GOVERNMENTS REVENUE
CLOSE TO BILLION MARK

Washington, Dec 5.-The annual report
OF the secretary OF the treasury present
ed this afternoon, shows that the reve-
nues OF the government from all sources
for the fiscal year ending June ~, 1907,
amounted TO $s4s. 725. 1885,. and the total
expenditures. $762 4SS, 1892. leaving "A sur
plus OF $S4 236. $500. Compared with the
preceding year. the receipts for 1907 in
creased $S4,33S, 1856 and the total expendi-
lures were sl.22s.S29 less than in 1906.
In telling the story OF the emergency
measure sundertaken by the department
this month the secretary says
on Nov. II there were on deposit in ma
iional bank depositaries:

urer OF the United States. .S2l2 S5s,S ,Sl1 G.

When the story OF the recent CONNER
cial and Industrial disturbance has been
fully told, am conhdent that many mis-
apprehensions Will pe cleared away and
that the interdependence OF all sections
OF the country will be more fully under
stood. IL is said that many of our peo-
pie have boarded money. This is un-
doubtedly true; but so have many OF
the banks. We hear little, however, OF
the untold numbers OF patriotic citizens,
who, knowing that the banking situation
throughout the country was essentially
sound. did not allow themselves TO be in
nuenced by the excitement of the mo-
ment, but co-operated with national
baEks, savings banks. trust companies
and other institutions TO support credit
