Where does the burden fall? Upon
our own people, and hardest upon our
own people. where they are least able
to bear it. The Congress Of the United
States Is the most cXtraynsant le@isla-
tive body the world over. The admin
stratiun of public affairs in the United
States is more reckless of expenditure.
less conservative and though;ful, than
any administration the world over.
The people are taxed to death for tho
purpose of wild expenditure of money,
ranging from the price OF the state
Sherman wants purchased. to the
price OF the canal that Morgan would
have cons ructea.
