for many years editor Of "Moore's Rural New
Yorker" #1s
The daily gazette., 1878-10-24

THE MOST able, truthful and convincing
speeches that we have seen during this
campaign, are those by Senator Thur
man, of Ohio. We heretofore published
one of his able and logical arguments
from the stump. 1t was SO clear, so con-
else and argumentative, that it became
the key note tor the campaign from one
end of the Union to the other. He shows
conclusively that the expenditures of the
government under the Republican adj
ministratlons, aside from the interest on
the public debt and the amount paid as
pensions, which are chargeable to the
| war, We're nearly double that under Dem
ocratic administrations. There can be no
mistake about this. The farmers and
mechanics are taxed fully double what
they were before the rebellion, to pay
high salaries and to keep up thirty thou
sand otlice-holders more than is needed.
But Independent Of this the gold gamb-
lers, by demonetzing silver hoped to
make these taxes higher. The young
people now coming of age, had nothing
TO do with the war; We're wholly innocent
Of it, and yet the bad men, such as John
Sherman, who brought it on and made
millions out of it, have tried and are
trying to make these innocent young
men pay double the tax that a fair and
, honest calculation of the first cost of the
bonds and war expenditures would
, amount to. The taxes are so enormous
that our youth dare scarcely to enter
tain an idea of marriage. Even the
most industrious and frugal of them find
lit difficult to study out how they could
make ''the two ends meet" if they desire
to take upon themselves the duty OF
maintaining partner in life. And the
problem is as difficult to solve in the
country as in the cities. The taxes upon
3 the people are laid upon everything; and
; absorb all the profits Of labor. The in.
a terest account alone costs more than all
Q the expenditures Of the government I'M
ll der Mr.. Buchanan's administration
s while the pension account amounts to al
e incredible sum also. We only wonder
III that the young men are not all Demo
e Gratis; since they are opposed to sucl
enormous expenditures.

THE CIPHER DIsPATCHEs.--Th
Erery Ecening and Commercial, hating
the Democratic party, which its editors,
and its owners, save one, during their en-
tire lives have opposed, cone Of them hay-
ing declared he would rather vote for a
negro than Democrat gave credit to the
Tribune's false, absurd and slanderous
cipher dispatches, and endeavor to tasten
their authorship on Mr.. TILDEN, the
Democratic President-elect of the United
States; Notwithstanding Mr.. TILpEN
denied he had anything to do with them,
and that the New Y York Herald, Philadel-
pha Times, Record, and very many other
Independent papers accepted Mr.. Tilden's
denial. The Baltimore Gazette of to-day
again referred to those lying dispatches
as follows
at is conceded that cipher kilograms
were sent by Mr.. Tilden's friends be-
tween South Carolina and New York.
Weed and Wooley each admits that

such as were harmless and referred to
legitimate business. Among the hun
dreds OF dispatches published only few
are infamous. We charge that the unob-
jectionable ones are genuine and the
others are DELIBERATE FoRGERIEs. 1t
would be easy after having obtained these
cipher kilograms and worked out the KEY
To have altered the genuine and forged
any number required to make the story
good. The key being once discovered to
read the genuine dispatches, it would be
perfectly simple to forge others. We
charge that this has been done.
Where Were those alleged cipher tele-
grams kept these two years, and who is
the guarantor that they We're not tam
pered with? How did the alleged Gram
mercy-Park kilograms come into the pos
session Of New \ ork Tribune, and what
assurance has the public that that they
have not been altered and new ones
forged 1t is not necessary to charge
that the New York Tribune has been
party to any forgery, but how is the public
to know that it has not been played
upon by systematic forgery which it
accepted too readily as genuine docu-
ments? The Indictment of the Gramer-
cy-Park group has now been filed by
the Tribune, and Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Marble
and Mr.. Havemcyer have each sevelally
denied in the most explicit manner all
knowledge Of the infamous bargains in
the alleged cipher kilograms. The car
pet baggers testify to the same effect
Now who are their accusels what is
there to set against their denial? Con-
slider this quietly and wholly without
prejudice, y partisan paper publishes a
lot of cipher dispatches charging an in
famous conspiracy upon certain men who
had hitherto stood well with the world as
upright and honorable. This paper does
not tell where it obtained its documents,
nor who had kept them tor two years.

But 1t may be said that the comparison
should not be with a single year, because
special circumstances might make such
comparison unfair; and that the only ia r
made is TO compare period of several
years with like period. Very we'll let
us see the result OF such comparison
Let us take a period of seven years of
Democratic administration, and compare
It with a like period of Republican adj
mlnistration-both periods being years
of profound peace. Let us take the sew
en fiscal years commencing July |, 1858,
and ending June 80, 1850, when the De
mocracy We're in power, and compare
them with the seven fiscal years com
mcncing July /, 1868 three years after
the close of the war;, and ending June 30
1915, when the Republicans had unl'mi-
ted control; and what is the result The

PENSIONS AND INTEREST
Extract from Senator Thurman's Speech
The last fiscal year of Democratic ad-
ministration was that ending June 80,
1860. The ordinary expenses of the Gov
ernment for this year, exclusive of pen
sions and interest of the public debt,
were s5S,955,952. These expenses state d
in detail. were (omitting cent?

Miscellaneous, or Civil. q 7,977 1913
Now compare those expenditures with
those of the last year in which the Re-
publican party had unlimited control
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1875. The
ordinary expenses of the Government
for that year exclusive of pensions and
interest on the public debit were S142,-
013632 being S83 119, ,6S2 in excess of the
last year of Democratic administration !;
or, in other words, the Republican ex-
pendltures were nearly two and a-half
times as great as the Democratic expen-
ditures. But it may be said that our
population was much greater in 1875
Than il was in 1860, and that this ac-
counts for the incrt ased expenses of the
Government This explanation will n ot
suffice. The popua'iun in 1860 was 5l,-
1922 and the expenditures were mt the
rate of S1.S14 per capita. In 1875 the
population, as nearly as it can be be es-
timated, was 43 100000, and the expendi-
lures We're at the rate of $50 per capita,
Again, 1t may be said that the incre ase
of expenses grew out of the war. This
explanation will not answer In the fig
