UNABLE. TO AGREE.
Mr.. Randall has reported that thl
Conference Committee on the Legislative
Executive and Judicial bills have beer
unable 10 agree. Adebate ensued Whicl
Mr.. Randall put stop 10 by moving til
previous question. The republicans
desiring further time for discussion re
sorted 10 fillibustering processes.
GARFIELD AFTER cox.
The fllibustering move was finally
prevented by Randall yielding ten min
utes for Garfield and ten minutes for
Cox 10 reply. Garfield replying to the
charges Of Cox Of extravaganza on The
part OF the Republican party, said:
would like to know where, the gentleman
has'been for the last 8 or 10 years.
would like to know what he has read and
what he has heard, and what he has re-
membered, that he should make a state
ment such as he has made on his own re-
sponsibility and should send ID the coun'
Try. Does not the gentleman know that In
1865 tie expenditures Of the government
were 81 ,297, 800, and why were they ST.,
297, 500? II was because eleven States
and all the assistance that those eleven
States could get from those who would
not help to prevent the rebellion
piled up the enormous, awful debt Of s.,
500, 100000 for the faithful people Of the
country 10 meet. That load which was
heaped on the shoulders Of the laborinG
people, an honest nation felt bound "a
pay; did he Cox and his. help topre:
vent it, or did they do all that belonged
to his class Of opinions TO help
to pile up the debt and to compel the m
tion to pay it, Isay 81 ,297, $4,000 were
paid that year. OF course it was an ex'
traordinary amount, but in the year fol
lowing $500, 100000 were paid over the
Federal country to meet the necessary e1.
penses Of the war. But since then we
have steadily reduced the expenditures oi
the country. In every year in the last
ten years, except two, in which there was
slight increase, we have reduced
them from $500, 900, 900 to ,S263, ,000, 900,
It has been q STEADY and. constant
downward grade toward the old level oi
peace, and the gentlemen knows il. He
Is moi party blind to every fact in his
country's history. He knows that for
the last four years We have been fighting
steady battle in favor Of q reduction ol
expenditures. He knows, moreover,
that when all were overwhelmed by the
proposition to enlarge the public build
ings and to begin great and enormous ex.
penses, he was a leading member from
New York to plunge US into the expense
OF the great postOffice building in that
city-a great work, and a work which
probably ought to have been done. But
lie was foremost in pressing ii on the
House, and when, two years ago, the
chairman Of the Committee on Appropri'
atiois, instructed by that committee, at
tempted to restrict the expense OF that
public building,
he JOINED ALL AROUND
on his side with the men on this TO pre-.
vent il. II comes, therefore, with i'll
grace from him 10 rise in his place and
taunt US with having made no more re-
duction than we have made. When the
gentleman goes away to a distant, turbu.
lent, stormy, popular assemblage and
talks about G4,OOO,00O OF reduction
made by his party in this Houses esti-
mates for a year, Of 100000 below the
appropriations Of last year.
DOUBTLESS HE KNOWS WHEREOF HI
...--I u .APR1RAis.. 80
Does he not know that 100000 o.
that has no right to be counted becauseii
is a'reappropriation which has not ap'
pearied IN the figures. Does he know bis
side OF the House has left out OF the appro
priation Of this session 1000, 900 to pay
The Judgment q the Court Of Claims and
Supreme Court Of the United States, and
that II they mean to leave that amount
f' ~ THEY MEAN 10 REPuDIATE
the solemn obligations OF the Govern.
ment, and he calls that reduction. Here
is a great public building for which
$1,000, 600 Is asked for the War and
Navy Departments, and they give 5000,
900 and call that a,saying Of over mil
lion.
LET THE NAVY AND WAR DEPARTMENT.
DuRN UP,
and where will the saving be and wher'
will the responsibility come? II that
what they call saving let the country
know it. When fhe gentleman goes 10 /
great, stormy popular convention ant
says that the army can be dispensed viii
till November next and that the Indian
can be got along with, he Is reminded o
the bloody news which came to-day Of
HUNDREDS OF OUR SOLDIERS
having fallen in death because We have
not had an adequate army TO keep dowr
the Indians - - 2.
Mr.: Randall (ihtersuptingl-W no,
use the troops that are now in the Soutl
instead OF being on the frontier? f,
Mr.. GarGeld-And all this is done be
cause the gentlemen want 10 make an i'm
preston until after the election is over
and then they will come in here ant
make up by deficiency all they have cos
in the public policy by ruinous delays
Notwithstanding all their party wrath,
will help in all honorable means 10 re
duce where reduction is possible. Ihav,
complimented the other side Of The HousC
for reductions, believing the expenditure
may be reduced from SlA000,0 900 to SIS,
000,00O. To-day We are informed tha
the Senate agrees 10 reduction to thl
extent Of S2S, ,0O0,0 900, and yet these gen
tlemen stand up here to make an impres
sion on the country that they are the hon
est men, and that they are saving the hon
est, hard working people, while in fact
THEYARE sWINDLSa THE PEOPLE
who don't know whereof these gentlemen
are affirming. Now l happen to know
that q. large number Of the very best anC
most popular men on that side Of tn
house don't agree with your policy, the,
don't agree with the course OF yodf con
duct in that regard, but they submit 10 |
as matter Of dictation.
