NATIONAL TREASURY.
Annual Report of Secretary, Showing
Condition of the Nations
Finances.

Washington, December S--The an
nual report OF the secretary Of the
treasury was made public Tuesday. The
report shows that the revenues OF
the government from all sources (by
warrants) for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1904, were SoS4,214,-
1874. and that the total expenditures
for the same period were S725,oS4,-
o45.65, showing a deficit OF S4I,77o,-
571.eI.
The sum of S5o,ooo,ooo was paid
during the year for the right OF way
of the Panama canal
Compared with the fiscal year 1908
the receipts for 1904 decreased S1o,-
4o6,743.oo.
There was an increase of S85,661,-
1867 in expenditures.
The revenues of the government
for the current fiscal year, based upon
existing laws, are estimated at $780,
zA2,o6o.72 and the expenditures for
the same period at s71S,472, ,o6o.72. or
a deficit of $I9,ooo,ooo.
It is estimated that the revenues
of the government for the fiscal year
1906 will be S725,5oo,515, and the ap-
propriations s7o3, ,26o, ,367.2I, or an
estimated surplus of S22. .33o,147.7o.
The available cash balance in the
general fund June 80, 1904, was S172,-
o51.56S, which is less by s66,634,54o,21
than the balance on June 80, 1908.
The Panama canal payments, the
redemption OF the outstanding SIS OF
1904. and a change in the ratio of the
revenues to the expenditures contrl-
buted to this result.
Of the revenues in 1904 compared
with 1908, customs show decrease
of S23,oo5,o17, and the receipts from
public lands are less by S1,47o:S3I.5o
while an increase appears in internal
revenue OF ss2,oo3,oo5.2S, and in mis-
cellaneous items of S2.SIS,o2S25. The
net result is a decrease in ordinary
revenues for the year of S1o,7o4,o25.
There was an apparent net increase
in ordinary expenditures OF $685.
31427, but this includes the payment
of $4,000, 900 on account OF the Pana-
ma canal and loan of s4,ooo,ooo to
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company. The latter sum has since
been reimbursed.
For the first quarter of the fiscal
year 1905, the revenues were S15S,o34,-
462.37, the expenditures S155,SoI,o77.-
81, an excess OF expenditures over re-
ceipts of SI7,S56,6I5,

This shows 5,266,6So bales for 1904
against 6,115,516 bales in sight same
time for 1908, making difference Of
S4S.S27 bales in favor OF 1908.
Now if this statement is correct
and the late report from the Depart
ment of Agriculture showing this
years crop to be 12,16o,ooo bales, IS
correct, there must be out Of sight
presumably in the hands of the farm
ers. 6,So3.361 bales.
Oh course nv sources Of informa-
ton are local, but we live in section
of the cotton belt which is about the
average outside the delta lands of the
west, and it is entirely within bounds
to say that cotton is practically all
picked and ginned in this latitude. A
pretty close observation Of the cot
ton production for the last few years
satisfies me that the agricultural de-
partnent report is greatly exagger~
ated. The reports from the gins in
the census bureau is much the most
reliable, and that is only approximate,
as the farmers are beginning to real
ize that about the only persons bene-
fitted by any of these reports are the
bear spectators, manipulated by
| them in such manner as to suit their
! purposes. | am unable to see how
or where they benefit the farmers.
You may recall that Mr.. Secretary
| Wilson took issue with me as to last
years crop, and said that if it did not
sell for 7 or cents ''he would present
me with a hat" I suppose he meant
! a new hat-He has not yet honored

to take the distinguished secretary's
estimate of the grain crop, as he
comes from the finest grain section
in the world.
II there are 100000 bales in the
hands of the farmers it supports the
theory that they are in very souno
financial condition, condition they
ought not to be frightened out of by
bear spectators. In other words to
borrow the homely phrase Of the old
darky to his coon dog in a fight with
a coon to hold his holt until the coon
gives up'-The farmers ought to
hold their holt" until (to borrow an
other phrase from another distin-
guished sportsman) they can get "a
square deal' with the bears.
