In his upecial mcsBaga to congress
Pi;'..iilcnt Cleveland said "there is now
In tho treasury a comfortable surplus
of more than $03,000,000, but It is not
In gild and therefore does not met-
our dilliculty." An exchange points
out that this statement Is misleading,
from- tho fact that this so-called sur
plus is mado up of moneys which the
pri -.'Mont a1 wit's are not available foi
rell'-vliu. the embarrassments of the
treasury and therefore are of little
prcisiKit practical value. It was not
ipiile cundld to use the fact that the
linsuiy has an amount of useless or
unavailable caHh on 'hand as an argu
ment uguiiiNt legislation to Increase the
revi-nue of the ' government, and It
would have leen wiser to have omitted
any reference to the Bo-called surplus.
Dlwunhlon regarding It has not Im
proved the public 'impression as to the
condition of the treasury, but has per
haps had the opposite effect. Inquiry
inspired by tho president's statement
has served to Mliow that tho financial
department of the government Is really
worse off than had been generally sup
P'Wil. .... ' ; , .
l-Ivei-yboily understands that what the
treasury requires Is more revenue an
Income at 'least sulllelnnt to balance
tins outgo. . There are tho best of rea
sons for tho belief that If such were
tho uliuation all feeling of distrust
would disappear, and wltli it the dilli
culty which embarrasses the treasury.
Ah was said by tfcnttt'or Allison a
Hliort tiinu since, the all-Important mat
ter is that of getting more revenue, but
In order to do this It would be neces
sary for the party In power to make
nomu concessions, to Republican policy,
and that neither tho president nor th
Democrats In congress are disposed tc
do. They know thnt thus far their pol
icy bus been a failure, but thoy pro
fess to believe that It will be a sue
cess, though they can give no good
reason for such faith. When tho tariff
vi.a enacted the estimates, of Its sup
porters promised not only an ample
i.-veone, but a surplus. The country
viih told that under the new revenue
pull ..-y tho treasury would at once real
ise a sulllclent Income to meet all ob
ll.vtillons and that as soon as the In
come (ax went Into effect, the govern
ment .would have more revenue than
It needed. The. actual result, however
is u heavy dutleloney, amounting for
tho seven months of the current llecaj'
ye-tr to over $.1-1,000,000 or close to !,-(ii-lUnO
u month. The revenues for tlilf .
period were greater by about $t:!,000,(HK
Cum for the corresponding seven
months of the preceding llscal year,
which Is an encouraging fact, but a
Uuvu gain must bo made before the
K
ii.ijpls eoual t'ho expenditure. A"
