. TUB TREASURY SURPLUS. J"'*
Much anxiety is felt among merchants nnd states- .
men at tho large su'plus in the Treasury pf the j"
United States. To this fear, more than to any .
' , . . ' the pr.
other reason, is to be attribute.I the desire in certain mWi?
quarter* to reduce the tariff. The bank* nnd nior- ,|,ou ,|
chants look with alarm at the accumulation of spe- .
r trausai
oie in the treasury vaults, abstracting from tnde it* n j(|
very life, and threatening u money crisis. At tho
end ??f ih' present fiscal year, without some action ^
of Congress providing u safcty-valre, the indepen- jn(ereJ
dent treasuries will hHve $43,000,000 in their cbarh
vaults. To guard aguiiut a coinmcrciul revulsion

At n quart- r past 4 o'clock p. m. it was nnuneod
