the National debt, how it applied And
why, wo might add, was it borrowed if il was
not needed These things may be mysteries to

The money was used to pay off the Van Buren,
debt, and thus, you sec, the making Of ono debt
afforded the means of canceipg another. In
other words, the Wing loan was simply substitu-
ting voluntary lenders. for the involuntary and
needy creditors Of the Government. Do you IN.
