Four hundred and seventy millions to be
rnised by taxation! Our present heavy taxes
will In ordinary years produce but little 1norc
than half that su1n. Can our people bear
necessarily causes 1t will be accursed from
generation to generation. It Is fashionable
to belittle our public debt, lest the people
should become alarmed, and political parties
should tut1er. ! have never found 1t wise 10
deceive tho people. They can always be
he Affected; for they cannot be deceived.
Contide In the people and you will avoll re-

debt Of Great Britain Is just about as much as
ours-s4, ,coo, COO four billions. But in elect
It Is but huff as large; 1t beaTs but three per
cent interest. The current year, the Chancel~
Tor OF the Exchc4ner tells us, til. interest was

our debt. The balance could be mntagcd
with our present taxation.
