Contemplate for a moment in these days
Of an over1owing Treasury and the Gov
eminent pressed to borrow all the money
it wants at two per cent, the spectacle Of
the Secretary of Treasury shining"
around Wall Street, getting few thou
sand dollars here and a few thousand dol
lars there, at constantly increasing rates
of interest, with finally a refusal to lend
him anything at less than the usurious rate
had but So, 233 ,220 in the Treasury Jan.
/, 1861, and needed at least 5000, 600
at once. The revenues showed deficit
of $21 ,G77,524, and, besides this, there
was a deficiency Of between $2,0O0,OG0
and s., 3,000, ,0O0-making the whole amount
the Treasury was short $24,000,O00. He
had to go to Wall Street, again and beg
for more money. Congress passed an act
Feb. s, 1861, authorizing him to borrow
So, 100000 at six per cent. This time he
sold the "stock," as 1t was then termed
''bonds" not yet having come into use
for what he could get for it, and for some
Of it he got less than Sc cents on the dol
of this loan issued, which went at the fol-
lowing figures:
SS,006.8O ................a .at 9041 cents
3.Gtt,oOO ................at at 94Ul cents
d,3lo,VU ............... .at SJ.o4 cents
On this $1S,415,OO0 face valne. for
which the Government only received S5
per cent on more than one-third, the Gov
ernnent paid in all the vast amount of
$21 ,695, ,013.23 in interest besides the ST.
O19, ,77G.10 Of the discount on the princi-
pal.
The men were very reluctant to take
these bonds in 1861; they were still more
reluctant to let them 60 after the war had
resulted in the triumph Of the Union. As
soon as its finances were put in a salts
factory shape, the Government began try
ing to pay Off these bonds or exchange
them for those bearing lower rates. This
the bond-holders were vigorously opposed
to, and before they would surrender their
holdings required substantial compen-
sation. From FIRST to last the Treasury
paid them $125, 1888 in premiums before
they would give up their bonds. There

THE BILL Of complaint of the revolution
lists of Panama against the central Gov
ernment at Bogota is. plain, practical
ard very convincing document. 1t is the
same story as the Spanish Admin:stra-
ton of Cuba. A little gang of politi-
clans which happened to be in power at
Bogota robbed the province and city of
every cent Of revenue that could be
squeezed out of it and kept it. Nothing
was; returned to be expended on the 18TH
mus. The people had to give up their
money and got no roads. bridges, schools,
public buildings, or any absolutely-neces
sary improvements in return. It u q
wonder that this was stood as long AZ II
was. Several times the Panama people
might have broken away from the Bogota
Government but for The action of the
United States in preserving the peace
of travel across the Isthmus, which casu-
ally helped the Bogota Government to
maintain its authority.

GALVESTON has set a commendable ex-
ample in issuing the bonds required for
the improvements of the city in small de-
nominations, appealing to the civic pride
of the people to take them. Nearly all
of the $15,500000 was subscribed in the
city. large proportion by clerks, me-
chanics and laborers each buying one or
two bonds. This not only helps inculcate
the idea Of saving, but it gives everybody
financial interest in the management of
the city, while educating them into a sys-
TEN which must become rule in this
country Of big corporations Large corpora
dons are bound to be, and it is for the
public good that their stock should be held
in small amounts BY the people employed.
Everything in the way of bonds of small
denominations is a desirable education of
the people toward this end.

THE most crushing argument against
the proposed expenditure of $101 600. .0OC
on the Erie Canal was the showing that
the syndicate which controls the elevators
at Buffalo and the terminal facilities a.
New York exacts an average Of $1.5S on
every ton of grain that passes through, or
something more than half as much as
is allowed the canalboats for hauling il
400 miles through the State of New York.
No wonder the grain trade is being rapidly
diverted from New York to less greedy
ports.

THE detachment of Panama from the
United States of Colombia is not so vio-
lent political disruption as 1t would be
in a more homogeneous country. Since
the northern part of South America, the
ancient Vice-Royalty of New Granada
gained its independence in 1919. it has had
almost as many revolutions as Mexico,
which made the phenomenal record Of 80
revolutions in so years. The boundaries
of the country have been repeatedly
changed, and have never remained the
same for any long period. The very name
has been changed three times. In fact,
secession and disruption have been rather
the natural order of things.
Panama is peculiarly isolated from the
rest of Colombian territory, and can only
be reached from Bogota by many days
of tedious and tiresome travel. Three

5 DIR. WILEY has stirred up some Others
by his theory that ''love is disease due
to microbe' which, if it can be discovered
and ser;m compounded for it, will pre-
vent irrational marriages and put these
alliances upon a basis of common-sense.
They are all unduly scared. Before there
can be any hope of preventing fool mar
riages, the microbe for foolishness will
have to be discovered, and an effective

THE MILLION STAMPS STORY,

year or two ago a firm Of stamp deal
ers in Queen Victoria Street used TO
buy them at Z2 per million. This works
out to more than 1000 stamps a penny
but the ffm declined to receive less
quantitieG than 100, 600 at a time. But
for the last forty years there has been
a constJntIy recurring fable as to the
collection of a million stamps. It is the
story OF a hard-hearted guardian and a
beautiful ward As the price of her be-
trothai Ee stipulated the collection of a
million s\amps. task he deemed I'M
possible In consequence the girl was
Inundated with stamps. In various
guises this story has repeated itself for
years One OF its last appearances was
in 1895. when a master at RipOn Gram
mar School was the hero 1t was a
canard. but the gentleman was so flood
ed with letters containing used stamps
that he had to contradict the story II
