OUR DEBT AKD GROWTH.
At the Fair of the American Institute
for 1870, in New York, interesting re
marks were made by Horace Greeley,
followed by nn address delivered by
George I!, boring of Salem, Mass., from
which we copy the following, in (elation
to our national debt and growth.
As we contemplate the rapid development
of our industry, and the constant increase of
our population, from which no other country
has drawn by emigration; and as we witness
also our continued prosperity, we may find
in this a substantial solution of many of our
financial problems, and encourage ourselves
with the thought that our growing national
wealth, now manifest to all, is the sure foun
dation of our national credit. I study with
interest the various theories advanced for the
payment and funding of our national debt,
and all efforts to make that debt as light a
load as possible. But from all this I turn to
our various national industries, with the as
surance that in them lies our national
strength. I have faith in a busy population.
Asking only for economy in public expendi
tures, for a reduction of all internal taxation
to tin- lowest point consistent with our public
necessities, for the prot ction of every brancli
of American industry against foreign compe
tition. for such an adjustment of the national
debt as will rest with equal weight upon the
resources of the present and the multiplied
resources of the future. I can confidently
wait for the national growth during the next
ducade, in every industrial effort which will
add to our wealth, and develop the resources
of our vast domain. It is not difficult to ac
count for the activity of a people whose terri
tory, extendiug over the best latitudes, and
stretching entirely across a continent, is
hound together by ample railway communi
cation. Not' traffic on the high seas, nor on
interior water-courses, constitutes now the
most profitable and influential trade of our
people. But the great brotherhood of States,
one now in social and civil law, one in inter
est, and made one neighborhood by'railroad
and telegraph, possesses a vital commercial
force which cannot exist between rival and
discordant nations. And so the manufacturer
of the North finds a market now almost at his
very doors, among the broad agricultural
I districts of the South and West. Every acre
ui com mm l'ihuiii lanu can pour at once as
products into the channels of trade. There
is a local or a distant market for every pro
ducer, from which he can choose according
to his own host advantage, and the occupation
of which, in a profitable manner, constitutes
the success of his business. I look, there
fore, to the tie v elope meat of this great inter
nal enterprise, aided by cheap and rapid rail
way communication, and by the most ingen
ious machinery, for the life of our home
market, for the revival and support of our
commerce, and for our financial success.
It is not necessary for me to enlarge upon
the grow th of our Manufactures, extending
now into every State in the t'nion, and sig
nificant of a growing disposition to apply our
producing forces to well-defined and accurate
modes of business. For this you all know—
and you know, moreover, that to such enter
prise as this we are to attribute the most sub
stantial wealth of our largest cities—even
those possessing good harbors and every op
portunity for the best commercial relations.
To estimate, moreover, tbe value of our agri
cultural products, would not be easy. But I
would call your attention to a significant fact
in our foreign commerce, and you can then
judge how important is this one branch of in
dustry, Agriculture alone, for the accomplish
ment of that financial success to which 1 have
alluded. The value of the domestic commod
ities exported daring the nine months ending
March 31, 1870, was $370,302,107. Of this,
the value of agricultural products was $247,
808,814, consisting of beef, $1,302,083; ba
con, $5,312,599; cheese, $7,181,640; cotton,
$170,182,270; Hour, $16,586,174; wheut,
$37,550,248) tobacco, $16,601,773; tallow,
$8,134,917. The balance- of our exports,
amounting to about $130,000,000, consisted
mainly of products of manufactures and the
arts. Taking into account, then, the vast
amount of domestic goods consumed Uy forty
millions of people, anil the agricultural pro
ducts, the estimated value of which in 1869
was $3,000,000,000, necessary for their sub
sistence, ami adding the surplus of each ex
