public opinion having decided
change of policy" says Secretary Fos-
ter, particularly in the tariff laws, the
altered conditions resulting therefrom
render it impossible at the present time
to estimate the annual income with any
marked degree of accuracy, and it is
impossible to predict the effect such
proposed radical changes would have
upon the future revenue of the govern
ment.
.sunder all of the circumstances, it
would be inappropriate in me to under
take to make an estimate other than as
already stated, but it is not out of
place to remark that the business COM
munity have full knowledge of the
proposed tariff reductions, the inevita-
bic result of which will be falling off
in importations and corresponding
decrease in the revenues. The extent
of this decrease no one will be
able to measure until business shall
| again adjust itself to new condi-
tions. A careful review of all tho
facts fully justifies the opinion that the
large Increase in receipts ascribed to
the marvellous prosperity of the coun-
| try under the present revenue system
| would, if continued, enable the depart
ment during the coming fiscal year to
meet all obligations without the slight
est impairment to it's cash, and there
after continue to show a material inn
provement in its conditirn. Legis-
lation will determine the amount
to be appropriated and ndninistra-
ton will in many instances define the
sum to be expended in any one year.
| The committees of congress can, with
| the data here furnished, more closely
| determine the appropriations to be
made for the year ending June 30,
1894, and also of the expenditures to
be made therefrom and from continu-
ing appropriations above referred to,
than it is possible for the department
