MARSHAL PRIM THE REAL RULER OF SPAIN.
LONDON. Monday, Oct. IS, 1869.
The Times to-day has an article on Gen. Prim. The
writer admtsithat Prim isnot man of transcendent
genius but has depth, coolness and boundless ambi
ton He has the army in his hands, and intends to
keep it as long as Spain is without king. None
can wrest from Prim the sword, which is the real
scepter of Spain. Prm sees this and resolves that
10 king shall preside Spain but one of his own
making or under his influence-and above all. no
Montpensier whom he has always opposed. 1t is not
easy or hardly desirable to break through the ar

sovereignty. II Prim is disposed to make good use
of his VICTORY, let him introduce, not improydent
cemency or inordinate liberty but true order based
on legality.

These are results shown by the figures
furnished us by the county clerk, and they
show that, for the last eight years, the taxes
upon the people Of this county, under the
ordinary and usual heads of expenditure,
haze steadily increased cre,y year, ritout
single exception Let the people exam
iue the figures and then ask themselves if
there is no way to stop these enormous leaks
in their pockets. And let them remember
that while they are now required to pay
800 per cent. more, in the aggregate, for the
support Of government, than they we're in
1851; they are also required to pay ov.
er 400 per cent. more for the usual and ord.
mary county expenses than they paid in
lo6l. The only explanation ofthis extraOr.
binary increase is found in the fact that it is
impossible for radicalism to manage gov.
ernmental affairs with economy, either ma.
tional state, county, township or city. The
expenses of the United States government
have been increased by millions upon mil.
lions, aud SO en- down to county and city.
We have already shown how Murdoch, Hay
erstick, Mclaughlin, Condor & Co. have
nearly, doubled our city expenses and taxes,
and unless tho people want them increas-
ed still further they will rally and vote them
out Of office.
