10 THE DEMOCRAT, We republish the
following article. containing a true state
ment of the financial history of the two
political parties asking the suffrages of
tie people of Indiana. This statement

Democrat who feels proud of his party's
record

Democratic rulc....... ............. 1O9 20
Republican increase............... S16O O3
Admitting the state debt to have
been, as claimed by Governor Morton,
S10,179,367, when the Republicans
came into power, in 1861, the increase
in taxation alone, under Republican
rule, would have paid the debt more
than six times over, and yet the Rcpub-
lican leaders set up the claim of retrench-
mcnt, reform, economy, and honesty in
the administration of the state govern
ment The enormous increase of taxa
ton under Republican rule would have
built three thousand miles of railroad
estimating the cost at twenty thousand
dollars n mile. 1t would have made ev-
cry mud road in the state a gravel road.
The interest on that sum at six per cent.
would pay the annual expense of run
ming the state government proper, or
what goes into the account of state OK
penscs, even under the present costly
Radical rule. Do these figures show
that the Republican leaders have any
further claim upon the confidence of the
people? Tax payers of Indiana, exam
inc the figures for yourselves.
In furtherance of our design to pre-
sent to the people of Indiana the man.
ner in which their financial affairs have
been managed by the leaders of the rad
ical party for the last ten years. we
give the following tables, showing the
receipts and expenditures of the state,
which have been compiled from official
documents, at the Sentinel office. The
following amounts have been received
and expended during each fiscal year,
commencing November 1, 1870, and
ending October 81, 1870, a period of
twenty years-ten yeirs under Demo-
cratic rule, and ten years under Rcpub-
lican rule:

There are two features in connection
with the expenditures under Republ
can rule for the past ten years worthy
of consideration. The expenditures Of
1863 and 1864, are much less than the
preceding and succeeding years. This
is accounted for by the fact that tbs
state officers for these years were Demo
Gratis. That made the difference. Il
will be noticed that the cost of the state
government was greater during The
years Of peace than those Of war;

Republican Extravaganza and
Democratic Economy in HIn-
diana--IIOyv the People are
Taxed.
The Republican leaders in this state
are endeavoring to run the campaign on
what they term their successful manage
mcnt Of the state finances, ignoring, as
far as possible, their tariff robbery, re-
construction infamy, and their negro
suffrage outrage. While we do not in
tend, so far as we are concerned, to be
led away from the true issues of the
campaign, we are willing to examine
the financial question, and will give such
facts and figures as will satisfy any un.
prejudiced mind that Republicans have
taxed the people beyond any precedent
in the history of Indiana.
The following tables were compiled
by an exchange from official sources,
and exhibit. in a favorable light, the
beauties of Republican financiering, in
comparison with Democratic economy
and light taxes.
Republicans set up claim of great
economy, and glory in the fact that they
paid off the state debt.
Is there any great credit to lie derived
from this fact for the Republican party,
while the people have been groanirg
under an increased per cent. taxation on
. largely increased value of taxable
property. That the people may under
stand the fallacy of the claim of these
Radical leaders in this state we present
below a contrast Of the administration
Of public affairs under Democratic and
Republican rules, the following exhibit

der two decadcs-from 1850 to 1860
uuder Democratic rule, and from 1860

facts and figures are given, taken from
official sources, and let them decide as

been advising the holding of Conven
t;ons in the various Congressional dis
tricts of tho State for the purpose of
nominating suitable conservative cam
didatcs Cor Congress, 70 be elected at the
November elections. Owing to the
probability of the State being rcdistrctoo
before the election there seems to be
quite feeling of indifference and uncor-
taiaty. with the people, in regard to the
matter. The question Of convention ill
hardly, however, under the circumstances,
be seriously entertained in this District.
Conventions in the past were generally
conducted in individual or sectional in
terest and became in disrcputc and met
with signal defeat But it can not be
denied that Conventions are sometimes
necessary, when party organizations arc
tolerably equally divided, such as is
the case in the districts east of the
Blue Ridge, whore the negro and carpet
bag element is predominant. But in
our own District, where the conservative
element so greatly predominates, and
where there is scarcely a likelihood of an
opposition Candidate, call for Con-
vcntion would not be very enthusiastically
responded to-

CONFEDERATION OF the EartE's Surfa ce.
The surface of the earth presents to the
eye of a careless examiner very irregu-
lar assemblage of deprcssions and clc7a-
tons. The most considerable depressions
are filled ky vast body of water. consti-
tuting the oceans and seas, and bearing a
proportion to tee masses of land of about
three TO enc Irregular as the surface of
the land may at first appear to be, an at
teniiye study Of its general appearance
cannot fail TO show certain symmetry
and an orderly dependence Of one physi-
cal feature upon another, and of tue
whole upon some grand carly movement
or movements of nature upon grand
scale, which by raising the crust of the
earth in some parts far above the plains
into cool and cloudy region has created
the sources of the streams, commanded
their direction, determined the moditica
s;ons of climates, and thus directed the
history of the. human lace. Somewhere
or other OH each continent CT island will
be found certain series of chains Of
heights, on each side of which the land
slopes, on the whole, gradually to the
sea. This is the great water-parting OF
the continent From the main ridge on
either side run other smaller and trib-
utary to it, these in their turn having
their tributary ridges, until at last the
level of the ocean is reached, and the
conformation ofthc earth is hidden By
the waters. Issuing from the chef
heights and running down from tle main
valleys arc the chief rivers, fed by small
or rivers, descending from the tributary
crests, these in their turn being supplied
by small streams that slide down from
the lower ridges. IL the course Of time
the waters flowing from the hills have
cut themselves beds, even trona the solid
rock sometimes they have changed their
direction, but always, and speaking gen
orally, the mountains have formed the
rivers, and sent down, by their means,
rich soil to be deposited in the valleys,
and form sea of verdure. Along the
valleys are to be found the most fertile
fields. Commerce first followed the dircc-
ton of the rivers because upon them the
cargOes OF the mere 1ant could be more
easily transported. Towns grew up and
roads were made to connect them. As
mankind multiplied TIE surface of the
earth was moro denscly covered by their
cities and villages. Short cuts were
across tho angles Of the old roads, and
finally c ntinents lave become more or
less entanglcd in network Of roads

ligent student physical geography and
the history Of mankind there il. however.
no mere confusion than is 10 be found in
a honeycomb or SPIDERS web. The whole,
if complicated, follows certain laws, and
depends upon tie original elevations OF
the land and the effect Of climate upon
human necessities. London Times.
