listing a couple of centuries old, in the
margin Of which hem, hem is written, to

different parts of the margin-'Here fall

uWhO created the public debt?' is a

"Who created the public debt?' is q
favoritc question among the organs of the
bondholders' party.
q. Unquestionably the bondholders them
selves created very large portion of the
debt by their mischieyous speculations in
gold. And they are not willing to be
taxed to help pay even chat portion Of the
debt which they created.
But the question to be answered is not
who created the debt nor how the debt
was created. The debt exists that every
one knows. How shall the debt be paid
the proper answer to this question is
what every one wants to know.
The democratic party point out the
way to pay the debt. The republican par
ty point out the way not to pay it. This
is-sexactly the difference between the two
parties on the debt question. As to "who
created the debt" it cannot make the
slightest difference to any taxpayer
whether there be any difference between
the two parties or not. And none but
very ancient political fossils of the Bour-
bon variety care whether there be, on that
question, any difference. Men who are
not cropping among the musty relics of
antiquity want to know how the country
is to be extricated from present evils
not how it got into them.
