low-cltixens, ask You in AL can dor and
soDerness, would it not be an act OF wicked
folly, Tor reasons 50 himsy, without the least
prospect OF any real advantage, wantonly to
destroy banking system which, as every
man IN the country knows, 10 not only the
best we ever had, bat better than any other
we are likely to have; to destroy 1t at q

Annual Cost Of the Rebellion.
From the Philadelnhia PraSa


Our Democratic friends have much to
say on the expenditures of the govern
ment. The subject is interesting and
always important. The money spent is
cnllected from the people. and they have
q right to know why it is spent, and
how. The tables published elsewhere in
this issue analyze the expenditures for
the last eight years and will enable our
readers to see:
l. The amount of the total expendit.
ures of the government from 1869 to
1876, inclusive.
2. The amount of the ordinary expen-
ditures for the same years.
3. The amount of expenditures due to
the rebellion.
4. The population of the country in
each of the years named, and the pro-
portion per capita of both ordinary
expenses and those which were extra.
ordinary and due to the rebellion.
The figures in the tables may be relied
upon as correct. They have been care
fully complied from official sources in
the treasury department, and are pre-.
sented - entirely trustworthy.
They show these results:
l. That since 1869 1.-THE beginning OF
the Grant administration the total ex.
penditure, less redemption of public
debt, have fallen from $685., 895, O79. 81 in
1869, to $25S, 459, 799. 80 in 1876.
9. That the ordinary expenditures
have fallen from $11c, 970, 1893. 20 in 1869,
to $12O, 485, 334.69 in 1876.
8. That the per capita proportion OF
ordinary expenditures was 81. 50 in 1869,
and was $2.44 in 1876.
4. That the per capita proportion of
extraordinary expenditures and those
due to the rebellion was 1856 in 1869,
and 1927 in 1876
5. That the expenses due to the re-
bellioD were $l99, 623 ,662.24 in 1869, and
SAC. 919, 1923 in 1876, or nearly $12,
0O0, 900 month, and nearly 100000 a
day.
This is the cost the country is now
paying for having trusted the Demo
cratic party with the management of
it's affairs. We commend these figures
to the careful study Of the people,
They need no comment,

While the financial policy pursued
during and since the war by the govern
ment of the United States is denounced
and maligned by the leaders of the Dem.
0cratic and Greenbsck parties, it il

an eminent English statesman, distin.
guished equally for his surprising intel
lectual attachments, his long political
experience, his purity of character, and
his practical as well as theoretical knowl.
edge of finance. Here is what the Hon.
VIM. E. Gladstone, late prime minister
of England, in q recent article in the
North Ansericaa Revie,c, has to say of the
financial policy of the United States a.
conducted by the Republican party
since the war:
: More remarkable still was the financial
sequel to the great conflict. The internal
its commencement had been unknown, was
raised in obedience to an exigehcy of life
and death, SO ~ to exceed every present
and every past example. It pursued and
worried all the transactions of life. The
interest of the American debt grew to be the
highest in the world, and the capital

propertied classes, who were supreme in
parliament, at once rehelled against the
long government, and refused t. prolong
the income tax even for single year. We
talked big, both then and now, about the
payment of our national debt, but sixty
three years have now elapsed, all of them
except two called years 'ol peace, and we
have reduced the huge total by about one

AS TO MoNoPoLIKs.
Can the national banks be called q mo-
nopoly? Nonopolies are exclusive, and
national banking is free to any person in
the land who has money to invest. There
is, then, a monopoly of which everybody
can become part and beneficiary. There
are At present 2Os, 900 shareholders
in the national banks in the United
States. More than one-half Of them
hold shares to the amount of 1000 and less.
They are presumably people of limited
means, who have thus invested their little
surplus. And any five of you, if you can
raise the necessary capital, may, under the
laws, organize q national bank. And this
system is called a monopoly. Why, the
charge is too aDsury for argument. And
where is the oppressive money power in
these banks? What has it been able to eff
feet? Those banks are the most rigidly re-
stricted, the most closely watched, the most
tious 10 the country. His this money power
ever been strong enough in congress to re-
move single one of their restraints; to Sc
cure to them the least additional privilege
or latitude of action, or to relive them of a
single one of their burdens? You all know
that it has not. What . money power, that
can effect nothing for its own advantage!
Auu W nat arc the Iel1tlOns OF government
to those banks which our Democratic friends
pretend to be SO afraid of? The govern
meut issues to the banks their currency,
and then 1t sees to it that every dollar of
that currency be safe, that the stock is pa
in, thatthe reserves be main tainei Accord
ing to law. that the books ne regularly and
honestly kept, and SO on. In one work, the
government sees to it that no tricks be
played by which the bill-holder or the de-
posiror might be defrauded. And when the
government has to make a loan, the banks
sometimes aid it in peddling it out That il

chase the bonds ($S6S, 272 ,854) were loaned
out by them at eight per cent, the
annual income therefrom would be $29, O60,.
1873, and the difference between this
sum and the whole income from their
bonds and circulation, which is s., 644,3l7,
or the 65-lO0 per cent on the capital in
vested, represents the profits that the banks
would receive over and above what could
be obtained from the loan of the same
amount of capital at the rate Of interest
named, provided that the whole amount of
circulation received by the banks upon
their bonds. less the redemption fund,
could be kept loaned out by them con tinual-
ly throughout the year. In the above cal
culatiou no deduction is made for the costs
which lessons by SO much the profits on cir
culation. Those costs we're. for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1877, 1857 ,O66. An
other point that should be considered in
the above esrfmaYt OF yhe9Y cfrcufatiun- Is
that the banks held their bonds at a pre-.
MUM which appears among their assets for
a large amount. It was on December %,
1877, the date OF the last report of their con-
dition, $685., $780,"
The comptroller states further that if the
bonds ofthe banks necessary to secure their
circulation were converted into four per
cent bonds, which will as much a. possible
be done, their profits on circulation will be
only one and ninety one hundredths per
cent. on the capital employed.
Thus it appears that the national banks
are by no means the gold mines they were
represented to be, especially considering
that of late they have not been able to keep
their whole circulation loaned out the year
through, and that the losses charged off by
all the national banks during the year end
ing September l, 1876, were $l97l9.026 AZ,
during the following year, 1877; SIS, sss ST.
80; during the Xix months nth ended March 1,
two and a half years or 5o,555, 1885. Now
it win appear natural to you that the ratio
and surplus for the year 1877 was only five
and sixty.two oue-hundredths per cent, and
this wear it will not be greater.

What qualities must bank possess so
that you may call it o good one? If it be q

cured and surrounded with such guarantees
of converubility that they may pass

without danger of loss to auy BODY. Second
Its deposits must be well secured by re-

Its discount and loan business must be con-
ducted without extOrtloD, 20 as to afford
reasonable accommodation to the business

The Scientific Farmer says "The Rural
New Yorker seems to improve in each issue.
It has now the best list of contributors of
any weekly agricultural paper in the coun-
try, and is doing noble work, which must
meet its reward in success to the publishers.
We wish it good speed; for agricultural in
telligence is the great desideratum of our
farming population, and just and able
paper is powerful agency for good" This
tribute of one of our most intelligent and
perceptive agricultural journals to another
is alike true and creditable to the generous
spirit of its writer. But the Scientific Far
mer can afford to be appreciative of the
work of others, having so much merit of its
own. We are glad that it, too, finds its
field of usefulness widening, through the
appreciation it receives from the more stu
dious and progressive farmers OF the nation.
The names OF Carman of the Rural New
Yorker and of Sturtevant of the Scientific
Farmer may be well linked together as rep
resentatives of new era in agricultural
journalism.
