She keeps the gift of years before
a withered violet is her Bliss:
She knows not what his greatness IS;
For what, for all, she loves him more.
For him she plays, to him she sings
OF earthly faith and plighted vows;
She knows but matters of the house;
And he-he knows a thousand things.
Her faith is fixed and cannot move;
She darby feels him great and wise;
She dwells on him with faithful eyes;
" cannot underestimate love-

j. 5. BOND Conversion
MAGNITUDE OF OUR FISCAL
OPERATIONS.
How the $1,000 100000 Debt of America
Has Been Reduced in the Rate Of
Interest Paid on 1t.

The last authorized bonds of the
United States are rapidly absorbing all
previous convertible issues, which in
clude all the issues except the As Of
1925, of which $162, 315.400 were issued in
1895 and 1896 These are thirty-year
bonds and for that reason were exempt
from the conversion rule. The next
bonds to become redeemable are the
SIS issued in 1S94-95 to replenish the gold
reserve. The amount sold for this pur
pose was 100000, 600. These are ten
year bonds and they are redeemable on
February 1, 1904 or three years from
next Frebruary. Long before that time
at the way they have disappeared dur
ing the past year by conversion into the
new 2 per cent bonds, they will have
been further reduced. These are the
only bonds on which the Government is
paying over 4 -er cent interest. The
amount of these bonds outstanding on
the 1st of November was $36506, $50
on November 16 the amount out was
less than $35,0OO,OOO.
The refunding- operations are also
rapidly absorbing the As of 1907 and the
3's of 1908. These will be the next bonds
to be redeemed after the SIS have been
taken in. The AS of 1907, it will be re-
membered, were part of a refunding
scheme originated in July 1870, and per-
fected in January 1871. At that time all
the bonded indebtedness of the Govern
ment amounting to $2,046, 455, 722, except
$50. $50, 600 in Navy Pension per cents,
was bearing and per cent interest

The refunding act of 1870 provided
for the issue of 81 600, 0000 600 in 5, Az and
per cent bonds. All the ana Az per
cents issued under that act have since
been redeemed or refunded, except 3d.,
255, 900 of the AIS extended in rs on
which interest ceased August A. 1900.
In all there were $740,9 300 of 4 per
cents issued under the refunding act of
July 1870 as amended in January, 1871,
and $40 O12, $50 in per cent refunding
certificates of smaller denominations to
accommodate people with small means.
These certificates were available only
for conversion into the per cent bonds
of the same issue. On the LIST of NOVem-
Der, 1900. the amount of these per cent
bonds and certificates outstanding was
as follows:
As of 1907 .....................$ 1886, SIG 800
Refunding certificates. .......$ 34,410
Total. 1886, 551 ,010
These bonds will be absorbed into 2
per cents before July 1, 1907, when they
are ma 10 redeemable. The ten-year 8
per cents issued in 1898 and rede6mable
after August l. 1905 will take the same
course. The amount of these per cents
sold was 1898, 1872, $40, and the amount
outstanding on the LIST of November
was $126, 596, 040 In a few years nearly
"a per cent of the bonded indebtedness
of the United States will be bearing in
terest at the rate of only per cent per
annum, which, with the principal, win
be payable in gold coin.
Secretary Gage has issued a circular
suspending the refunding operation au-
thorized by the law of March A. 1900,
on and after December 81, 1900. This
will stop further expansion of National
Bank circulation after that date Mr..
Gage thinks ample time has been given
for the operation of this conversion pro-
cess, and that it is desirable to have
some bonds to which the surplus in the
Treasury may be applied.
Speaking of this the San Francisco
Bulletin says
I'VE do not quite agree with him in
this ivew of the case. We think the
conversion business should be left open
until the maturity of the different is
sues of bonds which have been declared
available for that purpose. If these
