as follows There has been no im mportsnt
progress made in the siege up to the lst Of

OFFICIAL CITY g. COUNTY PAPER
Who Pays the Public Debt

The radical press and radical orators are
taking great merit to themselves for the
payment OF few millions of the public debt
every month since Grants administration
came into powor. We'll, let Us admit thai
q Ger ain nun bsr of interest bearing bouds,
say $3.50 900, 600 in ell, have been paid.
What we're these bonds actually worth, and
what were the terms of the contract upon
which this debt was created? They were
worth lust about $3.50 900 900. As they
were legally payable in greenbacks, they
have been paid IN gold, and hence S20, 900.
900 have peen squandered. The interest
on the amount of the bonds cancelled for
ever, hence there has indeed been an I'M ury
done to the national finance rather than a
benefit by this financial operation, for which
radicals claim so much credit
But again. Where did this Sl50,0O0 900
OF gold come from with which to redeem
these bonds? 1t came from the revenue of
customs. About one sixteenth of the goods
USED IN this country, upon which there is a
heavy duty, are manufactured abroad, or in
other words, pay duty into the treasury
The other fifteen sixteenths pay no duty
But the price the people pay for the articles
consumed is JUS: as much as if the whole of
the articles consumed were manufactured
opio"e. LAouCo w get tHis SioO.VVU,uuU OF
gold into the treasury to pay the debt with
$50, ,000,O Of which were squandered as
above noted, the people had to pay about
$500, 900 10000 more into the hands of the
manufacturers, The footing up, therefore
OF the whole matter, will show thar the
people, IN order to pay for $3.50, 900 900 Of
bonds, worth $3.50, ,000,0 in gold, $500,
900 .000.-This is the plain and actual
statement of this splendid fnanciering for
which the radicals claim credit. Since this
financial scheme ID being ventilated by the
democratic press and democratic speakers
We do rot hear so much about the payment
OF the public debt. At the same rate the
manufacturing monopoies of this country
will lmpoverish the whole land in few
mora vesrs of radical rule. If there is net
a change to q more honest administration of
the finances OF the country the people will
become beggared and the nation totally
