TAX FACTS AND FIGURES FOR FREEMEN TO CONSIDER. t There are some Instructive figures In the newspapers showing that a republi can government has become an exceed ing luxury that the politicians have lost their heads.j, and it is a rivalry among the leaders in all parties to ex cel the others In voting away the mon eys of the people the toilers and the bread-winners. The figures that have been gathered from the records are in deed startling in their enormity and shows how the federal government has "oome a great abuser of the tax-pay- era. The Messenger has never "the nenny-wise course,' nor the ' government inefficient by of making reducing; supplies, means, i revenues. . But, ot? the otherhand. it has urged, insisted upon a careful, rigid i economy a reduction of high salaries-an avoidance of every expenditure not Im peratively needed. It has seen haw the honest, able presidents prior great war conducted the government, and how the congresses were guarded in expenditures and guided by a spir it' of conservatism and frugality. This is all gone, and unless the people take the matter in hand very seriously, it is .gone forever. Is there really any good, sound rea son why it should necessarily cost more in 1890-1900 to carry on this gove -" that it cost from 1850"-60, according to population? Why should it cost more in proportion to ' inhabitants now to make effective a bad government than it 'cost in the decades prior to the war 1 toc carry on a good and just and equal government? Is itnot that legislators and high officials were then more hon est, more capable, more economical, more genuinely republican than they are in this end of the century? Let us consult the figures referred to thjat appear in exchanges. .There has been vast, extraordinary giowth of population on these shores. In the beginning of this century, fruit ful, progressive, ingenious century the population of these United States the latter-day Yankee sjyle is to write "this'? United States, a consolidation and even the great sea authority Cap tain Mahan writes it as one, a nation. United States is etc. has increased from 5,308.483 to probably 70,000,000 now. The increase in cost has greatly out run the growth in jpopulation, and but really little just cause for it. Dema gogy, partisanship, extravagance, luuy, incapacity and dishonesty have com bined to bring about a vast Increase and to make a republican. form of gov ernment very oppressive and costly. In 1800 when the national population was 5,308,483 the cost of running the gov ernment was only $7,400,000,' or $1.39' ' per capita. At the present time, how eyer, with a population of 76,000,000, or therabouts, the government's expense ake over' $500,000,000 or $6 per capita. Study that. Look at the tremendous increase. Turn it over in whatever way you may, and you Can not find any sen sible, clear, satisfactory reason why it should cost the Americans $6 per head 1 to live under such a degased, unjust, corrupt government as the present one, vihile our fathers lived at a cost of lut $1.39 each when statesmen control j led and were guided by wisdom, integ rity and genuine republican principles We do not use "republican" to desig nate the present corrupt party of that name, but In contradistinction to a cen-t tpalized or monarchical government. All the attempts to justify the extrava gance, the oppressions, the outrages when critically examined have but lit tle real force. There may be necessar ily some increase per capita. But no such increase is Justifiable or wise or right.; It is extravagance, partisan aeal, ! wildcat legislation that have mainly caused the immense, the very amazing increase. '- The following table shows the grad ual increase of the country's population since j 1S00. together with the corres ponding increase of federal expendi tures: i L : Year 1800 . 1S10 . 1820 .. 1830 . 1840 . 1850 . 1860 . 1870 . . 1880 . 1890 .

It is even prophesied, and It looks hat way now, that In 1900, when the Census is to be taken, the average ex penditures will be still higher perhaps even $7.00 or $8.00 per capita. It has leaped from $1.90 to-' ..5.14 in thirty years. If trustworthy men had been in control since 1865, this vast expendi ture would never have been made, and he people today would not be ground jlown under the .federal taxes heaped upon them. A You wll read daily in partisan news papers that the revenues must be in creased to meet expenditures. That means higher taxes on the burden bearers hat the extravagance and in ustice may continue. You do not read that It ' is j proposed to rigidly razee the list, of; expenditures to cut down the $530,000000 a year to quite $300,000, D00. If Buchanan in 1860, could carry on this government efficiently at a cost of $85,000,000, why can It not he carried on efficiently now for $300,000,000 but three and one half times that sum? The population has but little more than doubled. It was 31,000,000 in 1860. The papers say this we do not know who first wrote and published It: "On examining the above table a lit tle more carefully it will be observe! that during the first sixty years of the ' government, when the country was un der democratic rule, the per capita ex pense was between $1 and $2. In 1870 however, th cost of running the gov ernment amounted to $4.25, while ever since that time it has been steadily increasing. ' How is the difference ex plained? Was the country less prosper ous under democratc. rule before the war than at the present time? Not by any means. The most prosperous era this country has ever known was -ing the period intervening between the administrations of Jefferson and Lin coln. Wthin that period its population was six times multiplied, while dur ing the thirty years which have follow ed it has only been doubled once. Since 1860 the expense of the government has increased by the issuing of federal pen sions and other obligations growing out of the late war, but aside from these Items of expense it is also true that at the present tlra there is less regard for the pockets of the people. This statement Is amphasiaed by the extrav agance of the present session of con gress, -which . has so far exceeded m former record."" .'tV y" The plea as to pensions amounts to Orant and Garfield (both elected republican presidents) agreed that under no consideration should the pensions ever , -r,-. .v.- .riiblican dema- 131.000.WU.

We-toad written the above, . based Upon The Messenger's Raleigh cor respondent's reports. That our readers may get a better understanding of the disgraceful, stupid proceedings we cull a, few gems from other reports, string ing them together as so many gutter ing' beads: "Let disorder reign supreme," said Lusk, who was in the chair. Cook said that the house was wrong in not sustaining thle speaker. (There were cries and hisses,, and Lusk said that he - would adjourn the house if such disgraceful conduct went on.) "It is a shame. Generations yet un born will curse this legislature. The white people have gone back almost to the wilds. of Africa." Crews, colored, of Granville, who was the author-of the Douglass resolution. ' "In just so far as the Anglo-Saxon race is superior to the African race, in just so far is the gentleman from Gran ville (the negro. Crews) superior to the gentleman from Lenoir" (Mr. Hauser, wnSte),said McCrary, of Davidson, yes terdayl ' . Mr. Sutton said: "The (hired railroad lobby has conspired to Mas men and control tbis legislature.-- The hour has come when the oompletest disgrace of our country ihtas come upon us.' . " "The man that hisses me la . low lived, contemptible sooundreV' eaid Hancock, after the (hissing' bad con tinued. "I.move we send for the state guard, said Schulken. "You can't get them unless you make an appropriation, said Cook. Schulken 'had voted against the state guard appropriation. "Where did you get tnat sandwich?" cried out Sutton, of New Hanover, to Chapln. . "I didn't get If from., the governor." replied Chapdn. .- Alexander said Chaptn had no prin ciple, and Chapin yelled out: "You are a damned liar." Quick as TigWtning, Dr. Alexander made a start for Ohapin, but was held by two members. As he struggled to get to Chapin, the doctor said: "You are a contemptible puppy."' "it was disgraceful n Chapln," said Hancock, "to thus Insult a man old enough to be his father." "I move that Mr. Dockery be made supertn'temdenit of tMs Sunday school," said rCrumpler, of Sampson. .; Cook, of Warren, rose and demanded an investigation to see - who was thus guilty of fraud'. - - -- - "What in the hell have you got to do with It?" yelled out Chapin, of Har nett, to Alexander, who Interrupted a speaker. "You are fooling wtuh the wrong chap now," said-Alexander. Dockery, in the midst of the row, be gan to sing "Amazing Grace, ; How Sweet the Sound." Look on this picture, fellow country men!

The preverbially fickle Liverpool market sustained its rep utation this morning and surprised every one here by reporting an advance of one and a half sixty-fourths in the price of futures.

Prices opened higher, advanced steadily and closed at the highest figure of the day. The trading, however was quiet and, in the main, of a local oharacter, but includ ed some buying for New Orleans and Liverpool- account. The receipts at the ports and interior towns were comparatively large, spot cotton in this country was quiet, and thejestimates for New Orleans and Houston Tomorrow were liberal.

March 8. in view or me r-aot that the. time allowed by the powers for Greece to withdraw her troops and ner fleet from Crete is on the eve or expira tion, and the ceritaitnty that the powers will be defied by KJing ueorge, some or Che foreign ministers here have recom mended that an the foreigners rn Athens leave the city whWe they may do so, in safey.
