Cox, of New York, in the House of Representatives, Monday, January 10, 1876 Mr. Speaker: The honorable gentleman from Maine, who under some dispensation of Providence or of the people is no longer our Speaker, has seen proper at the beginning of this centennial year to tear away the plasters of prudence over the green and bloody wounds of our civil con ict. He has seen proper to justify his conduct in the light of history. I venture to say that there is no precedent in history and no canon in political philosophy which the party in the minority on this oor have not outraged.

Cox, of New York, in the House of Representatives: For Adherence to Retrenchment, Saturday, June 17, 1876, on the President's Message Relating to Appropriations Nor has the recent convention of the republican people at Cincinnati given any definite conclusion on that matter. All conclusions have been general and inconclusive. There are no remedies proposed. Why, sir, in Cincinnati the other day, was it an uncertain or a certain sound as to the repeal of this resumption law? I say to the House what I said the other day, that the Committee on Banking and Currency will take that matter up for consideration as soon as a quoram appears. We have no desire to postpone it now that a privilege is afforded us to report at any time. A quorum will be here on Monday. All intimations of disinclination to consider and report on that critical question will be easily repelled by the frankness and future action of that committee which has been peculiarly honored by the House. The Great Rule Of Retrenchment - 120. But the matter now before the House is brought here by the message of the President. It is significant of conflict, and calls for pluck, faith, virtue, and popular defiance. The debate from one side is an attack on Rule 120 as amended. The object of the amendment of that rule, as gentlemen know very well, was to allow the Committee on Appropriations to retrench and reduce expenditures and salaries. The object of the old rule, I do not care by whom enacted, was to allow them only to increase. "It has been decided," says Barclay, (page 16, ) "that under Rule 120 it is not in order to propose an amendment to a general appropriation bill which changes existing law." But on the same page it is said that it was also decided that the latter branch of the rule not only permitted amendments increasing salaries, but was framed for that very purpose. Increase only! Not decrease at all. No wonder this new Congress, fresh from an impoverished and indignant people, desired more virtue in our rules as well as rulers. What virtue comes from the new rule, which strikes out increasing and inserts its opposite, is due to the honest gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Holman] or the Committee on Rules, who reported that peculiar amendment which he sent to us. It is duo as well to the House which has so gallantly sustained the Appropriation Committee in giving effect to the amended rule. From this fountain of pure legislation will come what relief a frugal people will receive from the exactions of profligate legislatures and a more profligate administration. The amendment from the Committee on Rules was intended to remove our disability to economize. It passed with some disgruntling remarks from gentlemen opposite. It has had several ordeals, but it has come out thus far burnished and purified. Its results arc seen in the various reductions which I will hereafter refer to. How The Senate Received The Retrenching Rule. It may be proper to say that the Senate received it in no pleasant mood; and their action upon the bills passed under its auspices shows plainly that the reform it would work is not acceptable to that body. They fear it will encroach upon their prerogative, or that it will repeal bad laws. However, I venture to say that there was no other mode left to kill the parasite alike with the monster which had been so long eating up the substance of the people by ordinate salaries and scandalous outlays. Besides, it was framed in the very spirit of the best parliamentary law. If it be an innovation, it is a wise one, for what does it not save through the agency of fresh and jest legislation?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beauties of Diplomacy: Speech of Hon. Samuel S. Cox, of New York, in the House of Representatives, February 9, 1876 The House, as in Committee of the Whole, having under consideration the bill (H. R. No. 1594) making appropriations for the consular and diplomatic service of the Government for the year ending June 30, 1877, and for other purposes - Mr. Cox said: Mr. Chairman: I think the House and the country should be congratulated upon the unanimity with which this bill comes from the Committee on Appropriations. If I understood correctly the honorable gentleman from Mississippi, Mr. Singleton.] who reported it, there was no dissent in the committee as to its provisions. If I am wrong in that statement, I can be corrected. This is a bill for retrenchment. It is one of many; for many of similar import are to come. It proposes a reduction of some $436,000 upon the appropriations of last year for foreign purposes. It was said by the gentleman from Ohio Mr. Garfield] the other day that our a average expenses for diplomatic and consular service for many years had been about $1,300,000. In 1859 these expenses had grown to $912,000; and the average since that time has been about $1,200,000. To be more exact, let me quote the exact figures: Our diplomatic and consular expenses for the year ending June 30, 1859, were only $912,120; for the year ending ending June 30, 1860, they were $1,047,745; for the year ending June 30, 1861, they were $1,158,330; for the year ending June 30, 1862, they were $1,260,544.34; for the year ending June 30, 1863, they were $1,235,889.89; for the year ending June 30, 1864, they were $1,260,544.34; for the year ending June 30, 1865, they were $l,354,100; for the year ending June 30, 1870, they were $1,110,734; for the year ending June 30, 1871, they were $1,041,347. Last year they were about $1,400,000. I do not count the extraordinary sum, $1,929,817, that was embraced in the bill to pay the British mixed commission awards. This year we propose a reduction of at least $436,000. It should be and it is done intelligently. I deprecate the remark made yesterday by my honorable colleague Mr. Wood that this reduction is without wise consideration. Sir, it has had careful examination. Why, Mr. Chairman, in my experience in this House for over sixteen years, I have never known an appropriation bill to be presented with more prudence and heed. We are acting upon authentic information given in advance. This is apparent from the speech as well as the report presented by the honorable gentleman from Mississippi, Mr. Singleton.] He gave us a report to accompany his bill, upon which he spoke wisely and well. He even gave us a map of South America to illustrate the proximity of those Spanish American states affected by the provisions of the bill. In addition to that, we have had the studious examination of the Appropriation Committee to show most amply the relations, commercial and otherwise, we bear abroad, and especially to the South American states.
