The So.called ExtERVAgAncO Of the Repub.
llcan Congress n Real Benefit.
Special Dispatch 70 ls IAtsatO1aH.
WARRINGTON, D. O., March 9.-It ID
time now for the Democrats to raise a
howl about the Republicans "garoting
the Treasury" and denouncing the Re
publican Congress for wiping out the
surplus. Eighteen months ago the
Democrats could not find words strong
enough to condemn the Republicans for
"piliDg up monstrous surplus in the
Treasury" which they declared should
be put into circulation.
An examination Of the Congressional
Record for two years under this admin
iHtratlon will not disclose an appropria-
ton OF single dollar that could be
classed as an extravaganza which Con-
gress could have prevented. There was
no "robber river and barbor bill" passed,
at which the Democrats could howl.
There was no salary grab. No salaries
were increased for partisan purposes.
The surplus was put into circulation
through heavy increases in pensions,
which come directly into the hands Of
the masses; the construction Of public
buildings, which are owned by the Fed.
eral government, and prove choice
business investment for the govern.
ment; public improvements Of various
kinds, including surveys OF public
lands, enabling settlers to enter the pub.
lie domain. The Republicans have done
exactly what they should have done.
They have made money more plentiful,
unloosed the accumulatious, without
being wastelul. There never WAS 50
much money in the hands Of the people
as now.
One thing may bs expected by the
next House OF Representatives, which
will be Democratic. A heavy deficiency
in the running expenses OF the Govern.
ment will be created by q refusal to make
sufficient appropriations to meet the de.
mands OF the executive departments.
Then there will be an accumulated sur.
plus. There is always surplus when
Congress refuses to pay the honest
debts OF the Government, and that kind
Of false econmoy is practiCed.
