The platform adopted at the recent
Radical State Convention, at Saratoga,
says that during Grants Administration
the expenses OF the Federal Government
have been reduced. The record shows
that the expenses OF Congress have been
increased over 81, 1850 900. Expenses OF
foreign intercourse have increased $780,
900 miscellaneous expenses OF customs,
$780, GOO Of the L. g. $4,000; and OF
the Post Office Department, $4,000,
Again
-Four years after the termination Of
the war, In the first fiscal year OF our
model Presidents Administration, there
were expended $~4ll,2e5,477, an amount
greater by S~5i,84A,e0l than was expsnd-
cd during the whole Of President Blu
chansn's and the last year of President
Pierce's term. In n single flscal year
Of administration Of this retrenchment
party, II has ingeniously managed to re.
lieve the treasury OF upwards Of $751;
100000 more than was expended for all
purposes during i've years Of Democratic
administration, Notwithstanding there oc.
Cured in that time a military expedition
OF force against the Mormons which cost
several millions Of dollars"
Again
"rhe annual cost, to each individual, OF
running the Government during the
Democratic Administrations of Jackson
Van Buren,, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan,
including tho expense of the Mexican
war, was $t,T5. What coat each indiyid.

Grant. Without the public debt, the
cost Of running the government Ia twice
as great to each individual under Grant as
1t was under Buchanan"
Another exhibit of facts shows that, In
1869, foreign vessels carried 80 per cent,
Of imports, and IS per cent. Of the exports
OF the country ; and In 1867 they carried
81 per cent of the imports and 6e per
cent, OF the exports. In 1860 these yes.
sells did about 10 per cent. Of the business,
and the rest was carried on In American

plants do. Men and women who have

live In rooms with only q northern ex'
poGure but IL 1t is possible, let US secure
rooms into which every ray of sunshine
that falls In winter may enter, for the lit
tie babies who are shut up in the house
invslids who cannot leave their rooms
and aged people who are too infirm to gel
out Of doors. Let us reflect for q moment
that these classes of persons IL kept in
