Madame President.-The following is .
. brief synopsis of the work done during
tha last year, In the North Carolina
/ Room OF the Confederate Museum.
Portraits have been received and hung
The Lamar register., 1903-03-11
Roth sides of the Shield.

Statements prepared by Representa-
tive Cannon. chairman of the House
committee on appropriations, and Rep
resentative Livingston. the ranking
minority member of the committee.
relative to the appropriations made by
the Fifty-seventh Congress. together
with comparative tables, have been
made public. Mr.. Cannon analyses the
figures presented by the tables and
priations of the session Just ended,
over those of the last. In concluding
his statement Mr.. Cannon says:
1.-THE Republican administration OF
our government. the dominion of Re-
publican policies in both branches OF
Congress since 1897, has given us
system of taxation that has produced
a national treasury richer than was
ever enjoyed by any nation of the
earth and rendered possible these great
expenditures for the public welfare"
Mr.. Livingston compares the appro-
priations made by the Fifty-third Con-
gress. both branches of which were
controlled by the Democrats, amount
ing to $3.50 ,239 .205. with the appropria-
tions of the Fifty-seventh Congress,
aggregating S1,554, ,10S,514, and COM
ments on the difference as affecting
some of the big items. In conclusion
he says:
Nothing short of a revision of the
tariff on a revenue basis and the ad-
ministration of the government under
the wise and prudent methods OF the
Democratic party can be looked to
bring about a reduction in the national
expenditures, exhibited by these fig
ures in such appalling proportions"
Both statements are Incorporated In
the Congressional Record.
