the unfortunate debtor may be calculated
upon with certainty-theA creditor who
receives the usury becomes rich, but the
debtor who pays it is hopelsssly ruined.
And what is true of an individual. is not
less so when applied to a Nation which is
but an asscmblage of many individuals.
In his esteemed work on "The Wealth
OF Nations" the celebrated Adam Smith
remarks that the "Progress of the enor-
nous. debts which at present Cypress and
will in the long run probably ruin the
greet nations of Europe, has been pretty
Uniform"
THE DEBTS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND THE
UNITED STATES COMPARED.
One hundred and ninety eight years
ago, the foundation of the funded debt of
Great Britain was laid, and to-day it
amounts to eight hundred and five mil
hon pounds sterling, equal in our curren-
cy to three thousand eight hundred and
ninety-six millions two hundred thousand
dollars, and draws FROM 81 to 4 per cent.
interest, while the liquidated debt of the
United States, created within FIVE years,
will, on the 3Oth day of June, 1866,
amount to three billivn-that is, three
thousand million dollars-upon a consid-
erable proportion Of which the Govern
ment-that is the people-pays six per
cent. in gold, in semi-annual payments,
which is now equal to 10 per cent. in
~greenbacks. But when it is remembered
that one hundred thousand dollars worth
of bonds. were bought for fifty thousand
dollars in gold, it will be clear to every
one that the purchases receives twelve per
cent. interest in gold, or 20 per cent. in
paper money, on the amount Of his orig
iual Investment, which was fifty thousand
dellars. And who pays this immense in
@terest? The people-the farmer whose
land is mortgaged to secure the payment
Of the usury; the merchant, the manu-
f%acturer, the mechanic and laboring man,
whose skill and industry are mortgaged
to the Landowner.
Is it not evident, then, that We, as a
people, are %gallopiug on the road to ruiz!
Let the merchant or the manufacturer
say what would be his condition if he
had to pay 20 per cent. interest on his in.
debtedness.
1t is true that many good and worthy
men are bond-holders-they were forced
in self defense to invest in bonds; buI
they desire to see all bonds taxed like 9th
er property, and when the bonds of the
millionaire are trxed, they will be willing
to have theirs taxed also.

Nor is the National debt the only mort

enterprise and industry of the people.
The debts of the individual States
amount to at least two hundred million
