Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Samuel S. 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 conflict. 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 floor have not outraged.

Excerpt from Speech of Hon. S. S. Cox: Of New York, in the House of Representatives, November 19, 1877 If you asked any question of the stranger about Paris, he dilated upon the "noggs," "cobblers," "smashers," "cocktails," "eyeopeners," "moustache-twisters," and "corpse-revivers" of the American restaurant. [Laughter.] Stewed oysters, terrapins, soft-shell crabs, canvas-back ducks, and prairie hens were introduced under the Stars and Stripes, to the attention, admiration, amazement, and stomachs of the French population for the first time. Nor are the provisions of the original bill for a corn diet any novelty in France, for green com and succotash were as common then as cobblers and cocktails. [Laughter.] General-Welfare Clause. Under some clause of our Constitution for the general welfare and happiness of mankind our appropriation for this exhibition is justified. Such exhibitions not only fail to give dignity and grandeur to to our character as a nation, but utterly fail to contribute to the common defense and general welfare. They fail to usher in that intelligence, courage, and unassuming glory which should illustrate the first republic of the world. Strict Construction and Reserved Power. Seriously, Mr. Chairman, it is about time that the pendulum swung from one extreme to the other in relation to constitutional construction and taxation. It is true that parties seem to be changing on vital rules of construction. What has not the last year brought forth? Let me use a fable to teach the lesson. It is said that there was a giant once who swallowed windmills without choking, but who was suffocated next day by a piece of fresh butter! [Laughter.] So with our republican State-rights friends. There was nothing too huge or crooked which they did not swallow under the war power and for twelve years after the war; but when the votes of States falsely personated came to us in a Federal way their hatred of State rights vanished. They swallowed State rights as if they had the lubricity of butter. The recent elections look as if they suffered, if they were not suffocated, by the act of deglutition. It is well, when our opponents here are carrying reserved rights to such extremes, for us to consider how far we are swinging in the other direction. If this measure is to be justified in a democratic House, where is the limit for any and all objects which hover like birds of prey about the Treasury? Whatever good may be done our industries by such expositions, there are many distinguished in public life who are not ready to admit that there is any authority to tax for any such purpose. When we ask those who favor such schemes for any grant of power to sanction such appropriations, they spread into platitudes. In the Centennial debate one member justified the appropriation by saying that we had a right to show other nations that we exist, and, therefore, an appropriation was justifiable. (Record, Forty-first Congress, first session, page 522.) As Mr. Townsend, of Pennsylvania, remarked: We have expended more than five billions to render it certain that this nation shall exist. We have spent five billions to have a centennial, and when you come to the constitutional question - the question of right - I say, sir, that if a nation has a right to exist, it has a right to show to the world that it does exist.

Book Description
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.
