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.

tion and material progress that is
