The Debt of the two Wars.

The following striking comparison,
made by Secretary Boutwell,, between
the Revolutionary debt and the presen
/ one, will be read with interest, if not
surprise:
At the close Of the revolutionary war
the interest bearing debt Of the country
was about SO, ,ooo 900. The population
/ Of the country was less than three mil
I lions, but, accepting that number As the
nearest approximation to truth, the
debt averaged SO to each person. The
present interest. bearing debt Of the
United states can he put at about So
100 900, 900, and it is not unreasonable to
ertima,e the present population at A.
100000. The debt, therefore, average.
500 for each person. It is safe to assume.
also, that the property of the country,
in proportion to its population, estima-
ted at its gold value, is more than three
even. II we assume the value or prop
erty in 1870 to have been equal to three
hundred dollars for esfs inhabitant, il
would be proper to estimate the sggre-
gate property Of the country at the pres
ent moment to be at least one thousand
dollars for each inhabitant, or an agyre-
gate Of nine hundred millions of dollars
at the former period against forty-two
thousand millions at the present time.
But whether these estimates Of the az
gregate property at the two different:
periods be correct or not, it cannot he
we'll denied that the present average is
more than three times the average of
1890. The result il that at the former
period the debt was eight and three
tenths per cent, while at the present
time it is only five percent of the prop.
erty of the country. This estimate is ut
best but an approximation to the truth;
yet relatively, it is an under estimate
rather than air over estimate of the
present resources. l cannot doubt that
it was as difficult for Mr. Jefferson's ad.
rninistration and tor the people of the
country to reduce the the debt during
his term at the rate Of three aud a half
millions per annum, rs it is for US to
reduce the debt at tire rate Of one hun
dred millions per annum. From 1901
to 1909 the country was subjected TO al!
the taxation which those in power
dared impose, for the reduction ui the
debt was q leading feature OF Mr.. Jstlag.

True Pride-An Anecdote.

A young man named Parks, from
Worcester, entered the store of the
Lawrences, in Boston, and found Amos
in the office. He represented himself
as having just commenced business,
and desired to purchase Il lot of goods.
He had recommendations AS to char
acter from several influential citizens of
Worcester, bat mono touching his busi-
ness standing, or capacity. The msr-
chant listened to his story, and, at its
close, shook hts head.
II have no doubt" he said kindly.
"that you have full faith in your ability
topromptly meet the obligations you
wouldnow assume; but have no knowi-
edge OF your tact or capacity; and, as
you admit, you are just launching forth
upon the sea of business. l should be
doing you Injustice to allow you to con-
tract debt which did not feel assured
you could pay at the proper time."
But Mr.. Lawrence liked the appear
anee ef the young man, and finally let
him have what goods he could pay for
at the cost of manufacture--about ten
per cent less than the regular wholesale
price. The bill was made out, and paid,
and the clerk asked where the goods
should be sent.
II will take them myself" said the
purchaser "a
you'll find them rather heavy" said
the clerk, smiling.
