u. S. CLOSES YEAR
IN BETTER SHAPE
$3.50, 900, 900 Deficit Repre-
Sents Debt Increase of
Only S420, 900, 900.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Considering the business depression
throughout the world, the United States
closes It's fiscal year today In better con-
dition financially than was predicted
last Winter.
The actual deficit is $3.50, 900 900. But
inasmuch as SAC, O00. 900 of that deficit
was incurred in sinking fund payments,
the net amount OF the increase in the
public debt for the year probably will
be in the neighborhood Of $A2O, 1000 900.
When 1t is realized the United States
has been paying of Its public debt since
the war at an average of nearly three
quarters Of billion dollars a year, and
that the average annual retirement has
far exceeded what was provided by law,
then 1t will be observed that an in
crease in the public debt for the fiscal
year just closed Is more than offset by
the extraordinary amounts that were
cut of the public debt during the last
decade.
Increase Insignificant.
To put 1t another way, the United
States has been retiring its war debt
so rapidly that II it paused q year the
net increase In the public debt is rela-
lively insignificant. The Treasury is
still far ahead of it's schedule on re-
tirement Of debts, and even II in the
next fiscal year q similar situation
arose, the American Governments po-
sition would still be better than that OF
any other government.
When the next fiscal year closes on
June 80. 1882, this country will be in
tka 81 nF tel i0YH
It Is more than likely, therefore that
the estimates of expenditures next Oc-
tober will see pruning of the budget
all along the line, with the probability
that, even taking into account the
S246, 1000, 900 which Is to be suspended
on war debt payments from abroad, the
Treasury will come nearer balancing its
budget than 1t did this year.
Pruning Is Expected.
Every effort will be made by the Hoo
yer administration to make a good
showing in June, 1892, and this will
make 1t necessary to preach govern
mental economy all through the next
session of Congress. While the Hoover
regime has been trying to cut expendi-
lures. former President Coolidge. In his
published articles. hints ct greater
economies that might have been pos
sible.
1t is certain that economies can be
made. provided the cooperation of
Congress can be obtained. There are
many members OF Congress. however,
who feel that to have a deficit of q bill
lion dollars or so Is not OF particular
concern because q recovery in business
would soon take care of the increase in
pubic debt.
Mr.. Hoover is going to have his hands
full with the next fiscal year and NAV
be the subject of criticism because he
will have RENTED $246 900 900 with the
account of foreign countries while spon-
sors Of appropriations for domestic
needs will be pointing to the greater
necessity of relief at home. The pledges
of support which Mr.. Hoover has re-
ceived over the war debt holiday will
not interfere with the clamor for great
er expenditures on various projects pl.
forth as a means OF accelerating bust
ness recovery.

winning their second successive flag
while countless injuries all but
foiled the Cardinals.
The Cardinals have the advant-
age Of confidence, built up in their
mad squirt during the final f1fty-f1ve
games of the 1880 season. 1t was
this hair breadth dash which
brought them home in front of the
Cubs by two games. In addition,
Manager Cabby Street has the
finest pitching staff in the major
leagues backed by plenty of power
at the plate. The clubs defense,
with the scintillating frankie Frisch
at second base, is alright.
The return of Hornsby and Root
and the acquisition of several sea-
soned pitchers has given the Cubs
strength sufficient to make a battle
of it all the way. The Cubs big
worry is harmony. Or rather lack
of harmony. Hornsby's elevation to
the managers post was unpopular
with any of the players and if fric-
ton develops the team might we'll
drop into the second division.
Brooklyn, because of tremendous
batting strength, is a distinct threat
and might batter it's way to the top.
The club, however, is top-heavy with
left-handed hitters, lacks defensive
skill and is not overly smart. The
pitching staff is only fair
Weak pitching spoiled the Giants
hopes last season and is expected to
do the same thing this season.
The Pirates are unchanged from
