A Spendihriit Nation

In the period of eight. years, begin
ming with 1881 and ending with 1888,
including the administration of Arthur
and the first administration of Cleve-
land, Il period of peace, prosperity and
the fullness of national life, the aver
age yearly expenditures of the Federal
Government were 1858, $40, 400.
In the corresponding period, ten
years later, beginning with 1891 and
ending with 1893, covering part of the
administrations of Harrison, Cleveland
of q foreign war, the average yearly
and Mckinley, and including one year
expenditure was $372, AS, 1922.
Now for the eight-year period, be-
ginning with 1901 and ending with
1908, period coinciding almost ex
actly with the full term of Mr.. Roose-
velt's dominating influence in Federal
affairs. For these eight years the aver
age annual expenditure of the Federal
Government was 1855, sci, $40.
In ten years an increase of about so
per cent. in the cost of running this
government. in twenty years the annual
cost more than doubled-an increase of
10 per cent.

CAUSE OF SILVER
YET CONSIDERED

Going back to the silver question
which so greatly occupied the atten-
ton of the people of the United States
:. few years ago, the Rocky Mountain
News of Denver makes the following
observations:
Again the world is ringing with the
cause of silver. Never before have the
prospects been SO bright of interesting
the entire world in the necessity of
silver money. Never before have the
great financial interests understood
so clearly the meaning of IL gold
standard.
Nov that the Asiatics have found it
impossible to, buy our exports on gold
basis, the pocketbook of the nation is
touched, and men like j. J. Hill are
willing to heed the silver plea. On the
other hand. the greatest financial com
iination in the country, disregarding
The menace of the times, has de-
Iermined to eliminate the silver dollar
and the greenbaci1s from the currency.
They have not yet learned the lesson
which seems to be impressing its
meaning upon Hill For years he has
been trying TO build up trade with the
Orient, and now he finds himself con-
frOnted by absolute failure.
I'm his alarm he does not know which
way to turn. Tied hand and foot to
Wall street, he is impelle,I to side with
the interests that seek to enlarge their
Il )minion over the nations money. He
depends on Wall street TO finance his
immense railway operations and. if
necessary. he can entirely dispense with
the Oriental trade. His peculiar posi-
ton, however. has enabled him to see
both sides of the question, and in spite
of his affiliations with the money power,
he has raised his strong voice in behalf
nf silver. Coming from such Il man,
oven II faint-hcartcd pie, for the white
metal has ten fold more significance
;han the plea OF the consistent silver
advocate.
Hill has Just given qualified in
dorscmcnt to a league formed in Canada
- urge the rropcning of the India
mints and to restore silver prices by
means of compact between the British
empire and the United States
The silver problem is full of diff
i"ulticS, says the worried Mr.. Hill I
wish it were possible to ignore it. But
our conSultS i'm Asia warn us that at
the present rate of silver exchange Asia
has ceased to import our wheat or flour
or lumber; that the Shanghai merchant
who, eighteen months ago, bought the
Vcreign or five dollars gold with five
Iels, must now pay nearly eight tacls
The result i disaster: he no longer
buys
Such is tn" ctl ct of Our e. ,stlv cold
standard For u few years after the
discovery of gold in the Klondil1c the
cause of bimctalliSm wancd because it
seemed as if the enormous quantities of
gold flowing from Alaska and Colorado
would satisfy the worlds demands. 1t
has been stated frcIfntly of late that
more gold has been produced in the last
wenty years than in all the centuries
before. And yet with this vast gold
production, the money situation has
been rapidly rcverting to the acute
'tage that existed in the sos and early
