The N ational Debt Source of Nation
al Prosperity.

The Dayton Empire makes practical
demonstration of the sillness Of the re-
mark in Lincoln's message, that the ma
tiona! debt was q substantial source of
private and national prosperity. 1t says I:
If debt were property" how easy it
would be for individuals to become rich as
the Rolhschilds And if a national debt
is mot oppressive " because & the people
owe i, to ,hemsslves,' it would be the par,
Of wise economy to permi, the nation u
construcl all our railroads, build all our
houses, cultivate all our lands, and, in
short, be at the expense, Of whatever in
wolves an outlay of money in any enter
prise or in any branch Of business. The
debt thus created would be substantial
property" ard the bigger of course the
better; and the people would "readiy
perceive tha. they could no. be much op-
pressed by debt which they owe to them
selves"
We may illustrate the whole matter in
the case Of a family. Suppose six broth
ers inherit 5000 each-making in the
aggregate $4,000. OF tie six, one is
prudent, cautious, sharp and unscrupulous
The others are idle, profligate, and unfor,
tunate In the course Of years the thrifty
brother, BY one resort or another, has OBJ
tanned a mortgage Of s2 500 upon The es-
late Of his brolhers, upon which they each
have to pay him $3.50 annual interest
Now, we can well imagine the unfortunate
holder Of the mortgage proclaiming that
the wealth Of the family is hot diminished :;
that :hs family are quite as rich as ever
they were that the debts are wholly
owing to themselves, &c Eu. the FIVE
lUckless fellows, who keep their noses TO
the g'indstone all the year round to pay
interest: who are abe 10 make no i'm
proyement oftheir property and who are
constrained to deny themselves even neces-
sares Of life to meet their obligations, are
unable toappreciate or enjoy the family
prosperity. of which the mor,gager of their
possessions. and the recipient of the earn
ings Of their toll, makes such loud boast
This is an exact illustration of the Lin
colniap fallacy under consideration. The
lands, and lots. and goods and chattels Of
ninety-nne Of our peuple will be under
bond and mortgage to pay an oppressive
sum in the shape Of interest, to fortune
one of each hundred Of the whole popu-
lation, Still" the aggregate wealth ofthe
whole nation is not diminished" The
lucky holder Of bonds will esteem the debf
" substantial property" But whether the
oebt which the people thus owe to them
selves will no. be oppressive, the tax pay
ing seasons Of S65, and future years will
determine

The New Atlantic Cable.

The new Atlantic cable, now nearly
completed in England is wonder OF me
chanlcel skill. There are seven copper
wires TO form the conductor. The entire
length Of the telegraph will be 1890 miles,
90 this. there are 160 600 miles of copper
wire. Every portion Of this copper wire
i' subjected to electrical tests to ascertain
its quality for conduclion before it is al
lowed to be worked up. The next stage
is 10 coat these wires with eight success
sive coats of the insulating material, equal
to an aggregate length of l0,40O miles.
This coat is next covered with jute wound
round it from ten strands making % 900
miles Of juse yarn. Then comes the cutter
coating formed Of the ten covered iron
wires The iron wire itself is 5000
miles in length, and each wire is covered
separately with five strands of tarred
hemp, $4,000 miles Of the latter being
required, making together an aggregate
length Of material employed OF Ok, 500
miles, or very nearly as much as would
put ten girdles around the earth, O! form
a line that would stretch almost from the
earth to the moon.
A letter from GEO. SAwARp, ESQ sec
re.ary and general agent of the Atlantic
telegraph company, TO CYHUs w. FIELD
after aluding to tho absolute electrical!
perfection Of the cable now being manu-
featured, states the amount completed up
to the 30tb Of December at $50 miles.
The cable is now being manufactured at
The rate of so miles per week, without.
hurry and without night work. Ii will be
finished by the first week in June There
are two tanks on board the Great Eastern
for the stowage Of the cable, and the
third is rapidly progressing. There is 20
reason to doubt that the cable will all be
on board and the great ship ready for sea,
with every appliance of the kind and in
the best order, during tue month of June
Mr.. Saward has nc doubt that the cable
will be successfully laid and worked.
