RETRENcHMENr AND Reform were prom ised
to the People in 1923, during the contest between
Mr.. Adams and General Jackson, by the leading
supporters of the last named gentleman, while the
former was charged with extravaganza of the public
monies. Have the promises that were made by
Gen. Jackson through his accredited organs been
fulfilled? The following statistical table of facts,
drawn from the Report of the Treasury Department
answer this question.
From 1925 to 1928, including the four years of
MIR. Adams administration, the average annual ex-
penditures amounted to 12,625 AIS SO.
During Gen. Jackson's administration, the ex-
pendtures were as follows:
