The federal administration last year
spent $54,O00,OO0 more than it spent
in the 1898 war. At the recent bank
er's convention Lawrence s. Gillespie,
president of the Equitable Trust Com
pany of New York, discussing the adj
ministration, said:
GAS in our private life so in our ma
tional finances, the year 1907 seems to
have been one of exceeding cost and
expenditure. The government state
ment at the end of the fiscal year, June
30, 1908, shows deficit of 500, 1856, 381
and the increased deficit in July and
August amounting to $2s, 729, 900 brings
the total deficit for the preceding four
teen months up to $S9, 434, 361, with re-
duced revenues of $65, 600, 900 The
year preceding we had surplus of
$87, 900, 600.
1.-THE government disbursement was
1860, 552, 124, being in excess of the
revenues in any year except 1906 and
1907 and $4,000. 900 more than was
spent in the year when we conducted
the war against Spain and paid the
expense of landing armies in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands"
