ANNIHILATED CURRENCY
A NEW WAY OF SWELLING UNCLE
SANS ASSETS.
The Depletion of tho Treasury Closed
Over by n Showing That the SgO,-
100000 of Paper Money Is
Past Redemption.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 In all recently
written about the depleted condition Of
the United States treasury, little or no
account has been taken of the fact that
with each passing year the treasury is a
large gamer by the complete destruction
by casualty of its outstanding obliga-
tions. How much this amounts to the
best statisticians OF the treasury depart
ment have no means of definitely ascer-
tanning. No two sets of figures are
alike. Since 1862, when the government
began the Issue of paper money, $5.Sl9,-
629. 1OS was issued up to July
1, 1892. Within the same period
s4 S52, ,45l ,629 was redeemed, leaving
outstanding on July l, 1892. as liability
against the government, 1867, III ,479.
In an exhaustive inquiry on the subject
made by United States Treasurer Hyatt,
it was estimated that the aggregate loss
on all Issues up to January, 1883, was
not less than SIS, 100000. This estimate
did not include fractional currency, the
SO cent, 25-cent, 10 cent and cent 'shin
plasters," in such extensive circu-
lation for few years following
the war. United States Treas
urer Nebecker, in his report this
year, states that more than $15,000,000
OF this fractional currency ia outstand
ing, though it has practically gone out
of circulation, and but little more than
$4,000 was presented for redemption last
year. What is outstanding is held to g
great extent by collectors of coin, and
its value as such is greater than it's face
value. The aggregate United States
currency, fractional and other
wise, estimated to have been de-
stroyed and not likely to be presented
for redemption, approximates by these
figures more than $14, 100000. A recent
estimate prepared in the treasury de-
partment places the sum as high $780,
000,O00. The money can only be taken
out of the liabilities of the government
by congressional enactment. This will
probably be attempted in the near
future

the expiration of his term

AN ARmoR PLArs PLANE.
Ono VIII Probably Be Established ut
San Francisco.

One VIII Probably Be Established 1T
San Francisco.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Pacific
coast is to have an armor plate plant,
according to local paper. The story is
as follows: 1t is stated on reliable au-
thority that concern has been incor-
porated at San Francisco, and has half
of its working capital already sub
scribed, for the establishment of an
armor plate factory in that city. The
plant, it is understood, will be capable
of producing not only the heaviest
armor, but will be equipped for the
manufacture OF guns, shot and shells
and heavy forgings of all descriptions.
The project will be the result OF
the policy of distribution which is OBJ
served by the navy department in
awarding the contracts for the ships OF
the new navy. at present every gun and
projectile which is used in the navy is
manufactured in eastern states, and
the cost of transporting them to the
western coast is an item of no little i'm
portance. 1t is pretty generally con-
ceded, however, that the carrying out
of the project will be largely affected by
the awards for the construction of two
new vessels, the Iowa and the Brook
lyn. The Cramps of Philadelphia rre
the lowest bidders ON both ships, and
in the event that the Union Iron works
fail to get one OF them, it is highly
probable that the manufacture of
armor plates on the coast will be de-
ferred. Secretary Tracy's decision in
regard to the award for the new ships
will probably be made early next week.
In the meantime the indications are
that the Cramps will get both vessels.
There is some talk to the effect that the
Union Iron works will lower their bid
on the Brooklyn to the amount made by
the Cramps. 1t is safe to predict that
if such step is decided upon by the
San Francisco firm, the Brooklyn will be
launched in the Pacific.

personal work of Mr.. DENT, who ia

COUNTY.
