Total appropriations, Sl,jll ,O9O
Thus it will be seen that our Democratic,
Congress, which for years has given us nothing
in the way of appropriations for Rivers and
Harbors, now propose to dole out the miserable
pittance of million and a half of dollars, and
that most grugingly for our whole Atlantic
coast and immense inland Lake and River Nav
igation. And for this mere drop in the bucket
we are no doubt indebted more to the fact that
an important election is at hand tnan to any
disposition on the part of the Sham Democracy
TO indulge in anything approaching beneficent
legislation. They feel that they must 90 through
the motions of doing something for the people
in order to secure their votes for their anti
Improvement candidate for President. We
shall see whether the voters are disposed to be
caught by such cheap chat, The Wings will
of course offer amendments calculated to make
the bill something like what the interests OF
commerce and welfare of the People demand
and if the Loco Focos persist in their present
determination to vote down all such amend
mcnts, why, then We must take what they are
reluctantly disposed to give us, and trust to the
Idcs Of November for something better in thl
future.
We hope yctto see in the American Capito
a Congress which will not regard every meas
urc calculated to develop the resources of the
country and bring wealth, prosperity and hap
piness to the people, as nconstitutiona.-Tif
