THE FINANCIAL DEFICIT.

SOM n our readers may have understood,
fror Or statement made few days ago,
that the deficit in the revenue for the current
year is larger than it really is. 1t has been
playfuIly intimated to us, indeed, by one of
the Members Of Congress, who dissents
from our conclusions, that such an infer
ence may be drawn from it. We will en-
deavor, therefore, to be more explicit.
From our statement, published on Mon
day last, it appears that the entire receipts
ofthe year 164l will fall short of the entire
debt and liabilities by probably $le y694y449
But it does not by any means follow, NOR
did we by any means intend to intimate,
that the deficiency in the revenue for this
gear would be any thing like that amount
OF the whole amount of these liabilities,
for instance, the amount of probably nine
and half millions of dollars will remain
Wnerpemded ON the LIST of January next, and
a further amount Of payments will be DIFFER
red, in the shape of outstanding Treasury
Notes, say $4,000, 900, minus the amount Of
Treasury Notes which may in the meantime
be received in payment Of dues TO the Gov
ernHlent. The apparent deficit for the current
gear, therefore, IS only fsay) S2,604, 448, to.
gether with the amount Of appropriations
made at this session, and to be expended
'cithin the gear, suppose $2,5OO|O0O. added to
the amount of Treasury Notes which may
be received in payments at the Treasury up
to January l, 1912. So that of the loan of
$l2,OOO,OOO proposed to be authorized, it
may not be necessary, within the remain
der of the present year, to borrow more
than $5,OO0,OOO Great part of the residue
of the loan, however, if not tho whole of it,
may, and probably will, be required for the
service of the Government early in the next
Year.
The above estimate of the apparent def
cit for the current year is based upon the
supposition that every dollar in the hands
of depositaries has been applied to pay
nlents But as this is obviously impracti-
cable, from half "a million to q million of
dollars should be added to the estimate for
what may be in their hands undraWn, in
cn'asing by so much the amount Of deficit
for the current year.-Nat. Incl. g.
