negotiated, and will sool be laid before the
senate.

all mysalf Of il to o6tain some facts for
use here. The aggregate receipts from all
sources for the year were S3S7, $50, 05S ST. de
rived as follows: From customs, SIPS. S52,-
al 90: from internal revenue, $3.50, SSl ,5l3,-
%; from miscellaneous sources 49,, 335, SOB. %
The ordinary expenditures for the same
period were S2Sl 1896, 6l5. 60 and the total ex-
penditures, including the sinking fund, were
S329, 80, I29 %. Tne excess of receipts over
expenditures was, after providing for the
sinking fund, 1914, 10 80. For the cur

binary expenditures, actual and estimated,
are S:93 900. 900, making, with the sinking

by the treasury department at $500, 600. 900
and the expenditures for the same period, i'll

This shows an estimated surplus Tor that year
of S43, 500, ~ 80 which is more likely to be
increased thanreduced when the actual trans
actions are within 1t.
The existence of so large an actual and an
ticipated surplus should have an
