WASHINGTON, February 12.-The fea-
ture in the House, to-day, was the
speech of Mr.. Dawes, principally on
the condition of the treasury, in which
he 1nd1lged not in figures of rhetoric,
but in official figures. The speech was
assevere arraignment of the financial
condition Of the country. He showed
. deficit of So, 600, 900, which might be
decreased somewhat by turning in of
unexpended balances. and criticised
thoroughly previous Congresses of re,
cent, years for Wastefnl appropriations,
citing several extrayagant appropria-
tions. The speaker eaid NO party could
afford to go to the country with in
creased taxation, but, at the same time,
lntimated that the tax on tea and coffee
should be restored; that on whiskey and
tobacco increased. Alluding to the ne
cessities OF the treasury, he said it was
the duty of Congress to resort to ono of
these ecessities-increased taxation,
loan, or reducing exp6nses-to alleviate
Its condition; and regarding taxation,
he said, if this measure is reaorted to.
IL viii De tho nrs5 time in the country's
history when the oountry's industries
had been taxed to meet current ex-
penses; of previous reductions, he said
we went too for in relieving the country
from taxation more rapidly than circum.
stances justified. He now thought all
idea of increased taxation must be
abandoned. A proposition to borrow
money, he would consider fatal to the
interests OF the country. The speech
occupied about two hours in it's delivery,
and creates profound impression. No
more violent illustration of financial
mismanagement could have been ut
tered, even by an opponent of the pre-
sent party In power.
