Buchanan's administration, were something
less than thirteen millions of dollars, and
the defalcatons in the collection thereof
over one hundred and ffty-fve thousand
dollars. The "miscelaueous" collections
under Grants fret six years were nearly
one hundred and thirty millions Of dollars,
and the losses in the collection thereof one
hundred and forty-three thousand dollars
So that in collecting ten times the amount,
the republicans "stole" twelve thousand
dollars less than the democrats did in col
lecting the lesser amount
Under Buchanan's administration, the
gross amount of revenue collected from all
sources was $3l2, 1850 GO SO, and The de-
falcations in the collection were one hun
bred and ninety-four thousand dollars.
During the elk years of Grants sdministra-
ton, the collections, from the same sources
were S32i2,0S 1903 3s, and the defalca-
tons in it's collection less than one hundred
and sjxty-seven thousand five hundred dol
lars So that the "steaings' of the de-
mScracy in collecting three hundred and
twelve millions of dollars were tweniy-six
thousand dollars more than those of the
republicans in collecting ten times as much.
The same contrast is seen in the deial-
cations or ''stcalings' in the disbursements
of the revenue during Bdchansn's admins
tration and during the first six years #
Grants administration, rs we shall show
another day. In the meanwhile our demo-
cratic friends may contemplate and study
these facts and figures. Oar republican
friends, and those who are hestating how
to cast their vote, this fall, may also study
them with interest and profit, for they can
see therein the kind of ''reform" the dem
ocracy promise, the dish they are invited
to COOK, and the feast which is being pre-.
pared for a hungry country.

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN ''sTEAL-
IEl

We hear good deal said relative 10 tn,
corruptions of, and frauds practiced by.
he republican party, and the democracy
are asking that the administration of tn,
government may be restored to theii
hands, in order that the old order of thing
nay be restored, and the collection ant
disbursement of the public revenue may b,
managed with the same degree of honesty
hat characterized it in the good, old demo.
cratic days. Let us see the feast of which
we are invited to partake. The democrac,
were in power tor the last time under tn,
administration Of James Buchanan, from
1857 10 1851. The last administration
elected by the republican party was that of
Ulysses ). Grant, and he became president
n 1869, and entered upon his second term
N 1873. We have no particular admira
lion for General Grant, and we think tina
his administration could be improved upon
n several respects-we never expect to set
IN administration that cannot be improved
upon; we prefer, however, to trust Cover
nor Hayes and the republican party, rather
than Governor Tilden and the democracy
% make the mprovement-but let US sc,
how the fraud and corruption, the "steal
"ings' or the last democratic and the last
republican administrations compare.
We have alrc ady called attention to the
fact that the defalcations in the collection
OF the revenue, during Buchanan's admin
stration, were slxty-two cents on the
thousand dollars, while during Grants first
erm they were thrty-seven cents, and,
Turing his second term, only twenty-five
cents and that on the thousand dollars of
disbursements, the defalcations during
Buchanan's administration were six dollars
ind nineiy-eight cents, and under Grants
irst term forty cents, and during his soc.
md term only .twenty-sx cents; but, this
morning, we desire to call attention to the
gross amount of the "stesling."
During Buchanans administration, the
gross amount of collections from duties on
customs was something over one hundred
md eghty-four millions of dollars, and the
losses or defalcations in collection were
over thirty-eight thousand dollars. Dur
ing the entire first term of Grants admin
stration and the first two years and hall
II his second term, the collections were
yer one thousand one hundred and twenty
nve and half millions of dollars, while
he defalcations or losses were less than
twenty-five thousand dollars. So that
while the republicans collected nearly
seven times as much from duties on GUS
toms' their "stealings" were more than one
third less in actual amount.
The collections from miscellaneous"
sources, including land office, etc., during
