NATIONS DEFICIT.
Actual Working Balance in Treasur,
Is Seventy Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, July THE treas
ury statement given out recently, con-
tanning figures that are approximately
final for the fiscal year, shows that by
judicious handling of warrants kept
over until the beginning of the new
year and by what seems to be a shift
has been brought down to a shade be-
low $25,O0O,OOO. To be exact, the de-
felt as officially reported is s24,305,-
903.23. The receipts for the fiscal year
amounted to s543,423,S59.24, and the
expenditures 5e7,729.7e2.47.
In the last annual report Secretary
Shaw estimated the deficiency at $751;
100000 and the increase in the defic' t
amounting to 25 per cent was only
kept SO low by the most painstaking
efforts on the part of the treasury ex-
perts.
If these figures mean anything some
plan must be found to put more money
into the treasury. According to this
statement, the available cash balance
in the treasury amounts to $140,429,-
240.S5. This is misleading but may
not have been intended to be purpose
ly so.
The available cash balance is popu-
larly supposed to be the governments
working balance, but it is nothing of
the kind. The treasurer's assets, not
counting the reserve and trust funds,
amounts to s222,S24,399, and the liza
bilities $S2,395,15S, the difference being
what the treasury calls it's available
cash balance But this is far from
being a working balance.
By the last statement there is locked
up in the national bank repositories
s6S,045,97S and almost 100000 in the
treasury of the Philippine islands.
Deducting these sums it is readily
seen that the actu1 working balance
of the treasury of the United States
is $7O,40SS29 instead of $40, 429, 24O.
