From tile CHRONICLE.
tow ^outfo
THE prosperity of a country^ and &
prosperity of an individual muit be calculate
ed on the fame principles ; the fame stand
ard which determines the accuracy of one,
equally decides the validity of the other.
Mankind are too apt to confound their ideas
in judging on particular fubjas ; more es
pecially when speaking of government the,
soar into the regions ot mystery, and incon
siderately adopt the falfe do&rines of design--
' n g politicians, ' that it is a feitence too intri
cate and perplexed tor common apprehen+
fion—the more abstruse and unintelligible
the adminiftratidn, the more " flupenduous
the fyttem" of wisdom which guides and di
reds those who govern.
But this is tara reasoning ; upon this
ground; the abfu rd dodtine, that “ a public
debt is a public bleffing,"^ founded. It i$
impoflible, that such a grots sentiment
IhouM be inculcated; if the People Would
exetcife the fame common sense on this
9" e !"° n i ak they do in the general-concerts
of life. A public debt must, in its confer
quences, create public taxes must be col
leded from the people, and those who who
pay, them must inevitably feel their ultimate
tendency and pernicious effeds,
- What can bu the difference between ann
tion and an individual? Do not the Tame
conclusions follow in one case as in the oth
err If a private citizen is distressed by his
debts, if he is exposed to many difficulties
from the multiplicity of demands upon him
why should we suppose that a nation ma,
not equally experience the operation offuch
embatra&nents?
This appears plain teafohlng; but tin
fortunately for nations,an opposite dodrine
is inculcated, and even in America, an at
tempt has been made to infill this absurdity
as the left of political orthodoxy. It has
been Co far considered as the pivot of Fed
eralism; that the man who presumed to
speak of the public debt, or recommended
economy, has been fligmatiz^d a Jacobin,
and exposed to every reflection which could
injure his political reputation. In short,
extravagance in public expenditures appears
to have been systematically contemplated as
the mark of national happiness and profper
at, ; ond though this chimerical mode has
been secretly adopted by individuals, ,et the
project was too absurd to be openly divulge
ed ; for while the plan was intended to iiw
crease the public debt, the citizens have beeq.
flattered that it was annually decreasing.
But that the public debt has increased, can+
not be Controverted ; for if this had not been
• the fa& how is it poffibJe that the augments
ation of taxes should so rapidly have taken
place ? It either proves that we have ex
pended our resources needlefsl,, ot that the
debt had kept pace with the call for taxes.
The reasoning to be drawn from the increase
of taxes is, that the demands on the govern
ment are equal to the demands on the peo
ple, and this being granted, it follows that
original debt was within the revenue arising
from impost, butrbat the augmentation re
quires an excise, (lamp-duties, land-tax', and
an eight per cent; loan, tocancel the arrear
ages.'
We may talk about the decrease of the
public debt as long as we please; financeer
ing legerdemain may perplex the statement
from the Trea fury department ; Mr. Har
per may write to his confthuenrs, that our
pecuniary affairs are in a prosperous fixa
tion ; but when the people find that all the
refoutces of the country are brought ipto
operation, and that 01st public credit de
manded eight per cent, to support it, the,
cannot be 10 loft tp the estimation of pounds
Shillings and pence as to deceive themselves
by fi&rtiOTSCalculations. The money rais
ed from various sources ought to have di
minished the debt by this time, and it is but
a poor confutation to be told by a few {pecu
lators, that we are not more in arrears than
when we only pain the trifling duties of im-
It would be highly fatisfafory to she
People of the United States, to have ladbe
tore them, the whole revenue arising from
the refpe&ive taxes and loans, from the firft
yearafter the Revenue fyftero was eftab,
jithed, to the 3d of Maren, 180 I. Should
this be done, 1 believe the People would be
a ftoniShed at the magnitude of the amount.
From this Statement, the Citizens would be
abfe to judge, what have been their exertion
