10 intelligent ,Aen, there can be but
one answer: We are drifting to repu-
dlatlon, and the moneyed aristocracy
of the national debt-the very men
whose interests are most jeopardized
are so blind that they are practi-
cally helping to accelerate, not check,
our course in this downward direc-
ton. We need the industry and
enormous possible products of the
lately revolted States to help us in
bearing our heavy burden. We need
confidence and calm-wc need in
terHai harmony, and, above all, we
need a return to unquestioned supre-
macy Of the civil laws and constitu-
tlonal restraints, if our debt is not to
be repudiated within the next half
score of years
Financial prosperity was secured
up to within recent period; but
already the delicate fabric of public
credit-a house of cards at best-be-
gins to totter under the conclusion of
the various revolutionary ideas which
have been recently exploited on the

appointed for their adjudication? Re-
