Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-12-23

report or the secretary of the treasury
Carlisle, was sent to congress today. L
show that during the first five months o
the present fiscal year the expenditure.
OF the government exceeded the re
ceipts S2S,9IS,095. This was brought
about by the decrease in receipts. The
increase in the expenditures as com
pared with the corresponding months
OF last year customs revenues, fell of
23,5S9, 500. Internal taxes S7,S66, 667.
On Dec. l there was a net balance in
the treasury of 11,033, AS. OF the
total amount held S12,347,517 is in
subsidiary silver and minor CONS. He
estimates the deficiency at the close
CT the year ct s2S,OOO,OOO. To meet this
be recommends the Amending of the
special payments resumption act of 1875
to authorize him to sell three per cent
bonds not exceeding s201.0OO,OOO in
amounts at not less than par, saying
however, that in his opinion, only great
pressing financial emergencies justifies
such course. He estimated the revenues
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1894
on the basis of the existing laws at
S454, ,74S and the expenditures at
S44S, 1903, 7S9. He estimates the revenues
from customs at Sl9O,OOO,OeO. If the
importations for the fiscal year should
not exceed those of 1893 the receipts
under the pending tariff bill will be
s122,OO0,OO0, but the secretary believes
that the proposed reductions will in
crease importations and thinks that
with close economy and increase of
100000 internal revenues will sup
ply the necessary funds for the govern
ment.

that it is not wise to attempt to change
the tariff laws during present session.
Hoar addressed the senate. upon the
Hawaiian question and said he would
devote himself to the American ques-
tion as to who was the United States of
America. He said:
The president in undertaking decide
the Hawaiian question and withhold
from the people what he was doing unit
it Is settled one way or the other,
seemed to him that the president sup
posed he was the United States OF
America and that whatever that phrase
meant, the question now was whether
the people of the United States were
living under a constitution or dictator.

foreign relations, offered the following
