Radical rule, fourteen dollars per
head wore drawni from the induhlstry of
the nation through the ctomst01 anld
internal revenue. In 1800, cach man
had to pany out of his~ labor, two dol
hors and six cents of the public debt.
The Radicals came into p~ower, and in
six years they raised that sum to
sovconty-nine (dollars and fifty cents.
The1 expenses of the national govern
meont in 1860 wassixty-twvo millions.
This year they will reaceh two hund red
and twenty-five millions. A fearful

advertise and keep advertising until
