Figures Which VIII Not Benefit the Re-

The republican claim that quite as
much extravaganza was displayed dur
ing the recent session of congress as
was INDUCED in by the much criticised
Fifty-frst congress has been met by
certain democratic statements and
comparisons Mr.. Holman. chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tions, shows that the amount appropri-
ated at the late session was actually
less by more than S33, 500, 900 than the
appropriations of the preceding ses-
sion, when no river and harbor bill
was passed. Leaving out the river and
harbor appropriation, the comparison
shows over S54. 600, 600 in favor of the
present congress But OF the appro-
priations made this year nearly $50,
100000 was rendered unavoidable by
legislation of the Fifty-frst congress
for continuing OUTLAWS, and if that
could have been eliminated the total
for the first session of the present con-
gress would have been less by over
S113. 900, 900 than that of the last ses-
sion of the previous congress and less
by S65, 600, 900 and more than that of
the first session of the E'ifty-frst con-
gress. Representatives Dockery and

Desperate Resorts of the Doomed Re-
publican Party.
The advice of some repu bEcan organs
that President Harrison should re-
pudiate and put aside the force bill
issue in his expected letter of accept
ance, shows the desperate straits in
which the doomed organization finds
itself. 1t is asking of Harrison some
thing beyond the power of his accomp-
lishment He is capable of accepting
or rejecting anything that promises ad-
ditional strength to his candidacy, but
he cannot put aside the Platform
adopted by the delegated authority as
sem bled at Minneapolis Even could
he compass this feat there would re-
main the utterly impossible one OF
turning down the dominant element in
his party It holds higher than any
other consideration the possibility Of
retaining power and making firmer its
grip upon the affairs of the country
1t is unrestrained by the fact that the
entire country is now one and that
loyalty is the common possession OF
our united citizenship 1t has kept alive
the spirit of sectionalism and. for party
purposes, declined to recognize the
binding force of terms offered and ac-
copied upon the restoration of an I'M
divided country. It still plays the role
of conoueror and assumes the right OF
continued dictation as against those
who were restored to equal rights and
privileges and have kept faith under
the terms of their compact
1t is by this element that the force
bin is desired as part of national law,
and President Harrison is powerless to
change it, whatever the dictates of'poi-
icy in the premises The leaders OF
the party had the Objectionable plank

placed in their platform, and should
republican supremacy again be estab-
ished they would secure the passage
of the obnoxious measure Harrison
favors it, for he aided Davenport in
drafting it and lent his influence in
having Henry Cabot Lodge father it.
On the very day that the Minneapolis
convention adopted its platform Daven-
port was undergoing cross-examina-
ton conducted at Washington by Sena-
tor David B. Hill, and there admitted
the authorship of the bill, volunteering
the information that at some future
time he would renew the bill and urge
its passage. In this confession and
this threat is apparent the spirit of
federal aggression and partisan out
rage. Whatever MIR. Harrison may say.

while Arthur's per capita expenditure
is considerably above Cleveland's, Har-
rison's is much higher than Arthur's.
The plea that the increase of Har-

SMALL BUT COSTLY,
Comparative Cost OF the Cleveland and
Harrison Administrations.

Comparative Cost OF the Cleveland and
Harrison Administrations.
The Harrison administration is the
costiiest the country has ever had. 1t
has cost the people of the country 81
a head or S35 a family annually, as
against an average annual cost of only
So. ID for Cleveland and Sc. 43 for the
Garheld-Arthur administration. Even
when compared with the Garfield
Arthur administration, which was by
no means as economical as it might
have been, the cost of Harrison appears
In its true light as unprecedented.
Here are official figures giving the
total average annual expenditures, in
Guiding sinking fund and postal serv-
ice, and the average expenditure per
capita under two republican admins
trationS:
Harrison. Oh 449, 453 lo3
Here is an increase for Harrison over
the last preceding republican admins
tration amounting to IS cents per capita
per year, or a round 500, 1000, 600 year.
We give the figures of increase for
every head of population because some
repu bHcans endeavor to evade respon-
sibility for Harrison's extravaganza by
saying that this is a growing coun-
try" The figures per capita show that
his expenditures have increased much
above the increase in population. He
has made an increase of 9 per cent.
over the per capita expenditures and of
over 80 per cent. over the total expendi-
lures of the Garfeld-Arthur admins
tration. That is, he costs the people
per cent. q head more than Garfield and
Arthur cost them, and in the total per
year this increase makes 500, 900, 600,
or nearly third of the total sum ex-
pended annually under Garfield and
Arthur.
We have made this comparison OF
two republican administrations that
republicans may the better understand
how costly are Harrison's incompetency
and radicalism. Here is similar com
parison for three administrations:
