Secretary Window deserves the graf
itude and thanks of the great mass Of
American people for his just, bold and
decided act in notifying the holders OF
the bonds of the United States, due
1881, that they could receive the money
in payment or might have the privilege
of taking other bonds in lieu therefor,
bearings l2 per cent. interest This
is a saving of nearly one hundred per
cent interest to the people, besides re-
buking the trucking subserviency OF
the late President Hayes for vetoins
legislative action on this subject. The
Secretary may have transcribed his
official authority in assuming TO fix
rate of interest, but he is the jury to de
eide between the bondholders and the
taxpayers, and as the Judge instructs II
the jury has doubts it shall give the
benefit Of the doubt 10 the afflicted; SO
we say amen 20 The verdict.
