bounties by Congress in money, public
lands, bonds, or by Endorsement, or by
pledge to the public credit to promote
special private industries or enterprises
OF corporations independent of the
question of the constitutional power of
Congress to make such grants, is unjust
and impolitic and in manifest conflict
with tho spirit of our republican in
situations, as it directly tends to create
and foster the wealth Of the favored
classes at the expense of the people
who bear the burdens of the Govern.
ment, and manifestly furnish undue
1acllltles for the enlargement of great
private estates-a policy the Govern
ment OF the people cannot justly or
safely encourage by any form of
favoritism in legislation

efficient and honest governments can
only be assured by frugal expenditure
OF public money, while unnecessary
and lavish expenditures under any and
all conditions leads to venal and cor.
rupt methods in public affairs, no money
ought to be appropriated by Congress
from the public treasury except such as
is manifestly necessary tc carry on the
several departments frugally, efficiently
and honestly administered.
