Opening the Floodgates.
From the New York World.

From the New Ork W oTlu-
In all of President McKinley's 25,OO0
words there was not one in favor of economy
in public expenditures. On the contrary, he
argued in behalf of ship subsidy which
would add So, 900, 600 to the public burdens to
start with, and recommended other schemes
that would cost tens of millions more.
The startling fact that we had "bilion
dollar Congress once served to turn the Re
publicans out of power. But this stupendous
sum total has increased quarter. The
Fifty-sixth will be billion and quarter
Congress. The estimates of the Secretary of
the Treasury for the next fiscal year are
$63l ,0Sl, 994-and this will surely be sex
panded" before Congress shall get through
with it.
In addition to So. 900, 600 for ship subsidies,
bill has been introduced by Senator Lodge
appropriating Sll 200, 600 for a Pacific cable
"a mere incident of imperialism. And, ap-
parently alarmed by a slight decrease IN the
number of pensioners thirty-four years after
the close of the war, Senator Collum has in
troduced bill for removing the disabilities
of soldiers who received d dishonorable dis
charge or who deserted He says 'the time
has arrived when the Government can be
magnammous and forgive any little indiscre-
ton ID of the soldiers of the Civil War.
The frauds in the pension roll already make It
ANYTHING but what it should be-a roll of honor
but when we begin pensioning deserters
equally with faithful soldiers what will II de-
serve to be called
A fictitious anticipated surplus, due to per
petuated war taxes and sudden wave OF
prosperity. has contributed 10 open the hcod-
gates of extravagence in Congress, and no ct
fort is apparently to be made to shut them.
The Democratic advocate., 1899-12-16
Government Finances.

On the fourth page of this issue will be found
an article on the receipts and expenditures of
the United States government. They are
shown in a very concise form, and are easily
understood. For the fiscal year ended June
30, 1899, the total expenditures we're over
seven hundred millions of dollars, while the
receipts we're about six hundred and ten mil
lions, leaving a deficiency of eighty nine mil
lions. And this deficiency occurred in spite
of the heavy taxation imposed by the Dlngley
tax law-the tax on sugar, wool, blankets,
and all necessities; the tax on spirits, tobacco,
medicine, matches, checks, mortgages, deeds,
&c. In spite of this the expenditures OF tn e
government last year were eighty-mne mil
lions greater than the receipts from all sources.
For this year the appropriations are less,
being about six hundred millions. The esu-
mates receipts are some thirty millions great
er, and the treasury officials figure out sur
plus by next June OF some forty millions OF
dollars. While the appropriations by Con-
gress for this year are less than last year, 1t is
not apparent that the expenses are less. The
war in the PHILIPPINES is more expensive this
wear than last, for the army there is nearly
double what it was, and deaths by disease and
bullets are continually increasing the pension
list. At home the expenses are no less, and
it is very probable that the expenditures will
exceed those of last year. As to the receipts
of the government, they may be more or less
than last year.
For the fiscal year ending in June, 1901,
the receipts of the government are estimated
at six hundred and sixly-seven millions, and
the expenditures at six hundred and eighty
five millions, leaving deficit of eighteen
millions, About this there is some guess
work.
A presidential election is near at hand and
the Mckinley Administration is making as
good financial exhibit as the figures will
admit. 1t is possible that some juggling OF
figures has been done, as has been done by
Republican treasury officials before. One
suspicious circumstance Is that the figures for
this year. to June 80, 1900, should show a
surplus in the treasury of forty millions of
dollars, while there was a deficit last year OF
eight-nine millions aud there is to be a deficit
of eighteen millions in the year after the pres
idential election.
The last year of Buchanan administration
the total expenditures were about sixty mil
lions of dollars. There has been great IN
crease in population since then and much
progress in trade, manufactures, commerce
and agriculture, but not enough 70 warrant
the expenditure of nearly twelve times as
much money.
When the appropriations of the Fifty first
Congress reached one billion Of doilars--hve
hundred millions year-ihe country was ap-
palled and drove the Republicans from power
in the House of Representatives. What will
be thought of an expenditure Of one-third
more money, and for war that a majority Of
the people do not endorse?

Hanover Bone and Fertilizer Company
Branching Out.


From the Hanover, Pa, Record. Dec. u,
The stockholders of the Hanover Bone and
Fertilizer Company held meeting yesterday
afternoon in the office of J. Wesley Myers,
Baltimore street. It is the intention of the
Company to enlarge their business for the
purpose of protecting the farmers against the
fertilizer trust which has been recently formed
by most of the large fertilizer firms through
out the country. 1t is the purpose OF the
company to incorporate their present factory
with capital stock of $35, 5000, SIS, 200 OF
which will be offered farmers or consumers.
Ten shares will be the maximum allowed
each farmer or consumer. The par value OF
each share will be $40. 1t is the object OF
the new corporation to make extensive I'M
provements to their present plant for the pur-
pose of increasing their capacity to 1900 tons
per year. From what we can learn we have
every reason to believe that the stock will be
a paying investment, and the idea of getting
the consumer directly interested in the man
ufacture of what seems essential to the best
interests of the farmer move in the right
direction, and one which will be the means
offurnishing employment to a number of men,
The prime movers in this proposed improve
ment are: J. Wesley Myers and George ID.
Gitt, of Hanover; S. L. Johns, of McSher
rvstown; VIM. B. Thomas, of Westminster
and R. Fl. Pollack, of Baltimore.

public in South Africa in their war against
British oppression have been introduced into
both houses OF Congress. The Senate reso.
luton was presented BY Senator Mason, Re

it on Monday. Mason was opposed TO The
war on Spain and the ratification Of the treaty
of peace. He was right in opposing the
Spanish war and the annexation Of foreign
territory, bu, the passing Of his resolution Of
sympathy with the Boers would be meddling
with the affairs Of other peoples as much as
