THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
The Republican 'Primary Election, held
in this city on Saturday last, for candidates
for Mayor, Controller and Treasurer, resul
ted auspiciously for the harmony and sue
,.cess of the party. JARED M BRUSH was
designated for Mayor, BORT. J. pGow.ticr
for Controller, and A. J. COCHRAN for
Treasurer. Other highly respectable gen-
Ilemen were voted for, and received mess
urea of support highly creditable to their
characters and the pretensions set np by
their friendsintheir behalf; and it is no die
paragement to them to affirm that the candi
dates selected are entirely unexceptionable
in all particulars, and will command the tin- .
divided support of the Republicans of the
city.
These nominations were made by no
ring or clique of politicians, but by the
people themselveti. Never in the history of
local politics in this neighborhood did pri
mary elections attract a better class of citi
zens. Voters, - impressed with the reap:mai
`bility which individually rested with them
in securing a ticket worthy of their support
and confidence, flocked to the polls from'
the workshop and counting - room, and de
posited their ballots with all the honesty and
dignity of intelligent American citizens. So
much' for the Crawford county system.
We have not heard a word of complaint
growing out , of the result,
, or the , faintest
_
hint thatall'Was not conducted_ fairly and
honorably. The people ` hive put forward
the ticket, and certainly secure its
election in October.,
Our friends throughout the State, and
%elsewhere, need have no apprehensions ors
repetition of Ithe result exhibited at our lad
Municipal election. • ,

VI. The present condition of our system
of Federal taxation.
We invite to these statements the fullest
consideration of every reader who i:, a tax
payer, and challenge the most critical exam
ination of the figures submitted, in reference
to the official reports of sworn officers of the
Federal Government. The wildJst and
most absurd misrepresentations of the real
state of facts have been indulged in by Dem
ocratic presses and public speakers, the
&eater part of whom err through simple
ignorance, their incompetency to under
stand the details of financial questions, or
their willful and reckless disregard of the
truth. The country is already vocal with
these persons, Many of them candidates for
office, for Congress and the State Legiala:
tures, who either knowingly and purposely
state what they know to be untrue, or who
exhibit a degree of ignorance and incapacity
not only disqualifying them for the positions
they have the assurance and vanity to ask
Ter, but establishing their entire unfitness
to be trusted as political teachers, or to be
respected as men of ordinary veracity and
common sense.

Expenses for the year ending June 30th,
1861, were estimated at $20,000,000; for the
year ending June 30th; 1869, there were esti
mated and appropriated for, $33,081,118.
A small part of this latter sum is estimated
for war claims remaining unpaid, but we
will accept it as representing the proper ex- 1
penses of that Department when peace shall
be fully restored, all the war-debt liquidated
into another form, and the military service
of the Republic brought back to its normal
condition, commensurate with the material
growth of the people. The Department
cost, for the year ending June 30th, 1860,
$16,409,767 10. It is fair to assume that
its proper expenses, lad no rebellitsn or civil
disturbance required their expansion, would
have averaged, for the seven years from
July Ist, 1861 to July Ist, 1868, not over
$30,000,000 per annum. Deduct therefore
$210,000,000 from the above aggregate and
it leaves the proper expenses of the Rebel
lion idthatDepartmant at $3,008,702,928 02.

The Navy cost $11,518,150 19 in the year
ending June 30th, 1860, and was estimated
at $12;000,000 for the year ending June 80th,
1861, but probably cost more, as that included
three months of the rebellion. The esti
mates and appropriations for the current
year ending next June are $17,800,000.
We take therefore an average of $15,000,-
000 for the proper expenses independent
of the war, and, deducting for the seven
years, $105,000,000, have a balance of $BOB,-
840;876 18 to carry up against the rebel

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : MONDAY , AUGUST 17, 1868
FIGURES FOR EVERY CITI.ZEN
Cost of the Rebellion--Entire Receipts and
Expenditures for Seven Years—The Pub
lic Debt—Federal Taxation. •
We have applied to official sources for
exact information on certain points of con
siderable [ interest to the tax-paying people
and the results of our enquiries are em
bodied in the statements annexed. Every
fact cited and figure repeated in this article
are taken from the Annual Reporta of the
Secretary of the TTeasuri, submitted to
Congress for the fi sical year ending respec
' tively and seriatim from June 30, 1860 to.
June 30, 1867, with the data for the year
ending in June last (to be reported by the
Secretary to Congress in December next)
which are from the recent official statement
of Commissioner WELLS, the authenticity ;
of which no man can question, and for the
current year, ending June 30, 1869, from the •
estimates of the various departments, as re
vised, cut down and appropriated for at the
last session. These appropriations, be it
remembered, limit all drafts upon the
Treasury, and not a dollar can be lawfully
expended beyond the authority thus given
by the representatives of the people, and
the amounts thus authorized are therefore
assumed, under the uniform practicd of the
Government from itaearliest days, as mak
ing the extent of probable expenditums.
We propose to show:
I. The money cost of the laterebellion, in
cluding therein the expenses of the War and
Navy Departments, interest paid on the
public debt, the cost of Reconstruction and of
the Freedmen's Bureau, up to the period
when all these expenses, except fof interest
on the debt, shall have ceased.
11. The aggregate receipts and expendi
tures of the Government for the Eight years
ending June 30, '6l, to June 30, 'OB, inclu
sive.
111. Where the-money name from, which

allies of our Copperhead Democracy from
cutting the throats of theirtnionneighboni,,
and renewing their fight for the "Lost
Cause." These expenses are already in
cluded in those given for the War Depart
ment proper. And, as all the expenditures
for Reconstruction and the Freedmen are
so included, we do not now charke them up
again in the total account. We sum up as
follows:

—and the $126,000,000 of interest to be paid
this year on the debt will more than swell,
at the end of the current fiscal year, the
money cost of the great Democratic rebel
lion to the terrible total of four thousand
millions of dollars! How soon can we
afford to !have another, such as they threaten
us with ?
11. AGGREGATE RECEIPTS AND EXPEND!
TURES FOR TEE EIGHT' YEARS ENDING --
JUNE 30, 1808.
The Receipts for, each year, from all
sources, were as follows :

1 This apparent discrepancy of about $9OO,-
000,000, between receipts and expenses,
may be briefly explained. The figures for
each year above include the balances which
are carried over, and which ought to be de
ducted from. the ,actual summary of the
year's transactions. -- For example, .in all
the years named, except '63 and '64; these
balances varied from $2,000,000 to $144,000,-
000, making in all about $825,000,000, while
in the two excepted years the deficit on the
other side was about $1,203,000,000, The
balance represents substantially the discrep
ancy above shown. It is evident, of
course, that this balance or appareht deficit
is fully accounted for in the public debt, into
which it has been carried. It is also to be
observed that large amounts on each side of
the account; and for each year since 1861,
represent merely changes in the form of the
debt, the shifting of certificates into
seven-thirties, legal-tender notes, or bonds
of the various authorized issues, and to that
extent are independent of the actual receipts
and expenses of the year, 'although included
in the annual financial statement. Making
these deductions, the aggregate of monies
actually received and spent would appear
considerably less than above stated.
111. TUE SOURCES WHICH ' YIELDED VIE
• . FUND'S. I
Dunng the eight years ending June 30th,
1868, the receipts from all sources, except
loans, amounted to $2,340,848,603.35. For
one iear, 1863, this includes receipts from
all sources whatever. These receipts were
derived from customs, direct taxes, internal
revenue, lands, captured and abandoned
property and miscellaneous items generally.
The customs, taxes and' internal revenue
were the channels through which the money
of the people was received by the tax gath
lerer. Dedifet the amount thus realized from
the total of receipts, and the balance; $2,.
776,660,830.62, was every dollar of it raised
by loans of various descriptions based upon
the National credit, and making up our
present National debt. •
IV. HOW THE MONEY. HAS BEEN EXPENDED.
We have above shown what it has cost the
country to put down the Rebellion. Let
us look at the other expenses incurred dur
ing this period. The following table shows
the ordinary expenses, excluding those for
the War and Navy Departments and on
account of the Debt. It comprehends all
other expenses of tie country, incident to
its necessities in war or peace. These are
grouped by the Secretary under the heads
of the Civil Service, Pensions and the In
dians. The figures are :

Total of ordinary expenses 9318,4439 61
•Estlinated.
• The estimates and appropriations for the
current year show a still further reductiOn
to $40,000,000, which is very nearly down
to the mark of our expenditure in the last
year of Mr. BUCHANAN'S administration.
Large amounts have been applied to the re
duction of the public debt. The last Trea
sury report states "the actual reduction
from Sept. 1, '65 to Oct. 31, '67," at 3266,-
185,121.48. From Oct. 81, 165, to August
1, '6B, it is officially reported as reduced. in
the sum of $285,014,956.88, without throw
ing ont the $82,210,000 of Railway bonds.
Let us add to. these items the cost of the
war, as abovc given, together with the sums'
which we deducted from the expenditures
in the War and Navy Departments, as
allowance for their avenge annually cost
under the ordinary conditions of peace:

This shows a slight excess over the total
of receipts as stated above, but, as we have
remarked, the exclusion of all transactions
concerning the debt from both sides of the
account, and the omission of the respective
balances) and deficits would reconcile the
difference. .

than one hundred millions per annum: The
interest account also begins to run: down,
In proportion as the principal is paid off
The country saves llftiert millions of dol
lars in that way this year.
The total expenditures for the current
year, including the extraordinary
. payments
for interest, pensions, bounties, &c., cannot
exceed $l9 ,500,000, and that amountis ap
propriated accordingly. The receipts on
the other h d, are estimated by the Secre;
tary at $3B ,000,000, of which the customs
and intern 1 revenue furnish $350,000,000.
Said the S cretary, in December last:
• `These estimate., hre made on the general average
of the receipts and expenditures for the past nine
months. Tne - liecretary is hopeful, however, that
Congress will take measures to largely reduce ex
penditures In all bmiebes of the service, to that a
eteeoly reduction of the dat moo be cont inued."
CongresS did take such measures, cutting
down the expenditures from his estimate of
$372,000,0.90 to $198.500,000 appropriated
for. , If the receipts hold up to his estimate,
ix:
E 1
as they are likely to do, a surplus of. $lB2,-
500,000 wil be applicable to the reduction
of the debt. And in this way the debt is
finally to paid off.
In 1816, t the close of our second war
with Great Britain, the Republic, with a
population not exceeding eight millions,
owed a public debt of $127,384,933.74, and
paid it all off in twenty years. Large as is
our present debt, our forty millions of peo
ple, wielding the resell - ices of a continent,
will not find it so great a burthen as (their
fathers felt the war debt of 1816, to be,
fifty years ago,
The reader will perceive, in examining
the above statement, that when Mr: Bu-
CLIANAN and the Democracy retired, in
„March '6l, from their mai-administration of
the government, they left, an already exist
ing debt of nearly ninety millions of dol
lars, for which, in a partizan point of view,
only they, and not the Republicans, are re
sponsible.
VI. TUE PRESENT S TATE OF TAXATION
When the late
,war closed, taxation was
universal : it covered about everything ex
cept land,:agricultural Iroduce, =manufac
tured lumber, breadstuffs and a few other
forms of property or product. At least ten
thousand distinct articles s were then subject
to tax. Now, after three years, there is
nothing taxed for Federal purposes except
spirits, liquors, tobacco manufactures, gas,
matches, and playing cards; a stamp tax
upon perfumery, medicines, and a few
other things, and upon written instruments,
and a reduced tax upon incomes, a license
tax and the tax iipon 'watches, plate, and
carriages. The amount of taxes abated or
repealed since the close of the war has been
officially estimated by the Commissioner of
Revenue as follows :

•. • ry .11,
'• `• '• March Mat., '6B.
Total $187.263,0(0
The burtben of Federal taxation no lon
ger affects the masses of the people. It
bears upon wealth, luxury and personal in
dulgence. As such, the people will prefer it
to the new Democratic theory of equal tax
ation, which is td press upon the farmer
and his products equally with the wealthy
capitalist.
, VII. CONCLUSIONS
Let the citizens, therefore, remember
these facts, which are established by the
most ample official authority, and each of
which, as stated by as in this article, are
correctly cited, and may be corroborated by
reference to the authentic documents.
• Ist. The cost in money of the Rebel
lion was over four thousand millions of dol
lars.
2nd. Of this cost, very nearly one
half, that is to say three-eighths, have
been already paid and forever discharged.
Of this whole fcrty-one hundred .millions,
only twenty-five hundred Millions remain
unpaid, in the shape of the existing public
debt, -
3d. The Republican party, administer
ing the National affairs for seven years,"
have, in that period, encountered and
crushed the most formidable rebellion ever
kn9wn to a civilized people, meeting and
discharging all the ordinary expenses of the
Government and very nearly one-half of
the cost of the rebellion tself.
4th. With the restoration of peace, and
the completed reconstruction •of nearly
all the rebellious States, the cost of the
public service, in all departments, has been
brought back to the anti-war standard.
Excluding the extra expenses in the current
year, ending next June, such as interest on
debt, pensions, bounties, itc., Commisssion
er WELLS estimates the regular expenses of
the nation for the year at $90,381,013;00,
which amount, and no more, has been ap.
propriated therefor , by Congress. The last
two years of ReronaziAx's administration
showed a regular expenditure of 031,000,-
000 and $86,000,000 respectively. _ The
slight increase for 1868.0 is fairly due to the
growth of the nation in that period. With
these allowances, the Repuitiean policy costs
no more than that of its predecessors.
sth. More than one-half of the money
spent in the last eight years was borrowed,
and more than one-tenth of this borrowed
motley is already paid. The rest of the
money was obtained either from the regular
anti-war sources, or frorn taires, the greater
part,of which are now abated.
6th. The existing Federal taxes do not
bear upon the masses of the people directly.
The reeeipts into the Treasury come mainly
from customs, i. e. duties upbn goods iss
ported from foreign countries, and from the
internal revenue, the principal sources there
of being tobacco, distilled spirits and fer-
mented liquors. It these are honestly col
lected this year bi Mr. 'Jciarieioi' `agents,
the yield will meet all the requirements of
the Treasury without constituting an oner-
one buithen upon the.-people. 'No other
Federal taxes Ace levied, except upon gas,
matches, playing cards, perfumery, comet-
Patattnedislitei, Saida 114 other man.'
nfacturvi aiticles, incomes, licenses, wa t ch"'
as, carriages and plate. Such "trartheni ,
ail thew constitute, people who undentand
the matter, will not amide: very dlsWes.:
7th. •ThelAsieral abate' or.rfraf*i
the,lsat Ittw yes* .11,0 eetLMlsted at
CUE
*167 000 000 annually. These taxes were
taken off because, with. the reduction of ex
penditures. the payn.ent bf the public debt
within a reasonable period, could be effected
without them. To that extent, therefore,
the public burtlie.ns were diminished.
- Bth. Every dollar of the money received
in seven years stands faithfully and honestly
accounted for. If there has been any ``Rad 7
ical extravagance," it has consisted entirely
in the necessary payments for the expense
of that rebellion which Democracy brought
upon us. No doubt, it is "extravagant" in
a Democratic point of view, to buy powder
and ball, pay soldiers, build ships, raise-ar-
mies, equip fleets, take care of the wound ,
ed, bury the killed, tension (the crippled
veterans, the widows and the orphans--all
to uphold the integrity, of the Union.
Doubtless, it is equally "extravagant" to;
undertake to pay either the interest or the
principal of the money borrowed
upon the Nation's credit. It is against De
mscratic principles to pay that interest, and
against their interest to pay that principal.
But an honest people will honestly meet all
its obligations.
9th. In three years, since the war
closed, nearly eleven per cent. of the debt
has been paid off. Republican economy
faithfully responds to the popular expecta
tions, and to the hope expressed by Secre
tary McCoLLocn, by continuing the cur
tailment of ` expenses, and his estimates
show that a large further reduction of the
debt may be made this year. If the Dem
ocracy do not plunge us into another civil
war, the present scale of receipts and ex
penditures will enable us to pay off the en
tire debt within the present generation.

more constantly and grossly offends against

IS YOUR DISEASE RHEUMATISM I
Many persons, supposing they are suffering from
ibis disease, have applied X.lnaments. Plasters and
other Rheumatic Remedies without obtaining any
relief, when in fact the cause of pain is a derangel
ment of the Kidneys. These are small organs. but
very important, and anyobstruction or interference
with its fp nctloms are Indicated by pain in the bank
and loins, languor and weakness, difficulty in avoid
ing and unnatural color of the urine. A Diuretic
should t once be resorted to.
DR. SARGENT'S
Liurette or Backache Pills
Can be relied on for these purposes: they have a
direct Influence on the cells of the kidneys, assists

and =tastes them to a healthy and vigorous ac.

SHATTERED CONSTITUTIONS.
Our constitutions arc elastic.* They are not easily
shattered. In fact, strictly speaking. Death alone
can shatter , hem, for they represent the reserve of
vitality, which enables the enfeebled system to re
set, whin the pressure of disease is removed from
it. But It is the fashion, when the. body Is weak,
the circulation languid, the nerves tremulous and
the mind depressed. to say that the constitution is
I ruined, or br•:ken down, or shattered. In cases of
the kind described, administer HOSTETTER'S
