untalteringly sustained at a figure which the
Exchequers Of Monarchy seldom hope to
attain.
Il would be on III compliment to TIE sarn-
cious aud discerning advisers OF President
Lincoln Go ascribe these remarkable pheno-
mena mainly or primarily to any peculiar
skill of theirs Ia finance The thing has In
70 far deeper and more important meaning.
Credit IL due 20 She Cabinet at Washington
for the simplicity aud cand0r Of their heas-
ures; and eboye ah for the courageous faitn
they have shown in the calm steadfastness
and patriotism Of the people. Bat In this In
domiable and noble spirit Of the many lies
the true Interpretation Of the marvel. Clev-
er ministers may devise ingenious lures in
time Of peace, OF plausible brides on The eve
OF foreign war, whereby to raise exlraordin-
~ loans, bat no European Government since

As in sze aud strength, so Ia financial
success, GDe lat' CT commonwealth oXCelS its
prototype. But the cause in both is the same
"a fixed belief In the minds Of the many that
what they had nationally undertaken should
be accompllshed-a silent, unargued, but in
eifable conviction, scorn for the idea of evenu
ual iaiIure-an all but unanimous resolution
TO maintain at auy cost, but 20 maintain
thoroughly and honorably, the guerdcn of
those liberties they dearly prize--is the
'publc secret OF what looks to despotic
aud oligaI0bic rulers as a riddle. The whole
community commits itself to the cost OF the
present war, because the whole community
feels that the defence Of the Federal COnsti-
tuition, aud the suppression Of unnatural trea-
son, is worth the cost, and ought not TO be
grudged. The rich men open their strong
boxes and the thrifty contribute from their
frugal stores, and the tradesmen and laborer
take without murmur payment in the pro-
missory notes OF the State, because all feel
that they cannot afford to doubt their value.
They do not want to believe that they have
any right TO ask for discount upon them.
They will not believe ii; they do not believe
it--lor the best Of all possible reasons, that
they feel that they have il in their power TO
make good every cent borrowed in their
name This ispublic credit, the public credit
of a self-governing people, one Of the great
est and most notable results Of freedom in
our time; one Of the most complete and
comprehensive answers ever given to the
calumnies Of its foes.
