expenses of the government Of the United States,
to show the vast advantage of the economical ad-
ministration OF Spain and other European mon
arches. The hypothesis assumed being false, and
the statistics not aggregated, for numerical division
among the masses, with any certainty, to show the
actual individual burthen, the defamation will be
of very little advantage to the science Of govern
ment. If it were true, however, the people do with
their own as they please; if it is squandered, so
much the better for the "pirate laud," as they
have great facility in picking up stray plumber;
and, if true still it is well, showing that it costs
no more, in proportion, to sustain twenty six mill
lions Of sovereignty in the United States than is
absorbed by the royal nursery at Madrid alone. The
people of the United States have the privilege Of
deciding what their expenses shall be, and, If an
extra slice is offered them by their impoverished
neighbors they. pay the price agreed upon for it,
that they may have more extended homes for the
sons of freedom that gather to that expensive land
from every quarter of the Old World not excepting
even Spain. However, it is in vain to look in the
