Bill for EquaJizing Bountics.
The proceedings of the Senate show
that the bill for the equalization of
bounties was not in the proper shape for
the signatures of the Speaker and of the
Vice President, it being held by old and
experienced Senators that the motion
to lay the conference report on the table,
which was agreed to by vote of 30 for,
Il against, was undcniably Il refusal
on the part Of the Senate TO
accept the report Much surprise
was expressed that the bill, though
not finally agreed to by the Senate,
should find it, way to the President and
signed by the presiding officer Of each
house. The President was informed of
these facts and withheld his signature.
But even if the bill had come before him
in an unquestionable manner he would
have returned it for these reasons:
Fir.t-thc bill appropriated from the
treasury large sum of money at
time when the revenue is insufficient for
current wants.
Second-Hc did not believe that any
considerable portion Of the eN-soldiers,
who it was supposed would be bencfic-
iaries of this appropriation, were appli-
cant, for it but rather that it would re-
suit more in measures for the relief Of
claim agents and "middc men who in
tervene or would intervene to collect or
discount the bountes granted by it.

Democratic Finan cpS.

For perseverance and adr oitness, the dr.
gus is most conspicuous in misrepresenting
the financial affairs of Republican admins
trations. Long practice has given it wonder
full facility. 1t can beat the celebrated arith-
metc man of the New York World and give
him points. We have no doubt but that the
argus editor has the capacity of the late
President Johnson's Alexander Delmar, who
ciphered the Union out of financial existence
ten years ago. Give the Argus page of
figures, the final result of which goes to show
that the expenditures of the Government
were less for the fiscal year of 1875 than dur
ing tbs years 1878 and 1874. What will it
do? How will it make it appear that the
pnbfc expenses are increasing? It would
seem to be difficult task, but the argus can
do it; and in this way. 1t will adroitly scan
the items and select two or thlee which are
larger in 1875 than in years previous. These
it will parade day after day as sample Of the
extravaganza and corruption of the Admin
istration! This may be skillful Democratic
journalism, but we submit that it is not hon
est to ones patrons to so mislead them.
The Democratic papers and orators prom
ise us great things when they are permitted
to manage the national finances. They tell
us that taxes will be reduced and give us to
understand that the expenditures will be cut
down in an astonishing way. Now we GER
tainly have right to judge of the future by
the past, and what is the record of the last
Democratic administration respecting the
national finances? The first Congress in
Buchanan's administration so modified the
tariff as to deprive the treasury of large
amount of the revenue, while the expendi-
lures were increased over those of the previ-
ous administration; and as the result there
was deficiency every year and national
debt Of millions avas being contracted in time
of peace. The following figures from official
reports will indicate the character of Demo-
cratic financiering in Buchanans palmy
days:
The Portland daily press., 1875-08-21

From the above it will be seen that Demo-
cratic craftsmanship under the administra-
ton of President Buchanan increased the
debt Of the national government about $75,-
600, 900 and this. too in time of peace. The
treasury was not only practically bankrupt
but the credit of the government was so near.
ly destroyed that Mr.. Buchanan's Secretary
Of the Treasury found the greatest difficulty
lnplacing small issue of six per cent. bonds.
lnteed, the Secretary was authorized early
in february 1851 TO issue $1S,415,OO0 six.
per ceat. bonds to meet the current expenses
for whid he received but Sic, 1896, ,223.S), the
discountbeing So, ,019, ,770.1O! And now Dem
ocratic ppers denounce the administration
because Invent to about the same expense to
exchange several hundred millions of five per
cent. bonds for six per cents which the con-
ficence that the prudent management OF tie
Republican administration had inspired ena-
bled it to do. The fact cannot be controverted
that the reckless and unpatriotic character
of the last Democratic administration so i'm
paired the confidence of moneyed men that
Mr.. Buchanan's Secretary could not place
$50,000, 900 loan. Such is the record of the
LAST era of Democratic management of the
national finances. Prudent people will want
no more it.
