REPUBLICAN ExTRAyAdANcE'
Is u party that since 1865 has re-
ceived from the people more than for
ty.two hundred millions of money and
paid but about five hundred millions OF
debt competent TO cconomizo and re-
trench ? What has become of all these
millions? In the increase OF civil OK
penscs, in the multiplicity of officials,
in jobs and peculation, are found much
of the loss, We have expended in
those years for navy about s275, ,O00,-
900, and as result thereirom we have
ships which one OF the witnesses be-
fore the naval investigating committee
declared were neither fit TO fight nor
run away. The committee OF investi-
gauon OF Federal Offices in Louisiana,
say From all the circumstances the
conviction IS forced on the minds oi
your committee that all or nearly all
OF the entire sum oil money represent
ca py tne vouchers referred 70, was
absolutely stolen Inc number OF
these vouchers was often increased
taking each month large sums OF mon
ey Illegally IRON the treasury. Inc
report OF the investigation OF the gov
ernmeht pruning once declares mat
"lho cost ana charges oil the work done
lor congress ana Executive Depart
ments are exorpitant ana greatly IN
excess Oh wnat the same couio DO done
ior by private parties; that Its man
agemeht IS extravaBant 10 o degree
that would bankrupt any private es'
tapiishment IN the country, ana that
the printer has drawn money IRON the
United States Treasury on false vouch-
ers.
Tho committee on expenses IN the
department oil justice report that I'm
many instances Marshals take receipts
from their Deputies Tor thrce-iourths
OF the amount OF their gross earnings,
but do not pay them one-half OF the
amount stated IN the receipt. Thus,
IN one instance, a Marshal takes his
Deputy's receipt Tor s3,2O5.S3 and only
pays him $3.50. Again, he takes re-
ceipt for s3,533.17 and pays him only
Sl,O00" Two hundred thousand dol
lars were appropriated by Congress
since 1870 to be expended under the
direction OF the Attorney General, and
no vouchers were rendered except the
receipts OF IL. Z. Whitley, Chief of the
Secret Service Department, for large
amounts as drawn by him in bulk.
Inc committee on military affairs, re
porting ON contracts Tor soldiers head
STONES say "that inc awarding oil the
contracts ior nead-stones were made
IN violation OF law, ana show dlsre-
garu oi oiiciai duty that the contracts
were not awarded 10 the lowest re-
sponslble bidder as required by law J
