FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
lBY TELEGRAPu TO THE TRIBUNE. !

WASHINGTON. April 1.-Among the strongest
arguments in favor OF four and half per cent
short time bond as against long four per cent.
brought TO the attention of the Secretary OF the
Treasury by those whom he consulted was the fact
--made very plain during the recent discussion
upon the Refundng bill-thSt considerable ma
iority in Congress was opposed 10 making any bond
which should not be redeemable within few years.
Now that it is found that saving can be effected
by the sale of one hundred and four millions of the
funded loan bonds is clear that the first question
to be decided is which of the two classes open TO
the Secretarys choice will be most advantageous TO
self
The fours. il issned cannot be redeemed except by
purchase until 1907. before which year the entire
bonded debt OF the Government will have been re-
deemed aud cancelled through tho operations of the
Sinking Fund. On the other hand the four aud
half per cent bonds can be issued to become re-
deemabc in ten years. Lest the apparently greater
interest," should be considered objection, It may
be mentioned that the total interest would aggre-
gate only about $40 OGO. OU0 while the fonrs would
cost In interest not less than SlOi.OOO,0OO. Com
putatiOns made to-day show that four aud hall
per cents and iOurs at present prices yield 10 the
investor 800 and $50 per cent psr anhuln. FROM
this ii appears that the higher rate bond actually
costs less % the Government IN interest but ~
nearest IN conformity 10 the Governments present
policy OF keeping the debt within It's control.
