There has been another gra tifying
and important Improvement in the state
of the public debt. A few years ago
our bonds were largely owned in foreign
countries. It is estimated that in 1871
from ssO0.ooO,O0O to $1.ooo,oOo,oO0
were held abroad. We tnen paid from
$50,ooO.o 900 to S60.o0o.o00 annually
to Europe for interest alone. Now the
bonds are mainly held in our own coun-
try. It is estimated that FIVE sixths of
them are held in the United States, and
only one-sixth abroad. Instead of pay
ing to foreigners $50 100000, we now
pay them only about S12,O00,0O0 or
SIS, 100000 year, and the, interest on
zens. 1t appears from what has been
shown that since the close Of the war,
since the panic Of FIVE years ago.. there
has been a great change in the condition
of the debt. The change has been. one

year. sa 2 ses-
As we have already seen, the balance
of trade in the last three years in favor
of the United States is $388, 8,582, ,539, or
an average of more than $3.50, ,o00.000a a
year. The balance of trade the last
year, if compared with that of the two
years next before the panic, shows
gain in favor of the United States, in
one year, of over 100000, 900. shi a9etE
It is not necessary that I should dwell
upon the Importance of this favorable
state of the balance of trade. Balances
must be settled in cash-in the money
of the world. The enterprises of our
business men reach out to all parts of
the world. Our agricultural and man
ufactured products more and more seek
and find their market in foreign coun-
tries. The commerce of all parts Of the
world, bound together more than ever
before by steamships, railroads, and
telegraph, is so connected that it must
be conducted on the same principles and
by the same instrumentalities BY all who
take part in it.
We cannot if we would, we should not
if we could, isolate ourselves from the
rest of the commercial world. In all our
measures for the improvement of our
financial condition we should remember
that our increasing trade with South
America and with the Old World requires
that our financial system shall be based
on principles whose soundness and wis.,
dom are sanctioned by the universal ex-
perience and the general Judgment of
/ all mankind. With diminished and still
diminishing public burdens, Of debt. ex-
i penditures and interest, with an improv-
ed condition of currency and foreign
trade, we may well hope that we are on
the threshold Of better times. But We
must not forget that the surest founda-
ton of restored financial prosperity is
sound constitutional currency and un-
stained National credit. ~ .

the CONVENTION MUST SETTLE
IT.

The Republican State Convention will
ASSEMBLE in Eureka on Wednesday next.
1t Is unfortunate that through the mis-
take made by The Central Committee Of
Storey. and their obstinacy in refusing
to rectiiy 1t when the full measure Of its
disastrous effects was brought to their
knowledge. two sets Of delegates will
apply for seats in the Convention. 1t
will be the first. and by no means the
least important duty Of the Convention
TO decide between the claims OF these
two rival delegations. The fact stares
this Convention broadly in the face that
the Republican party in the County Of
Storey is in danger OF being weakened
by Reorganization. unless something is
done to close up the threatened breach.
A united Republican party in this State
can gain n signal victory over the Dem
ocrais led by Bradley for a third term;
but a disunited party will assuredly in
vito defeat at the polls in November.
1t is not for US to suggest the proper
course to be purssd in harmonizing the
an~tagonistic elements OF the party in
this county. The convention will have
the benefit OF wise counsel from able
men. and no doubt some means will DO
found to reconcile the opposing factions
without q sacrifice Of principle. A way
may DO found. and ii must be found. IL
possible, to heal this unfortunate wound
in our party. 1t is a wound which
never should have been made. but IL
exists. and the duty OF the hour Is to
find the remedy. A little yielding on
both sides may result in . complete
fusion Of our strength again, and II that
can DO accomplished. q judicious selsc-
ton OF candidates will assure US q vic.
tory at the election.
One great good will come Of the mis-
fortane which has ovsrtaksn us. No
future County Committee will ever be
no arrogant and injudicious as to APP
point delegates to u State Convention
from this county. in opposition to the
will OF even u minority Of the party.

There are several candidates for the

but the meeting Of the Convention on
Wednesday makes a repetition at this
moment timely. The present ineum-
bent. Rev. Samuel z. Kelly. is q candi-
date for reelection. He is al Episcopal
clergyman. Rev. J.. ID. Hammond Of

ton. The cloth OF thesstwo gentlemen.

should d~isqualify them for receiving the
nomination. No clergyman. or other
person prominently and publicly con-

man We offer an insult to every parent
who has children to educate. who be-
longs to a different church than that

dents adhesion.

see to 1t that he is elected. Mr.. Kelly
has served one term. and that should
