We ull remember that last yeusl ud'
rtate officers expended $4,000 on the
Hooking and Southern Ohio Canals moro
than was appropriated, and that our Loco
ioco Legislature refused to make an np-
preparation for Il. Yet IN 1865 rs State
officers, being Of thtt party, expended fi.r
hundred M0usdnd doHays beyond the aps
propriations, and then asked Republican
Legislature to pay t. SO lur as thia was
found TO be due in good faith, Il was
promptly votod, The difference between
the acts Of the two. parties is appareEt,
and most damaging TO our opponents.
by reference 70 the tables published In
Gov. Chuse's message on the 9th Of Jan.
1906 L viii be seen that the aggregate
Of taxes vas largely reduced BY the Re-
publican administration, The following

Here is falling of Of nearly a migiou
Of dollars during the frat year Of Repub-
lioan rule. II may be claimed that this
difference arose from decrease Of local
taxes only, This isnot true. Tae local

The records demonstrate that during
I the two years, In which the Republicans
had tho control Of both the Executive and
I Legislative departments Of government,
they n0 only fully sustained the credit Of
the State, and paid oll 10 current ezpen-
ses, with the saving above named, but that
they actually paid Oft over half miRi0a
Of debts enthled upon them by their oppo-
nonts. f.l If'
But il has been claimed, as an Offset TO
the great expenditure Of our opponents,
that they greatly reduced the debt Of the
State. The facts are, that while they re-
duoed thodobt from 1859 to 1855, o. ,i95,-
767, they received from other sources be-
side taxes, during the same time the sum OF
80, ,O99,79O, or S06s,O39 more than they
reduced the public debt. So that this pre-
tanse is mot availablg.-aO s.. Journal.

is jcwol--one that derives lis value from
its excessive rarity. II never performs
one iota that u promises--it succeeds by
promising one thing and doing another,
and in fact, Is nothing short ofa giga6tic,
LIE.

We might 90 on and point out thou
