OuR NATIONAL DEBT.-Mr. CARTEL,
in reporting an appropriation bill to tn
House of Representatives, took occasion
to refer to the amount Of our nationa
debt, at different periods of time in GU
history. He said:
In 1857, it was S75,OO0,OOO. Tn,
war Of 1912 found it reduced to $40. 600
600. In 1916, it stood at $4,000, OOC
but was completely wiped out by 1887
The war with Mexico sadded us with a
fresh Indebtedness of 5000, 600, which
was never reduced below SIS, 800, 600
The maximum was reached in 1865. when
the debt stood at S2,S72 734, 90S. Since
that year the principal has been reduced
So56'50O,OOO, 20k per cent. involving
the reduction Of the yearly interest pay.
ment of s42, 100000. With peace, the
rest will be rapidly paid off, and the coun-
try will right itself and go on prosperous
ly. bat let it be forever borne in mini"
says Gen, Gaafeld, THAT the day which
witnesses a new war, increases more and
more heavily than ever the calamities of
the past. For the burdens of the past are
mainly the burdens Of war, and there is
point to which national debt NAV rise
when its people lose heart and grow hone.
less under the burden"
Mr.. Garfield also makes the following
Interesting statements in regard to the OK
penSes OF our government the Iast fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1871,
Amount paid on account of the late war
--includug $3.50 729 for illegal capture
OF British vessels and crews-Sl75,543,.
l4O; paid for the present military and ma.
val establishments, s4i,ll4.55l; paid for
the civil servivce proper Including all re.
manning expcnses,) S70,906,7 $50; grand
total s29l ,564.44l. That is, COZ per
cent. of the whole outlay was for the late
war; IA per cent. for the army and navy,
and 254 per cent. for all other purposes.
vi the yearly expenditure OF Great Brit.
ain, 5o9 per cent. is for interest on her
debt, 50 per cent. for the army and navy.
and PSI per cent for otherpurposes. Thus
while her civil establishment costs almost
the same per cent as ours, the military
establishment costs more than twice as
much in proportion with them as it does
with US.
