THE ExPENCEs OF THE PAST 4
PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
CONTRASTED.
CoNrRAsTED.

The amount Of expenditures in gov
errmeut depends in part on ils genera
poIicy whether ex'ravsgsut or economi'
cal, aud in part on the eSgencies OF the
Iimes.
Looking le all these, ii is manifest
tha, lhe expenses under the adminis'ra
lion Of the wings have been much high
er, ADD less iusifablc, than ihose under
MIR. Van Buren. Though our oppo.
nenls ssssled his administration wl'h
many gross exsggetslions on this topic
and made numerous pledges OF reform,
il has turned out in ihls. 80 10 macy
other matters, that all those pledges
have been forfeited, and a deceived
community csn safely place no further
conf ienee either IN their statements OF
promises.
A moment 10 the proof Of this. The
exigencies thai affect the expenses dur
ing Mr.. Van Bureu's administration
were numerous. Among, The Florida
war was very bUrdeusome,the overflow
ing revenye, and the bank expansions
of 1885 and 1896, led TO larger sppro-
prislions than usual for the ex,ingulsh
meui Of Indiso titles, the clearing out oi
rivers and hsrbors, the erection of pub
lie buildings, !orls, and lighthouses,
and for several other objects deeply in
terestng 10 many parts OF The Union.
Under such strong impulses, the in
creased expenses Tor those objects were
generally voted for by both wings and
democrats. and could not be immediate
ly stopped, though their reduction be-
gan The very frsl year Of Mr.. Van Bu
ien's term, and was again and again
urged on The consideration Of Congress
by the proper organ Of the Treasury
Department. 1t will be seen by the
tabular statement, soon gwen, that the
actual expenditures were 10 this way
;essened several millions every year
during his term, till 10 tie last one,
(ls4o,) they equalled only about twenty
Two millions and third.
As conclusive evidence OF this reduc-
lion here is an exhibit, officially given
by ,ae pre- sent secretary of the Treasury
IN his anousl repOll Of December 8,
lS43 pages so and 81. Ii is the whole
expenditure for each year of Mr.. Van
Buren's sdministration, excluding only
the debt and treasury notes, as is usua
