The brains of the republican party,
and what is more important its treasury
lie in Washington City. That treasury
is the treasury OF the country, and it is
supplied by taxes imposed upon the
people, and expended under laws made
by congress, generally known as ap-
propriaton bills. We know great
many poor devils in this section who
are only getting fifteen or twenty dollars
per month for hard labor, who, a few
years ago, could command, for the same
work, fifty per cent more pay. The
brains, above alluded to, will take very
good care to accept the reduction offer
ed by democratic house rather than.
as they term it, allow the wheels of
government to stop; or in other words
to allow their political workers and
cldquerS to become scattered and IN
available for campaign purposes. A
slightly reduced treasury is SO much
better than no treasury at all. The
democrats can only do their duty by
standing firm.
