Expenditures Of The Last Session Of Congress
James A. Hemenway of Indiana, a key figure in the House under Cannon, is highlighted as steering major appropriation bills. The piece discusses overall federal spending for the Fifty-seventh Congress, noting reductions in army, fortifications, pensions, and sundry civil items, alongside increases in agriculture, diplomacy, District of Columbia, military academy, naval, post office, river and harbor, and deficiency spending including Indiana’s share. The author argues the totals reflect prudent spending with broad support and limited opposition from Democrats.
