The last Treasury debt statement show
ed an apparent increase In the debt of
s6.0.6,l72. This has been taken up by
every Democratic paper in the country to
prove that President Harrison's Admins
tration WAS wasting the public money In
riotous appropriations. IL Is stupid cry.
The facts are the best answer to it.
First as to the debt. The Democratic
papers have asserted, and we doubt not
many well-meaning people have believed
them. that this ''inerease" proved that so
much money was going for Government
outlay that none WAS left for the payment
OF the debt. As matter Of fact the
bonds bought were twice as large in Au
gust last Ms in anv August under Presi-
dent Cleveland. Here are the figures for
the last i've years of the debt retired ia
August, taking the difference between the
bonded debt outstanding at the beginning
and end Of August for i've years past;
