In -opposing the report of the committee I desire to state that so far as appropriation hills are concerned I do not concede. the propriety of injecting a partisan bias into them. On the contrary. I contend that in acting upon such measures we should be governed by the requirements of the countryby what we realize of its marvelous growth and progress and the influx of hundreds of thousands of emigrants into it each year. With those lights before us we should endeavor to legislate intelligently for the future. to let all our acts bear the stamp of a broad. liberal. and progressive spirit. While I concede the advisability of going before the country upon a proper line of economy.
