The last Congress spent over billion
dollars, and has passed into history as the
.,BilHon. Dollar Congress" While the ap-
preparations were unprecedented, the acts
of that Congress were such that the appro-
nriations were made continuous, aud made
billion dollar congresses certain for a few
Years thereafter. Senator Gorman, mem
her of the Senate Committee on Approprla-
tions. and who had closely examined into
the matter a year ago declared that the
expenditures ofthe Reed Congress, as great
as they were. would lie exceeded by sue
eee.ling congresses, and he estimated that
hy IN, year 1894 or 1895 the expenditures
on account Of pensions alone would reach
the enormous sum of two hundred millions,

land
MIR. Gorman's prediction has been verl-
ned. The appropriations of the present
Congress will be greater than that OF the
Billion Dollar Congress, but against this
must be charged deficit Of more than
fourteen millions for pensions coming over
from the Reed Congress.
