During the ),eat' 1898 the the financial transactions were ata follows: - Expenditures .... . ... . ....... $3,703,:379 Receipts ............ ..... , 3,49(),671 Deficit ..... ..... . ... . . . $ '212,708 As a result of this deficiency the Gov- ernment hits had to draw again itOilthe cash resources.

If we take the sunt of the expenditures for 1896 and deduct the receipts from► it the deficiency is $212,708. If we turn to the cash ac- count we see thilt $212708 is the amount by which it bas been pulled down. In other words, the Govern- ment began 1896 with $457,580 to its credit, and ended the year by drawing $212,708 from the account to meet the deficiency in its revenue which the large outlays had created There is another fact that calls for attention. In order to lfeep the revenue up the Government incurred rtn addition to the debt by selling another block of atn- nuities. rhe receipts from this s.tle were $177,730. The income derived by the creation of new debt is not cur- rent revenue. It is a charge uppon re- venue that hos yet to be collected. Deduct the $177,730 from the current, or actual revenue, and the year's ili- cotoe was not $3,490,671, but $3,312,9.11. The actual financial result of the year's work therefore was this: - Expenditure .......... . ... . .. $3,703.379 Revenue ................. .. 3,312,941 Deficit ........ . . . . . .... $300,438 This deficit means that we acre going behind at the rate of $32,500 it month, or $7,500 a week, or of $1,240 every working day. The system of deficits, accompained as it is by a reduction in our rash deposits and by an in- crease in the debt, has been in pro- gress for some years. Here is a table showing the process under which the cash surplus, which the Government inherited on taking office, hits disap- peared 1872 deposited in banks.... , .$4,297,(ffl 1884 "11, . 1,538,000 1895 4114437,580 1896 If " ..... , 2.21,872 Since 1872 i1 87 the cash than hitsis d ap eared a re awes 4 0 2 p gg g $ , 7 ,1 80. the debt %vas, according to last year's budget, $2,668,800. We paid last year $86,20(1 off t•hib debt, thus reducing it to $2,582,- 300; but we have added in now aunui- ies $177,731), which brims it tip aFain to $'2,760,330. Our positron thereIaire stands ill this way: Less cash . ...................$1,072,128 Added debt .......... . ....... 2,760,330 Total .... . ............ . . . . $6,832,458 In other words -we have gone behind to the tttne of $6,932,458, or by $'284,000 umlually. The. $284,000 is all average, bort we are now making the average arer, seeing that last year the actual lefticit was $390,438, while in the year before the deficit was $342,000. It is of oterest to note that the Goverrment has kept its deficit down somewhat by aking over Diumcipal revenues or re- lucing the proportion of revenue going :o the municipalities, and increasing ,he proportion coming to itself; also ;hat it has taken money from the peo- ile, as fur example, by way of the sue- ;ession duties, which realized $165,000 ast year. The important and painful `acts to bear in mind, however-, are hat the cash surplus of $4,297,000 hats iimmered clown to $221,000, that debt if $2,700,000 has been built tip, and ;hat the Government, in the face of ;his situation, is still .iending more span it takes in by $32,500 every month, )r $7,500 a week, or $1,240 it day, SCURFY HEAD.
