The Rank burden GREATER Than the
Public Debt.

Public Debt.
Much complaint is Justly made Of the

OOO, 900 year. But this is not the
heaviest burden that has been imposed
ON the people for the sole benefit Of the
money lenders and usurcrs. Our me-
dunn Of exchange is made of money one
part, and credit two parts. We have
81 900, ,OOO, ,OOl Of real money so-called,
ana $o, ,0OO, ,0OO, 900 Of credit money.
The latter consists Of what is termed
bank deposits, or amounts in hanks
placed to the credit Of individuals and
iirms, and secured by bonds and mort
cages bearing interest, which can be
drawn against at any time, serving oil
the purposes OF SO much money. We
often hear il said that there is but eight
hundred or y thousand millions OF money
in tho whole country, and that wages
and general prices are governed and reg-
ulated by that volume. That il mistake.

Comptroller Of the Currency, the banks
