SECRETARY SHERMAN has written
! Senator Morrill, long letter on the subject
! of the bonded indebtedness Of the United
| States. He takes the ground that it would
| be unwise to attempt to refund the SIS and
| 6's falling due in the next eighteen months
| in 81 per cents, and states as a reason why
the issue would be unsuccessful that the i'm
proved condition of the mercantile and manu-
featuring interests of the country will afford
! better opportunities for investments than
! even q bond bearing higher rate Of in
! terest than those about to be refund
| ed. He says in regard to Fernando Woods
bill providing for 81 per cent. loan that
| the bonds would not sell at par, and that he
| has grave doubts of the Governments ability
| to borrow money much longer at four per
| cent. To make the trial however, as early
| as possible, he recommends that action be
| taken by Congress for the immediate issue of
| another four percent. loan. The amount of
| bonds to be refunded prior to July g. 1881, is
| nearly $780, 600, and Mr. Sherman thinks
! the time now available is none too great for
that purpose.
