THE SURPLUS FOR 1879,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-Ac,ing Secrs-
tsfy Thompson of the treasury,
IL speaking this afternoon OF the
pro5sole condition OF the treas
ufy st the end OF the present fiscal year,
ssid: "The appropriation bills having
Gil been passed by the present Congress
some estimate can now be made of
the probable surplus revenue for the
asca1 year ending jung 30, 1889, over the
expenditures tor tie same Yesr. Esti-
mating one OF two miner items the
amount IN aggregate is S206. 600 900 with
estimated expenditures for permanent
annusl appropriation which are put at
Sll5,64O, 1913, making s total OF S42l, 640,>
1873. The total estimated revenues axe
s64O, 900, GOO, making the excess Of rev.
enue over the total appropriations of
about 81. 9C@. 900. But this By no means
represents the sctusl surplus CT revenue
Tor the current fiscal yeer. A careful
estimate shows that Of these sppropris-
dons which sre specific and continuing
appropriations there will be 81 least $751;.
600, 600 which will not and cannot be
properly expended during this fiscal
year, which makes On actual surplus Of
$50, eco, GOO which Is substantially the
same amount eetinsted by the secretary
IN his annual report, bu: even this does
not fairly represent the surplus
revenues for the fiscal ye.r 1899, for in
the appropriations above stated there Is
included sum OF about SIS, 900, 900 for
deficiencies in appropriations for 1888
and prior years which should have been
appropriated st the prior session of Con-
sress and paid out Of q surplus rev.
enue OF former years. Tbis added
to the above sum of $50, 900 0O0 increases
the surplus revenue of 1889 10 S74,00O,-
600. This does not include the balance
which will be covered into the treasury
on the 30sh OF June, 1889, of the unex-
pended appropriation Of 1887 ard other
years, whlcc, according TO toe estimates
made, will not be less than Sc, 600, 900. In
the expenditures there is Included nearly
S48, 000,0 600 for the sinking fund, which
is really part OF the surplus revenues,
and II added will mske a total OF SI22,-
100000 Ct revenue in excess OF
the sctusl and necessary expenditures
Of the government for the fiscal
Year 1888, which would make
the actual increase CT the Surplus 5: toe

The estimate OF unexpelaed balance st
The close Of this 4 -cal year given above Is
x.remelY low compared with the actual
oalarcs5 which have remained ulsx-
pended in prior yesrs. For in-
stance, June 30, 1883, the un~
balance Of appropriations

With respect TO the probable revenues
Dr. the fiscal ysar 1889, the books of the
fessury show that during the present
seal year up to and including Ooto-
er Is, the dsly receipts have
ggressted SlIS, 9S6,5GG az sgsinst
5,8SS. 755 for the came period
'h.ch may be more than made up By TIE
Increased receipts during the remainder
I the year, watch decrease is not more
1an usual during the few months inme-
lately preceding presidential
lection. There is therefore no
aeson to believe that the actual receipts
u the tiscsl yesr 1889 Will fall f.r be-
~ the estimated receipts. In view Of
le Increased activity in all branches of
uslness 1t Is believed that they will fully
qasl Ii not exceed the estimate
