RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES

4
The subjoined letter and appended Off.
cial table showing the Receipts and Ex-
penditures of the Federal Government for
the Fiscal year ending june 80, 1876. will
be read with interest by those who want
actual information on a most important
subject. The difference between the Re-
publican and Democratic papers on this
question and on others is that the Demo-
Gratis print sensational rumors and the
Republicans give official facts and figures.
If from the $274 900, 900 of last years ex-
penditures there be deducted the amount
paid for interest on the public debt, for
pensions. for increased army expenses
and all other items growing directly out
of the late rebellion, il viii be found that
the expenditures reckoncd on gold basis
to-day are as small as at any other period
in proportion to the population of the
country. And there is no fairer way to
compare different periods than upon rela-
tive population. But without further COM
ment we invite attention to the following
official documents.
