"In free country men remedy
abuses by their votes" says the New
York Herald, ''and if they reason in
diligently they see that abuses grow
mainly because of bad laws, and that
the remedy lies not in enacting more
laws but in repeating injurious laws.
Whenever any part of the people
suffer real grievance, it will be found
that this is the consequence of law
interfering with their liberty of &C
tion in some needless way, and that
the remedy lies not in more law but
in striking off a law"

ReducinQ the National Debt.

The reduction of the debt OF the
United States is in no way checked
even by business depression and dis
tnrbance in the various branches of
industry. It is steadily decreasing,
while that of every other nation OF
the earth is on the increase. Most
countries are suffering from the same
industrial disorders, but they are in
capable of showing that vigor in the
payment of their obligations which
is displayed by the Uuited States in
the midst of disquiet among her
productive classes that never had a
previous parallel.
The most remarkable feature of
this gratifying circumstance is the
fact that during the ten months of
the present fiscal year there has been
an unusual increase in the reduction
as compared with the same time last
year. It has amounted to $87, $685.
698, while in the corresponding time
of the previous year it was S5O,075,-
229. The saving by this reduction
in interest alone will amount to near
" million Of dollars.
It used to be claimed that no other
party than the Republican was capa-
BILE of handling the finances of the
country, or had the ability or dispo-
sition to reduce the burden of debt.
When at the end of a fiscal year il
was announced that the indebtedness
had reduced so much, it was usually
done with q flourish of trumpets as
If, with all the resources of taxation.
it was an extraordinary thing to do
It was really not an achievement ovel
which there was occasion to make sc
nauch fuss. A Democratic admins
tration has shown that it can do no
| only quite as well, but in ten months
| can knock off over $37, OOO,O 900 NOR,
than the Republicans did in a CORES
| ponding length of time.
