sANGUINE DEMOCRATS.
Treasury officials generally express the
opinion that Secretary Carlisle's estimate
of surplus of $22,5OO,OOO for the calen-
dar year 1895 is conservative. It is arged
that the customs duties on sugar alone
should bring in at least $35,000,000 dur
ing the next eleven months, and that the
revenue from the income tax is likely to
reach $4O,0OO,OOO. The receipts from
general customs and from whisky with
drawals are expected to materially in
crease from now on, which, it is believed
will bring the receipts for the twelve
months up to about $3S0,500,000. The
disbursements for the year, it is thought,
will not exceed 1851, 100000, leaving a
surplus after deducting the $7,000,000 of
deficit for January of $22,500,000. The
internal revenue officials in figuring on
the receipts from income taxation es:i-
mate that the returns prior to July will
amount to $10,O00,000, and for the re-
naming six months $3O,000,O00.

matter until after the case should have
