seem that this building should be large
enough for any possible business of the

that several bureaus are provided for else

official was crealed in the early days of

The sudden and alarming illness of Sec
rotary Manning, causing by unceasing de-
yotion to the duties of his Office, seems to
direct attention to the treasury depart
ment and its vast business ramifcations.
Few people realize what an enormous
financial institution the United States
treasury is, or what large amount of
money passes through it in the course of
a year. The old saying that "Uncle Sam
is rich enough to buy US all farm" is al
most literally true. People may talk as
much as they like about poverty and hard
times, yet there is always plenty of money
in the national cash box. An indefinite
idea prevails to some extent that the
government can make just as much money
as happens 10 be wanted which is in one
sense, though net literally, true. The
total revenues of the government from all
sources amount to nearly $1,O0O,O0O
per day, CT somewhere about $30O,000,0o0
a year. ] his does not sou1 so large after
