The record-union., 1892-08-09

WASHINGTON, Aug.S.-By authority of
the House, Holman will print his speech
in the Congressional Record tomorrow,
dealing with the appropriations made at
the last session of Congress from DEM
ocratic standpoint. He says:
1.-The appropriations made by this ses-
sion of Congress, including the perma-
nent appropriations, show reduction of
$50, 529, POI under the appropriations of the
last Congress, or reduction equivalent
to 100000 for each Congressional District
in the United States. But for purposes of
comparison the amount of the river and
harbor bill, sd, 153,6lS, should be de-
Quoted from the appropriations of this
session, for the reason that no river and
harbor bill passed at the last session of
Congress. Against the appropriations of
which those made at this session should
logically be contrasted, without the river
and harbor bill, the appropriations this
year were S54, 6S2, 800 less than the whole
appropriations made at the second session
of the Fifty first Congress-"
This is how Holman reaches his conclu-
sions: Second session of the Fifty-tirst
Congressional, as stated in official

mated by the treasury under indefi-
mite items in the Sundry Civil Act for

quired under the indefinite appropria-
tons to refund the direct tax, $l5, 227 900;
total, S54l ,230. 672. First session total as
stated in the official tables, S463, 39S, $40:
expenditures reported by Treasurer under
indefinite items IN Sundry Civil Act for
pay and bounty claims, 81 49,, 059; add
expenditures reported by treasury under
no npt tinnS
ing the last Congress, and not included
in the official tables, 500, 695, 67S; total,
$40, 456, 24S.
Total appropriations of the Fifty-first
Congress, 81 OBS, $3.50, 921. Average appro-
priations by the Fifty-first Congress for
each of its two sessions, S5l7, 81, 400.
The total appropriations made at this
session amount to S507, 70l 1880, including
the river and harbor bill, being So, 529,-
291 less than those made at the last ses-
sion of Congress and, dedncting the river
and harbor bill, reduction of S54, 6S2, 800,
and in contrast with the average appro-
priations for the two sessions OF the last
Congress the reduction is $40, l42, ESQ.
Holman states that SIS, 527 ,602 Of the
appropriations made at the session Just
ended were pursuant to laws (such as the
sugar bounty, pensions, etc. y enacted by
the preceding Congress.
He adds: Il admit the results of the
pI6SGLb SOSSlOn VI SOuSE6SS Will IOllV
meet the expectations of the Democratic
party, but there are facts that the country
will consider Incorporating appropriations
OF the present session with those of the
last Congress-"

tons Committee, reviews the appropria-
tons of the past session as follows: "The
appropriations bill, as they passed the

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN IN ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO, Aug. s.-The Democratic
State Central Committee met here to-day
and decided not to open the campaign in
Illinois until September, although the
Republicans will open the fight August
18th. The proposition to invite Grover
Cleveland to the State did not find favor
with the party leaders, most of them be-
lieving the educational question and
other State issues offered greater oppor-
tunities of success, and made it advisable
not to take any action which would tend
to divide Illinois voters on strict party
lines this fall.
