The public debt of the United States is
only Sl+.63 per capita. In 1850 it was S:}S. 33.
In eleven years We have paid off So. 10 for
every ln:n. woman and child IN the coun-
try But that needn't stop man from
paying his grocery bill when it falls due.
Dear Gazette.
Your editorials contained the above yes
terday
Gen, Jackson said, "tignres do not lie"
A greater than jackson has said: Thou
Shalt not bear false witness
Do we not sometimes SO arrange figures
that they do bear false wiiness1''
From the above the manipulation of the
Phu.uician characters would show that in
another decade our public debt will be
wiped out" But as the ''tares" will grow
with the wheat even until The harvest, >
allow Us to taOClate another little state
ment under the not unfamiliar caption lately
Of
WAR PENSIONS
For this purpose $l5O.O00,GO0 per year,
81, 800 900 per month, So, l25000 per week,
S446.459 per day SlS,60l per hour, $40 per
minute. - per second
Here under this one item is an expense
of $50 Tor every man. woman and child
for single year In eleven years we have
paid of SOB 20 for every man, woman ana
child, is only 81 o. per annum, and upon the
entire war debt the 500 being Tor the
nSle item pensions. Still the war debt
must be paid. the disabled soldiers must be
aided.
The problem then is how is this to be
done in these times OF depression, in this
Gearth of money
Professor w. r. Foster is writing pre-
dieting. foretelling with great accuracy the
meteorological disturbances, the influence
of the equinoyes of Jupiter and Saturn upon
these and the results.
The country is now looking eagerly for
some philosopher, semi financial prophet TO
iOrctell the solution of the money problem.
There are thousands who know-who feel
il IS upon us. and there are scores who talk,
who figure" is 10 its solution.
The writer Will reiterate mis- utterances
Of 1858:
We school men should extend our fields
ofstudy, we should look further into matters
than perhaps we are expected to-at least
further than we are accredited rs doing.
Il have told YOU how the equilibrium of
our states can be maintained Us states, as
suVereignticS. and our Union can be pre-
served. There must be preserved another
equilibrium. and that among our industries
an equihb rlnm of agriculture, manufact-
ure and commerce must be maintained,
under the heads Of Trausmutation. Trans
formation and Transportation. Transmu-
tation is agriculture, transformation is
manufacture, and transportation is com
merca. That in the morbid greed for gain
the ambition 10 grow rich in 4 short time
horticulture has been neglected; the quiet
fields and the lonely forests have been
abandoned by too many. The remuneration
of the husbandman comes too slow for this
fast age. Excuses are formed for thus de-
sorting the homes and farms of our faith
srS that the cities present advantages for
church and schools. and | must therefore
move 10 the city for social, for
church and school facilities. The
,,f ag,s,
out; if YOU doubt the position, look them
up; there is = Lack Of equilibrium in these
industries. The statesman, the teacher
the minister of the gospel. and the press,
all should come to the rescue. What shall
be dunel what can be done!
Make agriculture more lucrative2 No
Make the country home, society, church
and school privileges better, more at
trlCtiYe.n
And still the press teens with theories
and speculation as to how the volume of
money can be increased. Nothing is said
about the true source OF all our prosperity,
viz. the productions of mother earth
Values must be created. Give me values
and will have their equivalent-money
The solution then suggested is for the
ovcrcrowded professions, the traders, the
spectators TO become producers. Give up
the cities, abandon the haste TO become
rich; return like Cincinnatus TO your plow,
10 your tiockS and herds.
The greatest work of the Spring Palace
was 10 bring out the natural resources of
Texas. II was . veritable fruit picture
ikarporamab OF the products, mineral and
vegetable, OF the earth. This same idea
should be transferred 10 Chicago And it
is hoped, it is believed, that through this
four hundredth anniversary there will be
another discovery" and that the solution
