The New York Sun warns it's readers not to
take the hectic flush Of seeming prosperity
for The. bloom of real personal or national
health. It, therefore, soberly and wisely says: !:
The Government is in debt twenty
hundred millions Of dollars-all contracted
within the last five years. Every dollar OF that
debt, which bears interest, IS distributed among
the people, and every tax payer must bear
share of the burden, according to the taxable
valuation Of his property. 1t matters not how
much of this interest is paid by direct tax, or
how much in the way Of internal revenue, IN
one way or another it all rests upon the people,
and the country at large is just the said twenty
seven hundred million dollars poorer that it
would have been without the war, to say moth
ing of the general wastage Of resources. How
is it, then, that We are apparently richer,
while in reality great deal poorer, than before
the rebellion? TIE truth is, that our present
condition is unnatural, baseless, transitory.
The war created an artificial prosperity which,
although we'll enough for individuals who
made hay while the sun shone, was ficti-
tious and unreal so far as the country was
concerned
