The greatest thief Of all is sure to
raise this cry and shout it the loudest
70 divert attention from himself while
trying to effect his escape from pursuers.
This is precisely the situation Of the
Republican or Radical press in this
State, at the present time. With the
utmost eifrontery they are shouting
"extravagance" in the public expendi-
ture against the Democratic party Of
this State, while they have whelmed the
whole country in ruin, and piled up the
taxes as high as Olympus, not by their
extravaganee merely, but by downright
robbery OF the Treasury. We reiterate
the charge, and say that they have
plundered the national Treasury of mil
lions of dollars, and yet they have the
cool impudence, here in Maryland, to
raise the cry Of "extravagapce" against
their opponents. 1t would be curious
calculation indeed for any one to under
take to determine how much Of our vast
public debt was accumulated by Rad.
cal stealing aud piander during the war
The world never beheld such a specta-
Gle of shameless dishonesty and pecula-
ton before. Honest men stood appalled,
and wouder.struek at the exhibition.
Even corrupt Europe looked on with
amusement. II is computed that more
than one.half Of our entire debt is for
stealing alone. The Government was
robbed in every conceivable way-by
fraudulent contracts for supplies of
every descriptioa--f6r clothing, subsist-
snce, men, munitions, transportation
everything, in fact, which was needed
TO prosecute the war, or which was fur
nished to the government by this pay
triotic party. And now that the labor
and industry Of the country is ground
down into the very dust, not only by
the extravaganza, but by the dishonesty
Of Radicalism, they coOlly turn about
and charge "extravagance" upon their
opponents in Maryland Could assur-
ance further got People of Carroll,
are you willing to trust theml Are
you satisfied with the record they have
madef Do you believe that their hands
are clean, and would remain clean, if
they were again restored to power p
How can you, in the face of these facts
still fresh in the recollection of us all,
proving conclusively that they are not
to be trusted. Whenever the Radicals
talk toyouabout extravaganza, tell them
to put their fingers upon their lips and
to hide their faces for very shame, and
point them to their wholesale robbery
Of the people, of which the continual
rounds Of the national tax gatherer is a
perpetual reminder.
