One of the interesting features Of the
annual report of the Treasurer of the
United States is as follows:
For the past two years the expendi-
lures OF the Government have been in
excess OF the revenues of the aggregate
amount of more than $4,000, 900. This.
however. included the extraordinary
expenditures in 1904 OF $4,000 900 on
account OF the Panama Canal. This is
the first year in the past six years when
the ordinary expenditures were in ex-
cess OF the revenues, and the amount
was $23,O04.22S. We are fortunate In
that our available cash balance June
30. 1905, of $l45.477.491, largely the
accumulation of former years. is
deemed adequate TO meet the demands
upon the Treasury for some time to
come. Since 1896 gold has increased
more than any other kind of money in
circulation. The total gold i'm the
Treasury on June 80, 1905, amounted
to $706,592.399 and by Oct 10. 1905. II
had attained a maximum at $74S.425.-
