In England, every rich man's houses, and lands, and horses, and carriages, and furniture, are heavily taxed ; and every poor man's bread, and meat, and coffee, and tea, and sugar, and fuel, and clathing. This is what Franklin would call paying '• too dear for the whistle." Take another view of the subject: " The war debts of the European rations amount to $>10,000,000,000 (ten thousand millions.) It would require the labour of four millions of men, at $150 per annum for each man, to pay the interest of this sum at 6 per cent. To pay the principal, it would be neeessary to tax every inhabitant of the globe at least $10. Another fact, rendering this more impressive, may be found in the fact, that no heathen nations are in arrears for the butcheries they have perpetrated on the hu- m
