LIST OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEARS 1886-'87, 1887-'8, 1888-'9, 1889-'90, AND 1890-'91. TITLE. Second Session. Appropriations, 1887. Appropriations, 1888. Appropriations, 1889. Appropriations, 1890. Fifty-first Congress. First Session. Fiftieth Congress. First Session. (a) This amount includes $3,500,000 for "increase of the Navy," appropriated by special act. (b) Includes $6,000,000, pension deficiencies for 1886, appropriated by special act. (c) This amount includes $6,900,000 for Mexican war pensions, appropriated by special act. (d) Includes $3,500,000, pension deficiencies for 1888, appropriated by special act. (e) This is the aggregate amount of the deficiency acts passed during the first session of the Fiftieth Congress, exclusive of $3,500,000 for pensions. No deficiency act was passed during the second session of the Forty-ninth Congress. (f) Includes $8,000,000, pension deficiency for 1889, appropriated in general deficiency act. (g) Includes $25,321,907.35 pension deficiency for 1890, appropriated in Deficiency acts. *The total revenues of the Government (including postal receipts) for 1891 were estimated last fall by the proper officers at $450,414,337-34, but the actual revenues for the year ended June 30, 1890, proved to be $461,000,000. The revenues for 1891 can fairly be assumed, with unchanged conditions, to be a sum not less than for 1890, or $461,000,000. Of the sums appropriated during the first session of the Fifty-first Congress, for deficiencies in the fiscal year 1890, and included above, $28,500,000 have already been paid by the Treasury. Besides, $20,000,000 of the appropriations made for the fiscal year 1891 will not be expended within that year. So that the demands upon the Treasury will be, from these two causes, $48,500,000 less than the total of the appropriations given. With the revenues of 1891 the same as in 1890, the expenditures of 1891, including $49,000,000 for the Sinking Fund, will thus be $54,303,671.25 less than the revenues; and the Treasury began the fiscal year 1891 with $55,409,748.66 net cash in it. The Sundry Civil and River and Harbor appropriations are not fully settled. On the former, there are net disagreements unadjusted by the two Houses, amounting to $277,000. The River and Harbor figures are those of the bill as reported by the Senate committee and pending. These amounts and the Miscellaneous appropriations, which last close with July 11, 1890, are subject to slight changes. The General Deficiency appropriations, now pending in the House, are included in the above figures-EDITOR.
