lie says, in part:
"The Republican party cannot escape
the condemnation Of the country for I'M
just and unwarranted appropriations in
a time of profound commercial depress-
ion. When this Congress convened at
its first session, labor WAS disconnected
because Of inadequate compensation,
mining industries were at standstill,
manufactures were closed or running up
on limited time, while agriculture was
utterly Frustrated.
Upon the reassembling Of this Con-
gress at a second session, in December
last, these adverse business conditions
were aggravated and intensified. Every
consideration Of patriotism, equity, and
fair dealing demand a policy of rigid
economy. Some Of the Republican
leaders attempted to enforce sucs a pol
icy. This House, however, with its Re-
publican majority of $50, has recklessly
distcgarded the obvious requirements of
the National Treasury, and instead Of
making an honest effort TO close the
ever-iucreasing chasm between receipts
and expenditures, has still further Wild
ened it by appropriations which in their
aggregate are without precedent.
"In my opinion the time has come
when Congress, in response to the de-
manjs of the people, must reduce ex-
penditures.
"The best practical method by which
this can be accomplished is to change
the rule again and clothe with the re-
quisite power and responsibility one
committee-be it the case prior to 1865,
the Committee on Ways and Means.
BY this method appropriations can be
reduced within the revenues of the
Government wisely, harmonjously, and
without gripping any branch Of the pub
lie service. There should be one COM
mittee organized to protect the taxpayers
and the Treasury"

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

ST. Patrick, whose work ns n wonder
Is the theme Of Grafton and song,
Was diligent, truo son OF thunder
In an ago Of oppression and wrong,
While the doctrine Of loving each other
Lay dormant and dend from Its birth,
And no man called his fellow his brother
On the face Of Gods beautiful earth;
While envy and terror and battle
Drove men to the brink % despair,
Reduced them to dumb driven cattle
Or the plane Of the boast In his lar,
This shepherd and son Of the mountain,
In prayer, meath the sunset Of oven,
Slakod his thirst at jehovah 5 own fountain,
Lii his lamp at the altar Of heaven.
That bright little isle Of tho ocean.

Still remembers st, Pntrick's devotion
And treasures the gift that he gave,
And her sons In the deepest recesses
OF civilization and fame
Come forth on this day with their tresscs
And weave bright wreath for his name.
