figures within the last two years that We have
almost lost their power to create in mens minds

full appreciation of their meaning, il has become
necessary to look at them in relative manner.
and compare them with numbers which were be
fore regarded as large.
In order for Us TO fully appreciate the amount
of our public debt. must compare il with that
OF Great Britain, which is well known to be the
largest debt in the world. We propose To show
that, relatively, our public debt is much the
larger A large debt for a rich nation to paw

nation to pay Then LET Us see how we compare
with England in wealth and public debt

which is more than two and "A half Ii mes larger

With gold at $50, payable in United States
