Corresnandence Cincinnati Enquirer. Cnrcac, Dec. 26.—The Chicago nowspapers are makhig figures lie. They are taking fouo- cent, barmiess fizures and putting them in hive, and making them dress-parade around so as to prove—absulutely prove—that Ohlo, New York, and Massachusetts owe more than 1lilnols. Tue State Treasurer at Spriugfeld has arraoged whole columns of figures to prove that the com- bined town, county, end State debt of Illinols is less than the combined town, county, and Stute debt of Oblo, Pennsyivanis, New Yurk, or Massachusetts, 1 kuew thcre was some decen- tlon about the figures given, sod so the other day, in Spriukteld, I made some inquiries about them. i * Where (s the falincy in this statement1# I asked of a prominent officlal, “ Certatuly Iil- nois owes more than Ohlo,” “The fallacy s this,” replied my friend. “They do vot eive the full Indebtedaese of 11l nois. They don't givea tenth part of her in- dehteduess, Now, to lilustrate, they put down the combined town and county indebtedness of MeLean Couaty, in which Bloomlngton [s situ- ated, at about 500,000, when, fn fact, McLean County owes over 6,000,000 [!], aud pays over $50,000 Interest money cvary year to Ohlo, New York, Massachuscits, and the East. 'They don’t say anything about the mortgages on farms. They ouly talk about town, county, and city debts. There aro to-day debts hanging over the Iiinols farmers, sccured by mortgages on their farms, amountiog to over $230,000,0%. McLean Cottoty to-day, I say, pays over 830,000 anoital nterest money. The difference Letween Onlo or any Eastern 8tate and [linols is this: Tn oth- er States the fudividual farmers ere pretty well out uf debt, nnd theonly debts standing are smalt county and town dabts, while in Illinols abuut every farmer owes for his farm. In Ohlo, if the farmer owes anything ho owes it to his neighbor, while in Tllinois the farmer owes over in Counecticut siid Massachusetts. ‘There is no use disguisivg i3 the Iilinols farmer Is in n bad way. ‘They have had averago bud crops 1n [llinuls for over four years., Iler farwmers aro dishieartened, and tho m;-:gls in this great State living on rich lands areto-day strug- rling along in pav:r'{.
