THE EXPENSIVE GREENBACK.

The only argument heard In favor of the
greenbacks is that they constitute nom
interest-bearing debt and save the people
certain amount Of taxation. There is
some sentiment in favor of them connected
with the war but the one argument cited
to sustain their existence is that the gov
ernment saves the interest on $346 600 900 of
debt by keeping the greenbacks i'm use as
money.
1t is not true that the circulation of the
greenbacks saves the interest on S3466QO, 600
of debt When specie payments were
sumed Jan. l, 1879, s95.5OO,OOO of 4 per cent.
gold bonds were sold in order to create a
revenue for the redemption of the green
backs. Enough gold was taken from the
treasury to make the reserve an even
lO0.000O00. The reserve was kept up with
this issue of bonds until Mr.. Cleveland be-
came President. Since that time s262 OOO. 900
of bonds have been sold to keep up the re-
serve necessary to redeem the greenbacks
brought to the treasury. 1t makes no diff
ference that the most of the money derived
from the sale of bonds has been used to de-
fray the current expenses of the govern
ment. IL the greenbacks had not been
in existence the revenues would have been
increased to pay the charges of the gov
ernment. Even II it had been necessary to
borrow money to make good the deposits,
it could have been obtained on short-time
notes at low rate Of interest
The expense of the greenbacks may be
stated as follows: Bonds sold to float the
greenbacks. 1857 7.sl5 400; interest on the
same 45.14o; principal OF the notes.
ss4e. .ss1. .016-total cost and liability $685. AL
562. IL the greenbacks had been funded
JAN 1. 1879. into thirty-year per cent
bonds the principal and interest would have
amounted to s74l. .S97. $40. or s214.o44. .222 less
than they will cost under the present sys-
tenn. Thus II Is demonstrated that the
keeping of the Misunderstanding green
backs in circulation is anything but a good
financial policy. 1t will cost per cent
interest.

The civil-service law was passed while Mr..
Arthur was President. and he appointed the
first Civil-service Commission. During his
term President Arthur put 1.649 offices un-
der the civil service rules. and his COM
mission put 1924 in the classified service
so that when Mr.. Cleveland entered upon
his first term ne found 1858 places filled
by the new law. BY the end of Mr.. Cleve-
lands first term there were o. $50 civil serv-
ice positions. When General Harrisons
term was closed 42.s2S places were under
the civil-service law. During the last part of
his second term Mr.. Cleveland has so wide
ly extended the civil service that s.. 299 places
are under the merit system. or this large
number all but ISL must submit to exami-

ANTI-SPANIsH SENTIMENT.

When war condescends TO murder a duty
appears that rises above the obligations
Of treaties and neutrality laws. and this is
a duty that no American. however keenly
he may desire peace with honor would
wish the government to shirk.-Chicago
Times Herald
About three centuries ago the Spanish
idea of disposng of a Dutch leader who
revolted from Spanish tyranny was to get
him assassinated. Spain seems TO be the
one country that has not progressed much
since the days of William of Orange and
Philip Of Spain.-Pittsburg Dispatch
There is little doubt that extreme meas
in the present state of the American
public mind would receive an enthusiastic
Endorsement. but the part of wisdom and
patriotism Is no less apparent. Ii Is al
ways safe TO wait for the judgment Of the
sober second thought.-Chicago Chronicle.
Should the reported assassination OF
General Maceo by the Spaniards while he

If Spain is not carrying on civilized

ity.-Louisville Times.
Congress should no longer hesitate, but
act at once. 1t is useless to wait for the
President to act in a case of sympathy.
He is not built that way. The American
people. however, have sympathy for all
