An INTERVIEW WITH MR. SHERMAN.
GREENBACK ERRORS ANswERED-HOw MONEY Is
SAVED BY BUYING BONDS.

SAVED Bf DD 1ING BONDS.
TBY TELEGRAPH TIRE TRIBUSF.l
WASHINGTON. Sept 23.-Judging from the tenor
of the arguments use by Greenback and Demo
cratic speakers and newspapers IL is evident.
Secretary Sherman says. that very great misap-
prehension exists in many quarters respecting the
policy of the Treasury Department in applying the
surplus revenues of the Government to the pur-
chase of United States bonds not yet due. on which
bonds 1t would otherwise be obliged TO continue
the payment of interest.
The Secretary says that considered purely
business operation it is highly benfcial and profit
able to the Government. The bonds not due.
and the Government has no power to pay them of
except with the consent of the owners.
The profit resulting to the Government may be
shown as follows When the Government purchases
say 800 6 per cent bond due in 1881, it pays at
the last rate 800 for the bond and 81 80 for the in
terest and premium. If this bond were not re-
deemed until maturity the Government would have
10 pay S1O6, of which 800 would be the lace
value OF tho bond and So the accrued interest.
The prctt made by stopping the interest Is therefore
81 1.4S. In the last purchase of bonds amounting
to 81 800, 000 this profit amounted 10 T29 1870. 90
and on the bonds amounting to S9G.271 900 which
haze been purchased BY Secretary Sherman with
money that would otherwise have lain idle
in the Treasury, the net interest saved is
$4,134 ,63535. This may be bad financiering but
1t looks uncommOniy like good management.
