and a half millions of dollars have been
relinquished by two biennial reductions
under the act of 1888, and probably as
much more upon the importation Of iron
for railroads by special legislation.
Public expenditures.
Whilst such has been our condition for
the last four years in regard to revenue,
we have during the same period, been
subjected to an unavoidable continuance
of large extraordinary expenses necessari-
~ growing out Of past transactions, and
which could notb be Immediately arreste d
without great prejudice to the public in
terest. Of these. the charge upon the
treasury in consequence Of the Cherokee
treaty alone, without adverting to others
arising out of Indian treaties, has already
exceeded five million of dollars; that for
the prosecution of measures for the re-
moval of the Seminole Indians, which
were found in progress, has been nearly
fourteen millions; and the public build
ings have required the unusual sum Of
nearly three millions.
It affords me, however, great pleasure
