TOASUBT. WAtalMTOX,D. a.-TMl awtaal ripwt af Mr, Jordan, Treasurer of the Uoitad BUtea wh sivaa ta Um praaa to-da. Mr, Jordan praaaata a vary eompreheaaivo raaort of tha operations of tha treasury for the fiscal year ended Juae M, liaa, and Ita oondlUoa oa that aad subsssuowt dates. Tha net reoolpU of the Government for tho fiscal year wore BmVial.W; tho mat axpoaditures ware fJMS,S,lM- Tha eeipta ware lf,7,M greater, and the expenditures war WT,T48,T9 kaa thaa last year, making aa increase ia the aat receipt for tha past fiscal year over that of I of 80,-taotT. The excess of revenue over expenditure waa !,, . Duriaf the year bonds amounting to H4,581,850 vere redeemed aad applied to the sinking fund. Treasurer Jortloa suggaeta a revision of the method heretofore wlopted ia making up the sinking fund, by which the sinking fund charge for the earrent year will be fS7,4S,Ue insteaU of f4,S4,7i, aoeording to the preoent method. By the present wethoil the entire debt of the United State will be reilred by the year 1908, and If the method suggested by Treasurer Jordan ta adopted the debt will be extinguished by the year 1918. At the close of the year the United States bonds held as security for National bank circulation amounted to 2?M7-l.P80, a re duction of 8o,l,400 during the year. Three per cent, bonds amounting to 14,458,7o0 were withdrawn during the year, ' ... a most Of which was surrenuerea tor rdomntlnn. The amount of bonds depositeti lurinsr the rear was lCfd.W4.WO, and the bonds withdrawn amountea to im.iws.iw, . . a rA airwa showing a decrease of !8t,ll,eo. Olthe movement of redemption of National bank notes of late years Treasurer Jordan says : The National bank notes presented for redemption during the fiscal 3ear amount ed to f laamtXM, w Inert was tv.,ewi, m 18.96 per cent less than the amount presented for redemption in the fiscal year iSfiR. That there would be a falling oft in the amount presented during the first three months of the fiscal year, and my n! ii Inn. baaed thereon, and expressed in my last report, that the culminating point la the second upward movement in bank note redemptions had bn reached In the fiscal year i. ha been verified. The rate of in crease in the redemptions of bank notes during the second upward movement, covering the fiscal years 1388, 18W, 18&innd 1SM5. ia renresented by the percentages 27, u.ul 19 resnectlvelr. A feature of this unward movement was the constantly decreasing volume of National bank notes actually outstanding, from 9842,43l,v6 on January 1. 18b. to fSl".0a,K on June 30, 1385. a decrease of S,W!!,0. This seems to indicate that tbe volume of bank notes outstanding during that period was excessive, or above the point at which It could be profitably maintained. Another fact, however, should be considered in this connection, which is that, during these four years of Increase in redemptions the silver certificate circulation of the country was increased t7S,73S,1-f rom 89,1 W,7on June 80, 1881, to $114,866,911 on December 8f, 1864. This Increase much more than balanced the decrease In bank-note circulation, aad the apparent excessive Issue of bank notes might, to a considerable extent, he due to that fact. The decline in the volume of bank-note circulation has continued without interruption, until the amount outstanding on September 8, 1, was t808,5ll,il, making a total reduction of 18,910,747 since January 1, 1888, and also after December 81. 18W. the silver certifi cate circulation gradually decreased until an July 81,18ee,it had fallen tW7,801,NW f rom tt57,34,t4. The average outstanding for a year preceding that date was about 191,000,000. Wince July l, iwb, we ueenne ia the bank note circulation has apparently had the effect to check the decrease in the bask note redemptions, as they have steadily fallen off from that date, until they now are Zor tnc current nsce year 1... il about twenty-one per eenu jess tasut a the preceding year. mill further on. while discusslac the auestion of the retirement of the National bank circulation, the treasurer says: "As there seems to be on the part or the punHe aa idea that the treasury is tacking up money in Its vaults on account ac this fund, the whole operation of the retire ment of the notes or a National name win he stated here in order to relieve any apprehension which may be felt on this subject: The three per cent, heads ef the Washington National Bank of Westerly, R.. I., amounting to fH,ww, r-a I Wxi ab the l&th day of September, 1866. On the 13th day of October, l&b, the beak sent its duplicate receipt te this offtee, the original being held by the-Cemp-trelier of the Currency, with the resjnest thatadenosit of ninety iter eenleftbe above amount should be made to retire its circulation with the Treasurer of the United States as agent for the redemption ef the notes of the National banks and renuestinr a check for the ten per cent difference. Accordingly s credit waa alaced unon the "books of the treasurer, as aent for the National banks for S44.G00. and a check for W& aad the amount standing to the credit ef she bank m the 6 per cent, redemption faad, in this ... aj sm vAturaiul to tha baadc The amount of redeemed notes cimrged to this aouat aince it was opened is 8IJWM.

SMaouaaing theqaeaiioa af silver eolaaae, after referring to the fact that there re now in ciroulaUoa ll,rl,44 in standard dollars, tho treasurer says he thlnkn that fJifi,(Wu,fs)0 is the extreme limit af circulation which may be obtained. It certainly can not be maintained at that sum when the new silver l and fS eertifieatea are ia fill supply, aad a return to the treasury of one-hair of the amount of standard del tars now in circulation must be looked for; and so ho asks whether, If the further purchase af silver bullion be determined upon, tho eoinairo might not cease, and tho sum which it costs saved to the treasury. Tho amount expended so far upon the coinage of tho silver dollar, outside of the cost and consequent loss upon tho purchase of the bullion, amounts to H,B,47. All of tbe cost In excess, say. or the cost oi tao coinage of the sum of c7S,,. repre sents pure loss, and amounts, at two cents per dollar, and the cost of these coins, to 88,488,47, To add to this loss would seem unnecessary, and the sumcoum oeexpenueri in tbe purchase of that amount more of the silver bullion. The auopuon ot tais plan would at least have tho merit or adding just so much to the credit or the silver profit fund. Besides, the cost to the Government for transportation of these coins averages tl.flS per fl.000, and the cost to the people of their return to the treasury averages 8S.M per f 1,000. The average cost of transportation to the Government of the silver certificates per 11,000 la fifty cents, the cost to the people, say, f 1.9S, a savins- of K.74 per u.um. a strong argu ment in favor of tho issue of such amount ef these certificates as the business of the country, will permit to be carried on without disturbing its gold revenues or interfering with tho maintenance of a strict parity between the two metals. The amount or silver dollars coined to date is M6,73,a?; tha amount of gold coin and bullion on hand ia $W,4M,S5SL The cost of the fv,T8.8 is 8318,049,309; the present value, $198,014,854 showing an actual less of 888,084,914. The bank of France t onlay is in this position. It holds in its cash at par 8390,S7S.m in silver, its present value at par of exchange, exclusive of abrasion, is flV 509,891, showing a ks of Ita entire capital and surplus, which amounts l,fbj,!m, and 810,000,000 in addition If called upon to liquidate its affairs to-dav. Treasurer Jordan recommends alterations in tbe present sub-treasury system, in order that ii. may conform to the rlnaiicial changes which have taken place since this system was adopted. As the country increases In wealth and population, with the consequent increase of its revenues and disbursements, It will be foand impossible to continue the system in its present form with the extension of the three per cent bonds which, without some depres sion or event that can not now be lorseen, must take place during the ensuing; fiscal year, the only bonds available for Use purposes of the sinking; fund will be the 4& ami 4 per cent, bonds. At the present cost of the collection of the revenue of tho country, say 83.70 par 8480, the loss on the existing sinking faad, say HVOOO.fWa par annum, will be 1785,000 annually, assuming 8 per cent, as the best rate which the bonds can earn. Without discussing the consequent possible dorangeMientof our existing financial system if purchases for th sinking fund are to be maintained at their present figure it will be found to be impracticable to males these purchases, the treasurer says, at such terms and in stick manner an to relieve tbe money market in times of financial, distress. As these derangements happen al most invariably at the tint of moving or the crops of the country, this statement is equivalent to saying every productive interest in the country mast pay toll to foreign buyers, through toe lower range of prices which obtain at awe times, because of the fact that our arrangements for collecting and disbursing our re venues are so defective as to need an artificial and violent remedy in order- to place in active circulation tho moneys withdrawn from the business 'of the country. This method of dealing with the public moneys not true ef any country but thM, and tho practical sense of the-Amerioaa people, as shown through Ha representatives in Congresn, should be adequate to finds remedy for this constantly recur ring evil one sure to grow and become more burdensome in Mr iware auoaai history. aiuHiU tw.
