Our people are committing an act of great foily to be buying property of all kinds at ten times wljrtt it will bring when the war is over, while foreigners arc buying their G, 7 and 8 per cent, bonds and carrying them abroad. These bonds will bring more in' specie when peace comes than they are bringing now in currency, and wc will have to pay these strangers in fall whether we wish or not; whereas, if we kepf the bonds at Jigme, we would get back all the taxes collected "to pay the interest. I am trying to pay for all foreign supplies out of the profits on cotton, and we have nothing to buy with bonds- and Treasury Notes but flour, corn, meat and manufactured goods, and to pay transportation to railroads If wc break down under such circumstances, it will be our own fault, and we wil! deserve nobody's compussiou or sympa thy.
