THE REDUCTION OF THE DEBT.

THE REDUCTION OF THE DEBT.
The following letter written to the
Chicago Current and the Currents re-
| ply thereto, are so directly in the line
of arguments We have had with a mum.
Der of recent callers that we feel justi.
fed in giving it place in our columns
QUINCY, MICHIGAN, May 20, 1856.
EDITORS OF THE CURRENT:
When bantering some prominent democrats
because their secretary of the treasury does moi
''reduce the surplus in the treasury" as they
promised to do before the last election, and as
you now 50 ably advocate, / am met with the
reply that there are no bonds becoming due
faster than he pays them, and they give that as
a special reason for the four million call, be-
cause that is all that he can pay now. Having
no figures at hand, would be glad If you would
give the facts In the case. CIV BENNETT.
The gentlemen who answered Mr..
Bennett were unqualifiedly wrong.
There were originally something over
$500, OOO, 900 of the per cent bonds,
payable on call. The banks were the
first purchasers and got early numbers.
The secretary calls the high numbers
first. Thus the first subscribers secured
the longest loan. Redemption of these
call bonds began promptly, September
10, 1888. In the following year Mr.. Fol-
ger called no less than SllO, OOO,O 600 OF
them. This left, we think, S194 500,
600 at the death of Mr.. Folger. OF
these it was understood that the banks
held $155, 629, 400, or over three-fourths,
but probably all in low numbers. 1t
was then understood in financial Cir
cles that the last per cent bond would
be called in June, lSS6-NOw. 1t will
be remembered that the calamity OF
McCulioch's appointment then fell up
on the country. He was a republican,
so Mr.. Bennett must not chide his
democratic friends over-roughly. From
the date of McCullOch's appointment in
September, 1884, until February, 1856,
there was no reduction of the public
debt. On the last day of 1885, howev-
er, the secretary, to save the mark,
called $40, OO0, 900 for payment Febru-
airy l, 1856. He has since called 1884,
00O, 900 more, but the debt statement
shows a slow redemption, and it is
quite safe to say that no bOnd-call has
cut deeply into the $l55 ,00O, 900 of early
per cents. FOlger called lO,OOO, 600
in twelve months; McCulloch called
nothing; McCulloch and Manning have
let twenty months go by and have
called S4, 100000. Nobody who is not
q knave at heart can deny that every
cent of 3 per cent interest we pay from
now forth is total waste Of public
The amount beside the past
waste, is 81, SOC, 600 year, or over $751;
600 a week, or over 81, 500 a day of in
terest given to the holders of bonds
which can be paid by stroke Of the
pen. The statement is so
appalling that it sounds incredible to
honest ears. but the Current has reiter-
ated the facts in the case for eighteen
ard has never heard a denial.
Each successive treasury statement
shows the truth. The surplus is now
S2SS, 600, 600. In few months niore it
sill equal one whole years taxes Of the
United States of America.

Nerdi's Spinet.

Verdi's inclination for music mani
tested itself at a very early age. An
old spinet is still preserved in his villa
at SAINT Agata, on which he practiced
when a child. The instrument bears q
curious inscription which shows the
date at which the great composer prac-
ticed OH it. The translation of the in.
scription, which is in Italian, Is worth
giving here: 'By me. Stevauo Cav

covered with leather for this irstrt.-

three years instruction the child had
made such rapid progress that he was

father, desiring TO give him a better
education than could be obtained In
his native village, sent him to the
neighboring town of BusSeto. Here.
after two years schooling, he obtained

important influence on his subsequent
fortunes. BareZzi was IN enthusiastic

Accorn1nn tn a Mrlier In a Fren

According to a writer in a French
industrial journal, the greatest inclin.
alton on any European railroad worked
by ordinary locomotives is on the two
miles between Enghein and Mont
morency, near Paris, being forty-fve
feet in the thousand, or an angle of
90 So. Grades Of thirty-lye feet to
the thousand, or two degrees, are
found on several roads. The grade of
the SInplon road, the highway over
the Alps with the least slope, is only
three degrees to the thousand, the
maximum slope that can be travelled
ON a highway being set down as 132, or
even and one-half degrees. The grades
on cable or cogwheel railways are of
course considerably greater; that OF the
road up the Swiss Rigi from Vitznau
is, in the steerest part, $50 to the
thousand, while the maximum on the
Mt. Washington Railway is estimated
at $50 and 375, this latter being the
steepest railway with a central-toothed
rail, and the steepest of any kind III
the world, except the cable road up
the cone of Mt. Vesuvius, which has
the extraordinary inclination of $50 to
the thousand.

FARM NOTES

PUMPKINS AMONG CONSTITUTIONAL
some farmers reject the long and
well-sustained practice of planting
pumpkin seed among corn, on the
ground that 1t detracts as much from
the corn product as in the profits 1t adds
to the stock of provender, still 1t is the
general method pursued to get a crop
Of pumpkins. Besides, from wi
experience and observation, we have
had and seen as good crops OF corn with
as without the pumpkins. 1t may APP
pear at first thought as If the land could
not sustain two full crops of anything (;
but this is not so in all cases. as in
those where the two cops do not require
the same manurial stimulants, mas
much as a portion at least that one will
take up will not be required by the
other. OF course, it requires very
good land to raise pumpkins; but even
in this case. though an extra crop of
manure may be needed to be applied to
the corn ground where pumpkins are to
be planted, there will be a saving in the
element Of time, and, instead Of n
crop from the land in a year, we gather
two, The objection that some make
that the vines shade the ground while
the ground requires all the heat it can
get, is not well founded, as the corn it.
self furnishes perfect shade without the
vines, which really can add little nor
to injure the crop. 1t is far prob
able that the directors to this double
crop who fail in getting all they want,

or negligent cultivation, aud wa sag-
gest that they should change their sys.
