This leaves for the payment of all
the expenses of the government for
eleven years, army, navy, Congress,
the civil list, Indians, foreign inter-
course, including the purchase Of
Alaska, and the largely multiplied
expenses of the government in hand
ling its debt, collecting the revenue,
&C., only 1925, sos, 436.o1, which it
will be noted is less than the amount
which the Democratic platform says
was squandered in useless expenses,
by s179,e6s,4 1850.
Mr.. Tilden is popularity credited
with the authorship of the ST. Louis
platform, and we have specimen of
the same sort of reckless assertion
lii his long winded letter of accept
ance. With an air of profound wis
dom he says:
''There is no royal road for q govern
ment more than for an individual or a
corporation. What you want to do now
is cut down your expenses and live with
in your income. l would give all the
legerdemain of finance and financiering;
homely MAXIM, Live within your in
come"
Here is plain inference that the
government has not been living with
in its income. Yet Mr.. Tilden well
knew when he wrote the above, that
in not one year of the "eleven years
of peace" has the government failed
to meet all its current obligations, or
to have surplus income. During
the eleven years, this surplus amount
ed in the aggregate to 1924, l65, 1885,
10. In the same period, the Repub-
lican administration has decreased
the public debt $65G,992, 246.44. It
has reduced the annual interest
charge since 1869 over thirty millions,
and since 1866 the. annual expendi-
lures of the government have been
reduced over S262, 100000, and Fed
eral taxation more than $3OO,OOO,OOO,
while the losses sustained by default
ting officers and banks, compared
with the amount of money involved,
has been very much less under the
present administration-which the
Democratic platform denounces as
yenal and corrupt-than those of any
former administration since the Or
ganlzation of the government.
These are the facts and figures,
drawn from the public records, that
completely refute the misrepresenta-
tons of the Democratic platform,
and confound the men who uttered
them. They show in baleful light,
the utter recklessness of that party,
which, with specious and hypo-
critical pretense of reform, deliberate
ly in its formal declaration of prln-
ciples, falls ifies the record to serve
a party purpose.

The Southern Programme.

The ability and prominence of the
Mobile (Ala.) Register, John For
sythe editor, and its rightful place as
a leading exponent of Southern Dem
ocratic opinion and policy, will be
questioned by no intelligent person.
This prominence and standing in
the party, gives peculiar signitican &c
to the following editorial expression
from its columns. We ask our read
ers if they are prepared tor the pro-
gramme here laid down,o wiling to
place the Democracy in power with
the knowledge that its dominant ele-
ment, the Southern wing, have de-
signs of the revolutionary character
indicated in the following extract
from the Register.

Gov. Hayes in this manner:

The Architect s Wife.
A SPANISH LEGEND.

If might be permitted TO add another TO
the eight beatitudes OF the catechlsm, II
should be as follows: Blessed are the hus-
bands of prudent women, for theirs is the
domestic felicity.
And if might be allowed to illustrate the
beattudes by historical notes, | would ap-
pend 10 the niuth the following narrative.
About the middle of the fourteenth CEN
tury Don Henry of Trastaman was be-
sieging The city OF Toledo, which faithful
TO its King, Don Pedro, the cruel, was de-
Tending itself with tenacious courage.
Many times did the loyal and valiant
Toledans rushing across the magnificent
bridge of ST. Martin, one of the most pre-
cious architectural jewels which that mon
umental city possessed, throw themselves
upon the besieging host, encamped in the
cigdrrdles, and carry destruction and
slaughter to the very tent ofits leaders.
In order to put stop to such sallies, Don
Henry determined to destroy the bridge.
This bridge as we have already said. was
one of the many masterpieces Of architect
ure which form, as it were. girdle round
the city OF the martyrs, the councils. and
the cavaliers. but of what value are histo-
nc or artistic monuments in the eyes Of an
ambitious politician whose only dream is
| to bury his pouiard in brothers bosom.
that he may seat himself upon that broth
er's throne?
The Cigdrrdles of Toledo. SO celebrated
| in the writings of the Spanish poets, is a
lovely suburb occupied by well kept gar
| aens and orchads. clothed with stately
trees, and dotted here and there with beau.
