Indeed, it was proposed under that ad-
ministration to go much further, and in
l841 to reduce the expenditures below
twenty millions and in 1912, and af-
forwards, to reduce them to only sew
enteen or eighteen millions. (See the
annual Treasury reports in December,
1899, and 1910.
Reduced as the expenses thus appear
to have been, it is also fact that their
amount would appear still lower, by
many millions, if the objects which
were extraordinary and temporary were
deducted.
By the following extract from an Of
fetal table, It appears, that from the
commencement of Gen. Jackson's first
term TO 1889, inclusive, over half of
the whole expenditure, yearly, was not
on matters of a permanent and ordinary
character, but on those arising from
various exigencies, such as before al
luded to, and which, in the opinion of
i majority Of both parties in Congress,

To the Editors Of the Enquirer.
Washiagtoa City, Esd March, 1914.
Gentlemen: In some late number of
your paper, twas stated, rthatI. T. would
prepare an expose Of the expenditures the
liabilities, and the public debt, as they
existed at the close of the administrator
and as stood at the expiration of the two
years Of the new administration. A
pamphlet had been placed in my hands
not only containing egregious misrepre-
sensations, but tending greatly to con-
fuse and mislead the public mind by a
new and perverted meaning of terms. |
had promised at some leisure moment to
examine the statements contained in this
pamphlet, / have been so constantly
engaged in other matters, which did not
admit of postponement, that hitherto |
have not had time to make full inves-
tigation, founded upon facts as exhibit
ted by the public documents and records.
now enclose you 'the Expenses OF
the past and present Administrations
contrasted,' and also 'the National Debt
as it was. and as it is These papers
have been carefully prepared and exam
ined, and their statements, sustained as
they are by public documents, cannot be
denied. And am gratifled to eommu-
nicate papers, thus carefully revised and
unquestionably sustained. to any mere
statements of my own, because they will
90 before the People in a more authori-
tatixe and convincing form.
Facts from The Record, if they are mys-
tifet. and perverted, will contribute but
little to proper, comprehension of the
subject, and to the advancement of truth.
The statements to be found in the PAM
phIet styled Facts from the Record a
bound in a n.isapplication of the facts
That pamphlet confounds mere liabilities
of the Government with debt contracted
under the Administration Of Mr.. Van
Buren,, and devolved upon the succeed
ing Administration for payment.
For instance: the appropriations neces
sariIy to be made under Indian Treaties
are termed liabilities left by MIR. Van
Buren's administration to be paid by the
| Wing Congress; and these liabilities ~
the ew-langled financial dialect of the
pamphlet are. part of the debt of the pre-
ceding administration. So shallow de-
vice. so simple preversion of terms
ought TO suffice TO stamp true estimate
upon the whole production. Indeed the
whole pith and substance of the pamph-
let rest upon subteriuscs like the one JUS
stated in reference, TO Indian aunuities
We have been forming treaties with The
Indian tribes since the commencement
of the Federal Government, and ..most
of the treaties contain stipulations re
curing annual appropriations of money.
| To fulfil these treaty stipuations, and to
preserve. The public faith, these appro-
priatons have to be made annually, un.
der every administration. For 1842.
they amount to 1,125.6SS dolls. and is
made. as stated, part of the liabilities
and therefore debt, of Mr.. Van Buren,.

trenchment in expenses there, where
Clay wings outnumber all opposed to
them-the great leader himself got up
a committee of retrenchment, and had
his colleague placed at the head of it.
But, incredible as it must seem, never,
to the present moment-7neyer has a
single report. of any, kind come from
that committee; never "a single dollar
OF retrenchment been proposed; never
a shilling tried to be. saved to the pub
lie treasury, nor single burden on the
people recommended to be lightened.
From this signal example let an in
telligent yeomanrylearn the utter worth
lessness of all .whig professions as to
economy and retrenchment in the pub
lie expenses.
Let it not be forgotten that, up to
this session, the Clay wings have had
decided majority in both houses of
Congress, over both democrats and
Tyler men; and have thus controlled
the laws authorising expenses as we'll
as receipts. 4
What prudent citizen can rally to the
polls for the election of spendthrits
like these for leaders ?-who kept the
promises Of frugality and retrenchment
to the ear, but break it to the hopes.
who prostrated the public credit at one
time, in the close of 1871 and first half
of 1912, so as not to be able to borrow
a dollar at par, and never restored it
till adopting democratic counsels and
taking back the proceeds of the public
lands-who became for months unable
to meet their debts, and. if let alone,
would have required bankrupt law
for the General Government itself, as
ample as that they passed to sponge out
the private debt of many Of their politl-
cal friends and public officers
