But this does not tell the
whole story-scarcely half of it.
The sum of government in the
United States is made up of
two distinct politics. State and
Federal, which together per-
form the function which is per-
formed by the Queen, Lords
aud Commons of England.
Each of the thirty-seven States
which make up the Union has
/ its government, to which the
larger share Of the municipal
authority is intrusted, each Of
which has its legislative, exec
utiye and judicial departments;
its revenues, expenses and eX-
travagances; its scheming poll
ticians, its plots to transfer the
moneys of the people into the
hands OF rings and wire work
ers, and its public enterprises
devised expressly for private
emolument, The aggregate
cost of State government in.
America, at the present curren-
cy rates, cannot be estimated
at less than three hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars in round
numbers, therefore, the price
of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness to the thirty-fve
for forty millions of people in
the United States may be set
down as follows:
Federal government. - $3.50 100000
State government Bot, 900 900
Total -. .S730 1000, 900
OF this seven hundred and
thirty millions of dollars one
hundred and sixty-five millions
were for customs, and were
collected by the United States
i'll gold; the remainder was
collected in currency. Esti-
mating the paper dollar of the
/ United States at sixty cents,
rand the comparison between
the cost of civil government in
Great Britain and the United
States would stand as follows:
Great Britain -.s 1914, 100000
United States 504, 600, 600
Difference $3.50, 100000
This would show that we,
the people of the United States,
are the best taxed people upon
the face of the earth. But this
does not tell the whole story.
In England, the large works of
Improvement, as railways and
the like, are undertaken and
prosecuted by private enter
prise and with private capital.
In the United States, subsidies
in lands are granted by the
general government to railway
and other corporations until
the entire public domain, which
belongs to the people, is being
rapidly transferred to the hands
OF spectators. This process, as
recent disclosures go to prove, is
being carried on to the extent of
hundreds OF millions of dollars in
value per annum. Government.

The New York Tribune, looking be-
yond the inconvenience that may tempo
rarIly come to business men because of .

At the general prosperity of the country
for the present snd also future ye.rs. and
not merely To the interest Of individuals
during the next six months. we think the
view taken will commend itself to readers
generally. Says the Trihnns:
We hope to hear the summer inst be-
'ore rs characterized as one Of the dallest
ever known. For dull times do not i'm.
ply June frost.. nor destructive tsn,pesss.
deadly epidemics, nor even Natiooal de-
cay. Those are dull times wherein the
needless majority are drinking and dane
ing and dying in reckless extusvagsncs.
intent only on present gratiic.tion. and
reckless Of impending ruin. You could
not ssy that times wers doll when half
our able bodied men and boys were engsg-
ed in burning honses. tearing mp rail-
roads. rsvsging fields. and running US in
to debt at the rate Of one hundred mil
lions per month. Those we're. on the
whole. rather lively times; and so have
all times been when we we're rushing on
to bankruptcy sta2 2:40 gait. Dali times
imply sobrieiy. caution. frugslity. and
hint thst the prodigal has taken the back
track. or at least ceased to go ahead on
the down hill grade. He may only have
tried to check bis fesrful momentum, and
this too late to avoid the crash: bat bet
ter even this than rushing recklessly on.
So let MS welcome dull times With a
cheerful face, a. q sedate. fatherly uncle
who has come round to see how the boys
get on. snd who. il he does not find them
doing their level best. is almost certain
to leave them in a wholesome mood Of
mind. The best medicines are not apt
to be toothsome; yet sensibls persons
take them without contortion of visage
or exhibition of internal disgust. in the
confident hope of feeling better BY and
by. So let us. If We must, greet the sd
vent Of dull times.

1t is said that Hon. j. B HawIey. Radi.

waited on the President some time ago.
with the announcement that he "hsd come
to talk little shont the appointments in
his district" The President said he was
very willing to accede to the wishes of
his friends. bat said be: 'Mr. H.wley,
there is one request you must not make.

For the lack Of anything better. tn, dis
com6tted Individuals who Jailed to be
appointed Indian agents. have started
the report that the order assigning army
officers to this duty is to be rescinded,
because of the discovery Of law which
abroga'es the provision in the law OF "a.
empowering the President to make such
assignment. A careful examination shows
there is no sncb law. 1t has frequently
been claimed that the ansfer OF the

of the Republican replies. that be was led

the edification of the Reporter man. an

LEAvESwoRrH. May 26tb, 1862.
1t is believed that. through misspprs.
hension an important provision Of the
Revenus Lew has been very genrslIy
violated in this District.
The amended Act OF 1867 provides, in
Schedule e. for the stamping of Canned
Meats, de-. in the following words:
For and upon every can. bottle. or 9TH
er single package, containing fish. sauces,
sirups. prepared mustard, jams or jellies,
contained therein packed or sealed. made.
epared and sold. or offered for sale, or
removed for consumption in the United
States, on and after the first day of Oe
tober. eighteen hundred and sixty-six,
when such can, bottle or single package,
with its contents, shall not exceed two
pounds in weight. the sum Of one cent.
When such can. bottle. or other single
package. with its contents, shall exceed
two pounds in weight. for every addi.
tional pound, or factional part thereof,
one cent.
1t will be seen by this. that the ar.
ticlss enumerated 10 the paragraph must
be stamped before they are offered for
sale by the dealer. They are permitted
to leave the mandatory in tho trade
packages. without stamping. and m ~
pass from the hands OF one dealer to an
other, in the original package. without
liability to stamp; but SO soon as an
original package is broken. for sale eith-
er to dealers or consumers. each bottle or
package must receive the required stamp.
1t will not do to pnt them upon the shelf
of store or shop. tor sale. before stamp
ing II so placed before the pubic. they
are "of1ered for sale." and are liable to
seizure and con6scstion.
The law. in this regard. will hereafter
be rigidly enforced. and it is hoped that
every one will Immediately bring their
practice to strict conformity with this
construction of the law.
