TNTTMELY EXTRAV1GdNC

There is the usual dispute about the amount
Of appropriations, and Mr. Dockery ana o'her
Democratic statesmen are claiming much credlt
for Congress on the plea that it has voted away
less money than the Congress Of 1890. MI
Savers asserts that the total Of appropriations
Is S31S7 so less than the total AT the first sos
sion Of the List Congress. But conscientious
men, on the other hand. will condemn Congress
because 1t has dishonesty held back money
which, under existing laws. il was bound to vote
for the payment OF public obligations. II has
refused TO give S11.O0O,O0O 10 the growers OF
sugar this year. although no law repeating the
bounty has vet been signed, and II would De an
act OF bad faith for the Government TO make
such a law to take effect this year, after the
growers have expended substantially all the
money required 10 produce this years crop. re-
living upon the formal contract Of the Nation In
the act Of 1890. That act stipulated that for
n fixed term Of years, n certain bounty should
be paid to encourage the production OF sugar,
and the planters are legally advised that the
bounty can he collected. SO positive Is their
legal advice that they are about TO begin suit
for the money and Senator BLANCHARD Is report
cd as having assured them that 1t can certainly
be- recovered.
stances Is simply population. II cannot De con-
sIdcrcd I'm any sense crcdtabe that Congress
has repudated an honest debt Of Sll 0O0OO in
order to make It's aggregate Of appropriations
fall So 7S7 $40 below those Of the List Congress
But IL Is also true that similar reputation Of
honest debts by the Lth Congress made II neces
sary for the List Congress To vote about $3S
100000 for deficiencies. This year the amount
required for deficiencies Is only Sll,S29Ji5
Thus the actual appropriations fer the coming
year. exclusive Of deficiencies in the past appro-
priations have been about N79OOOOOO this
year against ABOUT S4JGOOOOOO in 1890. II the
sums formally pledged and honestly due 10 the
sugar growers had been appropriated the cx-
pcnditures for the. coming year would have
been S49O000,WO exclusive OF Deficiencies
against S4JG,OOO.OOO In 1890.
Representative Cannon. Of the Appropriations
Committee goes further, and arraigns the
majority for outrageous extravaganza at time
when the condition OF the people and Of the
Treasury called for the utmost economy. He
shows that salaries have been increased in many
cases without the slightest justification. 1t is
probable that In q different condition OF bust
ness. an increase Of salaries In some cases would
have been warranted. but this Is surely not the
right year to add heavily to the burdens which
the people have to bear The crushing Empower
ishment resulting from the Democratic change
nf National policy was surely burden enough

The Chinese trade unions can trace their history

not discuss with his employer what he Is to receive

down by his trade union. and without for n moment
taking into consideration what his employer may
