End Of the Fiscal Ysar-Favorable
Financial Exhibit

The balance sheet for the fiscal year end s
ing to-day is not yet made up, but the re,
ceiPts have been ascertsined at the treasury
department, and the showing is exceedingly
good, and better than the most sanguine e.
Inmates Of last season. The customs estimate
Of Secretary McoullOcb, last December, was
$l74OOO,O0O; of Special Commissioner
Wells last January, $l7O.OOO,OOO millions.
The actual receipts up to this evening are
one hundred seventy-nine million aud eight
hundred thousand. The estimated receipts
when all now on the way are credited are
one hundred and eighty two millions, which
is twelve millions above WeIls's estimate,
and eight above McOullOch's. The internal
revenue .estimate of McOullech was one
hundred and forty millions Of Rollinp, one
hundred and forty millions; of Wells,
one hundred and fifty five millions. The
actual receipts up to this evening are one
hundred and ffty-eight millions two hundred
and eighty-seven thousand. The estimates
when all now on the way are credited are
one hundred and sixty millions, which is
five millions above Wells's estimate, fifteen
millions above ROllius's and twenty millions
above McCullOch's. The receipts from all
miscellaneOus sources are not yet known,
but the figure will not be far from thirtY-ons
millions, giving an aggregate of govern
mental receipts for the year at about three
hundred and seventy-three millions, which
is sixteen millions above Wells's estimate
aud thirty -twol millions above McOullOch's.
The expenditures for the year cannot be
ascertained for two or three weeks. Wells
estimated that the receipts would be thirty
millions greater than the expenditures, and
McOuIIOch that they would be twenty mill
ions, while In fact the balance on the right
side will be at least forty millions, and may
reach fifty millions. 1t may be worth add
ing, as pleasant reminisceDce of the days
that are no more, that Delmar, the brilliant
financial man of the Democracy in the last
campaign, assured the country in his letter
'of September that the internal revenue
would yield but one hundred aud twenty
two millions this year, and the customs but
Une hundred and fifty millions, while the
balance on the wrong side of the books at
this date would be one hundred and fifty-

OHIO Democralic PIaIform.

The following is the Platform of the
Democracy of Ohio upon which they
propose to fight the present campaign
Resolved That exemption from tax
of over two thousand FIVE hundred mil
lion dollars in government bonds and
securities is UNI Just to the people, and
ought not to be tolerated, and that we
are opposed to any appropriation for
payment of interest on public bonds
until they are made subject to taxation.
RESOLVED, That the claims of bond
holders that the bonds which were
bought With greenbscks, and the prin-
eipal of which is by law payable in cur
rency, should, nevertheless, be paid in
goId,s is unjust and extortionate, and if
persisted in viii inevitably force upon
the people the question of reputation.
Resolved, That we denounce the
high protective tariff which was de-
signed to aid the interests of the New
England manufacturers. That said
tariff is also BY its enormous imposi-
tions on salt, sugar, tea, coffee and nee
essaries uncomfortable and oppressive,
especially upon the people of the west
and that we demand its repeal and the
substitution of another based upon
revenue principles alone upon the clos
est possible approximation to absolute
free trade. m
RESOLVED, That the Democratic Party
of the United States have always been
permanently friendly to the rights and
interests of the laboring man, that they
are in favor of limited number Of
hours in all manufacturing workshops
hours dictated by the physical and men
tai well being of the laborer. That
they favor the most liberal laws 10 re-
gard to household aud homestead ex-,
elnption from sale and execution. That
they are also in favor of liberal grants
of land from the public domain to the
actual settler and are opposed to the
donation of swindling railroad .corpor-
ations, and that they are generally
friendly to The system Of measures ad
9ocsted by the labor and industrial
Congresses, and We pledge the Demo-
cratic party, if restored to power, to
exercise them IN giving them practical
Resolved, That the attacks Of Gov
ernors Hayes and Lee upon the doings

yated positions,

Summer nrinkS.

Il
There is nothing but water esbsble
Of satisfying the thirst All other
drinks, therefore, taken for this purpose,
answer it only in proportion 70 the
quantity Of this fluid thev may contain.
| Water, if pure, may Be drank at al
times and in almost any quantity with
impunity. ThemanueT Of drinking il,
however, is a matter Of no little i'm.
pOrtance. If guided down in large
quantities it may, by suddenly filling
the stomach, so distend is as to pro-
duce a pressure not only painful, but
subveFsiVe Of the functions Of that and
Of other internal orgaus If, moFeovsF
the water thus swallowed be exces-
sively cold and the body uRduIy heat
ed,sa fatal shock may result from ths
instantaneous change Of temperatare.
Thus cases are recorded Of death from
this cause. These, however, do not oc-
cur as often as was once supposed, and
most of those fatal results before sttfi-
buted to drinking cold water are now
supposed to be owing to the ieint effects
Of heat and fatigue, or to what is ordi-
narily termed sun stroke.
Water may be drank IN its coolest
degree Of temperature, and in the lar-
gest quantity thirst may demand, by
any person, whatever may be his state
as to health or illness; heat or cold,
provided it is swallowed gradually. BY
slipping not only is the desire for drink
more thoroughly gratided, but all danger
avoided.
Iced water, when properly drank, il
unquestionsbly the best of all summer
drinks, but there are others which, if
indulged in moderately, may be allowed.
The ordinary sOda-Water- on water i'm
preguated with carbonie acid gas-iss q
not unwholesOme beverage. although. it
is often made so by the syrups, spirits,
and other concoctious mixed with it.
The various fruit syrup, II genuine, may,
when well diluted with. water, be safely
taken. The sugar however, they 20
abundantly contain, aud which Accord
ing to chemists is a great heat-producer,
makes them unfit for common summer
drinking Science condemns the use,
particularly in hot weather, Of all the
spituous drinks as brandy gin aud
whisky. These according to some
chemical philosophers, may be Of ad-
vantage to those exposed to the severe
cold of winter. Others deny that they
can even be useful, and assert that they
act upon the brain and nerves as direct
Poisons. Both then, are agreed in con-
deming them summer drinks. Lisbig
and his followers give this as reason:
Alcohol, the chief constituent Of all
spirtuous drinks, is mainly composed Of
carbon, which is the fuel required by
the body to keep up its animal heat.
In summer, Of course, but little Of this
fuel is required-mueh less than in
winter. Ii, however, a large quantity
IS supplied thereS viii be an. excess,
which is left uneonsumed, and remain
ing in the body without use does harm
N various ways. Drinking AlehohoI,
therefore, which contains a great deal of
carbon in summer, is supplying the body
with more Of this fuel than it requires,
aud IS in consequence a harmful pFae-
