A POOR MONEY SYSTEM. Country Haa No Reeerve 'fcyetam, tsys Secretary MsoVedgh.

The expenaes of the government in the fiscal year 1912. for which this aesaion of congress Is asked to appro prite, aro estimated at 1630,494.013.12. The estimated expenditures on the Panama canal are given as $S6.920, 847.69, making a total of 1*87,414, 860.81. The eatlmatea, if carried out, repreaent net aavlngs of about $18, 000,000 in the executive departments as compared ,with the appropriations for the currefit fiscal year. Receipts for 1912, Secretary Mac Veagh eatimatea, will be $680,000,000, which would leave an ordinary eur plua of around $50,000,000. If the treasury should continue to pay for_, the Panama canal out of tho casb drawers as at present, auch a nurplua would be turned to a deficit of $7,417, 860.81. "Our system can fairly be colled a panic-breeding aystem," Secretary MaoVeagh says, "whereas every other great national banking and currency system Is panic-preventing. As long aa we continue under our present ays tem we are liable to panics and the devaatatlons of panics reach Republi cans and Democrats and all parts of the olmntry alike." FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS.

While the value of this corn crop is below that of 1909 and also of 1908, its amount belongs to stories of magic, It can hardly be reckoned as less than f1,500,000,000. The growing importance of the South In corn produotlon 1b becoming conspicuous, In 1989 it produced hard* ly more than one-fifth of the national crop; now It produce* one-third, The cotton crop of this year may be worth in Unt and seed around $900,000,000 at the farm, or more than the corn crop waa worth In any year, prior to 1901. This value is 18 por cent, above the five-year average. This is the year of highest produc tion for corn.oaW, the total of all ce real*, and for tobacco.
