of the finances of the country was an
liable production. He showed that the

a time of peace, found itself in a deficit
were in 1S41 and in 1857. Ia both
cases it was caused not by extravagant
expenditure but by too great a contrac-
tiOn of the revenue. Since 1868, taxes
that produced 1919, 900, 600 annually had
been repealed; but at the same time

the expenditures, the appropriations
for the last fiscal year being $3.50, 600, 600
less than for 1866. There is direct is
sue now between Mr.. Garfield and Mr..
Dawes as to the fact of an increase from
year 10 year in the annual appropria-
tions.-Ihe Nation.
