THE DEBT and rHE CIRCULATION.


The debt statement for September ! shows
but little change of Importance, excepting in
the amounts and kind of money in the Treas
ury. The only change in the debt proper of
consequence is the increase in interest accrued.
As respects the cash. at present the most inter
esting feature of the statement, IL appears that
the Treasury has gained during the month
nearly 100000 in gold, though nearly
5000, 900 in certificates have been put ont. 80
that the net gain in gold has been $293, $3.50 60.
The Treasury has been fortunate in placing
an unusual proportion of the new silver dollars
coined SO that the amount Of silver in the
Treasury has increased only about $4,000,
while the amount of silver certificates outstand-
ing has decreased 81 $40. Thus the
amount of silver owned has increased during
the month ~ .96S, 49, 80. AS respects the
legal tenders, in which the greatest change has
been made. it appears that the Treasury holds
in excess of outstanding certificates
81, 70l,65 20 more than it did on the 1st of
August. OF fractional currency, which the
Treasury and the banks have made txtraordi-
nary efforts to thrust into circulation, il appears
that the amount in the Treasury has diminished
only S630,733.
These statements show that the condition Of
the Treasury has improved during the past
month and they also show something more
They prove that there was not the slightest
necessity for getting into panic about the loss
of gold, aud appealing to the banks with a
threat that payments of silver would soon be
necessary unless they came to the rescue. The
Treasury clearly misapprehen dcd its own
powers, or for political reasons found it con-
vcnient to represent them as being far less than
they were. The amount of gold in the Treas
ury exclusive of the amount borrowed from the
banks, is little larger than it was two months
ago. The Treasury has succeeded, as It was
long ago predicted that il would succeed, in
cutting down the receipt of silver certificates at
the Custom. House, and thus increasing the re-
cepts of gold, and in this judIcous measure
it has not been aided bat only very much
hindered by the panic-stricken appeal to the
banks and the announcement which went out TO
the country that payments in silver could only
be averted by extraordinary measures. During
the past two months tho Secretary has sue
ceeded in calling in $5,45l $50 of the silver
certificates outstandi ng, and has also increased
the amount Of silver dollars in actual circua-
I ton by S2,905,S97 out of about 81, 347, 900
coined. But it has succeeded in putting out
the silver dollars, TSl3,l6l in July and
S2,092,733 i'll August, mainly by refusing TO
issue the one and two dollar bills and loclSn Z
up in the Treasury as many OF those outstand-
ing as possible, and this policy, however wise
| 1t may be, will be found 50 decidedly unpopular

In his talk to the farmers at Ballston Spa
yesterday, Senator Warner Miller had many
complimentary things 10 say Of the dignity and
importance of agriculture. But he made
one slight mistake. Science has not yet found
ont way of making butter. Oleomarganne
may be fair imitation, but it is not genuine
butter, and, of course, never can be. Mir. Miller
said also welt deserved word for the agricult-
ural press.

A glimpse at the views of Republicans in
Oneida County, all tending to harmony and
unity is afforded by the letter of a correspond
ent from Utica printed in this issue of The
TRIBUNE. There is no capitalization yet on
any particular candidate for Governor, but the
impression seems to be general that Republic
cans of every shade of opinion will rally
round any frst-class man, and elect him.

Mr.. Gladstone thinks that for man VINO
ordinarily measures his words, Mr.. Parncil
made fool of himself when he proclaimed
that Scotland lost its nationality after the
Union. Mr. Parnel, on his side, considers the
London editors fat-witted when they forecast
union of Liberals and Tories in opposition to
the Irish party. Mr.. Gladstone's distinction
between the loss and the blending OF nation
alties is not one over which Mr. Parnell Will
care to split hairs. The Irish leaders idea OF
nationality implies nothing less than separation
from England in the last resort, although legis-
latve independence marks an intermediate
stage. A political union between Liberals and
Tories in his estimation would bear no resem-
blance to the incorporation OF Scotland IN
England, but would be an unnatural ana
artificial alliance, such as he regards the bond
between England and Ireland.

Advices from Panama show the disadvan-
tage of having an Administration at " ashing-
ton that is indifferent to the convenience and
business interests of the public. The mails
from San Francisco and New York are greatly
delayed. although the American steamships
are arriving promptly on each side of the 18TH
mus. The Government, having withheld from
the Pacific Mail Company the money which
Congress plainly intended for it, is forced to
send the mails by roundabout way under the
British flag This phase of Administrative re-
form does not commend itself TO the intelli-
gencc OF practical business community.
