This shows conclusively that the ordinary means
ever since Sept 80, 1884, down to the 3Olh Sept.
1899, have been nearly $4,000 mere than the or
binary expenditures and that this excess has been
applied to the State House. As to the settlement
OF the sinte debt tue writer is equally wide eli tho
mark. We are not yet reduced to The dilemma Of

al government, Vermont is not running up her
ordinary expenses beyond the natural increase of
the population and resources Of the state: on the
other hand, as lia wealth Of the state increases,
we may anticipate a reduction in the annual tax.
Til. is, we believe, capable of emonstration but
we hive already extended these remarks beyond
our intended limits. We deemed this much ne

bound in all charity to suppose he will desire to
