publican Party.
WASHINGTON, Aug 20. - COMPTROLLER
Matthews of the Treasury Department said
to CALL correspondent to-day: There
is wonderful economical argument in
favor Of the Mckinley law. We are now
not collecting dollar more than is actually
needed to meet the expenses of the Govern
ment and leave respectable balance. Our
receipts for the last fiscal year were, In
round numbers, S354. coo, 600, and our ex-
penses were S3i5, 100000 OF the receipts
S17S,000,000 were contributed by customs
duties under the Mckinley law. Instead of
the balance each year growing larger it is
actually growing less. Our balance for the
fiscal year of 1891 was S37, ,000, 600; our bal
ance for the fiscal year just closed was only
SS,000000. Now, | want to ask our Demo-
cratic friends how they propose to reduce
the duties any with this situation confront
ing them. They profess to favor the cOllec-
tion by tariff duties of sufficient revenues TO
meet the wants of the Government, and yet
the slightest reduction in tariff duties will
necessarily come from the small surplus of
only about SS,000,0o0 which we have to
go on.
