Good! The National Debt has been cipher ed up, and the sum total is a big one,— but the American people is a big one too. On the Ist of July next our debt will foot up in round numbers Three Thousand Millions. We can pay it with out strain, without oppression. We can pay it, and add to, our wealth. But we have got to practice economy, public and private.. We have particularly- to apply economy and watchfulness to the Legislation of Congress, and to the ad . inistration of the Departments and Bureaus in Washington. The expenses of the Government mist be shoved back rapidly and in good faith toward the old peace footing of 1860. We may never again get quite to that,—but let us get . as near to it as we can. The ablest statists in the service of the Treasury Department have been di rected to - measure the wealth and 're sources of the nation, and to calculate when it will be possible for us to pay, and probable that we will pay, that im mense debt of Three Thousand Millions.

NATIONAL DEBTS AND U. S. STOCKS.- The creation of national debts is not a modern improvement, but the ability o f a great nation to provide for a great debt, and to make it the most conveni ent and best fOrmlof personal property, is a modern wonder. The debt of Great Britain was begun by raising a million sterling by loan in 1692, and when her great contest with Louis XIV was ter minated, the debt had reached fifty mil lions.:Many statesmen and economists were then alarmed at the great burden which had been imposed upon the indus try of the country, but when the war of the Austrian succession had swelled this amount to - eighty' millions, Macaiiley - says , that Ilistorians and orators pro nounced the , case to be desperate. But when war again broke out, and the na tional debt ,was rapidly carried ,up to one hundred and forty; millions, men of theory and business both pronounced that the, fatal day ha& certainly; arrived. David Hume said that, : although, by taxing its energies to the l ,utmoet„ the country might.poesibly live r through, 'it, the experiment n3ust, never, be repeated,. —even a small increase might be; fatal.. Granville said the nation ingst, sink tin, der, it unless.some ,portion .of the load was born by the American Celoplee, and the attempt,to impose this load.pro duced the mar of : the revolution, and in stead of dimirtishing,, added another hundred millions to,the burden. Again, says Macauley, was England , given, over, but again she was more prosperous than, ever before.
