AN ELASTIC CURRENCY
Recommends Encouragement of
Customs Districts and Reduc-
ton of the Work to a Bust
nesslike Basis.
The Republic Bureau.
18th st. and Pennsylvania Ave.

Washington, Dec. Sin spite of the
severe tests to which the country's cur
rency system has been subjected In the
last fiscal year. the crisis is now past ant
no coca sion for alarm exists. according &c
the views of Secretary Shaw as expressed
in his annual report to Congress, made
public to-day.
AT the same time. the need Of remedy
ing the non-elastic nature of the currency
system is strongly emphasized. This rem
eay. it is held, should be SO conservative
as in no way to impair stability.
Secretary Shaw estimates that the co.,
ernmcnt will have Il surplus of $l4.OOo.GE
for the current fiscal year. but deficit
of $685. eco for the fiscal year of 1895. The
total estimated revenues for the fiscal
year now current are 1914 767. 66i. and the
total estimated expenditures $500 767 ,664.
II is explained that upon the basis OF
existing laws the estimated revenues OF
the Government for the fiscal year 1905
will be s70i.47206O. The total estimated
appropriations. exclusive of sinking fund
for that fiscal year. are S727. 474eOS. One
of the items in the miscellaneous list for
the fiscal year 1905 is sl3,Ol7.5s1 for the
district of Columbia.
GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS.
T,,- total receipts of the Government
from all sources for the fiscal year ended
une go 1893. were 1854. 62l III, and the ex-
penditures for the same period were $40.
80. $50, showing a surplus of s54.ZT,667.
Compared with the fiscal year 1902. the
receipts for 1896 increased $l0.294.Sl. but
there was an increase of 81. .oi0 In eX-
penditures Items of this increase in ex-
penses were l6.l45,2 22s for the civil estab,
SIG. s64 ,346 for the naval establishment. Sal.
aries and expenses Of the District Of
Columbia decreased $779,704.
Encouragement Of the customs districts
Is strongly urged. He presents table
showing that In forty-five districts OF the
country it costs more than 81 to collect
81, and he says legislation to put all GUS
toms districts on business basis Is I'M
perative. II no legislation Is enacted. he
says. then the Secretary should have the
authority to rearrange the districts.
AT Galena. ILL.,, the report shows It costs
S54O.O7 to collect a single dollar. The ac-
fiscal year were 20 cents. and the expenses
of the Office were $S7S.0S.
The Secretary especially urges the cor
rection of deplorable state Of affairs in
the Puget Sound district. He says there
is not a single business reason why Port
Townsend should be continued as q port
Of entry for SO great customs district
as that OF Puget Sound. and he recon-
mends legislation authorizing the removal
Of the records TO Seattle and making that
city the port Of entry. leaving the neces-
sary force at Seattle to do the work Of a
support. - o. .
