This Ix the theory of International biinetallism, and any- thing short of it would. necessarily ba one- aided and of Mmited duration.

It would’ not bo surprising If England shoule be tho first to tire of such a'demonetization as that, and consequently one of the enrtlest nations to suggest a restos ration of silver to tha wortd’s stack of money, At all events, this conrse will be the natural reaction from any determined reststunce on the part of England ta the project of an in- ternattonu! tlouble standard, and there should be no compromiso whereby England ean avold the penalty of the onestded polley she has adopted in this regard, ‘The blinetaltista of this country have never contemplated tho adoption of a singla silveF standard any more, than the adoption of u single geld standard, and the English statesmen and bankers are much inistaken If they fmagine they can foreu tho United States into the former post- lon. iS cananaineitaienemeeeeae DISTRIBUTION OF THE . GOVERNMENT DEBT. : Some apprettenston has been expressed at the revelations: made by ‘Mr. R. P. Porter, Special Agent of the Census Bureau, fn re- gard to tho distribution of tho Natfonal debt. This gentleman tins ascertained from hls Ine vestigations that out of $64,000,400 registered bonds tho sum of $410,279,400 Is held in amounts of over $50,000, and only $7,555,000 in mounts of less than $500; also, that the distribution of the amounts less than $500 fs ameng 25,613: parsons, while the larger amount stated is held by only 1,599 rleh men ant corporations. ‘'I'his fact is spoken of by Dradstreet's ant othor Journals as ‘start ling? aud us a “rntter for reflection? ‘Lhe {ntimation is that, Hf the repudiationtsts or Communists shall ever make any headway in this country, they will find a strong basis for appenilng to, popular passions and prejt- dlees iu the fact that the great. bulk of the debt fs hell by 0 compare atively small. number of wealthy men and corporations, ‘There aro reasons to beilove, however, that any such napprelen- sion is entirely unfounded, It fs entirely natural thata Governinent debt benring 3i¢ and 4 por cent Interest should drift Into the hands of n few retired capitallsts,.for the rato of interest Is too Jow to attract popular and permanent Investment among an enterprise Ing people and. tn a country full of oppor- tunfties fur more profitable investments, But there fy no danger that cither Communism or repudiation with grew to any alarming: ex- tent so longas any vestige of tho present Gov- ernment debt shall renain, It has been pata off, 13 belng paid off, and will continue to be aid off so gapldly, and with such small bur- den to the people, that it will ‘never at any stage excite anything like popular antagon- ism. Tho public debt ts to-day only about one-half whit it was at the close of the War, At fs the opluton of Ex-Sueretary McCulloch that the netual debt, including obligations and contracts which were subsequently Hquidated out of the Trensury funds with- out golng into bonds, was dit one time not legs than $4,000,000,000. It Is now only $2,000,000,000, But tho burden of tho debt hng been deerensed in still greater proportion. In 1865 abofit 33 millions of peo- le were paying something Mke $150,000,000 aunualy for interest onthe public debt; to- duy.nbout 62 miliions are paylng anly S64,- 000,000 of fnterest. In other words, at tho. close of the War, the Interest-charge amount ed to about $4.50 per capita, while It now, amounts to only $1.20 per capltn, ‘Lhe debt itself hus been reduced one-hatf, and the burden of carrying It hos been reduced nearly three-quarters within sixteen years, Such a showing Is the: strongest possible argument against futuro trouble, It ae. counts for the present unparalleled credit of the Government aud the wntyersal confidence of monvy-lenders all the world over, Ber sides, though the American debt be notin the shape of a poputar loan, it ts rapidly assume Ing tho shape'of anative Joan, and In the latter respect appoals to the selfish Interest ag well as the patriotism of tho American people, Repudintion Is one of tho itaugers that have been Jeft behlad In the progress of free governmenton tho Amerlean continent. _—————— ‘Tue Misslasippl River Commission held a meoting yesterdity, tho session hitting from Wo. mh tob.W p.m. All the ingmbers of: the Bunrd Were present except one--viz.2 Gin.
