THE FOUR PER CENT BONDS.
BY Whom They Are Taken-The
Greatest Demand For Small
Denominations.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter- Ocean gives an account Of
an interview with Treasury Official who
has immediate charge Of the Issue Of the
new bonds, in which he Is reported to
have made the following statement 10 re.
ply to an inquiry respecting the class Of
investors which take the largest amount
Of bonds:
"From my observation, Judge that the
creates. number OF investors is compris.
cd In the class who have had their money
in banks-savings banks, especially. The
next largest number d bonds are taken
by insurance companies and trust COM
panies, who want a. longtime bond.
Third l would name new banks that are
being organized, who buy them for de.
posit 10 eecnre their circulation, and old
banks who have called bonds on which
interest has ceased, and which they must
replace. The next class is composed Of pri.
ya.e cApitAlists;.hey are feE, butwhen they
buy they takelarge amountsa Of course the
second, third aud fourth. class I have
named have the largest. amount invested,
but yop will End by far liz, largest num-
Der Of investors 10 the frat class. ] mo-
tice that the most Of the bonds called Tor
are either Of very, small or very large
denominations. That indicates that the
people who buy 4 per cents are either
poor or else they are very rich. The sd-
vantages offered BY these bonds are
greater to the very rich and the very
poor man than TO the middle classes, a.
the latter want bonds that are easily con.
verted. They keep their money in mo-
tion. They see away in which they can
make u sum Of money bring & big yield
for lew weeks. They sell their bonds
and use 1t. When they have reaped the
profit they buy bonds again. But the
advantages Of these bonds TO the very
poor or The very rich are: 1.-The long
time tina, they run; their small denom-
inations; they are free from taxation; the
interest is payable quarterly; and a draft
Is sent 70 the post Office address OF the
owner, whereas, IN collecting interest on
other bonds, you have to go somewhere
and be identified, or hire lawyer TO get
il for you, which is great bother.

'rhe Number OF .upemployed
- PeISonA.

Amid the vague guesses and bIoaied
statistics which our sgitAtors are con-
stantly quoting to irritate the working
men one sees with keen satlsfaction some
figures carefully gathered by the Mas
-achuetts bureau organized for the Pur.
pose OF secumula.ing facts abont the
population and its condition. It is said
BY men who are interested 10 "srousing'
the sorkingmen that the hard times have
thrown three hundred thousand men out
Of employment IN the United States. OF
course these are assertions, but they
have had their effect upon lsborets, and
could not be met by statistics until those
just compiled appeared. These statistics
were obtained By careful investigation in
three hundred and twenty five towns and
nihtsln ciiies 6fMissachusetts, and chow
that out Of 5s4, 800 labors in the state,
less theh Eve per ceutum, or 2s,50s OF
both seIes are GU, Of work. The same
ratio, appliedto the whole population OF
the country, would give only $4,000 un.
employed persons 10 the whole country
gu. Of ten millions engaged in productive
Industry. But those figures are much too
large, because the mill industries which
give the chief employment 10 Massa.
ohusstta laborers have felt the hard times
veryymueh more than most OF the other
industries Of the country, particularly
agriculture. The estimate Of the unem'
ployed also includes that large and
disrepu.able class who are tramps by pro.
iessi0n; so that by u fair estimate 1t is
probable that three per centum would
represen. more than the real proportion
oiwilling laboress in the country who
cannot se. work. We presume, therefore
tha, il We. could get at the. facts they
would show tina. /. Is very small tTac-
lion OF the work, people who are just now
making most Of the noise. The workmen
on small wages who are inclined TO join
in the cry Of the unemployed will do we'll
