| If the revenue for the fiscal year which
will end on June 80. 1885, be estimated upon
the basis of existing laws the Secretary is of
| the opinion that for that year the receipts
| will exceed by 100000 600 the ordinary eX-
penditurcs, including the amount devoted to
the sinking fund. Hitherto the surplus, as
rapidly as it has accumulated, has been de-
voted to the reduction of the national debt.
AS u result, the only bonds now outstanding
which are redeelnable at the pleasure of the
government are the 3 per cents, amounting
amounting to $3.50, 200, 0Oo, and the S131, 900,
900 of per cents, are not payable until 1891
and 1907, respectively. If the surplus shall
hereafter be as large as the Treasury eSti-
mates now indicate, the 3 per cent, bonds
may all be redeemed at least four years be.
for any Of the IL per cents. can be called
in. The latter, at the same rate OF acculnu-
ation of surplus. can be paid at maturity,
and the moneys requisite for the redemption
of the per cents. will be in the treasury
many years before those obligations become
payable.
