WHERE DOES THE MONEY 60 To?
The public debt ON the LIST of July
1866 wasin round numbers %, 775, Co., :
600. On the 1st of July 1879, it was
2,250, ,OO0, ,O00-being reduction Of
$525, 600, 600 in six years; an annual
average of &67. 100000.
On TIE 1st of July, 1875, if we may
believe the now throughly discredited
reports OF the Secretary of the Treasury,
this debt had been further reduced 10
81, ,100, ,O00, ,0O0-a reduction in four
years of $3.50, 1000, 900; an average of
$37 100000 year.
1t will thus be seen that the average
annual reduction has been reduced
$50, 100000. Under the ratio from
1866 to 1872. the entire debt would be
paid off in twenty-four years; under
the ratio of the last four years; it will
take fifty-six years to pay off the
debt.
Tie srcredSe an public erpenditul es
has corresponded with the decrease in
the payments upon the public debt.
If the Republican party had kept
down the expense, as it promised to do
in 1879, it could have epplied Sl20, ,00U.
600 more toward the payment of the
public debt in the past four years.
And this could have been done by
simply maintaining the rate of expend
iture where it assured the country it
could be maintained when President
Grant was elected the second time.
Two classes of debt were before the
tinued to pay off the interest bearing
debt, in violation of law" or it
could have used this $120, 900 900 as a
fund from which to redeem the non
interest bearing debt. That is, it
could have resumed specie payments
long before this;for this extra expendl
iture of $120, 900, 900, added to the
coin in the treasury, would have more
than sufficed for the purpose of re-
demption.
The Republican party has done nei-
ther of these things. 1t has neither
purchased bonds and thus saved the
interest, nor has it resumed specie pay
ments, and thus removed the fearful
evils of an irredeemable currency
Instead, it has recklessly squandered
the public moneys, leaving the debt
to oppress us, and violating its prom
ise to provide specie,based currency,
Even this is not all, 1t demanded
heavier appropriations for next year
than have ever been called for before.
Its cry is ever, "Give! Give!! Give!.n
1t cannot be satisfied. 1t cares neither
for the burdens of debt, nor the conses
lquences of deprecated currency, MOI
the weight of taxation.
| 1t might have further reduced thu
debt; or it might have resumed specie
payments; or it might have reduced
taxation. These three alternatives
were before it. 1t took neither; bu
added millions to the expenditures.
1t is time the prof1igate and reckles
party was hurled from power.

Now that Governor Tilden has got
his letter out of the way, he has writ
ten another one-j just as necessary, but
it will be even more unpleasant read
ing for his opponents than was his acc
ceptance. In reply to the suit brought
by the st. Louis, Alton and Terre
Haute Railroad Company, he says that
for eleven years he acted as counsel
for the purchasing committee and the
road, and that in all that time and
since he has never received any COM

MIR. William A. Potter, late SUPER
vising architect of the treasury, has
returned to New York, thoroughly
disgusted with official position. He
saws he was not asked to give up his
place, but resigned voluntarily, and
would have done so sooner but for the
fear he entertained that the position
would fall in the hands of Mr.. Mullett
again, whose pretensions as an archir
tect he ridicules. Mr.. Potter left the
position convinced that Nullett would
be unable to obtain it.

CHICKEN CHoLERA.-As a great many
chickens are dying, of the cholera, We
give the following cures, taken from an
exchange. We would advise all who
have chickens sick with the cholera to
give them q trial:
Cut onions fine tops and all; mix
with wheat, bran or corn meal. The
onions are the essential. They will pro.
vent cholera as well a. cure il. They
will make the hens healthy and they
will lay well. Feed literally. This has
been tried with great success. Put on
ion tops in the hens nests.
When my fowls begin to look sleepy
and act stupid, ] give them three tc
four tablespoonsfuls of strong alum wa
ter, and repeat the same next day.
also mix their food with alum water
feeding IL twice day for two or three
days, afterward once week. Since
beginning this practice have not LOST
hen from cholera. As a preventive
have the roosting place dry and clean
the places where chickens roost shoultl
be cleaned once n week, and sprinkled
with lime or wood ashes.
