we exported in value 1898, 592, JAG, being
larger than any previous year. 1t IS q
noteworthy fact that the only years in
all our history when the products of
our manufactures sold abroad eX-
ceeded those bought abroad were 1898
and 1899.
Government receipts from all sources
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1899,
including $11, 1913, 314.14, part payment
of the Central Pacific railroad indebt-
edness, aggregated 500, ,004.35, Gus
toms receipts were $206, 128, 481.75, and
those from internal revenue $273, 437, :
1851.
For the fiscal year the expenditures
were $500, O93, 564.02, leaving a deficit
of S89, 111, 55967. The secretary Of the
treasury estimates that the receipts for
the current fiscal year will aggregate
.$640, 95S, 112, and upon the basis of
present appropriations the expendi-
lures will aggregate $600,958,112 leav-
ing a surplus of S40,000,000. For the
fiscal year ended June SO, 1899, the in
ternaI revenue receipts were increased
about $100,000,V00.
The present gratifying strength of
the treasury is shown by the fact that
on December l, 1899, the available cash
balance was $278,O04,83772, of which
$239, 744, 9O5.36 was in gold coin and
bullion. The conditions Of confidence
which prevail throughout the country
have brought gold into more general
use and customs receipts are now al
most entirely paid in that coin.
The strong condition of tle treasury
with respect to cash on hand and the
favorable showing made by the rev.
enues have made it possible for the
secretary of the treasury to take action
under the provisions of section 1894,
Revised Statutes, relating to the sink
ing fund. Receipts exceeded expendi-
lures for the first five months of the
current fiscal year by S13,413, 389.91,
and, as mentioned above, the secretary
of the treasury estimates that there
will be a surplus of approximately
SAC, 900, 900 at the end Of the year. I'm
der such conditions it was deemed ad
visabIe and proper to resume compli
ance with the provisions of the sinking
fund law, which for eight years has
not been done because of deficiencies
in the revenues. The treasury depart
ment therefore offered to purchase dur
ing November S25, 100000 of the 5 per
cent. loan of 1904, or the 4 per cent.
funded loan of 1907, at the current
market price. The amount offered and
purchased during November was $18,
l08, 500. The premium paid Oy the gov
eminent on such purchases was $685.,
521 and the net saving in interest was
lboUt S2,885, 900. The success of this
operation was sufficient to induce the
government to continue the offer to
purchase bonds to and including the

23d day of December, instant, unless
the remainder of the $25,000,000 called
for should be presented in the mean
time for redemption.
The Currency.
The president asks that notifications
be made in the national banking act as
will render its service more respons-
i've to the peoples needs in the way of
added circulation and urges that ma
tional banks be authorized to organize
with capital of $25,000 I urgently
recommend that to support the exist
ing gold standard, and to maintain
the parity in value of the coins Of the
two metals gold and silver and the
equal power of every dollar at all times
in the market and in the payment Of
debts, the secretary of the treasury be
given additional power and charged
with the duty to sell United States
bonds and to employ such other effect
i've means as may be necessary to
these ends. The authority should in
clude the power to sell bonds on long
and short time, as conditions may re-
quire, and should provide for a rate
Of interest lower than that fixed by the
act of January IA, 1875. While there
is now no commercial fright which
withdraws gold from the government
but, on the contrary, such widespread
confidence that gold seeks the treasury
demanding paper money in exchange,
yet the very situation points to the
present as the most fitting time to
make adequate provision to insure the
continuance of the gold standard and
OF public confidence in the ability and
purpose Of the government to meet all
its obligations in the money which the
civilized world recognizes as the best
The financial transactions Of the gov
eminent are conducted upon a gold
basis. We receive gold when we sell
United States bonds and use gold for
their payment. We are maintaining
the parity of all the money issued or
coined by authority Of the government.
We are doing these things with the
means at hand. Happily at the pres
ent time we are not compelled to re-
sort to loans to supply gold. It has
been done in the past, however, and
may have to be done in the future. 1t
behooves us, therefore, to provide at
once the best means to meet the emer-
gency when it arises, and the best
means are those which are the most
certain and economical. Those now
authorized have the virtue neither Of
directnesS or economy. We have al
ready eliminated one of the causes of
our financial plight and embarrassment
during the years 1893, 1894, 1895 and
1896. Our receipts now equal our ex-
penditures deficient revenues no
longer create alarm. Let us remove
the only remaining cause by comforting
the full and necessary power on the
secretary of the treasury and impose
upon him the duty to uphold the pres
ent gold standard and preserve the
coins Of the two metals on a parity
with each other, which is the repeat
eddy declared policy of the United
States. The presidents former recon-
mendations that portion of the gold
holdings shall be placed in trust fund
from which greenbacks shall be re-
deemed upon presentation, but when
once redeemed shall not thereafter be
paid out except for gold.

marine is urged and, speaking of trusts
the president declares that it is uni
versally conceded that combinations
which engrOss or control the market
of any particular kind Of merchandise
or commodity necessary to the gen
eral community, by suppressing nat
ural and ordinary competition, where
by prices are unduly enhanced to the
| general consumer, are obnoxious not
only to the common law but also to the
public welfare. There must be rem
edy for the evils involved in such or
CARNATIONS. If the present law can be
extended more certainly to control or
should be done without delay. What
ever power the congress possesses over
this most important subject should be
promptly ascertained and asserted.
The present antitrust law is quoted,
as well as opinions on the subject by
Harrison and Cleveland in this message.
"It is apparent that uniformity Of
legislation upon this subject in the
several states is much to be desired, -
the president says. The whole ques-
ton is so important and far-reaching
that he is sure no part of it will be
lightly considered, but every phase of
it will have the studied deliberation
of the congress, resulting in wise and
judicious action.
A review of our relations with
foreign states is presented
The long pending boundary dispute
between the Argentine republic and
Chill was settled in March last by the
award of an arbitrai commission, on
which the United States minister at
Buenos Ayres served as umpire.
Progress has been made toward the
conclusion of a convention of extradi-
ton with the Argentine republic.
Having been advised and consented to
by the United States senate and rati-
fed by Argentina, it only awaits the
adjustment of some slight changes in
the text before exchange.
Minor Foreign Affairs
Allusion is made to the good part
we played in settling the Argentine
Chilli dispute; to the new extradition
laws with the Argentine Republic and
Brazil; to Austria's vain claim for in
demnity for the killing Of certain
miners in Pennsylvania; to the fact
that Belgium will now admit our cat
tie more freely but that Denmark is
still obdurate; to the assumption of re-
lations with the new Santo DOMINICAN
government; and to the Bluefelds cpl
sode. In connection with the inter
oceanic canal project the president
talks of the various franchises and
commissions and adds: "The great i'm

Turkey.

In the Turkish empire the situation
of our citizens remains unsatisfactory.
Our efforts during nearly forty years
to bring about convention Of natural
ization seem to be on the brink of
final failure through the announced
policy of the Ottoman porte to refuse
recognition OF the alien status of ma
tive Turkish subjects naturaliZed
abroad since 1867. Our statutes do not
allow this government to admit any
distinction between the treatment of
native and naturalized Americans
abroad, so that ceaseless controversy
arises in cases where persons owing in
the eye of international law a dual
allegiance are prevented from entering
Turkey or are expelled after entrance.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle OF Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

REFERRING to the estimated pro-
duction of anthracite in 1899, the An
thracite Coal Operators Association
says that if the August production is
kept nearly to $500, 600 tons, the total
on September 1st will be some 28,7OO-
600 tons, leaving, on the basis of 49,,
OO0,O0 tons for the year, 1890, 900
tons to be mined in four months
Even assuming the December output
at 4, 300, 600 tons, which would be ex-
ceptionally large, there would remain
5000, 900 a month to be produced
and marketed in September,
October and November 1t is
extremely doubtful if this can be
done, because of the continuance of
the difficulty to secure sufficient labor
and the growing scarcity Of cars in
which to transport the fuel. The
latter trouble is partly owing to the
relatively slow movement Of the
market at the present time, and con-
sequent necessity for holding loaded
cars on the sidings, but even when
these are free, grain and other ship
ments from the West will take many
cars now in service. Indeed, there
seems good reason for the efforts oi
the companies to fill their various
stocking points to their capacity fol
otherwise, especially after navigation
is closed, the demand may easily be
greater than the ability to supply.
