,f.NrFFsTLY WRONG-THE UNFAlRNESS OF HIS
COMPARISONS.
lBY rELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
xU,surxeroN. Aug. 23.-Next to the fraud plank
.. .bo Democratic platform, that upon which they
lJ their highest hopes of success in their endeav
y 20 secure control of the National Treasury is de-
s.a,;pated Republican extravaganza. A specimen
.bis snecious but utterly unfair style of reason
,ao isfound in that portion of Senator Humans re-
can't speech in which, by comparison of the expenses
u the Government during series of years when
ebsDemocracy had control oft with those OfsmIlar
asriod under Republican rule, it is made to appear
raj the cost of administration in the latter period
about three times as great in the former. No
,bnting man need be tod that any such compare
can which does not also comprehend comparison
ofreceipts is manifestly absurdly unfair, inasmuch
ssapy increase of revenue requires an increase of
me force necessary to collect and guard it. Thus
tberevenues of the Government during the years
beween 1869 and 1875, which is the period selected
Nv Mr.. Thurman to illustrate Republican expendi-
tures we're about three times great as those dur
ine the years between 1854 and 1860, the Demo
cratic period selected for comparison, an expendi-
ture of three times the amount for collecting and
applying these increased revenues would naturally
be looked for But this is only of the minor de-
feets in his argument The honorable Senator makes
great show of fairness in excluding. as he claims
athe expenditures OccasOned by the war;" and
his he assumes to have done by deducting the
amounts placed under the head of pensions" and
interest on the public debt.
Mr.. Thurman selects for detailed analysis the ex-
psnditures for the year 1875 and, having deducted
var evnenditures he makes the result as follows:
