» i IN Su. * THE CENTRE DEMOCRA™, Bel LEFONTE, 'A.. JANUARY 2, | 9), THR NATION'S FINANCES Secretary Gigs En Treasury Shows Great Strength. REACHES $100,000,000 SURPLUS Secretary of Treasury Reviews Finan. cial Situation at Close of Year—Na- tional Debt Reduced by Nearly $59,000,000. Washington, Jan. 1.-—~"The treasury 8 in a condition of unexampled strength,” sald Secretary Gage, when asked to review briefly the treasury situation at the close of the year, “Only a month ago, in my annual veport to congress, I reviewed these conditions. The figures for the last month have made little change. For the calendar year we show receipts in excess of the ordinary expenditures amounting roundly to $100,000,000, Such an excess might have resulted in serious embarrassment had not the department been able by means of this surplus to reduce the public debt in large amounts, Since April 1 last, the | treasury has redeemed and canceled United States bonds to the par value | of $58714.700, which he been ap- plied to the sinking fund, and the dis | bursement resulting therefrom was 72,226,845. The available cash on hand is therefore only about $30,000, | 000 larger than the amount held a year ago “Comparing the situation as it is today with April 1, 1897, the result is most gratifying. On the latter day the treasury held money of all kinds to the amount of $250.873.000, includ ing $100,000000 as a gold reserve, leaving ther $150.000,000 as a cash balance. Today in money of all kinds the treasury holds $296,659,000, and if we deduct tne $150,000,000 now held as a gold reserve, the balance stands at $146.000000, or $4,000,000 less than it was April 1, 1897. It will be seen therefore that substantial equilibrium has been maintained “There has been a very material in crease in the volume of money in cir culation since March 1, 18387, as well as in the amount per capita. The vol- ume of money on that date, outside the treasury, was $1.675,694,958, and the amount per capita was $23.14. On the 1st of December last the amount of money outside the treasury was $2,260,256,230, and the amount per capita was 32873. The increase in amount, therefore, was $574561,277, and the increase per capita was $5 ve efore 59." Gage's Resignation Sent to President. Washington, Jan. 1 -—Secretary of the Treasury Gage tendered his for mal resignation to President Roose velt yesterday.
