The facts subjoined are taken from the
New York Tribune from the recent
speech on the finances of Hon. Ellis Ii.
Roberts. They wore prepared 20 show
that on tho whole tho aggregate ex-
penses Of the government have not
been increasing very much in tho last
few years. By separating tho expen-
diturss into two classes, however, the
Tribune makes Mr.. Roberts figures
tell an unexpected and very different
story. That is 10 say, consider separately
the class of expenditures which, Of neces-
city and without the aid Of congress, are
constantly decreasing, and that second
class over which congress has entire con-
troll, and We have the subjoined result.
The tables are an official and comparative
statement Of the expenditures Of the gov
eminent for the period OF six months
