1 Plea for EconOmy.

Mr.. Willard, of Vermont, offered in the House
on Thursday the following resolutions. which
were referred to the Committee of the Whole
ReS0ire3, That while the United States ara
owing debt off over 400, ,000, 900 and the peonls
are heavily burdened with taxation that IN
creases the price of every necessity of life. the
most rigid economy in all public expenditures is
a matter Of the first importance, and is impers-
lively demanded by every friend and upbolder
Of the nation, as well as by every per5on whose
labor, clothes, or bread are taxed TO furnish IN.
mohey disbursed by the general Government
Resoirsd further, That a reduction of taxa-
tion to the lowest possible point consistent with
the maintenance Of the public credit, and with
such a condition Of the Treasury as will make il
possible, at an early day in the future. to fund
the debt, in whole or in part, at reduced rate
OF Interest, Is insisted upon by every section of
the country, and should not be lost sight Of in
any action Congress may be called upon to take.
ResOiee I further, That any acquisition of
foreign territory by treaty, cession, or annexa-
tion by the United States for which consdera
tran in money or its equivalent in the assump
ton Of any debt or obligation Of the people of
such territory increases at once the expenditures
of the United States and entails prospective
annual increase Of the same, and is At war with
every measure Of economy now pressed upon the
attention Of Congress. It is a direct assault
upon the public credit and il not called for bv
eNigency of national affairs.
