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.
.Trnder 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 q 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-
i tions. A careful review of all the
facts fully justifies the opinion that the
large increase in receipts ascrlbed 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 its cash, and there

Az hual Report of the Treasurer of
the United States
For the Fiscal Yeaf Faded iine SO; 1881
A Gratifying Improvement fiji
the Condition of this
Public Debt.

WASHINGTON. Nov es.-Thc treas
urer of the United States. Mr.. Nebe-
ker, has submitted his annual report for
the year ended June 30; 1899.
The net ordinary REVENUES Of the gov
eriihent for the fiscal year were sa54. J.
9s7.7s4, decrease of sB7 7,674, 1888 as cotn-
pared with the year before. The fiet
ofdinary expenditures were s345; ;02S;-
$50, decrease of SID, $40, ,s5f The siir-
plue revenues were thus cut down frofn
sS7, ,239, 1852 to $40, 914, ,45a. Including the
public debt the receipts for the year
were 1876, 40t, ,296, and the expenditures
s6S4, ,O19, 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 revc-
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
available balance. For the first of
these classes the figures show an ex-
cess Of eighty=eight millions of expen-
ditures over fevefues i'll 1891; and one
of upwards Of tWenty-seveh millions
in 1892: Id the secoiid class there was
an excess Of iiearly sixty-nine millions
of receipts in the forlfier 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 Of which a surplus was re-
allied, notwithstanding THE cutting
down of the revenues by legislation:
Analysizing the true condition of the
treasury and setting aside the trust
funds, the treasurer shows that there

posits Id bank amoiifitihS to 1907, no.
4h2 at the beginning Of the year aid to
s165, rs, 1a1 at the end. Of the former
s114, 800, 900 was gold. The success
which has attended the efforts of the
department to maintain strong gold
reserve is considered satisfactory in
view of the heavy disbursements.
The amount of the public debt is
given as 81, ,545, ,93a, sol on June 30 1901,
and 81 .5S3. AGA, ,144 OH June 80, 1899.
The loans resting OH the credit of the
United States were cut down from
s1;005, SOC, $50 to S96S, ,21S, $40. while
those secured by full deposits in the
treasury Increased from S540, 1gU; ;05i to
$500, 245, ,3O4
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
