The Secretary Of the Treasury makes the
remarkable confession, that, if the people had
Only foreseen the vast expenditure of this
war, thny would never have engaged in it
he says, in speaking Of the war in its COIN
Increment
Hal it then been forcscen that what was
believed To be a contest for months was to
be continued for years, and that hundreds Of
millions Of public debt woul be swollen into
thousands of millions before the close of that
contest, it may well be doubted whether, ir-
np"ant as they were Of their own immense
resources, the people might not have shrunk
appalled, from an undcrtak ing which con:em-
plated sacrifice so far exceeding all former
experience"
This draws from him the remark that it
was fortunate the people were so ignorant
Hear him:
"Un9ccnstomed for long course of years
to great national ,tfarts, it was fortunate that
their power Of endurance should be tested
only by degrees, as the struggle which Proyi
dence had prepared for them developed its
vast proportions; and the necessity of fgreat
and long continued effort became apparent, u
We never before heard of national short
