Men sometimes remark that it mat
tiers not to them how much the Gov
ernment, railroad corporations, and
others owe. they have no tax or inter-
est to pay. This is mistake. The
Government pays no interest that is
not collected from internal revenues or
duties on imports. The former are
collected direct from the people, and
the latter from importing merchants,
who add to the imported articles the
amount of duties which, when sold, the
people pay for.
Our railroads pay no interest but
what is taxed back to the people in the
shape OF freights, passenger fare, and
deduction of the wages of their en-
ploycs.
The interest on the railroad bonds
alone amounts to $50, 100000 annu-
ally.
The railroad laborcrs pay SIS, OOO,-
600 of it.
Then they estimate amount of freight
transportations, and add a hundred
millions to cost, which the merchants.
tho farmers and the manufacturers pay.
The merchant, having paid his pro rata,
charges it up on his goods, and the re-
tail purchaser finally pays his share,
| and releases the merchant.
The manufacturer and the coal oper-
ator calculate the cost Of the raw ma
terial, the price in market and trans
portation; to save themselves, they put
down the wages of their men, or add to
the market price of their goods, which,
in the end, the consumer or the laborer
pays, and not the railroad or coal COM
pany.
Our boards Of trade and heavy grain
buyers have to borrow every dollar Of
money used in handling the farm crops
but who pays the interest? Not they
but the farmer. The buyer knows the
prices IN New York.
/. He estimates transportation.
? Insurance.
3. Interest on the money.
4. His own profits and contingencies
5. What remains, ii any, tho farmer
can have, or let his crops rot i'll the
field.
The balance of the interest is made
from exorbitant pas enger fares, which
every patron helps to Eay.--Peorle's
Crisis.

HEAVY failures still continue to follow
each other among the business and
manufacturing firms throughout the
country. The system which forces the
making Of debt before money to do
business on can be had, and afterward
refuses equal opportunities to all, is
having its legitimate results, and will
end in general commercial crash such
as periodically sweeps over any country
which submits to the debt system
