one hall the amount expended for pen-
sions alone in 1892 Tho national ex-
pendltures Of S77, 000, 000iti 1860 have
grown To more than $425, 900, 600 for
iS92. According to the report OF the
secretary OF the treasury we shall
touch the high.water mark Of national
obligationsin 1893, with estimated OK
penditures at something over $46l, 900.
900 about 81, 900, 900 less than the esti-
Z mated appropriations for the fiscal year
ending june 80, 1894. AS we get
further from the war period our in
debtedness must grow less. II should,
naturally aud logically. Tho cranks
and theorists who want to turn the
public treasury into a buoket-shop.
must forsooth, be disappointed; but ii
the government were to dipense soup
and tlannels, demogogues would still
bafound here and there running on a
