tracts for crying mail on star
routes made after the passage OF
this Act shall inclnde the deposit

"Notwithsta nding this deplor-
able treasury situation, which has
been called over and over again
to the attention of congress and
tho country, appropriations have
been made which in many cases
have not been warranted by the
interests of the public service, or

til the national income should be

amounted to $1,035, $50, ,1O9.9
The appropriations of the con.

It is fair to dednct from this total
$4S2,562 ,OS3.47, made necessary
to meet the liabilities Of the
Spanish war. So if We deduct
from the grand total the liahili-
ties in account of the war with
Spain it appears that the appro

penses exceed those of the pre-
ceding 54th congress by $50, ,747,.

tract liabilities authorized by the
congress Just expired for new
ships and their armament, pub
lie buildings, rivers and harbnrs
and miscella neous items amount
to $70,602.524. If, therefore, to
tbe ordinary appropriations is
added the liz |ilities on account
Of these auth " .ized contracts, We
ascertain that the appropriations
and contract liabilities amount 70
the tremendous total Of $1,154,.

These increased appropriations
have gone for French epoliation
claims, public buildings, rivers,
harbors, Bowman act claims and
hundreds of other projects, some
m"rltorious. but many of them
not entitled to recognition by the
national government. In nearly
every bra nch Of the civil service
Of the government there has been
an increase of appropriations.

considered by and pressed upon

more than dissipating the entire
apparent increase in the ordinary
appropriations by this congress
over those made by the 54th con

I'm addition to the direct mp

contracts were authorized, subject
to future appropriations To be
made by congress, amounting To
about $7O,0OO,OO0. OF this amount,
$44.000,000 is for additional ships

the construction of new war ships
which require periods of years
for their construction. In the ease

and the construction of public
buildings experience has shown
that the authorization of contracts
tends materially to expediate and
cheaper the same"
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, the
ranking Democratic member of
the House appropriations com
mittee, made the following state
ment, giving the Democratic
view:
"The congress easily surpasses
all its predecessors In the s.upen
dous aggregate Of its appropria-
tons. 1t was thought that the 51st
congress, commonly known AS
the bullion dollar congress- had
in point of extravaganza ef ap
propriations-touched a limit
which would not be reached, or at
least surpassed by any of it's sue
cessors.
This congress, however, has far
exceeded the appalling total of
appropriations then made, and it
will be remembered that the
bullion dollar congress was fol-
lowed by overwhelming disaster
to the Republican party at the
ensuing election.
"ConfrOnted with a war with
Spain, requiring the imposition
of additional taxation, it is ob
vious that rigid economy should
have been applied in all other
directions To the expenditure of
public money. The people were
willing to meet all the demands
upon the nationa treasury made
necessary bv the Spanish war, hut
it is fsir to presume that they ex-
pected their representatives., IN
view of the cheerful disposition
manifested to meet these added
burdens, to limit the ordinary
appropriations to the necessities
Of wise and economical admin
istration.
"These expectations have not
been realized. The result is an
actual deficiency in current reve-
nues amounting, on the first of
this month, to 500. 100, ,554.5O. This
deficiency, as shown by recent
conservative estimate by Chair
man Cannon. Of the appropriation
com mmittee. will probably reach
$159,O0O,0O0 on the 3Oth of June
next.
ut is impossible to estimate
with absolute accuracy the treas
nry deficiency for the coming
fiscal year. The secretary of the
treasury, IN his annual report,
made in December last, estimated
1t at about $3l 900 900: but If IA
