Scarcely a measure of National importance has been passed by Congress during the nearly twenty years since the suppression of the Rebellion, whether upholding and strengthening the public credit and touching finances generally, or respecting the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the insurrectionary States, the retrenchment and reduction of governmental expenses, the reform of abuses in the machinery of Government, the various appropriation bills, measures looking to pensions and their increase, and the equalization of bounties, the tariff or the internal revenue, the civil service, army reform, currency and national banks, internal improvements, railroad subsidies, public lands, Indian affairs, the education of the masses, that does not bear the impress of his brain and hand.
