Total intcrcst-bearing debt..S2, 81 ,53o,294 90
The total annual interest charge amount
ed to $3.50, 977 ,697.S4. This was an oppres-
siye burden. For interest alone we were
having more than double the total current
expenses Of the Government in any year OF
peace prior to the war for the Union. With
such burden for interest it is not strange
that many believed that the debt could
never be paid. But, as we have seen, bet
ter opinion prevailed. Those who believed
that by strengthening the national credit
the rates OF interest might he reduced were
sustained bv the public Judgment. The
ability and the purpose to pay the debt &C
cording to its letter and spirit were demon
strated.
1t was seen that the successful manage
ment Of the debt depended on the rates OF
interest to be paid; that 4 reduction OF one
per cent. on our whole interest bearing
debt would be yearly saving in interestof
over $40, 000,000; that q reduction OF two
per cent. in the rate OF interest would save
to the country over S40,00O,000. which is
the interest at four per cent. on $1,000, 000.-
900. The policy Of reducing the debt, and
thereby strengthening the public credit,
having been adopted, let us observe the re-
suit in the present condition OF the public
debt with respect to interest. The total
Understanding debt August l, 1878, was
as follows:
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-09-11
Total present interest-bearings :, ,

The interest on which amounts to 500, 49,
OO7.a0 per annum. 1t thus appears that in
thirteen years the Understanding debt has
been reduced from S2,SS1, $50, 296.96 to
S1,S09,G77, 900-a gain in the amount OF the
interest-bearing debt Of 1855, 394.9G.
The reduction Of the annual interest charge
to $50, 1861 90.34, or more than fifty per
cent. OF what we now pay. Ii the reduc-
ton OF annual interest were placed in q
sinking fund at four per cent. interest, it
would pay oil the whole debt in less than
twenty-five years. There has been another
gratifying and important Improvement in
the state Of the public debt. A few years
ago our bonds were largely owned in for
eign countries. It is estimated that in 1871
held abroad; we then paid from $50, 900, 900
to S60,000,000 annually to Europe for inter-
est alone.
Now the bonds are mainly held in our
own country. 1t is estimated that five siXths
OF them are held in the United States and
only one sixth abroad. Instead OF paying
TO foreigners $50, 0O0, 900 we now pay them
only about 2,Q00, 900 or $15, 900 year,
and the interest on the debt is mainly paid
to our own citizens. 1t appears from what
has been shown that since the close of the
war, since the panic OF five years ago, there
has been great change in the condition OF
the debt. The change has been one Of i'm
proYement. First, the debt has been greatly
reduced; second, the interest to be paid has
been largely diminished; third, and itisto
be paid ut home instead OF abroad. The
burden OF taxation has been reduced since
1865 the iirst year after the war, as follows:
