In het, the preference given to Terminable An-
snida over permanent funds nets mainly on the un-
derstanding that they ensure the extinction of a
certain amount of debt at the close of a certain
tam. This is an advantage we have no inclination
to undervalue ; for assuredly we do not agree with the
writer of the City Letter of yesterday's Times, when
he coolly lays down the law that debt is no debt.
"The loan in the present cue," says this egregious
financier, " will not draw from the public a single
farthing of capital, and is, in fact, to be regarded as
nothing else than an immediate addition of
15,000,0001., or whatever may be its amount, to the
parry of the country." The writer does not con-
diessad to point out any difference between the pre-
sent loan and any other loans that have from time to
time been contracted by the State. The inevitable
inference, therefore, is that the writer of the
Bones' City Later regards the whole of the
National Debt as de facto "an addition to
the property of the country." We have from
the beginning advocated recourse to a loan for the
purpose of carrying on the war, but really our con-
science will not allow us to represent it in such a
favourable light as this. Every debt contracted by
the State is a mortgage on the productive industry
of the country. It is an inevitable evil—a less evil
than a disproportionate increase of taxation—but
still it is pro Unto an evil, and to be got rid
of u soon as possible. But if the nation
is wise and prudent the debt will, on all
favourable occasions, be reduced by instalments of
payment, even though contracted in some other form
than that of Terminable Annuities. And if the
nation is not wise and prudent, it will not be so re-
duced, even though contracted in the form of Ter-
minable Annuities. We have no faith in arq sttsse
mechanical mans for the enforcement of a prudent
foresight. And this being the cue, the great, the
only recommendation of Terminable Annuities—
except in a subsidiary capacity—as a margin for the
adjustment of the masker price of a loan—falls to the
ground.—Doily News.
