The National Expenditures.


From an official statement Of
the Secretary of the Treasury,
It appears that from 1860 to
1879 the expenses of the Fed.
eral Government have amour.
ted to the enormous and al
most incredible sum Of $5,3OO,.
100000. The receipts into the
Treasury from taxation have
been So, ,O87, 100000. This has
all been wrung out of the hard
earnings of the Taxpayers
Only think oft, thirty millions
of people have been burdened
in a single decade with taxes
to the extent Of $3,0O0,00O,-
600. This sum has not been
paid without causing a wide.
spread poverty and ruin among
the industrial classes. There
are hundreds Of thousands Of
persons who have been reduced
from affluence to poverty by
the weight Of this extraordina-
ry taxation, the like of which
was never before known in the
history of the world. One of
the curiosities of this taxation
is the fact that during the war
years Of 1S6l-2-3,4-5 the taxes
were far less than they have
been since. Look at the fig

Taxes in War Years.
$9,343,OOO,OOO

1t thus appears that in the
five years the war progressed
the taxes of the Federal Gov.
ernment were only $792,000,.
600. In the five years which
have elapsed since the war
closed the exactions for taxes
have been nearly three times
as great, viz &: $2,343,OOO,OOO.
During the war, when every
thing was high and prices were
inflated, it was easier to pay
ten dollars than itnow is to pay
three. But, instead of putting e
on the taxes then, the Govern.
ment waits until a period Of
peace, when every thing is de-
and trebles its war
taxation. These figures are
astounding, and will be heard
of in this fall's canvass.
