Finances, National | A circular has been issued by Mr. Ward, a large manufacturer of Detroit, prepared by a committee composed of men who were republicans in politics, representing that, the enormous estimates for public expenditures of the country during the war have been kept up in many departments solely to avoid discharging office idlers. Estimates of 1868 for the merely miscellaneous expenses of the Government five and a third times as great as the actual expenses of 1860. There are 41,000 officials required by the Executive department alone to execute the acts of Congress whose aggregate salaries annually amount to over thirty-one million dollars - the officials being paid from $1000 to $13,000 a year each. The entire expenses of officials performing similar duties in the last year of Mr. Buchanan's administration amounted to only five million dollars, less than one fifth the amount now paid. About sixteen million are lost to the Government annually by the failure to collect the whiskey tax; fifteen million by frauds in the collection of the tobacco tax, etc. There are twenty United Judicial Districts maintained by Congress, at a cost of four hundred thousand dollars in which the whole amount f business does not amount to the cost of maintaining them. The official estimate for the expenditures of the War Department, Navy Department, and Civil Service, equal nearly two hundred million dollars for the present year. The West and South now have less bank currency than they had before the War while the Eastern and Middle States now have two hundred million more than before the War. The National debt increased nearly ten millions during the month of May. |

Finances, National | Editorial Comment. During the four years of President Polk's administration which included the Mexican War, the expenses of the War Department were 090,540,788 and the seine Department for the year ending July 1, 1868, the third year of peace are $128,858,494 or over $38,000,000 more during one year of peace than they were during four years of Democratic rule with the Mexican War on their hands. Pour years more of radical rule and plunder and the Government will be bankrupt forever. |

Finances, National | Letter from W. G. Hathaway, Chicago, Jan. 1, 1867 to Editor of the Chicago Times on the present question of contracting the currency by funding the treasury notes with a view of returning to a specie basis. We, the people, furnish all the funds, no small share of our daily expenses are additions to the price of articles of consumption to enable government to carry on its financial affairs. The political war on the United States bank and a subsequent running fire on all banks and paper currency, caused a financial crisis which prostrated all kinds of business, and spread universal bankruptcy and ruin throughout the land. The active capital of the country in hands of industry, was soon withdrawn and hoarded up in the hands of non-producing capitalists. But confidence and business were gradually restored and from then to now, various contractions and expansions of our currency have produced similar results. When Secretary Chase proposed his plan of issuing the legal-tenders to aid the treasury, bankers, brokers, and capitalists used their influence for Mr. Chase to issue and throw upon the market U. S. Bonds, thus raise funds to supply the pressing necessities of the government. The legal-tenders were issued and the country saved. This portion of the national debt, bearing no interest, and resting on the faith of the government for its redemption, has proved the best and most popular paper ever issued on this continent. This is the only constitutional paper currency ever issued in these U. S. It is the people's currency, issued by them end they are not particularly anxious about it in their own hands, it is already redeemed,safe at least. The constitution prohibits the States making anything but gold and silver a legal tender in the payment of debts, ignoring all private or state bank paper as "money." "Congress shall have power to coin money end regulate the value thereof", etc. It is the duty of the government to furnish all the currency of the country. More than one-fourth of the public debt could thus be used and carried, without interest, until we could pay off the balance; which could be easily done with economical management of our present revenue in six or seven years. |

Finances, National | National Debt according to the most reliable information yet submitted to the people, foots up as follows: Whole debt about 3,000 000 000; Stolen by contractors, quartermasters, commissaries, etc 500,000,000; Interest on non-taxable bonds 95,000,000; Divers, other comparatively trifling stealings amounting in the aggregate to 50,000,000. Since this statement was published 12,000,000 were added to the debt in January. It is thought the debt will be increased at the rate of from ten to twelve millions every month, as long as the radicals remain in power and as the debt increases there must be a proportional increase of taxation. The radicals demand the whole debt be paid in gold which would make the debt nearly twice as large as it is and will never be paid in gold unless the radicals compel the people to pay their taxes in gold.

War department in month July 1868 expended seven million and twenty-six thousand dollars. The Navy in month of July 1868 cost the people two million six hundred and fifty-one thousand dollars. Civil service for July 1868 cost four million seven hundred and nineteen thousand dollars. During July 1868 there was an expense altogether of forty-six million five hundred and forty-nine thousand dollars for the tax payers to pay. |

Finances, National | A special dispatch to the New York times says that no monthly treasury statement will be made until Aug. 1st as the fiscal year closed on Sunday. It reports a decrease in the aggregate receipts for the year of $40,000,000. The total amount of revenue received for the fiscal year ending June 30,1886 was $561,572,266. If there has been a falling off of *40,000,000 the amount received for the year ending on Sunday last was $521,572,266. It has been predicted that the receipts would fall below $500,000,000 If the government cannot be run without adding to the national indebtedness on this amount of revenue, the sooner the people are taught to regard repudiation as a necessity the better. Either this, or the debt should be paid in currency the moment it matures, and the currency should be inflated to an extent that will enable tax payers to stuff their pockets with money. The National debt will continue to increase and taxation will grow more oppressive so long as radical blacklegs and farro-betters, like Thadeus Stevens, stand at the head of the money affairs of the Republic. |

Finances, Nebraska | Editorial. $36,000 in Debt. The young and prosperous State of Nebraska under radical rule has already a bonded debt of $36,000, drawing interest at seven percent per annum. When the late legislature convened, the money to pay that debt was in the State Treasury. When the late "iawyai' Legislature adjourned, the money was not in the Treasury, nor was the debt reduced. But appropriations were made amounting to over $70,000. The people pay them. We congratulate the Radical party of Nebraska upon their financial skill-the glories of Statehood begin to illuminate the popular understanding. To Radical Orators and Radical newspapers the people are indebted for a State Tax, beginning July 1, 1867 for one year of $120,000. |

Finances, Otoe County. | Editorial. Jacob Hochstetler, new County Commissioner, says there is less than $200 in the Treasury of Ctoe County. Coupons for interest on railroad bonds are not being paid because there is no money to pay them with. Otoe County has issued about 4200,000 of Railroad Bonds, it will take 420,000 a year to pay the interest. Shall we have a special election and vote that amount? |

Finances, Otoe County. | Editorial. Valuation of all the personal and real property in Otoe County for the year 1868 is $3,191,822.87. Upon this amount, there has been levied, a sinking fund tax of io% on the dollar. This would raise if there should be no delinquents, the sum of $31,918.33. But one third will possibly be delinquent. Instead of having the amount levied we shall have only about $21,000 paid in. We owe, say R. H. Bonds $200,000 We " Court House 10,000 We liar, drawing int. 20,000 Total- $230,000. The interest upon above sums is 10% equal to $23,000 each year. Page 312, Revised Statues of Nebr., See. 30, says the sinking fund must not only be applied to the payment of interest upon the County debts but also 15% of the principal must be paid annually. We should have about 640,000 more this year put into the sinking fund and the total amount should be $63,000. But on page 41, Revised Statues, Sec. 23, a provision limits the levy of certain sorts of taxes to 3 mills on the dollar, thus the taxes levied for the payment of interest upon County Bonds issued for railroad purposes seen to be limited by law. Then the levy 10% for such purpose, is invalied and cannot be collected by law. A purely legal question which touches the pockets of every property owner in Nebraska City, or in this County. |
