PAYING OFF THE DEBT.

Mr.. Donnelly asks ''why not let the neXt
generation pay the debt and get back to specie
payments That is an admission that the
debt ought to be paid, and specie payments
resumed, sometime. The difference between
us is. that we think this generation should at
ing until the next generation having succeeded
to our places, our property and our policy of
payment. the entire debt shall be wiped out:
Mr.. Donneliy would have this generation pay
nothing but interest on the undiminished debt,
and the continual lossess which q currency Of
fuctuating value occasions, and leave to the
next generation mountains Of debt, an ire
deemable and vacillating currency and bad
example Red Wing Republican.
Our good friend forget. that by exist

that the Secretary of the Treasury cal.

pie are taxed to pay interest on them, I
