kjoh Cost Of Government,

Democrats in control of congress
who are preparing to spend almost
81. .10O, ,0OO.00 a year should read the
report of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston.
The total value of the principal
crops OF the United States for 1913
was about $4,000. 100000 More than
one-fifth OF this goes for the national
government alone, to say nothing Of
the states and municipalities
The corn crop. with value OF ST.
500. 100000. was the only one that ex-
ceeded the national expenditure. The
cost of government Is greater than the
combined value of the wheat, oat and
barley crops. 1t is greater than the
combined value of the hay and pota-
to crops. 1t is greater than the COM
bined value Of the cotton. tobacco
and rice crops.
One reason why the cost of living IL
high is found In the fact that the cost
of government Is high.-New York

How do these supporters Of the ad-
ministration know all this? Where
ia their proof? How do they deduce
ton returns? What foundation have
they for their assertions?
The record tells a different story.
1t shows no such conditions. On the
contrary, the statistics furnish abun-
dant evidence that the party In power

That is the lesson OF the returns
from Michigan last spring and from
New Jersey, Massachusetts,. New

where more or less extensive tests of
public sentiment were made at the
polls i'm November. 1t Is the only
reasonable conclusion to be drawn
from the elections In Chicago and St.
Louis and from many other tests Of
the position of the Democratic party
in the estimation OF the public.
1t is a commonplace of politics that
there Is much increased activity and
confidence in the Republican party. in
many parts Of the country. and that a
corresponding diminution of Demo
cratic hopes Is clearly discerned by
those who watch the currents Of pub
lie life and popular sentiment.
In short, the pretense that the Will

pie and broken down effective opposi-
ton is transparently insincere. Those
who understand the conditions exist
