“POLITICAL” ECONOMY.

Some forty million deficit will stare ns in tbe face. This year, 'tie thou*ht, if Congreesmen keep up their awful pace; Which even they will now admit io really pretty tough— Hence, we begin to hear about finance schemes in the rough. 'Tie plain enough we live beyond our income nowadays, And so to change this state of things they must consider ways. And these must be of such a kind as no way to arrest The course of our prosperity, or take from trade its zest. A growing nation, like to ours, eats heartily. To fork In nutriment's daily need—They can't cut off the pork I • So they must find some other means to stop the carping jaw. And, Incidentally, reduce the trials of Mr. Shaw. Eureka I 'Tie a simple thing involving no dis* tress, Or departmental scrimping ways, or load on business. Just adding to our taxes is the way to cure our ills, For everything is lovely while the people pay the bills.
