o, How THEY LIE-The figures, of
course; not such eloquent orators
and highly distinguished gentlemen
as Jim Robinson, of Illinois,. With
in the space of FIVE minutes he made
these statements: The ordinary ex-
penses of the Government the past
year were over $3O0,OO0,OOO; the cost
of the Standing army over 100000
900; the cost of each soldier, g, 600;
the expense of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau. between $4,000, 900 and $780,
100000. If Illinois can furnish an
other such statistician he ought to
follow in the track of the Honorable
Jeenses, and illustrate the wonderful
perversion that facts can be made to
undergo by the aid of figures. 1t is
by such wicked misrepresentation
that the masses are sought to be be-
trayed into the support of the revolu-.
tionary party.

do. Let every temperance man and
woman take a decided stand for tenn

Let no one be put in position of re-
