il assemblies few weeks hence.
They will convene fresh from the people
and from contac. with the panic. They
will bc imbucd with tho popular senti-
men, on financial matters. What that sen.
,lment is to day and what 1t will be three
weeks hence is considerable Of puzzle to
Us, and to most other people we doubt not.
One thing certain, the people will not de-
msnd further taxation. That much can
Le decided in advance. AS to q reduction
in Government expenses, they are always
10 lavor Of that under all circumstances.
Bat as to O further issue Of greenbacks,
that sa question upon which the debtor
and creditor classes will never agree.
Those who have money and arc out ,oi
debt favor return to specie payments as
smatter Of course, Tor thereby every dol
lar they owe is appreciated. Those who
are in debt are effected in just the oppo-
site way. The wherewithal to pay their
debts is deprecated and the debt alone
remains as 1t was. Between these two
Congress will be nightly beset with out
side pressure, and as between them we
incline TO the opinion that Congress will
not favor an attempt to get 10 specie pay
meu,s at this time. They are more likely
to authorize the reissue of the torty.four
million reserve in the way spoken OF by
tho Treasurer.
