ton 10 the government assets, and will
belong to the people. Most of the money
thus expended will be in the nature of per-
manent improvements and the people VIII
get the benefit of every dollar of it. These
contracts included s21069, 800 for additional
ships for the navy. s15s4S.s5O for additions
to old public buildings and the construc-
tion of new ones. including several in this
State, s3S,336,16O for the Improvement Of
rivers and harbors, $50, 10000 for the con-
struction Of an isthmian canal, and so on.
What American worthy of the name but
wants to see the United States navy kept
up, our system of public buildings extend
ed, our rivers and harbors improved and
an isthmian canal constructed? Dema-
gogues will ring the changes on the alleged
extravaganza Of the appropriations, but
they will not mention one that could be
cut out. AS a matter of fact, most Of them
were voted for in the general appropriation
bill by Democrats as we'll as Republicans
The government belongs 20 the people,
and. as has been stated, whatever is done
in the way of extending or improving its
operations inures TO their benefit Take
the Postoffice Department. for instance,
which touches. all the people at more points
than any other department, and which is
not self-supporting. The bare statement
that the cost of this department had in
creased over ssO,OOO.OOo in the last thirty
five years would look appalling on its
face, but when It is stated that during the
same period the number of postoffices in
the United States has increased from 2O5O0
to 5000 and the extent of post routes from
1890 miles to $1,000. the increased ex-
penditure is not out of proportion. And
what Democratic editor or orator would
dare to urge the cutting off of postal serv-
ice where it has once been established? ?
One of these papers says: 1T is an alarm
ing fact that the late session OF Congress
created 6,3s6 new civilian offices, while
abolishing only 1,165, leaving net increase
of 5,22l new officials, whose aggregate year.
ly salaries will be $5O54, ,71450." One might
suppose from this that the net increase
| of 5,221 new offices were sinecures whose
incumbents would have nothing to do but
| sit in easy chairs and draw their salaries.
AS matter of fact, 4,3O3 OF the new Of
fees created were for the postal service.
| including 3.134 clerks in postofices where
the growth of business required it, s65
railway postal clerks, 265 on account Of the
free delivery service, etc. OF the net total
of 5,221 new civil officers authorized by the
last Congtess all but 921 were in the postal
service, which works for the public welfare
day and night the year round. and the
crippling of which would be national dis
| aster.
This is a great government. and If its
expenses increase from year to year it is
in response to the necessities of the times
| and to a popular demand that requires the
| government to keep up with the growth OF
the country and the progress of the people

ernment and where the peoples money
goes. Democratic papers are commenting
on the alleged magnitude of the appropria-
tions. and the statement will probably be
used for campaign purposes. Without ex-
planation. and especially as garbled by
Democratic papers. its totals may excite
surprise. but a little reflection will show
that they are not unreasonable. 1t must
be remembered that this is still a growing
government and an unfinished country, and
that its expenses must necessarily increase
from year to year for some time to come.
There is not a State nor a county in the
Union whose annual expenditures have not
increased during the last fifty years in as
large proportion as have those of the
United States government. Such an in
crease does not necessarily argue extrava-
gance. it simply shows that the govern
ment is keeping up with the times and
with the progress of the people themselves
and their demands upon it.

sion of Congress amounted to s1,O5S. .SS5,
