ASTOUNDING FACT IN RELATION TO
THE NATIONAL DEBT.
The question has been asked lis.
"When were most of the interest
bearing bonds issued, during the war
or after the War?'
Nearly all the bonded debt Of the
United States was created after the
war! At the close of the war the
bonded debt was only about 600 mil
nous! Incredible as this may seem.
it is true!
How came SO many bonds lover
four billions) to be issued after the
war? . ri,
Why, in order that the gre; nbaeks |
might be called in and burned. In
order that the peoples non-interest-
bearing money might be replaced
with great Understanding plutoera-
tic greenbacks. In order that ma
tlonal banks might produce a curren-
cy which could only exist when Dor
ro"ed from bank, and the govern
ment currency-the greenback be re-
tired and burned. =,
The way they did it was this: The
ordered fresh issues of
'consols' --bonds-to be bought bv
bankers for g"eenbacks at from thir.
weight to sixty on the dollar. The
pohas Went out to draw interest in
goid Tor the banker-the greenbacks
came IN, and were burned up-to the +
