The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1875-10-22

our governments anu corporate DObl'9, IL
extended among the people, and became
everywhere characteristic of individual
business and enterprise. But debt creation
indicated profuse outlay and expenditure,
public and private, greatly facilitated by
government issues of paper money and
the operation of the national banks.
At one time, during the war, the govern
ment expenditures were at the rate of two
millions of dollars day. In June 1864, the
year before the end of the war, ] was called
upon to vote and did vote for appropriations
amounting to one hundred and thirty mil
lions of dolars-in single bill 1t was
the handling of enormous sums of money,
the tremendous outlUys that were caused by
and required by the war-it was the specula-
ton which war operations begat in the
country, and causes allied to those that in
troduced into our business life habits of
reckless and extravagant expenditure that
we have not yet broken away from-which
we have not yet abandoned 1t is necessary
that the American people, like other people
before them, shall learn the hard lesson of
economy and frngality, the lesson may be
hard, but necessity will teach it, and a like
necessity will require that it shall be
learned
But as far as remedies can be applied to
the existing situation of things, we should
seek for them and apply them. ] suspect
that government can do but little towards
atfording an immediate and radical cure
for "hard times'-complcte instant relief
for prostracted labor, and stricken industry.
