To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every of General Grants admirers and
especially old and every young soldier should
know that in his first inaugural address he said
March T. 1863: ITO protect the National honor
every dollar of Government indebtedness should
be paid in gold and repudiator of one farthing
of public debt will be trusted in public place"
Evidently We're threatened then as by
a financial system formulated by a set of cheap
politicians, whose patriotism superficial as
their knowledge of finance and craftsmanship. The
old commander had saved the Union from dissolu-
tion, but this time he proposed to it from
disgrace by paying the Government debt in round

Isitany wonder that Secretary Gage
sees nothing wrong In the little custom
house transaction with the National
City bank, OF New York; The govern
ment sold the old custom house to the
National City bank for 80, $50, 600, much
less, by the way, than il was worth in
the market. The bank paid down 49,
200, 900, aud the government holds the
deed until the other $50, 900 is paid.
Now by this simple cxpedient the
bank escapes taxation on The property.
The deal was made last July, but the
government is still shielding the bank
from taxation. II is also said that the
government is paying the bank interest
on the 81, 200 600 until such time as the
latter pays the odd $4,000 and gets its
deed.
II is fact, however, that the money
never left the vaults Of the National
City bank, but was left there as a "de-
poait." IL is also fact that the bank
was given immediate possession OF the
property and has been collecting the
rents since the deal WAS first made.
Now figure out how many different
kinds Of a good business proposition
that is--ior the National City:bank-and
you will see one OF the reasons why
there is prejudice In certain quarters
against all banks.
