comes in bonds that had been held
abroad, and SO keeps the interest on
them at home.
Our national bonds, which at one
time commanded about 20 per cent. in
gold to float them, are now eagerly
taken at less than 81 per cent. in
gold.
Just in proportion as those bonds are
called in, and paid off, the bottom will
be taken out of the National Banking
system; it will perish with our nation
al debt.
In 1873, long step was taken hack
ward, in our financial system. by the
characterization of silver.
Our Constitution, in common with
the legislation of the civilized world,
recognizes silver as well as gold as a
standard Of values; and while this was
true, our Government had two metals
for coinage-two sources from which
to draw the means to pay it's debts.
The demonetization of silver dried
up one of those resources, and so pro-
longed the existe nee of our national
debt and the existence of our banking
system, as based on that debt.
That legislation was simply rascally,
and good deal worse than the salary
grab.
In fact, between the denonetization
of silver and scounderly contracts on
the moiety plan, the Government suf-
fered more at the hands Of its prOfessed
friends in 1873 than it suffered from the
Confederates in 1862.
But we are not yet through with this
matter. All legislation limiting the
amount of the coinage of silver is a
| move in the same direction, and par
takes of the same moral character as
the demonetization of silver-that is, il
restrains the Government from Great
| ing the means to pay its debt in coin
age recognized by the Constitution OF

our National Finances.
BY THOMAS CALLAHAN.

Having given cursory description
of the United States Treasury Depart
ment and it's operations, our national
system of finance claims attention.
Under the Articles of Confederation,
Congress had power to borrow money
and emit bills on the credit of the Unit
ed States; but rs, unfortunately, no ad-
equate provision was made for the re-
demption of those bills, they speedily
became valueless; and upon the organ
ization Of our Government under the
Constitution. Alexander Hamilton, the
Secretary of the Treasury under Wash
ington, had to construct a system of
finance.
The General Government assumed
the debts of the several States, and
funded them in long bonds, and for
their redemption levied duties on inn
ports and tonnage, and to protect home
products.
A national bank was chartered for
twenty years, and the charter subse-
qusntly renewed for 3 like term; and
the institution was for all practical
purposes the financial agent of the
Government.
The sales Of the public lands in Sec
tions, at two dollars per acre, yielded
considerable revenue.
When the balance sheet was struck
in 1916 the United States was found to
be Sl2O, ,eoO, 900 in debt. In less than
twenty years. that debt was wiped out,
and $40, ,00O, 900 surplus money in the
Treasury: this was loaned to the diff
ferent States, on the basis Of popula-
tion.
In the meantime the Government
had fought its first great battle against
q power which it had created.
Upon the expiration of the second
charter of the United States Bank,
Congress renewed it's charter, and
President jackson vetoed the bill; and
as It failed to secure the requisite two
thirds majority, the Bank was COM
PEELED to close, the funds of the Gov
ernment being removed, and the Sub
Treasury scheme. which had some OF
tho features Of our present system, was
substituted.
An effort was made under the ad-
ministration of President Tyler to re
yive the United States Bank; different
bifls were passed for that purpose by
Congress, and promptly vetoed by the
