WASHINGTON, Nov. ls.-The annual report
of U. s. Treasurer Gilfllan says that the
aggregate Of gold coin and bullion, inClud-
ing the standard silver dollars, being coined
under the act Of Jan %, 1878, which do not
appear in statements prior to that year, is
shown to have increased from SCI ,452, 247 in
1876, to STA, AGA, 9S2 in 1877, to $l63, &c.,
444 in 1878, and to S222, ,s07, 368 in 1879.
The note assets are ranged as follows on the
above dates In 1876, $9s, ,4l9, 1856, in 1877,
Sl09, 66s, 2s7; In 1878, SSs, ,S72, 800, and in
1879, $50, ,699,0S
The annual receipts from all sources are
S294, ,0e0, 900. OF this amount at least $34,-
600, 600 is in silver dollars or silver certih-
Gates, that being the minimum paid annually
for silver bullion for coinage, which amount
speedily finds its way into the treasury. The
more certainly because the payments for
bullion are made either at New York or San
Francisco which are both centres Of large
receipts by the government. The maximum
tlnxN
against which are payments OF S267 GOO, 900
for general expenditures, interest on the pub
lie debt, war and navy establishment and
pensions made in notes, or If made in coin
Its return decreases the note receipts to that
extent The excess Of note expenditures
over note receipts is therefore SIT ,O0O, 800,
which is the annual decrease of note balance
from silver dollar coinage alone. The treas
urer says that unless the rules of the New
York clearing, house are, changed so as to
permit payment by the treasury of all or a
certain percentage Of the balance in silver
il may become necessary for the treasurer to
withdraw from relation which renders over
$50, 900, 900 lawful money in it's vaults una
valuable for payn ent at New York, the point
Of the greatest public disbursement. gsGl
