This fearful increase of the Public
Debt, 3s9,672 DOLLARS per day
-l6,236 DOLLARS per hour
over 27O DOLLARS per minute,
and of l6 DOLLARS every time
the clock ticks second, is well calcu-
lated to alarm people, already crushed
to the very earth with taxation to pay
the interest.
One of the best printing presses driv-
en- BY steam and running uninterrupt-
edly day and night, could net print in
one dollar bills enough greenbacks to
keep up with this terrible and useless
increase of the burthers of the people.
1t will cost the people of the United
States SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWEEN
TY -FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUN
DRED AND SEvENTY-NINE DOL
LARS AND NINETY-TWO. CENTS, in
gold, to pay the annual interest on this
increase of the public debt, in
CURED in the short space of thirty one
days. If the Government is forced to
90 into market to purchase gold to pay
this interest, it will, at the ruling rate
of coin, cost s2l7, ,433 81 in greenbacks,
which, when added to the interest, will
swell the amount to NINE HUNDRED
AND FoRTY-Two THOUSAND TWO HUN
DRED AND THIRTEEN DOLLARS AND
EIGHTY-NINE CENTS, which the people
will have to pay, each and every year,
as penalty for this prohigate increase
of the public debt in one single month,
besides, in the end, having to pay the
principal.
FRAUD ON THE INTERNAL REVENUE.
