DENOUNCED ?S ROBBERS.

Fike County Democrat. When Abraham Lincoln became President of t ;e United States the entire revenues of the Government were les* than $50,000,000. Now the people are taxed to raise nine times that amount; and yet this vast revenue is insufficient to quiet the appetites of the robbers, who pretend that ‘ their hunger is patriotism. The deposits of all the Savings Banks of New England in 1886 equalled $554,532,431. The deposits in the savings banks of New York in 1886 was $482,6*6.730. The deposits la the savings banks of Massachusetts for the year 1887 was $302,948,624, and the number of depositors was 944,778, or $320.67 for each depositor. The savings banks of nine States have in nineteen years increased their deposits $628,000,000. The English savings banks have in thirty-four years increased theirs $350,000,000. Our operatives deposit $7 to the English operative’s sl. These vast sums represent the savings of the men whose labor has been employed under the protective policy which gives, as experience has shown, the largest possible reward to labor.
