amounted to $1,O55, 663, 267.SS, while
the appropriations for next year
amount to I,0S2 .l25. 1885. 1t must
be remembered. however, that these
sums are not wholly tax upon the
government; for instance, $244.OOO.O0o
were appropriated for the postofiice
department, and almost this entire
amount will flow back into the govern
ment through the postal revenues
that In Itself reduces the appropria-
tons to less than ss00.000.000.
Then again, 1t must be considered
that millions Incorporated for con.
struction and other purposes. which
will not be used until later years. In
fact. the ordinary receipts and expen-
ditures Of the government amount to
only about $700,000,0 900 annually, so
that when the Democrats talk about
billiondollar congresses. they are sim
ply trying to mislead the people and
to advance the suggestion that We are
raising through taxation and expend-
Ing hundreds OF millions more than
we really are.
