if Mr.. Garfield intends to be under

is bankrupt. After thus sfmmarily

got onto his war record, and said, "the

that we have advocated has been in

Ku-Klux, and characterized the Ku-
Klux law as very mild and harmless
measure, just what was needed and
nothing extraordinary, but merely a
| law to punish certain offences. He
then caught at the civil service reform
question, but missed and fell back up
on his war record, where he founder

Is
Bro. Garfield repeated his speech to
the boys and girls and about twenty
voters in this place last Friday eve
ming. There was but little variation
in this from all his speeches for the
last five years He goes in strong for
new State constitution, and reduc-
ton of the tariff duties on salt from
125 per cent. down to 124 per cent,
which were the only new ideas he ad-
vanced. Itis but just to say that the
speaker endeavored to get off some
thing new, and his flounderings to get
out of his old channel were pitifuI to
behold. He said he would be glad to
take q "new departure" but the De-
mocracy would not let him. "No
party, he said, "could long live on its
past history" The great wonder is
that the Republican party can live
day on its past history. He talked
long and loud about rebels, traitors,
and rebel sympathizers, and then
jumped on to the tariff very softly and
gave it as his. opinion that we are pay
ing little too much to the salt man
ufacturers, but it wouldn't do to come
down on them too much at time.
Salt was an institution in our midst,
and must be got rid of by degrees.
He then went on to the "new de-
parture," SO called, and claimed that
the Democracy had given up all their
old ideas and struck out anew. Then
he straddled the tariff again, and tho't
the duty on coal too high. 1t was hard
on New. England people, for they had
no coal mines. Then he got back on
to the Ku-klux, which he said were
operating in some sections down South,
and Congress had to enact severe law
to remedy the evil. Congress
dreaded to take such an extreme
step; it was q perilous one to take,
but the exigences of the case de-
manded it." He then wandered back
to the "new departure" and said the
Democracy had not struck out anew,
and read from little seven by nine
paper published somewhere in Florida
to prove it. Then he got onto the
bond question, and riddled Mr.. Pen
dleton severely by again telling Dick
ems story of Micawber, who, being
bankrupt and not worth a penny,
| wished to discharge his Indebtedness

THE PIsAscE ISSUE.


Radical Mismanagement of the National
Fiaanees-Tremendous Expenditures Un-
abated since the War-FrauduIent Prac-
tices in the Accounts.
A careful and comprehensive re-
view of the finances of the United
States during the. past, decade reveals
startling and imperative reasons why
the people of this country should at
once set aside all other matters and
unite to hurl from power the corrupt
rings now fattening upon the drip
pings of a prodigal and corrupt public
expenditure Aware of this volcano
that shoulders beneath their tenure of
power the Radical party has neglected
no means of concealing it from the
people. False and perverted state
IneDts have been furnished to the press
to misiead the people concerning the
true condition of affairs, and side is
sues on every conceivable subject have
been introduced in order to divert the
public mind from the ONE GREAT DAN
GER Of which the corrupt Radical par
ty stands in most awe.
The false statements alluded to are
usually prepared by uniting some
important element of the sums pre-
sented. For instance, in the reduction
of the debt comparisons, the fact that
NEARLY two hundred millions of the
debt were paid off during the j Johnson
administration is carefully suppress
ed: while the comparisons are still
further vitiated by the studious omis-
sion of some eighty millions of bonds
which were substantially donated to
the Pacific Railroad Rings by cor
rupt Radical Congress, and the equally
studious concealment. on the other
hand, of the fact that considerable
portion of the Cash in Treasury" de-
Quoted from the assumed sum of the
debt, in order to make it look smaller
is TRUST FUNDS, belonging, not to the
| United States, but to certain tribes OF
Indians, certain individuals, and cer-
taid corporations and institutions.
But these reprehensible practices
are nothing compared to those con-
cerning the EXPENDITURES of the gov
ernment. In the matter of the debt,
the cooked figures merely deceiUe the
people; in that OF the expenditures,
| they rob them. In statement recent
lily prepared at the Treasury Depart
menl, and issued as campaign docu-
ment by the Union Republican Com
lamittee of Congress. Neac York
Tribune. dag. 4th, 187l,) it is attempt
ed to be proved that the expenditures
of the year 1870 amounted to but
1922, ,124,O52; whereas they actually
amounted to $5O5. .788, 1868. As we
furnish the details of this sum below
it is sufficient in this place merely to
instance the nature of the fraud, and
allude to its gigantic extent. The
method used is to deduct from the
! true statement: l. All the extraordi-
nary expenditures. 2. All the Post
Office expenditures. 3. All the illegal
purchases of bonds. 4 All the ex-
penditures for premiums and 5. By
undertaking the amount of interest
paid by about million and a half Of
dollars. The following table shows
the character and extent of the fraud
at glance:

senfed, with the most scrupulous
regard for accuracy, it will be seen
that the total annual expense of the
Federal government, which, under
Buchanan amounted to an average of
less than seyenty-tWo millions year,
rose under Lincoln to an average of
eight hundred and fifty millions year.
This latter having been the period of
the war, we pass it over. Under the
johnson Administration, the expend-
itures rapidly fell from $685., 100000 to
S404, ,000, 600 per annum, and had the
same rate of decrease continued under
Grant, the expenditures this year
would not have amounted to over
$500, 900 per annum, including re-
duction of the debt. Instead of this
they rose during Grants first year to
| S505, 100000, and Still continue at the
astounding rate of S463, ,0O0,000 per
annum. When we come to discuss
the details of this tornado of financial
dissipation we shall see that it mainly
sweeps through the corrupt lobbies of
the Treasury and Interior Department
| of the Government. But the fact to
be borne in mind above all others is,
that the annual expenditures, instead
of gradually declining from the tre-
mendous height which they attained
during the war, only declined during
the johnson administration, and HAVE
SINCE, UNDER GRANT, TAKEN AN UP
WARD TURN. This is financial I" man
agement" with vengeance!

When Mr.. johnson relinquished the

this was heavy enough; but during

amount to over ninety-five millions
