Press Association, the following glowing
words, well worthy our thought in old vir-
GINA:
THE OLD AND THE NEW.
To stand in Boston without blessing God
for Plymouth Rock and Bunker's Hill is
accounted in our national creed sin of the
first magnitude. So should it be consid-
cred piece OF moral treachery to speak
upon any subject in this later and fresher
Boston, :" the historic city" of Lawrence,
without extolling the men and women who
gave to Mount Dread and Massachusetts
Street
Y "a glory that was Greece,
A grandeur that was Rome"
Honor, then, TO those who here built the
first Kansas cabins and prayed the first
Kansas prayers-whose consistency and
courage and energy wrought the early life
of our State into an Iliad of imperishable
splendor. May their names and services
never be obscured or forgotten!
The ''old times" however, properly be-
long to history. The graves of martyrs
are points to step from, and not to stand
upon. Since the "old settlersv did their
work here the world has taken a ''new de-
parture." The years that have elapsed
since Lawrence was founded make up but
short measure of time, and yet, in that
period, it might almost be said that the
whole universe has changed front.
We are face to face with facts

CHAPTER VIII.
FINANCE AND CURRENCY.

In its session, commencing in AU-
gust, 1890, Congress assumed the pay
meut of four-fiIJhs Of the debt of each
State, these aggregated twenty-one
million dollars, which ad'ied to the
dcbt of the Continental Congress Of
o,rg fifty millions. made total in
dcbteuness. to be provided for, of over
ScVCnty-fivc millIOns-Of this, over
eleven and half millions were due to
foreign nations. the larger part to
France, and the balance To Holland
and Spain. 70 provide for such part
OF this as was over due interest, as well
rs 10 put the government at its ease, a
new loan OF twelve millions was au
thorized, and of the home debt of the
Continental Congress, the unpaid in
terest nearly one-third the amount)
was funded at an interest of 3 per cent,
and the principal at an interest of 6
per cent, and the creditors Of the Uni
ted States were proiiercd these new OBJ
legations for the old.
Great opposition was made 10 both
the assumption or the State debts, and
the funding syslem--im the House OF
RepresentatiVes-b time has proved
the wisdom of at least the latter.
The effect of tins Legislation was
the rise of public credit at once 10 par.
In March, 1873, the public debt was
a little over eighty million 0,3)2, $50.
In March, 1877, Adams found il lit
tie over eighty-two million ,So2, ,O64,-
479l. In March, 1901, when Jcaerson
entered on the Administration of the
government, ii was likewise orly lit
tleover eighty-two million -, ,03s, 900.
In March, 1909, when Madison sue
ceedtd him, il was only a little more
than fiftv-seven million -, ,U34, lS2l.-
In March, 1913, it had increased to
nearly sixty million l59, So, ,S21f but
the war then progressing with Eng

roe was iuau-urated President, in
March, 1917, it was nearly cne nun
dred and twenty-three and a half mil
lion 123, ,49I 1861. The sale of public
land during the four following years,
so reduced it, that in March, 1921, it
was less than ninety millit ~ ,SJ,9S7,-

became President, il was over eighty
three millions (S3. 7sS, 4S2l. In lS-9.
