For this, on the other hand, we
pay out as follows:
We give our bonds for S220,694;
the issue of which, added to the
S3,022 ,423. the face of the debt,
makes up the So, 243, III issued. On
this increased amount we pay in
terest at the rate of ira per cent the
first year, three per cent the second
year, and jour per cent the third
year, instead of six per cent per an
mum for the three years; being, as
we have seen, 1912, 10 81 less than
the interest an the tacp q fAe de6f,
at sir per cent, would have been
during the same period. But from
that time forward, during the re-
manning twenty-seven years, the in
terest on either amount is to be at six
per cent. We have, consequently,
during that period of tWenty-seVen
years, to pay Gas compared with the
interest ON the face OF the actual un-
disputed debt) additional interest at
six per cent, not indeed on the
whole loan of S252, 15J 81, but upon
the 1920, ,694 of obligation issued in
excess of face of debt, toward re-
payment of the loan. AT the end
of the thirty years we have further
to redeem, in currency, the princi-
pal obligation of S220,694.
The accuracy of the computation
above presented is demonstrated by
tb., nnipai1npt rnsIllt of tho ga lcIIl q =
tion given in the annexed table,
showing, in the simplest form, the
gross 0A7oum Of principal and inter
est paid, in the thirty years, on the
two plans respectively; proper al
lowance being made for final pay

hand table, is obtained, by way of
remission of interest at the outset:

SUMMARY.

the acquisition of a bad name. This
will be equally obvious to one who
knows the history of the State, or
who has any faith in the maxim
that honesty is the best policy. We
have had no other doubt, then,
about the propriety of the set
tlement, than as to the feasibility of
paying the interest on the new
bonds. There is. however, no other
way to get out OF debt but TO pay
out. Bankruptcy, reputation, and
all make-shifts of that kind, are
simply efforts to avoid the inevita-
bic, and they bring with them mis-
fortunes which are greater than the
hardships attending the payment of
Just debts. It is certainly a misfor-
tune that the State is in debt; but
we shall certainly not get out of
debt by talking about it. That rem
edy has been tried in vain for nearly
forty years. 1t is our opinion that
if the question of the public debt
was settled on Il satisfactory
basis, we might anticipate
with an era of restored credit,
and an end of our past re-
proaches, such prosperityas would
enable us, on the plan proposed, to
pay the interest on the new bonds,
and eventually to pay off the debt
with less burden than those which
have been successfully assumed by
other States, which have in like
manner fallen a prey to evil coun-
sells.
The principal objections to the
proposed plan Of settlement, that
have come to our knowledge, have
emanated-not from those who pro-
posed to repudiate the entire State
debt-but from persons who pro-
fess stern resolution to pay
with scrupulous fidelity every
cent of the debt which is
commonly known, and has been
here characterized, las the undisputed
debt, but who object to any arrange
ment which will get rid Of the dis
puted debt, even though this should
be accomplished on precisely the
same terms. 1t would be difficult
to see of what advantage it could
be, abstractly considered, to the
State, to have this mass of dis
puted debt lying out asa subject OF
future reproach and contention. As
no pecuniary advantage can be pred
icated of such course, it is said
that it is a matter of principle. BY
this we suppose is meant that some
moral rule would be invaded, some
moral or legal right would be vio-
lated. With the best disposition to
candidly consider every argument
made on the subject, we have tried
in vain to see how this can be. If
the State pays only the debts which
it Is admitted she ought to pay, the
State will not be defrauded; if the
bondholders consent to the proposed
arrangement, it is not probable that
they will complain. The principle
of morals involved is one which has
never perhaps been reduced to any
