STATEMENT Of the receipts and ex-
penditures OF the government during
the month OF May shows receipts es fol-
lows: Customs S12,474, 55S. receipts

revenue S10,754,053, same month last
year 1904, $50; miscellaneous SO, 272,-
O7s, same month last year Sl.226, 976
The total receipts were, therefore, S25, -
272,O7S as against S23 .o66,994 during
May, 1894. The receipts for the eleven
months Of the present fiscal year are
S2s7, 694 .6s1, against S27o, 474. 40 for the
same period last year. The disburse-
ments for the last month amount to
S2s, 55S,2l3, which makes the deficit for
the month S3.2s6.13 and for the eleven
months a6,7574 95. From this 1t would
appear that in spite of Republican ridi-
cule OF the new tariff bill the revenues
are steadily increasing.
