Tin: West Chester American Reputiz-
MIL says : "The ALA' 00 11 a7l calls upon
its Deinocratic friends to sacrifice" all
false leaders, and support,. 'principles:
not men.' General INl'Candless, the
Democratic candidate for Auditor Gen
era], supports and advocates the ` new
departure' Mid, thereforerin the opinion
of the Jiffersonian, should be sacrificed,4
will be. Take down his name, Mr. Jfpr-
ROnitt 71 . Go the whole figure."
EVERY man who maltes.his living at a
forge, fire, a rolling mill, a furnace, or
in any manufactory whatever, should
not forget that the Democratic leaders
and organs in Pennsylvania are the 'out
of free trade, by wliich
ad such workmen am to be brought to a
level with the pauper labor of the Old
World. Votes for Democratic candidates
are voices in favor of the reduction of
the wages of the American Mechanics.
DEMOCRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE:
11 , there is any subject upon which
Democratic politicians are particularly
noisy, it is that of the extrayagance and
dishonesty of Ibripublican officials. The
enormous expenditures required for the
suppression of a Democratic Rebellion,
gave .them some color fot their charges,
and they have made good use of it. As
they have been out of power, both in
State and National Governments, it is
impossible to make the direct cobtrasl,
and prove to a demonstration that their
administration would be infinitely worse.
Thee are sonic instances, however,
where that party, has, for 60111'0 years,
controlled 'sonic local governmenbi, and
here we have some items that will startle
even the most stolid, by the enormity of
the extravagance and peculations of
Democratic politicians.
The most magnificent of their opera
tions is, of :course, in the city of New
York. Here they have an enormous ma
jority, and can act out their sweet ;will
unquestioned. In • order that these
charge we make about theittlisluMetdy
and extravagance may not he et msidered
partizan, we take the substance of it
from Pomeroy's Democrat :
"There-is but one possible. reply to
this startling, and terrible indictment
against the Tammany thug, and weak as
that reply is, we shall notice it. It h.
that the vast tributes levied in tie name
of municipal Government are but teMpo
rary, and are mainly designed to improve
the city for' the general - welfai'm Both
these views are fallacious.

Ca'ft any sane man look at these figures
and say that the sum they leprestitt, or
any material part thereof, has been ex
pended to improve the city in the general
welfare? What I three hundred and
thirty,live millions expended on a few
wooden pavements and in freshening op
a dozen little ten-acre parks ? The idea
is monstrous. • Then observe the grad
ual increase of the figures from forty-one
to ninety-one millions tryear, and say if
such a regular march of ex penditmes
looks like a mere temporary affair. No,
no, fellow-eitizens, this is no expendi
ture for the general welfare, tkz t t .. e.rile n di

and no temporary act of spoilation,
a regular, well-established, thoroughly
organized system of confiscation, attack
ing and destroying, not only the.usnfruct
of capital, but sapping the very founda
tions of .property itself, and destined, if
.not averted by vigorouti and speedy
measures, to end either in bloody revolt,
or the total subversion of free govern
ment in New York"' -It intuit either re
sult in a tyranny such as Venice in its
blackekt days never dreanied of, or the
rope's end and the nearest lamp post for
every member of the Ring alive.''
The above figures ouglit to be very
manfully considered. .We donbt if retch
expenditures have ever been equalled,
anywhere. In five years, in time' of
'profound peace, a city having less than
a million of inhabitants expended more
than THRICE HUNDRED AND TIMM' FIVE.
MILLION of dollars.. With a Democratic
adininistration of the Natiohal govern
ment conducted on the same scale, no
possible combination
,of figures would
express the cost.
Tarr•: New York THband thus invites
the Deli:off:l4 of that city, to investi
gate the charges ii o ule against thew for
dishonesty :

have scrupulously refrained from the'

they ought to crush either you or it.
We tell you, in all calmness and candor,
that you cannot, without infamy, sit

WHAT 18 GRANT DOING/
Our Democratic cotcmporaries are
very anxious to have their readers and
their followers understand ..that the
President of the fluted Shites is loiter-
lug at fashionable watering-places, the
object of such a knowledge being to
create the belief that fl public business
is suffering in the,riceantime.
we deep) it fair to show what Grant's
:Administration is doing, and as no better
way of shOwing this is at hand than by
giving the-people some idea of its finan
cial policy, it is our desire to give the
people a few facts relating to the national
debt and taxation. They are subjects
width ought to he investigated, and as
the figures-we print show the result of
the labors'of- the Administration in re
ducing-v-44r burthens, welisk earnestly
int they may be kept in remembrance
I. The reduction of the public debt.
Since the connnencement of General
Grant's; administration the public debt
has been reduced $28:1,4132,42.1 11—in
consequence of whit% there is a saving
of interest amounting : to $1 , 1,818,4111,14.
11. The reductiop of takation. The
largest amount of internal revenue col
lected in any one year was $809,226,813.-
12 in 1566. Daring the past year these
collections will not amount to more
than $112;000,000; and fur the next
fiscal year it, is doubtful if they will be
$lOO,OOO, 000.
111. 'l'lie saving already affected I,y
the new lean. The Conversion of six
persent bonds into a funded loan -at five
Per cent, amounts at thepresent time to
67,000,001), by which interest annually
saved to the extent of $670,4:
These facts are peculiarly gratifying
nail deserveattention. The relief they
Heide is both felt and admitted. We
may add further that after the present
year, so Gusts tho national dal 4 is con
cerned, it is .::tended - to pay only the
interest, and accumulate a sinking fund
of one per cent per nunn to . finally
pay off the principal. 'll,e payments in_
the past have been mailo on behalf of
my reedit as a nation, and . witle a view
o fund Clio debt at a ibwer rate of hater
.st. It is also a part of th6..policy of the
Vdministration to strike out the ine,ome
ax, and all internal taxes save un
tobaLo, Cc., thus doing 'away, for

the.great demands for slaughter 'auri ng

was $11.5,647,075, showing an increase

extraordinary vicissitude among cattle.
These are most unexpectedly prosperous
exhibits, telling a most welpome story of
the great progress in the agricultural
wealth of the Btrite.
$941,453 88
Going briefly into the detftils of the
live stock act- • - •it of our farmers, we
ttrcd that holses have increased in
numbers about twenty-three thousand,
presenting an array .for any. future
caValyy_use (:which we trust may never
come in any but peaceful_ parades,) of
460,080 animals. .Mulch cows have also
increased about . thirty-lim) 'thousand.
Sheep show an increase of about ono
hundred and sixty thousand more than
in 1860, though the gross number is,
about twenty-eight thousand lc,ss than
in 1850. Political economists and an
inspection of the fliictuations in the wool
trade, may explain why sheep culture
does not advance With our other 'great
agricultural staples; although the State
has such abundant grazing grounds 1 1
admirably adapted to the Purpose. Swine
are steadily - decreasing in inimbers,.there
being a very marked decrease since 1800.
But whilst sheep .show no continuous
progressin numbers, and the swine are
diminishing, the value of animals
slaughtered for food purposes and sent'
Lo market, shows ~an astonishing in
crease. Tile value of this class of the
agricpltu'ral productions of Pennsylvania

was $8,219,848 ; in 1860 it was
$13,300,378 ; and in 1870 the value had
increased to $28,412,003. A compai ison
of the prices of beef, mutton, pork, veal,
&c., in iB.lO and 1860,,with 'the current
market rates, will explain in part why
this increase line reached the great ratio
•of 1110r0 than one hundred pdr cent.
The - expanding proportions of the
corn, wheat, and oat crops are very
gratifying. Chin shows an aggregate
of :11,70,4106 bushels in 1870 against
28,196,821 bushels in 180, and 19,8:1.1,-
211 bushels in 1800. Wheat shows a
total of 11),(172,967 bushels in 1870 against
13,0432311 in 1800, an increase of some
what over fifty per cent, though it
should be noted , that the .wheat, crop
was less by two and a quarter millions
' in 1890 than it was in 1800. The oat,
crop is increasing steadily and largely,
that of 1870 being 36,478,585 bushels, or
more than nine millions of bushels, six
millions greater that in 1800. Rye
'continues to decline, though the Rye
whiskey business is still active. This is
an anomaly for the explanation of which
wo can furnish no clue. And there is
another anomaly, for whilst the number
of sheep as already noted is but slightly
greater than in 1800, and not so great
as in 1830, the 'wool clip of those three
years stand thus : 9,591,722 pounds, in
1870; 4,762,52:3 pounds in 1800, and
4,181,070 in 18,10. We do not, believe
that even the circulars of the wool trade
will explain how this comes about. The
tobacco S increased 38 per cent,
and the value the products of our
orelihßls 160 per cent in the last ten
years. -
Among the great products of Penn
sylvania set forth 111 the table 'and pot
noted in the allure renmiks are bay, po
tatoes and butler, the returns of which
for 1870 were, hay,' 2,818,21 D tons;
potatoes, 12,8,50, r. 87 bushels, and buttM . ,
pounds. At this point we
leave tl e further consideration of these
interesting statistics I() the readers of
the /,e,l3er, admothishing the precho

diiierence between the currency of 1870

inform's us that this cheat is believed to
be a noxious plant of the' grass family,
known as turfs. From a Bibledictionary

while g . fowing, so much ,so, that'liefoio
they head out, the two plants can hardly ,
be distinguished. Tho grains are found
two or threo together, in a:dozen small
hugs scattered on a rather'long head."
Mr. S. had ,C,,number of grains of UM;
plant or tare analyzed. It is said that
if .it is left to mingle with the bread, it
will occasion' dizziness and et en as
