Eight millions of Annual Interest saved

Eight Millions Of Annual Interest Saved.
Since President Hayes administration
came into power the enormous sum Of
S55O,OOO,OOO Of 0 per cent bonds have been
refunded into bonds bearing a lower rate
OF interest-largely into per cent bonds.
The conversion has been accomplished at
the rate Of about 100000 per month
for the whole time, which is something
unparalleled in the history OF national
flnanciering. From March 4, 1877, to Jan
uary /, 1873, the sales amounted to $751;
100000; from January l, 1878, to January
!, 1870, to SIPS, 100000; and from January
l, 1870, to April 4, 1879, to SS50,0O0, 900.
During the last three months they have
averaged SIG, ,OOo, 900 and more per month.
The proceeds of the sales have in part
been applied to resumption purposes, but
mainly to the redemption of the 6 per
cent 500 bonds, and the saving OF interest
thus effected has been, or will be as soon
as the called bonds are matured, between
eight and nine millions OF dollars per an.
mum.
The next step will be the conversion ol
the 1910 bonds, bearing per cent interest,
into bonds bearing a lower rate. A ques'
ton has arisen how far the Secretary Of
the Treasury has power under the existing
funding act to redeem the 10-4Os. The
act provides that the bonds which II
authorizes shall be gold and the proceeds
applied to the redemption Of securities
"known as go bonds" or be exchanged at
par for such bonds, "but the bonds hereby
authorized shall be used for no other pur
pose whatsoever" If this act stood by it
self the secretary certainly would have nc
authority to sell As and apply the proceeds
to the redemption OF 10,40's. But he
evidently believes himself authorized tc
do this by the refunding certificate act
since he gives notice that 'the pei
cent consols will hereafter be sole
for the redemption OF 1910 bondl
of the act Of March 81, 1854
upon terms to be hereafter presented.
| If he is authorized to do this, the subscrib
ing bankers are doubtless aware oft, ant

from various lodges in the county were pre-
sent. A short session was held in the fore
noon which was devoted to organizing, &c,
and at noon the visitors repaired to the
Academy room under the hall where dinner
was served by the ladies of Winthrop Lodge.
The afternoon session was called to order at
2 o'clock by District Templar, f. A. A. Heath
of Hallowell, and reports from the different
lodges were made by the delegates present
The lodges were with one exception reported
to be in very prosperous condition. The
District Templar made his quarterly report
and suggested system OF monthly visits to the
various lodges in the county by the District
Lodge. lie stated that arrangements had
been made with the Maine Central Railroad
so that parties wishing to thus visit could be
furnished with half fare tickets over their
road. G. W. G. T., A. j. Chase, arrived by
the afternoon troin. and upon being introduced,
spoke half an hour giving a report OF the con-
dition of the order Throughout the State The
cider question was pretty thoroughly discussed
and the following resolutions passed in relation
to it.
Rcsolred, That in cider we recognize one
of our most powerful enemies, and we feel the
need of an amendment to the prohlbltory law
to place further restriction on its sale.
Resolved, That it is in the interest Of
temperance that temperance men and women
should so far as possible abstain from buying
and using alcoholic, spirituous and malt liquors,
including cider, as a beverage, and patent
medicines, for mechanical medicinal, culinery
or any other purpose.

graph to the convention of Reform Clubs then

ing their congratulation was received in the
same manner and read by the District Secre-
tary. In justice to the District Council it may
be stated that they were unaware of the con-
vention at Lewiston when the date OF the
District Lodge was decided upon, and did not
learn of it until notice had been sent to the
subordinate lodges. The customary resolutions
were passed thanking Winthrop Lodge for
their hospitality and the M. G. Railroad for
their reduction in the rates of fare.
