State finances show debt and retrenchment under Democrats
The article analyzes the October 1871 Treasurer report noting a total state debt of 3,937,821.00 and annual interest of 233,084.00. It contrasts Radical claims of debt elimination with shown interest payments and highlights savings in 1871 from reduced expenditures and taxes under Democratic rule, while urging unity against centralization.
