Are not the Figures Preahed
by Judge Hines,
Hd SHOULD “READ UP”
And Know his Lesson Better Before
he ‘‘Recites his Piece” to the Wool
hut Boys otold Georgia.
In his Macon speech Judge
Hines, in bis efforts to ridicule
the Democratic claims of economy
ou the part of the present adminis
tration in conducting the govern
ment, said, according to the report
of the speech in his party organ:
“They can say two things about
the great administration: They
saved $28,000,600 in pensions and
lost $26,000,000 in the interior de
partment over and above whut
they saved, and they have repealed
the election laws. What are the
election laws? Did they hurt you?
Were they filching from your pock
ets? Were they reducing the price
of cotton? Were tney running
diWLi the price of wheat? Who
were the election laws benefiting
or hurting? Not a single man in
this great country. Yet they have
done those two things!
“They will tell us now, perhaps,
that in a short time the tariff will
be passed and that they will then
have three strings to their bow, or
three bows to their string ; $28,000,
000 saved in pensions ; $26,000,000.
lost in interior department after
taking off what they saved on
pensions; and they have repealed
the election laws. And. have re
formed the tariff.”
Judge Hine? seems to say that
though pension payments were S2B.
000,000 less, the total expenditures Os
the interior department were $26,000
000 more Now what are the facts? A
carefully prepaired statement from
the treasury department.shows that
the total expenditures of tue interior
department in all o f its branches for
the fiscal year 1893 were $182,454,
411,36. For the fiscal year 1894 the
expenditures were $160,381,821.33
This shows a saving during the first
year of the present administration of
$22,072,590.03
It is well to be careful to avoid
confusion expenditure with appropn
ations. The most important question
is in considering the expenditures. A
large surplus from an appropriation
may be turned back into die treat
u.try or an appropriation may be
spent and a deficit created.
When we say that $24,385,000 is
saved in the administration of the
pension bureau , we mean that the
office has been run for that much
leas than was appropriated for it.
On June 20 resolution from the
senate requested information as to
the amount of the appropration
for the payment of pensions which
would remain unexpended at the
close of the fiscal year 1894,
The iformation furnished in re
ply to that resolution showed hatt
on June 20 there was an unexpend
ed balance remaining in the treas
ury amounting to $23,485,000 The
pension office estimated that of
the credits now in tbejhands of the
several United States pension
agents at least $900,001 would be
covered into the treasury.
This would make an unexpend
ed balance of $24,381,000. It is
safe to assume that theunexpended
balance which will be turned back
into the treasury is not here over
estimated.
The total amount of the pen
sion appropriation foj the past year
was $166,531,350 Pension Commis
sioner Raun , under President Hani
son’s administration, estimated that
the high water mark of pension ex
penditure would be reached July 1,
1891, and would be $188,000,000. It
is probable, therefore,ad the same
management! been continued in the
i
A GUARNTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE
tension bureau, ih*t not only would
l>e total appropriation for j e ‘ ions
have been expended, but a deficit of
some $20,000,000 would have been
created. This makes a difference o!
•gout $45 000.000 between what the
present administration lias spent foi
pensions and what would have been
spent by the previous administration.
Thece figures show that Judge
Hines was wrong. The economy that
resulted in a large decrease of per
sion payments was real, not sham, as
he seems to think, and the result
was a saving of many millions of dol
lars to the tax-payers. When Judge
Hines asks that he and his party be
fairly treated, he should be careful
to be lair to his opponents
