SENATOR THURMAN's FIGURES FOUND TO BIZ WIDE
OF THE MARK-REPUBLIcAN RULE vINDIcATED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TKIBUNE.l
WAsHINGTON Sept. 24.--Last month it was adj
vertised in advance that the speech of Senator
Thurman, to be delivered at Hamilton Ohio would
sound the key note of the campaign. When
the key note came it was found to be a
twanging of the old familiar string which
had been sounding through three sessions OF
Congress the changes upon Republican extrava-
gance compared with Democratic economy. I'm
mediately the subordinate performers came on the
scene The Hon J. Blackburn had himself " in
terviewed" and the result, which contained several
labored tables and other evidences of suddenness
and spontaneity, was published under the guise of
an interview with the reporter of a Washing
ton Democratic organ. and in that form
circulated as campaign document all
over the land. Senator Thurman quoted
from the finance reports of the Treasury
Department from 1854 to 1860 to illustrate the fru
gality of Democratic rule, and besides the fig
ures for that period, he laid those for the
years from 1869 to 1875 as an illustration of the
lavishness and extravaganza of tie Republican
party. The Senator made q show of fairness by as
suming to deduct from the total expenses of the
Government during the Republican period the
amounts paid for pensions and for in
terest on the public debt. admitting that
these were war expenses and not properly
chargeable to Republican policy, the grand result
to which the Senator's reasoning led him being that
the per capita cost Of the Government under Demo-
cratic rule was 81 81 per annum, while under Re-
publican Administrations it had averaged So 40.
This statement was essentially untrue. and the
Treasury people who are familiar with the subject
have taken pains to give the subject careful IN
vestIgation and prepared the following table;

1t will be seen by the above that the war expen-
ses for the whole time which the Senator selected
to Illustrate the alleged extravaganza of the Repub-
lican party were considerably more than half the
entire expenses of the Government and
that the annual per capita expense of
tbe Government for the period named after these
war expenses were deducted, was less than W 70
instead of $3 40 as Mr. Thurman stated, the prices
paid for all supplies as well for services during
the entire period having been vastly enhanced as a

The Counterfeit Trade Dollar

The counterfeit trade dollar, Ofwhich
there appear to be numbers in circula-
ton, can be detected by inspecting
them in n strong daylight or gaslight
by the blueish or lead cOlOred hue
which is noticeable in most cOunterfeits.
The genuine coin weighs on postal
scale precisely one ounce, while the
counterfeit fails to move the balance
at that weight. The bad coin is trifit
thicker and perceptibly less in diane
ter than the genuine, and present q
granular surface Oh what should be the
smooth parts Of the coin. The piec,
centrally has greasy feel, but the ring
is sometimes eqHal IN tone to the gen
ufne.
