But even this may be lost. Take, for in
stance, the collections OF internal revenue, in
which saving could have been safely effected
upon last years appropriation. But instead
of stopping at the point where economy ends
and waste begins the House bill reduced the
number of districts and the appropriations so
low as to render morally certain loss of reve-
nue. greater than the GboUe entire Sdving. The
same thing is true as to the appropriations for
mints the reduction of clerical force below
the point of efficiency and safety in the trans
action of public business; the refusal to pro-
vide for the preservation and repairs of navy
yards and naval vessels; the denial of means
for searching the rebel archives, whereby mil
lions may be lost to the Treasury, and the
general and almost universal mutilatons Of
the public service.

Under this head are included all the ex-
penditures of the Executive, Legislative and
Judicial Departments There is a natural and
inevitable increase incident to the growth of
population and territory.
The following table will show that these ev-
penditures were grossly excessive in 1856. as
compared with former years, while for 1876,
as compared with 1886, after dedueting the
amounts cb7rgeable to the war and the differ
ence between gold and currency, the ratio Of
increase as compared with the growth Of popu-
