An Overlooking Treasury.
The Governments Income Still Far
Outruns Its Expenses.

Despite the heroic cuts made in
1901 and 1902 in the internal revenue
tax schedules the Treasury's balance
sheet continues to show an awkward
surplus Legislation seems powerless
to check the flow of superfuous reve-
nue. into the Treasury's vaults.
In the years Immediately following
the war with Spain, when the so-called
emergency tax schedules were still in
force, the Government found itself
collecting annually from $50,000000
to $100,000,000 more than it had any
thought of spending. Congress in
1901 abolished taxes netting about
$45,O00,000. But the surplus the
year following scared again toward
the $l00,000,000 mark. In 1902 a
second cut was decided on, which
promised further reduction of near
ly $50,000,000. But instead of re-
storing that equilibrium between re-
ceipts and expenditures which every
prudent financial administration aims
at, the legislation of 1902 has barely
succeeded IN checking the still further
growth of an already excessive sur
plus.
According to the Treasury's April
statement, the receipts for the ten
months beginning July l, 1902, were
1866, 40, sol. Receipts for the ten
months beginning July l, 1901, were
only $464,218,269. So that in spite
of the second cut in taxation the Gov
ernment's income today actually ex-
ceeds its income of a year ago, and
the surplus today would be greater
than was that of April, 1902, had not
expenditures for the last ten months
shown an increase over those of the
ten months preceding of about $32,-
100000. As it is, the Treasury has
balance TO the good on the operations
of the current fiscal year of $35, 49,
000-which by July l next will be
swollen to over $40,000,00O.
The failure of the double effort
made by Congress to curtail the sur
plus is easily explainable. Our ex-
traordinary national prosperity has
been reflected in the volume of Treas
ury receipts.
Increasing consumption has swollen
internal revenue returns and the en-
largement of our import trade, due to
demands at home both for raw ma
terial and for finished goods which in
dull times could never have entered
the domestic market, has caused
jump IN customs payments which the
experts who framed the laws of 1901
and 1902 were far from anticipating.
Customs alone nave yielded $4,000
900 more so far this year than they
did in the corresponding period last
year. And until our national pros
perity suffers some serious check, we
shall probably CONTINGENCIES a
radical revision of the tariff duties
soon finds favor-to collect larger
revenue each year than the Treasury
needs or the economically-minded
statesman can find legitimate use
for.

listen to these two intellectual giants.
Both speeches We're listened to closely by
the audience and the speakers were fire.

debate pandemonium reigned-in fact the
speakers would have to stop for the aud
fence to resume it's equilibrium. 1t re-
