REPUBLICAN IUFT IS
El
Built Panama Canal Out of Cur
rent Revenues, Patriotically
Hoarding Bonds in Treasury
Which Democrats Filch
to Hide a Deficit.
CARNIVAL OF DEBAUCHERY
- IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURE
Senator Penrose Bellve the LocUd
Condition of the Treasury Will
Necessitate the Withholding of
Contracts for Battleships and De
lay the Whole Scheme of Prepared
ness Nation's Money Frittered
Away to Finance Hare-Brained and
III Advised Projects.
William R. WItlcox, Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
bus received from Senator Penrose a
tHof but positive summing up of the
extravagancefl ef the Wilson Adminis
tration during the session of Coujrress
Just about to close. The Senator
says :
"When the country realises what
thlH Congress has done In the way of
appropriations it will be dumfounded.
Already, It has been shown that over
a billion, seven or eltfht hundred mil
lion dollars have been appropriated
more money thua was ever appropri
ated lo any one year In the history
of the Auiertean government The to
tal will reach nearly two billion dol
lars before the end of this carnival
of debauchery In public expenditures
is reached, because no account has
been taken of the twenty-live millions
for tho Danish islands, the thirty mil
lions which tbe government will prob
ably have to refund as a result of
the five per cent rebate allowed on
Importations brought across the seas
In American bottoms, and other mat
ters which are likely to corae up.
"It is only too evident that this bill
which Is expected to bring In some
two hundred trillion dollars will ab
solutely fall to meet even the requlra
nients for the lll-advlsed and certainly
not urgent projects authorized by the
present Congress.
''It Is now claimed that these pro
jects are to be financed by the issu
ance of Panama Canal bonds. Ths
American people will regard such a
proceeding as a very queer one be
cause the Issuing of bonds by the
Cleveland Administration largely help
ed to bring about the downfall of the
Democratic party . In 1806. A bond
Issue has ever since been viewed with
abhorrence by the Democracy; now,
we find the party leaders compelled,
by reason of their extravagance and
Inefficiency, to resort to It.
"To defray the expenses of a nitrate
plant and of a shipping board and
many other needless projects by the
Issuing of Panama bonds will be in
the last analysis equivalent to paying
for them by bond Issues. These bonds
are lying In the treasury unissued as
the result of the thrift and economy
and wise administration of ths Repub
lican party.
"Only about $130,000,000 of bonds
were put out In the construction of the
Panama Canal. The balance of the
cost of that stupendous undertaking
was paid out of current revenues;
and now, to advance the novel doc
trine that these bonds which repre
sent the thrift of preceding years
shall be issued for these questionable
projects Is, to my mind, preposterous.
In fact, It was expressly provided In
the Spooner Act that Panama Canal
bonds should not be Issued for any
other purpose than tUat ol ine cuu
struction of the Canal, and the In
genious theory that they . can be la
sued now to repay the treasury and
that then the money can be squan
dered by the party In power to finance
doubtful projects and to make good a
deficit will not alter the fact that
such a deficit exists.
"No amount of reasoning on the
part of the Chalriyan of the Commit
tee on Finance will alter the fact
that outside of preparedness there has
been at least $200,000,000 of wasteful
appropriations and expenditures by
the present Congress. That coudltlon
of the treasury will absolutely neces
sitate the withholding of contracts
for battieBhlDs and delay the whole j
mm
1ED BY WILSON
scheme of preparedness. ' j
"The figures of the Secretary of,
the Treasury may be Juggled as they
may, but when the Secretary Is upi
against the brute fact of not having
money to pay for these projects he ,
will then find that figures will Botj
make a surplus In the treasury.
SACRIFICED COUNTRY'S
HONOR AND INTEREST
Mr. Wilson's defenders say he
"has kept us out of war." As
a matter of fact his policy In
Mexico has combined all the
evils of fseble peace with all the
evils of feeble war. He has se
cured none of the benefits of
war; but he has not avoided
war. He has sacrificed ths hon
or and the Interests of the coun
try; but he has not received tho
thirty pieces of silver. From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Ltwlsten,
Maine, In behalf of Charlss C.
Hughes.
WILSON KISSED THE HAND
RED WITH AMERICAN
BLOOD.
I
President Wilson explicitly
shows that the Carranzlstas, not
once but repeatedly, made at
tacks on American towns, and
killed American citizens, and
mutilated them in Sepiembex,
1915. Yet on October 19th, 1915,
Ipsa than a month later, this
Fame President Wilson, through
bis same Secretary of State,
formally announced to Carran-
jai's agent that It was his "pleas
ure" to take the opportunity "of
extending recognition to the de
facto government of Mexico, of
which General Venustiano Car
ranza Is the chief executive."
Trcsldent Wllsou thus recog
nized the govermnent which, his
own Secretary of State declares,
had been less than a month pre
viously engaged In repeated
assaults upon Americans, and In
the invasion of American soil,
the government at whose head
was General Carranza, who, less
than two months previously, oa
August 2nd, 1015, had contempt
uously refused to pay any heed
to any representations. of Presi
dent Wilson on behalf of media
tion, saying that "under no
consideration would I permit in
terference In the Internal affairs
of Mexico." President Wilson
did not merely kiss the hand
that slapped him In the face. He
kissed that band when It was
red with the blood of American
men, women and children, who
had been murdered and mutilat
ed with, as President Wilson,
through his Secretary of State,
says, "ruthless brutality." From

Roosevelt, delivered at Lewla

E. Hughes,

Students of Democratic politics
know what a thin line divides step
ping aside and sidestepping.
The Democrats seem to realize, to.
their dismay, that if they cap.'t per
suade Mr. Hughes to change front

stump," but "will accept Invitations
to speak at different places." Chair

It la not what Wilson has kept us
out of but what he's gtit as into that
counts at present
Charles E. Hughes cannot get so far
away from Washington that the meat
tn charge of the chariot of government
there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms, la fact, the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp
toms of sea-eickness from the way la
which the ex-Justice of the Supreme
court has shaken them up. Mr,
Hughes Is pursuing the only proper
method, which Is first to take tha
deadwood out of the way so that thsj
path to righteous and propitious goi
1
ernment may be made clear.
