'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE WEDNESDAY., DECEMBER 3, 1890. FINANCES OF -THE COUNTRY. n - - feoretary of the Treasury Windom Makes f His Report to Congress, OBJECTIONS TO A LARGE SURPLUS. Tack of Elasticity the Gravest Defect in Our Fresent Financlal System— ITncreased Pension Estimates— The Silver il Wasnivarox, Dec, The repoat of the secretory of the treasury, submitted to con- gress today, shows the total receipts of tue r the past fiscal year were and tho toral expenditures This includes the revenuos s of the postal department. 1 from the aggrogate on both ccount there remains as the or- venues of the government the sum 263 and as ordinary expendi- . and expendit Deducting th sides of t tures the sum of §207,7536,486,60,leaving a sur- > Plus of $105,544,490.03. Of this amount there was used in the redemption of notes and frac- tional currency, and purchase of bonds for the sinking fund, the sum of $48,004, 06, loaving a net surpius for the year of § 081.87. As compared with the fisc receipts for 1800 haveinc For the fiscal year 1501 the revenues arc es timated at £105,000,000 and the expeuditures at §354,000,000, leaving an estimated surplus of §32,000,000. If to the estimated surplus there be added the the yearand the national bank fund denc in the treasury under the act of July l4, 1800, the total ‘available assets for the year, exclusi f fractional silver and minor coin, will be §162,000,000, ‘There has been paid out during the first four months of the year in = rchase of bonds for the sinking fund and in other redemptions of the debt, in- cluding promium, about $100,000,000. It is ostimated that the redemptions of 4!/ per oot bouds during the remaining cight months of the year will be $10,000,000, mak- - Al outlity for Yonds purchased during including premium, of $110,000,000, leaving ‘s net bulance on June 30, 1591, of £2,000,000 available during the next fiscal year. The estimate of revenuo to be derived from customs during, the present fiscal year is based upon the assumption that there will be a probable loss from miticles placed on the froo list, including sugar, during the last quarter of the year amounting to £25,000,000; but as there has been an increase of 16,000, 000in the dutts collected during the fivst four months of the § the cstimated net i $0,000,000. ated revenues for the 'fiscal year 000,000 and the expeuditures leaving an estimated suvplus rase of £65,550,804.72 in the esti- mates for 1502 over the " estimates for 1891 is to be found under the following heads: Pen- sions, establish- ment, establish- ment wso; Indian_ service, #1,04 oreas case; public works, $704,000 in’ { military establishment, ' §758,000 in- crease! muking @ total of $30,005,%0. The balance of the increase is duo to the esti- mated expenditure for redemption of national bauk notes, and for bounty on the production \ of sugar, lss a decrease of $1,500,000 in the estimate for interest on the public debt, aud a further decrease of about §3,000,000 ur: spective heads of ‘“‘permanent annual approprintions” and “miscellateous,” The estimate of $i 3 fnterior department the based upon the fact that over the claimants for pensions under ol laws hu\l‘ 1 themselves of the right to p ns under the act of June 27, under the new law, monthly rote, and carry arrcar- only a short time, and for small s, while under the old laws many of them carry very large arrearages, and ill hivve been paid during tho by the 1802, is year new law will therefore v reduce the average aunual value of pen and a reduction in the amount of arrea alone 1s estimated at $10,000.000 for the y 1802, For these reasons it is estimated ‘tha the amount above named for 1892 will be sufficient to meet the aggregate requirements for that year, It is decmed advisable and opportunc at this time to recommend achange in the periods of paying pensions. At present the aw requires that paymentsto pensioners shall be made quarteriy on the fourth day of March, June, September aud December in each yoi ch necessarily involves the accurnulation of large sums in the treasury, amounting to from thirty to thirty-five mil- Jions of dotlars for each quarterly payment. This unnecessary withholding of money from circulation may be obviated by making twelve monthly paywents instead of four quarterly payments, as now required, Upon gonsultation with tho secrotary of tho iuter- . 3 for 1t is suggested that the law be changed so a8 to divido the eighteen ponsion agenies into three groups, as follows cies at Columbus, O., Boston, Mass,, and San | The pension agen- Washington, D.

I am sure those objections appeal to no one with so much force as to the head of the de- partment, upon whom rests » difieult and delicate respofisibility of its administration. In my judgment the greatest defect in our present financial systom is its lack of el J m-ni-. The uationul bauking system sup- N plied this defect to some coxtent by the anthority which the banks have to in % irculation in times of - stringency, and when mouey becomes redundant, [ ason of the high vrice of bonds this ¥ authority has ceased to be of much practical kb value, The demand for money in this country ll s0 irregular that an amount of which wilt Quring ton months of the y quently prove so defic: two months as to cous mercial disaster, without any spec ul.mw nmmpulmmn‘ of money, though, unfortuy v, it is_often in- tensificd by such manipulations. The crops of the country have reached proportions so immense, that their movement to market in August and Septomber aunually causes a dangorous absorption of money. supply to meet the increnses nouths may entail b ultural as well a rests. Though fi may occur atany time, and from many e t nearly all of the gre mercial crises in our history have oocur during the months named, and unless rovision be made to meet such continges nthe future, like disasters may be confi- dently expected. I am aware that the theory obtains, in the minds of many peaple, that ~ if there were no surplus in the treasury, a sufficient amount of money would be in circulation, and hence no stringency would occur. The' fact is, how- ever, that such stringency has seldom been produced by treasury absorption, but gener- io sudden or unusual demand for entirely independent of treasury con- ditions and operations. The fluancial pres- sure in September last, which at one time assumed @ threate avacter, illustrates the truth of this statement. There was at that time no accumulation of money in the treasury from customs or internal reveuue taxes, nor from any other source that could s have affected the money warket. On the con trary, the total disburscments for all pur. poses, including bond purchuses and interest prepayments, during the last preceding fifty- be _ample -~ three days, had been about $20,000,000 in ex- cess of the receipts from all sources The more recent financial stringency in No- vember, immediately after the disbursement of over §100,000,000 for the purchase and re- demption of bonds within the preceding four months, furnishes another forcible fllustra- tion that such stringencies are due to other causes than treasury operations, Referring to the silver law the secretary says: Notwithstanding the fact that the advance in the price of silver following the passage of the law has not becn maintained, the secrctary ventures to express the belief that the uew silver act is a great improve- g ed, and that its ben- eficial resuits will eventually commend it to general approval. As has veen too brief to really test the merits of and the permanent effect which it will have on the price of silver, One thing is certain, that it has been the t the period of time means of viding & healthy and much- ted addition to the circulating medium of United States, el S — Dr. Birney cures catarrh, Bee bldg, — - ’I'ln‘mlyh l'mwh(w ~Pullman palace 1 ining chair ning points via the great Rock Island route.
