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 from 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

of expenditures over revenues in 1891.
