Senator Carlisle Discusses "the Vanishing
Surpius"-He Shows a Deficit of ssS4,-
900, 600 For Next Year-A Tale of Repub-
lican Extravaganza and High Tariff Tax
alton.
f Everybody has known that the Re-
publican majority in Congress hasabout
succeeded in squandering the great sur
plus in the Treasury. Everybody has
heard intimation, too, that deficit is
likely to take the place Of the surplus in
the near future. Republican Senator's
themselves have made public statements
which showed that the possibility of a
deficit was looming up to disturb the
peace of the Republican lawmakers.
The quiet haste with which Speaker
Reed and the small cabal now running
the House of Representatives let the di-
rect tax refunding bill drop was another
Indication that the bottom of the Treas
ury would soon be reached.
The exact state of the Treasury and
its future condition have thus come to
DC subjects of speculation and prophecy;
but there was no trustworthy informa-
tion which took account of the future
demands upon the Treasury together
Will its resources for meeting them.
Such statement has now been made
by the most competent authority in
public life, Senator Carlisle, of Ken
mcky, lie does this in striking article
IN the Forum Magazine for February,
entitled ''rhe Vanishing Surplus"
Senator Carlisle finds that the condi-
Won of the Treasury at the close of the
present fiscal year, June 30, 1891, will

Another interesting comparison is the
following: From 1880 to 1910, includ-
ing the period of the Seminole war; the
population increased 32.67 per cent and
the expenditure increased 80 per cent
from 1910 to 1850, during which time the
war with Mexico was commenced and
prosecuted to a successful illumination,
the population increased S5.S7 per cent,
and the expenditures increased SO per
cent: bat from 1880 to 1890, a period OF
profound peace, population increased
2457 per cent and expenditures in
creased So per cent. The ordinary ex-
penditures for the current fiscal year,
1891, will be at least IL per cent. greater
than in $780, although the population,
as shown by the recent census is in
creasing at a rate of less than ~ per

In view of this increased expenditure
and the increased tariff taxation which
it indicates, Senator Carlisle concludes:
"The public peace may be preserved,
the rights of person may be scrupu-
lously respected, and ample remedies
may be afforded for all injuries inflicted
upon the citizen by private individuals,
but all this will not make the people
prosperous, or permit them to be 30, if
the Government itself robs one pa It of
them for the purpose of distributing the
spoils to another part, Generosity is
commendable virtue, but justice
greater one. 1t is the confirmed and in
durable habit of the party now in pow
er to dispose of the public money in
wasteful and extravagant manner, and
there is no reason to suppose that it
will cease to pursue this course until
the Treasury is exhausted. What was
two years ago the richest public treas
ury in the world, will be substantially
bankrupt long before the term of the
present Administrator shall expire, and
then, perhaps, even the executive Of
fcers of the Government, who now de-
light in creating deficiencies to be sup
piled by additional appropriations, will
be willing to assist in devising some
plan by which expenditures can be cur
tailed"
