The bad management Of the commercial
finances in the United Sta es last wear led,
as we all know, to some terrible results. The
consequent wave Of depression, which was
first felt in the States themselves, spread all
around, and its effects are felt still. Even
We 10 St. Croix, who might be supposed to
lie in so snug a corner that the wave could
not possibly reach us, have felt it in the
poorer prices obtained for one Of our staples,
and in bad news from some of our young
friends who were making their living in the
great country, a living which was for a time
endangered by the unsatisfactory position
Of affairs. Now we Learn from an article in
The OutlOok for II July, that the United
States Treasury reports go nominal deficit Of
sixty million dollars. This follows q more
than corresponding surplus a year ago"
The OutlO0k proceeds to explain how this
position, which it describes as can unplea-
SAINT Treasury Situation, has arisen. There
was first of all the falling off in internal
revenue and import taxes, which followed
the panic III October; then there were in
creased expenses, among which are mou-
toned nine millions more for the army and
twenty one millions more for the navy.
Others are given; but the writer concludes
that the deficit is "more appaI>4t than real"
Tie says thal 'the apparent oehclt can be
trebly covered by the Governments cash in
the Treasury and its deposits with the
National Banks" At the same time he acids
the warming that n continuance of deficit
might before long put the Government in
a position where, failing the necessary &c, no
my, the shortage would have to be made
good by new bond issues or new taxes"
We see the effects Of the depression still
in England, where nccor0ing to recent tele-
grams there have been considerable reduc-
tons both in imports and exports, reduc-
, tions which must have rejoiced lhe hearts
of the "tariff -reformers", who have for sever
al years been looking, but looking in vain,
for the fulilment Of their gloomy prophe-
cies. They have come at las, these reduc-
tons but if the ''tal IF r%eformeis' link that
protection would improve matters, tley may
find in the condition of the Treasury of the
United States, the greatest protectionist
country in the world, something which may
make them pause before they try to admin.
lister their pet remedy.
Fortunately for us out here there are al
ready signs of improvement in the CONNER
cial conditions in England, and if the wealth
er here would only show a like tendency we
could we'll be content.
