A Fictitious War Debt.

At the close Of the late civil war, the
national debt was about $4,000, 900 600
The people generally suppose that this
entire sum was necessarily spent in support.
ing the government and putting down the
rebellion in addition to the regular income
Of the government. This is very far from
the truth. Full one-half of this enormous
debt represented commissions on bonds,
interest on bonds, and discounts on govern
ment money in buying coin 10 pay interest,
etc., etc.
To illustrate the total expenditures Of
the government for 1862 we're $475, OO0, 600
According to the report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, $l3 ,0O0. 900 of this was for
interest on the public debt, 1854, 900 900 OF
1t discount, and $57 200, 900 received for
taxes. leaving only $S41 900 900 ola debt.
In 1868 the national expense was $715,-
DOC, 200. OF this sum interest, discount, and
taxes make up 1910, 900, O0O leaving bal
ance Of actual debt Of $4O5, 900 900.
In 1864 the public expenditures were
1856 100000. OF this sum $4,000, 900
was paid in interest. $505, 900 900 on dis
counts, 1884. 100000 received from taxes,
leaving only $4,000. 600 legitimate public
debt. The public expenditures for 1866
amounted to 81 .297 900, 900. OF this sum
SIT ,OOO, 900 was Interest, $3.50 900 900 dis
count. and $685.. 100000 taxes received,
leaving only $49S, 900 600 ne, honest public
debt.
Ii the government bad continued the
policy inaugurated in 1861, of meeting the
public expenditures over and above taxes
by the issue of legal tender currency, there
would have been at the close Of the war
81 ,2S7 ,000, 900 government paper money in
circulation. And'not dollar of public debt
From this showing il is clear that The people
were robbed Of over 81, 1000, 900 600 during
the war, that this robbery has been going on
ever since in the form of interest on en-
unnecessary public debt. and that We still
owe. after having paid over SIS, 900 ,000, 900,
nearly as much as the actual cost of the
government during the war. This money
has gone out of the pockets of the producing
classes, into the pockets of the non-produc-
ing classes, through system Of financial
legerdemain deliberately planned and per-
sisiently carried out.

Uneasy.

The tone Of such papers as the
Philadelphia Press, New York Trib
une and New York Press recently
betray great deal Of nervousness in
relation to the position the Demo-
Gratis threaten to take on tariff mat
ters. 1t they let tariff slide for the
present as the interviews which
Springer has recently had published
Indicate, the Republicans are likely
to be left without subject to ''go
before the country on" II the Dem.
ocrats come to the conclusion to let
tariff slide the present session, alleg-
ing that nothing can be effected
while the Senate and President have
the power to block any change, what
will the Republicans DO? The party
has not another question on earth to
present to the people and make q
show OF party fight upon.
Springer proposes to introduce a
little bill to place wool, cotton, teas,
binding Irvine, coal and iron ore on
the free list No manufacturer
would object to placing wool, ore and
coal on the free list as it would be a
direct advantage to them. If the
Democrats turn their backs on the
tariff as they threaten TO do and take
up free silver, the Republicans would
be put in hole. Will they do its
Wall street says no, through the
Cleveland and Mills wing of the
party.
1t is always good advice not to do
what your opponent advises, The
above named papers are anxious for
the Democrats to pitch into "tarifY
reform" The Democrat party has
manifested very little sense on i'm
|portant occasions. Has it sense
enough not TO take the advice Of its
enemiess We will see.

Carrying Goals 70 New Castle.

Brother sd. J. Given, colpoituer for the
Maryland Bible Society 10 Cecil County,
Nd, seems to be somewhat 'disgruntled''
if he will pardon us in using such common
parlance in discussing an occupation Of such
doubtful utility as the one he is engaged in.
Ifhis load of books are as ponderous as the
name he travels under he must feel aweary
when night overtakes him. 1t Is believed
there is au "eternal fitness Of things" eslab-
lished in nature, and Bro. Given writing his
grievance at Rising Sun and mailing it 10
Elkton to have his complaint against The
MIDLAND JOURNAL published, bears a
striking resemblance to the business he is
/ in. It's travelling long way for very small
| results.
The occasion gave the sturdy traveller
another opportunity to lay before the public
the Thousands Of Bibles and Tesiaments he
has helped TO scatter over the country in the
past several months. If he had been a
porter of Goals or of bread TO many of these
poor people whom he carried Bibles to, they
would have risen up and called him blessed.
As it is we dare say not one OF the hungry
children he visited, ever thought Of blessing
him for the utterly useless, to them, work
he was engaged in. Not one chapter more
Of the scriptures was read in Cecil county
on account of Brother Given's distribution
Of the sacred volumes, and not one less
would have been read had he never distrib-
uted book. And If he goes over the same
ground this year that has been tramped
last, he will find the same families without
Bibles. No doubt hundreds of them have
been lost and torn up by the children and
their pet pups, the greatest source Of pleas
ure and diversion for many of the children
of these poor people, who haven't Bibles
and don't care enough for them to take care
Of the books when thrust upon them.
There isn't family in all of this county
that doesn't live within halfhour's walk
off church where they can hear the gospel
read and explained, and where their chill
dren can attend Sunday schools and be in
structed by competent and willing teachers.
There is no more sense or religious duty
subserved by carrying Bibles and Testaments
over the county than carrying Goals TO
New CASTLE"
st is also our purpose" says Bro. Given,
ITO try to SOW the good seed, the word Of
truth and the gospel of our salvation. and il
possible thereby persuade sinners to be rec
onciled 10 God.''
This is very unctious. But you can't
cheat the people among whom you dislribnte
these cheap editions Of the scriptures, much
less cheat God by such homilies as this.
A similar class of impecnnious gentlemen
are found hugging the skirts of Christianity
away back in The middle ages. They went
BY the name of Palmers and bare loot friars.
These sturdy beggars got a Lying without
earning il. Times have changed and the
parasite accommodates lis hue to the subject

The Half Is More Than the whole.

| It is clear that al the advantages
of this situation are on the side OF
money owners and against all pro.
ducers. Manufacturers naturally be-
gan to take hold Of the idea that
the only way to get even with
the money mongers was to limit
the output OF commodities one bali
so that the remaining half should
command more money than the orig
Iinal whole. Such lie the illogical and
substantial foundation Of the modern
trust. The thing has now reached
agriculture, the nourisbing mother
OF all arts, and all occupations. Ag
riculture, upon whose deposit that
species of banking called commerce
is conducted. Agriculture, from
whose abundance is drawn the raw
material of all manufacture. Agri
culture, whose bounty answers the
prayer of all the living for daily
bread. What is to become of agri
culture thus ground between the
upper and neither millstones; between
the national banks and the manufac-
turing trnstsP IL the half of the
daily bread Of mankind more than
the wholeP Are the half Of cotton
and wool and leather more than the
whole? And at last, when this
satanic policy has come TO its ulti-
mate fruitfon, we stand face to face
With new question, viz: IL the half
Of mankind more than the whole? Is
Unnecessary that one.half Of mankind
be destroyed that the remainder may
have necessaries Of lief The final
question is. which half shall be de
stroyed? And the answer is newt.
able-itis the weaker half This.
then, is the inevitable sequence !:
limitation of the money supply, fol.
lowed by an equal limitation of the
supply Of commodities, and ending
in corresponding limitation, of the
reproduction of our species. The
situation demands Immediate restor
alton of free coinage Of silver, to be
followed by the issue Of full legal
tender treasury notes based on COM
modities, rs provided by the sub.
treasury plan, to meet the annual
surplus ofproduct over money caused
by the in gathering of the great agri-
cultural staples as they mature. II
alliance offensive and defensive he
tween the West and South is neces
sary to carry out this programme, let
that alliance be perfected without
delay; and If a new party be found
necessary to perfect that alliance. let
US have the new party now. What
ever is done will have to be quickly
done. The day of talk is gone; the
time for action is come. The supply
of commodities is too great for the
existing supply OF money and this is
that "overproduction" Of which go
much is heard. There must be
equitable readjustment.- National
