UNCLE SANS MONEY BOX,
Al hual Report of the Treasurer OF
the United States
For the Fiscal Yeaf Ended iane SO; 1855
A Gratifying lin proyement Iii
the Condition of the
Public Debt.

WASHINGTON. Nov 2s-The treas
urer of the United States, Mr.. Nebe-
ker, has submitted his annual report for
the yeaf ended Jui1e 30, fs92
The net ordinary revenues Of the guv-
erflftent for the fiscal Year were 1884,
9a7,7s4, decrease of s57 ,614, 6b5 as COM
pared with the year before. The f1ct
ofdlnary expenditures were s345;O2S;-
$50. decrease of SO, $40, ,35f Tie siIr=
plue revenues were thus cut down frofii
s37. .239, 762 to $40, 914, 45s. Including the
public debt the receipts for the year
were 1916 40t, ,296, and the expenditures
s6Si. 019, ,2Sg
Considered with respect to the effect
upon the treasury the receipts are di-
vided into two general classes, of which
the first, comprising the ordinary reve-
nues, the receipts from loans, and the
deposits for the retirement of national
bank notes, increase for the time the
cash available for the uses of the gov
ernment while the second arising from
the issue of gold, silver and currency
certificates, United States notes and
treasury notes, tend to swell the assets
of the treasury but do not affect the
available balance. For the first of
these classes the figures show an ex-
cess of efghty=eight millions of expen-
ditures over revenues i'll 1s9i, and one
of upwards Of twenty-seveh millions
in 1892 Iii the secoild class there was
an excess Of i1early sixty-nine millions
of receipts in the former year and ole
of eighty millions in the latter As
compared with 1891. there was a saving
of upwards of fourteen millions of in
tefest otit bf which a surplus was re-
allied, notwithstanding the cutting
down of the revenues by legislation:
Analysing the true condition of the
treasury and setting aside the trust
funds, the treasurer shows that there
was working balance of cash and de-
posits Id bank amoiiiitihE to s207, no.
4a2 at the beginning Of the year nfid TO
S165, us, I'll at the end. OF the former
amount $4,000, 600 and of the latter
s114, 100000 was gold The success
which has attended the efforts of the
reserve is considered satisfactory in
view of the heavy disbursements.
The amount of the public debt is
given as 81, 545, g9a, 591 on June 30, 1901,
and 81, ,5S3, 464, 144 OH June 30, 1899.
The loans resting on the credit Of the
United States were cut down from
s1,u05, SOC, $50 to s96S, ,21s, $40. while
those secured by full deposits in the
treasury Increased from s54o, $780, s0ji to
$500, 245, ,304
There was gratifying Improvement
in the condition of the debt, produced
by the reduction of the interest-bear-
ing loans, the conversion of matured
bonds into others payable at the OPP
tion of the secretary of the treasury and
the extinction of considerable part of
the loans payable on demand The
