The second call made by Secretary
Folger for fl5, COO, 600 three per cents,
making total of S3O,OOOOOO of this
class called in for redemption, has oc
casioned considerable comment in
financial circles aud it ha a had the
effect OF lessening the opeu market
value Of the IS, while the As and 4ls
have advanced A prominent New
York fnanc,er, Mr.. A S Hatch offers
the following remarks on this subject.
The three per cent loan is an auo
maly-such loan as no individual or
corporation or municipality or nation
ever had before, with the minimum
rate Of interest and the option OF
letting it run thousand years or pays
ing it any day. So long as the coun-
try is to owe any money at all, such a
debt should, on business principles, be
the last one paid. II would have
been better policy tor the government
to pay off its long bonds than t. call
in its threes. Rapid redemption Of the
latter must be regarded as undesirable
aud the fact that Secrctiry Folger has
begun to call them in will probably
stimulate Congress whom it meets,
to take measures to bring the
revenues down 10 40 appro Gima>
ton to tue wants of the
governm snt for current expenses and
sinking funds In fact, the calling Of
these bonds will necessarily be one Of
the strongestpOssible arguments urged
in favor OF further reductions. Viii.
liam Dowd, President OF the Bank oil
North America, says that his plan to
obviate the difficulty that would arts,
from a general surrender of circulation
by national banks is Tor he governs
ment to declare ten or twelve hundred
millions of the national debt perma
nent, like that of England, and ther
adjust its income to the cons quen
condition Of things"
The reduction Of the public deb
for the fiscal year ending june 3Otl
last was $l37 1923 .253 and this reduc
tion secured a permanent annual re-
duction in the interest charge OF s.,
923, 4Ol. At the time OF the highes
point OF the national debt in August
1865 the annual interest charge wal
1851 100000. The annual iuteres
charge this year is SOL, 436,709, a re
duclion in Is yeaIs of nearly 800,
