forty million dollars OF revenue in
the recent session Of congress, and
then they triumphantly said that
they had abolished the surplus.
The country at the time was in
clined to believe them 1t has found
out recently that they were mistak-
en-. The surplus has not been ami
hilated, but is coming up again in
rather portentious shape. Receipts
largely exceeded expenditures in
July, the first month Of the fiscal
year, which is an unusual circum-
stance. as July is month Of heavy
treasury payments for bond interest
and other things. August thus far
has continued July's record. Clear
ly, if this keeps on congress will be
called upon to make another attack
on the surplus next winter in the
direction of cutting off more of the
revenues. Most of the war taxes Of
1893 were swept away by the recent
cut In revenues, and one issue which
the democrats thought would be Of
service to them vanished Some
more taxes will apparently have to
be abolished within the next year or
two.
It will be observed that, though
We have revenue problem on hand
at the present time, and had one
last winter, they are different from
the troubles which confronted the
democrats. President McKinley's
problem is to keep the revenue from
pouring out of the tops of the treas
ury vaults. President Cleveland's
problem was to get enough money
to cover the bottoms of the vaults.
Secretary Gage is buying govern
ment bonds so as to keep the sur
plus down. Secretary Carlisle sold
bonds 30 as to avert a deficit which
would send the country down to the
silver or greenbsck basis. There
have been several complaints from
treasury officials in the past year or
two that the gold stock was getting
80 high that it was becomming
burden. The plant in Cleveland's
second term was that not only was
there not enough gold in the treas
ury to keep the fund up to the green
back redemption line of 100000
900, but that there was such diff
Guilty in getting gold that the govern
ment was virtually at the mercy of
the money changers. The terms to
which the government had to sub
NIT in getting some of its gold in
Cleveland's days did much to dis
credit that statesman in his own
party, and aided to roll up the big
republican majority cast in 1906
