small way when he could get people Interested
in his schemes. but his career may be said to
have closed with the big deal OF 1891. No one

EXPENDITURES

r
Washington. March Is (SpeciaD.-For the first
time in number Of months the receipts of reve-
ME from customs. internal taxes and miscel-
Isneous sources the first half Of a NOR have
exceeded the current expenditures Of tla Gov
ernment The receipts from the sources men
toned for the first fifteen days Of March
amounted to S33.S71 $50. and the expenditures
to S25.975. 900, leaving a balance OF S',S96'sNo
on the right side Of the ledger. The receipts
from various sources were as follows: customs
$40 COG 3O2. internal taxes. Sl0.s1692+; miscel-
laneous, $1244N,653
The steady increase Of customs receipts is es-
necially gratifying not only as evidence OF a
substantial and general revival and growth or
prosperity among the people whose purchasing
mower has thereby been increased. but also or
the revenue producing power of the existing
tariff law which has been the subject Of so much
severe and unfounded criticism from its politi-
cal enemies II now seems altogether probable
that the March receipts on account OF customs
duties will exceed $210000o. and that they
NAV rise a million above that figure; and that
the increase over Februarys receipts from the
same source will exceed S4,Wo,0Oo. and may
reach $5.H0.OO0.
