The books OF the Treasury Department show
that on the first day of,the present month there
was fractional currency outstanding to the
amount Of 500, 440, 5l2. and silver coin in Cir .
culation to the amount of $50, 244 $3.50, with
50. Sac, 1903 additional silver coin in the Treas
ury and counted as in circulation. OF the
fractional currency carried on the Treasury
books as outstanding and in circulation, it is
believed that at least $40 ZOO, 0OO, or not farfrom
one half the whole amount recorded, has been
lost or destroyed, and will never be presented
for redemption. Assuming this to be the case,
nearly three-fourths of the whole amount of
"change" now in circulation is composed oil
silver coins, and the remainder soon will be.
circular from the Treasury Department has
been issued, giving information intended to
facilitate the distribution of subsidiary silver
coin to the full amount authorized by law,

Now these bonds calling for only seven per

foreign markets, where money will only COM

secured on unencumbered real estate at one
fourth its value, will give them a good credit,
and will cause them to sell readily at good
profit Now the amount lent i'll this manner

alone it must amount to great many millions
yearly, aud thus we are rapidly becoming the
bondsmen of foreign and domestic capitalists.

now having their turn, and the big capitalists

OF the Treasury, the principal gold rings and

The American Register, published in the
capital of France, has all article on the pro-
posed resumption of specie payments in this
countryi for which President Grant said we
were fully prepared. The Register shows the
utter falacy of1his assumption. On January
|, last, we had $97 OOO, 900, in coin in the
Treasury to serve as basis for the redemption
of 1861 200, 600 of greenbacks, .$27 900, :
600 of fractional currency, and about
$500, 600, 900 fin bank notes. There
were $500, 100000 in promises to
pay and less than one-eighth of that sum with
which to redeem them. On January Is the
bank note circulation of the Bank of France
amounted to about $500, OO0, 900, and the bull
lion in its value to about $439, 600, 600; never
theIess the French Minister of Finance hest
tates to resume specie payments, although
there is nearly a gold dollar in the till OF the
Bank of France for every dollar outstanding on
the hands of the French public. Can we do
with one-eighth, that which France hesitates to
do with seven-eighths?

Democrat said:

Two or three weeks ago, the Faribault
Democrat said:
One of the effects of the repeal of the mort
gage foreclosure law will be seen in the large
number of mortgage sales that appear in this
issue of the Democrat, this being the last week
in which mortgages could be foreclosad under
the old law 1t will be noticed that all these
mortgages are for comparatively small sums.
and the probability is that none of them would
ever have been foreclosed had it not been for
the iniquitous repeal of the law alluded to, by
Mr.. Donnellys late legislature, whereby the
cost of foreclosing is so much increased that a
small mortgage is not worth it. Poor mans
plaster, you see.
All very pretty; but row that the law
is in force the foreclosure of mortgages
has sensihly diminished, and creditors
are satisfied to give the debtors chance,
rather than risk law suit; if they have
charged them usurious interest hereto
fore.
So time already justifies the wisdom
of the act.
