THE STATE DEBT.
Its Rapid EederDptAon-- Is Not Beinf
FAid q Little Too Rapidly3
fBundny Star.1

The public announcement Of the State
Treasurer that he will, during the first week
of January, redeem Delaware State bonds
to the amount of SOC, 900, gives rise 10 th,
question whether we are not extinguishinl
our State debt at a rate somewhat too rapid
to serve the best interests OF the present
generation, Financially, the State Of
Delaware Is exceedingly well nxed, Her
debt is not large, and is Offset By the pos
session of good securities that reduce the
actual indebtedness to very tridiDg figure,
while her revenues are 80 ample and SO
readily collected as to easily provide for the
prompt meeting Of every obligation, thus
placing the credit of the State at point
not surpassed by that of any other State in
the Union.
Under the existing financial arrangements
the State debt can he entirely cxtinguished
in very few years, but great many people
are of the opinion that II would be the
better plan TO reduce the rate OF taxation
and postpone the total payment of the debt
for C few years longer. As our tax laws are
now framed tho burden of taxation falls
upon the manufacturing interests, aud any
legislation that tends 70 free these interests
from financial enbarrassments is just so
much help TO the good work of developing
our resources aud adding to the material
wealth of the State. For instance, If the
present DhSls OF JaAatiOn Will meet all cur
rent expenses and leave surplus sufficient
to wipe out the State debt In seven or eight
years, would 1t not he better to relieve the
people by reduction of the revenues, and
extend the final settlement of the debt for a
longer period.
We do not hold that Ha national debt is
national blessing" but we can readily per-
ceiye how the existence of small debt, the
interest upon which does not burden the
people, can be viewed as benefit instead OF
disadvantage. II its continuance lightens
the burden of taxation Gas it certainly WILD
here is one great point, and another is that
as long as the debt exists the Legislature
will ve reluctant to increase its extent for
real or fancied needs. An entire freedom
from debt might lead to extravagances that
would seriously oppress the people, while
the existence OF a considerable obligation
would form a sufficient pretext for keeping
strictly in the path of economy and wise
government.
The question is worthy Of serious consid-
GRAFTON, and 1t would be well for the Legis.
lature, at the approaching session, to give it
careful attention, and see whether the State
is not rich enough to reduce Its debt very
slowly for few years and put the mon. y
thus saved into the pockets of the people.
