WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1897. j "EXPENDITURES AND INCOME. The exhibit of the condition of the United States treasury, after Cleve lad's very unfortuate four years of financiering, by the new treasurer, ls not new - but still Instructive, as it serves as an unpleasant reminder. The expenses are far ahead of the revenue. -But not a word is said, not a hint is . Riven that the best w y to rectify rn's ctaief and equalize government opera tions, is by a system, altogether new since the war, of severe 'economy, a thorough overhauling and reduction of expenditures. No party has la right to expect to spend or to plan to spend over a billion dollars in two 'years. It isf robbery, and oppression. It jis most reckless and foolish. With the people groaning all over the land under the heavy burdens to talk about more and higher taxes is wrong, and to rdo it would be rascally and infamous. But it is all expenditure now and'no cur tailment. We verily believe that any capable, faithful,, resolute statesman of fair ability and experience - without detriment to the country coufd razee . expenditures $100,000,000 a - year. We put it small. It could be reduced to $350,000,000, and then have the burdentwo or three times heavier - according to population than it waa under. Presi dent Buchanan, a real democrat, In 1860. But politicians have ceased to look to public economy. All they are concerned in Is; expending the people's money and higher taxes tol meet their extravagance and folly and madness. It is a great shame and a great slam to. the -country! and yet the sovereign people remain silent, engage in faction al fights, and the robbery and waste continue. . . ' In three years and eight months un . der "the only great Cleveland" the shortage' is $186,061,580, a mere baga telle . vou see. Buchanan did not re quire much more than the actual deficit to carry on the entire opperations of the government for three years, when the population was 31,000,000. The in crease alone in the interest of ;he pub lic debt under Cleveland is $11,193,414. Scrutinize the figures. When the government had a great revenue j of $425,868,260.22, the expenditures outran it by nearly $10,000,000. Another year the receipts ' were very great, mount ing to the vast sum --of $461,716,561.94. And yet with that huge resource it was hardly enough for extravagance. But the next year ending 3Qth June 1894 the expenditures were $69,803,260.58 above receipts. That meant bankrupt cy, the fruit of incapacity. Buchanan could carry on the government now, at not a greater expenditure than $200, 000,000 annually with a faithful, eco nomical congress to co-operate. . : The next year . came another deficit of $42,805,223.18. Is 4t a wonder that with such outlay and income ;that the government "busted," and went to bor rowing by the ; hundred millions "of bankers? Cleveland borrowed ,$262,315, 400 to suppliment-iiis folly and infidel ity. For the last fiscal year the old bad game o'f excess, of extravagance, of oppression went on, and with the re sult of another deficit of over ,$25,000,000. Is there betterment? Is the "pros- ; perity" to the country promised by, demagogues in sight? Are thie expen ditures still outstriding the revenues of the government? It is the same, -old, bad story of bad economy and finan ciering. For the first, half of the pres 'ent fiscal year beginning fwith, 1st July 1896, the excess of expenditures has ben nearly $38,000,000. For; January and February this year the deficit is over $10,000,000. How does McKinley proposef.to rem edy the evil? A prudent man dealing with his own private affairs would say let us cut down all expenditures where ever possible. But no such idea enters into the brain of a politician.! It is a foregone conclusion with them; that the old, vile extravagance and excess must continue. So it is simply to make tax es higher, increase -thereby "the bur dens of the toilers and make fprosper-' ity possible by th? artificial and vain way of greater taxation. So there is a new tariff 'tax laid by the economic charlatans and the money to j be rais ed to meet extravagant and wasteful and unwise . expenditures must come out of the pockets of a people already bearingfSnore than is tolerable or right or honest, j . . f The. new plan under protectionist Mc Kinley is to raise by the tariff ax sys tem some $75,000,000 more from; the peo ple, jf He and his remorseless robber gang propose to get nearly $22,000,000 by taxing the little sugar in every poor man's cup of coffee or tea.. It Is ajnis erable system that allows indefinite ex penditures and then to meet them to re sort to high robber taxation. jNo man ever lived who'could get ourivote or approval who favored such a 'rascally plan of "raising the wind." There is a tax now on sugar, but the. plan is to so increase it as to raise $22,000,000 ad ditional; Every time you sip your breakfast drink you are paying a tax to incompetence, stupidity and immor ality. .

The, bad legislation of the combine is extensive and the blundering part of it abounding. Even the governor blun dered in his drawing of the act (as to the asylums.

The Messenger from the first Intima km that the etate .eleemosynary Insti tutions would be converted Into re wards for partisans nd prostftuted hereby tobase end mdefensfble ends. began to condemn It In no mincing or measured terms. It to a very great ana Infamous inlaurty that has been at tempted and In part consummated. But there may .be yet some redress found by an appeal to the higher court. We trust It will deal fairly end Justly -with the question and-right a great wrong If law and Justice demand it. The thing done by the radicals is one of ruelty and Infamy and Injustice, and the state press should be unspairtng in Its con demnation of a. most wicked and in human assault upon the helpless" vic tims for whom North Carolina has been nobly providing; and protecting. X strong, appropriate editorial In The Raleigh News and Observer open with this: ' . . " "The declared .purpose of the domi nant party In such legislation was in slang phraseology, to get pte." No one acquainted: with the management of our hospitals for the Irsane can truth fully say that the motive was patriotic, and the purpose in the Interest -of those for whom these Institutions were'' crea ted. The concensus of enlightened pub lic opinion is so opposed to such legis lation, that In many states of our own country, in Canada, end on the conti nent the management of the liospdtals for the Insane Is under civil law. It is not" necessary to offer an. argument in support of this policy to any well In formed and discriminating mind. Not only is such legislation damaging to these institutions, placing them as it does, in the arena of political conten tion, but It ia exceedingly foolish.". NO LEADERSHIP. Somebondy up about Charlotte, as given In The Observer, mentioned The Messenger as one of the four' papers that sought to be the leader .of the dem ocratic party in North Carolina. That la news j in this office, and is another example of "going from home to get home news." The Messenger is a dem ocrat. It, is too faithful to democratic fundamentals and to the principles em bodied In democratic law to either fol low politicians or to seek to lead them and the people. It cherishes no as pirations and coddles no plans for leadership. It is absolutely too .honest and independent! to : either play the sycophant or the slave of party. It stands for principles and the right as far as It understands them. It does, not put Its faith 'in princes or politicians. in office-holders or office-seekers. It is tied to apron-strings of no -faction or clique, to no aspiring demagogue or self seeker. It is oh the side of the people. The Messenger has always been so plain spoken all along and has so often criticized politicians of. its own party senators, governors, legislators and so on that it has been something of a thorn in the sides of some of the un worthy, the unfaithful. It has not in dulged Jn flattery of officials and has never "bent the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning." The Messenger advocates good morals, true religion and piety, the best liter ature, higher education, better and broader common schools; public econ-, omy, equal and honest government, better laws, more protection to propei -ty, to life, to liberty of the freeman. It is no seeker of power. There Hs not a man connected with - the office who ever held office or sought office. As to leadership count it out. It will strive to serve the people faithfully and well. It will continue a true democratic sen tinel on the watch-towers as It has been, opposing all trading with, dema gogues and teat-suckers, all lowering of the tone, character and dignity of the party for temporary gain, and for maintaining the organization and basic principles of the old democracy Intact, making no concessions in no way lowering the crest of the party, but ever remaining "faithful in the. midst of the faithless," unseduced, unawed. unmoved. - - 1 LOW PRICES AND HIGH TAXES. There are politicians' and plutocrats who insist that a fall in prices of pro ducts! in this country is a genuine blessing. They are as Wise and patriotic as that other class who think that a rise in taxes Is also a national bless ing. We believe the whole set are either fools or knaves in finance and political economy. One northern fraud who-is rich is candid if otherwise to be censured. The Philadelphia Ameri can, the able republican weekly, re-j ferring to the new secretary of the treasury, says: "He looks through the colored glasses of the owner of debts. With Mr. Cur rie, he says: I think a fall in prices no. evil; a fall in prices benefits me. And there the matter ends. The country is to be run in the interest of the owners of debts'; the rights of the producing classes, the rights of men to the en Joyment of the fruits of their toil are to .be ignored; the owner of debts is to wax rich on the Impoverishment of the owner of property. That is what Mr. Gage's appointment to the guid ance over our finances means; that is what Mr. McKinley'e policy is to be." . v Do the people the- great masses of our burdened 'bearers and bread-winners desire or need such a policy, the workings of such theory, the con summation of such a system? , The . farmers of our vast country ev erywhere are sufferin'g greatly because of falling, of very low prices. They are victime, of bad, Insufferable, 5nexcusa ble bad legislation, and McKinley will do his best probably to make it worse. The ; American, of Philadelphia, is correct surely in saying that "unre quited toil is the mother of poverty." There is not the shadow of a doubt as to the correctness of this statement. If the farmers -for the last" five years had received for their crops the prices of twenty or thirty years ago they would be extremely prosperous and with great bank deposits and large In vestments. The American says: "In 1875, our farmers thud ttvatioTi and harvested cereal crops acres; in 18S, they har vested crops off 149,349,000 acres. In 1875, the value of the cereal mm. our farmers was the equivalent of $1,- uou,in,ua3 in goiar in 1896, he value was but $972,069,000. Thus., though our farmers had under cultivation in 1896 more than 60,000,000 acres beyond the acres ge under cultivation (m 1875, the value cf their crops -was nearly $60. 000,000 less." Great sections of a country reduced to primitive barter for trade at the end of a marvellous century Is a power ful argument against mismanagement, bad and unequal laws, and the rule of the Insolent money power. But not to go back as far as "twenty or' more years for comparison, let us take the last two years. The American says: "Quite half the income of our agl cultural classes is derived from our cereal crops corn, wheat, rye, ': oats, barley, - buckwheat. Last year, to re peat a little, the acreage m cereal crops n. no u MV) oftm. und fhft value of the crops $972,069,000, or something like $6.51 an acre, 'l-ne year Deiore, i,oa, 19 -ororo iW1w cultivation, and the value of the crops $1,017,316,936, or $6.78 an- acre, iso it appears vnmi our f.ntum rtti.fr vf -Choir cereel Croos m 1896 over $45,000,000 less than they got m isa." What does that mean? It is ' plain enough. The farmers in 1896 had $45, 000,000 less to live on than they had the year before.

Bailey, of Texas, is a man of brains and principles. It was well done to hener him with the democratic nomi nation for speaker against the usurp ing tyrant, Tom Reed. It is rather amusing to read a glib article in a republican paper eulogizing the late administration for great "steadfastness" in sustaining national credit on "the basis of borrowed money." ' . The navy department notifies 130' members of the Jhouse that each can appoint a cadet to the naval academy. The candidates are to come for admis sion examination May 15th. President McKinley will also have two appoint ments to the next Class. Our corre spondent at Southport can take notice. So far gone are legislators and par ties from all sense of economy and retrenchment in expenditures that a party organ, The Boston Advertiser, begins an editorial, with saying that "it is not likely that within the near future the expenses of the country during any two sucessive years will fall below $1,000,000,000." And the people allow it. The death of the noted Scotch writer, Professor Henry Drummond, occurred recently. He had been in declining health some time. He was a very in teresting and original writer, and some of his productions have had a great sale. He was not sound and for ty-six Presbyterian ministers of his church voted to expel him for hetero doxy of which he. was a minister. Several of the religious, literary and social - clubs and associations in the north are putting the New York World and Journal under, the ban of exclusion from their circles and rooms. Among them are Dwight Hall, Yale University the Princeton Theological Seminary the Montauk Club of Brooklyn; the City Mission; the Tract Society; the Young Men's Christian Association of New York. ' The reason is their immor al and degenerate tone. - ' That the republican party at bottom is favorable to usurpation and tyranny and great abuses in the speaker of the house is shown by the re-election of the imperious Reed, of Maine, the Tsar of legislation. With a Tsar in the feder al house, a Tsar in the governor's chair in North Carolina, and a Tsar in the late legislative house in this state, the rads are indeed choice .specimens of "reformers" and law-abiding citizens. Some blatherskite parson, dubbed bishop, and all the way from that Pur itan stronghold, Boston, preaching: in Bartimore, had the want of , decency enough to refer in a so-called sermon to the Confederate flag as "the dis graceful, abominable, and infamous rag that floated over the Confederacy.' That is the sort of clerical . uss" that brings reproach upon the pulpit. We wish we knew that fellow's name to print it. . ' The New York Tribune thinks, the prospects of a gold standard in Japan is by no means assured. The minis try favored it, but The Tribune says: "The introduction of the measure no more( foreshadows its successful pas sage by the diet than would be the case in the American congress. The new unit of value will be one-half of the present gold one-yen piece, and exist ing gold coins are to be circulated at double their present 'denominational value. The dispatch contains the furth er information that the silver one-yen piece will remain in circulation until abolished by an imperial ordinance.

At the Eastern hospital these positions were fill ed at last December meeting, and their terms will not expire until January 1st, 1899.
