Warn- ig against being too visionary, Barnum told of a “philoso- hie pauper who was kick d out of a cheap boarding-house ecause he could not pay his bill, but he had a roll of papers icking out of his coat pocket which, upon examination, roved to be his plan for paying off the national debt of ngland without the aid of a penny.” This gentleman, had he lived today in America, would tost certainly be in politi Barnum warned of debt as a consuming monster. thrif reached — economy — but He believed in moderation, utioning against saving extravagantly as well as spending | 0 lavishly.
