Holman as their fathers have been. The

Democratic statesmen who lave had
charge of the appropriation bills rush into
speeches and figures to prove that they
have reduced the appropriations over s2s,-
10000. OF course this chairman is from the
South and counts a cut in the pension ap-
economy. 1t turns out that the reduction
is just the size of the cut in the appropria-
ton for pensions After making allowance
for the cut in pensions. the appropriations
of this present Congress are greater than
those of last year by 1868, SIS. And these do
not include a dollar for new public build
ings and not a dollar to encourage the Gull
tivation of sugar by methods which have
made Germany and France the greatest
sugar-producing countries in the world.
But after all. expenditures, not appropria-
tions, count. for they tell the thing which
has been accomplished. The expenditures
for the fiscal year which ended June 80,
1894, aggregate 1855, 593, 1858. against $3.50, A.
1872 during the year previous. These are
good ngureS IN the aggregate, but where
has the reduction been made? In the ex-
penditure for pensions, the total for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1894. was s1H,-
10,2Si.96. against $3.50, 357, 557.S7 the year
previous, a cut of SIS, $50. 272.91, which is
made possible by d~isallowing more than
two-thirds of the pension claims passed
upon. The aggregate expenditures, as above
stated, during the last fiscal year, were
Sig 1854, 2O4.59 less than the previous year.
If. however, the pension payments had not
been reduced, as above stated, the ex-
penditures of the Cleveland administration
during the last fiscal year, outside of pen
sions. were 1.596. OSS.3 80, in excess of those
of the previous year. In other words, the
Cleveland reduction has been secured at
the expense of the pensfoner.

WHERE DEMOCRATS ECONOMIC.

The size of the annual appropriations of
Congress is, in the minds of a number of
men who get into that body. the measure
os craftsmanship. If. by sny sort of man
ipulation of figures. it can be made TO APP
pear that the appropriations of a given
Congress are large, no matter what the
cause, il is evidence Of extravaganza. If
it can be shown by the same methods that
the aggregate appropriations this year were
less than those of the year preceding. the
fact is heralded as evidence of statesman
ship and devotion TO the interests of the
people. Mr.. Holman has grown venerable
in this sort Of craftsmanship. The cry of a
billion dollar Congress" was very efTec-
tive against the Republicans in 1890. Even
now, in spite OF the fact that the succeed
ing Democratic Congress was also a bill
lion dollar Congress- the Democratic dem
agogues will still chatter about the Re-
publican Congress which voted away a

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF RAIL
ROADS.

There seems to be practical unanimity
among the leaders of the recent railroad
strike in favor of government ownership
of the railroads. Ex-dictator Debs declared
his belief that if the people owned and
operated the railroads "the service would
be greatly improved and the condition Of
the men would be better" Again he said,
Il believe that the government ownership
of the railroads is the logical conclusion
Other labor leaders nave testified to the
same effect. There is no reason to believe
that these men have given careful and
exhaustive consideration to the subject or
that they are looking at anything beyond
the supposed interests of the class they
represent. and even that from a narrow
point of view. Debs thinks that if the
government owned the railroads 1.-THE serv-
ice would be greatly improved,'' but who
is complaining about the service? Freight
and passenger rates are lower in this coun-
try now than in any other in the world
and the service in all respects is probably
equal to that in any other country. No
body will believe that Debs is worrying
about the railroad service or that he ia
vors government control because he thinks
the service would be improved. His real
reason doubtless is that he thinks govern
ment ownership of the roads would inure
to the advantage and benefit of the en-
ployes. That is by no means certain, but
if it were it does not involve the whole
question. The real problem is whether
government ownership of the railroads
would inure to the advantage not merely
of railroad employees but of all the people
and of public morals and good govern
ment. When the people are prepared to
assume a bonded debt of something like
100000 900 for the purpose of purchas-
ing the railroads with the consequent
heavy taxation incident to such a debt and
the creation of an army of government
employees who would vote as the party in
power directed it will be time enough for
them 10 give serious consideration to the
Debs scheme.
