Mr.. Theo. G. Searchi Of Philadelphia, the
president of the National Association of
Manufacturers. was a. witness before the
Industrial commission Saturday. The pro-
ductive capacity of the manufacturers of
the country, he said, was in excess of the
demand for home consumption and manu-
factured goods are being exported in no.
ticeable quantities. This was true especial
ly, he noticed, as to cotton goods. evidenced
In the fact that cotton mills in New Eng
land stand practically idle for two or three
months in the year. Mr.. Search was doubt
ful as to the outcome of the movement for
the establishment Of trusts. he was inclined
to think it is still too early in the game to
make guess as to the possible outcome of
these combinations safe. He could not say
whether 1t was going to do good or harm.
But he believed they would be more or less
disastrous to the smaller enterprises be-
cause OF the oheapened cost Of production.

Appropriations 81 .ses. 500. .o1s. .2s.


THE appropriations made at the session
of Congres just closed amount approx
mately to s6I3, ,65s, 400, and show an ap-
parent reduction of S219, ,573, 600 under the
appropriations made at the preceding ses-
sion. This is attributable to the large ex-
penses occasioned by the war with Spain
that We're provided for during the preceding
session.
1.-The entire appropriations made by the
Fifty-fifth Congress aggregate 81 1566, ,SoO,-
0l6.2S OF this sum $4S2, ,562, ,0s3. AZ is directly
chargeabie to our late war with Spain or
incident thereto. Deducting this charge
from the whole amount of the appropria-
tions. the remainder, S1,0S4. 32I .632.S1, rep
resents the ordinary-or normal appropria-
tions MADE by the Fifty-fifth Congress.
THE appropriations made by the preced-
ing Congress- the Fifty-fourth, amounted
to Sl,044, $50, ,2I3S7. A comparison shows an
increase in ordinary appropriations made
by this Congress over those made by that
Congress- the Fifty-fourth, of S39 747 900;
but this apparent increase is more than
accounted for by increases under eight
Items alone, namely: For pensions, $1,000,
oo' Tor the postal service, $16.O00.000; for
rivers and harbors, including work under
contracts previously authorized, 81, 600 600;
for new ships for the navy 5000 600: for
beginning the work of the twelfth census,
Sl,0O0,OO0: for the Paris exposition, 81 200
oo0; for new public buildings. including the
building for the Department of Justice and
for site and partial construction of the new
government printing office, about $1,000 900;
and for payment of judgments rendered
against the government on account of
French spoliations and under the Bowman
act, S3,100000. These very natural and
necessary increases in public expenditures,
on account of the pension list the growth
OF the postal service in response to the
demands of commerce; the improvement of
the great waterways of the country, and
for increases of the navy; the construction
OF needed buildings to accommodate the
government service in the cities of the
country; the taking of the census the par
ueipation of the nation In the great exposi-
ton to be held at Paris next year. and the
payment Of the French spoIiation judg-
ments and Bowman act cases, so long con-
sidered by ard pressed upon Congress, ag-
gregate $50 9O0,000-more than dissipating
the entire apparent increase in the ordinary
appropriations by this Congress over those
made by the Fffty-fourth Congress.
