BUYING BONDS ATLAST

On Saturday morning The TRIBUNE stated
that Secretary Folger would soon be COM
PEELED to adopt some new mode of putting out
the surplus revenue AT noon on the same
day, the Secretary issued an order to buy
$4,000, 900 of 3l2 per cent bonds, having at
last opened his eyes to the necessity which
has been pointed out to him for several
months. 1t is not very creditable to the Sec
rotary that be attempts to disguise an order
TO buy bonds at premium under the form of
prepdying interest on bonds which he takes
care not to call, but if his personal feelings
are satisfied by the evasve form it does not
matter to anybody else. The thing done is
what has been urged for a long time, except
ing that the Secretary has chosen the most
awkward and the least sure method of making
the desired purchases. The Immediate effect
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-11-29

of the order upon the money marker was VII
couraging, but not many bonds were ouereo
on Saturday, and it il barely possible that tue
il-adyised method chosen by the Secretary
may, at this late day, lead to partial failure
of his efforts.
II has been urged for a long time by HE
TRIBUNE and by other journals that the sec
re.ary could apply just the amount OF the real
lied surplus and no more, and just at the lluie
desired, in only one way namely, by inviting
offers to sell bonds of the various classes
and purcl asng those which could be bought
on the best terms. Probably large offers womb
have been made at liberal prices, had the
Secretary chosen this course last summer.
Whether large amount OF bonds will now DC
offered at the price which the Secretary names
is not so clear. Another session of Congress Is
close at hand. 1t is generally expected that
great reductions in revenue will he maze
early in the session. Possibly these reductions
may be so large that there will be left very
little money to apply to the redemption OF
bonds. In that case, the gig and 3 per cents
would have longer life, and would probably
command higher price in the market. Ii
holders anticipate this, they may not be IN
haste to sell at 1908 and interest when
higher price is already bid in open market.
Moreover, it is now evident that the
Secretary cannot with propriety issue
any other calls this year. OF the four
calls, 11Gth - 10th inclusive, about
$35, 900 are still outstanding, and the
order issued on Saturday also binds the Secre-
tary to take $1O,OOO,000 more before the
2Stb of February and $10,OO0O00 on that
a. 1, ,fofra 70
$4,000, 900 more than have already been
presented during the current fiscal year. This
would make about $4,000, 900 for the year,
and it was not expected that the surplus for
the year would exceed about 800, OOO,OOO
when the last session Of Congress closed. But
if calls for bonds must now be discontinued,
the 312 per cents are likely to be held Tor
higher prices.
How far the efforts of the Secretary may
thus be defeated by his delay in adopting
rational course will become apparent this
week. The pressure in the money market Is
so great that bonds in large amount might be
presented, if they were held or obtainable at
the monetary centres But the 3l2 per cents
are not generally so held. and bids for them
altogether above the price which the Treasury
offers were made on Saturday without much
result Having expended the ammunition by
which he might have pushed holders to sell at
low rates-namely, the power to call
$1O0,OOO,OO0 of 3l2 per cents-the Secretary
has now to learn whether spectators will see
fit to put up the price on him when he at
tempts to buy. That Will depend mainly on
the state of their speculative interests. If
they want money tight, they may get posses
sion of bonds and raise the price of them in
order to prevent sales of them to the Treas
ury. But the control over the monetary situa-
ton, which the Secretary formerly held, he
has nearly, if not wholly, lost.

reduced. IF Congress does this in such way
as to offend some people and please Others that
will at least he better than doing nothing, ana
thus offending all people. The country believes
that the tariff needs revision and improvements
Part of the people will be offended if Congress
does one thing, and part if it does another. ont
all will he disguised if it refuses to do any
thing. The people do desire a genuine I'M
movement of the Civil Service. An honest
effort in that direction will offend minority
but it will be respected by majority
of the people. In short, if the Republicans DO
not want to disgrace and defeat their party
they will take care that the Democrats are not
permitted to make this Do-Nothng Congress-
