TALK OF TARIFF
REDUCES imp ORTS
During Past Fiscal Year Gus
toms Receipts Showed Falling
OFF of $4,000, 900.

| Washington, D. c., November TO-
| The discussion of tariff schedules In
| Congress and probable action in the
near future probable duties were re-
sponsible for the Sl9.U0Q.0O0 decrease
! in customs receipts for the fiscal year
1910. according to the annual report
Of Lee McClung, Treasurer OF the
United States. made public to-day. On
account of increases from other sources,
MIR. McClung points out, however the
total receipts reached the new record
of nearly sI0l.375,0OO.
Calling attention to the fact that the
fiscal year closed with about sT7,60OOoO
as a working balance In the vaults of
tho neutrality-suspicious. the same
amount which is there to-day-Mr
McClunE says:
LAS there Is no emergency calling
for an increase of government deposits
in banks, the Treasury may, by keep
Ing the cash in vaults in time of mon
ctary ease, prevent the use of the funds
for the promotion of speculative en-
pansion. If. however. financial condi-
tons should become strained, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is in position
to give prompt and effective relief to
the business situation"
To meet the demand for small dc
nominations of currency the Treasurer
recommends that So gold certificates
be Issued. removing the restrictions
which contlne the issue to $40 and
above, and also that the provision of
the law limiting the number of SIS bank
notes be repealed or modified Mir
McClung believes Congress should au-
thorlze the issuance OF $1,000 gold
certificates payable to order as there
Ia a demand for that denomination in
preference to tho $4,000 certificate
now prescribed by l6w
The per cent. fund deposited in
the Treasury BY the national banks to
permit the prompt redemption of their
circulating notes is inadequate, says
Mr.. McClung.
Almost throughout the entire fiscal
year." he adds, "the Treasury has had
TO advance money for the REDEMPTION
OF bank notes on the security of the
notes themselves. AS the notes are
not obligations OF the Treasury, the
banks should be required to deposit a
greater amount to provide for current
redemptions."
