V tfAGE TTTO ' '-ii?? . The Natic Congress Spends $jj,ii50,000,000. ' v?From out the maze of confusing . lerms and conflicting charges, ii is how possible lo give Hie correct licUres showing the amount of public money which the session of Congr-r Just drawing to a close lias spent. It Is $2,247,127,600. or in more intelligible terms 2.247 million dolbun This is the total lo dale of the money which this session lias "nppropiiated" plus that which it ha' nnthorlaert to he expemleil. but the hill, for which will not eoih'e in until after the close of the next linen I year. The total appropriations amount i<> $1,710,482,722. To this figure in"-1 be added "anthorization" lor which appropriations arc not m;i<!? but for which Congress has obligated itself to make appropriations, ol 643,07. The total "appropriation14" of the last Kepubiiean ('origre. (two sessions! amounted to 000. The appropriations of this Congress (two sessionsi will total at least $3,400.ooO.immi. Th?- increase in the appropriations Iu< i" i?" paredness is oou.ihjo, which leaves an increase <if jou.nno.OlM of actual nppropirations ov<i last session to l?e aecoiinii'd Dm ? nlir?ly by what Senator Smoot has termed "unccnml'Mt extravagance combined with inoflieiem y unsurpassed." Tin* Democratic platform contains two pertinent statements. One reads "We denounce.' the profligate waste of n:ono.v wrung front lln* pco% pie by opprcs:dve taxation through (he lavish aj'pt njn i itions <?l Kepuh Jican Congresses, wliicli hav? itept taxes hi"h and reduced the purclia inp power of the people's toil. \V" demand a return to that simplieitv and economy which bet;is a democratic government and a reduction in the number of useless oliiees. the salaries of which drain the substance ol* the people." The other reads: "Our pled pes are made to be ;<? pt While in ollim as well as to be relief upon during lb" campagn." The Democratic managers have been sending distress messages to Washington, begging their leaders in Congress to try to make some bettor fiscal showing. The above figured and quotations show the reason why. Hani to Please. When Mr. Hilghcs was o\po; i nt I he gross alius.* of civil service reform by the Wilson administration, its shameless spoils -mongering, etc., the Democrat ie managers were severely criticized him because ins speeches were "destructive and not constructive." Having disposed, for the time being.' of one phase ot Democratic incompetence, Mr. Hughes lias now been discussing the tariff. In one address in California, for instance, lie ?aid: "I do propose that we shall have a constructive tariff policy wrmil Will lUSH'I. mil I-I , mini will liuilil up, not destroy; which will count American achievement to he honorable and nol something to lie reduced; \vl\jch will set the United Slitter ahead, worthy of competing in this economic slniggb' with any nation 011 earth." And front the West comes the news that .Mr. Hughes's tariff speeches are "most enthusiastically received."! And yet I lie Democratic managers are not satisfied. They declared today (hat Hughes wits "talking timeworn tariff twaddle." Reports from Maine indicate that Republics 1 votes are licing made there by tiediscussion of the tariff and of a true' Americanism which will make in American prbud of iiis flag anywhere In the world - even in Mexico.

Ilise in Sentiment. The treaty had its rise in sentiment. | Ever since the war between Paraguay! and the Allies (Argentine. Brazil and Uruguayi. the vanquished have had in struggle against adverse circumstances. The manhood of Paraguay was literally wiped nut nf existence before the Allies wore able to impose l peace. The country was. in fact, fl-' 7ian< ially and completely ruined. Civil i wars succeeded war; and, with very | brief intervals, political commotions : and military revolts have been main- ; fained ever since. Though at peace . for six years and well governed, the situation in Paiaguav is still preear- j ions to a decree, the paper currency j having depreciated to an almost in- i credible extent its purchasing power is practically nil. Fluctuations are i so frequent that speculation on the I rate o fexchanee has hern a vrrit- j able gamble, as it was in Argentina i ! before the monetary problem was solved fifteen years ago when the paper unit was given a definite gold basis. ! i It is hoped that the treaty will give1 1 -he Paraguayan dollar a certain degree <>f stahilitv and ronseotientlv an enhanced value.
