MUST TRANSPORT HER TROOPS
United States Will Not Agree to Send
Back to Spain Amy But Soldiers Who
Surrendered.

Back to Spain Any But Soldiers Who
Surrendered.
One of the most important questions
which will be settled by the two mill
tary commissions will be whether
Spain or the United States will bear
the expense necessary to send the
Spanish troops in Cuba and Puerto
Rico back to Spain. The administra-
tion is opposed to paying for the trans
portation of the Spanish army, other
than those troops which surrendered
to Gen. Shafter or Gen. Miles. For all
such troops which are in reality pris-
oners of war the United States is per-
fectly willing to provide transporta-
ton. This is being illustrated at the
present by the sending of Gen. Toral's
army back to Spain.
1t is feared by officials of the admin
istration that Spain hopes and expects
that this government will be as liberal
and provide transportation for the
Spanish armies in Cuba and Puerto
Rico. Army and navy officers say,
however, that no such plan will be
agreed to by the military commissions
representing the United States.

August is almost always dull bust
ness month. Last August was a rsot-
able exception. The clearings were the
largest ever known in that month.
They exceeded by % per cent. those
of 1892. There have not been for five
years as few failures in any one month
as in that which closed last week. AS
one of the commercial agencies puts
it: Business is larger than in the
best of all past years, and yet there
is every prospect of much further in
crease" Nevertheless in a few weeks
Altgeld and other Bryanites will be
roaming from place to place proclaim
ing to all who can spare the time to
hear them that there is no real prosper
ity and there never can be any until A.
cent free coinage silver dollars flow
from the mints in food and inundate
the country. These prophets of evil
will go past busy factories. through
fertile fields from whose products the
farmers are getting good prices. and
through cities and towns where all is
activity and con fdence, and will CRY out
continually: Yet a little while and
prices will be low and laborers idle
if the country does not have cheap dol
lars and debtors are net enabled to
swindle creditors" 1t is no wonder
that the Bryauite orators who are
about to start out on their fall anIi-
prosperity crusade feel blue. They
have a terribly uphill job of it this
year. As "the stars in their courses
fought against Sisera" so is the iubilapt

THE NATIONS FINANCES.
CreditRble Work of the ADM m istrn-
tion shown In the Treas
ury Department.

Not the least remarkable of the
achievements of the present national
government at Washington is found
in its skillful and accurate adjustment
of the nations revenues to the ma
tion's expenses. The success with
which this has been done, both in
peace and war. stands out in striking
contrast with the failure of the dem
ocratic government of the preceding
years. An examina tion of the official
figures for the last year shows a re-
markable accuracy in making the rev.
enues meet the disbursements of the
treasury through the Dingley tariff
and allied sources, and an examination
Of the figures for the month of August
shows the same thing with regard to
the war revenues.
For purposes of clearer comparison
it will be helpful to separate the pro-
visions for peace times and those for
war expenses and to reduce each to
daily averages. AS the postal service
is almost exactly self-supporting, it
may be left out of the calculation.
Exclusive of this. the government ex-
penditures have for several years aver
aged a little less than $1,000,000 a day,
so that a revenue of that amount suf-
feed to meet peace expenses at the
start and provide a slight surplus as
the populatio increased. The act of
1897 was intended to yield about $780,
100000 in customs. averaging $52000o
daily; $157,000,OOO internal revenue,
averaging $430,000 daily; and about $22.-
600, 900 miscellaneous receipts, aver
aging about 100000 daily-a total of
$1.o10,O00 daily. When war broke out
it was judged that at least $13S,000,0O0
should be added to the yearly revenues,
or $37s,0O0 daily. these being the fig
ures given by Chairman Dingley in his
estimate of what the war tax would
yield. This was expected to raise the
total internal revenue to $S08, 900 daily,
and the total income of the govern
ment to $1.3S8,0OO daily.
How closely the actual receipts have
approximated these calculations is
now shown in the official returns for
August, the second month after the
new act went into force. The follow
ing table explains itself:

The internal revenue and miscel-
laneous receipts are naturally small
er in August than in July or in other
months which include quarterly pay
ments. The internal revenue for July
was $26,171 900, making the average
s25.C93, 900 monthly. The miscellaneous
receipts for July also bring the month
" average in that department up to
S2.0l20O0, so that in each branch the
calculations are surprisingly sus-
tanned by the actual results. Customs
receipts naturally fell off little dur
ing the war, but August, the first
month of peaceful commerce, shows
receipts slightly in excess of the cal
culations. Taking all branches to-
gether, the income and outgo have
maintained a steady and reassuring
balance alike in peace and war, thus
laying a solid foundation for the re-
turn of confidence and for a firm be-
lief in the practical business ability of
the republican party.
This large revenue in August, coupled
with the receipts from the popular
bonds sold by the treasury. caused the
receipts to exceed the expenditures
during the month. The cost of run
ming the government and the war in
August was $50, ,26o,717, yet $22,35s,025
was added TO the cash in the treasury.
part of this was necessarily with
drawn from circulation by the buy
ers of bonds, but the large deposits in
the national banks fully offset this,
and the SIT, ,799 decrease in circula-
tion during the month was not felt
for the good and sufficient reason that
the money still in the hands of the
people was 81, ,792, ,o0G,5 ,545, or 1896 per
capita. After this month there will
be no more payments to make on the
war bonds, and the treasury reserve,
which has been piling up unnecessar-
lily high, will probably be pulled down
little by continued war expenses. In
the end the expenditures will come re-
markably close to balancing the re-
ceipts. 1t is no mean triumph of
craftsmanship TO go through a war
without hitch or jar in the nations
finances.-Chicago Tribune.
