The monthly Treasury statement clean
away the misstatements with which the
country has been flooded by partisan
papers for partisan reasons during the
past two weeks. Two great facts stand
out in bold relief as a complete answer to
the assertions that the Treasury has no
cash on hand and that the nation is
virtually ban krupt The surplus in the
Treasury is sI53, SEQ. sos. The total cash
in the Treasury is s745,349, ,75L63. The
Treasury has ample money for current
needs, and ample money for future con
tingencies. There is no bankruptcy in
these figures and conditions.
