Thus in the financial year ending June 80.
1865, there deficiency Of f172, sol ,O39 which
was covered by loans applicable to expenditures to
an amount Of fl72, 972, 70l, leaving q balance Of
Eli, ,662 to be carried forward. In the financial
year ending June 80, 1866, on the contrary, this
huge deficiency is replaced by positive surplus Of
1916 34l left in the hands Of the Government to
be applied, sooner or later, we presume, to the
redemption Of public debt.
"To proceed to details The first item Of receipt
is the balance in the Treasury. The year 1865
began with large balance, tho year 1866 with o
small one. This appears to have been a simple
question Of loans and it is much moro to the Sec.
! retary's credit that he has obtained this surplus
without even substantial balance in hand dc.
rived from old loans. Next come the customs
which have more than doubled in the twelvemonth,
probably, on the whole, rather in consequence of
an improved working Of the old system, Of better
arrangement Of details, and of the suppression of
smuggling and evasion, exposed by the commission
Of last year, than of any impressive increase Of du
| ties.
The sales Of land exhibit slight decrease, but
tho gain or loss is q tribe either way. The direct
tax is SO little productive that it would appear al
most advisable to give 1t up altogether. Much was
expected Of 1t formerly but 1t has always sgnally
failed.
"The great success of the present Administration
is manifest under the head Of internal revenue.
This was an order Of taxation which originated
only with the war yet its produce 10 already far in
advance of any other description of revenue and il
increasing with rapid strides. Among the miscel
laneous source, ofincome the profits made by sales
OF gold count for q considerable sum- and the oper
ations Of May and June last when bullion was In
great demand for export to England, doubtless
swelled this item in 1866 So much for the receipts
and the picture is no less favorable on the othel
side Of the general balance sheet.
"Looking to the expenditure Of the two years be
fore find that the whole reduction Is ascribet
to the Departments Of War and Navy, as, indeed
might have been expected.
THE cost Of the debt and Of pensions increases
The decrease on civil service is not important, ant
may very likely be accidental.

AMERICAN FINANCES, VIEWED
FROM An EUROPEtN STAND
PnUNT

There is scarcely any question Of the day
that absorbs more Of the attention Of the
people than that of the management Of our
national finances; and while we are accus-
toned to contemplate and study the effect
produced by every political and financial
movement at home, we are not so apt to pay
attention to what the fnanciers of the "Old
World" arc doing and saying about us.
1t is with natural national pride, how
ever, that we observe the many tributes
which are paid to us abroad. The unprece-
dented recuperative power of this country
seems to have taken the foreign nations by
surprise, and in their astonishment they gaze
upon us and ask, "Where shall these things
end?"
One of our leading European consuls,
writing upon this subject, says:
Nothing surprises intelligent Englishmen moro
than the astonishing success with which the
finances Of the United States have been admins.
tered. Tho English arc essentially business peo-
ple they understand figures II they cannot compre.
hend arguments or statements Of the relations Of
things. Thoy never believed that the rebellion
could be suppressed, until after 1t was m accom-.
plished fact they never could admit the fact that
we could raise money by taxation to carry on the
war, or conduct II without becoming bankrupt"
The following extracts are from an article
in the London Globe, and is but one Of the
many commentaries upon the ability dis
played in the administration OF our finances
as shown by the annual report Of the Secre
tary of the Treasury for the year ending
June 30, 1866:
"0n both sides of the account appear totals Of
more than one hundred millions sterling. 1t is nc
small matter that so groat sum should have been
spent by the nation in q single year Of peace; and
1t may we'll be subject Of pride in America that
the necessary revenues have been raised in the
same period by taxation alone, without resort to
loans or fabrication Of paper money. The feat could
not be easily matched by any European country
just emerging from a costly war Itshows not only
wealth and commercial prosperity, but endurance
resolution, and submissiveness to the law of th,
highest order.
Tho cessation of the war brought immediat,
relief to tho Treasury, for the reduction of tn,
army was remarkably expeditions; but It will b,
seen that this relief not extended to the people
As expenditures decreased receipts increased; ant
hence the excellent results.
"In order to appreciate fully what has been done
let US place in uxtapositon the statements of th,
two last years Of American finance.
