A INV WY To Par OLD DEBTS.


The Picayune insists that the way to re-
deem the city currency is togather it up by
taxation. That is to say the way for the city
to pay its debts is simply to deprive the ere
ditor of the evidence of the obligations
process about equivalent to direct repudia-
ton. It must be remembered that, unless
the taxes which are expected to absorb the
outstanding notes amount to more than the
expenses of the city, nothing will be accom-
plished toward lquidating the debt. If the
cost of conducting the city government for a
year is 81 600 900, then 81 100000 must be
paid out during the year; and if nothing but
city money is collected, nothing but city
money can be paid, and, consequently, the
debt, at the end of the time, will be just as
large as it was before. What the citizen owes
to the government is his proportion Of fair
expenditure. To that extent his indebtedness
may be considered legitimate offset of the
city's liabilities TO him.
When the government attempts to extort
more than this it simply commits robbery;
and to say that such extortion is, in any
sense, the payment of debt, is an abuse of
language, and perversion of justice. The
Picayune asserts that the city never guaran-
teed to redeem its money in any other way
than to receive 1t for taxes. This, in fact, is
no redemption at all, as we have shown. If
the taxes are equal in amount to the ex-
| penses of the government, then the money
must be paid out again. If they exceed the
expenses then the city merely robs the people
under pretense of paying them. The process
of paying one debt by contracting another is
sometimes advantageous-at all events it is not
a shameless swindle. But the plan of paying
a man what you owe him by taking his
money away from him, is a method SO
! admirably simple and efficacious that the in
ventor ought to get out patent for it al
once. But the city has agreed to redeem
its issues Just as any debtor agrees to pay his
debts. Its notes are promises to pay on de-
mand; and they were received by people who
supposed that they would be paid, If not Oh
demand, at least within some reasonable
time. The proposal to "let them sweat" is
confession of bankruptcy; and the projec
of taxing them out of existence is ever
worse. If man should propose to pay hii
promissory note, by taking the note ava!
from its owner, he would be derided as {
lunatic, or denounced as a knave. Yet thu
is precisely the way in which the Picayun'
proposes that the city of New Orleans shal
pay its debts. So eficacious a plan ought a
once to be adopted by all governments which
are involved in large liabilities. Gather il
the bonds, the greenbacks, the city money
the certificates of Indebtedness, the Stat
money. the treasury warrants ;call it taxation
and ask the world to behold and admire thi
new and patent plan of paying old debts.
