The Finances Of Uncle sam.

Uncle Sam is enjoying these good
times along with his people. Con-
sidsred as an individual having his
way to make in the world, storing up
for the future and keeping an eye
On the ever. useful il not almighty
dollar, the old man is doing pretty
we'll. When he set out to build the
Panama canal he had no other idea
than that he would have to mortg-
age his accrued property to raise the
money, but his business has been
thriving so Justify and his income
increasing 80 splendidly that he is
doing the bigger part Of the work
out Of his surplus and has not need
cd to raise as much on loan ss he
had anticipated doing.
Since 1908 the government has ex-
pended about $1OO,OOO,OOO ON the
canal, and only $4,000, 900 Of this
was realized from bond sales. The
remainder has been paid out of the
surplus revenue, and the pro mise is
that all the work for the coming fis-
cal year can be taken care Of in the
same way. The prosperity Of the
country, the increase in receipts over
all estimates, has made this possible
and still left considerable reserve
on hand.
The surplus for the year, in spite
Of the drain made by the canal work
now stands at ga, 1858, 900. giving an
available cash balance of $240,OOO,-
600. A call has been made on
national bank repositories for $780,
100000 to be used July l in taking
up maturing 4 per cent bonds, but
the indications are that the redemp
ton will be accomplished without
considerable change 10 the present
reserve, as the income IL running so
far in excess Of expenditures that a
surplus for the coming fiscal year
can already be seen coming.
At this rate the canal may be built
without further bond issue, though
it is questionable whether the policy
will be to make the present genera
ton pay for canal of which it can
hope to get little use and hand the
work down to the future completed
and paid for. The financial interests
are already complaining about the
size of the reserve. It ties up too
much Of the money of the country,
while the demand for bonds for in
vsstment and as basis for banking
urges on the other hand the policy
Of letting loose the reserve and is
suing bonds to build the big ditch.
