Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Public Debt of the United States: Its Organization; Its Liquidation; Administration of the Treasury; The Financial System The National Debt is the subject, above all others, which fills the thoughts and claims the anxieties of every serious mind in the country. It is a movable weight on the deck of our ship of State, which, by proper regulation may give it stability and govern its course, or by bad management may keep it rolling dangerously from side to side, to the common alarm and injury. As the control of this weight, under existing laws, is necessarily entrusted for the greater part to a few persons, it is a source of double disquietude and apprehension on one hand from the possible incompetence of the management, on the other from the power that it gives to serve personal or party ends. Before the rebellion the public treasury was only a subsidiary of the government; the people were hardly conscious of its existence. Now, its proportions are great enough to be their master. It lays its hand heavily on their daily life - on all their labors, their wants, and their enjoyments. The necessity of a yearly revenue of several hundred million of dollars gives law to industry, imposes regulations that govern production, and already begins to injure the employments of the people.
