REDUCTION OF INTEREST.

By reason of improved credit, the interest
of that debt has been changed until to-day,
it is only $4,000, 900 a year, instead of
$l51, 900, 900 year. More than a. third of
the interest has been cut off. If we were to
put into a sinking fund to-day, at four per
cent. interest, the reduction of the rate of
interest, it would pay the whole debt in less
than twenty-five years. But that is not all.
Every man in this community is not only
relieved somewhat of the burden of that
great debt, but all engaged In business, no
have to borrow money, understand that the
rate of interest that Is paid by the Govern
ment of the United States influences, |
might also say regulates, the interest that
YOU are to pay. If the Government pays
seven and three tenths per cent. with such

and that in country that had known al
most no national debt at all, and the actual
debt was more than that, for we owed to the
soldiers that had not been paid; we owed
for quarternaster and commlssary stores;
and the actual debt was not less than 3d.
000.000,000 thirteen years ago to-day.
Worse than that: all nations IN war are
compelled to borrow, and they are COM
PEELED to borrow at such rates as the men
who have money to lend choose to ask. Our
burden of interest on that debt was over
$151 900, 900 a year. For interest alone, we
were paying, in 1865, after peace, double
the expenses Of the government IN any year
of peace prior to the rebellion. Well, now
how are We? Fortunately, Secretary Nc
Culloch did not regard national debt
as a national blessing, and he adopt
ed the policy of reducing the DEBT,
thereby strengthening the credit OF the
nation. and in that way enabling us to get
our money at lower rates of interest, to re-
fund the debt on better terms. Now,
among the wise men of the country, through
the press and upon the platform, there were
O. number who told the people that that debt
would never be paid that great nations
never paid their war debts that 1T would be
like the debt of England and France-a
burden upon us and our posterlty Tor all
generations. Hugh McCulloch and the
people of the United States were fortunate
" wiser than that. They believed that the
debt could be honestly paid according to It's
spirit and the letter of the obligations Great
ING it. and they went to work, and from
that Law to this, every year has seen a ma
terial reduction of the debt; and to-day, IN
stead of $780, 600, 900, it is only about 81
OOO. 900, 600 nearly one-third paid OFT In
thirteen years. Applause.

securities as Government bonds, none Of you
can get it for any less. Nay, it will be ten,
twelve or fourteen for the citizen; and when
we get it down to four, that brings it down
for every citizen borrowing money IN the
United States. Applause. In short d
good national credit means good credit for
the individual. Lower rates of interest for
the Government mean lower rates of inter-
est for business men everywhere.
But, again, in reference to this debt. only
seven years ago, in 1871, it was ascertained,
as near as such fact can be ascertained, that
our bonds owned abroad amounted to from
$900,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 that we
were paying from fifty to sixty millions of
dollars a year to go across the water; and
now we have ascertalned IN the same way
that those bonds have been coming back
under the changed balance of trade, until
to-day there is owned abroad only from
S20O,000,0 900 to $300,000,000. Instead of
sending abroad each year $50,000,000 or
$50 100000, we now send abroad only from
$12,000,000 to SIS 100000. Now, that is
the debt, greatly diminished, interest great
ly diminished, owned at home instead Of
abroad
TAXATION GREATLY DIMINISHED.
well, GcblhG utAotllOu. w uCu Ll1C w cl1 CHIl-
ed, the first year Of peace, our taxes were
$488, 100000 for national purposes. Gus
tom duties and internal revenue duties
amounted to $4S8, 900. To-day, they
amount to $240, 100000, an improvement Of
almost $3.50, 100000 In the taxes that bur
den the capital and labor Of the country:
expenditures the same, diminution almost
equally as great; and this decrease has gone
straight on during the period of the panic.
AN IMPROVED CURRENCY.
Well, now take the other side We have
less debt, we have less taxes, we have great
" improved currency and exports and i'm
ports. Let us look at these two things just
for moment. Our currency thirteen years
ago bank note paper and greenbacks =
amounted to six or seven hundred millions of
dollars. It amounts to about that now
But then each dollar was worth 50 cents
To-day each dollar is worth 9915 or 99l
cents. Applause. Then our six or seven
hundred millions of dollars was worth only
about $500,00O,000. To-day it is worth
about six or seven hundred millions of dol
lars. But better than that: Then our cur
rency was tickle, and it f1uctuated In value
from day to day. We had Black Fridays,
DAYS when it went up; and then we had
other DAYS when it went down; and, now,

ANDERSON'S CASE.
A Pardon by Governor Nichols Re-
gnrtled as Pretty Certain.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New ORLEANS, March 14.-Thcre appears
little doubt that the Legislature is held here
in connection with the Returning Board
pardons. 1t is stated by undoubted author
ity that fourteen Democratic Senators have
agreed to stand by Governor Nichols in par
doning Anderson, and they would delay
legislation until Anderson $ case is decided
by the Supreme Court. In furtherance of
this arrangement they have not passed any
of the important House bills sent to them,
and are delaying matters in every possible
way. This fact coming to the knowledge
of the Democratic members of the House, a
resolution was introduced to adjourn Sat
urday next sine die.
This it is thought will pass and the House
will adjourn anyhow, and the Senate re-
main in session. as the Supreme Court can
not decide on Anderson's case until Mon
day
There is no reasonable doubt but Nichols
will pardon Anderson as soon as his case is
decided upon by the Supreme Court.
The whole matter in connection with the
calling of amextra session has commenced
to work much bitterness, and threatens a
disruption of the party here. Prominent
Democratic members of the House de-
nounce the whole proceedings. A leading
member said Nichols was trying in every
way to dodge the issue, but that it would be
forced, and if he pardOned Anderson he
must abide the consequences,

MONTGOMERY BLAIR RESOLUTIONS
Finally Laid to Rest by the Mary
land Legislature,

National Associated Press to the Star
ANNAPOLIS, MD, March 1.-THE resolu-
tions and memorial of Montgomery Blair
came up before the Maryland House of Del
egates as the order Of the day at 5 o'clock
last night, the motion being to substitute
the resolutions and memorial for an unfa-
vorable report of the Committee on Federal
Relations, which had the same under con-
sidcration. The discussion lasted until mid
night, when, by unanimous consent, other
resolutions were offered by Mr.. Blair as
substitute for the unfavorable report, in
which it is asserted that, by acquiescence in
the Presidential fraud Congress invites fu-
ture usurpations, and the deposition of Mr.
Tiden is denounced as tagrant outrage.
The resolutions were rejected for want of
a Constitutional majority vote. Yeas, 3;
nays, q. Thus have Montgomery Blair's
absurd and ridiculous resolutions, in regard
to the Presidential question, finally been
laid at rest by the Maryland Legislature.
In the course of the debate Blair heard
some pretty plain talk, but it will in all
probability Be entirely lost upon him. He
is one of those men who never learn any
thing.
