American Debt.

Bfaehtr00d'S Magazine, and other
high tory organs of Great Britain.
are engaged in magnifying the Fed
erai and State debts of the people Of
this country, They pile up the debts
q the states and cities to fabulous
amounts, making them equal to the
National debt, and calling the latter
5000 millions, they compute the ag>
gregate at 5000 millions. Now the
truth is that the Federal debt
amounts TO 1926 millions, and the
State, city ond county debts do not
exceed $50 millions, making total
OF ), l76 millions, divided among &c..
100000 ofthe most energetic, thrifty,
and wealth-producing people in the
world
The British writer's come to the
| eonelusl on that these debts can new
or pc paid, but must be repudiated;
and therefore 10 British capitalist
should invest dollar iii American
stocks, and those who hold any Amer
ieau securities are advised to sell
them for the best price they can
realize Tor them. 1t makes very lit
Tie difference to Americans whether
British holders OF orr bonds act on
this adplce or not. Nine-tenths Of
all our National, State and municipal
bonds are held and owned by our
own citizens and the Germans hold
moro than half Of the residue; and
whenever the British want to sell
their American stocks ut discount,
they will find purchasers for them in
Germany and the United States.
