the Government of France is very good aud very salts
factory to the people, for it costs million of dollars
day to maintain it. That is about nine dollars year
tor each person IN the empire The interest on the ma
tional debt is $ll2 100000 annually The army and
navy come in for $93GOOOOO annually. Glory costs
something. Our government of whose extrava 5ance
we talk, is expanding about $84 100000 year. or less
than one-ourth of the sum which France requires.

also help the Southern Democratic cause.
