Circulation Statement
Mr.. Gage and the surplus.

The rapid accumulation Of surplus
funds in the Treasury has been made
the subject Of much uufavorable com
ment, and very justly SO. The proper
place fer the money of the country is
in general circulation and not under
key ana bolt in the Treasury. Score
jary Gage undertakes to explain why
the surplus exists and continues to
grow. but it can scarcely be said that
he throws any new light on the sub
JecL In brief, he tells us that the sur
plus aCCumUlateS because we are col
lecung more money than we spend.
That is exactly what the people are
complaining Of They think the rcve-
nues should be kept down to the neces-
sary expenditures.
But Mr. Cages idea seems to be that
# he can only devise some plan by
which the expenditures can be brought
up to the revenue, the public viii be
satisfied. So he states that a portion
of the surplus has been used in buying
up bonds. If the idea Of our present
revenue law were TO eXtinguish our
bonded debt. that explanation might
be accepted, but we all know that the
law was not framed for any such pur-
pose. The extra revenue was provided
as a distinctive war measure. and as
matter of fact the receipts Of the
Government are but little less than
they were when the Spanish war ex-
penses We're at their height When the
reduction was made by the last Con-
ggess IL was supposed that it would ag-
Gregate about forty million dollars an
Eually- This was considerably more
than the Treasury Department was
willing 10 have the revenues cut down.
while the Democrats Insisted that
much more Of the war burdens should
be taken of. Now Mr. Gage shows
that the revenue for the last three
mouths was only three million dollars
less than il was for the same period Of
last year. That is TO say. the war
taxes are almost at maximum three
years after the end Of the war The
Secretary evidently is not a good
guesser on receipts and expenditures.
lie states that the increased revenue
at lower rates is owing to the fact that
the country is doing more business.
This is a condition which ought to
have been fOreseen by those people
who made the present prosperity, and
Mr.. Gage, Of course, belongs to that
class
Mr.. Gage and fnanciers Of his school
have no idea Of wiping out the coun-
try's bonded debt. They do not want
the bonds redeemed, but desire TO keep
them in existence, and even increase
them as a basis Of bank circulation
until such time as they can obtain
law authorizing The banks 10 issue cir
Culating notes on their general assets
The recent purchase Of bonds was
merely for the relief Of Wall Street II

The Disnster in samnr.

The slaughter Of a single company Of

of course, prevent the fun establish
ment OF the American sovereignty
throughout the Philippines. At the
same time IL seems as II General Mac
Arthur is just a little too optimistic
concerning the matter. II is not d ques-
Jion Of making our Sovereignty certain
That is ixed now. The great object 10
Doe attained is complete pacihcat ton
and il can hardly be doubted that such
successes as the one just scored by the
rebels In Samar tend to encourage
them and pr0lOng hOstiIities. Aside
from the loss Of the gallant officers and
men this Is the deplOrable feature Of
the affair. IL viii be impossible for US
10 realize anything like the fun value
Of the islands as long as they are dis
turbed by guerrilla warfare. Neither

business while such conditions last.
The general is right in saying that
drastic measures must be taken by the
United states % stamp out the insur-
recti0n. We supposed. though. that
drastic" measures had been employed
right along. General Sherman's def
milton Of war applies in the PHILIPPINES
as well as elsewhere No armed insur-
rectiOn was ever yet completely queIIed
save by military operations Of dras-
Tic character. But, as The Times has
heretofore observed, there are other
things which may very wisely be en-
ft.
with the military situation.
General Macarthur has more than
once referred 10 the splendid future
which lies before the Philippines after
truly American policy" shall have
been established there This clearly
implies that in his judgment such policy
has not yet been pursued. II is d great
pity that he has not felt at liberty 10

officer he must avoid open criticism

been and is being enforced in the is
lands. sim there IS no mistaking his
meaning. He has spoken Of the truly
American policy" as a thing not Vet
existent, and nothing can be clearer
than that the authority Of the United
states Government should never be
exercised in any other way Il an in ac-
cordance with truly American princi-
pies and methods. If the establishment
of such policy is essential TO give our
possession fun value. then the sooner
81 is inaugurated the better.
With anything less than a truly
American policy" in force. we cannot
reasonably expect the development Of
a truly American sentiment without
such sentiment we are likely u have
trouble there for a long time With the
American feeling well developed there
