THE Neso Eru has now upon its fourth
page about two columns of standing matter,
mostly made up of misstatements and misrep.
resentations. The attempt is to show that
there has been au enormous contraction of
lega[tender currency since 1866. In no less
than five distinct items is the assertion made
that the 1905, amounting to SS30,0O0, 900,
were legal-tender. The Era well knows that
not dollar of the 7-30 notes was legal-tender.
The statement that they were has been offici-
ally disproved, and in repeating this state
ment the Era is making deliberate attempt
to deceive its readers. 1t quotes in substanti-
ation-the only attempt at substantiation it
makes-from letter written by Mr.. Spinner
in 1876, but it disingenuously suppresses any
mention of his letter dated this year, in which
he denies that the 1905 were legal-tender.
One good thing the Neao Era has done. 1t
has ceased to quote a report of an interview
with Jay Gould as an editorial opinion of the
New York Tribune. But it must have done
this act of honesty by mistake.

The American people have one imperative
duty yet to perform before they can expect to
reap the full reward of the valor, patriotism
and self-sacrifics of which they furnished the
world such magnificent examples while they
were upholding the flag of the Union. They
have shown their prowess by feats Of arms
that challenged the admiration of mankind.
Their love of liberty, their faith in free insti-
tutions have been manifested in manner
that can leave no doubt of the sincerity of
their devotion to the principles of self-gov-
ernment, which is the very corner stone of
the Republic whose Centennial they lately
celebrated with so much JUNCTION and pride.
The thing which remains to be done now is

THE Argus may skip round the subject of
the appropriations as much as it pIeases, but
it cannot get over the fact that they have
been increased over $24,0OO,OOO since last
year. No jugglery with figures can hide that.
Democratic houses have set up a false claim
to economy and have attempted to mislead
the people by Withholding as long as possible
portion of the SUM essential to carry on
the government. Now the bills can no longer
be deferred and so the deficiency bills are
passed. Thus is proved what the Repuh-
licans asserted, that the vaunted retrench-
ment was fraud deliberately contrived and
planned to deceive the country, and that the
pretended saving was not real reduction,
but merely postponement of payment. It
is suggestive fact that the deficiency bills OF
the present year alone are greater than
for the last four years of Republican con-
troll in the House taken together. This
truth proves that the Republicans honestly
and promptly met all of the public require
ments, while the Democratic managers, in
order to make up false claim of economy for
political campaign, refused to meet the
just necessities Of the government and put
them off to future time. Another fact
shows the difference between the two parties.
While the Republicans had control, they
steadily reduced expenditures. In the last
year of a Republican House the appropria-
tions were $16,000,000 less than the year be-
fore, and in the last two years the reduction
amounted to $2S,OOOO00. On the other hand,
Democratic rule is marked by rapid increase.
As already stated, the appropriations for this
year are 1924. 100000 more than two years ago.
This contrast is an argument as strong for
the Republicans as it is against the Demo-
