Democratic Economy.

The Secretary of the Treasury has sent
to Congress the estimates of the appropri-
atoms for the fiscal year, which will end
June 3Oth, 1888. The total amount esti-
mated as required for all expenses of the
government is 1926, 1s5, 1914, which is
S14, 1853 less than the sum called for
in the estimates submitted last year, and
$3,27a, SOL less than the aggregate of ap-
preparations for the present fiscal year.
The estimates for the executive establish
ment, the judicial establishment, the mill
tary establishment, the naval establish
ment, public works and postal service, are
in excess of the appropriations for those
objects for the current fiscal year. There
is an increase of about 81, 100000 for pub
lie works, about $3,OOO,0OO for the naval
establishment, about 100000 for the
military, and about 81, 600. 900 for the pos
tai service. The estimates are less than
the appropriations in the following in
stances: About $4,000 less for the legis-
lative establishment, over 100000 for
foreign intercourse. about $4,000 less for
Indian affairs, over $4,000, 900 for pensions
nearly 81, 100000 less for permanent annual
appropriations, and over te,OOO,oOO less
tor miscellaneous objects
