Washington, Dee. 16—Secretary Carlisle’s annual report on the state of finances was sent to Con gress to-day. It shows that the revenues nf the government from all sources during the last fiscal year amounted to $390,373,203. The expenditures during the same period aggregated $433,178,436, leaving a deficit for the year of $48,805,223. As compared with ; the fiscal 1894 the receipts for 1895 increased $17,570,705, al though there was a decrease of i $11,329,981 in the ordinary expen ditures, which is largely accounted , for by a reduction of $11,134,045 j on sugar bounties. The revenues for the current fiscal year are esti mated, upon the basis of existing laws, at $431,907,407, and the ex penditures at $448,907,407, which will leave a deficit of $17,000,000. For the coming year ending June 30, 1897, the Secretary estimates the receipts at $464,793,120 and the expenditures at $457,884,193 or an estimated surplus of $6,908,- 926. The Secretary states briefly the facts concerning the issues of bonds during the year, the partic ulars of which have already been reported to Congress. The Secretary devotes a large share of his report to a discussion of the condition of the Treasury and the currency, in the course of which he makes an exhaustive ar gument in favor of the J cf^’ement of the greenbacks. “During the fiscal year 1894 anil 1895 the oidinn'-y expenditure.-, of the government have been de creased $27,282,656.20 ns compared with the fiscal year 1893, and it, is believed that, with the co-opera tion of Congress, further reduct ions can be made mi the future without impairing the jflieiency of the public service." Continuing, he says: “The large withdrawal:; of gold in December, 1894, and , January and the early part of February, 1895, were due almost entirely to a feeling of ap prehension in’ the public mind, which increased in intensity from gold pay meat and drop to a depre ciated silver and paper standard. ,p he Secretary, inclosing his re port, says that it is not probable that any plan for the permanent el-reiuent of United States notes and j easury notes will be adopted that will nou require considerable fme for its complete execution, and ho therefore urges upon Con gress the propriety of prohibit ing future issues of such notes, or of Nationol Bank notes of less the subject wim vvnich his. name cpiv^d at postal station L. of which has been so much identified in Wm. if.
