Secretary Gage Shows Great Decrease
in Government Expenditures.
[By Aasoeiated Presa.l

Chicago, Oct Secretary Gage
who is staying a few days at the
home Of his son in Evanston, before
going to Colorado to spend his vaca-
tion, said in regard to the present
large surplus in the treasury:
The prosperous condition of the
country must be most gratifying. The
decrease in the expenditures of the
government, however is salient fac
tor in the increase in the surplus in
the last three months. From June
30 to September 26 the revenue
amounted to s186,0GO, 600. The ex-
penditures in this time were 1921 ,0O0,-
600 This left an excess Of S15,00O.000.
In the same period in 1900 the re-
ceipts were SlS9,00O,0O0 and the ex-
penditures the same amount OF
course, the tact must be taken into
consideration that the revenue for the
last three months was under the low
cred schedule, so that the S136,0OO-
coo receipts this year represent a larg-
er amount or business transacted than
in the same time last year, when the
1879 100000 was received.
It was estimated when the present
revised revenue law was put in force
on July 1 that the revenue receipts
from all sources would fall off some
s4O,OOO.OO0 by reason of the reduc-
tions made. If that had been realized
the receipts since that time would
have been s75OOOO0 less, or $685.
100000. Notwithstanding the reduc1
ton in taxes, the receipts have dimin-
ished by less than 100000 from
what they were a year ago, while
the expenditures have decreased by
over s17,OO0,OOO for the same period
Up TO the present time, however.
the accumulation of money in the
treasury. which would be the natur-
al effect at this time has been more
than overcome by the purchase Of
bonds in the open market by the gov
ernment. In the last three months
there have been bought bonds having
a face value of s19,5OO,O 900, for which
over $24OO0,OO0 was paid. The ac-
tual cash in the treasury has thus
been reduced, and the present excess
Of revenues over expenditures taken
care of for the time being.
