Figures That Speak.

Uncle Sam has $4OO, 600, 900 In
his strong box, and in this respect
is not hard up. But he owes 81,
S40,OOO,O 900, and is, therefore, 81,
44S,OOO,OOO behind the world. FIT.
ty.fye millions of people are his in
dOrsers, however, and his credit is
pretty good the world over. He
can get trusted for anything he
wants.
Uncle Sam looks pretty careful
ly after the welfare of his subjects
Who go down to the sea in ships.
He maintains more than 200 life
saving stations, the crews of which
saved mOr than 1000 lives during
the year, losing eleven.
Uncle Sam is now practically at
work upon eighty new structures,
scattered all over the country and
designed to cost from $4,000 to
s1,5OO,OOO.
Uncle Sam paid out during 1886
a million a week for interest on the
public debt. Even at that he got
eff easier than he has in any year
since 1868. In 1868 he paid out tor
this purpose S144, DOC, 900, a sum
nearly equal to his present total
expenses, including interest bur.
den was 500, OOO, 900.
Uncle Sans expenses during the
last year we're almost a million for
each business day. That this re-
public is not ungrateful is shown
by the fact that the pensions item

Il begins to look as ii the delin.
qnent newspaper Subscriber will
soon be a thing Of the past. The
new postal law makes the taking
OF a newspaper and n refusal to pay
for the same, theft, and any person
guilty OF such an action is liable to
criminal proceedings, the same as
If be had stolen goods to the
amount of the Prescription. Here
after it will nO$ be considered q
very shrewd thing to take a news
paper two or three years without
paying for it, then refuse to take IL
from the p~ost-ofice and have the
postmaster notify the Publisher
that you don't want 1t any more.
