Tosal amount Of net ordinary
expenses for nine years from
1867 tols7s, tl,37s,so6, 20
The figures will also show that
the expenses of the government
for the nine years after the close
of the war, are three times larger
than that Of the administration of
Buchanan and others for the nine
years preceding the war, and the
only excuse offered by the present

crease Is that Of dishonesty.
One result of the Boutwell, ia
bles has been the endorsing of the
present dishonest government by
the Hayes and Wheeler men, thus
forcing them TO chow their true
colors--the black Gag.
