ECONOMY AND RRTRENCHMENr

These words are being mouthed daily by
selfstyled Democratic reformers. They
insist that the Government should be
turned over to them because the Republi-
cans have had wasteful administration.
Let US look at the figures, because figures
will not lie. Mr.. David A. Wells, Dem
ocrat of the adamantine type, spoke before
the Social Science Association the other
day at Saratoga, and made statement that
the debt of our cities had increased since
1860 to 81, 800. 900, 600. Everybody knows
that these cities for the most part have been
under Democratic rule. Take the New
York city debt. In 1871 this debt was
So, ,O0O, 900. In 1876 it is 500, 900, 900.
New York is ruled by the Reform Tlden
Democracy, or that class of politicians who
especially pride themselves upon retrench-
ment and reform. This sort of clap trap
is their capital stock in trade. At the close
of the war there was national debt of
more than 81, 800, ,000,0 or nearly three
thousand millions, and since 1869, when
General Grants administration COM
menced, this debt has steadily decreased,
hul1S ucUl vi NCh 1OIh SIsJ oAASS
1871, under Democratic rule, has steadily
increased, till from $S2, ,O00, 900 it now
reaches $780, 900, 900. Let the Tilden De-
mocracy gainsay this if they can. "The
damning spot will not OUT Not all the
perfumes of Arabia will wash the stain
away. There it stands to the utter dis
comfiture of the Democracy.
Who are these men who cry out ere
trenchment and reform2" In the very
next session of the Forty fourth Congress
the people will see the most extravagant
and wasteful appropriations of the public
funds made, and if possible carried
through in aid of private claimants, rail
roads, sc. Especially will this be the
case should there be majority-Is there
will be-of Republicans elected to the
Forty fifth Congress. Then we shall have
to look to the Senate to save the nation
from the most shameful and wasteful ex-
penditures of public moneys ever known
in the history of the nation.
In looking at the facts OF the public debt
it will be seen that our cities, towns and
municipal Indebtedness is vastly greater
than The Federal debt, AMI that this debt
has been incurred by those very Democrats
who cry out SO Justify for retrenchment
and reform.

II took Samuel }. ILIen quarter OF a
century 10 tind out the corruptions Of Tam

mittee CT seven1y more for personal safety
than the public good. Il took him several
weeks to write letter OF acceptance which
any ordinary lawyer could have written
within two hours, provided always that lie
had a GOOD cause. It took dim several
weeks to explain tie difference between

may have cleared his skirts Of perjury, but

1t has taken him fifteen years TO consider,
and Ee has not yet discovered that the war
to maintain the integrity Of the Govern
ment was right that rebels in arms should
be treated harshly, or that it is constitu-
tional to suppress formidable rebellion by
crippling its resources. He still thinks the
abolition of slavery unconstitutional. He
undertook to expose and punish the New
York canal ring, and on that capital to
mount into the Executive chair. The
canal ring is unpunished, the money is not
recovered, he is on the way to the White
House, but he is on slow coach, and will
reach there after the place is filled. He is

selves in office as to enable them to claim
precedence in purity of morals or excel
lence of administration. Nor Is it to be
assumed that incapacity, ignorance, or
venality in office in the South are entirely
new growths. Some of the most rapacIous,
unblusbing and open peculators of the last
few years in the South were ante bsl!urs
members of the State Legislatures or held
other high positions.
Let it not be forgotten that there would
have been no Republican party in the
South but for the carpet et-baggers; that they
stood up for the Government aud the
freedman where nobody else would, and
that the native white population refused to
participate in. any measure of reconstruc-
ton. From that day to this no honest
effort to help the Republicans establish and
maintain good government has been made
by the late rebels. They have been, as a
rule, malignant obstructiouists; and they
are now leagued with the Northern Demo-
Gratis in an attempt to put the Government
in the hands of its enemies, robits Treasury
TO pay Confederate claims, restore to OIL
cial position men who should have been
tried for treason, nullify the acts passed to
enforce the amendments to the Constitu-
ton and leave the amendments themselves
praclically nugatory.

IMPORTING VOTES.

The Democrats are as much concerned on
the subject of importing votes into Indiana
as though they had never engaged in the
business. Now, we know nothing person
ally about the present charge, but we do
know the Democratic party invented ballot
box stuffiDg, importing voters and voting
on fraudulent papers, as well as voting
without any papers, as they did in Illinois
under her old constitution. Their opposi-
tion to honest voting and to all laws IN that
direction has been so persistent that we
doubt their honesty now-no one doubts
their willingness to repeat" the same
thing. They are opposed to the rigid en-
forcement of honesty in New York, and are
in favor OF it in Indiana. This little Virtu-
Gus spasm don't amount to much as against
fifty years practice of the crime they now
condemn or praise to suit the place.
Lying, as well as fraudulent voting is a
Democratic institution. F. o. Prince,
secretary of the National Democratic Com
mittee, has discovered villainous scheme
(all fraudulent voting is villainous, and that S
the reason Democrats are such viliains) to
carry Indiana by wholesale frauds-a cor
ruption of ali the judges Of election and
stufing every ballot box in the State.
Now, the fact is, the Republican party has
never had any occasion to resort to such
measures, and consequently is lot skilled
in such means Of carrying elections as are
the Democrats by long experience. Mr..
Prince has been simply imposed upon, or,
more likely, that he makes this charge
solely for political effect. He charges,
also, that the scheme is to be applied to
Ohio in the same way. This is another
proof that Democratic rebel ref0rmers are
the salt of the earth; if they can't get to
heaven in any other way they can liz them
selves, that is if fraudulent voting don't
succeed, which they prefer TO try before
resorting to the former. To counteract this
SCHEME" all the Democratic papers are
advised to howl fraud from this time till the
election; and one member of each county
committee is to be sent for, instructed and
equipped, so that they can. put watchers on
their guard. 1t looks to a man up a stump
in swamp as if the publication would be
all sufficient, and also that this may be a

IF TILDEN is innocent in regard to the
misreporting Of his little income tax il 1862
why does the W0rId and Judge Sinuott
waste so much ink and paper in the matter :?
Ananias and Sapphira were not struck dead
for keeping back part of the price Of the
possession they sold, but for lying about it
afterwards. The fate of poor Sapphira
should be warning to Judge Sinnott and
the World. They should remember that
her punishment as the lying confederate
of her husband was just as severe aud fatal
as that inflicted upon the principal.

WHEN will the World find room to print

for he was promptly furnished with copy
of this journal confirming it.

says the Centennial takes from that place
S6,S75 and gives nothing back, and thinks
the circus a better educator because itleaves

The Democrats, contrary to their usual Gus
tom, have been doing some dirty things at the
primaries in Louisville, Ky. The Democratic
papers say that they are not creditable, which
means that they are disgraceful. The pure
Democracy of the South, going "solid" for
reform, suggest the necessity for some law to
regulate Democrats at primary elections and
prevent them from exposing their inherent
depravity, and so mar their prospect of REFORM
ing the country and politics generally.
The question of Mr.. Tilden's liability for the
income tax withheld from 1869 to 1868 was
practically settled yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court at Providence, R. l., in a
suit brought to recover the tax where the party
had withheld his returns and allowed the
assessor to impose penalty Of fifty per cent.
on his supposed income. The court held that
this could not be made plea in bar, and rem
dered Judgment for the full amount of tax
that should have been paid. VIII Mr.. Tilden

it ever been suspected that the first draft upon
this fund would be to bring Boss Tweed from
Spain, and at a time, too, when his presence in
this country might materially interfere with
The prospects of their chosen leader, there
would have been a howl for retrenchment
when this item was reached that would have
been heard with joy by Tweed in his seclusion,
and prevented the unconstitutional appropria-
ton of the public money for such a purpose.
