At the present time it is over SOC, 0O0, 900
or in American money, il il something over
$4,000. 900 900, or in round numbers we ma
call it "a, 000, 100000. Il will be seen from
this statement that this debt OF u ,000, 000,-
Geo, was over a century in being contracted,
and il will AS be noticed that it increased
in an increasing proportion. In 1911 this
debt was &Sl sos .OS2, or EXPRESSED In our
own currency, $780,, llO,773 60, and on
this enormous sum the English workingms-
has been paying interest for over half q een-
fury. Now il we want to know the effect OF
this debt, interest and taxation on the Eng
lish workman, we can find it by comparing
the taxes Of two different periods. In the
year l70l, the yearly amount Of taxes was
G4,2l2,35S, or about 81, 06l, 790. In 1909,
the yearly amount Of taxes was 97O,260,-
226, or 1851 POI, l30. In 1892 there tcere
no poor rates. At the present time the yearly
amount Of poor rates, if my authority be
correct, is $40, 000, 900. Thus we see that
with the increase of debt comes a cores
ponding increase Of taxation and pauperism.
Now, my purpose in parading this state-
ment Of the English debt ana its effect ON
taxation and pauperism, before your readers,
10 to show them that debt-National Debt,
is the precursor Of pauperism. 1t may be

how the same pans and schemes were in

England, and its effect in taxation and
pauperism, as indicated BY the poor rates.
hope our Acknowledged viii find the
subject Of this letter sufficiently Interesting
to study the facts set forth there, and trace
through them the present condition of the
English industrial class. La my next we
will take a peep at the American debt and
it's possible effects.
