TREASURY MATTERS.
The statement in Secretary Fessendcn's
appeal to the people that the Trcasary not
unflequcnt'y receives million day. AS tax
on incomes, now raisce 2 per cent, and blink
taS and license fees begins to come In, there
is every prospect that, as the Secretary says,
one million per day in a 6hor: time will be
