cress the increased cost of living was in part met by
increased prices for labor and people did not then
realize that war was waste, and must surely be paid
for This factnow comes home to people the form
of high taxes equal $500 OO0OO0 per annum Ornearly
ten times the gross amount of the National debt in
1860 As compared with $780, labor is deprived of its
reward to this extent. No farmer is so dull
now as not to see that instead Of planting
the whole corn field fer himself, rs in 1850,
he plants a large proportion for the tax gatherer
The National unity has been preserved and il is worth
more than il has cost but this does not get nd of the
ugly fact that it has yet to be paid for and that the
yearly cost of paying for it is just SO much from the
profits OF labor compared with the years before the
debt was made. The time has arrived when fortunes
are TO be made and saved by labor and economy ana
not drumming into debt; buying goods for dcbased
currency to be paid for in currency of still less worth
The currency is now steadily increasing i'll value, and
those who buy money instead OF commodities, ana
who steadily get out of debt will come safest out OF
the financial troubles paying for the war have made
certain The short steps Of spectators III Wall-s may
be up, but there is sure TO be long strides down.

.rHE nosRon DOCTRINE

Thousands of persons have heard of the
Monroe Doctrine" who have yet no definite
idea how or when it originated. The "Mon,
roe Doctrine in reference to the extension
in America of the monacrchical system of any
European government, was first expressed in
President Monroes Annual Message, Dec.
I'd; 1873
"The political system of the allied Powers
Lof Europe is essentially different in this re-,
spect from that of America. This difference
proceeds from that which exists in their re-
spective governments. And to the defense
Of our own, which has been achieved by the
loss Of so much blood and treasure, and ma
tured by the wisdom Of our most enlightened
citizens, and under which we have enjoyed
unexampled felicity, this whole nation is de-
voted. We owe it, therefore. to candor. and
TO the. Amicable relations existing between the
United States and those Powers, to declare
that we should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to any portion Of
this hemisphere, as dangerous to our peace
and safety. With the existing colonies or
dependencies Of any Europesn Power, We
have not intcrfered and shall not interfere.
But with the Governments Who have declared
their independence and. maintained il, and
whose dependence We have. on great consid-
