A FALSE TREASURY REPORT.

1t was intimated by several corre-
spondents in Washington, just before
the treasury statements were made for
the fiscal year which ended June 80. that
the payment of considerable sums due
had been delayed until the early days Of
July, the object being to make the def
cit for the fiscal year 1886 appear as
small as possible. At the time little at
tention was given to this statement, it
being assumed that the treasury author
tiles could have NJ object in deceiving the
country regarding its expenditures and
deficits. Now it comes out that the
treasury officials have lone this very
thing, the expenditures the first forty
eight hours of July being $4,000. 600 in
round numbers, while the excess of ex-
p~enditures over receipts was nearly $4,-
900, 900. At this rate there would be a
deficit the nex fiscal year of $500, 900, 900.
All of this goes to prove that the treas
ury officials have deliberately deceived
there was an excess of receipts over dis
bursements in June, and that the deficit
the last fiscal year was $42. 800, 900. AS a
matter of fact. there was really the
usual deficit in June. except that it was
less last Month than during preceding
months. At the rate of the payments of
the two first days in July. the disburse-
ments of the present fiscal year would
reach 5000, 600, 900 instead of 1855, $50, 900.
which was last years expenditure. A
Washington correspondent states that
when the delayed payments belonging to
the last fiscal year are accounted for the
deficit therein will be in reality nearly
$50. 900, 900. The show of economy which
the treasury officials nave made in COM
pairing the expenditures of 1894 and 1895,
whereby the expenditures in the latter
were made to appear s11 .275, 900 less in
the last than in the year preceding, is
simply a fraud to deceive the people and
to gain a credit not due the administra-
ton. 1t is a fraud which has never be-
fore been resorted to by the Treasury
Department. and one which, if it were
made by the officers of a private corpo-
ration in its annual financial state
ments, would cause some sudden va
