him, and will close these extracts with
single passage from his speech delivered

Observe how Republican president
and Republican administration have
retrenched and reformed our civil service
during the last seven years. In 1869
there were 54,207 persons on the govern
ment payroll. In 1921 the roll had
grown to 57,905. In 1873 the swelling
process had reached $1,000. And in
1876 we have glorious summing up
OF 94,1l9. To run the federal machine
under Republican rule requires just 49,
562 more employees than under Democra-
tic rule. And when Democratic house
endeavors to shake Oft few hundred OF
these treasury leeches, Republican SEN
ate declares that it Is incompatible with
the interests Of the public service" Tax
payers had better cut out these facts and
figures and show them to the next man
who talks about Republican reform.
They are literally "knock. down argu-
ment," which appeals as strongly to the
head as to the pocket.
