THE AMERICAN DEBT MAXIA
Few realize the chilling and blight
ing fact that the present generation
are contracting debts to the extent of j
thousand of millioua which they can
not, ami, in fact, do not intend to pay,
but which are to bo inherited by our
children, and form a burden as heavy
as they can bear, even if they do not
steTgf under or become crushed by
it. With reckless extravagance we
contract debts for future generations
to pay, forgetting that their necessi
ties, growing out of wars and other
things, will undoubtedly be equal to
the means derived from their own
exertions," without the addition that
our misfortunes, extravagance and
folly shall add. How can we expect
that they will be able to more than
meet their own expenses when we do
not manfully grapple with any, and
pay our own? Do we expect, that
our descendants will earn more, or be
more economical, or freer from extra
ordinary calls thanVe are? A Are we
wiiling to admit our inferiority and
Suability to earn our living and meet
our own expenses, and do we wish to
affirm thatwe believe those who will
jollow ns will be able to do more
than we can or have done? The
last fonr generations have .had four
wars the revolution', that of 1812,
one with Mexico and " another wirh
ourselves. The debts . occasion
ed by either of the first three were
cancelled before another war came.
Have we just reason to expect that
our present public debts will be paid j
before another war will be upon us?
Our children, even without a war to
provide for, cannot pay our deb:s and
meet their own expenses. We want
ten thousand things, and get them,
but do not pay, leaving our debts,
whether contracted for necessaries or
to gratify onr ambition, or follies, or
wish for show and display or other
wise, for otherj to pay. Do honest,
wise and good fathers thus treat their
children? If not why should our
government, federal, 6late or munici
pal, do so?, ,,
We can turn no corner where debt
does not stare us in the face. When
we direct our attention to the federal
and state governments, to counties,
cities and town, we End mountains of
debt to be paid by future taxation.
Almost every town, village and coun
ty owes more or less, and so does
nearly every city. The debts of some
are enormous. About every State
owes its millions, and some many
mill ions. The National Government,
besides being security in hundreds of
millions for the whole litter of Na
tional banks, owes of acknowledged
debt almost two thoosand millions of
do'Jars. Our statistical bureaus eould
jiot be better employed than in col
lectiiFg a statement of all these debts
and publishing it. as Azariah C. Flagg
did. nee when Slate Comptroller.
Were these various debts aggregated
It would extite our astonishment. IP
all private indebtness could be ascer
tained and added it would occasion
perfect amazement. All securities)
puMie and private, are nothing but
deb .The currency in our pockets
or safes-, amounting to hundreds of
million of dollars, is simply debt due
frow the. Government, or ban-ks
neither baring a dollar in gold or sil
ver, or etiker thing of intrinsic valae
wherewith tt make payment. TIe
only security that either has to pro
tect the public is 6iroply other debts
more promises to- pay, and nothing
of intrinsic worth to cancel the num
berless Bullions of paper promises.
- Instead, of investing in productive
property and thereby adding to the
business and productions of the coun
try, our men of wealth buy up the
debt's of the federal government, and
thus escape taxation ; or of the States,
counties, cities, and- towns, and enjoy
the ineome of the dead, instead of
live capital. These debtsr when ag
gregated, are supposed to be equal to
one-fourth ef the asssessed value of,
1 tha entire real estate of the country.
If we add the debt of private individ
uals the asnounr will be very essen
tially increased, if not doubled. It
thus appears that our show of great
prosperity and wealth is illusory and
without solid foundation. When- is
this debt-contracting, system to end
and debt-paying begin ? -When- are
all these debts to be cancelled ? In
stead of passing laws authorizing the
eontrating.'of new debts, our law
makers should imperatively: forbid it.
and. pass others requiring payment
ot the old ones, with stringent penal
provisions- whenever this duty shall
be omitted .- 'i' A'. - ' -, -.- ..i

'Xothwithstanding the lact that the
facetious editor of , the Salem Slate'
man affects to sneer at our assertion
of last week that the Democratic par
ty is not dead, we still insist upon our
proportion and .believe that the fu
ture will fully vindicate our assertion.
Not only are the honored name and
the cherished principles of the party
destined to live, but despite mistakes
and defeats it is sure to be again tri
umphant. Notwithstanding the er
ror of Passivism, the trickery of Con
ventions and the deinagoguery of self
styled leaders, the organization of the
party will be. kept up and its harmony
preserved ' until t victory , shall once
more perch upon it' banners. The
errors of the past can not now be
remedied, butf they will be as future
beacon lights to warn our Democrat
ic pilots against the shoals and rocks
which have -almost caused the de
struction of the staunch old ship.
The returns of our own State show
that nearly four thousand Democratic
voters remained away from the pells
at the Presidential elootion. This
number, added to those who voted,
would have carried Oregon against
Grant. Does any one suppose that
when onr former party lines aro
drawn these four thousand voters will
not be again found, as of yore,
working in the Democratic party, for
the preservat ion of its .cherished prin-!
ciples ? Their instincts and teachings
are all with the Democratic party,
and there they, will always be iound.
Let blatant Radicals prate about
dead Democracy to their mouTa satiety
that is their stock in trade; but let
no .Democrat tor a moment think ot
abandoning the Democratic name or
party organization;- for in adhering to
them is onr political strength, our ul
timate triumph and our country's sal
vation from tyranny, misrule and out
rage. We have our Democratic Cen
tra! Committees National, State and
county whoso duty it will be
to call Democratic Conventicms and
work for the preservation of the
party organization. We will make
our nominal ions as in times past,
within our own lines, from our own
men, cordially welcoming within our
organization, and sharing our honors
with all ho choose to marshal under
our. banners, no matter, what their
past political afliiiations may have
been. With this purpose in view we
buckle ton ourarmr for coming bat
tles, and with this sign we shall con-!
quer. '
Fees of Officers. Much adoj
has been made by some of our Demo- j
cratic contemporaries, about the
changes made in the fees of Clerks
ami Sheriift, by the late Legislature.
All who are conversant with the lac's
in the case, know that the Democratic
Legislature ot 1870 lowered the fees
of Clerks and Sheriffs, in those coun
ties known to be Republican, while
in the Democratic counties no changes
were made. Ilostburg Pantagruph.
Not to put too fine a point upon
the matter, we will simply state that
the above is not true. In our own
county of Linn, which has for years
been Democratic, the fees were cut
down in 1870 just as they were in
Multnomah and Marion counties. No
distjetion was made in favor ef our
county because we had Democratic
officials, and the Pantograph man
either wilfully or ignorantly pervert
ed the facts when he made the decla
ration quoted above. Not only was
no distinction : made in favor of Dem
ocratic officials by the Legislature of
1870, but when the " late lamented"
Holiday Legislature had the increas
ing fee bill before it for consideration
Seaator lioolt, a Democrat from this
comity, asked that Linn be excepted
from the operations of this bill, be
lieving, as he stated, that the fe
bill passed in 1870 was sufficiently
liberal in its provisions. - We believe
that every Senator and Representa
tive from-our county voted this year
against their increase. -.
The statements we here make are
matters of record, and we defy the
Pantograph or any other Radical pa
per to successfully controvert them.
DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH, ACKKOWU
, . KDCED.
The Portland Jiulletin of a recent
date presents the following facts for
the consideration of its over-sanguine
andjubiliant Republican readears:
"The returns of the State show a
larger majority for the Grant, and
Wilson Electors than had been looked
for by the . most sanguine; yet it
would be Jolly to presume on this ma
jority as a. basis, tor future political
calculation and action. . Examination
of the returns shows that nearly three
thousand Democrats who voted their
party ticket in June refused to vote
for . Greeley. Further examination
shows that though the majority - for
the Grant and Wilson Electors is so
unexpectedly large, yet their vote is
considerably below: that thrown for
the .Republican candidate , for Con
gress in June last. To avoid mis
leading calculations for future elec
tions, these facts must be taken into
account. The strength of parties on
a straight' issue is very nearly even in
this State.- Democrats who did not
veto for Greeley are sure to vole in
future elections, and there is certain
to arise a vigorous, spirited and for
midable opposition which will sweep
jiiiu us j suu i ue greater jjai b ui mr
elements heretofore comprising , the
Democratic party, and doubtless some
of Republican' antecedents besides.
Let us not allow our heads to bo so
turned with victory that we shall
eommit the c blunder of underrating
our opponents.'-' , ' ; ,,- ..

sists of 5,000 men, commanded by
Purdy Ceyt, and goes to Zanzibar in
transports, with the intention of join
ing Dr. Livingstone and co-operating
with him, if agreeable ; otherwise, to
act independently in solving the prob
lem of the sources of the Nile under
Egyptian, colors. It is, however,
doubtful whether the expedition is
intended to join Livingstone or meet
Sir Samnel Baker, but to open a new
line of operations into Abyssinia.
The Commission to investigate the
outrages on the Rio Grande border,
have completed their report, which is
very long. They spent two hours
with the President on tne subject last
Saturday. The Commissioners con
fined their investigations to- the-distance
ot five hundred miles from the
Rio Grande to Rio Grande City, esti
mating lhat the Americans included
in this limit have suffered to the ex
tent of thirty million dollars, to say
nolhiug of tha murders committed by
Mexicans. They think if they had
continued, their investigations as far
as El Paso, it would have been dis
covered that the -total losses, includ
ing 'those caused by Indian raids,
would have increased the amount to a
hundred million . dollars. . They urge
protection for the people of the bor
der hy an increase of' cavalry. Oth
er-wise a predatory war will result
A dispatch to the New York Herald
says that tbe President in his Mes
sage has yielded this year, as he did
last, to the advice of experienced pol
iticians and changed its tenor, so far
as relates to the South. He giTes
that section a passing notice, praises
the wisdom' of the enforcement of
law, alludes to the' disappearance of
lawlessness in the South, at wall aa
the good behavior at the polls in the
November: election. He. hopes for
the continuation of this state of- af-
jfsin aUbcngh be has no special re-
commendation to make in behalf of j
the South.
He desires that Con
gress shall do whatever it deems wise
in the late rebel States, reiterating
his previous declarations. He cays
he has no policy to enforce against
the wishes of the people. The
country is felicitated on the ac
complishments under the Treaty of
Washington. Cuba is lightly passed
over, and the case of Dr. Houard re
ceives but brief mention. Mexico
does not receive a large share of at
tention. Our relations to different
foreign nations are disposed of with
the usual brief paragraph. The
Vienna Exposition, is commended,
and the Philadelphia Centennial is
spoken of. Oar credit abroad, the
efficient management of our foreign
and home policy, and the prosperity
of the nation make up the substance
of the balance of the message.
