Y. S. Finances.

According 10 Mr.. Gallatin's report
the revenue for the year ending Sept
so, 1911, was l5,54l,446 37-Currenl
expenses, 1894, S84,9l-payments on
account of the principal OF the debt,
5,05s, 2,82.--The revenue for Is 9
is estimated at 5000, OOO-Current ex-
penses at 9,4oo,ooo-Exceeding by
100000, the probable receipts.
This deficiency may be paid out OF a
balance of S,947,8l8, remaining in the
Treasury Sept so, 1911; but Mr.. Gal
latin does not consider it eligible to ex-
haust that fund ; and recommends a
loan. The expenditures of 1912 in
clude portion of expenses arising out
of the present state Of affairs. AS to
the principal Of the public debt, an au-
thority TO borrow sum equal to what
is to be reimbursed in 1912 will be ne
cessary which is estimated at 2,l35,
1891. The whole amount of public
debt on the lst of Jan. 1912, will a
mount to 45,l54,l89, and the annual
interest is 2,222,48l--Mr. Gallatin
says that our revenue in time of peace
is almost sufficient to defray the expen.
SEES of war but In time of war ii is
hardly competent TO support the expen-
ses ola peace establishment sinking
at once from ! 5 to or millions but
40 millions OF debt contracted during 5
or 6 years war, may always, without
any extraordinary exertions be reim-
bursed IN 10 years of peace.
To be placed on solid foundation
requires the aid of revenue sufficient
at least TO deiray the ordinary expences
Of government, and to pay the interest
On the public debt, including that on
new loans.
The nett revenue arising from du-
ties on merchandise and tonnage last
year was 10, Is ,490-the same reven-
ne ior the present year is estimated at
7,5o0,000-but on account Of the non
importation law, this is expected here
eaitNt W b@ i(OuOCh W OlOOOJOOO. HC
annual sale of lands is estimated at
100000. Totalrcyenue 100000. az
ter 1912. Expenses 100000. De-
ficiency, 100000.
Mr.. Gallatin recommends an addi-
fio7aI duty fifty per cent, and the con-
tinuance cfthe Mediterranean find. II
any further deficiency should arise, ii
may be supplied, Fcithout difficulty, by a
further increase of duties, by a restora-
ton THAT on salt, and(not or )by pro
per selection of moderate internal ta.res.
The Secretary conceives il will be
easy 20 procure loans either in time
OF peace or war-but apprehends it
may be necessary to give per cent in

Mr.. Cholson again brought forward
the claim of Amy Dardin, which has
been before the house fifteen or twenty
years; and has probably cost the Uni
ted States calculating the ordinary ex-
pense Of time, not less than IS or 90

MoyDAy, NOV. Is, 1911.
4 The bill for apporlioning the Repre-
senlation Of the People of the United
States, was read, and Mr.. Bib, moved
its recommitment. A debate ensued.
Among those who advocated re-
commitment, some wished larger,
and some smaller ratio than $1,000
the number inserted in the BILL Some
, were afraid to reconsider lest major.
ity should be found to increase it to
10000; though they wished it less
than 7,OOO-others lest it should be
reduced belos that ratio.
Mr.. Quincy indirectly charged them
with wishing TO make the ratio large,
to make the number of Representatives
the fewer, for sake of power, from the
better chance of office as a great
part of them were Office seekers. The
Speaker called him to order for CEN
surfing the motives that produced the
vote last Friday, for so large ratio as
$1,000. Mess,s. Widgery and
Cheeves took 1t III dudgeon that any
member should be supposed capable of
being governed by such motives. Mr.
Cheeyes, in particular was quite angry.
The Speaker checked him, and infor-
med him that tho he had called the
member from Massachusetts to order,
perceiving afterwards the scope Of his
argument, he had found him 10 be in
order and observed, that he had
right 10 express the sentiments he had
expressed, referring to the general
nature of all such legislative bodies.
Mr.. Cheeves said he did not rise to ex-
press any pain, but the injustice of The
charge he considered such charges
as pointless arrows shot from broken
bow. Mr.. Quincy said he had con-
sidered them rightly, SO far as respec-
ted him, for the bow was not drawn
for a gentleman lac SO highly respected.
Adverling to the scramble for Offices,
Mr.. Quincy observed, that the feder-
alists had no cause Of complaint the
leading ones being always able to ob-
tain Office by forsaking their party aud
going over TO the other side they
were sure TO be made Judge, Comp
troller Or Ambassador.
