This system Of prodigal, partial,
and prohigatc expenditure cannot be
continued without involving the ma.
tion In bankruptcy. We are FIST
drifting IN that bad direction, and
the Radical melorities are utterly re-
garjless Of consequences, sdthat they
can retain power and plumber. Enor-
nous expenditures form a necessary
part Of their policy, for Radical as
oenduncy has only been preserved

to attention, as the outspoken trutl
of a candid and enlightened oppo
