An ,b.ss are the necessary incidents to the
gyowth of our country, and they produce nee
essary increase Of the public expenditures.
This the Whg orators well know; but they
keen il out Of sight and endeayor to make the
people think that the Administration is cxtraya-
CANT because the public expenditures are not as
small as they we're fifteen or twenty years ago
Let us illustrate the absurdiiy Of this post-
ion by reference to the Post Office Department,
which more than any other grows with the
growth of the country.
In 1926 the number OF post Offices was 6.G77
Ia teoa il WAS 1867
In 1925 the number Of post routes IN opera
,ion wa, about l,209
+, 1879 il was about 2,67O
10 1925 the revenue Of the Depart
men, was SI.252. .06l
In 1925 il was 4,262 li5
Within this period 6, 900 had been added TO
the number of post routes, and $4,000 600 10
the revenue Of the Department. lnasmuch
as il is the practice Of the Department To apply
the entire revenue TO the mail service, II follow
ed as necessary consequence that the exPen-
ditures we're increased about 5000. 600 also.
VIII any man say that the establishment OF
new post routes By Congress, or OF new post
Offices by the Postmaster General. Increasing
the expenditures Of the Department more than
tration is deserving Of censurc Were they
not necessary for the accommodation OF our
enterprising and prosperous people Would
not the Administration have been wanting IN
duty, If it had not promoted this increase OF
public expenditure, 1t being necessary TO ex-
tend the benefits Of the mail system to new set
dement's and towns, aud increase the facilities
of old onesl Or will tire Wing orators under
take TO persuade the people, that every mail
route and post office established since 1879
ought to be discontinued, and every improve
ment in the speed and frequency of the mails
Withdrawn, that the expenditures may beireduc-
ed TO the level Of that year! The common
sense Of the people would laugh TO scorn any
such proposition. They would say that al
though the 6900 new post Offices added $500
men TO the army OF office holders whom II
attempted to render odous, and although the
! ,G6l additional mail routes added at least 5000
men TO the recipients Of the public money, and
both together have added S3,000,0O0
to the public expenditures, yet inasmuch as
they were necessary to the public accommoda-
ton, aud yield revenue sufficient for their
support, the Government would have deserved
ccnsure if they had not been created and would
be justly denounced they were TO be abolished.
The same principle pervades every other de-
partmeht of the Government. The growth OF
the country produces necessity Tor enlarged
for its accommodation aud de-
fence, as a matter of course increasing the pub
lie expenditures. TO build mp these enlarged
in obedience to law, so far from
being crime in the Administration, is its i'm
perative duty. II would deserve the public
reprobation if il did not take the responsibility
Df doing so, whatever might be the consequent
Increase of the public Gtobe.

Leaving the cars, we walked up the ravins,

be quite warm from the effects of the internal
fire, and impregnated so strongly with alkaline
substances as be be extremely nauseous to the
taste.
We now prepared TO ascend the west brow of
the Broad Mountain. Beetling above us for
some hundred feet, and belching forth smoke
and flame, arose the track Of the vein, which
we ascended on the crop. A little putting and
blowing brought us to the second level, where
