srH oUEsrroS. How does the Governnent
raise the money to pay the interest, and is
it safe and surei
ANSWER. The Government oellscte. by tazes,
internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully
three hundred millions each year. This is
nearly three times as much as is needed to
pay the interest en- all the debt, and as sosn
as the war is ended, tbs amount not nesded
to pay the interest viii be used in paying of
the debt. 0UR GevENMENn mas TWICE PAID OFF
ALL rrs DEBT, and can easily do so again. The
interest," is sure to be paid promptly, and the
debt itself is the very safest investment in
the world. It is, in fact, q First Mortgage on
all lands, all incomes, all railroad and canal
bends, and bank or other stocks, mort
gAeas, &c. ssssEsf J
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound
for il, and all that we have is firmly held for
the payment Of principal and interest. How
foolish those people are, who keep their gold
and greenbaeks idle and locked up. or pur-
chase mortgages or railroad stocks and bonds,
