THE ANNUAL TREASURY

gerry sought alter, not only throughout the United
States out In other countries which have commercial
relations with us, that we hasten to publish il entire in
our paper of to-day.
The report is divided, as usual, into three princina,
branches; The hrSt' relating to The public revenue and
expenditures; the second, to the public debt: and the
third, to estimates for the ensuing wear.
The fiscal operations of the year 1880. which form
ahe principal items under the first head, are highly sa-
hsiactory; the receipts into the Treasury having or.
ceeoed the estimate, and the expenditures having GlI,n

In connection with the estimates Of the revenue for
the next year, are presented the principal data from
which its probable amount is to be deduced. Among
these' the most important in a general view, are the
imports ana exports OF the present year. OF foreign
articles, the imPortaiions in the year ending on the Both

explorations 10 l1,4OO,000; both being below tho amount

cics have been declining since the year 1926. This de-
crease, the effect of which has been already seen in
