Uncle Sans Overlooking Treas
ury.

After cutting off an estimated tax
alton of more than seventy millions
last fiscal year, Uncle Sam finds that ne
has stin more money than he needs.
On the first of July he had on hand a
net surplus for the year of about fifty
five million dollars. For the three
months of the present fiscal year there
is a surplus of about five millions,
which is likely to increase unless con-
ditions change greatly. 1t is possible
however. that receipts from customs
may fall off. 80 that smaller balance
will be left at the end of the year. The
desirable condition is that expenses
and receipts should balance except
when there is large debt to pay. At
present there is small debt, bnt it is
also largely an asset, since two thirds OF
the bonds are in government custody to
cover circulation or deposits.
This is situation to make the mouths
of European fnauciers water. The lead
ing nations securities are selling below
par, while Uncle Sam, who alone has
two Der cent bond, finds them conn
manding high premium. This is an
excellent situation, but is in part de-
lusive. The price of government bonds
Is now controlled by their value to
banks for currency purposes. They are
becoming scarce and, as Secretary Shaw
announces, can no longer supply the
demand for their banking function.
Either va must have new bonds or a
new currency system.
That new currency is being provided
IL shown by the Treasurers report. New
currency was issued last year to the
amount of $125, 600, 900, nearly one-half
Of which was in gold. At present near
" one half of our total currency is in
the yellow metal. The coin is not much
In evidence, but any person handling
bills Of the denomination of twenty
dollars or over has become familiar with
the yellow backed certificates which
represent the eOtual coin in the Treas
ury. Most people have seen more gold,
or its certificate, in the last three years
than in all their lives before. Mr..
Bryan admits that there is much gold
in circulation, and that he was wrong
in his estimates, but right in his prin-
ciples. which are as dear to him as ever.
Uncle Sam is doing larger BUSINESS
than any other nation on earth. He
has accumulated one hundred billions
of wealth. He has established the gold
standard and the principle of protec-
ton He sees crops worth five billions
OF dollars harvested or safe from danger,
while the railroads are being taxed to
carry on the business offered them. On
the whole, Uncle Sam feels contented-
And well he may. Such condition
never before existed in the world, and,
barring flt Of insanity on the part of
the people. it is going to continue
