Tho ruofct interesting questions in public cfl'dirs, which now engage the attention of tbe people of the United States, ere those which relate to the financial condition of tbe country Since tbe financial panic ana collapse fire years ego, capital and labor and business capacity have tound is hard to get profitable employment. We have bad what is cemmoniv and properly known as bard times. In such times men naturally ask, What eaa bs done? How long is this stag nation of bnsiness to last? Are tbere any facts which indicate aa early re turn to better times ? I wish to esk vour att:ntion for a few moments while I present some facts end fig ures which show a progressive im provement in tbe financial condition of tbo General Government. It will be lor vou to consider what inferen ces mav bo fairlv drawn a. to their bearing on the question of a revival of business prosperity throughout tbe countrv. The Csanciul condition of the Gov ernment ot tho L trued Stales is ?Lowo by its deb:, its receipts and expenditures, the currency, and tbe state cf trade with fore'gn countries. Let us consider tbe present ttate of the public debt THE ASCERTAINED DEUT reached the highest point toon after tbe close of the war, iu August, 18C5, and amounted to $2,757,080,571,43. Ia addition to this, it was estimated tbat there were enough unadjusted claims ajuici-t tbe Government of un questioned validitv to 6well tho total debt to $3,000,000,000. How to deal with this burden was ote of tbe gra vest questions which pressed for de cision as a rt'.-uk cf the war. It will be itroimbcrt d .that ia important speeches aud iu the public press the opiaion wa3 c .cSdcniiy declared that the debt could Lever ho paij ; tuat greet nations rvr did pav tht-ir war dcb:s ; that ouc Uwbk would l? iike that' if Ec'.a&e! rermaciui, i aaa a ourui-a upou ourvuives aau our Poftcru' for all time, b.mie advo- ! filed bud IRIDT feared repudiation. TLeie were thee a!o w ho thought a natiuuul debt was a national bless ing. Fortunately, however, the em inent gentleman at the head o! the Treasury, Mr. Hugh McCulloch, did net. held ibee vie as. 1 lo bclicvej, and tbe people believed, that the debt was not a blessing, but a bur den, iiLd tbat it ought to be, and could le, hocesdy puid. The policy adapted was to reduce tho debt, and itbtrby a'.ieagthen the public credit, so as to refund the debt at lower rates iof tLterest. Acd now I give you tbe results. The dibt has bee a reduced until now it is only $2,03o,5S0,32l 81. This is a icduetioo, as compared with tbe cscertaintd dtbt thirteen yeaM aco. of $722,100,210 aS. More Thau I ti c pretext dtlt with li e actual uebt tlirucj years ago placing the actu al t!tb: at $3,000,000,000 the rcduc liou amounts to about $1,000,000,000, or oce-tbird of tbo total debt. Thus it baa been demonstrated tbat the United Stale cau and will pay the national debt. Encouraging as are these facts, they do not fully thow the progress made ia relieving tbe country from tbe burden cf its war debt. Ail who have to borrow money to carry debts knor tbe importance of tbe question of interest. Tbe total amount of INTEREST EEARIXU DEBT at tbe time it reached its highest point, tbe 31st cf August, 1SC3, was aa follows : Four per cent, bonds , I ue jiereent. bonds Six mt cent, lNds I IU t ailed State notes., t'naipound Interest notcr, eeal... k 611.1?7 90 WO.lTi.T'-'J l.oat.;iu,r. a 8oo.uo,iwu ou 217.02.14 00 per Total Interest bearlns; delit....AalAiU:'v Vt The total animal Interest chanre aouiunted to loO.;-,fJ7 H tip rniPOTni?

For interefct tlono w were paying mire than djuble tba total current eipL-uiesof tbe OoTerament ia any year of peace prior to the war for tho Union. Witheuch a burden for in terest, it 13 not strange that many believed tbat the debt could Dot be paid. lot, as we bare teen, a bet ter opinion prevailed. Those who believed by s:rengtben:n;r tbo nation al credit the rules of interest might bo reduced were sustained by tho public judgment Tba ability and tbc'purposo to pay the dubt according to -its letter und Fpiiit wcro dcmon&traled. It was teen that the successful management of tbe debt depended on tbe rates of intereel to be paid ; tbat a reduction cf one per cent, ou our whole interest-bearing debt would be a yearly eaving ia iaterest cf over $20,000, G00; that a rednctioa cl two per cent, ia tbe rate cf interest would save to tbe country over $40,000,000, which is the interest at four per cent, on $1,000,000,000. The policy of reducing the debt and thereby strengthening thp .'pub lic credit having been adopted, let us observe tbo result in the present con dition cf tie public debt with repeci to interest.

It thus appears that in thirteen years tbe interest-bearing debt has been re duced froia $2,381,530,20ii 00 lo$l, 800,077,000 ; a gain ia the amount cf tbe interest-bearing deb; of $.'71f Oo. The reduction of THE ANNUAL INTEREST charge is $33,79G,C00 31, or more than f)0 per cent, of what wo now pay. If the redoctioft of annual in terest were placed ia a sinking fund at 4 per cent, interest it would pay off the whole debt ia Jes3 than twenty-five years. i There baa been another gratifying and important improvement ia tbe fctate of tbe public debt. A few years ago our boada were largely owned ia foreign couctriea. It is estimated that ia 1S71 from $800,000,000 to $1,003,000,000 were - held abroad. We then paid from $50,000,000 to $00,000,000 annually to Europe for interest alone. Now tbo bonds are mainly held in our own country. It is estimated tbat fire-sixths of them are held ia the United States, and only one-sixth abroad? Instead of paying to foreigners toO.000,000, we now pay them only about ?12,000,- 000 cr $15,000,000 a reaf, and tbe interest on tbe debt jmaia!y paid to our own citizens, ft appears from what has been shown that since the close of tbe wer, since the panic cf five years ago, tbere baa been a great change in the condition of the debt. The change baa been one of improve ment. 1. The debt baa been greatly re duced. 2. Tbo interest to bo paid has been largely diminished. 3. And it ia to be paid at borne ia stead of abroad. TAXATION.

Nothing connected with tbe finan cial affairs of the Government is more interesting aud instructive than tbe state of trade with foreign countries. Tbo exports 1ROMTHE UNITED STATES during the year ending June 3d, 1878, wero .larger than during any previoos year in the history of tbe country. From the year 1SG3 to tho year 1873, tbe net imports into the United States largely exceeded tbe exports from the United States tbe excess of imports ranging from $30,000,000 to $182,000,000. During the years 1S71 and 1875, tbe exports and imports were about equal. During tbe years ending June 30, 1876, '77, '78, howerer, tbe domestic exports from tbe United States greatly exceeded tba net imports, the excess of exports increas ing rapidly from year to year.

Tbe bal ance of trado tbe last year, if com pared with that of two years next before tbo panic, shows a gain in favor cf tbe United State., in one year, of over $100,000,000 It ia not necessary tbat I should dwell upon tbo importance cf this favorable state of tbe balance of trad?. Balances must bo settled in cash in the money of the world. Tbe enter prises of our bnsiness men reach out to all parts of tbe world.

The commerce cf all pirts of the world, bound together more than ever be fore by steamships, railroads and telegraphs, is so connected that it rnast be conducted on the same prin ciples and by tbe same instrumen talities by all who take part in it COMMERCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES. We cannot if we would, we should not if we could, isolate ourselves from tbe rest of tbe commercial world. In all our measures for tho improvement cf our financial condi tion we fchonld remember tbat our increasing trade with South Ameri ca and the Old World requires tbat our fioaDcial system shall lid bueJ oa principles whose soundoess and wisdom arc sanctioned by the uni versal experience and the general judgment of all mankind.

He remembers about 30 years ago, when in tbia whole territory if Min nesota and Dakota tbey managed. by counting up baif-breeds and " i sorts of good runating. to make 13 tbe census 1,500 people. (Laughter.) Ia this towa of St. Paul tbey per haps bad 150 inhabitants ; down at Minaeapolia perhaps 50. Tbo pre cise number ia Minnesota I do not know, and now if you aro not a million yon soon wi'lba. (Applause.) And St. Paul well, I can't venture upon that, I am afraid; but tbo truth is, my friends, St, Paul and tbe neighboring flourishing city of Min neapolis, wbatever you may tbink, are one ia interest, one ia the future, one great city" ia epite of pres ent ditliculty (Great and prolonged -; . - It &s-Ii Cb r o f-i t- ik. applause.)

(Applause) Now, my friends, with this picture, r.aI think so full ot hope for the fu ture for you and nio aa individuals, I do ventcro with evidence upou predictions cf proppority.

IUNEST CL'RREN'CT. - My friends, I enter opon no arga mcnt on a diputed question, but I say as mr opinion we may bo mis taken all cf U9 believe tbat restored Goancial condition depends largely cpoa an honest currency. (Great ap plause.) And why do I say this? The commerce of the world is the commerce now ia which we are tak- part, and tbat is the same thing tho world around. We bave with us to-day the gentleman who ia at tho head of the Signal Service of tbe United States. He ia known popu larly aa "Old Probabilities." (Great applane ) He is not old, and I fear be ia tot always probable. (Renew ed laughfi'-r.)

Where tbere ia very bard times ia one ?reat nation, soon er or later it goe.a clear around. We should then base our financial sya tern on principles and by instrumen talities that are sanctioned and ap proved by the best .iadgment of the commercial world Then, I repaet, if we want our standard of financial prosperity to be based upon sure and safe foundation?, let os remember, let ns all remember, that ita best secu rity ia aa untarnished rational cred it and a sound constitutional curren cy. (Great aa-1 prolonged applause.) oi.n prions. At tbe conilasioa of the Presi dent's speech there were loud and frequent calls for Old Probabilities', General Albert G.

President Hayes introduced him aa follows: My friends: I bave tie pleasure of introducing to you the gentleman I named, and that I name with pleas ure, General Myer, cf tbe Signal Service of tbe United States. (Hor raba for Old Probs., and applause.) Gen. Myer: It would ba simply a joke to call on zne to male a speech, a thing I tbiak I have never done in my life.
