GOVERNMENTAL RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. ORDINARY REVENUES EXCLUSIVE OF POSTAL REVENUES, BY FISCAL YEARS, 1880 TO 1911.

The following table shows the ordinary revenue of the government by fiscal years and the excess of revenue or expenditure for each fiscal year, the figures marked by a star indicating excess of expenditure. Receipts are grouped under the heads of customs, internal revenue and miscellaneous items. Prior to 1880 receipts from premiums on loans and sales of gold coin were tabulated separately, prior to 1888 receipts from direct taxes were tabulated separately and prior to 1903 receipts from sales of public lands were tabulated separately. The figures of total revenue in years prior to 1903 include relatively small receipts from these sources; since 1903 all receipts other than those from customs and internal revenue are included under the head of miscellaneous.

Up to 1906 the figures showing an excess of revenue or of expenditures include all ordinary expenditures, but a new form of statement has been adopted by the Treasury classifying separately from 1906 the expenditures on the Panama Canal. Surpluses and deficits since 1906 show therefore the excess of revenue over expenditures except for Panama Canal purposes. The new Treasury statements showing also receipts and disbursements in connection with the public debt are given in a separate table.
