Aside from the great lucrvase in the
available cash balance, the Treasury
surplus and, the stock of gold, the nota
ble thing In the condition of the Treas
ury to-day are that since a year ago
the amount of national bank currency
in the Treasury ha increased by near
ly $2.000,JOO; the amount of standard
silver dollar, silver certificates, bullion
and subsidiary silver coin from about
J32.0O0.000 to about $39,000,000. and the
Government fund In nntlounl bank
repositories from $101,000,000 to $127.
(ssi.imo. It w a estimated early in 1901. at the
time the measure for repealing the war
taxes wa under consideration by the
Senate Finance Committee, that the
proposed amendment would cause a
falling off in Internal revenue receipts
during the fiscal year of not less than
$40,OtKi,o00. The prosperity of buslne
lias been suih. however, that the re
duction In Internal revenue receipt for
th-i fiscal year bns been only a little
More than $34.0.000. The total re
celpts of the Government from all
source during the lat year were
$503.40.1.181. Of these, $234.5t3.927
Were from customs, "Tfn Increase of
nearly $10,0O0,0ot over the "record of
the year before; $272.r03,214 from In
ternal revenue, and $30,445,046 from
miscellaneous source
The Increased surplus for the year
was due, however, not so much to ln
creiised revenues as to decreased ex
penditure, the total disbursements
being $471,211,707, a against $509,
lKi",353"l.ist year. Owing to the practi
cal cessation of fighting In the Philip
pines and th-j consequent less expen
sive administration of the War De
partment, the military establishment
called for an expenditure of only about
jll2,tHK,0o0 during the last fiscal year,
8s against about $145,HHt,OiMr- in tho
fiscal year of 1001. ' The Navy Depart
ment, on the. other hand, cost about
$.".ooo,OitO more this year than last, but
tho payment on account of Interest on
the national debt Were about $4,000,000
less, and on account of pension about
li2.tHiO.OtM) les during the lastear.
The Treasury officials believe that
tho outlook for the new fiscal year 1
entirely hopeful. The additional re
peal of war taxes, which took effect
July 1, Is estimated to reduce the gros
income from Internal revenue by about
5.000.000 in the next twelve months.
but on the basis of thl year's receipt
tnd expenditures there would still be a
surplus on June 30 next of at least
$17,000,000.
