Extract from the Speech of Mr. Graves of
Kentucky, on the Treasury Note Bill.
WHY is THE COUNTRY IN DEBT,
& WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 1T?
The President has informed US that the
nation is in debt, and has not the means
TO meet its engagements; the national
faith is pledged, and unless the means
are raised, it must be forfeited. How has
this state of things been brought about,
and what party are blamed for it!
In addition to the payments 10 the old
national debts, this Government has col
lected and expended in the last fifteen
years $3O7, sol 400. For four of these
fifteen years the administration of the
Government was In the hands of the
Wings; and in that time they expended
Just $5O,3Ol,9ll and an annual aver
age of $l2,572,477, as appears by the
following table:

From the lst Of January, 1887, up to

levied upon and collected from the Peo-
pie, through the customs and public
lands, as it appears from public docu-
ments and reports of the Executive de-
nartments. $9O,4O6,O66
Then, if the expenditures
of the Government had been
kept down to its receipts, the
average annual expenditure
would have been 500, $780,
355; but in addition to this
amount Congress has aPpro- "
propriated and placed in the

These are few of the effects produced
by the administration of Mr. Van Buren,,
on the business and prosperity of the
country, and which are enough in my
opinion to make the people reflect serious
ly.
Times have been getting worse ever
since he came into power; the people have
been getting poorer; labor getting scarce,
and the price Of labor lowering. 0
From the above facts, conclude, that
change in our rulers is absolutely ne
cessary-a change may, and l trust will,
be for the better.
While we continue Mr.. Van Buren, in
power, we never can expect things to
mend, as he seems determined to carry
out his ruinous measures at all hazards,
regardless of the sufferings and ''lamenta.

Harrison; try him, and as he only means
