Morrison. who insists that the government
should retain its option of calling the
bonds whenever it shall have money to
pay them with, and that it ought not rely
xpon or be affected by the market prices
of securities, and that in order to have that
option the government must pay for it by
additional interest.

REFUNUIN9,

Mr.. a. s. hatch, the great banker, says
Washington dispatch. is pressing for a
three per cent refunding bond with great
vigor, He has addressed a circular letter
to leading men of both houses and there ID
no.doubr that his arguments have produced
a decided impression. Mr.. Hatch insists
that very large proportion of those who
invest in government bonds are ready to
acquiese in three per cent. bond He
bases this statement on what he has learn
ed ia the course Of his business as dealer
in government securities. He says that
is rapidly increasing, while the government
debt is decreasing; that aocumulations oil
capital restricted to the government bonds
are sufficient to float the entire public
debt at low rate of interest, and that the
time has arrived when capital in this
country invested with absolute security
and unaccompsnied with labor or risk
must be content with three per cent. and
to earn more than this must be backed by
effort and participate in the hazards OF
from the ruling rate Of interest on call
loans in the money market that three per
cent bonds will command par, and insists
that three per cent. bond in six months
would command so high price as to real
ize not more than per cent. to the in
vestors. The question of the desirsbility
Of an early optson is met by the statement
that it would be unnecessary to provide for
this with 3 per cent. bond because
the government could always buy ITS
however. that the government will not
have the means to provide for an early
payment Of the bonds falling due the
coming year and which are sought to be
refunded, The burdens imposed on the
resources Of the country by the arrears of
pensions act promise TO swallow up all the
surplus which has been fondly anticipated.
That act has added 10 many new pension
srs to the rolls that in the last year the
annual pension roll. including the arrears,
has increased from s2e. 900. 900 in 1879 to
$50. 900 900 in 1880 and $41. ZOO, 900 in
1881. But $19. 900, 900 have to be added
to this last figure which is the amount of
the deficiency reported by the commission
or OF pensions. This makes 500 100000
for the current fiscal year, an increase in
two years of $3I.ooo,OO0. It may be
readily seen from this hew creditable it lie
that Commissioner Bently is right In stat
ing that the arrears of pensions act will
cost the government 1921, 100000. This
would swallow up an annual surplus of
more thar $50 600, 900 for ten years. wher
the # per cents. and all the proposed
certificates become due. It is stated by
business men here that all this has been
taken into consideration By those whe have
money to invest in government bonds, and

men that no matter what time may be

PLoMA was awarded to this Magnes1a. by the
American Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as aperient antic-acid in dyspepsia compl aints
attended with accidity with very great benefit. Il
has the advantage over common Magnesia in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu-
mulate in the bowels It is decidedly superior to
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash on account of its ap-
orient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial pleasing sedative and aperient in all
cases Of irritation or acdty of the stomach
complaints, infant.le disorders, or sea sickness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn, aerid quotations and sourness,
or Irregular digestion.
The solution is Of itself an aperient but its laxs-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, OF directly after ii, little lemon juice,
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartar, in this manner very agreeable eder-
vescent draugh can be safely taken at any time
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
to tie presence of so much carbon1c acid, have
been found very valuable in putrid and other fe-
ver AS lotion for the mouth, it sweetens the
breath, and the Magnesia cleans the teeth from
tartar
The solution is almost invariably succeeded In
