eight years there never was before such or

in England that it would never be pa ID, for
such 3 thing had never been heard Of - any
people paying 50 vast . debt. There was tn
Mephistophsles suggestion that it would be
paid in q certain way. The voice of the peo-

estIy paid, and forty millions Of people de-
clared that So .ooo, ,oo0, ,OOo of debt should b

rumbling Of the peoples will as to the col.
