WORTH Thinning Or.-Ihis
country is staggering under an enor-
nous load Of public debt. The Fed
erai Government owes two billions
and half; the States owe large
amounts: while Counties, Cities and
Townships, have each their several
burdens. We are paying, in the
aggregate, not less than three hun
dit'i millions per annun as interest
on these various debts, while we are
considerably reducing the principal,
especially of the local obligations
incurred in providing bounties for
the volunteers in our last struggle.
Altogether, the taXes paid by the
people of the United States, though
considerably reduced from the max
imam they attained in 1866. must
probably exceed five hundred mil.
lions per annum. Almost every
thing Is taxed, from the baby's pos
set to the old mans cottin--many
things twice and thrice over. 1t is

may be rcadjustcd and simplilicd.

are being improved ; new farms are
being hewn out OF the forest and
