the most popular business college IN the

The revenue of the United States gov
eminent fell of, during the first quarter
of the fiscal year ending September 3Oth,
over So, 900. The whole of this def
cheney occurred in the month of Septem-
Der, and was undoubtedly the result OF
monetary arrangement and as 1t is likely
to continue during the winter months, 1t
is safe to anticipate that the revenues OF
the fiscal year will fall off at least $780,
100000. Congress, has, in this fact, a
warning against all the numerous schemes
which are now under way to deplete the
National Treasury. The one great over
mastering difficulty Of Congress will be,
not to discover how to spend the public
money, but how to save 1t. Economy is
much more difficult than extravaganza,
but where economy is imperative it ought
to be robbed of half Its difficulty, and
that it is imperative ia this case ought to
be too plain TO be misunderstood, even by
the most stolid of Congressmen.-Pihs
Commercial.
