we think our contemporary is little
premature in blooming" the affair
while the men now squatting on the

We wonder how much actual coin
there is in the Government vaults.
Is it ever examined and hand count
ed, or is it only occasionally "hefted"
and guessed at? A cash balance on
paper and one sin sight" are two en-
tirely different propositions. With
out intimating evil or even suspect
ing anything unpleasant. it would
not be objected to by the taxpayers
if an actual count was made by a
committee of three prominent COM
mercial citizens unconnected with
the Government in any official capa-
city, and an official report made of
the result. Many, we learn, would
like to have straightforward bust
ness statement of show we stand"
presented as soon as possible, for
there appears to be an impression,
probably erroneous, that we are not
as wealthy as we appear to be.
