DEMOCRATIC INFRINGEMENT.
The Reductions Hayes BragS Of Really Made by

the House OF Representatives.
Washington, Sept 6.--In his speech in st. Paul,
Hayes shows the advance Of Democratic notions
Of retrenchment by parading reductions In the
expenditures Of the Government largely due to
the Democratic majority in the House. The an
nuRl recapitulation Of the net expenditures In
the last fifteen years, and which makes every pos
sible allowance for the deficiency appropriations
shows that the largest annual reduction made In
the ten years covered by Hayes's figures must be
credited to the Appropriation bills passed at the
first session Of the Forty. fourth Congress, re-
ducton twice the size of the annual average re.
duction. Nearly half the reduction put forward
by Hayes as made in five years was made in a
single year by the same House. Had II not been
for these reductions the amount raised by taxa
ton an amount which has shrunk not owing to
the repeal Of taxes In the past three years, but
owing to the reduction Of business, must have
failed 10 meet the expenditures Of the Govern
ment, and instead Of saving from twenty to thirty
millions a year, which the Democratic House
made possible, tn national Treasury would have
run behind year by year, the contributions to the
sinking fund would have been suspended and
instead Of the credit Of the Government improv.

credit must have grown WoTne.

party as an excess Of expenditures upon their

years. 1t does not represent all that was sought to

Here, then, we have stated for each fiscal year
the actual net ordinary expenditures for the years
1875 and 1876 under the appropriations made by q
Republican Congress, against which we place the
expenditures for the same purposes for the year
1S77snd 1878, under the influence Of a Democratic
House, showing aa actual saving Of S55, ,372 8O3
made under the greatest difficulties placed in the
way OF retrenchment by Republican Senate and

Rep.-Were not the reductions in the eleven
great appropriation bills, exclusively Of the Pen.

same bills passed by the 43rd Congress greater
than the reduction Of S55 900, 900 on the expendi

Democrats had control of the House of Repre-

Mr. BIN the eleven great bills for the support

INCREASE OF EXPENDITURES SINCE
THE WAR.

This shows gradual increase for 1876, the last
fiscal year the Republicans controlled both
Houses. Of St8 6O 4S557 over the expenditures for
1871, and an increase Of expenditures for 1874 as
compared with 1871, Of SAL $40 63S34. These fig
ures show positive increase Of appropriations
for the ordinary expenditures Of the Government
under Radical rule as we reCede from the war pc.

When we consider, too that the purchasing power
of the dollar has greatly augmented since 1871,
these enormous increases Of public expenditures
appear still more inexeusable and criminal.

very heavy decrease of expenditures as com.
