Gen. Treas'r.
You see by the above certificate that
the national REPUBLICAN SENATE, when
they went cut of office in May 1929, left
a balance Of S8854 O5 in the treasury,
and you see how, from year to year the
Jackson Senate were constantly and
steadily decreasing that amount, without
providing any means Of arresting the
downward course Of your state finances,
until May 1881, when like idle, careless,
thriltless drones they had almost consum-
cd the amount which had been accumu-
lated by the providence and skilful man.
agement of their almost,
did l say,-they had not only consumed
that, but had EATEN IN, very largely up
on the school fund. You will observe
by the certificate of the General Treas
urer, that the expenditures of the last
year ofthe Jackson Governor and Jack
son Senate, exceeded the receipts to a
very large amount, viz: S4479 %, while
under the administration Of Governor
Arnold and the present National Repub-
hcan Senate, the recei pts for ordinary
expenses have thus far exceeded the ex-
penditures by very considerable sum,
viz: S7O4 80. 1t has also been shown
by the certificate ofthe General Treasu-
rer that Governor Arnold and the Na-
ional Republican Senate have invested
and added to the permanent school fund
in ten months Sl5, 1914 II, and that Gov
enor Fenner and his Jackson Senate
during the whole Of last year invested
only $1,000 0o-being nearly THREE
TINES as much invested by Governor Ar
mold in Ten months, as Governor Fenner
did in f,seire.
You will probably wish to know how
these different results, so much to the adj
vantage Of Governor Arnold and the
National Republican Senate have been
effected. They have been effected by
improving the system of revenue created
by lottery grants-by Bonuses for new
Bank charters-per centage or increase
Of Bank capital and interest ON deposits
in Banks; and the unparalleled sum Of
$42, I59 ID has in ten months been re-

We are taught by high authority to
judge Of a tree by its FRUIT. Sensible
and practical men always look well to
X E S u l. rs. FAcTs, when they can
be obtained clearly and indisputably, are
much more satisfactory than vague polit
ical speculations. Experience, in polit-
ical matters, is safer guide than idle
conjecture. fyou have neighbor who
expends S4,479 % cents a year MORE
than his annual income, don't set him
down as decidedly unthrifty and very
careless and bad manager of his pecunia-
ry concerns? If on the other hand your
neighbor is careful to PROVIDE means for
his current and ordinary disbursements
and expenditures, and keeps constantly
a surplus on hand sufficient to meet any
contingency, while at the same time he
is investing very large sums in perma-
nent funds for the education and future
advancement OF his children, do you not
readily conclude that he is prudent,
provident and safe conductor of his fam
lily affairsI Does not the same rule hold
good in public concerns? If it is shown
that the financial condition of our state
was constantly deteriorating and indeed
had become desperate under the admin
istration Of one party-and that it had
been growing better, and has become
prosperous beyond parallel under the
administration Of an other, which, wav-
ing all political principles and considera-
tions, would you deem it for your inter.
est to support' The last most certainly.
Well; let us now see how the fiscal con-
Germs Of the state have been managed
from May 1929 to May l83l-the two
years that a Jackson Governor with a
Jackson Senate managed your affairs,
and then look at the results Of the fnan-
eial operations of the National Republi-
can Governor s. Senate from May 1881
to March 8, 1882.

without struggle, which will involve worse consequences
even, than those which the fruitful Imagination has
pictured as resulting from slavery. The next question
which arises in the order of enquiry, is, they be

this enquiry is found in statistical tables The value

times the amount of present In order there

the law establishing the Bank of the United States
Upon this head his piece perfectly unsatisfactory 1t is
not the object of the writer of these few remarks TO 90

the people at large would take interest and he regrets
that Mr. Barbour should think proper drag before the
public He says himself, that he had hitherto thought
that he was responsible only TO his constituents for his
conduct on that occasionand that they had passed sa
hsactory verdict upon it, Then he also should have been
satisfied and remained silent. But he says that this he
could not do the subject had been brought so proi
neny forward before the public This no good reason
why Mr. B should make his appearance at this time be-
fore the public This of his in relation TO the Bank
was subject OF public animadverion when took place

There can be no doubt, from his publication that such is
