HOW TO PAY TIE N1TION4L DEBT
TO the razor Of TAe Trtbune.
SIR: Your encouraging letter of Dec. 30
was duly received
The question Is: How 10 discharge a var debt
without burdeDing the pcoplel"
Our Congress wisely decided that, practically the mill
tary age was between % and IS. Very good and per
fecty sound in theory for between these lies the
greatest military vgor and ability to render the service
This them established class from which to draft the
men of war With just much prOprety, they might have
established paying class OF whom should that class
consi II all the property in the United States in 1860
had been equally divided among the people, there would
have been about t0 TO each Exempt all persona who
have exceed that amount and from all those who
have above it draft the sinews of war The logic
good in this case in the former. Lot how this
would operate. Money rules, and wealth ia but the pro-
duct of ignorant many accumulated into the hands
OF the crafty few
In the first place the poorer class would he forced into
the army a usual, and the richer class, being called
upon to furnish money would have instituted less Law
ish expenditure. The would have been prosecuted
more vigorously TO the end and, when there would
have been immense National Debt hanging like "A
milestone about tho laboring mans neck. Thus
the war,taX would be paid, not out Of the
National Treasury any more than the military ser
vice but out OF the pockets Of those who had
more than an average share. War, thus administered
would have direct tendency 10 bring about Liberty
Equality and Fraternity; and we might with the rapture
of the poet eXclam. Yea, carnage is thy daughter"
have now laid before you the outlines Of my scheme
and omtting much dr8pery, have held up the naked
truth thinking your phlOsOphic mind would be
captiyated with clear view Of her solid parts than with
anv amount OF silly conccament. Should refuse
10 take any stock In this concern, have still another
scheme for paying the National Debt In about five years
without imposing cent additional tax upon the peo
pie. You must take stock in that. Yours.

Comments BY The Tribune.
Mr. Frisbie profiered us a plan for ektin-
gushing the National Debt without taxing the
People. We agreed to consider what he had
to say, without any faith in it. 1t is accord
ingly given above. And now comes our turn.
We DO not know that we shall be able to con-
vince Mr.. f. that his is the project of a fool
as well as knave, but we will make the
attempt quite sure that, should he dissent
from our conclusion, he vii! stand in a small
minority.
l. The key of his position is his assumption
that "Wealth is the product of the ignorant
"many, accumulated into tho hands of the
crafty few."-Suppose this were true, can
you imagine that those smart enough thus 10
get everything ara not smart enough to keep
tf If they are, is not your scheme manifest

lished the guilt of the offenders The policy
of President Grant is, a positive one; it has
been repeatedly announced in public docu-
ments; and no intelligent army officer can
plead ignorance of its purport. If Gen. Stone
man, or some other prominent officer who
attempts to nullify that policy, should be
properly punished for his insubordination,
there would doubtless be fewer offenders.
The peaceful policy with the tribes in the
Indian Territory has been too successful to
cause us to wish for a return to that relent-
less and murderous one which exterminated
the Piegans and neither reformed nor
frightened any of the other Rocky Mountain
tribes

Comments By The Tribune.
Is it not amazing, in this day of light and
knowledge, that one who has access to news
paper columns can mislead the blind after the
above fashion!
The misfortune of thousands of poor labor
"ing men" is just this They persist in seeking
or pretending to seek, work where IL is not in
stead of going (or staying) uhere IL IS. They
are needed to fence new farms, for themselves
and others, out of the great Plains or Prairies
or to hew them out of the primitive forests
and to improve and cultivate more thoroughly
the farms already begun. They are needed to
mine Coal, and dig Ore, and smelt Iron, and
80 produce from Our own soil the Metals and
Wares we now import from Europe. Instead
of doing such work, whereby the present and
prospective wealth of our country would
be signally augmented, they see fit to
crowd into the cities, where they go whining
about for work as beggar might
for cast-off clothing. and complain that they
cannot find it where it is not and should not
be They might as well hudde on the top of
Mount Washington, and telegraph down that
they were suffering intensely for food and
clothing What The Herald proposes is to
support and confirm them in their evil ways,
making them parasites and dependents ever
more. Since the downfall of Baron Hauss-
mann and his master, this sort of philanthropy,
political economy, or whatever you please to
consider it, ought to have been decently buried
for ever

How Shs Went Tor Him.

A Berlin correspondent of the
Nation relates the following Incl
dent that came under his observa-
tion:
On the entry of one of the Mentz
regiments (the Eighty-seventh,
which is recruited in Nassau, l
witnessed little incident which is
worth being narrated here. The
regiment was on its way to the
Schlossplatz when a stout, resolute
peasant woman broke through the
ranks, put away the officer at the
head of his squad, and embraced
her husband, loudly crying, He has
belonged to you long enough, now
he is mine once more, and you will
never get hold of him. When the
other women standing along the
street, and eagerly watching for
their turn, noticed this unceremon-
ious procedure, there was no long
er any restraint, they all broke into
the lines. and each of them seized
her son, husband, or sweetheart.
The Captain could not defend him
self against this invasion, good-na-
turedly suffered to pass what he
could not stop, and led his men and
women to the Schlossplaz, where,
amid the cheering of the people, the
women assisted the soldiers in un-
strapping their knapsacks, or hold
their needle-guns, while in the other
hand each carried a bundle of mod
est citizens clothes, and afterwards
all ate and drank merrily together.

Explosion Of a Steam Boiler.
The Fireman Thrown a Con-
siderable Distance, but Es-
capes with his Life.

The season for explosions of steam
boilers seems to be upon US. The
Westfeld is not forgotten until the
Ocean Wave is crowded upon our
attention, and this is closely follow
ed by scores of less important but
not less dangerous explosions, in all
parts of the country, east and west,
north and south. - strange as it
may be, in most cases no reason can
be assigned for these proceeding
as though it was decreed that fear
full losses and damage should re-
suit so often and so unexpectedly.
But our purpose is local, and not
a general one, and we pass on to the
subject.
On Monday morning, about half
past nine O'Clock, one of the three
boilers used to run the machinery
at the Massillop Paper Mill, located
in the southern portion of this city,
from some unaccountable cause, so
far as we can be informed, exploded
her sides, bursting out both in front
and in the rear. The mill proper is
located on the east side of the fur
mace and boilers, and, fortunately,
no damage was done to the main
building, in which some twenty men
are employed. The fireman, a col
ored man by the name of Harvey
Goens, the only man in the way of
the explosion, who was standing i'm
mediately in front Of the furnace,
was thrown considerable distance,
badly scalded by the steam, and
struck on the head by portion. of
the boiler. The man lay little..less
than dead for some time, until he
could be removed, and a physician
summoned, when he was kindly
cared for, and removed to his home,
in West Massillon. The shrieks of
the injured man, just after the acci
dent, were terrible; and all, felt
sympathy for him, knowing how Sc
we're were his injuries, and how
much pain he suffered.
The shed built in front Of the
boilers was thrown all over the yard,
in a miscellaneous condition, and
the stack was severed in two, half of
it going up in the air, and then
alighting ON the shed roof, while
the lower portion of it was blown in
front of the fireplace, carrying de-
struction and almost death in its
track. The other two boilers were
uninjured.
Mr.. John Silk, the Superintendent,
went to Cleveland this Tuesday,
morning, to make arrangements for
having the boiler removed, and a
new flue and boiler placed in the
position the old one occupied. The
mill has been very successful and
prosperous, and though making only
straw wrapping paper, had a ready
sale for all they could manufacture.
This accident will stop the Mill, but
only long enough to repair the dam
age done.
Mr.. Goens, under the care of DR..
Barrick, is getting along as well as
could be expected, and as it is be-
lieved no internal injuries were sus-
tanned, the patient will soon recover.
