They nave got the offices anyhow.
They could not do that except under
the caucus system. Let's take up an
other proposition, that of the general
extravaganza of the Republicans. You
know our honored President said
You want to get hold of the treas
ury." II these figures are correct, you
want us to get hold of the treasury
too.
MILLIONS FOR FAVORITES.
I am not going to refer to the $50
millions of dollars which has been ap-
propriated for the program of pre-
paredness. 1t would not be fair. mol
just to attribute hat to our Demo
friends as an element Of expense.
This $50 millions, whether just or un-
just, wise or unwise, it is not proper to
charge to them alone, as 1t was some
thing which the country seemed to
think 1t needed.
Therefore, in the figures we will
eliminate the $50 millions which has
been appropriated for that purpose.

they had simply equaled our appropri-
alton, they would ave been guilty Of
that which they call shameless extra
vagance, we had the right to assume
that the e broom would sweep
clean, and from their solemn pledge
to hold 1t down at least to the point
where 1t was already in their eetima-
ton shameless extravaganza.
The first Democratic Congress ex-
ceeded the last Republican Congress.
and appropriated for the ordinary run
ming expenses of the government 1T
dollars.
This Congress appropriated 11B
millions in excess OF that, and this
1875 millions Of dollars does not in
clude the 1875 millions OF bonds
the authority for which they have
provided for; it does not include
the $40 millions Of dollars which
has been authorized and apprO-
priatiOns not actually made. but
avs passed authorizing them. and
which appropriations will have to
be made under the law: 1t docs not
include the IS millions Of dollars
under the treaty and which they
propose to pay Columbia, the rs
millions because they think Col.
Roosevelt stole Panama: 1t does
not include the q millions Of
dollars which is passed by treaty
yer some of our objections and
protests to purchase the West In
dies islands, and III we had paid
five millions 1T would have been an
excessive amount; 1t dOes not in
clude the three millions which
they have appropriated or passed
by treaty to buy another right-of-
"a for another canal across
Nicaragua.
What in the name OF all the
r~~D4 nj moo IL -xr> ~rr,n --lAl r
other r1ght-Of-way for q canal
until we can get q canoe through
the one we have got, l don't I'M
derstand. (Applause.) But
suppose that they think, having
built one canal and given 1t to
England, they propose to build
another and give it to Germany.
(Applause.)
III you will take this 1aS MI
lions, and the 1875 millions Of
bonds, and the authorization. and
these obligations under the treat
les, you will find that his CON-
exceeds the last Republican
Congress for the ordinary an
ming expenses OF the government,
including those things, over 500
to get hold Of the treasury, II
there is to be any Of 1t left.

Now, my friends, you may think
hat / I'm partisan, so / will read an
uthority. I read from a Democrat,
or the benefit of my Democratic
riends who are here tonight. and I
ope my Democratic friends are here,
I come not to preach to the
Ighteous but to call the sinners to re-
enhance. (Applause.)
