dividuals.
The peCuniary condition Of a
government and the pecuniary con
dition Of an individual are two very
different things. A government
may h ave Io measure in its ic,
aud small prospect Of any, and yet
the people whom it, really or nomi-
nally, represents may be, taken in
dividually, rich in an uncommon
measure. There is nothing strange
in this contrast. 1t is ma ural and
logical. A government which is
poor relatively to the wealth diffu-
sed among the people living under
it, is a government respecting
which that people may well be con-
graduated. Poverty in this rela-
tive and restricted sense is one of
the surest signs of positive and ex-
tended opulonce. A"pOor govern
ment, a rich gOvernmen a poor
people" are maxims which every
sound political economist under
stands aud is prepared to incul-
cate.
The United States Goyernmen.
has a far less wealthy tax paying
population than the British Gov
ernment has. Yet the revenue OF
the former is about the same as
the revenue Of the latter; and the
former makes a pompous parade
# carrying from year to year 4"
hundred millions of surplus in Its
treasury, while the latte is al
fed if it can meet from year to yeaI
the current demands upon it
treasury, and is careful, when sur
luses occur, to restore them to the
people by reducing taxes.
No rational person viii contend
hat this country, considered a
large, enjoys at this day as grea'
u degree of material prosperity -
it nioyed twelve years ago. Its
Nh i n Government, how ' r, IN
point of fiscal receipts and posses
sions is about four times lichei
now than it was then. Itis perfect
IL in keeping with this vast increase
ot public affluence that the average
private citizen finds ii vastly more
difficult to live in substantial com
fort, o accumulate wealth, or to
strengthen bis credit. His mate
rial enjoyment is stinted, his thrift
il bafied, his credit weakened, his
prospects are clOuded BY the ex-
cessive taxation required to sus ain
q phlethoric public revenue and to
bolster up 4 strained and abused
public credit.
The popular intelligence is gra-
dually awakening to the vital prin-
oiples and the MON, ntops facts
which We have briefly indicated.
Still there is a dangerous theory
abroad which reg lrds the revenue
and the credit Of individuals as
bound up il some mysterious way
With the revenue aud the r'dit Of

must Oeleye that private pTOspeTi-
ty is measured By the extent to
which the public credit may be
pushed in the money-lending
world, and that its very founda-
tons would be overthroWn by|
whatever should deprive even the
worst rulers of the ability to bor-
row in the name Of the govern
ment. In short, we must believe
that a public debt, though con-
tracted for the sole aggrandizement
Of banded swindlers and plunder-
ers, and though as towering as Pc
lion upon Ossa, and as heavy as
Etoa upon the breast of EuCsla-
dus, is aprivate blessing, il the on
ly alternative is the paralysis Of the
public credit in hands that have
corruptly and recklessly abused it.
We may perhaps more properly
give the name of superstition to be
idea which would attach taint to
the character Of every citizen Of
State whose finances have come to
such q pass, under mismanagement
and corruption, as to involve inn
mediate or remote, complete or
partial repudiation; for We can
scarcely concede it the intellectual
dignity of a fallacious theory. To
be sure, it is no pleasant thing iIr
one TO be reminded that he is .
citizen Of an insOlyent and repudia-
ting State; but it is not more IN
pleasant than the consciousness OF
being citizen Of State govern
I'd, as to revenue, as to c'edit, and
as to debt wholly in The interest
If conspiracy of rogues and rob
bers. The shame If the thing il
in the system, not the logical Incl
dent; in the rulers whose unWar-
rantablr and proaigate course ne
G, ssitated some kind. OF form, or
,legree of repudiation, not in Che
mass of hardworking taxpayers
who can not discharge mountains
II fraudul,n! mortgages upon their
industry. In cases where the pub
lie credit is used only o bad ends,
and implies a progressive augmen-
tation Of taxes, the sooner it Is lost
the better; for the loss of il is at
least a negative blessing, when
that loss, however deplorable, IS
the sole effective cure Of an intole-
rable evil
How far the citizen must Be at-
feoted BY the odium ot his repudia-
ting government, We take to be .
question for she circumstances of|
each par icular case to determine.
An industrious and candid student
Of history could not easily put his
finger upon q single government
Of modern Europe which has not
to some extent rspudiated Obliga-
tions contracted OF incurred ii its

by the French repub-
Ia of some millions aud billions of
