TIE DEBT SETTLEMENT

The operations during the fiscal year ending
June 80 involve a reduction in every item of
tho rccapitulation. In the gold-bearing debt
the decrease has been S11 ,3i2, $50; in the in
terest thereon, $l08,997 ~; in the debt bear
ing currency interest, S67S, 900, and in the in
tercst thereon, $4,000; in the debt on which
interest has ceased, 1888, 400, and in the
interest thereon, Sl2,3i3 90; in the unclaimed
interest, So, 30, and in the entire bonded debt
and interest, $40, 677, sol 90. The most graft
flying feature of the years operations is that
the currency has been reduced S13 GS5, 3li 50;
legal tenders amounting to $G,O02,4S6 and
fractional currency amounting 10 So, $50, 1913 so
having been redeemed and retired during the
year. This is not only payment of debt, As
truly "a if any other part of the public in
dcbtedness had been Cancelled, but it is also
most useful removal of surplus currency, of
which many millions have been lying idle
during the year, retarding the progress of the
country toward normal prices and solid bust
ness.
During the month there has been an increase
OF $1,Gli,0 900 in the bonded debt bearing
interest and S6,71O,5O3 Al in the gold inter
est, and S35, 900 in the currency interest due,
making total increase of $3.50 SOB II. On
the other hand there has been decrease of
1892, G10 in the debt on which interest has
ceased, and $20,25G 10 in the interest due
thereon. There has also been a decrease of
S352, 50l in the legal-tender debt and -, 912,-
S7S 81 in the fractional currency, so that the
currency debt has been contracted in other
words paid, to tie extent of $3,2G5,3S2 81
Il tln Inns bn of
debt during the month has been only $3,S71,-
254 81 TO balance this there has been an
increase in coin owned by the Treasury of
$4,O34,21S G0-from $4,000, 966 81 to $44,-
944, 1874 97-and an increase of legal tenders
on hand of $3,71S, 433 81; total increase of
cash owned, $7,752,651 81. The decrease of
debt, less cash, has therefore been $3,S8l,-
1897 So. 1t is quite satisfactory to observe
that the decrease of debt continues to be
wholly in that part which serves as currency,
