The "depiorabie treasury situation"
which Mr. Dockery emphasized in his
minority statement published yes;er-
day is hardly borne out by an inspec-
ton Of the treasury finances. While
the Federai expenses have grown very
rapidly. the receipts have advanced In
like proportion The receipts for Feb
ruary. for example. which il the light
est month OF the year. were greater
than tor any month. with the exception
OF three in 1897, since 1882. and were
more than Is per cent. greater than
those Of February In last year The
total receipts Tor 1898 were greater by
s3.ooo. 900 than those OF any year since
the panic The increase has but to con-
ttnue prcportionately to 90 amend the
deficiency spprehended by Mr. Dockery
as to make II seem forerunner Of con-
ditions most happily the reverse.

any immediate needs: and Score airy

ton has been conservative Judge. as
sures the country that 1t win be unnee-
essary for him to resort to the Issue Of
the balance of the war bonds as allowed
by the terms OF the revenue act.
Outside OF the government finances
proper the important fact Of the great
enlargement Of American trade must
be reckoned as a factor In the financial
condition OF the country. Every In
crease in the trade wealth adds to the
national tax schedule and contributes
directly 70 the government revenue. In
the year which has just closed the bal

the international exchange was over
$6l5. COG. 900. II will doubtless reach $780,
600. zoo by the close OF the current year.
OF this the treasury will receive its
proportionate benefit The upshot will
be rather toward an Improvement than
toward a decline OF the national solv-
ency. History shows that the bigger the
trade and the wider the territory OF the
country the richer will be its treasures.
and the more liberal may become Its
expenditures.
Necessary as may be the reasonable
restraints which Chairman Cannon
urged upon congress. the public would
not feel satisfied II congress had not been
sensitive Of the country's expanding
needs and willing to make appropria-
tions with every confidence In the ahIl-
ity Of the country to meet them.
