Forty Years Ago.
Nv Henry Gassaway Davis.

BY Henry Gassaway Davis
I'm his. letter of acceptance, Mr. Da-
Wis bewails the fact that the per cap
tia cost of administering the govern
ment has increased since the days of
Buchanan, when it was $2.01.)
100000 is
I've wandered to the subject, John
that note you sent to me.
Advising me that have been put up
for our V. p
And o, can't help thinking, John.
how times are changing SO,
It costs us more to run things than
some forty years ago
In honest old Buchanan's days, before
the civil war,
We didn't have the money, nor SO
much to spend it for
Two dollars and penny was the av-
erage, you know;
Expenses have gone up a heap since
forty years ago
They say the country's grown in
wealth and territory too.
But have been so busy, John, these
facts never knew;
When this was but little land, ex-
Denses were quite low
Assessments We're not very high,
some forty years ago.
In fact. it's more than forty years, as
sure as you're alive;
Now, since 1 come to think OF it, the
lapse is forty-five;
IN 80 Buchanan was the boss of all
the show
II might have been candidate,
some forty years ago)
It's strange the country won't stand
still, that it will spread and
spread
Why. I remember when it crossed
the Mississippi's bed
And when we quelled the red man
with his arrow and his bow
Alas. but times have changed, dear
John, since forty years ago!
Sometimes. dear John, when OBJ
serve that soreness in my
neck.
And hear the frantic calls that ask
another check,
wish I'd run for Office in the olden.
golden glow,
For it was vastly cheaper, John, some
forty years ago.
To-day they say the railroads run to
almost every town,
They span the land from sea to sea,
crosswise and up and down.
And where was once a Wilderness the
busy Whistles blow
That's why expenses have increased
since forty years ago.
They tell me we have islands now,
all scattered through the
All, John, the times to-day amt like
the times that used to be.
They say that folks use sulky plows
where once they used hoe
These things make bills much high
er, John, than forty years
ago.
We didn't have no steamboats, then
not like these nowadays
No steel and iron liners, nor no
cruisers anyways
can't remember everything, but,
John, l know
The government costs more than it
did forty years ago.
They say that we have telephones,
electric lights, and all,
And trolley cars, and miles and miles
of harvest every fall.
But notice the expenses, John They
worry me, and so.

forty years ago.
