1000. 600 moro than receipts from
customs i'm the same period of the
preceding fiscal year.
When the customs for last fiscal
year ran over the $300.Q00.000 mark
there was much comment over the
way ali prior records had been broken.
At the rate the customs are returning
revenue now, the receipts viii go
about 10000, coo ahead OF last fiscal
year by June so. 1907 Widespread
general prosperity Is the cause

Internal revenue receipts thus far in
the fiscal year have likewise been
heavy and have run about $4,000. zoe
ahead of the receipts for the curre-
spending period last year.
Way Ahead of Last Year.
Altogether. the Government receipts
have been over $50, 100000. heavier than
they were i'm the same period of last
fiscal year, while expenditures have run
along In about the same channel.
All the indications are tbs; the fiscal
year will end next June w tn a highly
comfortable surplus, considerably larger
than the surplus at the end of last fis-
cal year. The situation IS decidedly re-
assuring to those members OF Congress
opposed al this time TO any revision OF
the tariff or any modification OF the
revenue laws particularly TO such an
important step as advocated by the
President. in the direction of taxes on
incomes and inherltauces.
