II governments ever produced wealth, If they werc

armed productions ot labor, there might be some to

in the strict line of necessity. And when We consider
that government has no revenues except as they may
be- der, ed by direct Indirect taxes upon the pro-
,lnctive energies of the countrywhen reflect that
lis means irrespective ui borrowing. are chiefly de-
rived from duties upon imported products ami that Ut
these the industrious members o society the laborers.
,he mechanics and farmers often consume more than
their wealthy brethren,
ing the means derived from such sources upon inprop-
er and wasteiul objects, will become doubly blame
worthy and ntolerable. Now, what are the facts ON
this subject and how does this Administration stand
affected under the inquiry By reference TO the
public records we find commencing with the Admin
stration of John Quincy Adamsl that the public OK
pendture. exclusive of payments on account oi tho
public debt and from trust funds. was as follows:
Average annual expenditure under Adams lxS e1
Average xdnre under Jackson 1T term AeS ~
Average annual expenditure under Jaokson ID term N2bM
II. Al. a. N.pH Hur n
Average annual expenditure under ry N94l5e
Average annual expenditure under Pok n kio
A,eragc annual p.ndture under Fillmore tSs6lpo
Such was the average Of expenditures under pre-
yious administrations, while under Pierce they in
creased in 1899 to eJ6 365,3 ,39j IN lSo5 To ~
while in lS5' being the first year OF Buchanans ad-
mnisration, they had ri-ea TO the enormous sum Of
over sryen millions of dollars. But even ths -
thrown into the shade by the ndispuable fact, that
the appropriations at the last session Of Congress
amounted To hundred millions of dollars; and this,
too in a time of peace and with falling reyennc
derng It all but certain that the public debt which on
the sth of December last amounted to ~, Id.
will be increased this year by the addition OF moro
than $50 600, 0C0 Well may our citizens look with
a.tonhment and alarm on such condition Of affairs.
Contrast it with the administration of Gen. jackson.
who, with revenues at ne time exceeding IN the aver
age $26COO,0OO yet paid all the legitimate eSpendi-
If government beside extinguishing more than
80 600 600 Of the public debt; whlle Buchanan, with
more than 80 600 900 Of per annum, yet in
creases the public debt by sn equal amount
Nor will this result be regarded with surprise when
We contemplate some OF the objects OF expenditure 10
which this vast outlay Is devoted. In 1910 the pay
for messengers and other employees of the House of
Representatives amounted To 81, 532; in 1857 il had
risen to $J6,O0O la 1910 the expenses of the Presi-
dents salary house garden and grounds amounted tO
so 65: In 1851 they had increased Ia nearly tb0O00.
The printing tor the AXNlth Congress cost $500 S6t,
while that for the XXXIild famous for It's repeal OF
the Missouri Compromised amounted 10 $3,625sH, or
more than $4,000 for each member Of the Senate and
House of Representatives. Custom-Iionse IL now
in process Of erection at New-Oreans and another at
Charleston. To the former 81 rlJ s, aud to the lat
ter 81 9030 900, has already been appropriated Here,
then il nearly 81 Ott 900 spent on two G0verDment
buildings without the completion oi either; while the
expense of collecting the revenue under Buchanan Is
sl,DO,OUO more per annum now than II was only iour
year. ago. The expenses tor the army when IN iSp
were 81 OJ 267 in laJ7 had increased 10 VIZ I'D;
while the present year will doubt witness 8n in
crease Of s. 600 900 over the latter sum. The mis-
celaneous expenditures Of the Governinent-an end
ess collection Of jobs and contracis-which In isis
were s2J75,5Jl, had in ls57 risen To the enormous
sum Of slsyiG ls9
These are the evidences Of Democratic economy
intensified by probable addition during the present
year Of nearly twenty five per cent to the unparalleled
amount already stated to which people in this
time Of general depression OF business are invited to
look. This is the manner in which Buchanan Al.
