of the New York Chamber Of Com
nerce, last week developed an inter
esting and important point in favor of
Democratic administration in general,
and Governor TilGen's in particular,
in the fact that, since Tilden has been
Governor of New York, (about SIX
lcen mOntbS) the State tax has been
reduced one-half; in round numbers,
from $lG,000,000 in -, to $S,000,-
600, in 'I6, a saving of $4,000 900, to
the taxpayers. Contrast that with
Republican rule. Under Grants ad-
rnlUStratlOn, the expense Of running
lbe Government has about doubled.
Could there be any stronger argument
with the people in favor Of Demo
cratic President.
REDUCTION AND ANTI-REDUCTIoN-
ISsUE-JoINED.
The other day in TIE House, upon
the call of Committees for reports,
Mr.. Singleton, Of Mississippi, made
report from The Committee ON Appro.
priations, nOn-concurring in The One
Hundred ami Forly-tw o amendments
Of The Senate and on the Diplomatic,
Judiciary and Executive Appropria-
uOn Bills. The Speaker asked if the
Committee desired IA Coumilire of
Conference, aud the reply was
decided No. This brings matters TO
focus on ii reduction in public expen-
dituIeS. Think Of it, one huad,'ed
anil Fo,|y-trO amendments tackled on
10 he bil. by the Seuate and every one
increasing the estimates as sent from
the House. The Democratic House
may rest content 1t has done its
duly in the premises; has endeavored,
to the utmost of its ability, to Tighten
the burdens Of Government, which
have come 10 bear SO opprcssivelv
upon the people. If the Republican
Senaie should force tue House Appro-
prialiUn Committe to q conference aud
compromise, the odium would be oo
the Senate; and every Democratic
and Independent newspaper in the
land, should see tc it that The coupirv
is fully Informed in what maaner the
patriotic designs of the Democracy
have been baked, that each NAV cast
tue blame on the Republican Senate,
where it belongs.
THE UNIVERSAL DEPRESSION
in business still continues, and no
prophet can tell us wben it will give
way 10 en erprise and prosperity.
Each day records new failures, and
some of them Of factories, which throw
large numbers of working people out
Of employment. Farm lands can be
had cheaper than at any period since
The great panic of 1873; in fact, when
put up at forced sales in this vicinity, F.
they literally bring nn.bing. BY our
financial system, the money Of the .
couu,ry has all got into the hands Of
non-producers ; while those who ale
willing TO work lack capital. We are
told money is plentiful and iu,erst
low; but there is want of confidence
which kills enterprise, and it will con-
tinue until Grant leaves the White
House next March, come what NAV.
In the mean time, the people will
have to snbsist on past accumulations,
as bears do in winter on their own
fat, while GRAFT revels on $50, 900 a
Year and free juuketings at public
expense. Patience Patience.
