Old Series Vol. VII.

The enormous accumulation ofdebt
incurred by this war is beginning to
arouse serio,s attention in the North.
A writer in one Of the New York pa
pers makes an elaborate review of
che finances Of the Washington Gov
eminent, in which, after proving it
by figures, he says:
The annual rate of expenditure is
now at least one billion dollars per
aunum. There are sagacious and
we'll informed men who insist that il
is not less thar four millions day
OF present reduction of expenditure
there rs no possible prospect. Tho
taxation which Mr.. Chase invokes rs
essential TO insure success to the fl
rauces Of the Government is not less
than five hundred II illions of dollars
Il vear--tlat is, FIVE hundred millions
of fixed, permanent revenue are nee
essarv, even if there Be military
success. Otherwise cali measures
will fall 1t requires military sue
cess now, to make five hundred mil
lions of taxation sufficient to carry on
the Government. That, too, be it
noted, will be for peace establish
ment. What would be needed for .
continued war establishment If sue
cess shall not come in time, and SO
completely as to close up the war and
stop the expenditure. Mr.. Chase
does not profess to compute for it is
plainly in his thoughts that unless
the war be thus finished the present
year, the Government is bankrupt.
The Chicago Tires is equally
frank, and says, in the course of AN
article on the same subject:
When the new tax and tariff bills
take effect the people will realize the
cost of the war.
Dcsrlite cnormot!s taxes and duties,
the expense of the Government will
continue to exceed the receipts by
two millions per diem. The public
credit cannot long endure such strain
without q prospect of relief. The
financial situation, the enormous tax
and deprecated currency, the awful
magnitude Of an accommodating debt.
: and the imminencc of an explosion
l more destructive than any country
?, has ever known, are bringing people
| to their senses.
The reelection Of Lincoln decides
/, the continuance Of the war till ma
tional bankruptcy and exhaustion
g close it.
