NATIONAL "PLUNGLNG."

One CT the most alarming Developments
Of the time Is the airy iiatifference with
witch this leaders In the administration
poalcics are regarding this rapid growth and
tremendous proportions OF The financial
burdens CT the country, as typiiied In our
annual expenditures on government &C
count.
The New York World recently called at
tention to the fact that Mr. Dingley, whose
province 1t is In the house to make both
ends OF the governmental economy meet,
lightly discusses the increase In the pen
son expenses: the increase In expense
necessarily anvolved In our army estimates.
now that we must keep fcalr times as many
soldiers In the field as before; the increase
in expense involved in sending our soldiers
and their supplies to the uttermost parts
OF the earth. insteaB OF camping them in
| America. and the enormous increase OF ex-
peuse for naval construction and mainte-
nance rendered necessary by our acquisi-
tion of territory difficult to defend.
MIR. Dlngley, however. is not alone in
this reckless treatment of the serious prob.
lem OF public finances While deficits are
| growing oven under war taxes huge sums
ara being appropriated by congress for va
r-ous purposes, without discussion or divi-
! sion arnong congressman. Tire most impe-
Iial scheiues are launched without seem
lngly a thought of the future. We are act
ing as II we cared not for popular burdens
and were utterly calous as to conse-
uuences.
| AZ the New York paper remarks, the
facts are that tho country is now beginning
TO pay its expenses out OF the proceeds OF
bond issues anti not out of tho revenues;
that under present taxation, even. II will
mot DO able to meet ITS bills and that ad-
ditisnal taxes will need to be imposed or
We shall have to keep on borrowing, until
we pile up debt equal to those OF England
and other European nations
When will the public take the alarm?

| suggests, "laying up wrath against the day
