O. N, KINO. g. B. CAHTKR. North Georgia Times KING As CARTEU, Publiahera. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER, 15 ISST* TWO DOLLARS A SECOND. The Bate *t Which the Public Debt is Being Deere sed Correa pot) deuce of the Missouri Republican. Few persons; perhaps who read the frequently published ,reports of the fiscal operations of tbe government give any consideration to the vast ness and significance of these opera tions. We read of tbe hun¬ dreds of millions of gold and silver in .the .treasury at Wash¬ ington, but how few persons have any intelligent idea of what is embraced in the nine figu es required to describe lia¬ bilities and assets ot the gov¬ ernment. It is only when the auriferous contents of the trea sury vaults are weighed and measured and placed by the side of articles and commodi¬ ties that are daily handled by the masses that an intelligent comprehension can be obtained by the people ot the financial .streangtii.of the treasury and the great extent of the govern¬ ment’s fiscal operations. By reference to the latest .published statement of tieasu ry assets and liabilities it is learned that among the assets was $281,096,417 in gold and nearly $950,000,000 in silver, including $34,000 000 of trade dollars and fractional coin. 'faking up this .$281,000,000 of gold aud placing it on scales I find that the gold held by the ireasuly weighed 518 tons, and it packed into ordinary carts, one tou to each cart, it would .make a pr cession two miles Jong, allowing twenty feet of space for the movement of each horse pnd cart. The weight of the silver produces much mote interesting results. Running this over the scales I find its weight to be 7,390 .ous. Meas living it in carts, as in the case of the gold, the silver now held by the treasury would require the service o f 7,396 horses and carts .to transport it, and would make a procession over twenty ( one miles in length. The surplus about which so £nuch is said in the daily news¬ papers am unt to nearly $47, $00,000, an inc.ease of $5,000, .000 since July 1. Counted as gold this surplus would weigh 86 £ tons. Counted as silver it would weigh 1,385 tons. Each million ot gold adds 3,685 pounds to the su pins and each million of’ silver adds 58,930 pounds. Applying cubic meas¬ urement to the treasury gold and silver and piling the two metals on Pennsylvania avenue 09 co:c) wood is piled before de¬ livery to the purchaser, (he gold would measure V] cords and Uie silver 490 cuds, and .both would (extend from the treasury depiut Dient io Four-and a-lialf Greet, or from the treasury lo the pension office in a straight line, and form¬ ing a solid wait eight fuel high aDfl ioui feet br. nd. Ex ending those rr.lcn'alions and comparisons lo tl e interest-bear ing debt, tqually interesting results are obtained The public debt reached the highotl point in Au¬ gust, 1865— tw-i t.v two years ago —when it was $2,381,530,295. The geneiai reuder wilt belter appre¬ ciate the vasluese of tins sum when ii formed that it repiescnts 70,156 ions of silver, which would make u procession of carts hut would ex lead Irons Richmond, Vt, to a point twelve miles north of Philadelphia, the distance it would thus cover be¬ ing 266 miles. The inter ;st bear ing bebt is now (not including the Pacific railroad booth) $1,001,9.76 ’• >>60. showing that the sum -paid-ha* been $1,379,663,546, oi ffiQie than hall of the total amount, aud.rep resiuting 40,637 tons of sil 7er dol¬ lars, which would extend 154 miles it packed in catts.containing 1 ton each Reducing these figures to a basis where they may be intelligently comprehended, aqd that .the rapid¬ ity with which the government has reduced its bonded debt may be fully tealizjd by tbe general reader, I find that the reduction has been at the average rate of $62,706,075 each year, $5,225,681 each month, $174186 each day, $7,258 each hour, and $120 47 for .every minute oi the entire 22 years. Pursuing the calculation to the smallest divisible space of time, the bonded debt of tbe United Sides has been decreased at the rate of $2 07 for every second, or for every swing of the pendulum, for tbe en¬ tire period from Aug. 81, 1865, to July 81, 1887. This is an exhibition of recupera¬ tion and material progress that is without parallel in the world’s his¬ tory.—Savannah Morning News. No paper t ap be published without home patronage, and every m’m is interested in keep¬ ing up a paper. If a railroad or factoiy is wanted, the newspa¬ pers are expected to work for it.
