That was the con'rnct. That debt was created when greenbacks ranged from l."0 to 250, and would it be fair or jost for the creditors to insist upon a payment in gold! If a credit invested in bonds when t-vo dollars in greenbacks could be bought for one dollar in gold, and if those bonds should now be placed on a gold basis, he would, at even the present valne of gold, he receiving about sixteen and two-lhinh

The ascertained deotis now about 8,600,000000 and even if the interest, with the consent of the creditors should be reduced to five per cent, the annual gold interest would ilien amount ,0 j 180,000,000, about two fold more than the en'ire eniiunl expenditures of the last Democr tic adminiatration. And it must a,be recoected thar ihia is only one item of our vast annual governmental outlays. What hope, wt aek the taxpayer bo ho radical or Democrat, j there for relief from the party that has been running the Gov,ernnieilt tur ,he pti sven years. Under that rule the public debt is increaanii sn.1 iL will increase largely and rapidly if the pres. ent financial policy is persisted in. By taking off the manufacturers tux for the especial bent lit of the New Knglaod and Eastern manufacturers, ihe annual revenue will be lessened about $'.i0,O00,00, and that too witheat a corresponding reduction in the expenditures. If the public debt it now increasing, as tbe report of lbs Secrtltry of the Treasury chow, no argument or demot .- stfttion can be needed lo satisfy tvsn Ihe most skeptical and obdurate radical partisan thai there must necessarily be a large addition to ihe public debt and with it a weakening of the public credit. As we have remarked the people need not expect a changn lor the better, under the present rule. The) party in power has been weighed and fuUnd wanting. The reform must come from the people themselves. And the opportunity t rapidly approaching. Soon there will bo an opportunity f.-r a peaceful revolution through Ihe agency of the ba'lot box, by giving the conirol of tbe Government to a parly that will reduce the public expenditures, restore tbe exrluded States lo their proper places in the Union ,-.nd thus increasei the general prosperity and by retrenchment and economy diminish tbe public debt ani hasen '.he burdens of the people, h i h t the people, themselves to dt lermiue whether this change shall lake place.
