Cheap Whiskey

Whilst Temperance men are putting
forth all efforts to cripple and destroy the
whiskey business, Congress are seriously
talking of cutting down the tax on the
raw material, from two dollars to seventy
five cents per gallon. 1t is said that a
large majority Of our Solons at Washing
ton favor the reduction, and that the
Revenue laws viii be so amended. This
WILL OF course, secure cheaper whiskey
to be used in the manufacture of " OK
yokes, " worm fences" and other me.

Some time ago the New York World
thus alluded to General Grant:
AS Washington was elected and re
elected on the strength of his character
and services, without pledges either asked
or given, we trust that General Grant
will be elected, if at all, in the same way
and with the same generous confidence
Having restored the authority of the GO,

highest civic to the highest military
fame by restoring long lost cordiaIity OF
feeling"

TIE TENURE OF OFFICE BILL,

Congress has already been made familiar
with my views respecting the tenure of Of
fee bill. Experience has proved that its re-
peal is demanded by the best interests of the
country, and that while it remains in force
the President cannot enjOin that rigid ac-
lc0untabiity Of officers so essential 10 tie
honest execution Of the laws. It's revocation
would enable the executive department. to

The condition of our finances demands the
early and earnest consideration of Congress
Compared with the growth of our p0pula.
ton, the public expenditures have reached
an amount unprecedented in OEr history.
Tbs population of the United States in 179l
was nearly four millions of people In
creasing each decade about thiitY three per
cent, it reached in 1860 thirty y-one millions,
an increase Of seven hundred per cent. on
the population 10 1880 In 1869 it is estima-
ted it viii reach thi; ty eight millions, or an
increase Of eight hundred and sixtg-eiRht
per cent in seVenty-Rine years. The annual
expenditures of the federal government in
1871 were four millions two hundred thou
sand dollars; IN le20tWp millions two hun
dredthousahd dollars;in 1850, forty-oDe mil
lions; in 1850. sixty-tbIee millions in
1865, nearly thirteen hundred millioss and
in 1869 it isestima ated by thesecTetary of the
Ieasury 10 his last annual report that they
viii be three hundied and seventy two mil
lions. Comparing the public disburse-
ments of 1863, as estimated. with those of
1871, il will be seen that The Increase of ex-
penditure since the bSginningof the govern
ment has bsen eight thousand six hundred
and eighteen per centum, while the Increase
VI tnc ROplAakAUu AuE buc 1dlDC DCItUu
only eight hundred and sixty y-eight per
centum.
Again, the expenses of the government in
1860, the year Of peace immediately preced-
ing the war we're only sixty three millions,
while in 1863, the year of peace three years
after the war, as estimated thy will be three
hundred and se7enty.two millions, an in
crease of four hundred and eighty mine per
centum, while the increase OF population
was only twenty-One per centum for the same
period. These statistics further show that
in 1871 the annual national expenses, compar-
ed with the population. were little more thsu
one dollar per cspita, and in 1860 but two
dollars per capita, while in 1869 they will
reach the extrayagant sum of nine dollars
ard seventy eight cents per capita. 1t win
be observed that all Of these sentiments refer
to an exhibit the disbursements Of peace
periods. It may therefore be of interest to
compare the expenditures OF the three war
peEiods--tbe war with Great Britain, the
Mexican war, and the war Of the rebellion,
In 1914 the annual expenses incident 10 the
war Of 1912 reached their highest amount,
about thirty-one millions, while our popula-
ion slighfly exceeded eight millions, show
ing an expenditure of only three dollars and
eighty cents per capits. In i647 the ex-

NOW MUST TELL I THINK.

To gang an drink and your wife, wiz hungry weans at
hame;
O Willie We are.not the man we aften vowed to be-
When left fathers happy home to try the world wi
thee;
Ye aen said that happiness wad lot through l
If wad gle my heart an hand to be your loving wife,
But ye have love for me, ye naethng love but
It brings the salt tears to my e'e tell you what think.
And tho poverty aye our guest ye know murmured
For tho hearth aften cauld an desoate see,
was content-resgned to share the worlds rowns with
thee
And aften when my heart sad for thee smile,
The dreary hours Of gloomy and to beguile
But ye have now love for ye naething love but
drink
1t brings the salt tears my to tell you what think
When sick and helpless with disease in agony ye lay
When all thy trens deserted thee watched thee night an
day,
tended thee with tenderness for thou vert a. to me
pie wept and tried to soothe an prayed heaven for
thee;
| sit in weary solitude beside cold hearth-stane
Your love is all changed trae ye naethng love but
drink
il brings the salt tears to my ee to tell yop what think
