A THOl'SANI) MILLIONS.
The expenditures of the last congress aggre
gate over one thousand millions of dollars.
Not only haj the treasury surplus been scatter
e3, but with increased taxes on most of the
necessaries of business and of life, and with a
forced loan of over fifty millions from a sacred
trust for the redemption of bank notes, the
treasury is now certain to present a deficit of
from fifty to eighty millions at the close of the
coming fiscal year,
Whsn it is considered that the cpenditu-e,
of the last congress exceed the entire expendi
tures of the fir6t half century of.the government
including the cost of of the second war with
Knghnd, and that the entire expenditures of
the nation when Mr Lincoln became president
did not exceed sixty millions a year, or one
bundled and twenty millions by each congress,
the full measure of the bewildering profligacy
of the last congress may be appreciated'
Think of a single congress at the close of a
century of free government expending more
than the entire public expenditure during the
first half of the century, including the excep
tional cost of a protracted war iih Englandi
But the last congress was not content with
the expenditure of a thousand millions. In
adcition to that appalling wulc of public
money, it loaded the nation with another thous
and millions of debt that must be paid in shape
of future pensions, subsidies, bounties, etc.
The true record of the last congress is, there
fore, one thousand millions actnally appropri
ated for immediate expenditure and another
thousand millions of debt loaded upon future
coagresses in addition to the legitimate expen
ses of the government.
The first republican congress under president
Lincoln had little over one hundred miliions of
revenue exclusive of loans or to be precise(
the revenue was $41,476,299 in 1S61 and $51
919.261 in 1S62 and the entire expenditure of
l$6l, the first year of Lincoln's presidency
including interest on public debt, was, In exact
figures$66,65o,2i3. The last republican con
gress, in lime of peace, has expended over
one thousand millions and added a thousand
millions more to the ordinary expenditures of
the future. With such a record of jobbing
and profligacy, it would seem reasonable to
assume that the nation ka. had the last repub
lican congress of our history. Philadelphia

SAME OLD MISTAKE.
The new tariff went Into operation on
April 1st, It was a bright day here. We
got up early to look for "disasters dire"an(J
'horrora innumerable," but were disap
pointed. The morning looked just like
yesterday, only not quite to cold. It was
colder for McKinley last fall. It was a
good day for gardening but we could see
no politics in it. Grant's Pass Courier
Here Is an effort to defend "protection
Ism" as expounded by McKinley. It is not
6trange that every such effort should be
founded on a fallacy or false assumption of
some kind. Tne truth is that the new
tariff went into effect the 6th day of last
October followed by a remarkably cold
wave In November.
THE WORLD'S POPULATION.
Few are aware of the vast number of
people that can be placed on a small tract
of ground. Vhen we speak of millions of
men we are apt to picture to ourselves an
almost boundless mass of humanity; yet a
million of people, standing closely togoth
er, each not occupying more than four
square feet, could be placed on a patch but
little more than a third of a mile square.
A square mile will accommodate 7,965,000.
At that rate the whole population of the
United States would hardly cover three
miles square, and the whole population of
the world, could stand on two townships!

The republican journals are face to f.cc
with a divided duty. If they attempt to
show that the McKinley tariff has ad
vanced prices, and so 'protected" Ameri
can manufacturers, the consumers are up
in arms. If, on tne contrary, they sho.v
ihut prices are lower than before the pas
sage of the act, the manufacturers will in
sist they have been "taken in and done
for,' and may here after rUuse to furnish
the sinews of war.
