INTEREST TO BE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF THE
PUBLIC PURSE AND THE DEMANDS UPON 1T.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, March 22-On Monday the Treas
sury will pay that portion of the interest on the
public debt which falls due on April 1. It is not
probable that beyond this the Treasury will be in
condition to do any more in the remainder Of the
current fiscal year than to meet regular and current
demands. Beside the call for $15.000,000 in
bonds, which will mature on May l, there are still
outstanding about S1O.OOO.O00 balances of
amounts hitherto called and not yet presented for
payment. OF the whole $25,0O0,0O0 probably
$15,000000 will be sent on for payment before
July 1.
Besides the demands on account of the public debt
the ordinary expenses of the Government must be
met, and about $35,000.000 will be required for
the payment of pensions alone. OF this amount
Commissioner Dudley says he will need $6,000.000
this month, $4,000. 900 in April; $15,O00.0 900 in
May and so. 900 900 in June. In the meantime 1t
is expected that the internal revenues will fall
off about S5,OOOOOO. General Raum
estimates that while there will be an
increase of S1.5O0.OOO from the tax
on distilled spirits, there will be falling of of
81. .4OO, 600 on banks and bankers 81, 100000 on
account of special taxes; 100000 on adhesive
stamps aud $1,000, 600 on tobacco, cigars, etc
This estimate, If realized, will make the receipts
from internal revenue $l43, 1000. instead Of
$14S. 600 600 as estimated IN case of no change
In the law. The internal revenue receipts from
July |, 1882, to March 81, 1888, exceeded The re-
ceipts for the corresponding period of last year by
$2,2O0,oOO The former were SlO5, ,225: 900 and
the estimated receipts for the remainder of the year
are S3s 400. 600
Whether not the National banks are to be re-
qured to pay taxes their capital and deposits for
the months of January and February and
the first three days in March, and
the month of December 1882, Is question which
has been submitted to the Attorney General for his
opinion. If he decides in the affirmative the fall
ing of in internal revenue will he less than
General Raum's estimate. Nothing definite can. be
ascertained respecting the effect OF the new tariff
upon receipts from CUSTOMS IL is, Of course posi-
BE that the Immediate operation of the section re-
peang the duties charges, commissions, ETC.,
NAV stimulate importatlons as to run up the re-
ceipts higher than the amount estimated before the
new tariff law was enacted.
