Voting Away the People's Money. 
The extravagance of the United

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.
