For the first time tn tts existence the government was then free from debt. The revenues were large, and, in spite of Ilberal appropriations, there was a surplus of over $42,000,000. The Secretary of the ‘Treasury, Levi Woodbury, reported to Congress on the 8th of December, 1835, that the amount of the Indebtetness of the United States outstanding was $328,582.10, and this remained unpald for the reason that payment had not been demanded. Be- sides informing.Congress of the liquidation of the public debt, the secretary further stated that there would be a surplus in the revenues. What disposition should be made of this surplus was a question that gave rise to an animated debate in the Twenty-fourth Congress. ‘The reasons which lead Congress to make this disposition of the surplus revenue will be of inter- est especially at this time, when the project has been revived and very strongly urged tn some quarters. Mr. Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, ih a newspaper Interview ‘advocates such measure, and Senator John A. Logan, in an arti- cle In the North American Review for April, favors the distribution among the states of a sum not less than forty million and not greater than sixty millton of dollars for educational purposes. There was besides a bill introduced in the last Congress appropriating a large sum to be allotted among the states for the purpose of giving additional School facilities, THE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS. ‘The situation as tt presented itself to the Twen- ty-fourth Congress was simply this: There was no public debt, and there was a large amount of public money unexpended, The treasuries of the states were depleted in the effort to make the rev- enues drawn from a scanty population meet the expenditures which the necessities of a new un- settled country demanded. Bestdes, as the gov- ernment then’ was not the sole custodian of Its own funds, this money would be left in th» banks of depostt throughout the country. Mr. John GC. Calhoun, who introduced the Measure in the Senate, said that it was not only most” safe, but most just _—that tie states should have the use of the money in preference to the banks. The opposition to this Proposition he characterized as a wicked scheme to have the public funds in the banks of deposit to be loaned out by those institutions to specula- tors and partisans without autuority or control of law. This mighty combination, he sal!, would oppose it, and he greatly feaved that the tine was approaching when the will of power:ul combina- tions would be more powerful than that of the government. It was further claimed that this was the people's money and shoul, tuere‘ore, be returned to them. The state goveruments were heavily taxing the ‘people to __ carry on internal improvements for tue benelit or co: merce and to open up a new country for the oecu- pattons of civilized life. It was therefor# proposed to loun the state governments the money in the U.S. ury onthe Ist of January, 1937 (with the exception of five millloa of dollars), in propor- tion to their respective represzntation in both houses of Congress, the states to be re- uired to sive certificates’ pledging their fa.th for | the safe keeping of the mony, and its repayment when the Secretary of the Treasury should call for it.

While the word “loan” was used 1n the act, it was generally known as the “distribution bill,” and its friends never denied very strenuousty that a dis- tribution and not a loan was intended. The op- ponents of the tariff asserted that it was the Inten- tion to have an annual distribution bill, and when Mr. Calhoun at the next session introduced a Dill in the Senate to extend the provisions of this act to the next year, 1838, their fears were confirmed. A similar bit was also introduced in the House and passed. But it did not get through the Senate and never became a law, owing to the shortness of thc session. The necessity for pro- viding for a surplus did not trouble another Con- gress. For at the next mecting of that body they were called upon to mike an Issue of notes, in order to relieve the Mnanelal distress arising from the existence of a depreciated currency as well as other causes. The great panle of 1837 came on and there was a fallure of banks and a general de- preciation of values. ASSISTAN2 SECRETARY NEW’S COMMENTS. Mr. John C. New, the As-istant Secretary of the ‘Treasury, 1n conversation with a Tan man on this subject, sald that this question formed the topic of the first political discussion that he remembers. His own state, Indiana, on the strength of what she recelved from the government, began a series of public tmprovements tuvolving the expenditure Of fifteen million of dollars. None of these enter- prises were ever finished, and the state does not now own a dollar's worth of these projected im- provements, HISTORIAN M-MASTER’S SUMMARY. In tke recent history of the people of the United States, the author, Mr. McMaster thus describes this episode In our career as a nation. “The funded debt of the United States amount- ed on the 1st of January, 1791, to $75,463,476. From. that day it steadily grew in size tilt January ist 1804, when It summed up $86.427,120. Then a de- cline began. In 1819 it had fallen to $45,000,000. In 1635 It was paid off. The next year the goyern- ment was in possession of a surplus revenue of $40,000,000, whieh produced far more evil than the greatest debt the country has ever borne. It was divided among the states. Instantly the wildest extravagance began, Turnpikes, canals, banks and public improvements sprang up in every state. The creation of banks of issue ts without a parallel in history. They were to be found in every town, in every village, in every hamlet throughout the length and breadth of the land, A WILD OaT BANE. * story is extant of a messenger with notes to collect who traced a bank far beyond the limits of civilization to a spot on the prairies, where a smithy and single cabin were alone to be seen. The blacksmith was the cashier, the smithy was the bank, and the safe a barrel inthe corner of the shed. The messenger relates that when the notes were offered the blacksmith went to the bar- rel, took out first a layer of apples, then a layer of vegetables, and fin: the of gold, from which he on out gt eater eee the bills, saying ashe took them @ messenger was the first man who had found out the bank. States that had loaned thelr credit Th eek Saeed by the few millions The extravagance caused by the government brought enormous @ebts, Some repudiated, some suspended, some Cried out for a new assum} DULL The ‘Total, E | that there ts a large surplus revenue, The national debt is not extinguished, but it is no longer a source of uneasiness. On the contrary, the rapidity with which ft ts melting away under the annual application of the surplus revenue is regarded in many quarters as @ national mis- fortune, The reduction in the debt last year was $130,- 000,000, and the total debt ts now $1,543, 190,616.80. It Is estimated that with the reductions made in the sources of revenue by the last Congress that the surplus this year will amount to about $100,000, This Will be applied to the redemp- Uon of the 3 per cent Donda, which, now the 343 have all Deen called in, aré the only bonds out- standing that can be redeemed. The 43 and 4s Decome redeemable in 1891 and 1907, re<pectively, Uniess the revenue 13 reduced, the’ surplus. will continue to accumulate each year, and there will be a good many schemes proposed to keep the Treasury from being over burdened with that which the statesmen in 1887 regarded as a great source of dange! __—_+92—____ Novel Depository for Public Doci GOVERNMENT RECORDS IN TNE PILLARS OF THE NEW PENSION BUILDIN Gen. Meigs, the architect of the new Pension building, 1s carrying out a plan in connection with the building which 1s somewhat novel. As 1s well known, this bullding will surround a ball which will have balcontes on esch floor. The lower balcony 1s supported on pillars, about seventy in number, and these pillars are made of terra cotta pleces, closely ecmented together. In the lower part of ‘about twenty of these pillars a hole has been lett, about six inches in dlameter, In the pillars already completed these holes have been filled with lead cases containing records of the various departments of the government, and papers and docu- ments which the heads of the departments may regard as worthy of preservation, Gen. Meigs communicated toall the departments his design and asked their co-operation, lack of material. and he has hat The dutiding, when complete: wiil be, Gen. Meigs thinks, the most enduring of any public bullding tn the elty. Ir is entirely fre. proof and built solidly, and in the most thorough Manner. At the same time beauty in the design has not been neglected, and the completed struc- ture will present a very attractive appearance, The building will not be completed until next Year about this time. While it was bullt for the Use of the Pension office, tt 13 stated that It will never be occupted by that bureau, but that the Secretary of the Interior will occupy It himself, In order to do this, permission will have to be ob- tained from Congress. a District Government Affairs.

Seeing she was about to strike us I put my wheel down, but before the schooner could answer her helm the steamer struck us on the starboard side a little abaft the forward end Of the house.
