considerable cost in money and a much
greater cost in humbug and palaver, is
that it is desirable to impress them with
the power of the government, and the
hopelessness of resisting it. The real
impression made upon them is one of a
sense Of their own Importance, They do
not believe that the government would
take all this trouble to entertain them if
the government were not afraid of them,
and when they get home they naturally
desire to deepen the terror in which we
convince them that they are held. Of
course there is another reason for bringing
them east, and that is that somebody gets
money by that costly and absurd opera
ton; but the effect upon the Indians them
selves aud their tribes is distinctly bad. 1t
cannot be too plainly nor too often put be-
fore them that whenever white men really
need the lands they occupy the white
men will have them in spite of treaties.
The ease with which the Indian consents
in exchange for anything he Immediately
wants to abrogate treaties, and dispose OF
his birthright for mess of whisky, would
make this an easy negotiation if we did not
complicate it by pampering the Indian

A Picture of the Result Of Republican
Rula.

The Chicago Inter Ocean is an admin
istration paper, and is edited by gentle
man who was recently member OF con-
gress from Iowa. 1t would not willingly
over-draw picture of things as they exist
throughout our country to-day, Yet here
is what it said, in a leading editorial, on
Monday last:
'Laborers are unemployed, the price of
labor has fallen to zero, the export and
import trade of the country is steadily de-
clining, the revenues of the government
are falling off; only gold goes up, only the
gold export increases. Real estate de-
clines. rents tumble, everything but gold
goes down. The country staggers under
great load of depression, The
laborer is out of work, the merchants, one
by one, are going out of trade, the manu-
factory is closed, the shop of the artisan Is
without orders, and the artisan is bothered
to know how he is to avert starvation from
himself and family"
And that is the confession Of leading
Republican, of the results Of the POLICY
and management of his party for the last
Is years. The picture is not oyer-drawn,
1t is true. The country is in precisely the
condition named-and it was brought tt
that condition by the incompetency and dis
honesty of Republican rule.
What remedy does the Inter- Ocean now
propose, to relieve the people and restore
prosperity? More Greenbacks!" More
corruption of our currency. More depre
citation of our rag money. More counter
felt and less real money. Speculation, in
Hation. bubbles, etc., instead Of a return
to honest money, frugal government, and
legitimate business. For Is years Of Re
publican rule, we have seen no coin-noth
ing but deprecated rags, inflated and I'm
natural speculations, extravaganza, debt
taxes and dishonest management.
The policy of the Republican party is nj
more sensible that it would be for dairy
man TO water his milk expecting to max,
more butter or cheese by the operation
Republican policy means increased taxes
increased debt, increased burdens for the
people, less burdens for the idle, the spec
ulators. and the non. producers,-a de
based currency, and a government run b!
rings Of thieves and swindlers.

EAsToN, Worth Co., Kas., June Z,
ED. REPUBLICAN: Since my last report
the hoppers have kept at their work of de-
vastation. Few fields have escaped. A
very large per cent, of the corn fields will
be marked out anew and replanted. Flax.
rye and oats are total loss Wheat will
not average over 8 bushels per acre to-day
and the hoppers are feeding on it every
night. A hopper mounts head shortly
shines only upon a stalk of straw. Pota-
toes are eaten to the ground and have been
kept there for two weeks. The damage
that this will do the crop is question for
the future. No work is being done. but
the farmers are making preparations to
plant largely of corn after the hoppers
leave. A few have got their wings and
some few are dying from some cause.
Resp'ly yours, A. G. CHASE.

they have come east; though there seems
to be doubt whether they understood it
or not. 1t was hardly necessary to have
brought them east for that purpose. Some

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1875.
COMMANDER M'DoUGALLs VISIT TO THE FIRST
KING OF SIAM.
Reports to the Navy Department from Admiral
PennocK, commanding the United States naval
forces on the Asiatic station dated Hong Kong,
February 20. say that Commander McDougall, OF
the Saco, had recently an interview with the first
King OF Siam. and with the authorities generally,
by whom he was received with marked courtesy,
and he found 1t very gratifying TO the slamese
authorities that the visit Of the Saco had no refer
ence to their internal troubles. A steamer was
placed at her disposal while she was at Bang
kok. and noble OF high RANK was sent
to point out the objects OF interest. An entertain.
ment was given by the Minister or Foreign Affairs.
and every thing was done to make the time pass
pleasantly.
Trade In Siam is almost at q standstill. IN con-
sequence OF great fall in the price OF rice. There
is very little American trade with Siam, and no
American vessels we're In port.
The Navy Department is also informed by Ad-
miral Pennock that he had directed Commander
Lewis TO anchor the YantIs or the city OF Canton.
Commander Lewis had called upon the yiceroy,
and was well received by that iunctionarY. who
OH the next day visited and inspected the ship,
and expressed himself as much pleased with his
reception.

Exchequer.
1t SHOWS that the surplus OF receipts over ex-
pendltures for the fiscal year ending March 81,

The expenditures for the current nscal year are
estimated at f75,26s,oOo, and the revenues at
fT5,6s5. 600, leaving surplus or f417,ooo.
The Chancellor stated that these estimates are
liable TO be affected BY supplementary estimates in
connection with Irish education measures and
other matters. The only change In taxation he
proposes is the readjustment or brewers licenses
and stamp duties, through which he expects the
surplus will be reduced to $751;, 000
Mr.. Chlders objected that the estimates were
too finely drawn. and he anticipated a deficit.
The Treasury budget includes the following plan
