Evidences of Prosperity.

The elections are over for this year
and there is no further use for misrepre-
sensations by the political press of either
side. So the official financial statement
may be read by the most incredulous
persons with confidence. The Washing
ton officials are giving out their monthly
statements in much detail, showing a
very encouraging state of the national
finances.
The treasury statement for October
shows marked changes compared with
that issued one month ago. October |
the cash balance was upward of S22l, :
100000. To-day 1t is S20G, AL, SIS, a
reduction of Sl4 ,S3l SIG. This is ex-
planned by the amount disbursed on ac-
count of bonds purchased, premium and
accumulated interest. The bonded debt
shows reduction for the month of near
ly $4,000, 900, the greater portion of
which was in the purchase of per cent
of 1925, for which the treasury paid out
upwards of S3S, 100000. That amount,
together with the increase of deposits
with national banks, which is nearly
100000, represents the measure of
relief extended by the treasury during
the month to the business interests of
the country. These transactions are
reflected in the gold holdings and in the
amount of government paper outstand-
N
date there was outstanding 500, 1922,
and there is now outstanding 1891, Ga
$40, difference of nearly 81 900, 900,
nearly all of which was disbursed in
gold certificates in the redemption OF
bonds. The annexed table shows the
changes since October ! in the paper

OUR GOLD HOLDINGS.
In the aggregate gold holding there
was an Increase since October ! of Sl6,-
900, 900. the amount now held being $780,
302, 1874, the largest sum in gold ever ac-
cumulated by any government.
The United States, without any special
effort, has exceeded the gold accumula-
ton of Russia when that government
accumulated S59S .000, 900, our gold hold
ings being SS,000,000 more than that
sum, or $606,302, l94. Even Great
Britain is left far behind in this showing.
INCREASE IN CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
The customs receipts continue to in
crease. For October there was received
from that source SIG, 74l 200, an increase
of more than S3,000.000 oyer October,
1901. The law repeating the internal
revenue stamp act, passed during the
Spanish war, has naturally made a
decrease in that source of revenue the
falling of for the month being about
equal TO the increase from customs.
The miscellaneous receipts for the month
show an increase Of about 81 ,250, 900, and
with the aid of this increase the October

The remarkable increase in customs
receipts more than made up for the re-
duction in internal revenue resulting
from the abolition of war taxes. The
increase in the former was SIS, SIS, 1873, a
