TO the sinking fund. In q few years the
sixtv millions of annual payment Will
swell to one hundred millions irom the
saving ofinterest, and the debt viii quick
ly melt away and disappear, Just as dld tne
debt of the Revolution and of the second
war with England. This is the Repupn-
can plan of paying the national deDt.
Now, what is the method proposeef by the
Democratic partyP The Times says 1ts
party "points out a way" In searching
the Democratic platform we can hno
nothing on the subject except this
InirS Payment e the public aeet al 81 mo, uns
neys drawn from the people BY taxation, excepteo
much as is requisite for the necessities ofthe gov
ernment, being honestly applied 70 suen PaS-
It will be seen that this method is sub
stantially the same, as far as u goes, as
that previously laid down in the RepubLi-
can platform, viz application of surplus
taxes TO the payment OF the debt and
economy in the expenditures c. money Ior
support OF the Government But tDe
Democratic plan omits one very important
proposition contained in the Republican
platform-redpoti0a Of he rate Of interest
on the bonds, by improving the national
credit The Democratic platform is there
fore greatly inferior TO that declared Dy
the Republicans The method proposed
by the latter gives the proper answer TO
" the question that every one wants 10
know" How shall the debt be paid, viz.
BY economy, surplus taxes, and reduction
OF the rate of interest.
The Times declines TO consider the ques-
tion "who caused the debt" We COM
mend its prudence, as II IS an ugly ques-
tion for its party TO face. An answer TO
It, however, would be: That the national
debt was caused by a rebellion OF the
Southern Democrats, who sought to de-
stroy the Union, and that 1t is twice as
large as 1t would have been If the North
ern Copperheads had not opened " FIRE
in the rear" upon the Unionists, who were
engaged in suppressing the revolt OF
the Democratic insurgents. The debt, In
the Language of Chief Justice Cha9e in his
charge to the West Virginia Grand Jury,
is the price of our national existence, and
can easiest and quickest be discharged by
the mode proposed in the Republican
national platform. Chicago Tribune.

How Shall the Debt be Paid 7

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 paidf-ths proper answer to this ques-
ton Is what every one wants to know.
The Democratic party points out the way TO pay
way not to pay It. This is eTactly the difference
between the two parties on the debt question
ChiodQ0 Times,
The Republican party in its platform
points out the best and most feasible way
to pay the national debt. Section 5 says
that the national debt, contracted for the
preservation of the Union, should be ex-
tended over a fair period for redemption,
and 1t is the duty of Congress to reduce
the rate of interest thereon whenever it
can be honestly done. Section says that
the best way to diminish our burden of
debt is to 80 improve our credit that cap
italists will loan us money at lower rates
of interest than we now pay. Section
says that the government should be ad-
ministered with the strictest economy,
and that the corruptions fostered by An.
drew johnson call for radical reform.
Section denOunces all forms of repudia.
tion as a national crime, and declares that
the national honor requires the payment
OF the debt according to the letter and
spirit Of the laws under which it was con-
tracted.
In the face OF these plain declarations,
1t requires considerable hardihood on the
part of the most mendacious and untruth-
full partisan journal TO make the assertion
that the Republican party points out no
way 10 pay the debt"
BY reducing the rate of interest from six
per cent. down TO four and half, which
the Republicans confidently expect to ef-
feet, ip the event of the election of Grant
and COlfax, there will be a saving of thir-
ty millions year in gold, and this large
sum a Republican administration will de-
vote TO purchasing and cancelling bonds.
The Republican administration will also
devote every dollar of surplus revenue
derived from taxation to the same purpose.
Suppose the latter sum shall be thirty
millions year, which, added TO the
saving of interest aforesaid, will make a
fund of sixty millions to be applied in
liquidation OF the debt When sixty mil
lions Of debt ispaid of, there will he three
millions less interest to pay the next year,
and this saving can also be appropriated
