NATIONAL FINANCES
AS INDICATED BY MONTHLY
STATEMENT
Secretary Gage Feels Quite Sure That
Prosperity Is Sure to Come
After a While

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The monthly
comparative statement of government
receipts and expenditures shows that
during the month of June the receipts
from all sources amounted to $50, ,5S4,-
70S, and expenditures $22, ,934, ,694, leaving
a surplus for the month of $13. OLA
The surplus during June, 1896, was ST.
.430. The statement shows that the
deficit for the fiscal year closed yester-
day was SIS, 1923, 10S, a reduction of $751;
S21 1856 since March 18th of the present
year. The receipts from customs dur
ing last June aggregated s21, 560,152 as
compared with $11, ,351, 1903 for June, 1896
Receipts from internal revenue sources
during last month were s12, SS7 ,OS5, loss
as compared with June, 1896, of about
$500,0
GAGE IS HOPEFUL
NEW YORK, July IA special to the
Herald says: "The governments finan-
cial affairs are in good shape" said Sec
retary Gage, in an interview. 1--WE have
come to the end of the fiscal year with
a good resource behind us and brighter
hopes for the future. 1 feel assured that
by the time June 80, 1898, rolls around
the governments affairs will be in bet
ter condition, while the people OF the
country will have cause for thankfulness
that new era of prosperity has set in.
with the end of the fiscal year 1896,
one year ago." continued Mr.. Gage, "the
gold reserve was only $102, 900, 600, or just
1. IL
$100, 100000. There was a fear that be-
fore the year was over there might be
very large exports, compelling the ad-
ministration to again issue bonds for
gold. Now we not only have gold re-
serve of Sal, 600 000 but there is not a
cloud in sight as to its continuance ap-
proxmately at that very comfortable
level. This is the most hopeful sign that
I see in the present condition Of the
government finances. for when the coun-
try is all right and the government all
right, the gold reserve is sure to be all
right, and vice versa.
cat the end Of this fiscal year, looking
over the official statement which had
been on my desk, the condition of the
government is all that could be desired.
There Is no trouble with the gold re-
serve, that barometer of confidence. The
business men, capitalists and investors
not only of our own country, but of the
world, are content with our situation
and prospects. All the nervousness
which formerly held us in its tolls has
disappeared. In its place We have con-
fidence in the future, confidence in the
government, confidence in ourselves
The boarding of gold has StOpped and
much of the yellow metal that was piled
away during the depression has come
out and gone into circulation.
THE closing of the fiscal year brings
US nearer to the passage of a new tariff
law, which will give business a settled
condition, we hope, for long time. That
it will also give the government suffi-
cient revenue for it's needs, doing away
with the deficit, we have satisfactory
evidence"

THE MINERS STRIKE
A Quarter of Million Men Will Go
Out

A Quarter of Million Men Will Go
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 1.-The exact
situation as to the miners strike mat
ter Is thus summed up: During the last
week there has been so much talk of
the miners wanting to strike that at the
meeting of !! the National Executive
Board of the Mine Workers Union in
Columbus last week it was decided to
order one in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana. Illinois and West Virginia, but the
order to suspend work has not yet been
sent out. AS the Pittsburg district is
the pivotal point around which the
coal trade revolves, a convention was
called for Saturday. At this conven-
ton 1t is thought the miners will al
most unanimously vote for general
suspension. ~
In the meantime word will be sent
out to the miners of Illinois, Indiana and
West Virginia and those who follow the
lead of the men in this district. Sus-
pensions are to date from Monday. 1t
is possible the Illinois miners in some
places will strike tomorrow or any time
before the fixed time to stop work Sat
urday. The officials report the men in
the five bituminous mining States to
be restless and wanted to strike instead
of waiting a few days longer. Several
small strikes have occurred. District
President Dolan of the Miners Union, in
an interview said: There is no ques-
ton that Saturdays convention will de-
clare for strike to occur at once. At
the mines where the men are working
under individual contracts, it is doubt
full if the men will come out. Many Of
the big companies have those contracts
with their men and the latter are salts
fed"
TIME TO ACT
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 1.-The
Express will say tomorrow:
Next Sunday, or prior to that day,
circulars will be placed in the hands of
all the btuminous miners in the United
States calling them out on strike. 1t is
estimated that 25O,00O men will be in
volved Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and parts of West Virginia and
Kentucky will contribute to the move
ment. The strike is to enforce the Co.
lumbus scale of So cents per ton for
Pennsylvania, 60 cents for Ohio and In
diana and SIS cents for Illinois. When the
Columbus scale was adopted 1t was not
thought advisable to attempt its en-
forcement. A committee was then ap-
pointed to take in hand the matter of a
strike, and to order one as soon as such
a course seemed opportune. This, COM
mittee has decided that the time has
come to act.
Streator, Ill.-A mass meeting of
miners here today voted unanimously
to go on strike now and not wait for a
general suspension order. AS con-
sequence no coal is being mined here,
and nearly 1000 miners are idle.
Braidwood, Ill.-The miners of
the entire Wilmington field met today
and decided by unanimous vote to go on
strike when the national officers shall
order a suspension of work.

tween the larger cities represented

dation of interests is to make it pos
sible for the independent companies
to fight the Bell people in every part

In the List of Coal Production-Ohio
Runs Her Close-The Output of the
State Increased Nearly 1900, 900
Tons.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June r.
From carefully prepared compila-
tion OF the statistics OF coal produc-
ton in the United States, just COM
pleted by Statistician E. w. Parker, Of
the United States geological survey, it
is shown that the output in 1896 was
100, $50, 95S short tons, valued at $l95, :
557, $40, which is decrease over 1895
solely in Pennsylvania anthracite, of
2, 477,57f in short tons, and 50, 241,-
304 in value.
In the list of coal producing states
Pennsylvania leads with $4,000, 600
tons. Illinois stands second and West
Virginia third, with Ohio fourth.
West Virginia's product in 1896 was
II, 876, 296 tons, valued at So, 1886, 6S5.
The race for supremacy between Ohio
and West Virginia was very close,
there being but a LOCO tons differ
ence, the output of each being nearly
Is, 900, 900 tons. The four states
named yield about 10 per cent. of the
total bituminous production in the
United States. Ohio lost AGO, 900 tons,
while West Virginia increased her
output nearly 800, 900 tons. Illinois
increased about 1000, 600 tons. The
West Virginia increase was the most
important recorded among the APP
palachian system.
