OVER The BUSINESS BOOM

The Chief Organ Of tho ProtcctIonlsts
Takes Alarm at tho Evidence of
Returning Prospcrlty-Cold Facts
for Its Dismal Forebodlngs.
Under the heading, "Where BUSH
pess i'd Booming" tho American
Economist of March 80 says:
,"A stroll through tho wholesale dry
goods district of New York City will
convince tho most skeptical that
Wholesale houses, large and small, arc

man free trade to buy everything
in thoir line anywhere but in tho
United States. This looks
to the casual observer like good times
and prosperity, but when We consider
that each one of these foreign boxes
and bales throws q dampening shower
on our own furnace fires, and that tho
prosperity is over tho wator and not
here, tho whole business assumes IN.

Docs it? How do the people pay
for those imported goods? There is
but one way-by exchange. The fact
that the American people are taking
advantage of the opportunity to Sc
euro cheap goods shows that they are
producing something to exchange for
these foreign goods. They are ct work
making what they can produce most
cheaply to exchange for what foreign
ers can produce most cheaply. This
will give us far greater prosperity than
we could attain by attempting to
mako those things which wo cannot
produce cheaply. Z p.
When we SEQ farmer purchasing

A Washington dispatch of the 30th
says that the Treasury deficit for the
fiscal year approximates $43, $50 ,0Oc.
This added to last years deficit of
nearly $4,000, 900, makes the excess
of expenditures over receipts since
June 30. 1898, about $l13,25O,OOO.
The total receipts of the government
this fiscal year, exclusive of postal
revenues, amount to nearly $3l3,0O0,-
600, and the expenditures $685., 250, 600,
Of which pensions took $74l 1871 ,523.
Last year the aggregate receipts, ex-
elusive Of postal revenues, were $297,.
722.0l9, and the expenditures $780,
525, 270. The receipts this year there
fore were SIS, PTS, 600 larger than last,
and the expenditures about $l1,I75,-
600 less. The postal service deficit is
about Sill 100000, which is consider
ably in excess Of that OF any recent
year.
The internal revenue department of
the government has contributed this
year to the receipts nearly $l43,000,-
600, as against little more than
$l47 100000 last year. The customs
this year made better showing than
last by about $2l 100000. Last year
the receipts from this source amounted
to nearly $l32, 600, 900. and this year
they approximate $l53,OOO,OOO. OF
this amount sugar contributed about
SIT $4,000.
The debt statement will show
an available cash balance of about
$l95, 100000, of which about $l07,-
100000 is gold reserve. This re.
serve will include payment in full for
the last bond issue, but the statement
will show a counter debt charge of
only $3l ,157 200 in bonds, or one-half
Of the whole amount issued. In ex-
PLANTATION of this seeming error, it is
said the formal transfer of the London
half Of the bonds has not yet been
made. The expenditure for July will
be exceptionally heavy, pension and
interest alone being expected to
amount to $40 100000.
During the fiscal year the number
of national banks in existence has de-
creased from 3,775 to 1922. Forty
one national banks have been organ
lied during the year, sixty have gone
into voluntary liquidation and thirty
six have been placed in the hands OF
receivers. The national bank circula-
ton has increased $4.337 ,791, from
SPOT .35S, 244 on July l. 1894, to SILL
69l,935 on July l, 1895. From July
10, 1894, to May 7, 1895, the nearest

A SERPENT IN THE WINE.-The &C.
currence of a number of tragedies
lately near San Demanding, CAL, has
been traced to the use OF certain wine
made at Csjou. The coincidence has

some property of the wine which sx-
cites the belligerant passions OF those
who use it. No less than four murder
in that little community. within the
past year, have occurred while tie
actors were frenzfed by that brand If
alcoholic beverage.
