amount the revenue from the tariff reached 584000 The expenditures of the government hate been scarcely less than this enormous sum for if you will at the public debt on the 31st of August 1865 you will find that it amounted to and you will look at the last monthly report made August 1st 1868 you will find it is to be 756 decrease of 215 only The commissioner of in ternal revenue tells us Ibat

into that re port carefully you will find ths actual put side by side with these facts that in three years the increase ot the deht which pays interest ingold has ted to six hundred and two million you will see how much your hardens have been lightened Then this same commissioner tells ns that the estima ted surplus in the treasury QH the 1st of July 1868 is thirtyfour mil lions Well that is a very comforta ble assurance bnt I to know where these millions are They have not been paid on the public I have shown you They are not in the I have shown yon I have unfortunate ly for our republican brethren a list of the deficiency bills that were passed during the last two or three weeks of the last congress and the list that I have imperfect as it is that they have appropriated out of this the sum of f in that way I hold in my hand this list I hate to trouble yon so much with the de tails of figures but as this is a fair spe cimen of the way in which our lican fellowcitizens when they get in vested with powes in Washington seek to cover up their doings you will excuse me if I call your attention to it for one moment Tho these manage is this They appropriate very much leas each year than they know they will expend and toward the end of the session of the year for which the appropriations have been made they get up what they call deficiency bills to cover the excess Then they go on in the same session and appropriate for the next very much less amount and when that year comes around pass deficiency bills again bat when they come to tell what the expenses year by are they say that is all we have appropria ted Those are are our appropriations see how much we have curtailed upon last year They forget to tell you about those bills Laugh ter Listen to me 0113 I will not detain you long Deficiency in of reconstruction second appropriation for the lame de further deficiency for the same object further deficiency in the district 087000 for destitute people chiefly negroes in the District of Then we come to the war department and we have a deficiency in the war department of Then comes the paymaster generals and quartermaster generals offices and the post office department end we have de bills in each and the treasu ry department and we hate a cy j and coming to the col lectors of customs we hare a cy there and coming to the construc tion branch of the treasury and we have two deficiencies Then comes tho interior department and we have a deficiency there and then the government of the territories and we have a deficiency there Then comes the legislative department and we have a deficiency of 8600000 in the senate itr tiro Then we come to a second legislative deficiency then pension office then two deficiencies in public buildings and grounds and lastly a on the miscellaneous Great laughter When next any df your members of congress tell you how much money they have appropriated for next year ask them to read how much they ap on deficiency bills I will not weary you with this detail of figures any further I might speak an hour on that subject They would afford you a very instructive lesson you would see ft great many tilings that yon dont see now I dont know whether it is worth your while to see certainly is not unless you can correct them Ths conclusion of this matter is that we owe more than and that year by year the federal government collects from your pocket more than 000 If yen add to that the amount collected bythe various state governments it will run up to 6800000000 and that is mora than six per cent of the value of all the in the United States and great till it rigss like a monument on the happiness and liberties of Oar even while we were piling it up we expending the currency when pay day now begins to make its approach we are just as industriously occupied in contracting the cnreney Suppose a neighbor of should act upon the same principle suppose he should go into the market iu the spring and buy he wonted and should voluntarily have the price of whatever he wanted enhanced and should prom ise to pay in tile fall out ef the pro of his summers labor whether agricultural or otherwise and suppose when fall came and his notes were coming due he should voluntarily run down the prices of everything ha had to sell BO that it consumed his whole crop to pay his debt incurred in the spring when if he behaved rightly and kept up prices be might pay his debt and hare hUf his crop for a sur plus would you not say ho was a fool Well that is exactly what the republican party has been doing for the people of the United States Radicals fl great against the democracy because Gener al Watte Hampton was in the N Y Convention But how do they stand in this matter 1 At the radical Convention at go they received with shouts

and white The consequence iu the south will be that the democrats will carry every southern state except South Car olina the statistics of of elections up to 1860 afc well as to the recent

it Here it is We have seen a powerful majority denying the minority the poor right to be heard in debate We seen the most important statutes forced through without discussion reflection or consideration With much blather about the groans of the taxpayer we have seen those representatives of a party and a nation covertly and mean ly refuse to reform the civil service though well knowing that its proper administration would save the country at least fifty millions of dollars a year We have seen them too after four years of such power as no other party in the of ever held still without a policy for the great subject of public debt or for any other subject reaching far into tho fu ture and demanding a settled defined and policy Their divisions and delays changes and hesitancy up dn all matters connected with the col lection of the revenue the sale of gold and the payment of the public debt have done more injury 60 every com and manufacturing interest of the country than all of
