EXpENsTYE LEGIsLATToN.

We took occasion, last week, to notice the enormous expenses of the late Legislature, and endeavored to show the amount of the 1" dear peoples" money that had been vast ed and squandered during the session. The Times notices our remarks, and thinks it would afford the public much greater satis- Faction to know how may times the bill hold CT has been told within the last six weeks, at the Hartford Bank, and that he could have no change" We think it altogether proba- ble-for we doubt whether it affords the pulp lie any "greGt satisfaction" to know what an enormous sum they have been obliged to pay for the use of "t the democracy" in the State House, "the last six weeks;" and it evident ly affords the democracy" themselves uery Ehze satisfaction to have their bills examined and audited by the public.
 The people demand faithful account of their servants, and will be satisfied with mo- thing short of this. It cannot be shown, and we defy the Times to point out to us single session of the legislature, when so much of the peoples money has been wasted in ex- penses, in one session of equal length, as du- ring the late session. Look at the debenture bill, with the contingent expenses, amounting to $21 1,544 26-of which amount, $6,O42, was appropriated to pay for time when the legis- lature were not in session-seven days pay in-
 
 legislature adjourned; so that the members received pay for whole week after they had returned home and resumed their customary employments.
 The printing bill, 10 which we alluded last week, should not be forgotten-$572 10, for printing! A snug little sum, truly! The same amount of printing ought to have been done for about half the money. But this matters not-the " By Authority" press must be rewarded, and the people must pay for it it is very easy to charge the extras to the account of "paper and twine !''
 We wish our readers to compare the de- benture bill of the legislature of 1884, in which it will be recollected the Wings were maiority-with that of 1887. The bill for the session in 1884, was but $l5,596 63, which is $5,947 43 less than that of the last legislature. Our readers will doubtless re- collect the hue and cry raised by our oppo- nents, some time since-the Wings were charged with extravagance in expenditures, and the dear people" were called upon to elect representatives who would check these expenditures-and now they hGue checked them, with interest! lift affords great satis- taction'' to the people of Connecticut to be robbed of their money, in this manner, we greatly mistake their sentiments on the sub- iect.-Hartford Courier.

The annexed paragraph viii show the
extent of the trace carried on by England
ane America in this seemingly worthless
article. The consumption Of rags by France
alone must be great, and when we add the
rest Of Europe, where paper making and
paper printing are carried Oh very largely,
we can form some idea of the vast quanti-
ty OF rags necessary to supply the demand
for thcircoasumpiion.
Trade N RAGs.--Thoush rags arc apt
to be dcspised and scotlad al, they are new
crtheIcss most important article of com.
merce, and one without which, in this pres.
cnt enlightened, book making, and newspa.
pcrlal aye, it would be exceedingly difficult.
10 get along. In fact, were it not for rags.
we should neither have the wherein TO write
tbs paragraph, nor the whercou 10 print il.
TIE English trade in rags is very exten.
S're. Their importation from the conf
nent On an average for the last eight years
has been $4,000 bales. These are brought
chiefly from Germany, Hungary, Scic,ly,
and Italy. The places of export arc Ham.
burg, Bremen, Rostock, Trieste, Lcghorn,
Palermo, and Messina.
Besides the imports of rags into Great
Britain, an amount twice as Il.gc is collect.
ed in the three kingdoms where from 500
TO 900 papermiIIs are in operation-manu-
featuring in al, ore hundred and fifteen
thousand pounds weight of rags per day.
America has, Of late years, entered into
considerable competition with Great Britain,
in the importation ofrags from the continen.
of Europe. Our importation, for nearly
three years preceding 1886 averaged near.
ly 10000 bales. For the first halfvear Of
1886, it was 5000 bales. Each bale is cs.i.
mated at 4 cwt.
Owing TO this American competition in
: the rag trade, the British paper mauufac,u-
rcrs have been forced to the use of subsli-
lutes, such as the refuse of fax and cotton
mills, and Of cotton baggng 10 considera-
bic extent; and the price Of rags had in
creased in England during the las. six
months to the amount Of 10 per cent. II
the use ofpaper goes on increasing for
few years TO come, as i has for few years
past, We know not whither the materials for
It's Manufacture are to come from. Peo
pie must wear oul more clothes than they
have done, or be more careful in saving the

which, for many years past, have been OF
