An examination of tho aubjoot discloses this fact in every detail, and leada in evitably to tho eonoluaion that tho rev enue that, allows it in unjustifiable and should bo corrected.

Notwithstaud 1 nrr there was a decrease of $I0,70U, iyH, in tho ordinary expenses of tho govern ment as compared with the pro vioun fiscal its income was still not sufiieieut to provide for its daily necessities and tho gold reserve in tho Treasury for the redemption of greenbacks ' was j drawn upon to meet them.

It m?v be urftod that even if the revenue 01 tho government hud been auflicient to meet all its ordinary expenses during the past threo years, the gold reserve would have still' been msufiicient to meet the demands upon it, but bo that as it may it is clearly manifeat, without denying or confirm ing the correctness of such a conclu sion that tho debt would liavo boon decreased in pt least tho amount of tho deficiency, and business confidence im measurably strengthened throughout tho ronntry. , Congress should promptly correct tho existing conditions. Ample revenues must bo supplied not only for tho ordi nary expenses of the government, but for tho prompt imyment of liberal pen sions and the liquidfttion of the princi pal and interest of the public debt.
