WHAT IS A BILLION DOLLARS

The Mercantile and Financial
Times has taken the trouble to
give a detail account of what is
meant by the statement that the
last congress expended 81 .OOO,-
900, 900. This is a round sum
and a large one, but it is SO east
ly. said that the words which ex-
press it do not convey to the
mind any adequate idea of the
vastness of the amount. For
this reason, The Times picks it
to pieces and presents it in vari-
Gus lights.
Exclusive of interest-$1 900,
900, OOO-the amount which the
republican congress has expend-
ed, would give 5,481 families OF
four person $40 a week for fifty
years. If loaned out at 6 cent it
would give a return of IS, OOO,-
600 a year. One billion dollars
in silver would weigh nearly
10000, 900 pounds.
1t would buy gowns for all the
women in the civilized world and
shoes for 5OO,OOO,OOO homeless
children. 1t would pay for the
education of 100000 children
from the kindergarten through
college, and a city lot apiece for
SO, 900, 900 persons.
If a man with this immense
sum desired to throw it away 81
at a time, he would lin trouble
His task would keep him busy
for 42S years. If he were to at
tempt to burn ST, 100000, OOO
in paper money, ST. at a time, he
would complete his task, by
working night. and day, at the
end of II, $40 years.
These figures show what the
Reed and Harrison congress has
done for the taxpa yers.-Atlanta
Constitution.

Ward McAllister, who met a
Waterloo in attempting to write
a book about the doings of the
400, is now drumming the sale
of liquors, and his present litera-
ry efforts are expended in putting
certain brands of wine.
To say the least Ward McAllis-
ter is a socialhumbug, a man-mon-
key who through the course
of evolution has worn off his
caudal appendage but has not
sufficient intelligence to have dis
covered the fact that there are
thousands of others in the world
who are equally fortunate.
McAllister made himself the
leader of the 400 and he was a
very appropriate leader of this
set of flippant frothy self con-
ceited society cranks, whose
most exalted merit existed in
whatever their taylons or man.
tua makers could make out OF
them.
Intellectual and moral worth is
not written in the catalogue of
their proficiencys. These are not
only overlook but entirely ignor-
ed as not nescesary in the make up
of and ideal lady or gentleman.
Society, as it should be, is all
right, but the usual passpost in
to most of it's restricted circles
is not the qualification that dis
tinguish true gentleman and true
ladies. Insane egotism is the
important requisit.

TARIFF TINkERING.

Congressman Coombs of Brooklyn, n. Z.
proposes to enter upon the business of tariff
tinkering as soon as Congress meets He
has already prepared an outline of tariff
bill which he will ask Congress to direct
the Committee of Ways and Means to adopt.
The tlrst schedule of the CoOmbs bill is at
variance with the principle of the present
tariff. The last Ways and Means Commit
tee recognized the right of the producers OF
raw material to protection as well as the
producers of finished goods. The Brooklyn
tinker proposes to put on the free list all ar
ticles necessary to the manufacture of
goods. This, of course would include wool,
coal and iron ore. The producers of such
articles will be compelled 10 work in di-
rect competition with foreign producers. but
the producers of finished goods are to have
a degree OF protection against foreign COM
petition. The apparent purpose of this
tinkering is to carry some of the New En-
gland States in the coming Presidential
election. New England is elamoring for
free raw material, while claiming the right
of protection against foreign comp etitiOn.

NEWS FROM BROAD.

In reference to a rumor that the Charles
ton would capture the Hawaiian Islands on
its return trip from China the Vancouver
Telegram says:
There is no doubt at all about American de
signs on Hawaii. The American element there Is
Intriguing TO bring about annexation, and their
schemes are iooSed upon fayorably in the United
States.
1t is well sometimes to have doubtful
questions settled by an authority from, which
there can be no appeal. In this country
there is much doubt as to American designs
upon the Hawaiian Islands. While annex
alton would be accepted as an alternative of
the islands falling under British control.
there is general conviction that there
should be radical change in the character
of the people of the islands before they
should become State in the Union. Brit
sh Columbia would be a much more ac-
ceptable acquisition than the Hawaiian
Islands

CASH IN THE TREASURY.

The condition of the Treasury does not
seem to warrant the predictions that have
been made by anti-Administration organs.
The New York Herald not long since
showed to its own satisfaction that the con-
dition'of the Treasury would compel the
restoration of duties on sugar and perhaps
other articles that are ROW admitted free.
That journal figures the cash balance as low
as S5,000000, with reasonable certainty of
a further reduction. 1t appears from the
December report that the Herald had drawn
on its imagination for its figures. The
Sl00, 000,000 set apart for the redemption of
greenbacks remains untouched, and there
is besides $50, 126,9 17 in the Treasury. The
debt reduction for the month of November
was but Sj4j.000 President Cleveland made
one disastrous Presidential campaign on
the perils of surplus. His friends now
seem inclined to make one on the perils OF
deficit. But as long as there is Sl39 900, 900
in the Treasury, with revenues about equal
to expenditures, the deficit campaign is not
likely to turn out better than the surplus
campaign.

WHERE THE POWER LIES.

The present State Constitution is about
eleven years old, but some of the questions
raised by its adoption are as yet unsettled.
1t is disputed question whether the ap-
pOintment of Fire Commissioner lies in the
hands OF the Governor or of the Board of
Supervisors. The question is the more
difficult Of final settlement as nothing seems
to be tinal in the department. The fact of
man being appointed by the Governor
does not restrain him from cOntending that
the power of appointment lies with the
Supervisors. For example, seine years ago
Commissioner Parsons accepted the Office
at the hands OF Governor Waterman, and
went to court to secure confirmation Of his
right to the office. While the case is still
pending in the Supreme Court. Mr.. Par
sons now proposes TO fight for the right of
the Supervisors to appoint. Apparently the
power 10 appoint is supposed to lie In the
quarter that will make the worst use of it.

UNRELIABLE NEwsPAPERs.

TIL CALL IS 10y no means surprised at
tie garbled accounts of the trial OF White,
which is taking Place in one of the city
courts, given by two or three of the city
papers. They have not even published the
two confessions of White. The object has
appeared to be to deceive the public as to
portions Of even tie testimony which has
been given. This effort to falsify does not
injure The CALL, but rather upon the con-
trnTy il tends TO convince the public that it
is necessary 70 read The CALL in order to
obtain correct Information upon almost any
subject which is trauspiring in the city.

LENDING SILVER.

1t is stated that the Bank of France has
entered into an engagement to lend Russia
ga, 0Oo, 900 in silver for ten years at 81 per
cent, payment to be made in gold. At the
first glance it seems as if this would be a
dear loan for Russia. But if at the explra-
ton of seven years silver should be at
parity with gold. the obligation to pay in
gold would occasion no loss to Russia If
such an ag reemeut has been entered into. it
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-12-03

is a part of Russas reported policy of pur-
chasing silver enough to resume specie pay
ments on silver basis. The London banks
do not credit the report, but still it is quite
likely to be true. The Bank of France has
four times the amount of silver reported as
loaned lying idle, and is possibly willing to
aid scheme to put silver in circulation.
The United States, France and Russia could
restore silver to its old ratio with gold in
less than seven years
