ssposting the books, and from 1881 10
1877, the amount Of interest paid by
the people of the United States on
government bonds amounted TO the
enormous aggre gate Of sixteen hum
dred million dollars. This is almost
equal to the sum originally borrowed
BY the Government. Suppose in 1851
a mechanic had built house at
cost Of 81 900. on which he was to pay
interest. and in that sixteen years had
actnally paid in interest Al. 500, and
was then called upon TO pay the
original price. 81 600 besides, would
he feel as though he had been justly
treatedl 1t would at least be regarded
as great hardship for the man TO do
50. That is actually the condition Of
the American people at this time.
Why, therefore. should not these
bonds be called in and paid of in the
money Of the people, and the interest
which is consuming the vitals Of trade
and commerce gotten rid of--stopped.
Thus would the debt be paid, and q
handred millions Of interest saved.
which is now wfung from the hard
learnin Is Of the people. Stop the in
;terest!
