AT the treasury department the new law
is proving equally satisfactory. The re-
month of November average fully million
dollars for each business day, while there
is every reason to expect that the increase
in the importations of manufactured articles
and sugar which will come with the begin
ming of the year will add from to 10
million dollars per month to the receipts,
thus bringing them above the requirements
for the running expenses of the govern
ment, and putting the treasury in posi-
ton to again accumulate sufficient surplus
to carry on the business of the government
with safety, and reduce somewhat, at least,
the indebtedness incurred under the Wilson
law by liberal contributions to the sinking
fund, and the creation of such general
surplus as will be needed to meet the out
standing bonds when they fall due.
