ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS.

ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The Greensboro Record makes
the truthful c~laim.that in 1892, I'M
der a Democratic administration,
the expenditure of the Federal
Government amounted to $415,-
95S 1929. In 1905, the expendi-
lures amounted to $73o, III, 582,
an increase of $500, 768, 756. This
Is an increase of more than 70 per
cent. Where it cost the tax pay-
ers q dollar in 1892, it now costs
them 81. 70 to run the government.
In 1892 the total cost of the Fed
eral government per capita was
$50; while in 1905, it was more
than 1915, an increase of more
than 1926 per capita. This en-
tailed an average increase of more
than $11.8O in the annual ex-
penses of every family of five per-
sons. But this is not the worst.
This extravagant increase of ex-
penditures has necessitated the
maintenance of a tariff tax sys-
tenn which has bred trusts like
vermin, and these trusts, having
q monopoly of the home market
have raised prices here while low
ering them abroad. So, that it
costs every person, on an average
$50 a year more to live now than
it did in 1892, exclusive of the
$11.8O contributed to public ex-
penses; making $3.50 per capita
more now than in 1892; or $3.50
more for every family of five per-
sons. Ever since December, 1905,
there has been a. a result of this
wretched policy a succession OF
snaams In Wall street. In that
month, and in January, February,
March, April, May, June, July.
August, September and October,
1907, there have been reactlonary
movements. Practically we have
had q panic in finance for eleven
months, and the end is not yet.
This year-long panic has not
been the result of words spoken by
Roosevelt, or Hearst or Debs. II
has not been the result of social.
istic agitation. It has resulted
from wicked, dishonest, Infamous
legislation on our statute book,
put there by Republican Con-
crosses, and from the usurpations
of the executive, and of the judges
appointed by him to administer
these laws upon the principle that
the end justiies the means. Elk
penditures, taxation, the extor-
tions of the trusts, the usurpation
Ct the president. and the courts
are still increasing; and therefore,
discomfort is increasing.
If the disconnected will change
their party affiliations, and elect
q decent democrat to the presi-
dency, and decent democrats to
the National Senate and House of
Representatives, Expenditures and
taxation will be decreased; the
cost of living will be decreased !;
the power of trusts will be destroy
ed; the evil work of executive aud
the federal judges will be reme-
died; corporations will be brought
to book, and especially those
with limited incomes will find
their condition improving and
generally times will get better.

teal knowledge frequently caused his

piece of work of which he is particular

tive business.

THe CanfeRn.

The abolition of the canteen has acted
badly for the California Soldiers Home.
The attempt to have lunch counter
with soft drinks did not succeed, and
where the receipts of the Home store
formerly averaged from S1fO to sI25 a
day they fell during the past months to
less than $40 day. 1t is said that I'M
der the old system the veterans bought
tobacco and many articles of furnishing
goods at the Home store before they
began to buy beverages. Now they go
out into the town to get a glass of beer,
and the result is that they have neither
money nor tobacco and furnishing goods
when they get back to the Home.

REGAINS HIS HEARING.
United States Patents Granted on Invfs-
fbie and Successful Ear Drusn.

New York, May 10.-Mr. A. o. Leon
ard, a son of DR.. A. B. Leonard, whose
offices are at No. 1165 Broadway, Suite
$50, has invented simple yet effective
little ear drum resembling a miniature
megaphone. He had for over thirty
years a very complicated case of deaf
ness which specialists had failed to re-
iieve, yet so remarkably successful is
his invention that one could scarcely
believe him to be a deaf man.
Mr.. Leonard is now prepared to help
those who are afflicted with deafness
and will gladly give full information by
mail. He has made the price so low
that no deaf persons can afford to allow
this opportunity to pass.

This is an able and vigorous attack

protective system he says with clearuess
and force, and no matter how devoted
one may be as a supporter of that pol

those Of any other of the Presidents
advisers. The change made Saturday
by order Of Mr.. Roosevelt will necessi-
tate the creation and organization of
