SOLVING THE SURPLUS PROBLEM
The Expenditure uthoFi1ea BY Con.
gress Will Almost Consume the Essi-
mate Receipts.
HOW THH PACT or THUS ABSORBING THE SURPLUS
AFFECTS THE ATTITUDE OF The xEvINu1 Re-
YoRMIRS

The strongest argument for tar1n reform made
at the opening OF the session was the necessity Of
reducing the rapidly accumulating surplus in the
Treasury. It was this condition Of the revenues
that fr1ghtened the republicans into an acknowl-
edgment that something should be done. and
placed them in the perplexing position Of having
to undertake the framing Of q tarln bill as sub
stitute for the Mills measure. Now, In the hour
Of their extremity, when the Senate Is perplexed
BY the question, the democrats in the House ma
that they have, in measure, come to the rescue
Of their republican opponents, by Q more prompt
reduction Of the surplus.
There has been an immense increase In expendi-
ture authorized during the session. There has
expenditures have been authorized for public
buildings. Three publc-building bills now In con-
ference, with every prospect OF becoming laws,
contemplate the expenditure OF s. 500 600; not to
mention bills that have passed for buildings rang
ing In cost from $4,000 TO $500 600 The river and
about ene ps
aggregate more than $1S,0O0,OOO. In looking over
the record OF the session it is found that these and
or practically certain to be made, Will bring the
expenditures up to within few million OF the est-
mates OF revenues for the year made by the Treas
Unfit all the bills have become laws it cannot
be told with absolute accuracy what the aggre-
gate OF the authorized expenditures would be,
whose attention has been turned to the matter,
estimate that they will amount to within $13, ,OOO
600 OF what the Secretary OF the Treasury says
the revenues will be. This reduces the surplus Of
It's terrible proportions and deprives the tariff re-
formers OF part OF their argument, unless, as
some OF them contend, 1t may be pointed to as an
example or the reckless extravaganza resulting
from an over-stocked Treasury. The democratic
leaders are startled at the result of their retro
Spect and while their party Is not entirely re-
spOnSible for the expenditures, the contemplation
OF the situation Is not at all satisfactory to them
they feel that they cannot escape criticism for the
facts.
