GOVERNMENT REVENUES.
Heavy Failing OF In the Past. Two Weeks
sTo,nn, rad yI.h Au~,s,

Compared With August.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE reve-.
MUGS of the government have fallen Off
almost S13, 600, 900 in round figures for
the first fourteen days of this month,
compared with the last half of August.
The receipts from customs for the first
fourteen days of this month amounted
to S9,227,0oO Tin round numbersl,
against SO, 100, 900 for the last half of
August, while the receipts from inter-
nal revenue We're bnt 81, a92, 900, COM
pared with $40, 634, 900 for the latter
half of August. The loss is due to the
enormous sums paid on whisky which
was withdrawn for consumption JUS.
before the c tariff act Increasing
tile tax from so cents TO Sl.lO per gall
lon, went into effect. The receipts frotn
internal revenue for the first fourteen
days of this month dwindied to -, 972,-
300, or about $3.50, 600 below the nor
NAL, and We're not counterbaianced by
IN increase in the receipts from Gus
toms due to heavy importatlons under
the reduced rates Immediately follow-
ing the enactment of the new law. The
custom ceceipts increased about SO, O0U,-
Oon.
Lie IGCcIptS from l1tpElial revenue
are now confined almost entirely to the
tax paid on beer, cigars. cigarettes and
tobacco. and average. about S25Q.Q00
per day. For the two months. July
und August, while so much WHISKY was
being withdrawn, the receipts averaged
over Il million dollars daily.
The normal withdrawal of alcoholic
spirits tboth for the urts and potable
spirits) amounts to about 5000, 300 gail
Ions per month. tTd the treasury DO
partment estimates thai about four
months supply in addition to that for
current use was withdrawn during July
and August. 1t is not expected that
the receipts from the tax on alcoholic
spirits will reach the normal again be-
fore January /, 1895. This will have
the effect, it is believed, of keeping
the receipts of the treasury down to
about W. thirds of normal, or in other
words. to about So, 600. 900 per
month until january l., the nor
NAL receipts averaging about So, oOO,-
600 or S33, 900. 900. This estimate, it
should be stated, leaves out of account
any large increase in importations
arising from the operations of the new
tariff law. The expenditures have av-
eraged about S34, 00o. 900, but. without
the sugar bounty, which is now ii thing
of the past, they will pe reduced to
about S31, 000, 900.
For the next four months is is esti-
mated that the receipts will be about
Sss, 600 200, and the expenditures about
$l2e,o0O, coo. January /, however, the
CORRECTION of the income tax for the last
slX months oil the current year viii take
place, aud this will swell the receipts
to about 500, 600. 900, so that ut tho
beginning of the next current year the
treasury, when the receipts will resume
their normal figures, would be on the
wrong E side Of the ledger about Sa4.-
100000, There is to be deducted from
this. however, $1,000, 900 which the
treasury gained during July and Au-

American Manufactures Abroad.

"American manufacturers. will never
he able to compete satisfactorily with
European exporters who have obtained
a fooihold in spanish-American coun.
tries until they abandon old : time
methods OF packing and shipping" said
l.. r. Curtis of New York. who was in
St. Louis on his way to Mexico.
American goods are cheaper and
generally more appropriate for these
countries but they are packed in such
an i%neonrenicnt manner that il is often
impossible for them to be handled at
their journeys end. | remember once
shipping Il Very large bill of goods to
Mexico and having the shipment re-
fused at the other end because the pack
ages were too large. although they
We're no larger than are generally used
in this country. The explanation was
that they We're wanted for an inland
poiut and were tooawkward and clumsy.
Tor the pack-mnies. have never had
any difficulty since and don't see any
reason why any one else should do SO.
Among the mass of literature issued
by the government recently there is a
rctarn Oh this very question of packing
which is well worth reading. American
c%oal.oil is just rs good MS the Russian,
but this report points out how rapidly

many countries because its shippers are

sized barrels suitable for hauling across

Kansas Hass a $4,000 Factory Which
win Put Ont the New Metal.
TOPEKA, A.as.. Sept. II. Now that
the aluminium age is upon ..us, one of
the largest manufacturing establish
ments in the state will soon be con
verified into an aluminium factory. Eng
fish capitalists invested over $3.50. 600
in Il smelling plant ut Turner, in wy
andottc county. 1t was completed
about the time the Earrings failed and
the necessary operating capital, which
mad been promised the projectors of
the mammoth enterprise, was not fur
nishc d. Without funds To, start the
furnaces and lay in the sixty DAYS II D
ply OF ore necessary for IL. profitable
start the enterprise was never. started
up. SINCE, that i'm the silver agita-
ton and the general uncertainty of
values have rendered it impossihis to
secure the financial aid necessary.
During the last four months n party
o. gentlemen. headed by a man named
'schwan, haye been using a portion of
this smeiter plant in extensive expert
merits with II new process tor extracts
ing aluminium from clay. They have
been SO successful us 10 w~arraht:the
leasing of tbs. plant, and it will soon be
used for the! prodnction of that quality
OF aluminium called alumina, which is
an oxide used extensively in Tho manu-.
%facture of lard. Tits reported that Mr..
schwan has just closed large contracts
with packing houses in Chicago and
Kansas City for this product, several
earfonds to be delivered daily.
Under the old and more expensive
methods of manufacture this coming
metal has already become an important
fhetor in the manufacturing industries,
and as inventions cheaper the processes
OF securing aluminium there will un-
doubtedly be an immense expansion in
the uses ef the metal, until soon the
expected aluminium age will have
arrived in all its fullness.

WAsn1sGToS. Sept. 1.-THE firss
effects of the work OF the Doclsery ON
mission were felt in the treasury de-
partment Saturday when thirty clerks
Were dismissed from the classified SER
vice and the designations of two chiefs
OF divisions We're asked for. In his
crusade for the reduction of the multi
tndinous force of government clerks.
and ut the same time to obtain bette
government, Mr.. Dockerv ana his OK
ports have paid most attention to the
treasury department. The reforms
which have ieen instituted rave been
frequently eXp'atned and are generally
we'll understood, Under this reorgnn-
iAation there will be II dismissal of 1876
clerks in the treasury department.
Saturdays dis,nissals, therefore, leave
ia6 more to he plnde. 1t is thought,
however, that about 100 of these futed
clerks will he continued in the depart
meat up to January 1. An appropria-
tiou Of $40. 0uG va, made for the pur-
pose OF eifecting this proposed reorgan-
ization of the service, and this will
carry 100 additional clerks up to .Jauu-
airy J.
James Z Baker, Il chief rof division
in the treasury Office, was asked for his
resignation, us was Assistant Teller G..
w. Marriott. Both of these are re-
pubiicatis. and might have expected
dismissal in the ordinary course OF
events. The thirty clerks, however,
are dismissed from the clussitid service
and draw salaries from 1920 to 81, 500.
They We're employed in the Office of the
first comptroller of tho treasury and
the commissioner of internal revenue.
In diseharging these employees the sec
rotary OF the treasury gave no excuse
for the dismissal of the clerks from
the classified service, merely informing
them by letter that their services
would not be required after September.
Secretary Carlisle has fully settled for
himself the question OF civil service
ly enforced by the ~postotlice depart
ment.
Mir. Carlisle maintains that the sec
rotary of the treasury has power ut
any time to dismiss employees from the
classified service without stating the
cause therefor. This position was
strengthened ly the result of the test
case brought by the deposcd shipping
commissioner i'll Baltimore. The only
restriction recognized is reappoint-
mcnts or appointments to vacancies
must be IA from The classified serv-
ice, where such are made. in the pres
cnt instance, of course, there will be
no appointments to the vacancies cree
ated. The department claims to have
made the dislnissals as much as posi-
bic on tho merit basis, and win dis
charge the most undesirable clerks
throughout the Departments. transfer
ring good clerks who have been lcgis-
lated out of their regular positions, to
places in other divisions.
