their views on spectators. The OPEN
ing OF the Exchange this morning fssnd
the tone Of speculation weak and fever
ish, with decidedly more sellers than
buyers. Several of the large operators
essayed to hold prices up, but the out
pour OF stock was so steady that they
soon had 10 retreat from their position.
The principal weakness was in the coal

Shortly after the opening Of business
rumors were circulated OF further trou-

are in circulation as to the cause Of c.

Some of the Directors who we're present
at the Board meeting yesterday says that
Mr., Baldwin confessed to abstracling
about S750,000 of the Company's mon
ey and securities in order 10 meet his
losses in specslation Another version,
told by Baldwin's friends, is that be
bulled the stock entirely in the interest OF
the company's reputation. 1t is, how
ever, illegal for q corporation to use its
own funds to sustain its stock. Esti-
mates OF the total loss run from $780,

AN issue not to be oyerIooked.

There is we'll defined issue between
the Democratic and Republican parties
on the question of the ayment OF the
National debt. The policy of the Re
publicans is 10 perpctua!e the debt, while
The Democrats Insist that it should be
paid. On this Issue, the Democrats have
decldedly the advantage.
On the first of the present month oil
May there were outstanding bonds sub
iect to call amounting to 254 millions
There was on the ssme day in the Treas
ury, over and above all Treasury obi.
gstions, ihe sum Of 15A millions. No
good reason can be shown why at leas,
I0e millions of that sum ought not to
be applied.to the extinction OF lOe mill
ions of bonds.
The effect Of paying of this 254 mill.
ieIs of Naiioaab debt, which the Gov.
erument has the right now to call foI
payment, will be to improve the selling
prices OF that part Of the National debl
which is not subject to call. would sci
business going throughout the country
and would make aa immediate market
for labor and every thing else.
In short. it is OF the utmost impor-
tance to pay of the National debt az
fast as possible With the present reve.
nues. To allow large surplus to ac'
eunulate, as has been done, is against
the simplest principles of economy and
contrary to the pIainest common sense
1t is like the case of an individual, who
being largely in debt, allows his surplus
income TO lie idle instead OF applying i
TO discharge an o7er dse, interest bear
ing Indebtedness.
A writer in late number Of the ban
kers Magazine, IN an able article on the
advantages Of paying the Nstiona
debt" SAYS, s.that it is as true in publi'
as in private affairs that debt and ex
sraysgauce are twin brothers, and tina
the same thrift which induces the reduc
tion OF interest bearing liabilities, tend
naturally TO dictate economy in expen
djture. # is borrowing Government
and individuals who, as o rule are th
most profuse and reckless in outlay. n
And, in conclusion. be says. at is tru
that experience verifies what philosoph,
teaches, that the steady reduction o
debts by G ,vernments tends to eeono
my in administration. whereas runnini
into debt and perpetuating debt botl
end 10 extravaganza"
