9262,000 a Day.

The rate of reduction of the

publiG

debt since the inauguration* of President Grant has been 8262,422 a day! This is the rate at which the Republicans, according to. the sham De mocracy .and- croakefs,1 are sending the country to, the devil ,, this is the rate by whichr,:aidcoiiding to the plain facts, the administration is restoring the finances, so that commerce and trade may resume their legitimate sway without fears,-of national bank, ruptcy and ruin- This reduction of the national debt by 8262,000 a day, 88,OOQ00ft a month, #iOO,OOO$0O *a is simply in its effect .restormg tha£ much money to the frabfic' "for investment and the transaction' of business.

is, after all, a sort of necessity, and not altogether useless. Planted at the center of affairs, having the acquaintance of officials, and ready access to the archives, it sometimes gives us an article abounding in real valuable live figures and facts—interesting, helpful statistics. As this is about the only praise which can be honestly accorded to it, let us bestow it with due and hearty acknowledgment.

It lacks ability, and nothing but the ablest paper can command the confidence and leadership of the Radical press. There is an obstinate belief ampng intellegent readers and observers that the
