THEN AND MOVIE

For the purpose of Showing the reckless
extravaganza of the Grant administration,
and hoY the people Of this country are
taxed under Democratic and Radical Re
publican rule, the New York Express prints
a table, taking as q basis the expenditures
of the last year of Mr. Buchanan's admin
istration, showing the actual needs Of
Grant, as follows:

These are facts, not inventions, and show
the oppressive taxation of the people. Now,
says the Express, let rs add to this com
parison in the expenses Of som" ofrhc de
paltments:
NAvY-FACr NUMBEI, ONE.
IN six years of peace preceding the war,
1866 to 1860 inclusive, the total naval ex-
penditues were SSOU72.524. During six
wears Of peace attnr The war, 1866 to 1871
inclusive, The expenditures were slGl,@o7,-
OsS-more than double the cost off!e Dem
ocratic administration.

expenses Of The War Department were

INDIANS-TACr NJ NBEB THREE.
Here the expenditures from 1855 10
1850, inclusive. under Democratic admir-
istration, were S2l, 81. $50. From 1866 to
1871. inclusive, they amounted to S29.9lG,-
SOl-about S9,OOO,0O0 more than they were
under Pierce and Buchanan. And yet the
Indians have continually diminished in
numbers. Willie the cost Of taking care of
them has increased in the ratio Of'their de
crease.
This mod Of expenditure has bnt
one parallel, and that drawn from the
leaves of the Sybil, which increased in
value as they decreased in numbers.
