of an Italian newspaper, having Civ

ceived a letter from him couched in
these proyocatory terms: "Slf, | can

The National Debt.
The Galveston News saws:

~ N'hiN'7N'ii ANfNe Haf
The reduction Of the national debt
at the rate of Sl2,000,000 to s15,0O0,-
600 monthly indicates the design of
the government to leave nothing for
posterity To do but to roll in luxury
and decay in sensuality. The re-
duction last month of sl3,32l 800
makes an aggregate reduction for
the last four months Of little over
S55, 100000, and estimating the debt
in round numbers at 81, ,SO0,000,000,
the national account can be balanced
in about eleven years. This fact has
been adverted to before, but it can
not be too frequently stated in the
way of an appeal for the revision of
the tariff and lower taxes generally.
Such a tremendous taxation ought
not to be put upon the people. No
one generation should be burdened
with such load when there is real
" no necessity for it. The true poll
icy in the liquidation of great ma
tional debt is to extend the payments
over long series Of years, and trans
NIT from generation to generation
the duties as well as the blessings of
citizenship. There is no pressing
emergency to pay this debt-in fact
creditors do not want it paid so rap
idly. The people are in no hurry to
pay it, and posterity will not object
to shouldering part of it. 1t is
really of interest to nobody but the
spectators that so much money be
extorted from the hard earnings Of
the people and exchanged for bonds,
that might as well run for fifty years.
The system of collecting and aggre-
eating vast sums in the national
treasury is hurtful to agriculture,
manufactures, commerce and all in
dustries of the country, while the
paying of it out to the banks aug
ments the facilities of the specula-
tors and hurts ten-fold more in the
curious methods of its return to gen
eral circulation than the withdrawal.
1t hurts going andcoming-in going,
by depriving the citizen of that which
he needs, and the loss of which makes
him poorer, and in coming back, by
the the uses made Of it by the gam
blers in produce to toll the products
of the soil and the loom and the mo-
ney itself. 1t were far better for the
country and the creditors to fix an
annual rate of payment on the debt
that would work its eXtinguishment
in fifty or hundred years, and re-
ducc the tariff on imports and domes-
tic industries to rates that would
bring in just enough to defray the
expenses of the government, pay the
interest on the debt and the annual
payment on the principal. Such q
system would give stability 90 val
ues, insure permanent prosperity and
render panics and disasters .s, li&sly

The paticulars in which the aver

There is one reason for advertising
that business men rarely consider
its general effect on the prosperity of
their own places. The newspaper
goes out into the world from week
to week as the representative of the
city, and men judge Of the city more
10y the newspaper than anything else.
If it is newsy and able, and many lo-
cal firms are represented in its udver-
tising columns, they assume at once,
and generally correctly, that il comes
from a live city-a good city TO live
in and live near-and they thus are
drawn thiiher. The effect is not
slight and the suggestion is one which
deserves the consideration of every
llradesman. Van Buren, Argus.

Kraved in gold, Ia the lone star OF
Texas and the name Of General

gun is loaded at the breech by n
curious piece Of mocha nism, aud,
although it carries q very large
charge Of powder there 10 hardly
