The extravagance of the United States government is now old, well worn theme. The trend is all the time towards heavier burdens on people, burden bearer, and toilers. The new river and harbor bill reaches the great sum of over which is but under total of the Buchanan for all purposes in 1860. A million of dollars is but a ex- as it appeared to Na- Macon and other economists in past. This new congress actually passed a larger hill of expenditure was found in the bill defeated in the last con- which was the moat waste- and foolhardy of all other congresses. It is pleasant to know that while the extravagance rages and public moneys are voted away as it they grew on trees that was not forgotten. It gets over 60,000.- little but better than none. A half loaf is better than no bread. If democrats in the congress favor republican extravagance t hey will all be deprived of campaign Messenger. The Way to Victory. Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson in a strong letter printed in The New I York Journal, March points way to a new Democratic victory by recalling how all the later triumphs of the party have won. He cites the platform of 1876 as a suitable model to build upon in We denounce present tariff levied upon nearly four thousand articles as a masterpiece of inequality and false It yields a not a yearly rising, It has many industries to subsidize a few.
