The nersion expenditures for the fiscal year 1299, thirty-four years aftor the close of the war, will reach $150,000,000. What doer it mean? Nt means the interest at 3 per cent, on a debt of $5,000,000,000, which is more than any other national debt in the world except that of France. It?s mora than the combined expenditures for all purposes of the States in the Union. That is tosay, if the money spent for pensions wera divided among the States, all taxation for State pur- poses could be dispensed with. "Tt is more than eight times the combined revenues of all the univercities and colleges of the United States, and almost as the eost of all the public schools. It is more than what we are accustcmed tocall the “crushing burden” of any army ‘in Europe. It is enough for fortifying our coasts impregnably in eight montbs, and for building the, finest navy inthe world in two years. a If we spentfor pensions twice as much every year as Garfield said over twenty years ago would be the highest: amount ever re- quired, the difference between that and what we are paying now would clear off our entire nation al bonded debt in ten years. Af- erthatit would more than pay the interest on the bonds requir ed ta give the government .con- trol of all the railroads in the Thited States. Our pension ontiay for six months would build the Nicars- guan Canal, and in another six morths it would duplicate the Western Union Telegraph Sys- tem for the benefit of the public. If the pension roll had been confined to double the Garfield Standard, we should never have had a deticit‘in asingle year, and instead of issuing new bonds to make both ends meet, we shou'd haye exhibited to the world long before now the remarkable spectacle of a government out of debt, and reducing taxes to cut down surplus revenues. As long as the penswna teak continues at its present dimen- sions, it will be useless for Serre- , tary Gage or anybody else to formulate financial policies with the idea of relieying the distress of the Treasory.—N.

This was in 1865, di- rectly after the close cf the war. It had been hidden in various places, some of them very secret and out of the way. The late James Dawson had.65 bales bricked up ina vault in a building on South Water street, the building in the rear of Messrs. James C. Stevenson & Taylor’s wholesale grocery house and now owned by Mr. Stevenson. We saw this cotton brought to light and helped to weigh is Wewere told that Mr. Dawson got $1.25 per pound for it, but in this we may have been misiaformed as from a table before us we find the highest price quoted in New York was $1,20 and therefore we adopt these figures. But in ore year, 1864, did it go beyonu $1.20. In that year it got up as high as $1.90 per pound, against 93 cents in 1863. The table we allude to is sent out hy Price, McCormick & Co., of New York, There was a big drop, however towards the latter part of 1865, when it ranged down as low at 35 cents. From that time the descent was grad- ual, but sure. As late as 1891, seven years ago, it so'd tor 125 cents, In 1896 the maximum was 84 and the minmum 7 1-i6. These figures, be ‘it understood, were for middling. To- .20 per Pound. , see us. IAS.
