DEFICIT FOR JULY.
THE EXPENDITURE EXCEEDED THE
REVENUE BY NEARLY ST tsO0O, 900.

Pension Payments Are Larger Than Be-
fore and Are Expected to Increase-The
Imports Antjcipatory Of the Dingley Law
; Cost the Treasury About s4O.OOO,0Oo.
The fiscal year 1898 starts of with
deficit of nearly $1,000, 600 in, the
United States treasury for the first
month in spite of the fact that the re-
ceipts were greatly swelled by the rush
of importers to get goods into the coun-
try before the new tariff act went into
effect and by the heavy purchases OF
beer stamps by brewers to save the IN
per cent rebate.
Owing to these two causes the re-
oeipts for the month were swelled to an
aggregate of $50, ,O27. 368. %. or $l0,-
600, 600 more than the normal receipts
for month under the old tariff law.
For July Of last year the receipts from
all sources were t29, 029. 209.3
Large as were the receipts for the
month ending today, the expenditures
were still larger. amounting to e49,-
S9S, 900 as against e42. 088, 468. 05 for
the same month last year. More than
$4,000, 900 of this increase is on account
of public works under the direction Of
the war department brought about by
the large appropriations Of the last con-
gress for river and harbor improve
menta OF this amount $S, 500. 900 was
paid in a lump for the purchase Of the
improvements of the Monongahela river
from O private corporation.
The pension bill for July this year
amounts to $14, 958, 900. This is nearly
$4,000, 900 more than July last year
and indicates that the estimate made
by the pension Office two years ago that
pensions would begin todecrease during
this year was not we'll founded. On the
contrary, the effect of the policy Of the
new administration In removing some
of the requirements as 10 evidence tC
substantiate pension claims is being seer
already, and the pension expenditures
for the current year will be the heavies
in the history Of the government The
appropriation, which is the same as fol
last year, is more than t141, 900, 600
It is inevitable that there must be de
ficiency appropriation in addition, which
will bring the total pension erpendi
lures for the year to more than $3.50,
O00,0
The treasury receipts for August viii
be far below those for July, as. owinI
to the anticipatory importations an
purchases of beer stamps, both custom
and internal receipts will be light In
ternal revenue receipts are expected
be about normal again In. September
but customs will yield comparativel
