anime and compare the products OF both
countries. That Of Great Britain Is es-
timated at 8, 340, 272, 900, which Is |
xII134 per capita, while that Of the |
United States IS estimated at 3,7l9,-
900. 900. or s155 to each person. This
shows plainly our ability to pay thls
debt without any severe lnconvenlenee
TO the people, for it viii be seen By this
statement that the annual income Of each

share Of the entire present indebtedness
All that is now needed 70 set things
right is proper spirit Of economy Oh
the part Of every individual to carry
out the principles inaugurated b. the
ladies' Of Washington, New York, and
elsewhere, in their efforts to encourage
home manufacturer, and discourage the
superHuous use and importation Of All
unnecessary foreign Injuries. Let Con
gress do its duty by passing 8 diserimi-

protective tariff law, 90 "a 10 effectaaIIy

currency will soon be, as il in reality IL,
equal to gold, without the possibility Of
being effected by Wall Street and other
snai'-fry speeulatcrs, which every hon est,
candid and thinking man must admit
has been, and still is the sole cause Of
the advance in gold, and aoa' as some
think, the depreciation Of our currency.
Another great source Of revenue 10
the Government viii be the sale Of rebel
! property, real and personal This alone
| ought 10 pay the whole Of the war debt,
, for it would be only right and proper 70
compel those who commenced the war
to pay the expense Of It, aside from the
constitutional right we have of coniisca-
! ting the property Of rSilors. This
, should be done in justice to the loyal
portion Of the South as well as TO the
North. Every foot of rebel propertJ
should be con6scated, and the proceeds
appropriated towards paying off the wal
debt We will thus be doing justice t.
j ourselves and TO posterity, and we vii
only aid these rebels further IN obtaining
o their rights which they have been fight
