single instance in many years. This marks one
important difference between Government
which depends ON the people, and so has to take
the people into its confidence constantly, and
the British Government which depends only
upon certain classes Another surprising feature
is that "lOans recoverable are deducted from
the debt, which is a little as If the United States
should deduct from its debt the amount OF loans
to Pacific railroads. For there Is at least as
much probability of recovering the amount IN
that case rs there is Of recovering sum loaned
by the British Government With losses al
ready of 10000, 600 ON $535,OOOOOO loaned
the British people have reasonable certainty
that their official returns do not show the exact
amount of debt which they will ultimately have
to bear.
One other feature is that the British Govern
ment does not deduct any cash on hand. The
amount of United States debt is reduced by
several hundred millions in cash held by the
Treasury, proceeding which Is made necessary
by the issue of notes used rs money The British
Government leaves to the Bank OF England con-
troll of the currency, and the experience OF Brit
ish merchants in recent years Is beginning 10

Americans will find little that they could wish
to have their Government initiate in the British
management Offnances. They would not toler-

They would not tolerate statement III wmch
the amount of debt is left uncertain to the ex-
tent of many millions of dollars. They would
not tolerate methods of taxation which place
great share of the burdens of the State upon the
working people. They would Insist upon
financial management for the benefit OF the
whole people, and not for the benefit OF any Inn
tied class. But yet there are some college pro-
fess0rs and English-aping snObs among us, who
try to persuade young men of this country that
there is no wisdom on earth, in matters OF
finance Or taxation, except in following British
teachings.

The latest officially unofficial announcement

this Government shave been violating section
Of the Revised Statutes which prov idcs a fiue
and imprisonment for any American citizen
who, by verbal or written communication with
any foreign Government or its agent shall seek
10 influence the conduct of that Government in
dispute with the United States. AT least
that is the crime that is charged against certain
"men who claim to be Americans" No names
have yet been given, but sundry Republicans

their shoes. At the same time Mr.. Bayard
wishes 1t to be understood that he has not /" in
