fact that Providence has special eye
on, and offers a particular protection
to the citizens of this city. The state
ment has again been verified. The
old Methodist church, erected here in
1854, is being torn down. in order to
give place to a magnificent structure

rotted and crumbled that nothing but
an act of providence. it seemed, could
keep the building together. 1t would

the Methodist congregation may well
thank the good Providence that made
DR.. Goodwin hurry things.

The true policy and the manifest
purpose of the Democrats are so clear,
that no genius for laundering can
lead them to commit the final and
monumental blunder of nominating
candidate who would divide their
own party and consolidate its oppO-
nents. The Democrats of other
states quite enjoy the spectacle OF
seeing Gov. Butler worry the Repub-
licans of Massachusetts, but they do
not see in his reputation or record
anything to commend him as the
national candidate of their party"

interest on the public debt. The sur
plus, however, to go toward the pay
ment of the debt, above all the outlay,
is $l20,OO0,0O0. At this rate in
less than ten years there will
be no public debt. The ordina-
ry charge for pensions will within
that period be reduced in the course
OF nature. and by the liquidation of
arrears to some $30OO0OO0 annually.
The extent to which the ordinary ex-
penditures of the government will be
reduced when the debt Is paid and
the pension charge diminished will
appear from the estimates of Mr..
Folger of the expenses of the several
departments for 1884, emitting PEN

liquidated, as it promises to be within
ten or twelve years, at the present
rate of payment. will be in round
numbers 1857 ,0OOO0o. This sum the
internal revenue from wines and
liquors and tobacco will nearly
pay. Does anybody doubt that
the people will insist upon con-
tinuing this portion of the inter-
nal revenue taxation? The income
from the sale of public lands and
from miscellaneous sources added to
the receipts from internal revenue
will meet all he requirements of the
government. What then will be the
excuse for high tariff or any tariff
except for protection pure and simple,
and what will be done with the money
when it comes into the treasury
This is forecast of only ten or twelve
years, a period so short in the history
of economical events that prudent
Legislators cannot maintain an exist
ing revenue system or project new
one which is not adapted to a future
far beyond it. A political party
which shuts its eyes to questions so
pregnant with interest, and which
will SO early press for a solution, is
too timid, or insincere or incapable to
be entrusted with the government of
100000 of people.
