Much has been gained daring this period, and certainly modi baa beea) thaneed. .'Many oi' the changes in the situation are due to the large growth of our tier man population. : They have rhe;Uierit of having 8BU.-Jit.utod to a great extent the drinkinc of bear and .of light, .wises for the drinking of whisky; they have, o the Other hand,-obtrietd-elt-ovenient8 toward total abstineticeres.ven to ward the abolition of -public houses, by their uaited front in favor of ''personal -freedom," aodspf - their home customs, au4, by being impervious to all the jsenti mental appliaiK-e ot the churcheaaud oi the tesnjicraace oluea They are encouraged in their hostility to tcmneranco laws, aud ia their haughty rebwke of -'moral suasioB."J y many oauve pojiueiaos, wno ieu them tkt, no.: matter how deleterious wine i". beer, er whisky may be to Atnrrieans and Irish, it does net hart th?

u the Gernutns iBa the tatberlana Vmong the latter the useof distilled Spirits echaapp-fe almost wholly ' on fined to the laboring classes; the luldle and hizber.claases dnat. at iot exclusively, beer and wine. In his country the German drink most- ' y beer and wine; but they tall, to a . ery great extent, into American habits; they soon begin to appreciate the - leantics of a "nigh tea r" -or ef aa aptier before..preaWtast, and to leel he oblication of taking a ten cent t rink ativach-i iThs a great many ' itrman-AmericAaj ootne to drink I The men engaged in the retail liquor trade having; more opportunities to drink, on aa average do drink, more 'than th os ncasred otherwise, and more of them Income drunkards. Therc'are in the United State no less than iOO.lXlO persons encaged in tnw frame, aside from barkeepers aud oth. r assistants. Of r-eonle carninji their own livine. one at least out of fifty cam it by selling whisky or beer I'erhaps the proportioa in Germany is the same.; Bat in the United States at least one fourth ol the liquor sellers are Germans, though they form less than one twentieth of the population. In other words, the chances of becoming; a drunkard or at least, a hard drinker, from being a liquor seller, is five times as great to the German in America, as for the German a home. But the disproportion is aiach greater, for the number of public houses in Germany is proportionately much smaller than what it in here. . The Germans at home know little or nothing about treating. Everybody pays for what he drinks himself, and is. thus a oiler no obligations to treat ethers.. When a man m Berlin or Dresden goes into a wine shop to drink a glass of wine he is apt to come i out afterl-httving- drank' one glass of wine, and ao wore, and having paid its price, and neither more or less. If a man at Cincinnati steps into a bar .room to get a drink, he may, notwith- . standing, the Kentucky cant phrase 'about the Cincinnati treat; come. ont 'with a half dozen different drinks, chosen after, tho. taste of as - many "friends, in his stomach, and with , his pocket reh'eved of the price of six drinks. This American habit has taken hold of our fellow citiaens born in Germany almost as thoroughly as ; of those to the manor boru,and exposes theni to all the dangers flowing ; from it. which the latter have so sadly experienced;; , -i ; ; -i , Again, there are in Germany other resorts besides the wine or beer house, to which men can resort for relaxation. There are in South Germany, at Jast, real coffee houses that ia, , houses in which coffee, black or white, is the principal beverage; while in North Germany the confectioneries answer the same purpose. There are old and middle aged men, who meet at the real coffee houses or confectionery every day, to sip their coffee or chocolate, to play their game of dominoes, chess, or checkers, and to talk over the last opera or the politics of the day. No such houses are to be found, in this country. Society can not' be found at the coffee table, it must be songht for at the bar,.For all these reasons combined the Germans of this country drink more, drink stronger drinks, suffer, more of the evils-of intemperance, and inflict more on their families than their , bretbern in the old country. And it , is a grievous mistake to believe that . King Alcohol does not play sad havoc j in the German empire." I have myself veen his ravages in the valley of the . Oiler, as well as in the" valley of the QJjJq ,-,E? --4 Vsi.v. .t . I lint here, right in thisOhie Valley, iwe need but - open our cyea, and we j . can-see plenty ei the misery and disgrace whieh strong drink brines upon - German bora citizens and their families. There arc - plenty of haggard, : care worn, women, 'whose faces are as : mueh thinned by oveT work and want as those of their husbands are swollen from overdoses of beer and whisky; not quite so many, but more than enough in good conscience, who are often beaten brutally by a husband returning from the miscalled coffee houses. There are plenty of cases of delirium tremens, of inflammation of the stomach, ftlenty of bloody brawls even among the class of citizens which is made to : believe by: artful demagogues thai alcohol does not hurt them. ' : Let every German bora man and woman who reads these lines 'review 'iuhismind the names of his or her ' acnaaintances rich - and poor; thy -will find many more than they would acknowledge at first blush." And if - proportionally these extreme eases are not - so 4 frequently among 'the born Germans as among the born Americans, so much greater is the number of those who;drisk just '"a little too ch." S The men- who. atrractedhy " the coot dra ught, muddle their heads just enough to do their, business wrong, instead of doing it right; who hardly ever see their children; who fiad no time for the ' society of their wives, for improvement of tbeir minds, or for any useful undertakings for the Commonwealth, on account of their 11 absorbing worship of Gambrinus. The very fart that beer is weaker than whisky has its disadvantages. If it takes twenty glasses to exnilerate it also takes the better part of a man's ' lifetime to absorb the gladdening beveraec. - Aside from all this the Germans suffer from liquor in their social and political standing. They have, to a : great extent, formed themselves into a political party, of which the brewers, wholesale liquor dealers, and saloon keepers are the rs,leade and which has only one plank in its platform: Free drinking on Sunday as well as week days! Now, however honorable the profession of brewing or liquor selling may be, it can hardly be maintained that those engaged in it are safe or proper leaders of a party, or of a great class of our population. It has come so far that whenever or wherever an effort" is made in this 'Country, to combat or to mitigate some moral evil, the want of co-operation, nay, the resistanceof the Germans as a body is taken for granted at the beginning. i I wish it were otherwise. " I wish 'some' influential, earnest," eloquent, German born American would stand forth among his brethren, and, with " words of. fire, arouse them to the duty which they owe to themselves and to the country they live in. Such a man may convince them that intemperance tin America has to be fought and op- - posed with American weapons, and ' that if the German born disapprove of these weapons, it behooves them rather to bring forth' their own chosen arms and wield them in the war against - t'ae common enemy, than - to make themselves the champions of alcohol, on the pretense of disliking the methods of the friends of temperance. i -:" '" ' - X. . - Jones says he always makes up his mind regarding the value of a horse . by ' the ahuadaoce, length and beauty of his tail, for it s a well-attested fact that -all's well that ends well."

Three speechee have recently been made in the lloiuw of Representatives an the condition of the national finalises, which may be treated convenientIv together. , The first was made by Mr. lawes, f Matachasetts, chairman of the Wava and Means Committee, the second "by Mr. Robert, of N. Y., a member of that xommittee, aud the third by Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. The speech of Mr. ltawes was designed to snow that the 'finances of the country were in an embarrassed and alarming cwiditioB,! that the, expenses of the government jgcre increasing, while Its revenue was decreasing, and that there was humiacnt danger, if not uational bankruptcy, at K-af-t of great detriutent to the national credit. Spuid of the poiuta made by Mr. Dawes were well taken. With a frankness and boldness which were

although admirable, 1ms pointed out soutu inviting fields of reform, calling attvutiou to "sinecures which should be abolished, errors which should be corrected, and expenses which should be curtailed. in this regard his speech was calculated to do, aud undoubtedly did do good, tarnishing Congress with some valuable hints on economy which they appear well inclined to adopt. ' But in some very important particulars Mr. Dawes did great, though doublesa unintentional, injustice to this administration and to the Republican party. .The, burden and drift of his speech were, that while the revenues of the government had been steadily decreased during the last three years, its expenses had been steadily iuereasing. On this head Mr. Dawes said: . "While we have been reducing our receipts on the one side, we have bees increasing our expenditures an .the other. ; In 18t) the exDenaes of this government were K2,&5,277; ia 1S70 they were rjm (B3,5tJu; in lb71 tuey were ri2,177,183; in 1873 they were rmj7M2; in 1873 they were f2!H),345,245: and , the , appropria tions tor the present year, ending June 3tf, 1874, sum up 319,652,G44." No sooner, however, had Mr. Dawes closed than Mr. Garfield rose, and in a speeeh of about ten minutes,' completely refuted this apparently damaging statement. He called the att - ... i a r . . - ton i ion oi me uouse (u tnese iwpurtant facts: First, that Dawes bad in cluded in his statement of expenses fur the present year, the amount ap propriated for the sinking fund, viz: 2!l,19f,oV9, which he had not includ ed in the statement of any previous year and which therefore should be deducted. This would reduce the ap propriations for the year ending June 30, 1874, to -J90,44l,275; and, second, .Mr. Marfield showed that ot this sum. fll,143jfi, were for deficiencies of the year 18.3, so that the real appropriations for the rear 1874 were "279.3W,36, instead of $319,6-12,644, as stated by Mr. Dawes, i It is due the latter gentleman to any that subse quently he admitted his error, aud explained how he had fallen into it. And as his speech has been made the text for numerous attacks on the Republican party by the Dcutucatio ureas, we call attention to the following senten ces as indicative ot its spirit and pur pose, lie said: "I am not here to arraign the- lie publican party, but only to urge it to take hold of the. work of , reforming and improving old systems and methods which have been inherited not created, by it. The Republican party had its origin in the reform aad ever throw of old abuses. , It will, forget its .mission, only when it ceases to wearch them out and abolish' them. No other party before it. had either the courage or the power te . work out reforms witum iw own! organization. It is the elorv of the Itermblican narty, that it probes ita own sores, and corrects its own errors. It has never waited to be driven from without to a discharge of its duty, but, impelled by the very purpose of its being, it. has siirunK irom no seir-aiscipiine, nor hesitated in the application of the most radical reform. ' It is ia this spirit that I speak, arraigning nobody. but seeking if ; posible, for better methods of adminif ration than those which the country has out grown,' or exftenence has proven nowise. " : The speech of Mr. Roberts, deliver ed on Monday last, puts a very diuerent and much brighter face on the national finances than that of Mr. Dawes. Brief reference has already been made to it by telegraph, bat the report. wnicn is now at liand, calls for a more extended comment. Reverting to the situation three months ago,' Mr. Roberts remind the country, that whea Congress met.i the .Secretary ; of the Treasury declared, there waa urgent necessity lor an increase ot- taxation to the extent pf $42,000,000 a year; id other ' words, that without sveh Increase, there would be a deficit of that amount. . , f. . . , . . ;,;. Owing, partly perhaps, to changes In the tax laws, but chiefly to the commercial depression, the. national revenue had run down from $46,344,106 in the months of October and November1872, to rd5,l 06.373. for the cor responding months of 1873, . showing a decrease for those two months of 1873 as against 1672, $11,337,733. This falling off of the revenue, and - the general gloomy outlook, so . alarmed the Secretary of the Treasury that in his annual report he estimated " deficiency for the present fecal year of $13,530,000 for current expenditures, besides the sinking fund; wheieupon, he asked for increased taxation to tbe amount of $42,000,000. But now, after the expiration of three months, tho situation is entirely changed, the revenue is increasing, expenses have been reduced, estimates cut down and all prospects of a deficit is removed. The first of December tbe Secretary o the Treasury estimated the total revenue for the year ending July L, 1S73, at $271,304 310. It is now conceded by the Treasury Department that it will probably reach $288,000,000, and that the expenditures for the current year, can not well exceed r2S5,f00,OlX). Daring the months of January and February, all the financial signs were encouraging. In January the reduction of the debt was$l,135,211, against aa increase in January of last of $406,000, which is a better statement for this year by $2,500,000. - la February the expenditures were less than for the same month last 'year, and the reduction of the public debt was $2,500,000. an amount greater than the demand upon the Treasury for the sinking fund." It is apparent, therefore, that the finances of the country, so far (rom being, in a desperate condition, are steadily improving, and that the national treasury is much more likely to showa surplus than a deficit at the end of the year..- Congress has already accomplished much ia the way of -practical retrenchment, and will, we have ao doubt, accomidish still more. It will be wonderful indeed, and farauh s s tricking proof of oar elasticity as a people, if we shall come out of the very jaws, as it were, of the late crushing panic, not only without a decrease of revenue, or - an increase of debt, but with an actual increase; -
