The Currency.

On July l, 1889, the beginning of
the first fiscal year of Harrison's ad-
ministration, the public debt bearing
interest was $82O,853, 800, and the
annual interest was $685. 1852 ,354.6O.
Three years afterward, on July l.,
1891, the interest bearing debt was
S6l0.529,120, and the annual interest
S23,615, ,73S.80-a reduction of $780,
224,870 in the principal and Of sl0,-
1876, ,61S.80 in interest.
On July l, 1889, the non-interest-
bearing debt-that is, legal tender
notes, gold, silver and currency
ertiicates--was S7S7,2S7 ,446.97. On
the 1st of July, 1891, the non.inter-
est-bearing debt was 1898 1852, ,766.35
--an increase Of l46,565, 5,3l9.3S. In
other words there was an increase
of currency in those three years Of a
republican administration of $l46,-
565,319.3S, and a decrease of the
bonded debt of S2l0,224,S70.
Compare this with the first three
years of Cleveland's administration.
The bonded debt July 1, 1885, was
81 l,196, $50, $50, and on July l, 1888,
three years later, was 950,522,500

Knowing what You want to DO

Knowing What You want to Do.
BE sure you know what you can
do, and what you want to do, be-
fore you begin to seek employment.
Boys, as well as men, fail because
they work at something they do not
understand, or do not like. You
must not expect to find just the sort
of work you want without some
trouble or inconvenience.
"The difficulty with most boys
who present themselves for engage
ments in our stores," said promin-
ent wholesale grocer to me the
other day, ''is that they are totally
unprepared for the positions they
seek. They are looking for some
light employment, where the hours
are short, and the pay high, and
they profess to be willing to do any
thing that is wanted of them if the
labor will not soil their hands, and
they are unrestricted in their liber-
ties. They are apparently eager for
employment in our grocery house,
but they have given the
subject of our business no
thought before making application
for place they forget that in all
commercial houses the way to begin
is at the bottom, on small pay, with
prospect of rapid advancement if
the services rendered are valuable
to us. A boy seeking employment
with us should, first of all, have a
natural aptitude for the grocery bust
ness. You can see at once that if a
boys mind runs in other channels
the work would be distasteful to
him, and he would simply be doing
what he was told in a perfunctory
manner, hoping that something
would turn up in the business or
profession upon which his mind is
set. Such boys are of no value to
us; we want only those who are not
afraid to toll day and night, if neces-
sary, until they have established
their usefulness, or created place
for themselves. Once we find a boy
who is doing this, who is thougtful
Of our interests, who gives evidence
of business ability, and is strictly
honest and faithful, advancement is
rapid, and he may hope, in time, to
obtain any position in our employ
places worth having, with an annual
salary anywhere from twenty-five
hundred to twenty Thousand dollars
a year. It's a free field and no
favor. Every business house in the
country wants bright, Industrious,
and money-making boys and men,
but the boys must be willing to be-
gin at the very lowest rung of the
ladder, and carve out their own
fortunes. There are many men in
our stores who have not begun with
us, as boys, but have learned the
business elsewhere; but the MAORI
ty of our employees have been with
us since boyhood, and they are now
carrying on our vast business. One
man, who is now in very responsi.
BILE position here at twenty thousand
dollars a year, began fifteen years
ago at six dollars week. So you
can see there is plenty of opportuni
ty. If boy fails it is largely due
| to himself"
