Mr.. Davis's Letter.

The letter Of Hon. Henry G. Davis,
Democratic candidate for v!cc-president,
which was given to the public yesterday,
Is, perhaps, the most practical Of all the
letters of acceptance from the several
candidates Mr.. Davis is a practical man.
and he addresses himself3to the practi-
cal issues OF the campaign. Especially
does he refer to the enormous expendi-
lures Of government under Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration I'm order to show
the rapid growth Of the cost Of govern
ment 1t is only necessary says he. ITO
give tho total expenditures in the last
fiscal year Of the following administers
items: Buchanan. 1850, $1,000, 600; per cap
tia, 500. Cleveland. 1882, Ss45 600 900: per
capita, s52a Roosevelt, 1864 $3.50 COZ, 900;
per capita, S7.14."
1t may be contended that the govern
rnent is rich, and is ableito bear these
expenses, but Mr.. Davis reminds the tax
payers that the revenues fell short dur
in the first sixty days of this fiscal year
the expenditures exceeded the receipts
by 100000. and that this rate Of
excess should continue, the deficit for
the present fiscal year would be in the
neighborhood OF $4,000 600. But even II
there should be no deficit the eXtrava-
gance OF this Republican administration
is q menace and it Is time for Demo-
Gratis to put check to it.afor such ex-
travagance IL unchecked is bound to
breed arrogance in high places and cor
ruption.
1t. may be contendcd also that the
money 10 support the Federal govern
ment Is derived by indirect taxation.
and that the people do not feel 1t. But
no matter how derived. the people pay
the tax, and the worst part Of it is
that through the tariff they pay tax
not only TO the government hut a greater
+ax to the protected manufacturers. In
| this way have the trusts been held up
| and Mr. Davis and Judge Parker enph;.-
size the fact that in order to curb and
control the trusts there must be
| reform of the tariff.
Mr.. Davis makes fine point against
impe rialism. He declares that the effect
| OF the imperiallstic tendency of the Re
publican party upon our foreign affairs
Is in opposition to the teachings of The
founders OF the republic. and that the
| tolicy OF imperialism Is always dangerous
to liberty. Its powers arc first exer-
cised In far off territory. and on con-
| quercd people, he adds but once adopt
ed for acquired and distant possessions.
1t becomes sooner or later the rule OF
the home government" We have not
seen this self-evident proposition better
stated, We cannot have one policy for
our colonists and another policy for gu,
hcme people We cannot practice I'M
pcrinlsm abroad and Democracy at home
II We practice Imperialism abroad soone,
or later 1t will DO practiccd at home.
Mr.. Davis says at the outset that tht
times are propitous for the relnstate
ment OF the Democratic party IN con
troll of the government and he make,

changes at The close. opening quotations
showed as rule small net advances. but IN 1he
greater part Of the session the movement OF
,,rires exhibited great irregularity. with small
final gains predominating. Consohaated Gas
naturally was strong on buying, induced by the
favorable action OF the Mayor on the Remsen
Gas bill while an advance of 1 point in Viz

r,laiued bv the news that the companys adj

O5O in 1902 The increase in cash was due TO the
heavy receipts of currency from the interior and
the gain by the banks IN their operations with
the Sub-Treasury. Loans and deposits made
new high records but il should be noted that the
cash held by the banks shows an increase as
compared with the corresponding time in 1908
