WILMINGTON, N. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1897. GREATER EXPENDITUKES. We return to the question of gov ernment expenditures to the" pregnant question "Retrenchment, or Ruin." If in 1890 six years ago-the govern ment expended $4.75 for each man, wo man and child in the United States while in 1840, the per capita was but $1.41 what Is the possible justification for .such extravagance, such marvel lous Increase? The population in 1840, was 17,000,000; in, 1890, it was 62,622,250. The best informed and wisest econo mists will tell you that instead of the ratio of expenditures increasing with the growth of population it should and would diminish' under wise and eco nomical administration. We now copy a table from ex-Secretary Morton's . i . -t -ir 1 Ti .. . ft T - paper in iiic itcw ui uiu. utt it be' examined by all '. tax-payers who see.it. (We find that we clipped the table to use the opposite side in our first article and can not reproduce here. But read what follows.) Take another table. It is by these carefully prepared tables that you can ; form an exact idea of what has been done, and from them draw right deduc tions. The people need instruction in such economic matters. The table to be at once given sets forth the total ex penditures of the United States from 1850 to 1890, in four periods each of ten years. Examine carefully. July 1, 1850, to June 30, 1860, $568,363, 368, $5,733,530, $27,729,197, $76,374,511, $678, 200.606. ! July, 1860, to June 30, 1870, $4,415,723 822, $37,262,113, $850,327,718, $4,039,621,128, $9,342,844,781.

The proper headings are unfortunate ly lost, but the totals are significant. Let us consider the pension burden, made so enormous by the. republican i i.i i i v miti .ill 1 1 -i i i i 1 1. 1 1 null ii.il iiui. j k ic purposes, having an eye solely to se curing by sich bribes the soldier vote. From 1870 to 1880, the- tot al for pensions in ten years was $326,088,179, or 19.99 per cent, of the net ordinary expendi tures. This was, you see, for the first decade after the war, when such a very .large proportion of the soldiers who fought the south were living. The pen sions ought naturally to have been greater in that decade than in, subse quent decades. If honesty and right had prevailed it would have been the case. But political demagogues and tricksters willed otherwise. From 1880 to 1890, pensions had more than doubled had reached the huge sum of $702, 232,652, or 33.47 per cent, of the net or dinary expenditures. That was start ling growth, and a most iniquitous rob bery. Rememberthat by 1874 or a lit tle later, both Generals Grant and Gar field, both elected presidents, declared that the annual outlay for pensions should never exceed 31,000,000. By 1890 thov had excelled S100.000.000 annually. The pensions for the present fiscal year Will require quite $150,000,000, or more perhaps, and that too after thirty-two years of peace. Most monstrous and shameful robbery." Mr. Morton gives the following: "From July 1, 1S90, to June 30, 1896 (a period of six years), the net ordinary expenditures, not including interest, were $17779,887. ; At this rate of in crease the net ordinary expenditures for the decade ending June 30, 1900, would aggrgate $3,295,633,145, nearly as much as for the twenty years ending June 30, 1890!. From July 1, 1S90, to June 30, 1896, the -interest on the public debt amounted to $182,394,108; making a total of $2, 159.773,995. UUl 1U 11119 pel 1UU LUC LfJI.! uiBJuiac- ments for pensions were $840,363,077, or 42.50 per cent, of the net ordinary ex penditures, not including interest." , 'The increase is appalling, j in o, possi ble plea can extenuate the . crime against, the people. The f intelligent reader will recall that theJLcontention of The Messenger, in, many editorials has been that the present annual ex penditures could be reduced from $520, 000,000 to not, more than $300,000,000, without impairing the efficiency of the 'federal government, but within strict lines of public economy. Ex-Secretary Morton appears to think that "curtail ment can be made very heavy. He asks, and he has hadfour years of cab inet experience, and ought- to have some insight into expenditures, and to know whether they are wisely or un wisely, necessarily or unnecessarily made; ' . "Why should there be billions appro priated now, when five hundred millions to eight hundred millions would be suffi cient for legitimate governmental dls-v bursements? Does the appropriation of nearly eleven hundrfed "millions of. dol lars by the Fif ty-foufth congress afford citizens more security for life, liberty, and property? : Is it patriotism, or par ty policy' and personal ambition, that, without particular regard to services rendered the republic, -constantly talk and vote in, the American senate and house of representatives for an enlarg- II1CIIL Ul LIIC uuillMCl JK ...... -.j . sioners? Why should the decade from 1880 to 1890 show more than seven hundred millions paid for pensions, when that from' 1870 to 1880 shows less than four hundred millions? Have pen- means of converting rolls of honor into lists of mere beneficiaries, regardless of services ,or disabilities, merely to gain .or to perpetuate party power?" . Hoping this may enlighten, we copy freely. To us it is a very plain matter that high taxes are a curse o any peo ple, and that in a republic they-should not be allowed. Every dollar taken in taxes from a citizen is taken forever. The only tax permissible is! enough to keep up to proper efficiency statfe and national governments. " The idea of partial or special taxa tion for favorites or a clasps is mon strous and despicable and foreign to all .lucaa j l tuiisuiutiuiiai nutrriy ana right." This pension mania is a fraud. Tens : of thousands of i men ; have had pensions who did not kinder any plea deserve them. Thousands of men draw pensions because suffering from inju ries or diseases who at the same time are Insured as healthy and safe sub jects. So Mr. Morton suggests. He calls .-for an inquiry by the congress. But the partisan demagogues will never agree to such scrutiny. Mr. Morton, continuing his exposure of extravagance and wrong doing on the part of the federal government comments on "the public-building ma nia." He says that In nine cases out of ten they are not required. We find that we can not dispose, of this ques tion of retrenchment In public expen ditures now without trenching too much upon our space and the patience of the reader. In another article we will conclude comments, etc., on the pa per under consideration. Mr. Morton calls atentlon In the matter of public buildings that jobbery has attended the erection of a great many. He says there have been extravagance in con-' struction, heating, manning with engi neers, janitors, watchmen, etc., and that this "is the history of scores of postofflces scattered throughout the Union," and, he adds, that these cos'tly buildings "have been de-utilized to a great extent by being supplemented by an expensive, unnecessary, and farcial free-delivery system which never ought to have been established, and should not now be continued in any town of less than 40,000 population." The latest results of pharmaceutical science and the best modern appliances are availed of in compounding Ayer's Sarsaparilla. . Hence, . though half a century in existence as a medicine, it is fully abreast of the age In al that goes to make it the standard blood- purifier. : HILL'S COMMENTS. " .We publish a screed from a colored man at Faison, who sets out to answer Mr. Hoffman, but propounds his ques tions to The Messenger. We said we did not agree with Hoffman as to the ex extinction of the negro race in this country. If Hill will give more attention to The question of death rate and the cause, .and use his influence for the elevation of his people intellectually, physically, materially, and . most im portant of all morally, he will prove himself a philanthropist. Meddling with politics, and antagonizing tfie white race in the south are not the surest and safest way to race elevation and friendly " intercourse. .If Hill knows as much of the ' present asj he seems to know of the future, he knows that the best friends of; his race in the United States are not in- the north but in the south the better classes of whites. The Messenger in common with the whites wish the negroes to be every way superior to what they are. In the south they enjoy privileges. they do not possess in the north and will never possess. What the negroes need is more industry, economy, education ! and morality and less political pow- , 3 . . . . V.nnIn.

A BAPTIST PREACHER ON POISON Hev. L. G. tBrougton, M. D., a native Of Wake county, we think, in his At lanta, Ga., meeting, dealt a heavy blow at J'the deadly cigarette." If half he says is true of it, and the doctors, or many of them, will probably coniflrm t his statements, then it is a curse to the human race and ought to be legislated out of business. It is all right to man ufacture this enemy if you give gen erously of your large profits obtained in this highly immoral way. The end sanctifies the; means in the estimation of thousands in the church, clerics and laymen. Mr. Brougnton is an able young North Carolinian and brave in opinion if .not impeoca'ble' in judge ment. The absolutely perfect people are only found among those who (be lieve' in the cigarette. Mr. Broughton said, preaching on the Prodigal Son of the Scriptures: "Let me say that I regard the cigar ette habit almost as gi eat . an evil as the whiskey habit. When you inhale cigarette smoke you are drawing into your lungs nicotine, alcohol, opium and arsenic and you medical students ibefore me know how these poisons are found in every man who is a cigarette smoker and on whom a post m'ortem is performed. I verily believe that cigarette smok ing is one of the greatest evils that ex ists and thousands are going down ev ery year to premature graves, their lungs eaten away, or else they fall vic tims to catarrhal phthisis. I believe there f ught to "be a law passed making a man manufacturing cigarettes or sell ing them guilty of murder. The man who makes a cigarette, and the man who sells it is guilty of murder indirectly, and the man wOio smokes-them is a suicide." There is a gifted, skilled physician in this city who knows Dr. Broughton intimately, and he tells us that he was a very bright, successful physician when practicing before "entering the ministry. When converted to God he felt called to lay down his medicines for the body and to go forth and preach the,, everlasting Gospel of the Son of God to the sin-sick children of men that he might perchance 'be an Instru ment in God's hands of leading some of the spiritually "diseased to the Great Healer for cleansing, curing, saving. -So it is no medical 'ignoramus or an empiric who is talking. It does not appeafr to make a bit of difference with some how you-make money and get rich, so you "get there" and then give liberally to churches and church schools. That appears to, be, the decision o'f Christian 'bodies now-a-days. 'Another evidence o'f decadence. Is - it right? Is it religious? l -it Christian? If every preacher in the land the educated and the Ignorant were to uniterin declaring that the end sanctifies and Justifies; the means we would not accept it for a second. With God's blessed Book to guide, to inform we would know, that it was untrue, unsound,. Immoral. God will never smile in favor upon any gifts into the treasury that are wrongfully obtained in, any way. The man, be he editor or other layman, who holds to God's re vealed truth, and seeks to walk in the light,' need fear no man or set of men who may threaten with 'pains and pen alties with censure Of Infuriated ig norance or the boycotting of the mis guided and intolerant. Stand toy the right,.be faithful in allegiance to truth and morality: and leave the conse quences with God.. Mr. Broughton' is one of the ministers who are not afraid to tell the truth and to stand by moral convictions. HOME JOLKS. ? A "Republican" writesja communica tion to 'me Asheville "Citizen protest ing - against the candidacy of Judge Robinson for the United Staes judge ship and recalls certain "signs of un fitness for such a responsible place." He, hauis iPritchard and Pearson over the coals .for trying to get the place for Robinson. He is caustic and plain, and is a man of some ex cellent qualities. ' He laid himself open to severe criticism tit one time and caught it from the democratic press. That he is the best qualified man for the place Indicated is "what we do not think, but he is at least as suitable as some of the hungry ones who have been named . as among the seekers. The -Messenger is on record as op posed to compulsory education. In a republic in a sovereign commonwealth a. citizen should have some rights and privileges, and among them are regu lating his own household and supervis ing his own children. In 'New Eng land, in the long ago, paternalism had so run to seed that the state was every thing and the individual citizen -was nothing. Hence, if a man J on Sun day in love with his wife should give her a hug "he was .punishable with a fine. We saw it mentioned two days ago in a New York paper that a man is to be ifined in some (Massachusetts or Connecticut town, we forget just now wh'ieh, for .spitting in . the street. He must either go out of town or retif e to his own back yard to expectorate if he would avoid a fine. The progress of usurpation of authority is to be watched.- Paternalism, in government leads finally to Tsarism see - Russell and Reed and ends in the sweeping imperialism and personal tyranny of Russia. Compulsory education may lead to compulsory uniforms or shoes (toothpicks) or the regulation of the hair and the style of the shirt collar! It Is well to leave a few liberties -and rights to the people. The Charlotte Observer says to the point: "We do not believe that North Caro lina will ever have tompulsory edu cation. Wc doj't ibelieve it ought to have. There are very few things that free people-ought to be compell ed to do "beyond behaving themselves. We need education in this state and it is the wiser pait to get it under a system which is practicable than to pick flaws and stand out for a 'some thing better' which there is no pros pect of ever attaining." As baldness makes one look prema turely old, so a full head of hair gives to mature life the appearance of youth. To secure this and prevent the former, Ayer's Hair Vigor is confidently recom mended. Both ladies and gentlemen prefer it to any other dressing. A BOSTON WISE MAN. The writer of all others in this coun try who is always and in everything absolutely, infallible is 'Edward Atkin son, of Boston. 'He has made more false prophesies and held more ex ploded theories than perhaps has been held "by any other man in our land. He has shown no real statesmanship and is a man of one idea. - He is always inspired with wisdom, and what he does not know about social, financial, and economic questions is simply not worth knowing of knowable. He has nor influence with the south except tvlth a small class. He is One of the cock-sure tribe who think southern men are ignoramuses, and that the north is in possession of all the money, all of the business capacity, all of the culture and learning,, and all of the wisdom. He is a residuary legatee of Solomon the Wise, David's son and successor. The last opinion of Atkinson is as bootless and fruitless as other opinions he has published. The south is not now taking counsel of' Its enemies. The south and west are not expecting pros perity from Boston theories and At kinsonian deliverances. The s?uth has a mind of its own, and the Jeremy Did dlera up north are wasting time In trying to sow the dragons teeth of dis cord, and to persuade the people in the -south that they are fools and ignora muses. Boston economy and principles and theories are dead ducks so far as the south is concerned. Atkinson is an unbearable nuisance. His self-conceit, Phis tdp-lof ty wisdom, his brassv. una dulterated effrontery are "intolerable and not to toe endured." When ' the south needs or desires his advice he will 'be sought. Until then he . should live in silence and nurse his vanity. TO CUKE A COLD IN ONte DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

Greensboro ' Female college has mly one pupil from three counties, not that; it does not -richly deserve more, nor that the iMethodist people of these counties do not appreciate its wrth, but because the people are too poor to patronize .that institution. The princi pal cause of their poverty has been pointed out before, the cigarette trust, which those pious gentlemen, Messrs. Duke and Watts, organized several years ago. ,It is true they occasion ally throw a bone to a denominational college -and thus divert public atten tion from .the inherent cussedness of their 'business and the line of policy upon which their business is conduct ed; 'but the farmers from whom they buy their raw material are' reduced, to a condition in which they cannot do their duty to their children even with the kindiy help of the state in the way Of cheap tuition. Waiving all questions as to the moral side o'f the business, and looking at it as a cold matter of policy, is it to the interest of the Meth odist church to form an alliance with a concern that gives by the hundred thousand while it robs by the millions? What are Trinity's magnificent ibuild ings and splendid apparatus and learn ed faculty, if they are beyond the reach -of the masses? 'And that they are beyond the reach of the masses is proved conclusively by the letters of Professors Hobgood and Peacock. Reidsville Weekly. One of the sad features of the pres ent age is the fact that men do not think advisedly on the moral side of all business, and human relations. The age in which we Jive is so grossly materialistic and covetous that busi ness men and others who are in- quick and hot pursuit of the almightly dol lar never stop for a moment to think and realize the fact that they are un der the reign of a moral law which is as inflexible and unchanging in its character as Him who is the same yes terday, today, and forever. But we can never realize a permanent change in the depressed condition of society until men. realize that one mightier than man has "established a law or rule the observance of which will hring peace and prosperity to the communi ty,, state and nation. It is asserted on every side that bad laws and corrupt legislation is one ot the main reasons why our country Is today in such a de pressed and distressed financial con dition. This' may in a measure be true, but the violation of a law which is higher and nobler than all human law, is the real secret of the sorrows of the state and nation. .There is an old law which should be rapidly brought to the front in order, to save the community, the state and the na tion from swift and absolute destruc tion. There is a fearful and terrible retribution coming upon all those who willfully wrong and defraud their fel low manK and there is but one known method of escape from the vengeance of a mighty God, and that is the rigid observance of that golden rule laid down by the great Redeemer of man kind to -save them from destruction. That golden rule is plain and simple, and is clearly expressed in those well- known and inspired words: "There fore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do. unto you, do you even unto them, 'for this is the law, and the prophesy."
