WHAT GEASTISM HAS COST.
New York Trfbuna

The following comparison between
the expenditures of the National Gov
eminent in the last complete year Of
Andrew Johnson's Administration and
the fifth year of Grants IS so simple
and so easy to verify, and at the same
time so suggestive, that We venture to
ask the reader to cut it out and keep
it IN his pocket-book for future refer
ence. The facts contained In it de.
molish every speech made IN the last
three years by Mr.. Dawes, or Mr.. Gar
field, or Mr. Boutwell,, or any one else
claiming for the present Administra-
ton the merit Of economy.
There are four branches of public
expenditure regarding which no COM
parisOn can be fairly instituted between
1868 and 1874. These are d the inter
est On the public debt, the principal of
which was greatly reduced by the sur
plus revenues Of the intervening years;
% the cost of the War Department,
which IN 1868 was enormous, on ac-
count of the payments of bOunties
voted by Congress to the soldiers; ~
the payments for pensions, which are
greater IN 1874 than IN 1888, and a.
the expenditures incident to the collec-
ton Of the internal revenue, including
taxes refunded and drawbacks, which
items we exclude from the comparison
we are about to make, because most Of
the taxes collected through that branch
Of the public service IN 1867 and 1868
have been repealed. The totals Of the
four classes of expenditure above
named, emitting, however, in each
year, the expenditures under the War
Department for ''forts and fortifca-
tons, and rivers and harbors, 4" were
respectively as follows, for the years
named:

Now comes Wendell Phillips to en-
tighten us all on thesubject of national
finance. He does not care what plan is
adopted, If it secure these three results:
l. Take from the National banks all
right to issue bills. 2. Let the nation
itself supply currency ample for all
our needs. 3. Reduce the rate Of in
terest. There is only one thing hat he
objects to in all plans, and that is any
attempt to return to a specie basis. He
says it is impossible, and would be in
furious if possible. In thesame breath
he assertst that "time and circumstances
viii make greenbacks equal to gold
yes, better than gold" If so, it fol-
lows that "time and circumstances
viii accomplish the impossible, and in
doing so prove very injurious to the IN
terests Of the country. Wendell ought
to be vested with supreme power to
stay the tide of "time and circum-
stances"

Increase IN SIX years. 81 ,9l5, 5s3
NOTE.-We have taken from the expenditures
Of 1874 the sum OF SIS, 800 600 received from the
Government of Great Britain and invested for
the benefit Of the Alabama claimants.
When the people call on Congress to
retrench or blame Congress for not re-
trenchiEg, the complaint is not that too
much is paid for interest on the public
debt, or that too much is paid for pen
sions or bounties to soldiers. The
charges of extravaganza are not an
swered by pointing to a decrease of one
hundred millions IN the amount paid
for bounties to soldiers and interest on
the debt. The extravaganza COM
planned Of is, if anywhere, in the ex-
penditures embraced IN our second Ia
bic, and tie figures that we bring to-
gether are convincing proof that the
extravaganza charged really does ex-
is5. When Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Gar
field throw all the expenditures of the
year into one lump and prefer a claim
to praise for frugality on the results
obtained by a comparison of such gross
amounts, they are guilty Of an attempt
TO impose on the public.

TIE sOUTH's TIME FOR:HEROIsH

Springfield, tMass.) Republican.
Coupled with force bills, with incen-
diary reports from committees of Northern
Congressman, with CminOus threats from
the White House, with an administrative
policy which not only does not seek the
things that make for peace, but seeks the
things that make for war, this Civil Rights
bill takes on a new and unnatural charac-
ter. Projected into the South under such
conditions of irritation and alarm, its value
to the negro and to the country can be
easily computed. The carrier dove is one
of the most innocent and useful of birds.
Tie a can Of nitrO-glycerine to it, and it be-
comes a menace and a terror. IL is almost
impossible to eXaggerate the magnitude Of
the interests at stake, at this moment, upon
the moderation and self control of the best
people Of the South, and upon their success
in controlling their more ignorant and ex-
cita5le neighbOTs. Never has a high-spir-
tied people found itself in a case calling
more urgently for the heroic virtues-jus-
tice, prudence, temperance, fortitude.

say that if Grant should send a mes
sage to Congress ordering the men,
bars to burn incense to Jupiter, at
least these three men would start on a
keen run for Gen. Buffers seat to get
his orders about the orthodox altar"

All the economy which Mr.. Dawes is

taxes Is in three Of the four items
above named. Let Us now see how the
comparison stands with the remaining

IN 1868 were 1870, 339, l34,, from which,
subtracting the four classes mentioned
