A SURPLUS IN FEBRUARY.
THE FIRST FOR THAT MONTH SHOWN IN
SIX YEARS.
A STEADY INCREASE IN RECEIPTS FROM CUSTOMS
AND INTERNAL REvENUE-THE FIRST
EIGHT MONTHS OF THE FISCAL
YEAR SHOW A GAIN OF OVER

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE.1
TWO SOURCE

Washington. Feb 2S-For the first time in six
years the February receipts Of the Nationa,
Treasury have exceeded the current ordinary
expenses OF the Government in the same month.
They have also demonstrated beyond question
that as revenueproducer the existing tariff
law will exceed the expectations OF It's warInest
advocates and the estimates Of It's trainers and
supporters in Congress. and that the assertions
OF its enemies tina; IL is "a tariff FOR deficit are
as groLndless as other assertions made by them
during the last fifteen years
The February statement Of receipts and ex-
penditures also furnishes evidence OF a gradual
and general revival Of prosperity in the receipts
on account OF internal revenue. which also ex-
coed those Of any prior February sine 1892.
The total receipts for the current month
amounted TO S2S.512 35S and the total expendi
lures to S27 621 COO leaving a surplus for the
month Of S9i535S without taking into account
the 100000 TO he returned TO the Treasury on
account Of the deposit made in December. 1891
to qualify the Government bidder for the
Kansas Pacific Railroad. Adding that amount
the surplus Of the month is swelled to 81 SD.
35S. The expenditures include item Of 3d.
100000 on account Of interest which is about
100000 in excess OF the usual amount of in
terest charged to February.
Inc receipts or customs revenue IN the month
amounted TO $1,000, 6S0-S3 453 600 more than
in February, 1897. and more than in any prior
February since 1898: the receipts Of internal
revenue amounted 10 S12.O033l9-Sl.l14.s9
more than in February. 1897 and more than
in any prior February since 1882, when the
total amounted 10 SD. $50 3S7; and the receipts
from miscellaneous sources amounted 70
81 52S 35s
The following tabular statement shows the
total receipts and expenditures Of each Febru-
arg from 1892 to 1895. both inclusive. and the
excess OF receipts or expenditures in each

amounted to about 500 900. and the daily aver
