wish to say something to you in regard to
the expenditures of the government, and
show that the party in power is as false
10 its other professions as it is to those it
has at different times set up on the slavery
asestion. will pass for few moments
to tina. subject ......
The expenses of the Government, as
you have probably often heard, have
increased enormously within few years
The amount Of money at the disposal of
government for this year is more than
one hundred millions OF dollars. This |
k.ow has sometimes been disputed; but
| hare here the official statement made by
the clerk Of the House of Representatives,
shown. that more than eighty one MILL
ious were specifically appropriated at the
last session of Congress, and there are in
dehnit, appropriations to pay CLANS the
precise amount of which is not yet known,
which amount at the lowest estimate to
three millians and half, making over
eighty. four million, and there is an
uaexpcudcd balance of app, opriation
made last ycar, amounting to moro than
sixteen millions. These sums alto gether
make more than A hundred millions of
dollars, a. the disposal of the Admins
traiioa for tho present fiscal year. ! know
it is said that it is unfair to charge all this
to this year; that a surplus will remain
uthe end of this year to be carried to the
next list; but think it is much NOR ,
likely that the administration will come in
with deficiency bill and ask for some
ten millions more, a. they did at the last
Congress, than that any surplus will
remain. The expenses of the govern
ment during the administration Of Cen
eral Pierce were $z32, o20,632. This
isnrorc tAaa all the expenses CT the gov
ernmrmt from 100, when it was organ
lied for thirty years together, including
tho war with Great Britain in 1872.
Gen, Pierce expended moro money durin.
four years Of peace than our government
expended fur the first thirty years after
its orsani1atio,. Ia 1923, the crpend-
lures Of the Government for all purposes,
exclusive If the public debt, were 50, 11s4,
lA59. In 1857, the expenses of the
Government, exclusive Of the public debt,
were s65, 032 559.78. The Irot rot.i, &C
co'diag to tho population in 1923, was "a
cents on each individual. Pro rata, in
1857 was 81 - per man 81 cents to 81.
q, according to population. Now these
fsc's ought to attract the attention of the
country; but perhaps if were to state in
detail some Of the wastefulness of this
Government, some Of the means by which
these expenses have been increased, i,
would strike some minds mnre forcibly
viii call your attention to the city Of
Chicago. You have custom house
located here, aBd in 1882, er for the fsca
year endlag ia Juno 1888, the last year
Of Fillmore's administration. there was
collected a. Chicago slil ,soss6. Six men
we're employed to c,llsct it, anl they were
paid $3.50 Il That was little over
two p2r cent For the year ending June
Both, 1886. there was collected at Chicago
Sll5,Gf2 ~ Sixteen men were EN-.
pIoyed Ia its collection, and they were
paid Sl+,3lj % for dung it. Now ash
you, living right here as you 10, is there
any reason for this increased expenditure!
Jan yga tell me any reason why it cost
ten per cent tie last fiscal year, ard tc
the revenue at this port, and only little
over two per cent. four years ago. Ii
there any reason for it except that th'
goFernmeut wanted to shower the money
upon Fayo1itcs. Yes there is Il reason.
don't know what it is. t:'The Demo
cratic party must be sustained. Laugh
ter aRl applause think that is thu
best reason, renewed laughter The,
must sassain the Office holders. Blu
Chlea-o i Gully single case. | have th'
offelai report here, aud | will state few
othar Cases to show yol how the govern
ment cHPsaIs money. There are soal'
other POINTS where tho expenditures TO
eolieel.n. the revenue were much wors
hnn ut this point At Wilmington, Del
svarc, th@rc vas collected in 1857, 81,
ool95. How many men do you suppos
took to collect that amount, and hoV
much do you suppose they got for IT. |
