A PROPAGATE PRESIDENT.
9oNomy OF MARTIN VAN BuREN's ADMINlsrl

ECONOMY OF MARTIN VAN BUREN'S ADMINISTER
During the night on which the discussions
tho subtreasury bill was brought TO close il
the committee ofthe whole, Mr.. Profit of Indi
ana, made speech OF great affability and oil
feet, which we hope will be given to the publ
at length. There was one passage that pre-
sented in most striking manner the unpara
lelled extravaganza OF this federal administra
ton, and the hollowness Of all its professions
Of economy. We now publish this part Of the
speech, and call the attention of our readers K
its statements. They may DO startling, but
they are true.
from Gd psG i d UJAE Pt h Rad HgP fGgSP u
Buren's recommendations Of economy. Mr.
said he was willing to allow that the presldenf
had made professions Of economy, but tho ques
ton here was, had he prGctiScd on these pro
(essions? Mr.. p said he would read state
ment Of expenditures made by Mr Van Buren,
which statement he, Mr.. p, had placed in the
hands of the chairman Of the committee O
ways and means, previous to that gentleman
addressing the committee, with special re-
quest that he would relute the statement, il il
was erroneous. This the chairman had ne,
elected to do, and therefore Mr.. p felt it his
duty to read it. Sir, said Mr.. Profit charge
upon Van Buren, that he has expended over and
above all the accruing revenues of the govern
lment, since he came into power, twenty seven
millions three hundred thousand dollars, and
has run the govern ment in debt five millions
more, and now will prove it.
Tho act providing for tho distribution Of
the surplus revenue directed, that on the first
day of January, 1897, it should be distributed,
retaining in the treasury five millions Of dol
lars.

VAN AN D THE FARMER.
TuNE-The King andAe Countryman

Farmer there was who lived at North Bend,
Esteemed by his neighbors and many u friend
And you'll see, on a time, if you follow my ditty,
How he took short walk up to Washington CITY.
Ri tn, di nu, di nu, di nu,
Ri tn nu, ri tn di nu, ri ma
His tidy log cabin he left with regret,
And he put up sign that it would be LETT
But whatever rare sights the White House might dis
play,
He'd find none SO strange as he'd seen in his day.
Ri tu, &c.
The farmer walked on, and arrived at the door,
And he gave such thump as was neer thumped be
fore;
Mister Van thought the rap was the sound of fail,
And his heart beat with fear, and he turned deadly
pale,
Ri tn, &c.
"Run John and run Levi--run Joel, and JIM"
Said Van, "but leave Amos, cannot spare him;
There's only one living dGres make such ado;
That sturdy old fellow called Tippecanoe."
Ri tn, &c.
They were allgrowng merry, and taking champagne,
And the farmer inpatient raped louder again;
To the door all the cabinet ministers run,
To demand who so boldly had spelled all their fun.
Ri tu, &c.
Says Tip, ''my fine fellows get out of my way,
I've routed whole armies like you in day;
My mind is made up to walk into that chair,
Where Van takes his wine with q staggering air.
Ritu, &c.
Then Amos who listened spoke up, "Mister Van,
know how to tickle that old farmer man;
I'll ask him politely to come up and dine,
And then we can muddle his wits with the wine
tn. &c.
"oh! pray, Mister farmer, just walk up this way,
We hardly expected to see you this day;
So many stout swiggors here at this time.
There's but one bottle left, but you'll find it is
prime"
Ri tn, &c.
~ tell you what, Amos, / see what you're at,
won't take glass of chanpaigne, and that's flat
But a mug of hard cider will my turn,
It's getting in fashion up here as learn"
Ri tn, &c.
Then Amos and Van searched the table all round,
Not drop of hard cider was there to be found;
SO the farmer advised them to lay in store,
By the fourth Of next March if they shouldn't before
Ri tn, &c.
The farmer was off, but twas easy to see, ef
That his visit had sobered their cabinet glee;
And Van said he knew how the matter would end,
He should have to clear out for the man OF North
Bend

twenty seven millions three hundred thousand

king the amount Of expenditure beyond the
income Of the government, thirty two millions

laid his hands on nothing but the regular in

How long, sir, could we stand this without d.
rec, taxation?
Mr.. Van Buren, has been in Office little more
than three years, and has expended thirty two
millions three hundred thousand dollars Of ca
plial besides our regular income. Should he
DO reelected, he will in eight years, at the same
rate, have expended, over and above the accru-
ing revenue, upwards Of Seventy one Millions!
This, sir, is economy! beautiful, Praiseworthy
economy!
