increase over 1873 in the customs revenue
Of $685. 1857 80. The profits on account
Of coinage amount for the year to over ST..
100000. Turning to the other side Of tho
account It appears that while the receipts
show an increase OF some $l,O0O,OOO,
there was an advance In expenditures Of
over s3O,OOO,OO0. The course Of the
Treasury since 1870 Is thus indicated:
"At the end Of the fiscal year 1870 the re.
ceipts exceeded the expenditure by 500
O22, 241 SO; in 1877 by S3O,3io,577 60; in
1878 by S9O7O0,551 30; in 1870 by only
s0,s79,3OO 03." The detailed statement Of
receipts and expenditures for 1870 is as
follows:

After deducting srom the increase in
expenses for 1870 the S5,5OO,0O0 paid out
on account OF the fisheries award,$S,OOO,O0 O
on account o farrcars Of pensions and 3d..
900, 900 for interest on account OF resump.
ton and the reiunding operations, there
remain an increase Of over $l2,0OO,0OO TO
be accounted for. OF this sum at least Sl0,-
100000 must be charged to the extrava-
gance Of Congress, To make matters
worse, when the record Of the current ifs
cal year shall have been made upit will
show still greater extravaganza. The
Journal Of Commerce correspondent recalls
the late official statement from the Treas
ury Department announcing q decrease
in the cost Of collecting the
customs revenue OF several Of
the larger ports for 1870 as compared
with the cost for 1873. The showing was,
OF course, favorable to Mr.. Ghorman's i'd
ministration. But it appears that the TO-
tai cost Of collecting the customs ROY.
enue for 1879 was Sl0,025, 1924, as
against sl7,4l2,7 III 50 for 1873. 1t is thus
seen that outside Of the two or thres
larger ports, the cost of collection was in.
creased during 1870 about 100000.
The persist ent tendency Of the Gov
eminent toward increased expenditures,
while the cost Of living and in
dividual expenses have been decreas-
ing affords food for a deal Of relec'
ton on the part Of the people. The lesson
to be enforced is that a greater degree OF
vigilance in looking after the acts Of public
officials OF every class must come about il
government Of the people and for the peO'
pie is to be a success.

The last table (of manufacturing inter-
ests) is computed from the census OF ten
years ago. It is believed at the office Of
the Secretary of State in Columbus that
the annual product OF manufactures had
more than doubled in 1875. Since 1875
the State, its mines, its farms, its manu-.
features, the interests OF capital and the
interests Of working people have suffered
considerably. How blue many industries
looked only a year or two ago! But times
have changed. In the coal mines, the
iron mines, everybody is at work; farmers
are employing m unusual number Of
hands in %husbanding their latest crops;
iron mills, blast furnaces machine shops,
saw and planning mills, flour mills and
many other manufacturing establishments

The trial Of the persons charged with the
tissue ballot frauds in South Carolina IS
bringing out one or two marked character
istics of the present political and social con-
dition in the Southern States, which are not
unworthy the careful consideration of philo-
sophie observers. 1t is in the first place, quite
evident that whatever course the defence may
take. the belief of the community in which
the trials are held-that is, Of what are called
the respectable and ruling classeS-is that the
frauds charged were committed. and the per-
sons at bar are guilty, but that they were justi-
fed by the circumstances of the case. 1t
is the peculiar feature of these trials
that what is called, and no doubt Is, the bet
ter portion of the community, is strongly in
sympathy with the accused while admitting
their guilt These are the first cases OF which
we have any knowledge in this country in
which respectable people have ever openly
iustified frauds upon the balOt-bOx, upon the
ground that public justice and the public
welfare were promoted by them. There have
been frauds upon the balOt-box before. We
are unhappily too familiar with them in the
history of elections in large cities and the
low Wards where Democrats are in majority
and can perpetrate them with impuniy.
There is reason to believe, too, that they
have often been winked at by Democrats
who call themselves respectable, and
who in fact are free from personal partcipa-
ton in overt acts of fraud. There was one
notable instance of it in 1868 when persons
of such responsibility as HOratiO Seymour,
John T. Hoffman and Samuel j. Tilden were
cognizant of frauds which they did not re-
buke. But neither these gentlemen nor their
friends nor indeed the criminals themselves
who did She work, ever yentuTed to defend
the transactiOns though before election and
after they asserted rs yOcife!Ously aud per-
sistently as they ever did in South Carolina
that public justice and the public welfare
were promoted by the use Of such means.
Never before in the history OF free elections has
it been attempted to Justify fraud IN elections
by the necessities of the case. Violence has
sometimes been resOTted 10, as in San Fran
cisco and some other places, where the rule OF
rascals had been made self-perpotuating and
had become intolerable, but that had some
what of the dignity and deccncy of revolution.
To secure relief from msgovernment how
ever intolerable, by resort to fraud upon the
ballot box, is not diGnifed, manly OF decent.
IL is the method of sneaks and towards.
The ground upon which those who hold them
selves TO be "the best people OF South Caro-
lima defend the ballot-box, suffers is that they
could not bear the rule of ignorant and dis
honest men any longer, and that the only way
10 outvote them and take power out Of their
hands was by resort TO the means
they used-intimidatiop violence and fraud.
Their burdens. they claim, were greater than
they could bear, and they took the only

and obey its caucus, no matter what IL may
do. These men, fanatical SOuthernerS OF
Democrats, will vote for financial measures

know to be revolutionary and dangerous III
order to help forward financial schemes
Whether there are any hard-money Demo-
Gratis who will not thus surrender their con-
victions to their partisanship the event must
show.
The votes will prove that the Democratic
party is practically united in hostility to the
public credit and the resumption OF specie
payments, as the Republican party is prac-
tcally united in defence of honest money ana
public faith. Moreover. the votes Will put
the brand of hypocrisy and dishonor upon
those Democrats who have been pretending 10
resist the repudating spirit of their party, III
the hope that 1t might be kept in the back
ground until after the election. Finally, the
record will prove that the repudlaung ten
dency has its citadel and chief strength IN
the Solid South. AS long as an aggressive
and revolutionary South rules the Democratic
party, so long every increase OF Democratic
power must be dangerous to the pubic credlt
and the National prosperity.
