Condition of the Treasury Surplus Estimated for 1889
Acting Secretary Thompson outlined the 1889 fiscal year surplus prospects after Congress passed all appropriation bills. He cited a nominal surplus of about 19 million against 421.6 million in spending, but argued actual surplus could reach around 104 million when unexpended balances and the sinking fund are included. He noted current receipts through October 15 were near prior year levels, suggesting receipts may meet or exceed forecasts.
