REPUBLICAN ECONOMY VS. DEM
OCRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE. •
Speech of lon. James 6. Blaine, of
Maine,—ln the House of Repre
sentatives, July 2, 186 . 8.
The House being in Committee of the
Whole bn the Deficiency appropriation
bill, Mr. Blaine said :
Mr. Chairman : We have entered up
on a new fiscal year, and the last appro
priation bill to provide for its expendi
tures has been reported and is now be. ,
fore the House. The occasion seems a
fit one for 'a brief survey of our finan
cial situation and for a pertinent an
swer to the many misrepresentations so
Industriously set afloat in regard to gov
ernment expenditures. A very labored
attempt hap been made ,throughout the
country by certain parties and parti
sans to•create the imreion that the
expenditures of this Congress are on a
scale of heedless and reckless extrava
gance. 'I propose to show that such is
not the fact, but that, on the contrary,
the expenditures are made with far
more regard to economy than distin
guiihed the last Democratic administra
tion that was in power in this country.
The question is one of figures and not of
argument, and hence I proceed at once
to the figures.
It is important atthe onset, to a clear
understanding and 'Clear comparison of
GovernMent expenditures t at the pres
ent time and the period Immediately
preceding the war, to distinguish be
tween those expenditures which were
the inevitable consequence of the re=
hellion, and therefore unavoidable, and
those which may be to a certain ' extent
controlled by the discretion and the
fidelity of Congress. Of those expendi
tures, which are the direct outgrowth of
the rebellion, I count the interest on
the war:debt and the pension and boun
ties to soldiers and sailors. These are
expenditures which are not discretion
ary but are imperatively demanded,
unless the nation is prepared on the
one hand to defraud its creditors, or on
the other to turn its back on the brave
men who risirvii_cvirprything that the
survive.
The , annual interest on the public
debt amounts to one hundred land
twenty-nine millions six hundred and
seventy-eight thousand seventy-eight
'dollars and fifty cents. The pension
roll for the year will be : hirty millions
three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, and the bounties due and payable
will require about thirty million dollars
These three items, which are not dis
cretionary, amount to the large aggre
gate of nearly one hundred and ninety
million dollars, well nigh two-thirds of
our total outlay for the fiscal year upon
which we have just entered. The fact
that so large a proportion of our expen
diture is the result of the war, and is
unavoidable unless we repudiate our
obligations to otir public creditors and
our heroic sOldiers, cannot be to often
repeated or too thoroughly impressed
on the public mind; for it is idle to de
nounce these expenditures as extrava
gant unless we are prepared to withhold
them : and whoever proposes to with
hold them proposes thereby to put the
nation at the same time under the
doubly disgraceful stigma of repudiation
and ingratitude.' If the Democratic
Party choose to assume that position it
is welcome to all the glory of it.
For the'ordinary expenditures of the
Government for the fiscal year which
has just begun, the appropriations are
as follows :
Executive, legislative, sad judicial, embracing
all Department salaries and
expenses ' ' $17,480,000,00
For the Army 33,081,Q13,10
For the Navy 17,500,600,00
West Point Military Academy 3024300,00
Consular and diplomatic service 1,206,434,00
Post'Offico Department 1,500,600,00
Indian bureau, treaties, &o 2,500.000,00
Rivers and harbors 3,700,900,00
Collecting the revenue... 0;909,000,00
sundry civil expenditures connected
with the various Departments 6,020,000.00
Miscellaneous expenses of all kinds,
incliiding cost or certain public
'buildings throughout the country,
,expenses of reconstruction, eipen-
hes of closing up Freedmen's Bu
reau, &e 9,000,000,00
Deficiencies of various kinds in the
different appropriations 2,560,080,00
I differ in some items from the recent
statement of the honorable Chairman
of Ways and Means, for I think he In
eluded in the expenses of this year a
deficiency of thirteen million dollars
resulting from the Indian war of 1867 ;
which amount was appropriated and
spent last year, and has no proper con
nection whateverwith theexpenditures
of the current fiscal year. Aid he
also' includes, incorrectly, I think,
some Twenty-four million apptoprfa
tions overlapping' from the , year which
has closed to the present. I say incor
rectly, because this amount will be
offset by a similar amount which over
laps from this year to the next, about
the same amount going over each year,
and this from necessity owing to the
mode of disbursement. I have \ also
made the, amount for bounties ten ;mil
lions less than the Chairman estimates,
because a large proportion which he
includes in this year will necessarily be
paid in the ensuing year, when it is
hoped the whole matter will be closed,
the last soldier honorably paid off, and
the Treasury releived from further ob
ligations in that direction.
Adding together these ordinary ex
penditures, asl have above, the sum
total is found to be one hundred and
- six million eight hundred and eigh
teen thousand four hundred and, forty
seven dollars. If Congress can be
accused of extravagance, the accusation
must be made good on these figures, or
'else abandoned, for the other expendi
!titres, 'aSl haVe - id - reedy 'repeated, lie
Withotit'the pale of congressional dis
cretibthir control.' A clear estimate of
the character of theseexpenditurei may
be gathered by' comparing them with
the outlays incurred Wider the last
Demodratic administration. For cum
ple, in 1857-58 the same class of expen-,
ditures in Buchana&s adthinistration
were over seventy million dollars in
gold, whereas the one hundred and
six millions eight hundred and eighteen
thousand four hundred and forty-seven
.13 egimaixitaza Of
TION
kttiotellantoto
$186,818,447,10
Making a total of
1.1
dollars above named are in paper. It
must be Observed, moreover, that s in
1857-58 the population of this country
was under thirty millions, whereas 10-;
day it Is well nigh forty millions. Ad
ding forty per cent, premiuth on gold,
to bring the expenditure of the two eras
to the same standard, and we find the,
outlays of Buchanan were at the rate oT
over ninety-eight millions in paper .10-
day. To this add one third' for increase
of population, and we find the Buchan
an expenditures, adjusted to the scale
of to-day, would amount to one hun
dred and thirty million dollars for the
same 'items that we are paying less
than one'hundred and seven millions
for. And in this calculation I have
said nothing about the increased mili
tary and naval force of the present day,
,whieh adds immensely to the account
in favor of present economy.
This calculation stated, in these gene-,
- !ral terms, is far more striking and sug* -r
gestive when you come to examine de
'tails. The Army, for instance, cost du
ring the four years of Buchanan's ad
ministration, by the official statement
of the Treasury Department, which I
hold in my hand, the large aggregate
of $86,307,575,55 making an average of
well nigh twenty-two millions each
year in gold.. And at that time the
Army consisted in all of nineteen regi
ments ; so that each regiment cost
considerably over a million each year
in gold. The Army at present contains
sixty regiments, and yet the whole ap
propriation asked for by General Grant
amounts to little more than thirty
three millions, a trifle more than half a
million per regiment each year in
paper. In other words, the Army un
der the peace establishment of h Demo
cratic administration, immediately pre
ceding the war, cost per regiment large
ly in gold than the Army now costs per
regiment in paper, under the peace es
tablishment as administered by General
Grant. The same scale of expenditure
indulged in under,. the administration
of Buchanan would make our present
Army cost over seventy millions in
gold or a hundred millions in -paper ;
and until the latter figure is exceeded
the Democratic partisans of Buchanan
can have no ground to charge that Army
expenses are extravagant. 'When we
look at the actual amount spent for
legitimate Army expenses, we see good
ground for the high compliment be- .
stowed by Presieent Johnson when,
few months since, he publielyproclairo
ed "General Grant's judicious economy
as the direct cause of Saving many
millions to the Treasury." With Gen
eral Grant's election to the Presidency
and the final pacification of the Send--
ern States, our Army will at once be
reduced and the expenditures of the
War Department will be brought to a
point so inconsiderable as no longer to
be felt as a burden to the tax-payer.
The comparison is regarded to naval
expenditures at the two periods I have
named, are equally suggestive and strik
ing. For the four years of Buchanan's
administration the navy, by the official
records, cost fifty-two millions six hun
dred and forty-five thousand nine hun
dred and ninety-eightdollars and eighty
nine cents—showing an average of
More than thirteen millions per annum
in gold coin. With a much larger
navy, and with the disadvar4ge of
paper money and high prices, our aP
i,,—.l—infinng this - son:, axe a triflC under
eighteen millions. Taking tne differ
ence in the size of the navy at the two
periods and the disparity between gold
and paper and we should be authorized,
if we followed the Buchanan standard
of expenditure,- in appropriating .well
nigh forty millions for the year's ser
vice. These facts are certainly sugges
tive and instructive.
In our post office expenditures, as
compared with those of the Democratic
regime, the difference is, if anything
more striking than in the relative ex
pebses of the army and navy. Besides
Using up all the postal receipts, thepest
office department for the last three
years of Buchanaula administration
made drafts on the Treasury to the
amount of over five millions a year, in
one year running up`' to nearly seven
millions, During the whole time the
Republicans have been in power, the
the drafts on the Treasury for the sup
port of the postal service have not aver
aged two million dollars per annum,
and with this moderate expenditure we
have been enabled to carry on the im
mense mail service in the interiorof the
continent and to the shores of the Pa
cific, through all our remote territories
and sparsely peopled sections, and have
also been able to maintain a superb
line of mail steamers from San Fran
cisco to Hong Kong and from New
York to Rio Janeiro, none of which
extraordinary enterprises and expendi
tures were levied on the department
during Buchanan's administration.
, These comparisons might be quite in
.definitely continued, exhibiting in each
item the same result, and demonstrati ug
with mathematical Certainty that when
we take into account the vast increase
of population and the rapid and unpre
cedented development of our country
during the time the Republican party
has been in poWer ; and when we take
into further account the fact that we
have been all the while subjected, as a
necessity of the war, to the disadvantage
of high prices resulting from paper
money; taking, I say, these facts into
account, I assert and defy contradiction
that large as our expenditures have
necessarily been, they have yet been
on a scale of economy and fidelity quite
unknown during the last Democratic
administration that afflicted the coun
try. And I assert further, and I call
both political friend and foe to the
witness stand in support of my declara
tion, that whenever and whatever Gen
eral Grant has been able to control
governmental expenditure, economy,
integrity,-fidelity, and rigid retrench
ment and reduction have been the
unvarying result.
Consider further, Mr. Chilirman, that
while the Republican party has been
providing the means for these expendi
tures, they have been at the same time
effecting immense seductions in the
public - debt, and continually and large
ly reducing taxation. Within the three
years tl at have elapsed since . the war
closed nd the Army was mustered out,
we ha 'e reduced the public debt be
tween two and three hundred million
dollars, and at each session of Congress,
while this 'reduction of the debt was
going on, we have taken off millions
upon millions of taxation from the pro
ductive industry of the nation. At the
first session of the Thirty-Ninth Con
gress, the first that convened after , the
close of the war, taxes were removed
that had the preceding year yielded a
revenue of sixty million dollars, and at
the second session of the same Congress
forty-one millions more of- taxes were
promptly repealed. The Fortieth Con
gress has not been behind the Thirty-
Ninth in this respect, for we have al
ready repealed taxes that last year gave
us a revenue of ninety millions. And
to day the taxes of the Federal Govern
ment-are so wisely adjusted, and col
lected froth' such few sources that no
man,feels 'them burdensome, 'oppress
ive, or exacting. •Demagogues may
misrepresent, and partisans may assail,
but the, people know and feel that to-day
the taxes levied by the Federal Govern
ment.are not an oppression to the hitli
vidual, and not a hindrance to- the de
velopement of the industrial resources
of the land, .
The historylor the Republican Party,
Mr. Chairman, is. indeed a proud record.
Inheriting a bankrupt Treasury,. a dis
honored credit, and a gigantic rebellion,
from the traitorous Administration
which preceded their advent to power
in 1801, the Republicans heroically and
successfully grappled withkand conquer
all these obstacles to the life and ',pro
gress of the nation. TheY replenished
the Treasury ; they redeelned our cred
it ; they subdued the mightiest rebell
ion that ever} confronted,civil. power
since Governments were instituted
among men, they struck the shackles
from fotr millions of human being's,
and gave them every civil right under
ol
the C istitution and laws. And while
accomilished these herculean tasks, the
Republican Party administered the
Government so wisely that prosperity
has been all the time abroad in the
latid ; great business enterprises have
been undertaken and successfully Pros
ecuted ; factories have been built; the
forest subdued; fartos brought under
cultivation ; navigable rivers improved ;
thousands of miles of railwayconstrnet
ed ; the continent spanned by telegraph
wires ; the two oceans well, nigh con
nected by a road of iron; the emigrant
protected on the remotest frontier; ter
ritories carved out of the wilderness
domain ; and new States of promise and
power added to the National Union.
What other party in the history of
this country ever confronted such diffi
culties? What other party ever gained
such victories`? , But great as. its achieve
ments have been, its work is not yet
finished. Out of the fierce conflicts of
the recent ptist, conflicts indeed still
raging, order and harmony, conciliation
and friendship] are yet to be evoked ;
not', indeed, byt unwise concession and
timid compromise, but by that firm
policy which is based on Right, and
under the ,leadership of one, who, so
terribly earnest) n war, is yet to day
the embodiment of peace, the conserva
tor of public justice, the hope of
,the
loyal millions !
COMMON SCHOOLS
Extracts from the Annual Report of the Superin
tendent of Tioga
MR. EDITOR you permit me
for a few weeks to occupy a brief space
in your columns, as the servant of 'the
School Directors, the "schools, and,
hence, of all the people of I this County,
in laying before them such facts -as are
of general interest. From the Annual
Report justrorwarded tb the Sup't. Hon.
J. P. Wickersham, there are some things
of consequence to all the people, and if
left to find their way to' the people
through the Published Annual Report
of the State Sup't. only a few even of
the School Directors will probably ever
see them.
SCHOOL HOUSES.—Ten new ones
have been built during the year ending
June Ist 1808. The best School House
in the county is in Covington Boro. Its
cost is slBoo—has two beautiful school
rooms on the same floor, with liberal
platforrn,und blackboard surface, nice
inside blinds, with appropiliate balls and
and furniture'. The total number of
School Houses in the county is 235, four
more than last year, of which we esti
mate -2S to be totally unfit:for use,,a
decrease of five so reputed last year.—
The number laving no suitable out
buildings is 104, a crease of eight.—
While we are happy to report aboutone
quarter with grounds suiliOently am
ple, we can not report One with grourids
suitably improved. Shade trees are
the great necessity of our school grounds.
We have yet, four of those primitive
relies, log school houses. But they a re
so covered up alid fitted up that they
answer the purpose very well, and may
be classed as better i than many of our
franie'housc& In none of our school
lieuses have:AlM—improved seats and
desks been introduced; but as fast as
lionses are built and old ones re
paired-the approved method of arrang
ing - seats is generally adopted. Nearly
one half of our houses are furnished
with a magnetic globe, map of the Uni
ted States l ' Astronomical Chart, and but
two or three have any apparatus beside
this. I estiinat
. the annual increase
of school Proper: y for the last twelve
years at nearly six per cent.
SCHOOL.—There are 247 schools that
are supported by public- money, ab9ut
twenty private schools, generally occas
ional and supplementing ourshort terms
of district e schools. A improved class
ification IA apparent; )the books have
- become more uniform and general, for
it is a fact that many scholars are sent
to school without a book of any kind.
The bible is read in nearly all our
schools. The average number of months
taught is gradually increasing, but still
falls considerably under six.
, TEAellEns.—The number of male
teachers employed in our schools is 78,
of females 341—being an increase of
seventeen male and a decrease of seven
females as compared with last year. It
thus appears that nearly twice as many
teachers are employed as we have schools
in the county. Sho-wing that in the
summer schools the new and inexperi
enced teachers are employed instead of
the better class. Showing also - that we
have about twice as many licensed
teachers as we have schools in the coun
ty. But tWo of three male teachers are
employed in our summer schools. Mak
ing due allowance for this, - and for
teachers that go in adjoining aounties,
and for those.examined that are not ein
ployed we still have more teachers than
we need. Does not the interest of our
schools demand that those least quali
fied should be dropped from the profes
sion, especially as those are the teach
ers most likely to be employed as they
will teltbh for less money. Uood teach
ers and directors, as well as the good of
our schools demand of , the Supt. the
painful duty of rejecting more teachers.
We trust that the directors, knowing
these facts, will' not ask us to license
those whom a hard duty may, require
us to lejeet., It is gratifying to know
that there is so much ambition among
teache'rs to improve, e peeially does this
ambition deserve a commendation
when ve think hog, poorly they are
paid. ; But good teat ti rs are being paid
better as fast as the NY alth of the coun
ty increases, and the mportanee of the
proleAion is better ppreciated ; and
we hope that poor teachers will contin
ue to receive less. There are not twenty
schools in the county where the same
teacher is retained three consecutive
terms. This "C,hang,ing teachers every
term is alike disastrous to the schools
and the teaehdr's profession and repu
tation. Far better is it for all parties
that a teacher of only ordinary ability
should be continued in the same school
year after 'year, summer and winter,
than to change. That will be the most
advanced school which keeps the same
teacher the longest. •

A:GOOD STORY OF SIR MATTHEW
HALE.
A a - Ml — en - inn of 6unsiderable estate,
residing in the easi*n part of-England,
had two sons. Tho oldest being of a
rambling dispositiO,•'went abroad.}—,
After several - years his father died,
when the younger son destroyed his
will, and seized upon the estate. He
gave out that his brother was dead, and
bribed some false witnesses to attest the
truth of it.
In the courseofi time, the elder broth
er returned, and in miserable circum
stances. His younger brother repulsed
him 'with scorn—told him that he was
an impostor, asserting that his brother
'was dead long ago,' and he could - bring
witnesses to prove it.
The poor fellow, !having neither mon
ey nor friends, was in a most dismal sit
nation. He went round_ the parish
making bitter complaints ; and, at last
came to a lawyer, who when be had
heard the poor man's mournful story,
undertook his cause, and entered an ac
tion against the younger brother, which
was agreed to be tried at the ,next gen
eral assizes at Che msford, in Essex.
The lawyer hav ng engaged in the
cause of the poor an, set his wits to
work to 'counterac the powerful inter
est exerted agains him. At last he hit
upon the happy t ought, that he would
consult the first o all the judges, Lord
Chief ustice 4 Hale. Accordingly he
flew ; up to London and laid open the
cause in all its circumstances. The
Judge heard the case patiently and at
tentively, and promised all the assist
ance in his power. With this object he
contrived matters in such a manner, as
to have finished all his business at the
king's bench before the assizes began at
Chelmsford. When his carriage had
conveyed him down very near the seat
of the assizes, he dismissed his man and
equipage, and sought out a" retired
house. He found one occupied by 4
miller. After some conversation, and
making himself quite agreeable, hn
proposed to the miller to change elothes
with him, and, as the Judge had a good
suit on, the man had no reason to' ob
ject. 1
Accordingly, the Judge put on a
complete suit of the miller's' best,, - and
armed with a stick, away he, marched
to Chelmsford, procured lodgings to his
liking, and waited for the assizes that
were tobegin the next day. When the
trial came on he walked like, an ignor
ant country fellow, backward and for-
Ward, along the country hall, and soon
found out the poor fellow that was
plaintiff. As soon as he came into the
hall, the miller drew up to him : •
"My honest friend," said he, 1 ..` how
is your case likely to go to-day ?"J
"My case is in a very precarious sit-.
tuition, and if I lose it ram — ruined for
life," replied the p4iintiff,
" Well, here friend," 'replied the
miller, " will you take my ritlyice ?
I will let you into a . 4• secret, which per
haps you do not know ; every English
man has the right and privilege; to ex
cept against any juryman through the
whole twelve ; no,4iv do you insist upon
your privilege, without giving a reason'
why, and I will do you all the service
in my power.
Accordingly, when the clerk of the
court had called over the jurymen, the
plaintiff excepted to one of them by
name. The jadge on the bench was
highly offended with his liberty.
" What do you iffean," said he, "by
excepting against that gentleman ?"
" I mean, my lord, to assert my privi
lege as an Englishman, without giving
_the reaAens why."
" Wei sir," said the judge, who had
been debply liribed,_" as you claim your
privilege, who would You - wish to have
in the room of that man eeepted
against ?"
After a short time taken into consid
eration, My lord," said he, "I wish
to have an honest man chose in," and
looked around the court, "My lord,
there is that miller in the court we will
have him if you-please."
Accordingly the utqiner was Chose in.
As soon as the elerkl:-6f- the
.court had
given them all their,oaths, n little:dext
rous fellow came into the departinent,
and slips ten golden carollises jilt° the
hands of eleven jurymen, but gave the
miller but fiVe., He observed that they
• were all bribed as well, as himself, and
to his next neighbor in 'a soft whisper
he said :
" How much have you got ?"
" Ten pieces," said he.
Ho concealed what he had himself.—
The case was opened. by the plaintiff's
counsel, and all the scraps - of evidence
they could fish up_were adduced In his
favor.
The younger brother:Was provided
with_ a great number or wittieshes, all
bribed as well as theludge.'":They de
posed that they were in the self-same
comftry 'When the brother died, and
saw'him buiied.' The counselors argu
ed upon this accumulated evidence; and
everything went with a full tide :in fa
vor of the younger brother. The Judge
said :
" Gentlemen are you agreed, and who
shall speak for yon ?"
" We are, agreed
,my lord," replied
one, " foreman-shall speak for us."
" old i my.lord," .repliea the miller,
" we are not all agreed.' P - - -
"..Why,. what's the matteiwithyou.?
What reasons haveyou for disagreeing?"
" I have several reasons, my lord,"
replied the miller. " The first is they
have given to all these gentlemen of
the jury ten broad pieces, of gold, and
to me but five ; besides, I have my ob
jections' to make to thnfalse reasonings
of the lawyers, and the extraordinary
evidence of the - witheSies."
Upon this the miller began a discOurse,
that discovered such vast penetration of
'judgment, such extensive knowledge of
the law and expressed with such -ener
getkc and manly eloquence'as to aston
ish the judge and whole court. •As ho
was going on with his powerful demon
'stration, the , judge, in surprise stopped
him.
" Wiwi.° did kott'ecicne from.and whd
are von 'b"
"I came from - Westix4Epter lTall," re
plied the miller, "My nainc 'is Mat
thew Hale—l am Lord Chief Justice of
the Bench. I have observed the
iniquity of your proceedings this day,
and therefore come down froth a seat
you are unworthy to hold.. You are
one of the corrupt parties in this iniq
uitous business. I will • come up this
moment, and try the case all over again."
Accordingly, Sir Matthew went up,
