VIcE-PREsIDENr STEVENSON is now on
his way to Los Angeles, and will arrive
here Friday. 1t would not do for the
people of this city not to make prepara-
tions to give this distinguished gentls-
man, who, next to the president, is the
most exalted dignitary in the nation.
a reception that will reflect as much
honor upon ourselves as upon the high
official himself. We esteem Mr.. Steven
son one of the foremost men OF our
nation, not because of the great place he
holds, and to which he has been chosen
by the people, but because of his high
character, his exceptional ability, and
the fact that his temperament and in
stincts mark him as the truest type
of the American. His sympathies
and his entire nature place him con-
spicuously in line with the feelings and
aspirations of the American people. In
addition to the fact that he is one Of
our ablest statesmen, he is the embodi-
ment of the progressive spirit of the
great west, and is the forerunner of
line of public men whose broad and
liberal views and purely American SEN
timents are destined to hereafter exer-
else paramount influence in the policy
and destinies of the republic. We can
not afford to permit go representative a
man to enter our gates without extend
ing to him the greetings and hospitali-
ties of our city in full measure. Let the
leading organized bodies of our city,
commercial and political, arrange for
him such welcome as will do credit to
ourselves and to him.

Mr.. Frank Conant, who for many
years was treasurer Of the opera house
of this city, but who has been in the
east since last August, returned yester-
day to spend few weeks Of his vacation
with his relatives and many friends.
Mr.. Co1ant has been the manager Of
the Bostonians' Robin Hood opera COM
psnys and has been phenomsnally sue
cessful. He had 81 people in his COM
pany. and on their tour travelled 1S.946
miles without any mishsp, doing uni
formly excellent business.
Mr.. Conant met Manager Wyatt IN
New York, and states that bic bookings
for the Los Angeles theater insure the
most brilliant theatrical season ever
known hereabouts.
The long travel Mr.. Conant has ex-
perienced, has entirely restored his
health, which was slightly impaired
and he is now robust. He is delighted
to return and is OF the opinion that New
York is the only city which at all rivals
the attractions of Los Angeles.

Total in seven s54 1856, Il

As can be seen by the above table. In the last
| four years after the war was closed the Gov
eminent issued $1.25l .473, 900, or $64S 81 $50
| more than during the three previous years. Do
| you think those bonds were issued to borrow
| money to carry on the war; The war closed
| in the Spring Of 1865.
Z. ]. SpauldinE. in his financial history of
| the war; says: "After the surrender of the
| rebel armies to Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman,
| the volunteer army was mustered out of the
service, and had to be paid in full. Secretary
McCulloch obtained the means to pay them
chiefly by the issue of 100 Treasury notes
The amount required for that purpose Was
very large, and the amount of these notes out
standing in October. 1865. was $500000,000
which were by law expressly fundable within
| three years into six percent. gold bonds. The
right to fund them WAS not abrogated, and
within three years they were all taken off the
market and funded in those bonds"
This shows conclusively how Treasury notes
reenbacks) may be retired from circulation
by an efficient system of funding. The green
backs would have been funded in the same way
If the original contract for funding them had
not been abrogated. The $3.50, 100000 of 7-30
Treasury notes were q legal tender much as
was greenbacks, the only difference being that
the 7-30s drew interest, while the greenbacks
did not. We need no other proof that the
bonds were not issued to borrow money, but to
fund the money already issued and paid out by
the Government
Another proof is. do you for q moment be-
lieve that any necessity existed for the Govern
ment to issue bonds to borrow money to burn
up? In George S. Boutwelrs report for 1872.
on page 297, he says the face value of money
destroyed from 1862 10 1S72-10 years-was
81, sos, 3l4 1850. In place of this money, Gov
eminent bonds were issued. 1t was called
funding, not borrowing. The fact is. the peo-
pie have been taxed to pay interest to bond
holders on the ashes of money burned up, to
the turn of nearly. as The TRIBUNE says, five
billion dollars. Did it ever occur to any Of you
old veterans that all this bond business was
solely for the benefit of the bondholders?

ITO attempt to answer this question posi-
lively would be to provoke far-reaching con-
troversy; for there were great many organiza-
tions mustered in about the same time. We
presume that the honor can be fairly claimed
for the District Of Columbia volunteers, who
were mustered in as early as the 9Th of April,
when 1t was finally determined that the rebels
would open fire on Fort Sumter. Objection
will be made to this that they do not tech

Bondholder VS.. Veteran.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t seems to
me the great cry against paying pensions is
raised to divert the attention Of the people
from a greater question. viz, the bond and
money question. 1t is generally believed by a
large number of persons that Government
bonds were issued to borrow money to pay the
soldiers. and for supplies. AS matter of his.
tory and fact this WAS not true. In proof,
first. the greenback was issued and paid to the
soldiers by the Government. Now, it is fair
question to ask that if the Government made
the greenback and paid it to the soldier, of
whom did it borrow it?
Another proof is that there were more bonds
issued after the war was closed, and the Gov
eminent obligations paid than during the war.
As proof the following table taken from the
renort of the SECRETARY of the Treasury:
