JAMES 0oRpos BENNETT, ESQ.,
DEAR sn-Mspy propositions have been sent to you
with reference to paying or the national debt and as
this Il prassworthy undertaking let me mako pro.
posa which think will meet your views better than any
other yet laid before you, account Of its being the
best parts Of all the propositions heretofore made
I would recommend that two subscription books be
opened in every prominent city in tho Unon the one to
be called the senior subscription Of one thousand dollars
per SHARE and the other the Junior subscription Of ton
dollars per shars-those not able 10 take thou
sand share to take many ten dollar shares they
feel able TO do and wealthy men 10 take many thou
sand dollar shares they choose This Is much better
than forming clubs to make up shares, and propose
that agents DO appointed voluntary they can bs Oh
ained receive subscriptions; that each give his
coma fde note TO pay demand and that his NAME
cupaon residence and amount be placed the faco Of
tho note or IL cash paid the trustee be compelled
give his receipt for the amount and In either have
the daily transactions, In item and name published In
two or three Of the most prominent papers OF the place.
that monthly returns be made from oil agents and
published In tho HERALD.
also propose in order encourage the matter that
40 srfnr
other designate themono TO be presented to every
subscriber, his name and tho number Of shares and
to his country Each person, when subscribing should
receive, when he pays up, receipt which entities him
to the engraving when done People are afraid 70 pay
their money hap hazard but these propositions land as
many more will mako them more invting) should be
brought before them they could and would in less than
ninety days pay OF the whole debt and save ourselves
BY giving the public these hints In any manner you
choose You Will much obise one who will 40 AL ne can
