The Chicago Tribune gives the
following as the reasons for the
defeat of tho bill for funding the
national debt:
The Secretary of the Treasury de-
clares that, unless he is allowed by
this bill to force people to lend him
money at per cent. he cannot bor-
row dime at that rate, and the bill
is worthless. Now, Mr.. Speaker, if
Secretary Boutwell, is allowed to
force anybody to lend him money at
4 per cent. or ct any other rate, he
can never borrow again at any rate
of interest, and tho bill is pornicious.
Since the choice, at present, is be-
tween a bill that is worthless and one
that is pernicious, would it not DO
we'll to wait until y funding bill is
needed, which will DO when money
can be borrowed at lower rates OF
interest, without tho use of either
force or fraud7

niged one hundred diameters, and could be
bought for 81, thought it was one OF the

microscope not long before. But now find

which lie in little things to save his money
until he has S2.75, which will pay for the mi
