EFFECT OF A DEFICIT
ON BUSINESS AFFAIRS
Shortage in Treasury for
Fiscal Year 1905.
CONGRESS MIGHT AVERT 1T
Surplus in National Finances Not Nee.
essary to Prosperity in Private
Industry and Trade.

What effect the estimated deficit in
the United States Treasury will have on
the financial world, should the figures
prove accurate. is matter of specula-
ton among financiers and politicians In
Washington, While conflicting Views are
held by different persons. the opinion
seems TO prevail that a shortage so
small as that predicted by Secretary
Shaw will not influence business inter
ests to any great extent.
1t is estimated by the Secretary of the
Treasury that according TO statistics in
the past few months the Government s
ledger will show a deficit Of So 002 146
for the year ending June 30, 1906. These
figures would seem to have Significance
when compared with those OF the fiscal
year ended June 30 last. At that time
the Government books showed a sur
plus of S54, 297. 6e7
II the estimate turns out to be cor
rect. the inevitable result will be a slight
curtailing OF public expenses. 1t is OBJ
vious that Congress would experience
little difficulty in wiping out a shortage
of sZ3,0o0,O0O when enormous sums APP
propriated for various uses are taken
into consideration. The process would
be simply the cuTbing of a few Of the
larger appropriations until the Treasury
is again stocked with an overflow of
money.
