into new life and vigor with jtho tcr

strikingly true] the homes of tho peo*

This is a remarkable phenom
enon, pnd quite in contrast with,tho
condition of. bur'country at the close
of the revolutionary war, but, the
course pursued by this government
has brought it about. ■ Private has
been.oschangod jfor public indebted
ness. ■ The natiqu is involved lo an
enormous amount. Every State, eve
ry county, and every town has accu
mulated; debt to anmxloht before un

'. This fact must gieatly influence the
future. Taxation will bo heavy, con-
and pressing. It will boar
|with grfiat force dh the masses.of the
people.! Their consumption of Wealth',
and, of Course, their trade, must bo
pe3tric|cd. Whatj a man pays, in tax
es bo cannot expend for hlolbce. Ev
cry expenditure must bo curtailed to
facet tjfao dolnanil's of tho inevitable
ax gatherer. The result will bo,that

I extraordinary consumption more-
Those who pay the taxes must buy
less; those who receive the I public div

fewer necessaries, proportionately,

[ Tho crisis through which wo are
now-passing is destined, whether for
tunately or unfortunately, to ' assimi
latc tho nation, to! European, civiliza
