is supposed New York would take
about one quarter ofthe whole amount.
With shares at $4,000 each the first
quarter to be raised would be muchthe
easiest, and the project could never be
realized. But why not put the shares
down as low as $40 each? 1t strikes

The project may indeed be sailed
magnificent. And yet it is but paying
out by one hand to save the other. We,
the people of these United States, must
pay this debt, sooner or later. The
debt looks big, and it is big, but this is
a great country, and let every man con-
tribute what would be, in most cases,
but mite, and this immense indebted
ness will roll away like morning cloud

having obtained employment elsewhere,
She then became very detected, believ

her time in tears. Yesterday morning
