Democratic Expendit ure.


For two weeks the Argus has been silent re-
specting the expenditures of the government.
A short time since we endeavored tomake the
cause of the increase of such expenditures
plain to our neighbor, but at the expiration
of few days he again appears with another
lot of figures this time correct ones) which
he desiers to have explained. He desires to
know why the expenses of the war and navy
departments, Of the Iudian bureau and the
miscellaneous" have so greatly increased
since the days of James Buchanan. He
does not inquire about the $103, ,000, 900 for
interest on the public debt. He seems to
have at length recognized the fact that is the
annual penalty the people of the United
States must pay because of Democratic re-
bellion. Neither does our neighbor include
the pensions in the expenditures of the gov
ernment because he has ascertained that
this amount is necessary to partially reward
the men MANNED by Democratic bullets while
suppressing the Democratic rebellion. Even
the evidence of this slight advance in the
thorny path of nowledge is encouraging.
A few days since, Senator Boutwell, pre-
sented in the Senate statement prepared
with great care by Hon. Charles F. Co.
nant, Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, showing the net expenditures of the
government in the years 1900, 1910. and at
the close of every period of ten years follow
ing and for 1875. There is also minute and
analytical comparison of the expenses of the
government in 1860 and 1875, including in
the latter year all those expenditures which
arose from the rebellion. The tables of Mr..
Conant have not yet been printed in full.
The name of Mr.. Conant, however, is a
sufficient guarantee for the reliability of his
results.
The total expenditures for 1875 were $274,-
623, ,392.S4 and for 1860 $63, ,O25,, ,7Ss.9s. AZ
ter deducting all the expenditures resulting
from the war, Mr.. Conant finds balance of
$S4, ,O2S, ,762.49 as the total expenditures
for the same purposes which those of 1860 were
made, which, reduced to the gold basis of the
Buchanan period is $74,O2s, ,6SS.O9.
In order that the amount and nature of the
deductions may be known, we append por-
ton of one of Mr.. Conant's tables:
tThe first column gives the total expenditures for
the fiscal year 1875. The second embraces the "de-
ductons OF expenditures arising in consequence of

and the large number of testimonials which are
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use, conclusive proof of its great
value. 1t is recommended by physicians and apoth-
ecaries As a Blood-Purifier and Health -RestOrer,
1t has no equal.
. VEGETINE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
ent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they can be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
doubt. In many of these the persons say that
their pain and suffering can not be expressed as in
cases of Scrofula where apparently the whole body
was one mass OF corruption. If VEGETINE will re-
eve pain, cleanse purify and cure such Diseases re-
storing the patient to perfect health after trying DIFF
erent physicians many remedies, suffering for years.
is it not conclusive proof if you sufferer, you
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the cir
eIa,lating fluid. It can be truly called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source of disease origin
ates in the blood; and medicine that does not act
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes lifeless and stagnant, either from change of
weather or climate, want of exercise irregular diet,
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart tone of
ylgor to the whole body. The conviction is, in the
public mind as well in the medical profession that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe, more successful in the cure of disease
than mineral medicines VEGETINE is composed of
roots, barks, and herbs 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe to give infant Do you need it?
DO not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it.

THE argus has the effrontery to assert that
Samuel j. Tilden was prominent in breaking
the Tweed ring. He was about as promi-
nent as was the Argus which late in the
summer of 1871 was ridiculing the charges of
the New York Times against the Tweed ring.
Only year before that time, Mr.. Tilden's
name was among those of the Tammany ring
as delegate to the State Convention. AZ
ter Tweed's villainy had been hopelessly ex-
posed and after actions had been commenced
against him, Mr.. Tilden, like good many
other shrewd fellows, turned states evidence
against his old associate. Being sharp law
yer, Mr.. Tlden was invited. 10 take part in
the prosecution. Seeing that it was an op-
perfume moment as the Hon. John Morris
sey remarked "to stop stealin" and shout
''thief, thief" he became reformer. But
he has even done Tweed good turn. When
he escaped from Jail, Gov. Tilden offered no
reward for his apprehension and the sheriff
allowing the culprit to get clear still retains
his place and shouts for Tilden and reform.
