s. The estimate Of The public reDsnne and
expenditure for The year 1898.
The gross amount OF duties on imports
and tonnage which accrued from the lst
of January to the 30th OF September last,
both days included, is estimated at Dls,-
! SOC, 900, and that of the whole year at
p23. Coz, 600.
! 1t is estimated that the amount OF de.
beRtures issued during the same period,
exceeds the amount issued during the cor
responding period Of the year 1871 by
DIG. 900, and that the amount OF de-
bentures outstanding, on the seth OF lSep.
| TENDER last, Chargeable upon the reven'
ue Of 1898. is D234 600 more than was
on the same day in 1921, chargeable up
on The revenue of 1899.
1t is estimated the value OF domestic ar
ticles exported from the United States IN
The year ending ON the 3o.h Of September
last, has amounted to D49 874.O79, and
that foreign articles exported during the
same period, have amounted 10 DR., s8S,-
2O2.
As the receipts from the customs in the
year 1928 depend LIST upon The amount
OF duty bonds which become due within
that year. after deducting the expenses OF
collection, and The amount OF debentures
chargeable upon them; aud secondly, up
on such portion OF the duties secured IN
the first and second quarters OF that year
as are payable within the year; it is man
iiest that an increase in the amount Ut de.
bentures chargeable upon the revenue OF
the year 1898, or dimuni,ion Of the i'm
portations Of foreign merchandise during
the two first quarters Of that year, must
necessarily diminish the gsfealRRlab lI into the
Il hr cav NsngAit6in twelve months after i'm
portation, chargeab'e upon bonds given
tor the duties upon such importation, u
impossible to foresee the amount which
may be chargeable upon the bonds that
are payable during the year l823'-Ihe
facts, however, which have been slated,
Justify the conclusion, that the amount OF
debeniures which will be issued and char
gsd upon the revenue Of 1899, will consid-
erably exceed the amount which was
chargabla upon that OF l822.-From the
same facts, it is also presumed that the i'm
portations of the two first quarters OF The
year 1923 will be less than the correspon-
ding quarters Of the present year.
Giving due weight to all the facts con-
nected with the subject, the receipts tor
the year 1928 may be estimated at Dr.
loo 900. viz: Customs d. 8, ooo 900, Pub
lie lands d. 600 900, Bank dividends
| D35o,ooo, Arrears OF internal duties aud
direct tax and incidental receipts Dl5o,.
600, to which IS to be added the sum OF
DI,9I6,l35 56 remaining in the Treasu.
ry, at er satisfying the balances OF sppro.
priatiops chargeable upon the revenue oil
1899, which makes the entire mems OF
the year l. % amount TO D23, DIG, 1875 56.
The expenditure Of the year 1923 is es-
timated al DIS, 1853 ,697 22, viz:-clvil,
diplomatic and miscellaneous Di. 500 .3l7

Although the facts already disclosed
