WHAT II COSTS 10 GOVERN &.

WHAT IT COSTS TO GOVERN Us.
A Washington special of the Sth says:
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, Chair
man Of the special committee Of the
senate appointed on his motion last
winter to investigate the ancient
charges of irregularity in the book
keeping of the Treasury Department,
has called upon Treasurer Gillian for
statement of the receipts and expen-
ditures of the United States Gov
eminent for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1860, to and including the fiscal
year ending June so, 1877. When he
has procured these, Senator Davis will
call upon Major Power, chief of the
warrant division Of the secretary's
office, register Schofeld, and comp
trolers Porter and Upton, for similar
statements, and then he will set his ex-
perts ut the work of making compari
sons and detecting differences.
The statement called for from
treasurer Gilfllan is about pre-
pared, and presents old familiar
figures in new form. 1t will show
the income of the government for the
eighteen years named, and whence it
was derived. 1t will also show the ex-
pense of sustaining the government for
the years named, and for what the
money was spent. There is always
something bewildering to the ordinary
mind in wide columns of figures, but
the following are exceedingly i'm
portant.
The following table will show what it
has cost to run the government, pre-
senting the gross receipts and gross ex-
penditures for each of the years named:

The Trade Dollars.

A Washington dispatch says Secretary
Sherman has addressed long and in
torcsting letter to II. 0. Booth, of Mans
field, O., concerning the issue Of the
trade dollar, and the present deprecia-
ton in its value. Upon the latter point,
Secretary Sherman SAYS ut no time and
on no account have they ever been re-
ceived or paid out by the treasury, and
it is cause Of regret that 50 many
Of our people should have ac-
cepted them at their face value,
thus enabling their owners to
put them into circulation at consider
able profit Under date of July %,
1873, tho director Of the mint published
tables from which the value Of coins
can be ascertained. He does not adj
wise any one to dispose Of them mt such
rates. AS early as Aug. "A, 1876, the
department informed an enquirer that
trade dollars had only bullion value,
and this information has been
repeated scores Of times and pub
liShed by the press throughout the
country. 10 avoid the labor Of prepar-
ing manuscript letters, the director Of
the mint embodied the information in
tho circular, adding thereto tables for
computation of such value that there
was no new decision involved in the
circular, though possibly its publication
may have FASTENED depreciation Of
coins to their true value, an even. which
was inevitable and could not have been
much longer delayed.
