 If the revenue for the fiscal year whick will end June 30, 1885, will be estimated up on the basis of existing laws, the Secretary is of the opinion that for that year the re ceipts will exceed sixty million dollars. Hith erto the surplus, es rapidly as it had accum ulated, has been devoted to the reduction ot the national debt. AS result the only bonds now outstanding which are redeemable at the pleasure of government are per cents. amounting to about $3O5, 900, GOO. The 4 per cents, amounting to $25O, 900, 900, and the $737, ,OO0, 900 per cents are not payable until 1891 and 1907 respectively. If the sur plus shall hereafter be as large as the treesu- ry estimates now indicate, the three per cent. bonds may all be redeemed at least four years before any of the 43 per cents. can be called in.
