debt is extinguished the system inev.
itably falls. There are 2,4OO Of these
banks now in operation in the United
States, in which at least 2,400, 900
persons are pecuniarily interested, and,
consequently, opposed to any policy
looking to the extiuguishment Of the
debt and the relief of the tax-ridden
people. Mr.. Thompson wants the
debt paid Of and the great interest

Congress. and it may be that the vote
of the Eighth District will play an
