Works. they had been having quite Il, stir,
occasioned BY the famous Capt. Tom Cox,
OF st. Louis and Cincinnati notoriety, being
put ont of the shop by the foreman, Knapp,
for trying to undermine him and secure the

work is made in this section, viii state
that It j. reported and generally believed
that tins foreman, Knapp, gets laborers to
take doors, and charges them twenty dol
lars per month for their use, and
~ keeping them completely in subsection,
! he has 80 far succeeded i'll keeping the mat
| ter quiet. The men are not allowed to
talk To one another. and as some sixty are
working on doors, the prison-hke aspect of
the interior OF the foundry can readily be
imagined.
! Despite our numerous warnings, and the
appeals Of Union No. %, Of Chicago, of
moulders to stay away from there, they
hay literally iiockcd there in droves, and
the consequence j. that there are now
over one hundred ia'e mo,l lers clamcrous

The great effort OF the Radi

The great effort OF the Radi-
Gals who support Grants corrupt
administration, is to3prove that
he is administering affairs cheap
er than ever before done. In or
del to do this they resort to the
meanest deception and lieing.-
The Cincinnati Enquirer answers
one of the spouters as follows, to
which we also invite the atten-
ton of our neighbor of the Regis
ter who is laboring at the same
piece of fraud:
"a few days since Mr.. Jack
Logan--better known as United
States Senator from illinois
made a speech in which he gave
the figures pretending to show
that the expenses of the Govern
ment for the year 1871 were less
per capita than the expenses
were in 1860, the year before the
war. Jack figures it out that
the taxes in 1850 were 81 95
per head, and in 1871 81 TO-
Now, Jack does nottake into &C
count $9,00O,00e which were de-
rived from the sale of old arms
to the French, and which was
paid into the Treasury. Jack
delucts from the present Admin
istration the amount of interest
paid upon the National debit
He does not deduct it, however
in 1860. The amount paid fol
pensions is deducted in 1871, but
it is not in 1860. Such in the de
ceptive manner in which the
Grant ofice-holders try to.jqstl
fly him before the people. The
fact is, aftor making proper De
auctions of interest.pensions, etc.
the ordinary expenses last yea
were So 40 per head, while il
1860 they were 81 IS, but little
more than one-half IS much.--
This illustrates the fraud of Lo
gan's speech, which has beer
made a campaign document OF
the part of the Grant party.

The editor Of the Register is fig
uring eu5 the present admins
ttation to be the most gconomi-
cal one that ever existed. We
proved to him q few weeks ago
that he was either ignorant of
the expenses undor Buchanan's
administration or he was inten-
tionaliy lieing to his readers, in
order tt bolster up the miserable
corrupt and thieving administpa-
ton of Useless Grant. He quotes
what the Republicans take as
I'll their basis what they call a"con-
densed" statement made by Con-
gresham DAVIS of Massschu-
sets, which is nothing but al in
famous cheat and deception
The condensed seems to be in
leaving out of the statement
three times az much as the entire
b expenses OF former years. For
instance, in giving tire expenses
for, 1860 Mr.. Dawes includes in
derest on the public debt, PEN
sions and every other conceiva-

the entire expenses of that year
$63,025,788.
On the other hand, in giving
the expenses under the Grant
administration in 1871, he con>
deuses out of the statement in
terest On the public debt, one
hundred and thirty millions, PEN
sions paid, besides from fifty to
hundred millions which they

on account of the rebellion
which we suppose means the
stealing of Grants brother-in-
