When the Adams administration, in
the year 's9, laid direct tax Of tlvo
million anilarS, hue and cry was. raised
by the democrats throughout the who's
country. Fyrannyi Oppression Pro-

The SQUAD OF these mur.nurinEs had
scarcely died On our ears, when these
same democrats, after impoyerishmg

goes and restrictions. lay direct tax Of
THREE Iaiiiions. If a lwo million tax
twelve years ago was tyrannical. prod'-

The Washington and Adams admi-
nistration, have sometimes been aceus,
ed by tho democrats Of prodlgalIty and
wa.tefulness. The whole expenditure
of the government during the twelve
years they administered it, was "a 743,
s88 dollars; more than IS millions OF
which were for principal and interest OF
the public debt; leaving for civil, mill
tary, naval and all other expenses less
than 40 million of dollars. Our econo-
nicaI democratic administrator estl'
mats their civil, military and naval eS-
penses for the single year 1914, at ~
million, FIVE hundred thousand dollars !!
Thev spend in one year what Washing
ton and Adams spent in twelve. Ihey
spend in one month what lasted the *
deral administration whole gear
These calculations are founded upon
the estimate which the government IT.
self has made Of its expenditure tor the
snsuin,r wear. But it should be always
kent in mind that The estimates OF tine
government have Cor several years past
uniformly fallen short sesera! million
dollars Of the actual expenditure.
Let it be Remembered 100 that we
have not taken into consideration the e.
| normous qusn,ities cf land which have
been given away III boun'ies to tue SOL
diers. Thsse lands are not allowed 10

armv to- the present year have each o!
them | so acres Of this land, making Tor
the whole number l00so,ooo acres,f
the value Of which at two dollars an a.
ere Is upwards Of 90 million dollars.
Perhaps It may be thought that the loss
| of these lands will not be so severely felt
by the country as the loss OF money.
| But it should be recollec!ed that the
sale fpualic lands is source OF reve-
nue. 10 the government. When the
war is over these soldiers lands viii be
bought up by spectators and come in
to marketin successful competition with
the government lands. The effect vii,
be that the government probably tor ~
or so years sil be unable TO sell, and
shis source Of revenue for that period
of lime must be dried up; the direct
taxes must In consequence be increased
to supply the deficiency. The people,
therefore, will finally feel the burden.
