UNITED STATES FINANCES. 



In Oregon, the fusion candidate received the 

 plurality of 811 as above, and cast his vote for 

 Weaver, but the other electors that were chosen 

 were Republicans. In California and Ohio the 

 popular vote was so closely divided between Cleve- 

 land and Harrison that the electoral vote was 

 split. In North Dakota one of the two electors 

 on the People's party ticket who received a ma- 

 jority cast his vote in the electoral college for 

 Cleveland, thus causing an equal division of the 

 electoral vote of the State between Harrison, 

 Cleveland, and Weaver. The total popular 

 Democratic vote showed an increase of 18,300 

 since 1888, when it was 5,538,233. In the Re- 

 publican vote, which was 5,440,216 in 1888, 

 there was a decrease of 264,639. The plurality 

 of Cleveland over Harrison in the popular vote 

 of 1892 was 382,956. Of the total vote of the 

 country Cleveland obtained 46 per cent. , Har- 

 rison 43 per cent., Weaver 9 per cent., and 

 Bid well 2 per cent. Wing, the Socialist candi- 

 date, received some votes in Maine and Mary- 

 land also, and 21,534 votes were cast which were 

 defective, blank, and scattering. The electoral

UNITED STATES FINANCES. The effect of 

 the tariff act of 1890 and the extension of pension 

 benefits has been sensibly felt in the financial 

 transactions of the fiscal year ending June 30, 

 1892. The customs revenue has fallen off $42,- 

 069,241 from that of the previous year, to which 

 should be added $7,342,078 bounties paid for 

 sugar, causing a net depletion of the Treasury 

 through the tariff legislation of $49,411,319. At 

 the same time payments on account of pensions 

 have increased $10,167,102. Meanwhile the ex- 

 penditures for interest on the public debt have 

 decreased $14,169,019. Exclusive of payments 



on account of the principal of the public debt, 

 the excess of receipts over expenditures has been 

 $9,914,453, the details of which appear in the 

 following statement. 



The receipts and expenditures of the United 

 States for the year ending June 30, 1892, compared 

 with those of the previous year, were as follow :
