crnment, until confess scc they can make up
any sort Of a statement from their figures.
But shall not undertake to analyzc their state
mcnts to-day will say to- you, however, that
the expenditures Of your Government In lSO,
the last ycai previous fo the war, were in round
numbers nearly SOl,v0OtJl. by this mean the
net ordinary expenditures. And then say TO
you that the expenditures last year the net or
dinary expenditures were l5aV0,OOO or more
than two and half times. | can not go into tie
detail, but hold in my hand the report ~ the
Register Of the Treasury giving the expenditures
Of the Government from the time Of its fOunda-
tlun down 30 the end Of the last fiscal year. Aud
IN this statement Is included the expense Of tho
Government under different heads - fIr the
navy for the army. and for the civil list fpreAn
intercourse, the Indians, &c. But there islclt
uut of II all that Is paid un account Of the public
debit all that is paid ON the account of Interest
is taken out
DoUTwELLs STATEMENT ASALYzED.
NOW" Mr.. Boutwell, says, I'VE will give you
very different statements" and II had time
TO anayze it could show you how Incorrectly
ports the expenditures Of the War Department
In his official report H. one place a. only SbWO,-
OOO, but he leaves out Ss.UOOCO. That Is pretty
biz sum to leave outY lie did not take into ac-
count the $s.WOUOOthe War Department received
for the -ale of arms which went to France. The
It. When he made up hts statement he did
not take that into account. Hardly TO-. he
another thing: when he made up his account
of tho ordinary expenses OF the tiovrrnmcnt for
rectly. He wants TO reduce the expcnIi-
lures to show that the Government Is ecOnOml-
cally managed, He says aRuod many Of the ex-
pcnscs II the War Department are not ordinary
expenses and why2 Because they grew out of
the war. Now, what has the war which endt d
seven years agu, to do with the War Department
now II ought not to have anything to do
with IT, lie dcducts $l6,0N,OJ0 on accurut
of the expenses which he says do not belong
arisen In consequence Of the war. lie mi lit
just a. well deduct the whole S3j,0Oooo0 that
constitute all the expenses Of the army we have
now, and put 1t down To the credit of tho war
which ended seven years ago. So want To- warn
YOU, my friends, when you sec this statement,
which was made first In the House Of Repre-
scntatiycs hy Mr.. Dawes, that It is a table made
vi in the Treasury Department, which under
takes 90 show that the expenses now are les
than they were before the war, and that II j. not
a correct statement. 10 l. not a fair statement
and Il Is put forth to blind aud n,slcad the poo

they arc holdil, ont false colorS to deceive YOU.
