Economy In public expenditure is duty
that cannot innocently be neglected by
those entrusted with the control of money
drawn from the people for public uses.
It must be confessed that our apparently
endless resources, the familiarity of our
people with immense accumulltions of
wealth the growing sentiment among them
that the expenditure of public money
should in some manner be to their immedi-
ate and personal advantage; the indirect
and almost stealthy manner in which q
large part of our taxes are exacted, and
a degenerated sense of official accountability
have led to growing extravaganza In gov
ernmental appropriations.
The duty of public economy is also of
immense Importance in its intimate and
necessary relation to the task now in hahd
of providing revenue to meet COVER nment
burden of crate taxation. After a hard
struggle tariff reform is directly before
us. Nothing so important claims our atten-
tion and nothing so clearly presents itself
as both an opportunity and duty-an op-
portunity to observe the gratitude of our
fellow citizens, a duty imposed upon us by
our oft-repeated professions and by the
emphatic mandate of the people. AILer full
discussion, our countrymen have spoken In
favor of this reform, and they have con-
| fided the work of its accomplishment to
the hands Of those who are solemnly pledged
to It.
If there is anything in the theory of o rep
resentation in public places of the people
and their DESIRES If public officers are really
the servants of the people, and II politica
promises and professions have any binding
force, our failure to give the relief 80 Ions
