The appropriation for the Agricultural
Bureau ten years ago was included in the

The appropriation for the District Of
Columbia was included In the Sundry Civil
bill.
We may assume that in the ten years that
elapsed between the first session of the
Forty fourth Congress and the first session
of the Forty ninth the population Of the
country increased about 80 per
cent. This was the rate between
1870 and 1880. This would by
no means imply necessary increase of 80
per cent in the annual expense Of Coy m
ment. Thirty per cent, indeed, would be
a too liberal estimate Of the amount by
which tue appropriations for 1885, 81 onght,
in the natural growth Of population and
governmental expenditure, to exceed the
appropriations of 1861. Instead OF 80
per cent we find an increase of nearly ~
per cent.
