THE BUSINESS MEN.

Twenty.seven wealthy men of New
York city-bankers, brokers and real
estate owners-publish card in which
they state the reduction of the public
debt and interest since 1866, the reduc-
ton made also in the government rev.
enues since that date and the elevation
of the credit of the government to APPOINT
that enables it to negotiate A per cent.
loan at par; and they declare that in view
of these results of judicious management
of the national treasury during Republi-
can administration, they are induced to
express their belief "that continuation
of the same general policy would be best
promoted by the election of Gen. RUTH
ERFoBD b. Hayes and WILLIAM A.
WHEELER to the offices of President
and Vice-President of the United
States"
Are these wealthy gentlemen certain
they know what they are talking about!
They say "the national debt reached its
maximum amount in 1865, Aug. 81
S2,756, ,43l, SOL" This is not true. The
treasury reports show that on June 81,
1866, the debt was $2,773, 236,l73, which
is larger than the amount stated for
1866. But the official reports OF the
Treasury Department are utterly unre-
liable; they have given US as many as
four different statements of the
public debt on the same day, and
their statements of the receipts and
expenditures strangely disagree with each
other. These New York gentlemen tell
US that the public debt has been reduced
S656, ,992, 246 since 1865. Admitting this
to be true, 1t is not nearly as much as II
ought to have been reduced in the eleven
years referred to. If the millions and
hundreds Of millions squandered Ill that
period had been deVoteu 10 Tue pay inen'
of the debt, the reduction would be
81 200, ,OOe,O 900, instead of $3.50, ,992, 246.
But the gentlemen whose mans are ap-
pended TO this card Including that OF +. ID
MORGAN, Republican candidate for gov
ernor of New York, do not really know
what the public debt was IN 1865, n1r In
1866, nor IN 1867. One of Mr.. Bout
WELLS reports states the debt for 1866 at
81 733, ,236,l73, and another states 1t
81, 49,, 4,425,s97. No matter, then, which
of these statements the New York card
writers take, it will be contradicted by
the other. Mr.. boutwell,, himself, did
not give us true statement of the public
debt, and it is certain his Republican
| friends cannot.

out thirty steerage passengers between

admit that Tilden will carry New York
and the country.
Two weeks since Addison Comstock,
stock operator here, paid james Gordon
Bennett $500 to give him a call for
bet of S25, 900 against Hayes. Yesterday
the call was made and the money put up,
but last night Bennett got Morrissey to
hedge it for him on Tilden at odds OF
500 to $50. Thus Comstock bets 81, 100
to S2,250.

The Bans Kers who Want Hayes.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
In the two Grant Presidential cam.
paigns a part of the Republican pro-
gramme was, on the eve of election, 10
parade certificates OF eminent bankers
that Radical success was essential to the
maintenance of the public credit. The
same course is adopted now. On all these
occasions the names of certain known,
solvent, honest and eminent bankers have
been conspicuously absent. There arc
other names now not seen signed 10 the
stereotyped circular for the first time
They are Jay Cooke u Co, Duncan,
Sherman & Co. and Henry Clews. Here
tolore they have been the trumpets to
sound the alarm Of financial danger IN
case Of Democratic success. Men OF pru-
dence then thought that solvent bank
and all bankers who did not desire to
speculate off the government ought to
keep silent upon politics. Jay Cooke d
Co, Duncan, Sherman u Go. and Henry
Clews-Mortons poor Henry"-were
not solvent, and they had speculative
designs upon the Treasury. Instead,
then, of bankers discrediting the Demo-
cratic party by Eliminating political cir
culars they justly dlscredit themselves or
are properly subjected thereby to suspl-
cion of designs upon the Treasury. Pre-
serve the late circular. Put it away
with the former ones OF Jay Cooke "
Co., Duncan, Sherman & Go. and Henry
Clews, and remember that legitimate
banking keeps entirely aloof from poll

The Bankers at IL Again.

ClDclnnatl Enquirer.
Four years ago the country listened to
the appeal of the bankers, and elected
Grant. The bankers said that there
would be 10 business security, no gene
raj prosperity, If the Democratic party
succeeded. Grant was elected, and six
months after his Inauguration came the
panic of 1873. The bankers circular de-
manding the election of Hayes, that is
now circulating throughout the country,
is exceedingly significant. Is the
country to be managed in the in
terest of the bankers2 If the bank
e.s, who are perpetually prosper
Gus while every other man fails, are
able, by issuing circulars, to dictate the
policy OF the Government, we might as
we'll appoint the bankers OF the United
States high commission for the con-
duct OF our Government. No need OF
elections; let banks decide. Let the
borrowers have no voice; let the
lenders govern. Let the debtor classes,
nineteen -twentieths of all the people, be
voiceless, but let the money changers die
tate the laws and name the President. In
ancient days the money changers were
cast out of the pious Temple OF Liberty.
1t new appears that the money changers
have only to issue circular, and forty
millions Of people in free land, must
obey. This is the denomination of the
banks. This appeal of the worthy
banking gentlemen would be less sig
ni6cant but for the fact that the Dusi-
ness of the country is practically with
in the cspscious control of nation
al machine that stretches its greedy
fingers into every nook and corner
of the land Mines may prove proftless |;
mills may become noiseless; bountIIul
farms may leave their frugal owners in
want; manufacturers may bury the sccu-
mutations of a lifetime; laboring men
may LOOK starvation In the face, but the
banks prosper. Shall the National
bankers and the money-changerS be
Enperors OF this country?
