We cannot but return thanks to our
patrons for their extremely liberal support.
When but two years old, an age at which
most of our contemporaries were still draw
ing on their capital to cover their, expen
ses, we had received $50,790, while our
third year saw an increase to $99,801, or over
75 per cent. We feel, therefore, In looking
over the work of the past year, commendable
pride at the increase. It is not so much the
absolute addition to our revenue (although
we do not pretend to slight the injunction of
Iago, to "put money in thy purse") which
causes gratification, but the proof thus
given that our efforts to make a live, im
partial, and conservative iournal are not un
appreciated by the public.
Encouraged by the experience of the past,
we shall seek in the future to merit and
receive yet more of that generous support
which Philadelphia readers and advertisers
always extend to those who successfully seek
to supply their wants. The mercantile and
business community are in the habit of judg
ing for themselves of the success or failure ot
an advertising medium, and, like the world
in general, always help those who are help
ing themselves. The aid of the merchant is
given to a paper not simply that it may
be a success, but because the advertiser
will be benefited. When, therefore, the patron
age of a paper is rapidly increasing, the
reader may take it for granted that the cause
is found in the success of the paper; and the
best argument in favor of a journal that can
be laid before business men, is that so many of
their follows have selected it as their means
of communicating with the public. The in
crease ot our returns ma v be translated into
the friendly advice of those who advertise
with us to their brethren in the trade "to come
and do likewise."
Tbe Condition of Onr Municipal and
State Finances.
The report of Joseph R. Lyndall, City
Controller, transmitted to-day to Coun
cils, for 1866, exhibits a decided improvement
over that of 1805. The total expenditures
for the city during the past year amount to
8,392,379, asjainst $10,363,250 for 1865, which
is a clear deduction of over two millions of j
dollars in the municipal expenditures. Of
this sum the total expenses of the depart
ments amount to $6,492,204 for the past year,
while its preducessor showed a cost of only
$6,281,330. The decrease in the entire ex
penditures, notwithstanding the increase in i
that of the departments, is due to the war
expenses of 1865, which amounted to
$2,152,000. In other respects the current
coBt of the city in the two years is almost
equal. The funded debt ot the
city on the 1st of January, 1806,
was $33,837,270, which . was increased
during the past year to $35,165,621, a de
ficiency being shown of $1,600,000 between
the receipts and expenditures. Notwithstand
ing this, however, the City Treasurer has paid
ofif$195,000,andthe Sinking Fund Commis
sion, $1,009,163. One of the largest features
of the heavy annual expenditure of the city
arises from outstanding warrants of previous
years. Thus in 1806 they amounted to
$2,043,141, while in 1865 they reached the ap
palling sum of $2,9894512. We are, in fact,
to-day paying the debts of the past adminis
tration, and it would be well to have the fact
called to the attention of the eloquent Demo
cratic inveigers against the profligacy of the
Republican administration, that the heavy
taxes now imposed are to cancel off the
legacy of debt bequeathed by them. In all
the facts submitted, we cannot but feel grati
fied at the nature prospects of the City Trea
sury. During the coming year we will have
none of the war expenses to weigh us down
and, as they amounted in 1866 to 11, 043,000
we may naturally expect that the condition
of the finances will Improve from year to
year. Much credit is due to Henry Bumm,
City Treasurer for the ability displayed by
bun in the discharge of the perplexing duties
oi that office ; and also to the Controller, tor
the clear and satisfactory table submitted for
the inspection of Councils.
The same duty which has been performed
by Mr. Lyndall to the city has been rendered
by General Uartranft to the State, and the
account of the Auditor-General gives us also
cause for congratulation. The total receipts
for the past year reach $5,829,668, which,
with a balance in the Treasury oi $2,373,668,
and some $41,000 of unavailable funds, left
$8,244,308 at the control of the State. The
principal sources from which these were
derived were corporation stocks, $1,258,000,
J AHtite. $919,258. and tonnage $401,741.
The total expenditures amount to $6,462,303,
earing a balance or iivsz,ooa. ur tne
iiaf 4Al nnn is In cldental to the war. The
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund can
celled $1,867,650.
HktW toM treated of the flourishing
prtjfrpeojB of our present financial condition,
we are compelled to refer to a phase of our
State credit which is painful to all honorable
men. We refer to the loans of the Common
wealth which have already matured, and
which, notwithstanding they are over-due,
have not boen cancelled. They amount to
$23,108,626. Some of thw loans were con
tracted years ago, and many ot them have
open over-due lor a length of time which only
can be excused on the plea ot State insol
vency. In addition to this sum, there are some
$12,500,000 which will be due before 1871, so
that the total State debt to-day is $35,617,434.
It is a curious fact that the debts of the city
and Mate are nearly exactly the same amount,
each being slightly in excess of $35,000,000.
The duty which tbe Commonwealth owes to
herself and her creditors is clear. Let the
twenty-three millions bu taken up, and a new
loan negotiated sufllcicut to eover that
amount. We have already reverted to the
necessity of such a step, and we fuel confident
that in our strictures on the lax and dis
honorable system so long pursued, we will
have the support of all honorable men. The
future of the State finances looks bright, If
wc will but act as self-respect dictates.
The Labor Problem in England.
England, as well as the rest of tbe world, is
having her troubles with labor; Indeed
rathfi worse than the rest of the world, for
her commercial supremacy rests upon her
ability to continue the cheap manufacture of
goods for foreign markets. She cannot re
main the world's workshop without doing the
world's work at cheaper figures than it can be
done elsewhere. Thus she is bound by a hard
necessity to keep her labor at the lowest pos
sible point of remuneration. But of late
English manufacturers have had great trouble
with tlteir workmen. The 'Trades' Unions"
have become thoroughly organized and very
powerful, and have succeeded in raising the
rate of wages to such a poin; as renders it
impossible for England to compete with some
of the continental countries m many branches
of manufactures. Thus, a late letter-writer
from England says :
"It is a fact that a ton of pie iron can be laid
down in Loudon cboapcr, if madeira Bel'iurn,
than it made in Hiallord.Jbm. Kven tne ireiclit
Is less. Tbe English railways cun pet mils,
locomotives, probably the entire plant of a road,
cheaper abroad than at liorue. How then are
wages to be kept up in England to a third more
than is paid in neipbboriug countries '!"
The same complaint is made in regard to
other branches of manufactures, and Eng
land is daily losing a trade which she has
spent long years in building op. Indeed, one
of the most interesting characteristics of the
times is the great effort of labor in all civi
lized countries to secure a more remunerative
share ot the profits realized from the com
bined action of itself and capital. This effort
is doubtless one of the cfiects of increasing
knowledge and civilisation among the masses,
and the increasing demand for skilled labor.
The intelligent workman cannot reconcile
himself to the coarse bodily fare and the in
tellectual poverty which characterize the
condition of too many of the laboring classes.
He must have good food, a comfortable home,
newspapers and books, education for his chil
dren, his pew In the church, and the comforts
of civilized life generally. It would thus
seem that the nation which provides the most
thoroughly tor the education and elevation of
its people may, on that very account, flad
itself the soonest embarrassed with the prob
lems growing out of the relations of labor and
capital. These problems appear to be inevi
table, and their practical solution may involve
vast changes In the Industrial arrangements
of the civilized world.

speech yesterday, m the House of R?pr csen

The Pope's Christmas-Day Address to
me varaiuaia.
At the reception of the Cardinals and Pontifi
cate authorities on Christmas day, Pius IX im
provlbed an energetic reply to an address read
to him: First, he thanked the cardinals tor
their congratulation and tbe constant attach
ment which they had fehown for him personally.
He said that in the timed in which he found
himself, he derived a powerful encouragement
lrom seeing miuseir surrounded by the affec
tion and counsels of the Sacred Colleee. Ke
pi Mtig to the observations ot Cardinal Patrizi,
who had been spokesman, he added that he was
trmiquii, because he knew tnat m tbe present
(truckle hedeiended the cause of God and ot the
Church, and therefore he reliPdon the assistance
ot the Lord, lie said, with the prophet David,
The Lord Is my Upht. the protector of my lite;
whom shall I fear?" His Holiness afterwards
said that it was tecessary to be piepared for all
io endure every persecution. He also ob
served that a tew days before he had received
letters from the Corea relative to the deaths
which several missionaries have suffered in
that country; only two ot them were successful
in escaping from the ferocity ot their persecu
tors, and it was they who forwarded to Rome
the nanative of the martyrdom of their cot
leapucg. The Vope expressed the opinion that
it was necessary to be ready to sutler everything
tor the Church, wbi'-h nowadays is perse
cute! in Europe by deceptions, seduc
tions, lyinir promises, and by unjust de
mands and exactions. Certain persons, by
the aid of rare diplomatic skill, are
puttiBg forward trreat assurances to induce the
Holy See to make concessions. These people
act as the Devil did when he tempted Chrlt on
the mountain, showing him all the kingdoms of
the world, and saying he would give Him them
if He would tall down aod worship him. As for
us, naid his Holiness, we shall not allow our
selves to be reduced by such proceedings,
others tome with the olive branch of peace, but
require that their will should be submitted to.
Weil, we shall always continue to reject false
offers and repel everything that is contrary to
the principles of justice, to the good of the
Church and the dignity of the Holy See. We
desire peace, but a peace that should not be
offensive to the honor of God and of Uls reli
gion. fatanio.-In a pastoral, just pablUhed, the
Bishop of Areas, Prance, says that "Satan
howled in hell" when the doctrine of the Im
maculate Conception was proclaimed, and that
it was be who inspires the attacks on the Holy
Bee, U order to be avenged oa tkat act.
