instructions from The anxious parents, 20
look for their lrndi-al son and send him

Facts About the Public Debt.

From the Baltimore Gazette, (Demosratic.)
The monthly statement of the public
debt, which is now reduced to less than
twenty-three hundred millions, shows
that its decrease in two years has been
over two hundred millions that its de-
crease since August, 1865, when it reached
the maximum, has been about four hun
dred and seventy-five millions; that the
decrease is continuing at the rate of eighty
millions year, more than the total annu-
al budget of this country few years be-
fore the breaking out of the war, and more
than its total debt in January, 1861, and
that the decrease, in annual interest charge
alone, is about fifteen millions.
Extraordinary as these figure are, they
seem to have ceased to attract much atten-
ton, so ephemeral are impressions in this
country. So rapidly, indeed, do people
pass from one sensation to another, that
the fact that there is public debt seems
almost to be forgotten. 1t attracted at
tentiOn only while it was sensation. AS
soon as the most undoubting were forced
to confess that the country could not only
pay its debt, but would pay it rapidly,
speculation ran wild on other subjects.
