Rivers ma rIarpor,.

II is with pleasure we witness the move
ment already being made in Congress. in IA
vor of appropriations for Rivers and Har-
bors in the West. On the first day of the
session, Mr.. Wentworth. Of Chicago, said
that if no one else would make the motion,
he, at the earliest possible day would move
TO 60 into Committee on the bill making ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors. Mr. Ben
ton, in the Senate, has gwen notice Of his
intention to bring in bill for this and other
purposes. Now here are a leading Demo-
crat in the Senate, and noisy Democrat IN
the House, the first members TO bring for
ward to the attention of Congress this ses-
sion, a measure which few years back
would only have been supported by Uhigs,
yet which now meets with the ardent support
Of both parties. Appropriations by the
General Government for Internal Improve
ments no longer meet with opposition by any
party. That time has gone by. We have
insisted upon this. and published letters from
prominent Democrats to prove that such OPP
position was no longer party principle with
them. If we loved party more than coun.
try, we should like 10 see the Democratic
party at this day opposing as party princi-
pie these appropriations. The Wing party
advocating these appropriations, could al
ways be successful in every section Of the
whole country.
How ridiculous it seems, when we sec
leading Democrats occupying the position sc
many of them have recently taken on thi;
question, and actually endeavorng to pusI
through Congress measures calculated tC
carry out the principle Of appropriations |o
Internal improvements, to find here anC
there in different quarters of the country
some little Democratic press yelping out il
opposition to these appropriations and thu;
boldly declaring the Old hounds of the pacl
at fault!
And how worse than ridiculous-how alb
surd, and how thoughtess Of the interests O
those who support it-lor a paper in tn,
West, to be found setting up violent out
cry against appropriations intended TO in
crease the prosperity of the West, advance
our commerce, protect the lives of our citi
zens on the rivers, and push on our publ
improvements-and this opposition too found
ed upon an exploded principle which doe
not now receive the support of any party, o
of single prominent man west of the noun
tains. belonging TO any party! If there is
leading Democrat In the West supportin,
such an out-cry, we should like to know hi
name.
We rejoice that the prospects are so fat
ering for the West receiving assistance thi
ession of Congress. If Western men d
heir duty, we can secure these appropri,
tons without fail. If they sell themselves t
the East, as some have done, we may not b
successful this session nor the next. but Tn
time iriH speedily come when purlicatio
by the people of our Congress will grant u
our wishes. A better feelng-the RICH
feeling is being shown. The ripening of thi
into action, will bring us full fruition of ou
hopes.

To meet these expenditures the Depart
mcni must rely on the receipts OF postage, the
annual appropriation o: S2O0,000 under The
18th section of the act of 1S47, which has been
before referred 10, and the iriflng appropria-
ton made at the last session of Congress as
compensation for the transportation Of the
matter sent free through the mails under the
act for taking the seventh census.
Before giving an estimate Of the revenues
OF the current year. it is proper TO remark
that 10 reliable estimate OF the receipts from

year ending June 80, lS47. was Il ,27 100 per
cent; for the year ending June 80, 1913. only
Z 43 100 per cent; and for the year ending
June so, 1919, II 20 100 per cent being an
average in the three years of 10 sc 100 per
cent and the increase for the year ending
June 80, 1850, excluding the balances ia ia
vor of Great Britain was IA 5 8 per cent
