National Debts and U. S. Stocks.

Ihe creation OF natl0nal OeDCS lS Hoe d
modern Improvement, but the ability OF
great nation to provide for great debt,
and to make it the most convenient and
best form of personal property, is a
modern wonder The debt of Great Bri-
tain was begun by raising a million sterl-
ing by loan in 1892, and when her great
contest with Louis XIV was terminated,
the debt had reached fifty Millions
Many statesmen and economists were then
alarmed at the great burden which had
been imposed upon the industry of the
country, but when the war of the Aus
trian succession had swelled this amount
to eighty millions, Macaulay says that his
torians and orators pronounced the case
to be desperate. But when war again
broke out, and the national debt was
rapidly carried up to one hundred and
forty millions, men of theory and bust
ness both pronounced that the fatal day
had certainly arrived. David Hume
said that, although, by taxing its energies
to the utmost, the country might possi-
bly, live through it, the experiment must
never be repeated, even small increase
might be fatal Granville said the nation
must sink under it unless some portion of
the load was borne by the American
Colonies, and the attempt to impose this
load produced the war of the revolution,
and instead of diminishing, added an
other hundred millions to the BURDEN
Again, says Macaulay, was England Civ
en- over, but again she was more pros
porous than ever before. But when at
the close of her Napoleonic wars In 1916,
this debt had been swelled up to the
enormous sum of over eight hundred mil
lions sterling, or four thousand three
hundred million dollars, or nearly one
half the entire property of the United
Kingdom, the stoutest heart, the frmest
believer in national progress and national
development, might we'll have been ap-
palled. But in the very face of this
mountain of obligation,-to say nothing
of her vast colonial possessions, the pro-
perty of the British nation has been
more than trebled, and her debt is now a
charge of but 124 per cent. against it,
All that Great Britain has done in pay
ing her debt, we shall do, and more, with
ours. We have vast territories untouched
by the plow, mines of all precious metals
Of which we have hardly opened the doors,
population full Of life, energy, enterprises
and industry, and the accumulated wealth
of money and labor Of the old countries
pouring into the lap of our giant and e.
ver-to-be-united republic. During the
fiercest and most exhausting of all posi-
bic wars, We have demonstrated our ma.
tional strength-and all the world over
national strength is but another name fol-
national CREDIT GAS good as United
Stocks will soon be synonymous the
world over with Gas good as British
Consols." For our part, we think U
S. Treasury note, bearing seven and three.
tenths annual interest, is just as much
better than British Consols as the rate OF
interest is higher. Some of our timid
brethren, who shipped their gold to Lon
don and invested in consols, are now glad
to sell out and invest at home at round
loss, serves them right.

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1865-05-11

The first of June has been designated
by President johnson as day humilia-
tion and mourning for the death, by as
sassination, of our late President, Abra-
ham Lincoln. He calls upon the people
of our nation to humble themselves be-
fore God, in order that the bereavement
may be sancti6ed in their hearts. Cover
nor Curtin has seconded this appeal in
an official proclamation, requesting the
people of the Commonwealth to assemble
in their place Of worship, to render ser
vice to God in memory of the good man
who has been so suddenly taken away, so
that all may be occupied at the same time
in contemplating his uutimely and violent
death.

crnel General Halleck.

General Halleck has intlmated to the
inhabitants of Virginia what they have to
do to obtain the privilege of citizenship,
which they have forfeited. The idea OF
some of them, that they could resume bus
mess, and, while protected BY the United
States, remain hostile to them in sentiment,
is exploded. His order No. 4 intimates to
them that their promise to be loyal cit
izens will be prerequisite. County and
city clerks, lawyers and professional men
of all kinds must hold their tongues and
restrain their pens until they take the
oath of allegiance. Every person in bus
mess mnst do the same. Officers of corpo-
rations who have generally been disloyal
are also to be brought up by this test. No
one can have his private property restored
to him unless he shows his determination
to henceforth be loyal citizen. Goods
cannot be received or shipped by the
advocates of the rebellion. Finally, and
most grievous of all, no damsel can take
to herself lord and master and promise
to love, honor and obey him Unless she
first promises to love, honor and obey the
United States. The unfortunate swair
must also postpone his happiness unless
he takes the preparatory oath; and, har
der still, even if the codple comply with
these requisites, they cannot be married
unless by loyal minister. AS the wo
men of the South have been more bit
terly disloyal than the men. this announ
cement will come upon some of then
with the startling OBJECT Of clap of thun
der. They will have cause to lamen
more loudly than ever that 1.-THE course
of true love never did run smooth. Phil
