The spendthrift Policy.

The public debt, on the 3lst day Of July,
1855, was stated by the secretary Of The
treasury to be S2,7j7, 100000 On the LIST
day Of August, 1868, it was stated by the
same authority to be S2,G33, 900, 900. Du.
ring the intervening three years, there was
received into the treasury from internal
taxes and duties, the sum Of 81 $4,000, 900.
This is not all that the people were made to
pay; for the prodigious amount Of stealing
by corrupt revenue officials is not included
in the sum. The sum named is the amount
Of money actually paid into the national
treasury during the three years ending with
last July. And, with this vast revenue, the
secretary was able to reduce the debt only
$l2i, 100000. Leaving $l,i70,000,OO0 ~
the cost of the government during the three
years Of Jacobin rule since the last rebel
army surrendered and the national volun.
teer, were paid off and sent home.
Shall We ever pay the debt if this thing
be continued? The question is in eyeEy
prudent mans mind, and impels him to ex.
claim, "l4et us have peace'
Everything tends to prove the utter hope
lcssncss of getting rid of the debt if the
bonding interest be continued in power

was at Il premium i'll lawful money Of only
% cents in the dollar Now, when the debt
is $2,633 ,0O0, 000, gold is at premium of
IS cents in the dollar. There is nothing at
all surprising in the fact One billion five
hundred and ninety.fOur millions of dollars
of revenue received, and only $l24,O0O,OOO
OF debt paid, tells the whole story. A ma
ton whose entire property of every imagin-
able kind is only 4,OOO,OOO,O0O, which
receives revenue of 594,0OO,0O0 in
three years, and spends $l,470,OOO,OOO
Of the amount in carrying on its gov
eminent, can hardly be expected to main.
tain its credit on a debt of near three bill.
