S136,S61,S12 DEFICIT.
The Dcmocracy's Own statement of lIow
II Has Run the Nation in Debt -


Washington. D. c., April o7.--The
ing June 30. 1896, will be approximately
SO. 900. 900. This Is the opinion of Of
ficials and others best qualified to make
an Intelligent estimate of the result of
the fiscal operations of the year. In
his annual estimates sent to congress
at the beginning of the present session,
the secretary of the treasury estimated
the receipts from customs during the
year at S172.OO0.000. So far, with nearly
ten months Of the year gone, the GUS
toms receipts have reached about $751;
100000. with fair prospect Of increas-
ing to S165. 100000 by the close of the
year. The estimate Of the receipts from
internal revenue sources was $15S.00O.- :
900. Up to this time they have reached
$12O, ,000,0 900, and it is expected that the
figures for the completed year will be
about $l46, 100000.
The receipts from miscellaneous
sources are expected to slightly exceed
the estimates of $l5, 900. .0OO making the
total receipts for the year about 1927,
000,0OO The secretary's estimate of the
years expenditures was 1862 ZOO. 900.
which. according to his figures, would
leave a deficiency of $17.OOO00O. The
actual expenditures. however, it is now
/, thought. will aggregate about $685.. 900,
600, or $40, 900, 900 less than Mr.. Carlisle's
estimate of December last, so that the
deficit at the close of the year, 1t Is
believed. will not show any very mate
rial change from Saturdays figures
$25, 1G2, 423 This makes the total deficit
for the three fiscal years ending June 30
| 1885, $136. SCI ,S12.
The secretary's estimates at the time
they were made were believed by those
of long experience in the department
to be extremely conservative. The re-
CEfpts frUm DUth customs and Internal
revenue sources, however. have beer
| surprisingly low, and there does not
seem to be any immediate prospect OF
| material improvement.

trust, are insisting on a radical policy,
and they have gone too far to right
about. a change i'm tactics now would
hurt them almost as much as to go
ahead and be beaen. So il Is quite
probable that in the preliminary strug-
giles of the Illinois convention McKin-
ley will meet with reverses. But this
should not be accepted as conclusive
on the final verdict. Senator Cullom,
Candidate Tanner and Congressman
Lorimer and the leaders of the Chicago
organization think they are going to
prevent instructions, yet the margin is
too narrow for them to put too much
trust in the mistakes of the majors
supporters. The whole country under
stands the bearing of the result on. the
st. Louis convention. If Mckinley in
structions are beaten in Illinois the
combination may take fresh courage.
Senator Allison has perhaps more d.
rect interest than the other candidates,
because, next to Cullom, most of the
uiinstructed delegates are for him.

Son-llarmOny Is Predicted BY
Robert Wright.

Allentown, Pa, April 27.-This town
is showing visible evidence of the near
ness of the Democratic state conven-
ton. The hotel lObbles and haunts of
politicians are filling with party lead
ers and workers. Every incoming
train Is adding to the crowd. Pitts
burg and Dauphin delegates arrived
this evening and are making their
headquarters at the American hotel
breezy and lively. National Chair
man Harrity drifted quietly into town
late last night and was busying him.
self all day with convention prelimi-
naries. Tonight he Is closeted at State
Chairman Wrights home with the lat
ter, Naval Officer Wright and other
leaders. Among the afternoon arriv-
ais were James h. o. Cowan, of Green's
burg, and nited States District Attor-
ney Harry Il. Hall, Of Ridgway. Chair
man Wright today appointed James s..
Dillinger, of this city, as his private
secretary and assistant to Secretary
NJ. w. Savage.
National Chairman Harrity declared
this evening that he was satisfied
that there will be little II any
opposition in the convention to
the endorsement of Pattison. and says
he cannot figure out more than seven
ty-five votes against the unit rule. The
unit rule, he said, would be of incalcul-
able value to Governor PattisOn's can
didacy for the presidency, as it would
enable his friends to make deals in his
behalf. 1t Is the unit rule, he declared,
that gives New York its great power
in national conventions.
State Chairman Robert r. Wright.
who has headquarters at the American
house, is equally confident. and pre-
diets that the convention will be re-
markable for the exhibition of har-
mony that will be made.
There is quite large amount of work
for the committee on contests to do
but no trouble is anticipated in
smoothing away all the rough spots.

M'KlNLEY ON CURRENCY.
Important Letter from Senator sherman
70 the Brooklyn Young Re publican Club

Brooklyn. n. Y, April 21.-At meet
ing of the Brooklyn Young Republi-
can club this evening a letter from
Senator John Sherman, of Ohio. was
read. in which he said There can be
no doubt as to the opinions of Major
Mckinley on the money question, He
is committed in every form, by speech
and otherwise to the Republican policy
of maintaining the present gold coin of
the United States as the standard of
value.
He. in common with myself and 9TH
ers. believes that silver should be em-
ployed as money, always. however. to
be maintained at par with gold. The
convenience of silver coins for the
minor transactions of life is so mani
fest that no sound money man would
desire it's discontinuance. but upon the
primary conditions that it's coinage
should be limited and it's purchasing
power maintained by the fiat Of the
government at par with gold He be-
lieves. as I do, that IA tariff should be
adopted that will impartially protect all
American industries from undue conf
petition with foreign productions that
can be and ought to be produced in
the United States. The meeting passed
resolutions indOrsing Mckinley as the
presidential candidate by large ma
