On December 9, during hearings on the national budget of 1896, Kuyper spoke about terminology in the printed budgetary materials that had been repeatedly misused and also about extravagant items in the school budget. Then he addressed the situation in Sliedrecht (cf. 1895.01), where the municipal administration was not balancing its books and where a high-ranking civil servant had been given an honorable discharge (pp. 491–493). Finally, he gave a rejoinder to the responses of a minister involved in the situation, whose answers he considered unsatisfactory and evasive (p. 502).

During the parliamentary session on December 11, Kuyper criticized an item in the budget funding a professorial chair for archaeology and ancient history, a combination that he disliked (pp. 535–536, 538). During the session on December 12, Kuyper attacked the line item in the budget that provided subsidies to the Teachers College of Leiden (pp. 572–574). Finally, during the session on December 13, Kuyper spoke again about subsidizing the Teachers College of Leiden, which had not received any state subsidy since 1889 and which was nevertheless in good financial condition (pp. 583–584).
