It is the nationality of this promise to pay, backed up by the most vigilant, distrustful and thorough system' of taxation,' for the enforcement of which the whole power of the Government, military and civil, is pledged, that makes British cdnsols the equivalent, practically, of British guineas - that makes the four thousand millions of British debt an addition of four thousand millions of money to the capital the Kingdom otherwise possessed at the' beginning of this century.
