omciai Paper OF the City.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1868-08-10

The party in power had SAT- ,OOO,OO0 in
tho fiscal year ending the first of July, and
yet the national debt is increasing. Now
they say they want to know why the prem.
ium on gold is advancing. They are talking
tustain. They know the reason for the ad.
vance. The reason is, that the government
is running in debt with revenue of SAL,
100000 year.
When man is extrsvagant, and dishon.
est, spends more than his income, and has
more paper out than he can redeem, his
credit goes down. The credit of govern.
ment Is broken by precisely the same pro.
cesses. The people have been taxed to
raise the enormous amount of SAT-, 900. 900
in the year just ended, and yet the govern.
ment is running in debt. The payment for
Alaska does not appear in the treasury state.
ment for Jul y and, without that the state.
ment shows that the debt has been in.
creased over $l3,600,00 in two months.
Let the taxpayers-after making all prop.
er deductions for interest on the public debt,
pensions, bounties, etc.--contrast the nation.
al expenses now with what they were under
Buchanan's administration $47l ,000, 900 q
year against $66,0OO.OO0. Why does gold
go up? Study the figures, Jacobins, and
answer Chicago Times.

THR TREASURY STATEMENT

II any one IS curious to know how the
radical party, which controls the govern.
ment, is paying the public debt, he can find
out by reference to columns
Of to-day, where the treasurers statement
makes the aggregate debt$2 ,523, j34, 48O, OF
more than thirteen millions greater than il
was two months ago.
With all the enormous taxation which is
felt by every Individual in the country d.
rectiy or indirectly with all the revenue
paid into the government under the high
tariff policy with all the ills which are en-.
dured in order to be cured by the payment
OF the public debt,--the last statement, shows
that the government ia getting deeDer and
deeper in the mire by several million. a
month. Is there longer any occasion or eT
cuse for doubling the corruption of N.
radical psrty2
The treasury statement merely presents q
deplorable fact. 1t does not say what he
comes of the immense sums of money maid

debt. To get at this, it wonld be necessar

WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT.

The radicals have got a statement from d
A.Wells, Especial commissioner Of revenue,
in relation to expenses, taxation, &c, which
they think is "big thing" Look at one Of
its statements and see IL it viii "hold water

INF0RMAT WANTED

The Rim Union, on Wednesday, August
9Th, said "a republican congress has already
passed an act to discontinue the freedmen's
bureau
Will that paper give US the date of the
act and its apprOval-and tell US when the
institution was discontinued?
The same paper, on the same day, said
"the same congress has already ordered the
army reduced to $1,000 men"
Will that paper give US the date of the act
and its approval, and tell US when the work
Of reduction commenced?
We say that congress has not ordered the
freedmen's bureau discontinued but has
passed an act extending it another year.
Nor has it ordered the army reduced to IT,.
600 men.
We challenge the Rim to prove its asser-
tons or correct them.

extent, at least, by the last thing that con.

Of the third general appropriation bill of the

must be remembered and borne in mind
that this is less than one half the
amount appropriated at the last session of
congress. 1t is chiefly devoted to making
up the Deficiencies ofan appropriation bill
