Thus is not uue-as the Republic. speaking for Mr.
Meredith the Secretary OF the Treasury, assertstha
Sin the years s47 and s4s therefore, our expenses
ceeded our income s6957 ,523 On the contrary the
statement utterly untrue and false notwithstanding the
cabinet organ asserts that 1--WE cite from printed docu
ments SO far from its being true. the fact is that
receipts exceeded expenditures in the Of nearly
tlco millions Of dollars
How dares the organ Of the cabinet speaking for the
Secretary Of the Treasury--we hope without his au-
thorty-to put forth such monstrous and shocking mis-
representations. to deceive and mslead the people
But this is not all The cabinet organ arrays the sums
to be paid under the several provisions Of the Mexican
treaty as part of the items which go to make up this
pretended deficiency. These sums are:
The amount due Mexico May 80. 1919 Ss,72o.ooo
The to be paid to Mexican claimants un. ooo
der the treaty 3t2oO,OOo
Total sIo.5Io,ooo
Now, the reader will be surprised to learn that the
two first items of the amount above included in Mr..
Walkers estimates for the years ls4s and 1850, and were
actually appropriated by Congress its last session. and
we have no doubt will be covered by the receipts dur
ing these years
II will be seen, by the following estimates Of Mr..
Walker for 1850, that he made ample allowance for all
reasonable expenditures during that year The estimates
of income and expenditure are, in the aggregate, fol-
lows:

The whole amount of appropriations by Congress for
the year 1850 $35.429.o4i; which, if the result
shall show the estimates Of Mr. Walker TO be correct,
and all the money appropriated shall be paid out. will
leave actual balance in the treasury July l. 1850,
Of s2,s24,e53.
This is the actual and true state Of the case and is
based upon facts which we have derived from public
documents. They show that the statements in the Re-
public utterly false. and hugely and monsrously
so as 10 leave the irresistible conviction upon the mind
that they are intentionally So The facts which have
pende oper the income the years ls47 and ls4s that
instead Of there being eresss Of oUer THlRTY'SlX
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, there cas in both those years
an actual balance in the treasury.
Now, what pallation is there for these
srous perversions OF the TRUTH and these bold, hardy,
and unblushing attempts to impose falsehood upon the
people, instead Of the truth We cannot think that Mr.
Meredith the cabinet authorized the Republic to put
forth such shocking msstatements although that paper
speaks by authority. II the Secretary of the Treasury
has authorized such perversions and Misrepresentation
OF tie truth. il the cabinet in body have authorized
them, there is measure OF public indignation too
great to be visited upon them. The members OF the
cabinet and ALL and particularly the Secretary OF the
Treasury il to themselves, to their honor and
