A like amount is included in the estimates, for the expenditure of each of the remaining three quarters.

It has since been reduced, up to the 15th day of November 1856, the date ofthe Eegister's last report, to the sum of $30,963,909 64. See statement No. 3. I n making this reduction, t h e s u m of $40,916,027 63 has been paid for the principal thereofj and $4,609,882 31, for premium on portions of it redeemed, before maturity, saving the sum of $14,606,441 39 by paying in advance, and leaving the public debt, on the 15th day of November 1856, $30,963,909 64, as per statement No. 3, parts 1 and 2. In addition to the public debt, as above stated, there is due under treaties with various Indian tribes, payable on time, the sum of $21,066,501 36, as per statement No. 4 of this report. This debt, as it becomes payable, constitutes an item of annual expenditure, and is estimated for, by the Interior Department. It is an incident, growing out of the extinction of the Indian possessory title, to the public lands, and is a charge on the annual sales. Besides this debt, the United States have invested money in stocks, for several of the tribes, t a t h e amount of $3,511,624 08, and hold the principal of the Smithsonian fund, amounting to $515,169, under the act of the 7th July 1838, in stocks for that institution, as per statement No. 5. The United States having made these investments for the Indians, and of the Smithsonian fund, annually provide fbr the payment of the interest, which interest is or is not received on the stocks. The arrearages ofthe interest appear, in the tables, to the amount of $120,704 74 on the stocks held for the Indians, and $437,731 92 on the stocks of the Smithsonia,n fund. Statement No. 6 gives the balances of appropriations of trust or special funds, on the books of the treasury, at the close of the fiscal year 1856. Statement No. 7 gives the stocks belonging to the United States, in the Dismal Swamp, Chesapeake and Delaware, Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville and Portland, canals. The estimated receipts for the fiscal .year 1856, with the actual receipts of the first quarter, and the balance in the treasury on the 1st of July, 1855, were $86,850,710 27; and the actual receipts with the same addition $92,850,117 47, being an excess over the estimates of $5,999,407 20. The customs, actual and estimated, were $59,085,238 28, and the receipts $64,022,863 50. The lands, actual and estimated, were $8,000,000, and the receipts $8,917,644 93. Miscellaneous, actual and estimated, were $833,495 98, and the receipts $977,633 03. The estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1856, were $71,226, 846 91, and the actual expenditures $72,948,792 02, being $1,721,945 11, in excess of the estimates. I t will be seen, from an examination of statement No. 1, that the sum of $12,776,390 38 was expended during the year, in payment ot interest, premium and redemption of the public debt, maldng the expenditure upon all other objects, $60,242,401 64 ; the estimated expenditure for interest, premium and redemptionof the public debt, being $10,301,009 71, and the payments $2,475,390 67 more than the estimate, making the expenditures upon other objects, less than estimated. R E P O R T ON T H E FINANCES. y In making estimates to be submitted to Congress, for the annual expenditures, they present themselves in three classes. In the first class, are thehalances of unexpended appropriations, expected to be called for during the year. In the second class, are the expenditures under existing standing indefinite appropriations. This includes the redemption and interest of the public debt, the expenses of collecting the public revenue, and some pensions and other items. In the third, are all moneys necessary to comply with existing treaties and laws, including the expensesof Congress, the necessary public printing, and moneys due under treaty stipulations, the payraent of, the civil list, foreign ministers, consuls, and commercial agents, the •expenses of the army and navy, Indian intercourse, the survey ofthe public lands, the expenses of the United States courts, maintaining lights in established light-houses, with a variety of other objects, provided for by law. The several executive departments prepare estimates, for the branches of the public service, respectively, committed to their charge, with reference to expenditures, arising underexisting laws, as in Class 3, and which theycannot discharge, out of existing or standing appropriations. In addition, the Secretaries estimate,for such appropriations, as in their judgment, are required for their respective departments. This class embraces the estimates printed and sent to Congress, at the commencement of each session; but each Secretary sends, during the session, such additional estimates, as in his judgment, the exigency of the service under his charge requires. There are other appropriations which the Secretary of the Treasury has to consider, in his report on the finances. These are appropriations by Congress, in addition to the existing and standing appropriations, and in addition to the appropriations, for compliance with treaties, and to pay demands arising under existing laws, and the additional appropriations est-imated for by the respective departments, and include all appropriations for public and private claims, objects of internal improvement not estimated for, and all miscellaneous appropriations, originating with Congress during the session, although no specific sum is set down, in the estimates. The receipts from customs fluctuate, with the increase or diminution of the imports of duty-paying goods, and the receipts from publio lands, with increased or diminished sales; whilst the expenditures, to a very considerable extent, depend upon the action of Congress, and the delay in applying for, and settlement of, claims at.the treasury. The legislative power is responsible for all wasteful, extravagant, and unnecessary expenditures, authorized by standing, appropriations and required to comply with existing laws, as well as for all guch as may, from time to time, be authorized; because with that power, rests the right, to lop off all such waste and extravagance, by a repeal or modification of the laws, or by a refusal to grant any such ap.propriations. The executive power is responsible, for a correct construction of existing laws, and an honest application of the funds placed by Congress, at its disposal, in the execution of the laws, and for the objects, for which the appropriations are made. The Execu 10 IIEPORT ON THE FINANCES. > tive has the right, to recommend the repeal or modification of laws, for the purpose of lopping off all waste, extravagant or unnecessary expenditures, and to recommend all such, as public interest may call for, within the limits of the constitution; but the legislature is not bound, by the recommendations, nor to await executive recommendation, as t o a repeal or modification of laws, or as to appropriations, and has the right, by new enactments, to enforce the proper construction of the laws, and their economical administration. It is not necesssary to inquire, wliether the legislative power has the right to omit appropriations, necessary to pay the charges accruing under existing laws, but it is manifest, it would be better to. repeal or modify the law, so as to make the expenditures conform to present views, ra^ther than hazard the injustice and discredit, of failing to pay charges, accrued and accruing, under existing laws. Economy is a legislative as well as an administrative virtue, which it is easy to commend and prescribe rules for, but which it is difficult to observe, with an overflowing treasury and a strong outside pressure. The legislative and executive branches should act in harmony, and work to the same end. If the legislative branch fails, waste, extravagance and unnecessary expenditure, are the result. The executive branch is without the full pre' ventive power ; but if the executive branch fails, the legislature can restrain and correct its abuses. The first step in the right direction, is so to modify the revenue laws, that no more money shall be collected from the people, than is required for an economical administration of the government, in fulfilment of all its obligations and duties, external and internal. The second, is the honest and faithful application ofthe moneys, to'the legitimate purposes of the government. The actual rei^eipts fromcustoms into the treasury, for the first quarter of the fiscal year 1857, viz: the quarter ending the SOth of September 1856, have been $21,925,431 36, being $2,150,971 23 more than the corresponding quarter, of the preceding year. The same causes that operated to increase the revenue from customs, during the ' last year, may be expected to influence, in the same way, the receipts of the succeeding three quarters, but probably not to the same extent. The estimate of receipts from customs has, therefore, been advanced to $66,000,000. The receipts from lands, for the same first quarter of the fiscal year 1857, have been $892,380 .39, being $1,443,345 48 less than the receipts of the corresponding quarter, of the preceding year. The large tracts of land, withdrawn from market, for railroads, under acts of the last session, and the lands which will be entered, under the land warrants, issued and being issued, are calculated to reduce the receipts from lands, from what they were, in the corresponding three quarters, of lastyear; on which account, the estimate from lands, has been reduced to $6,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous sources, have been put at, $955,310 57, as per estimate. The advance, in the estimate of receipts from customs, is made, with the knowledge of the large duty-paying imports, already in warehouse, and under the expectation that the demand for provisions abroad, at remunerating prices, will notbe equalto that of last year; also, of the pressure in the European money-market, and the great REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 11 demand for our cotton and tobacco, with the abundance of money in this country, increased by the payment of the Texas debt and the California war bonds; also the failure ofthe sugar crop of Louisiana, acting in favor of increased sugar importation, and at an advanced price. The ability ot the people of the United States to purchase and pay, not only for necessaries, but for superfluities, may be relied upon, forthe consumption of duty-paying merchandise, to an extent sufficient to meet the estimated expenditures, and allow the cpntinued redemption o f t h e public debt, as fast as, the holders of the stock , shall be willing to accept the principal and interest, witha reasonable premium. Statements from Nos. 8 .to 37, and frqm B No. 1 to B No. 9, are a continuation of those, which accompanied my last report, ori the finances, with the addition, where necessary, of the corresponding items, belonging to the fiscal year 1856, and are again submitted. Statement No. 11 gives, for the fiscal year ending 30th June 1856, the domestic and foreign merchandise exported, at $326,964,918, and our imports, for the same time, at $314,639,942, making the exports $12,325,066, in excess o f t h e imports. The continued increase of our population, and of iinports and exports, with that of our agricultural, manufacturing .and mining wealth, and our facilities for internal and external commerce, as exhibited b y t h e combined tables of this report, encourage me, again, to recommend a modification of the tarifi* of 1846, and a reduction of the revenue from customs. I t is assumed as a fact, beyond question, that a tariff on imports is a tax, and that the tax is paid by the consumer of the imports, and that it is undeniable, that no tax should be imposed or continued, not required^for an economical administration of the government, allowing for the fulfilment of all its duties, present and prospective ; and that the collection ofa greater revenue, is a wrong against the people, who pay the tax, and imparts to the agents who administer the government, a tendency to undue power, waste and extravagance. Many believe, that the $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 annually expended, out of the national treasury, for carrying the mails and for printing books,, &c., has been caused by a redundant and overflowing treasury, and that the same cause has operated to increase our expenditures, upon other objects, and upon some .not called for, by the present or future exigency of the government, nor by the justice of the claims provided for; whilst but few, if any, believe there is any necessity for continuing to increase our expenditures, with the continued increase of our revenue. The tables of imports and exports, for the last ten years, exhibit a constant and continued, although not an annual increase, of our imports and our exports, andj consequently, of our revenue fromcustoms. We should consider the same causes, that have operated to produce this increase, for the past years, will operate to continue it, in future years, and place still larger sums, in the national treasury. The productions of our planting and provision States, as well as our mining and manufacturing States, continue and will continue to increase, with the increased and increasing foreign and domestic demand; commerce being the exchange of the productions of one country or nation, for the productions of another, whether made indirectly, by sale and 12 REPORT ON THE FINANCES, purchase for money, or directly, by barter, the conclusion is irresistible, that both our domestic and foreign commerce have, generally, been of equivalents, and profitable to all parties ; and as they have increased, so they will, under the same circumstances, continue to increase and justify a modification of the tariff, and a reduction of the revenue firom customs. In the modification I have heretofore suggested, the propriety of increasing our free list, by admitting the raw material used in our manufactures, to free entry, and thereby giving to thecapital and labor of our people, equal competition with the capital and labor of those countries, which have, for the beneflt of their manufactures, admitted the raw material, without duty, and have recommended the same articles to be admitted free, that are admitted free, by Great Britain. This would reduce the revenue between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000. I have also suggested, that some articles of general consumption, such as salt, should be added to the free list, and the tariff, on some other imports,^8hould be reduced sorae $7,000,000 or $8,000,000. This, iipon the imports of last year, would reduce the reveiiue, to about $50,000,000 from customs, which, with the receipts from the public lands, is deemed all-sufficient for the necessary requirements of the government; the average expenditures of the last five years, excluding the public debt and the $10,000,000 paid, under the treaty with Mexico, having but little exceeded $48,000,000. If, in future years, there should be increased demands on the government, the revenue from customs may be expected to increase, so aa to meet them, without the imposition of additional duties ; but if not, the propriety of taxation will then be, for the consideration of the constituted authorities. Instead of a modification of the tariff and the reduction of the revenue from customs, many persons suggest, that we should repeal all tariffs, and establish the same free trade with foreign nations, that exists between the States of the Union, particularly those who deem the revenue now raised from imports, unjustly levied and extravagantly and wastefully expended. They urge, that the only remedy applicable to existing evils, is the experiment of free trade with foreign nations, and direct taxation on our people. I have considered that foreign nations, are not prepared for the same free trade, we enjoy with each other, and that we cannot have reciprocal free trade^ without their consent; and that until they agree to admit our productions free, itwould not be expedient, to admit theirs, free, and allow them to tax our labor, when we do not tax theirs, in return. I have considered that free trade, if expedient, should be approached gradually, and p a r i passu with the advance to that end, by foreign nations, and that the modification and reduction of the revenue, as proposed, would be amovement in the right direction, which might be followed, when experience and the condition of our commerce with other nations, should justify it, and have contemplated the time, when the productions of each State, in exchange for the productions ofthe others, would constitute an abundant supply for most of our wants, at cheaper rates, than other nations could afford them, and make a resort, toother/ modes of raising revenue, a question of necessity ; but that, for many years to come^ our national treasury would be supplied, from a tariff on REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 13 imports, and that in the modification and reduction, now called for, we should make it, as equal and just as possible, to our own people, and take away the discrimination now existing against us, principally arising out of the legislation of other countries, in contravention of the industry of our people. The question ofthe tariff, and the propriety and mode of reduction, have been the subject of remark, in my former reports, on the finances. Further reflection has served to confirm me, in the views then taken, and to which the attention of Congress is again called, in addition to w h a t i s here said, and to what may be said, in response to the resolutions ofthe House of Representatives, of the 12th of August, 1856., calling for information of facts and suggestions, upon points connected with the subject. At the instance of the Committee of Ways and Means, the House, on the 12th of August 1856, passed resolutions from A No. 1 to A No. 16, inclusive, and A No. 17, on the motion of a member. They accompany this report, and call for information and suggestions as specified in the resolutions. The first resolution calls for a statement of the farming, planting, and sugar crops of the United States, for 1840 and 1850, as given by , the census of those years, with an estimate of the crops of 1855, in tabular form. Statements Nos. 39, 40 and 41, of this report, give the information called for. The second resolution calls for a statement, of the number of acres devoted to the various crops, in 1840 and 1850, with an estimate of the same for 1855]^ adding thereto such columns and figures, as may be necessary to exhibit, the increase and decrease, in the number of acres cultivated, in the principal crops in 1855, and the increased and decreased product per acre, with additional columns, showing the percentage of increase and decrease in acres, product per acre and aggregate product of each crop, together with such suggestions £QV the enlargement of the market, at home and abroad, as the Secretary of th^ Treasury may deem expedient. Statements Nos. 42 and 43 give th^ inforraation called for, in this resolution, as furnished by the census of 1850, there being no data in that of 1840, and none upon which to make an estiniate for 1855 ; and no data from which to furnish the other specified details. The suggestions requested, for the enlarge^ ment of the markets, at home and abroad, will be found in a subsequent part of this repdrt. The third resolution calls for information, on the wool-growing interest of the United States. Statement No. 44 gives the woolen manufactures in the United States, as shown by the census of 1840 and that of 1850, with an estimate for 18.55, upon the same ratio of increase ; and statement No. 45 exhibits the import and export of wool j foi- each year, from 1840 to 30th June, 1856; also the annual import and export of woolen manufactures,for the same period, with an estimate of the value of the wool, in the manufactured goods imported, in order to exhibit the quantityof wool, required for annital consumption, and the pdrtion produced in the copntry. Statement No. 46 gives a.recapitulation of the foregoing tables on wool, w,i^h the allotment, p e r capita, of the various exhibits therein contained, for the years 1840, 14 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 1850 and 1855 ; and statement No. 47 exhibits the number of pounds of wool produced and its value ; the nuraber of pounds of domestic wool exported and its value, and the home consumption ; the number of pounds of wool imported and its value ; the number of pounds of foreign wool re-exported and its value, and the home consumption, with the value thereof; the value of iniported woolen manufactures, and of those re-exported, and the home consumption, together with the total number of pounds of domestic and imported wool consumed, and the total value of domestic and imported woolen mariufactures consumed, in the United States, for the years 1840, 1850 and 1855. The fourth resolution calls for a statemerit and estimate, ofthe capital employed, in manufacturing wool in 1840, 1842, 1846 and 1856, designating the number of mills producing broadcloths, at said dates, with such suggestions in regard to the revenue laws, as the Secretary may deem expedient, for the permanent establishment of the woolmanufacturing interest, in thq United States. Statement No. 44 gives the manufactures of wool, according to the census of 1840 and that of 1850, showing the rate of increase, between those periods, with an estimate at the same ratio for 1855 ; but the number of establishments in 1840, the census of that year does not give. There are no data in* the department, from which the other specified details can be furnished. Suggestions upon the subject of this resolution, will be fourid in another part of this report. The fifth resolution calls for information, on the preserit condition of the cottpn-manufacturing interesit, arid for suggestions,, how to promote the manufacture, of the finer fabrics in the United States, and enlarge the market for cotton, at home and abroad. Statemerit No. 48 gives the amount of cottori manufactures, as derived from the census of 1840 and that of 1850, with the estimate for 1855, at the same ratio of increase; and statement No. 49 gives the annual export of United States manufactured cottons, from 1840 to the 30th of June 1856, and the export of cotton, from the United States, during the same period; and statements Hos. 50 and 51 give an allotment, per capita, of the inforriiation contained, in Nos. 48 and 49, for the years 1840,1850 and 1855. These tables give the condition of the cotton manufacturirig interest, and of the cottori-growing interest, from 1840 to 1856. The suggestions called for, will be found, in another part of this report. The sixth resolution calls for information on the irori manufactures ofthe United States, also the manufactures of steel and iron and steel. Statements Nos. 52^ 53, and 54, exhibit the manufactures of these "articles, as taken from the census of 1840 and that of 1850, with an estimate for 1855, at the sanie ratio of increase, and statement No. 55 the ^^iportand import of iron and steel, and manufactures of iron and steel, from 1840 to 30th of June 1856, and the export of iron and steel arid manufactures of iron and steel; also, statements Nos. 56,and 57, recapitulating the above tables, with the percapita, of the exhibits therein contained; and statements Ndos. 58 and 59 give the prices of iron and steel, at the principal ports, for a.series of years, which, combined, give the conditiori of the iron and steel interest, in the United States. REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 15 The seventh resolution calls for information, as to articles not produoed in the United States, with, reference to the enlargement of the, free list. Statement No. 60 gives a list of articles imported into, and^ not grown or produced, in sufficient quantities, in the United States. Most, if not all, other articles imported, are also partially produced or manufactured in the United States. The resolution also calls for information, on the leather, and manufactures, of leather, in the United States. The census of 1850 does not furnish any information on th-e manufactures of leather. Statement No. 61 gives the export and import of leather, and the manufactures thereof, froni 1840 to 30th June 1856; and statement No. 62 gives a recapitulation o f t h e preceding statement, with the allotment, per- capita, of the various exhibits therein contained, for the years 1840,1850 and 1855. Statement No. 63 gives the annual importation of hides and skins, into the United. States, from 1840 to 30th June 1856; and statement No. 64 giv.ea a recapitulation of statement No. 63, and the various exhibits therein, contained, for 1840, 1850 and 1855. The resolution also calls for information, as to the manufacture of glass, porcelain and stoneware, in the United States ; statements Nos. 65, 66, 67 and 68 give th,e. annual importations of those articles, from 1840 to. the 30th June 1856, and the allotment, per- capita, of the home consumptiori, for 1840, 1850 and 1855. The -census of 1850 does not give these manufactures. It also calls for information, of the growth and nianufacture of hemp and flax, in the United States. Statements Nos. 69, 70, 7 1 , 72, and 73 give the importations of henap and flax, and the manufactures of hemp and flax, from 1840 to 30th of June 1856, and. the allotment, per capita, of the home consumption, for 1840, 1850 and 1855. T h e census of 1850 does not give these manufactures. It also calls lor information, as to the coal, lead and copper interest of the United States. Statements Nos. 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 and 79, give the importa-r tions of the same, from 1840 to 30th of June 1856, and the allotme.nt, per capita, of the home eonsumption, for 1840, 1850 and 1855. The. census of 1850 does not give these manufactures. It also calls for the growth and manufacture of silk, in the United States. Statements Nos. 80 and 81 give the information according to the census of 1840 and that of 1850, and the importations of silk and manufactures of silk, from 1840 to 30th June, 1856, and the allotment, per capita, of the home consumption of foreign silk and manufactures of silk, for 1840, 1850,, and 1855. The census of 1850 does not give these manufactures, The eighth resolution calls for, information as to the shipping interest of the United States, with a statement of the tonnage employed in the foreign, lake, coasting and river trade, and the railway and carriage tonnage. Statements Nos. 12 and 13 give the tonnage of the United States for each year, from 1789 to 30th June 1856, and exhibit the sail and steam registered tonnage, engaged in the foreign trade, and the enrolled and licensed sail and steam tonnage, engaged in the coastings lake, and river trade, and the States where the same is registered or enrolled, and to which it belongs, for the fiscal year 1856 ; and states ment No. 82 gives the number of railroads, with the length of the road, capital invested, earnings, and profits, with the number Qt persons and tons of freight carried, within the year. 16 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The ninth resolution calls for information, as tothe aggregate amount of federal, State, city, county, railroad, canal and other corporate debts, held in Europe, on the 30th of June, 1856 specifying thesame separately, as far as the same can be ascertained. Statement No. 83 gives an estimate thereof from the best data, within the knowledge of the department. The tenth resolution calls for a statement of gold and silver coined, at the United States mint and branches, from 1793 to 1st July, 1856. This information is„given in stat/ement No. 8 of this report. It also calls for a statement of the entire cost of coinage, since the establishment ofthe mint, including buildings, machinery &c. This information is given in statement No. 84 of this report, showing the cost of ground, buildings, machinery and repairs, separately, from that of coining. It also calls for, an esbimate of the amount of gold and silver, now remaining in the United States. This information is given in' statement No. 85 of this report. The eleventh resolution calls for, a statement of the export and import of gold and silver, from 1793 to the 1st July, 1856, with such suggestions, to prevent and restrain the export thereof, as the Secretary may deem relevant to the establishment of a sound, stable, and healthy hard-money currency, and to retire the small denominations of bank bills, as fast as, gold and silver can be obtained and substituted. " This information, from 1820 to the 1st of July, 1856,is given in statement No. 10 of this report. No account of the export and import having been kept at the custom-house until 1820, the department has no means of giving it, prior to that year. The twelfth resolution calls for suggestions, as to the method ol stimulating and increasing the export of agricultural and other productions ofthe United States, with a view of preventing the export of the precious metals, stocks and bonds, by requiring and making it theinterestof foreign nations, to take our surplus agricultural and other productions, instead of making it their interest, to take our gold and silver, to purchase wheat, cotton, tobacco &c., irom other nations,. Eemarks upon the suggestions, ealled for in the eleventh and twelfth resolutions, wili be found in a subsequent part of this report. The thirteenth resolution calls for a report ofthe frauds and undervaluations in customs, under the acts passed the SOth of August 1842 and SOth July 1846, designating the number of cases, and the amount of frauds and under-valuations, which occurred under the respective acts ; and the fourteenth resolution calls for a, report, as near as practicable, of the amount and proportions of imports, made by Americanborn citizens, on their own account, and the amount imported by citizens of fpreign birth, aliens and citizens of other countries. The regulations of the department did not require accounts and returns, from which the information, called for in the thirteenth and fourteenth resolutions, could be given. Circulars were sent to some of the principal custom-houses, for the required information, but all did not appear on their books, and it was found to involve too much labor to give what did, and the disposable force in the custom-houses, could not have furnished it, in time to be laid before Congress, at the present session. Certain informatioii was then called for, to euable the department t^ EEPORT ON THE FINANCES. 17 make a reliable estimate, which will be found in statements Nos. 86 and 87. The fifteenth resolution calls for a report ofthe advantages and disadvantages of specific arid ad valorem duties, in reference to the interest of the country, and the frauds of, and under-valuations incident to, the two classes or systems of duties ; and the sixteenth calls for a report upon the advantages and disadvantages ofthe home valuation system, in the collection of customs, as adopted and practised by the British governmerit, with reference to its incorporation into the revenue laws of the United States. Eemarks upon the subject-matter of the fifteenth and sixteenth resolutions, will be found in the after part of this report. The seventeenth resolution passed by the House of Eepresentatives at the Fame time, calls for a report, under specific heads, of the amount of appropriations and expenditures of every kind incurred by the governinent, annually, since the 30fch of June, 1825, in the construction, repair^ rent and preservation of custom-houses; the cost, expense and maintenance of revenue cutters and other vessels engaged permanently and temporarily in the revenue service, and the amount of all other expenditures incurred in, or resulting from, the collection of the customs, or duties on imports, since the above date. The information called for is given in statement No. 88 of this report, with the items separate on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Thes tatistical information called for in the first and second resolutions, taken in connexion with the information given in the statistics of this report, places before Congress the whole information, within the reach of the department, upon the agricultural, planting and manufacturing interests of the United States, as they e:s:isted in 1840 and 1850, and the basis for an estimate as to the present condition thereof, sufficiently ^accurate, for any practical purpose. The statistics upon the production and importation of wool, and manufactures of wool, have been prepared with care, in order to place the questions, connected with the production and iniportation of wool and manufactures of wool, involved in the proposition, to admit wool as a raw material free of duty, fully and fairly before Congress. I t will be seen that in 1840, according to the cerisus of that year, we manufactured woolen goods, to the value of $20,696,999, and that in addition, we imported manufactures of wool, to the value of $8,652,785; making our consumption of the manufacturesof wool $29,349,784, and the consumption of $1 71YVO- ^^^ ^^^h person, then in the United States. The census of 1840 does not give the number of factories devoted to, nor the capital employed in, the manufacture of wool. The census of 1850, shows there were 1,559 factories in the United States, with $28,118,650 ofcapital, devoted to the manufacture of wool, with the particular States, in which the factories were situated; also, that the manufactures of wool amounted to $43,207,545, and we imported manufactures of wool to the value of $16,976,575, making our consumption of manufactures of wool $60,184,120, and the consumption of $2 59^ for each person in the United States. If we estimate the increased value of our woolen manuiactures, since 1850, at the ratio of the increase between 1840 and 1850, it gives our manufactures of wool at $56,406,786, for 2 18 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. the year 1855; and we find the value of our importations of manufactures of wool, for the year 1855 $23,297,384, making our consumption $79,704,170, and $2 93^-^0- as the consumption of each person, then in the United States. These tables also show, at the periods of 1840, 1850 and 1855, the value of the wool produced in the United States, and also the value of wool importedinto the United States, at the same periods, less the exports of wool. They also show the value of the wool, in the imported manufactures of wool, at each of those periods, estimating the value of the wool, at one-third of the value of the imports, and exhibit the value of the wool consumed by each person, in 1840 at 71TOV cents, and in 1850, at 75YVO- cents, and in 1855, at 93yV¥ cents ; and that we consumed, in 1840 $3,704,092 more than we produced, a n d i n 1850, $7,317,771, arid in 1855, $9,678,690. There are no data, from which to exhibit, the number of factories, nor the amount of capital, employed in the manufacture of wool, in 1855, nor the character of the goods manufactured ; but it is represented that all our factories heretofore engaged in the manufacture of broadcloths and the finer woolen fabrics, have been forced to abandon that description of manufacture, and yield our markets for those articles, to the foreign manufacturer. These.tables show that in 1855, we consumed $23,297,384 of the manufactures of wool, more than we manufactured, and that we consumed $9,678,690 of wool, more than we produced, estimating the wool in the manufactured article, at onethird of the value. Now we import $1,940,697, of wool for our manufacturers, who pay a duty of 30 per cent, upon i t ; and we import $23,297,384, of the manufactures of wool, on which we pay different rates of duty, viz : 30 per cent, on part, 25 per cent, on part, and20 per cent, on p a r t ; whilst with wool free of duty in other manufacturing countries, the duty operates a discrimination against the labor and capital of our own people. This is peculiarly the case, as to the coarser fabrics, which we admit at a less duty, than we impose upon wool. The climate ofthe United States is such, that manufactures of wool are used winter and summer, in some of the States, and in the winter months, in all, and the finer fabrics are used in all. I t is an article for clothing and other uses, that our climate and our habits do not permit us to dispense with, and which our people can and will manufacture for themselves, ifour tariff laws are arranged, so as not to discriminate against them, and in favor of other manufacturing nations. When we first imposed a tax on foreign wool. Great Britain and other manufacturing nations taxed it also, and as high as we taxed it. We discriminated in the tax upon the manufactures of wool, imposing a higher tax upon the finer fabrics ; whereupon G-reat Britain and other manufacturing nations repealed their tax on wool,and secured to their manufacturers, the advantage of obtaining the raw material, free of duty. This advantage over us they will continue to enjoy as long as our tax is continued. The reasons why they, admit wool free, areto be found in the fact,that theymanufacturemorethantheyproduce, and it is necessary they should be able to sell cheap, in order to enter advantageously the markets ofthe world, and it may be, also, to secure the market of the United States, to the suppression of manufacturing in REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 19 this country. We also manufacture more wool than we produce, and consume more manufactures of wool than we manufacture, and continue our tax on wool. The duty on wool was imposed to promote its production in the United States, and was expected to enhance the price. It has failed to secure the object for which it was imposed. The production has not kept pace with our population and consumption of woolen manufactures, and although the prices have been fair, they have not been such as to make wool-growing as profitable a pursuit as many others in the country. In the trial of ten years under the tariff of 1846, there is no greater production of wool, in proportion to the population, than there was prior to that time. It is said we do not produce the inferior priced wools, costing twenty cents per pound, or less ; nor the higher priced wools, costing fifty .cents or more to the pound, and that it is the lower and higher priced wools, that we import, for our manufactures, and that the duty has no effect, and does not enhance the price of the wool that we produce. In consequence of which, we are undersold in our own markets, in both the finer an coarser fabrics, and that the repeal of the tariff on low and the higher priced wools, would not affect the price of the wool we produce, and would enable our manufacturers to use more of our wool, by judicious mixture with foreign wool, and give them a fairer competition for the home market, and induce the manufacture of the finer fabrics in this country. There would be difficulty in the execution of such a tariff, because it would be the interest of the importer, to put the foreign value of his wool, above the fifty or below the twenty cents, to obtain free entry. It is believed these causes would render the tax uncertain and unpopular, and make free trade in wool more desirable and more beneficial, to the wool-grower as well as the manufacturer. In Great Britain, the tax on the foreign wool, when it was as much as sixperice a pound, did not enhance the price to the English wool-grower, although it had been imposed and continued, as well to encourage the growth of wool a% home, as for revenue. The English prices current and statistics show that the price of wool ranged higher, the very first year after the duty was repealed, than it had for years before, and has continued to range higher ever since. It is confidently believed such would be the case in this country, if the duty on the importation of wool was repealed, thereby giving our manufacturers wool, on the same terms the foreign manufacturers obtain theirs, viz: by purchase in the open markets of the world, and that they would be encouraged to increase and extend their business, in order to enjoy the benefit ofthe home market for their goods, the consequence of which would be, a constant and greater home demand, at higher and better prices. The ratio at which our population is increasing, will render necessary a continued increase, in the manufactures of wool required for consumption. The importance ofa home-supply, of this useful iand indispensable article of clothing, calls for the most careful investigation of the effects of our laws, and a prorapt reraedy by their repeal, wherever they shall be found prejudicial, to a constant and cheap supply, from the capital and labor of our own people. In 1790, but little manufacturing was done in the country, as a distinct business. Nearly all that was done was in private families, for 20 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. domestic use. Now manufacturing is a separate pursuit, and immense capital is employed in its various branches. In 1840, the value of our manufactures was returned in the census of that year, at $483,278,215,, and in 1850, they were returned in the census of that year, at $1,055,595,899. The ratio of increase makes our manufactures for 1855 $1,391,031,293. In this result, we recognise thie fact that we have become a great manufacturirig people, and the tables accompanying this report prove, we are likewise a great agricultural and commercial people. An impulse, in accordance with the national sentiment, was given to manufacturing, by the imposition of duties on imports in our first revenue laws, and tjie impulse was increased, from time td time, by the imposition of additional duties. At first we manufactured the coarser and more bulky articles required by our population : gradually we have extended our operations, to a great variety of articles, and tosome requiring much skill in the execution, and now our manufacturers are in possession of the home market,, in a great variety of articles. In 1790, our planters raised no cotton for exportatiori; now it is the great crop of our planting States, and they furnish it, as a. raw material to the manufacturing States, as well as to foreign nations,, and now we manufacture the coarser cotton goods for the consumption of our entire population, and export near $7,000,000 annually, to foreign countries. Our manufacture of cotton in 1840 was $46,350,453, in 1850 $61,869,184, and the same ratio of increase in 1855, •would give $70,964,712. The history of the rise and progress of our manufactures, as given in the tables of this report, together with that ofthe growth of cotton and other productions, is suggestive of all that is required to extend our cotton manufactures, to that of the finer fabrics, and to the enlargement ofthe horae and foreign market, for our cotton and cottonSy and, indeed, for all branches of our manufacturing and agricultural productions. Allow the incidental protection of a revenue tariff, and place our manufactures and productions upon the same beneficial footing, that foreign manufacturers and producers enjoy, in our own and foreign countries, by taking off the duty we now impose on the jiaw material, and give thera fair and equal corapetition, for the horae .and foreign raarkets, and we may safely leave all the rest, to the skill and enterprise of our people. Iron and steel being articles of general use, in all our States and Territories, and necessary in the prosecution of all industrial pursuits, the annual consumption and the annual home production and import, become .a matter of solicitude with many, and of interest to all. I t appears from the cerisus of 1840, that we produced and manufactured iron and steel, that year, to the amount of $29,909,162, and that we imported iron and steel, and the manufactures of iron and steel, to the amount of $7,088,739, and exported iron and steel, and the manufactures of iron and steel, to the amount of $1,104,455, leaving for consumption $35,893,446 ; and from the census of 1850, that we produced and manufactured iron and steel, that year, to the .amount of $60,485,653, and that we imported iron and steel, and the manufactures of iron and steel, to the amount of $17,524,459^^ and exported iron and steel, and the manufactures of iron and steely EEPORT ON THE FINANCES. 21 t o the amount of $1,911,320 ; leaving for the consumption of the year, $76,098,792. The same ratio of increase, in the production and manufacture of iron and steel from 1850 to 1855, that is found to exist between the years 1840 and 1850, gives the production and manufaetures of iron and steel for 1855, at $78,40*6,538. To this add $23,945,274, forthe amount of the imports of iron and steel, and manufactures of iron and steel, for the year 1855, first deducting the export of those articles, and there is iron and steel, and the manufactures of iron and steel, to the amount of $98,598,340, for the consumption of the year. The estimate of $78,406,538 for the year 1855 is, no doubt, some ten or fifteen millions less than the production. • A comparison of the population of 1840, with the production and manufacture, import, export and consumption of iron and steel, and inanufactures of iron and steel, and the like comparison of the population of 1850, with the production and manufacture, iraport, export and consuraption of those articles in 1850, extended by estiraate, for t h e production and raanufacture in 1855, and by the iraport and export and amount left for consumption of that year, places the subject fairly before us, in connexion with our past and future supplies and future wants. The table of prices at Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, for the last seventeen years, furnishes the fluctuations in the prices of bar iron, and a criterion for the value of the other descriptions, and proves that this indispensable article, like all others, obeys the laws of demand and supply, in affecting the proflts of the producer and manufacturer, operating favorably or unfavorably, upon the amount prepared for general use. We have in the United States more iron ore and raore coal, with the usual fluxes, in convenient connexion and of cheaper access, than all the other civilized nations of the world, aad have the necessary capital, skill and labor to produce all the iron and steely and manufactures of iron and steel, required for our consumption, or that may be •required for our consumption, for centuries to come, and also to enable us to supply the markets of other countries, in fair corapetition, with the iron and steel of other nations. These tables show that our production of iron and steel, and raanufactures of iron and steel, was 'greater, in proportion to population, in 1850, than it was in 1840, and t h a t it was greater in 1855, than it was in 1850, giving us the right to assume that, influenced by the same causes, it will be greater in I860 than it now is, and in time, will be sufficient for oiir own conisumption, and then give us a surplus for export. But taking into consideration our present population, and accumulated eapital, with the amount of capital, annually, drawn from other eountries, in the^ course of emigration, and the great cost of carriage, to the interior of our country, with the late improvements, in the modes of production and manufacture of iron and steel, it would not be rash., to expect a full supply for our own consumption, between this and the returns of the census of 1870. • ^ The tax upon iron and steel, and the manufactures thereof, because of their general use, in all sections and in all industrial pursuits, has i3'een considered as equitable and fair a tax, as it was pas.sible to im 22 ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. pose upon the country; consequently no material change has been contemplated or recomraended; but if continued at present rates, it is not supposed the same amount of revenue will continue to be derived from it, even should the use of iron, as no doubt it will, be extended to many other purposes, and be consuraed in much greater quantities. In comraercial intercourse with other nations, based upon equivalent exchanges, as it raust always be, if profitable and continuous, we may well look forward to the time, when we shall produce, within our own limits, all articles that are essential to national defence, and the use and comfort of our own people ; and of these there is none more necessary to the defence ofthe country and the use and comfort ofthe people, and of which* we have better means of producing in the country, than iron and steel, and the manufactures of iron and steel. Tet the production should not be stimulated, by unequal and unjust taxation, nor the period of an abundant supply, from our mines and factories, retarded by impolitic legislation. The home production, of iron and manufactures of iron and steel, is on the increase. The tables prove the production arid raanufacture of these articles, have increased with our increased population, and that we import less, in proportion to our population and consumption, than formerly. Statement No. 60 gives the articles not grown or produced in the United States, as called for in the resolutions. They are not, all raw material used for manufacturing purposes. The raaking such of them free, as are so used, would not accomplish the object aimed at, in the proposed reduction of the revenue, by that mode. There are several articles partially produced in this country, but not in sufficient quantity, to supply the demand, which might be admitted to free entry,> without prejudice to any home interest, and among them are wool, silk, hides, .&c. Statements Nos. 61, 62, 63 and 64 give all the information upon the subject of hides, skins, and leather and the manufactures of leather, within the control of the department. The demand and supply of hides, skins, and leather, and manufactures of leather are matters of great and growing interest to the country. Statements Nos. 65, 66, 67 and 68 give the annual importation of glass, porcelain and stone ware, for the last seventeen years. The census returns of 1850, give no account as to the production and manufacture of those articles, in the United States, in consequence ol which, the department is not able to furnish the additional inforraation called for, in relation to them. It is known, however, that these articles are manufactured in the country—glass and stone ware to a very considerable amount—and the manufacture is being rapidly extended, so as, more and more, to meet the home consumption. The manufacture of porcelain, although introduced, has not increased much, and may be expected to be among the last, that will fully supply the home demand. Statements Nos. 69 and 70, in giving the growth and manufacture of hemp and flax, in the United States, and the importations of hemp and flax, and the manufactures of hemp and flax, show the home demand 'and home supply, and the foreign supply, and prove that the home supply, is not adequate to the wants ofthe country. Statements Nos. 71, 72 and 73 give the importation oi these articles, for 1840 and 1850, with an estimate for 1855. The REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 23 census of 1850, does not give the home production of coal, lead and copper, and the departraent is without the raeans of giving the residue of the information called for, yet it is known that the country contains coal, lead and copper, more than adequate to supply all the w^ants of the country, and that the home supply, is on the increase. Stateraents Nos. 80 and 81 give the growth and raanufacture of silk, in the United States. The departraent has not the raeans of giving the nuraber of establishments, engaged in the manufacture of silk, nor the character of the articles manufactured; yet it is known there are numerous establishments engaged in the manufacture of silk, on moderate scale, and that sewing-silk, ribbons and various articles are manufactured. The statement also exhibits the importations of silk, and the manufactures of silk, for the last seventeen years. The extended and increased consumption of the manufactures of silk, induces large and increasing importations, whilst the growth of silk, when compared with population, is on the decline, and the horae raariufacture, on the increase. The tax on foreign raanufactures of silk, frora the general and extended use thereof, is considered expedient, and as just and equal, as can be iraposed on any importations, and peculiarly proper, taken in connexion with our comraerce with the countries, frora which we obtain our principal supplies. The admission of raw silk, tve'e of duty, would injure no home interest, and might, in time, so increase our manufacture of the article, as to reduce foreign importations. The manufacture of glass, porcelain, stone-ware, the mining , of coal, and productions of lead and copper, and the m.anufacture of silk, may be expected to be increased, and extended, so as to take possession of the home market, in less time, than it has taken the production and manufactures of cotton, to gain their present prosper OUS possession ofthe home market. I t w i l l be seen by reference to statement No. 12, exhibiting the United States tonnage, engaged in the foreign and coasting trade, from 1789 to the 30th of June, 1856, that the tonnage on the 30th of June 1856, is 340,349, less than shown by the statement for the SOth of June 1855. This has arisen in part from a stricter examination of the returns of former years, and a correction, by striking out vessels formerly'Sold without the United States, or lost by marine and other casualties. This statement exhibits the sail and steam tonnage, separately, and shows there has been a regular progressive increase, with our increasing population and commerce, although retarded at times by the accidents of war, the casualties of trade and commercial difficulties. It also exhibits the registered tonnage, which is alone authorized to engage in the foreign trade, separately, from the enrolled and licensed tonnage, which is only authorized to engage in our coasting trade, with partial exceptions, on the northern lakes, and of vessels in the coasting trade, authorized to touch at Cuba; and statement No. 13 exhibits the States and ports, in which the sail and steam tonnage is registered, or enrolled and licensed, and consequently where it is owned. The use of steam tonnage, in the commerce between the United States and other American nations, and Great Britain, France, and other comraercial nations, raay, and it is thought by sorae will. 24 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. considerably, reduce the sail tonnage used in coraraerce, and that cheaper capital in Great Britain, will give to that nation an advantage, over the United States, in steara tonnage, and the carrying trade of our own and other countries, and they attribute the reduction of our tonnage, to that cause. This may be so, to some extent, but no continued reduction of our coraraercial tonnage is apprehended ; nor is it apprehended there is any just reason to suppose, our enterprising shipbuilders and raerchants will surrender, the navigation of the seas,.to Great Britain, and place that nation in possession of the carrying business of the world ; yet the subject is one of interest, and calls for a careful exaraination of our tonnage laws, and the reraoval of all impediraents, to an equal and fair corapetition, for our foreign trade and the trade of other nations. When our navigation laws were flrst enacted, in 1789, the registered tonnage of theUnited States was secured, against the protecting navigation laws of other nations, by countervailing or protecting provisions. Such provisions were, frora tirae to time, extended, so as to countervail the prohibitory enactments, of the commercial nations, with which we had intercourse. These comraercial restrictions have gradually yielded to the more liberal principles of free trade, in the transportation of freight and passengers, until in t h a t business, we have free trade with almost all the nations of the earth,, only raarred, by the charge,of light-raoney to our vessels, where we charge none. This reraoval of restrictions, in our coramercial intercourse with other nations, in the carrying business, has not been prejudicial to our foreign comraercial marine. The burden of lightmoney, to which our tonnage, in the ports of Great Britain and other comraercial nations, is subject, should be removed by mutual agreenient, or countervailing legislation on our part, and the tonnage duty, now charged on our vessels, in the ports of France and some other countries, and on their vessels, in our ports, should, by like mutual agreement, be taken off, and port charges equalized. The coasting trade of the United States has, from the beginning,, been strictly reserved for vessels, built within the United States, and owned by citizens of the United States, tothe exclusion of foreign-built and foreign-owned vessels. The Americari tonnage engaged in foreign trade and inthe coasting trade, hasbeen American-built, and has had the absolute protection of our laws, and the licensed tonnage absolute protection, in the carrying trade on our coast, and in our own w^aters. The protection given to our foreign commercial and to our coasting comraercial raarine, has secured a. large and efficient body of skilful officers and sailors, at alltimes, ready for the defence of our cities and coast, for repelling aggression on our commerce, and for manning our ships of war. In the protection given to our shipping' interest, for the purpose of having, at all times, the power to repel foreign aggression and protect our coast and trade, there appears to have been but little division of sentiment, from the earliest times, to thepresent, whilst the yearly increase of our tonnage, proves the wisdom of our laws in this particular. We 'have no data to ascertain the annual number of persons, or the annual tons of freight carried, in our coasting trade, nor the value thereof Each person must make his own REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 25 estimate of the tonnage employed, and the average number of trips the vessels can make, combined withthe facts that capital constantly tends to that business, and the growth of our enrolled and licensed tonnage keeps pace, with our increasing population and wealth. To exhibit in connexion wdth the tonnage employedin our coasting trade, the passengers and freight transported on railroads, the department has had prepared statement No. 82 accompanying this report, of most of the railroads in the several States and Territories, showing the capital invested, the length of road corapleted in each of them, the annual number of passengers and tons of freight carried, and other interesting statistics of said roads. The amount of coasting tonnage, and the annual number of tons of freight transported on our railroads, with an estimate of that carried by other modes of transfer, exhibit the magnitude of the means required for our internal trade. A reference to the table of production, taken from the census of 1840, will show that our agricultural and raanufacturing production in that year, araounted to $1,006,133,599 ; and a reference to the like table of production, taken frora the census of 1850, will show the agricultural and raanufacturing production, for that year, to have been $2,012,520,539, and the ratio of increase. A like ratio of increase, for the five succeeding years, gives $2,602,363,924 as the value for the year 1855. Suppose $1,000,000,000 to be consumed at the places of production,-and there is left $1,602,363,924 of production, as the basis of our foreign and internal trade, and the source from which we derive profitable eraployraent, for our registered and licensed tonnage and our railroads. Take fifteen per cent, of this for our foreign trade, which is about equal to our exports, and there is left $1,352,009,336 for our internal trade, constituting the commer,cial ligament, that binds us together, as one nation and one people. There is no tax or tariff upon the transportation of the articles, of which our internal trade consists, from one place to another, within any of the States and Territories, nor upon the articles themselves ; the cost of transportation is the only burden, on the free interchange, over and above the cost of the article, and the profit of the producer or dealer. The effect of reciprocal free trade is shown by statement No. 29, of our commerce with the British North American provinces, before and since the reciprocity treaty, which w^ent into effect in 1854. In 1853, the exports of American produce to those provinces amounted to $7,404,087, and our imports from, them to $7,550,718 ; whilst, in 1856, the exports of American produce to said provinces amounted to $22,714,697, and our imports from thera to $21,310,421. The corabined tables accorapanying this report, exhibit our population and eleraents of greatness in 1790, shortly after the adoption of the constitution and the organization of the governraent under it, making us, in many respects, one nation and one people. They also exhibit our present population, with all the accuraulated wealth of sixty-six years, and all the eleraents for increasing wealth and greatness, for years to corae. We have existed as States and a nation, under wise and equal laws, justly and irapartially adrainistered, and have been a constitution and law abiding people, with but occasional 26 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. State and individual exceptions. W h y raay we not hope the history of the past, is to be realized, in our future progress ? Under State and national constitutions, we have had free trade with each other, the products of one State supplying the wants of another,, and stiraulating the industry, enterprise, and prosperity of all. Calls are made for suggestions, for the increase of our internal and foreign trade. Under a conviction that we were collecting, under the existing tariff, raore revenue, than a present econoraical adrainistration of the governraent, and a wise and prudent outlay for the future, raade necessary or called for, and also under the conviction that an overflowing treasury, would induce wasteful and extravagant expenditures, a raodiflcation of the tariff of 1846, and a reduction of the revenue frora custoras, was suggested in ray first report, on the finances, and renewed in both ray subsequent reports, and is now again repeated, with, if possible, a firmer conviction ofits necessity and propriety, and for the same reasons, and others that could be named. The suggested reduction of the revenue, was, by an enlargement of the free list, so as to adrait sorae articles of consuraption and the raw raaterials used by our manufacturers, to free entry, and lessening the duty on other imports. I t was thought that the duties frora custoras, could well be reduced to sorae forty-eight or fifty raillions of dollars, and leave an ample sum, for all the wants and requirements of the government, including the redemption of the public debt, as it should become due. I t seemed to me, that good policy required the raw material used in our raanufactures, to be exerapt from duty, and our manufacturers placed on an equality, with those of Great Britain and other raanufacturing nations, who adrait the raw raaterial to free entry. A tax upon the raw raaterial is calculated to increase the cost of the production, by the profits of the iraporter on the tax on the raw raaterial, and the profits of the manufacturer on his outlay for that tax, and the importer's profit thereon, and of the merchant through whora, it passes to the consumer, interfering with the manufacturers' enjoyment, of both the home and the foreign market, on the same advantageous terms of the manufacturer of other nations, who obt-ains the raw material, free of duty. A single example illustrates the case: Great Britain admits wool, a raw material, free of duty, and the United States impose upon it, a duty of thirty per cent. This enables the English manufacturer to interfere with the American manufacturer, in the American raarkets, and to exclude him, from the foreign market. I t does raore: it surrenders the raarkets of the countries producing the raw raaterial, to the nations who take it, free of duty. Our raanufacturing and coraraercial States enjoy the markets of our planting and provision States, because there exists no impeding duty, giving preference to foreign nations; but our manufacturing, comraercial and provision States do not enjoy the raarkets of Mexico, Central and South America, and the West Indies, nor of other nations inhabiting the shores ofthe Pacific, because these nations do not manufacture, and have but little else for comraercial exchange, than the raw material, which we tax, and other nations take, free of duty, in exchange for manufactures and other productions; and although we are raore favorably situated for coraraercial intercourse, with them, we yield the REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 27 trade to the European nations. Had the suggestion for the admission of the raw raaterial—the productions of those countries—free of duty, received a favorable consideration at the first session of the thirty-third Congress, we would have been iraporting the raw raaterial, the productions of those countries, in our ships, and those countries would have been taking frora us, in exchange, the productions of all sections ofthe Union. W i t h prejudices and antipathies lessening, we would soon have becorae bound to thera, and they to us, in the strong and enduring ligaraents, of rautual and beneficial comraerce. Additional eraployment would have been secured to our tonnage, and additional markets, for our manufactures of cotton and other products. Mexico, Central America, South America, the West Indies, and other nations on the shores of the Pacific, would have been learning to confide in us, and we would have had an increased interest, in the stability and prosperity of their governments. The enlargement of the free list, and the admission of the raw material, is suggested, as the best and surest mode, of giving increased beneficial employment to our tonnage, and increased beneficial markets, for our manufactures and other products, and of cultivating araity and friendship, with our southern neighbors, and also the best raode, of promoting our own prosperity, next after the mutual free trade, we enjoy with each other. Mutual beneficial comraerce is all that is required, to establish, with these riations, lasting relations of peace and friendship, and remove from their minds all apprehension, from our expansion. We should seek comraerce, and not dominion. When they shall know and feel that commerce, alone, is our object, and that it is as beneficial to them, as to us, we shall win their confidence, arid our friendship will be lasting. It will be seen that the total gold and silver coinage of the United States Mint, from 1793. when the mint was established, to SOth September, 1856, has been $549,341,914 14, and that the entire import from 1820, when the account was first kept, has been $293,505,743, and the export $436,587,354—there being no account of the imports and exports, prior to 1820. It is not deemed possible for an agricultural, manufacturing and coraraercial nation, to prevent the export of gold and silver, because in commercial transactions, gold and silver, besides being a measure of value, constitute articles of comraerce, and raust obey the laws of demand and supply. The export may be restrained, by having gold and silver currency of a fixed value, and allowing the circulation of no bank-notes, or no bank-notes not convertible into gold and silver, on demand, and a foreigri comraerce that%calls for larger exports of other articles, than the wants of our citizens make it necessary to import; but whilst gold and silver continue products of our mines, and remain articles of comraerce, internal and external, requiring equivalent exchanges, the export and iraport of gold and silver will continue, and should be no cause of alarra. The desideratum of a sufficient uniform currency, of a fixed value, in all the States and Territories, is all that is required, sofar as currency is concerned, tosecure a sound and healthy foreign and internal trade. A currency, partly composed of bank-notes, has a liability, and to some ex 28 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. tent a tendency, to excess, against which convertibility into gold and silver, on deraand, is no security ; nor is the confining discounts to notes and bills, representing real transactions, a security and never will be, whilst there is such a thing as over-trading and over-production ; and for the sarae reasons, a pure raetallic currency, would not constitute a perfect security, against a diraiuished or redundant supply. Coin vanishes under the influence of wars or apprehended wars ; internal revolutions and strifes; political alarras and apprehended political changes ; a deflciency in the grain crops, requiring large importations from other countries ; the explosion of mercantile s|)eculations ; and a continued unfavorable course of foreign trade. The establishment of a pure metallic currency, would require the withdraw^al of the corporate authority, given by State charters, to 1,398 banks, to issue and circulate bank-notes as inoney, and the consequent withdrawal of $195,000,000, now circulated by thera. Congress has no power to act upon the charters, granted by theStates, and the States may be without power, during the continuance of the charters, and certainly would not agree to make a/surrender of the power to Congress ; therefore, a pure metallic currency may be set down, as impracticable, under our constitution and our laws, to say nothing of the sentiment of our people. Statement No. 32 gives, as expected, an increase, in the number of chartered banks in the United States, and an increase, in the capital employed in therii. They constitute commercial agencies, with $344,000,000 of capital. They maintain a circulation of nearly $200,000,000 of bank-notes, and afford such valuable facilities, to alf branches of our industry, as to to make it undesirable, now, to dispense with them. Their circulation .may be so regulated as to give it practical uniformity and stability, by withdrawing their smaller denominations, of notes, and allowing the gold and silver coinage to take their place. The bank reports do not give the several denorainations of notes, and araount of each in circulation, but leave it to an-estiraate of those of $5 and under, which raay be set down, at one-fourth of the whole, or $50,000,000. In 1844, before the gold raines of California were discovered, the araount of gold and silver in the country, was estimated at $100,000,000. The imports, and the receipts of bullion at the raint from our mines, after deducting the exports, up to the SOth September, 1856, have added atleast $150,000,000 to the amount ofgold and silver in the country, without taking into consideration, theamount brought in by emigrants and returning travellers, nor the amount carried out by travellers and raerchants, riot entered at the custom-house, nor the amount, used in our manufactures or employed in the arts. The suferintendent of the mint estimates the gold and silver remaining in the country at $200,000,000, on the data stated in his communication accompanying this report; and the department at $250,000,000, upon the data and for the reasons, stated in my last report. But whether it be the one or the other, there has been added to the gold and silver from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000, since the working of the mines in California. This affords satisfactory proof, t h a t the REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 29 $50,000,000 of small-note circulation, could be supplied from our own mines, in the course of three or four years, without deranging our currency, or oppressing any branch of productive industry. The only difference would be the supply of a home demand, instead, of a foreign deraand, and the consuraption of a less amount of foreign merchandise. This, a healthy operation of trade would soon accomplish. I t remains to inquire, in what raanner, provision can be made to have the small-note circulation withdrawn, and prohibited. In some of the States, there are no chartered banks, and other of the States have not authorized the issue of small notes ; whilst others, under a conviction of the ill effect upon the currency, and upon their productive interest, have prohibited their issue and caused their withdrawal. This is the result of a correct and corrected public sentiment, and may be expected sooner, orlater, to extend itself to the other States, and thus accomplish the entire withdrawal of small notes, and the sul)stitution of gold and silver, in their stead, for all the small daily transactions, including the payraent of wages. This may not be accomplished for years; but justice to those corapelled to use sraall notes, and to those States, that have not used, or have prohibited their use, in connexion with the losses, a failure to redeera thera on deraand, always inflicts upon labor, or such a use of thera, as to render presentation for payraent irapracticable, and the infliction of a like loss, raay w^ell induce an araendraent ofthe constitution, giving Congress authority to prohibit arid restrain their use, and induce such an araendraent to be called for by the States that have not used, or have ceased, to use, them. At present, an attempt to prohibit and restrain the issue and circulation of small notes,by a resort to taxation, or by applying bankrupt laws to these corporations, would be premature. In my forraer reports, the subject has beenbrought to the attention of Congress, with a view to the full consideration of the evil and danger to our currency, from their conttinueduse, under the hope that Congress, or the States authorizing their issue, would take action, to extend the restriction and make it general. If the sraall notes are withdrawn and prohibited, it is believed the operations of the treasury, in the collection and disburseraent of the national revenue, would be as salutary a restraint upon the banks and upon coraraercial transactions, as could be interposed, and all-sufficient to secure as sound, healthy, and uniforra a currency, as it is ^practicable to have. An exaraination ofthe bank reports shows that the profits of banking, in the gre'at cities and coraraercial centres arise, principally, from the use ofthe large deposites kept by raerchants, and capitalists in their vaults, whilst the profits of banks, in the rural districts, arise, principally, frora the substitution of their notes for raoney, viz: frora circulation. The banks with large deposites, in prosperous times, rely that the loss from withdrawals, will be supplied by other deposites; and the banks of circulation, that the new issues on loans and discounts, will give the means, for the redemption of returning notes. It requires the sarae character of prudence and foresight, to be able to pay deposites, and to be able to pay returning notes. The new feature in banking, presented in the last bank report, showing the extent of capital employed in unchartered banks, proves banking, a popular as wellas 30 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. a profitable pursuit, even without the privilege of substituting bank notes for money. The chartered banks are mostly confined, by their charters, to the legitiraate business of banking, viz: dealing in raoney; and as they are joint-stock conipanies, they generally obtain raen of integrity, prudence, and experience to conduct their business, and encounter, only, the hazard of improvident losses and discounts, to their customers ; whilst the unchartered banks, encounter the same hazard from improvident discounts, and also the temptation to engage portions of their capital, in outside speculations. Banking, whether in chartered or unchartered banks, confined to the legitiraate business of dealing in raoney, with prudence and skill, encounters less hazards, than raost other raercantile pursuits. The one thousand three hundred and ninety-eight chartered banks and branches, with a capital of $344,000,000, and the private banks, with a capitaL of $118,000,000, constitute so many establishments, dealing in money, as an article of trade and coraraerce. They are raanaged by a large corps of intelligent, experienced, and practical men, who, in the general, control them with great integrity, skill and judgraent, not only for the interest of the stockholders and the proprietors, but for that of the public. This conclusion is warranted by the few instances of bankruptcy, or erabarrassraent presented in the year, or a course of years, and by the absence of great fluctuations, in the araount of their circulation and discounts. However, great vigilance should be bestowed, on.the operations of banks, and they should be rigidly confined, to the legitimate business of dealing in money. The most objectionable feature, in contemplating these banks, arises frora the fact, that raany of thera issue and circulate sraall notes, and have not sufficient capital, to justify the eraployraent of intelligent, skilful and experienced bankers, in their raanageraent. The States, by appropriate laws, do prohibit individuals frora issuing and circulating notes as raoney, and raay prohibit the issuing ofsraall notes, or the business of banking, without adequate capital, restrict their operations within prescribed limits, and make abstraction or diversion of the funds, by the banks, or their officers, a criminal offence. Stateraents Nos. 32 and 35 exhibit these chartered and unchartered banks,: in the aggregate, with a corabined capital of $462,000,000, and with a combined circulation, for the chartered banks, of $195,000,000, (the unchartered banks having no circulation,) and with deposites, in the chartered banks, of $212,000,000, (the unchartered banks showing no deposites, and no gold and silver.) The gold and silver, in the chartered banks, amounts to about $60,000,000. An estimate of one-half that araount in the unchartered banks, in proportion to capital, would give $10,000,000 raore, and raake $70,000,000 in both. An estiraate , of one-half of the amount of deposites in the unchartered banks, in proportion to the ampunt in the chartered banks, Vould give at least $38,000,000 in those banks, and make $250,000,000 of deposites in the chartered and unchartered banks. The chartered banks have an aggregate of $704,534,362, due on the bill and discount line, maturing, on an average, in from one to ninety days, and bank and other balances due to them, to the amount of $62,639,725, payable on demand. The unchartered banks have an amount, in proportion to REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 31 their capital, and the daily demands of their business. The daily receipts from these sources, constitute the means of the banks to meet the daily deraands, for the payraent of deposites, redemption of notes and other outstanding claims, and for the purchase of bills and discount of notes. The gold and silver, upon which all this is based, is but about $70,000,000. These banks, and their operations, are diffused throughout the States, and excite but little attention, in their respective localities, although exerting considerable influence, on the business and trade of the country. In this aggregate view of their capital and business, the volume of influence they may exert, upon the business and prosperity of the country, is fairly presented for consideration. An aggregateof the daily receipts and daily payments, at all these banks, would satisfactorily prove that this $70,000,000 is not dead capital, but performs its full part, in our various coramercial transactions. The money statements ofthe treasury, and statements of deposites by disbursing officers, exhibit about $30,000,000, a t a l l times, in the national treasury. The daily receipts and daily payments, covering more than $73,000,000 of annual receipts, and more than $72,000,000 of annual payments, are daily drawing from banks and business raen, large araounts of gold and silver, into the national treasury, in payraent of custoras duty, and in payraent for public lands, and controlling the banks and the traders, in their operations, whilst the daily . payraents, at the national treasury, suppl}, the gold and silver, to new channels of circulation,, without causing undue pressure in raonetary affairs. For the weekly transactions of the national treasurv, see stateraent No. 37. This $30,000,000 is not dead capital. " The $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 of it allowed to the raint and branches, for the purchase of bullion, is always active, being exchanged for bullion and replaced by coinage, yet always ready for the wants of the national treasury, whilst the balance constitutes the distributive fund, that gives confidence in the ability of the treasury, to meet all deraands. . In the United States,'all real and personal property is saleable, as well as the annual productipns of agriculture, manufactures and comraerce, and in prosperous tiraes, can easily be exchanged for raoney, and is the basis of enlarged and extended credits, and acts i n conjunction with the bank credits and raoney in circulation, giving increase to the value of real and personal estate, all articles of commerce, and the wages of labor, and thereby creating a demarid for more money. It is upon this state of things that wars, or apprehended • wars, internal revolutions and strifes, political alarras and apprehended political changes, deficiencies of crops, the explosion of large raercantile speculations and unfavorable trade, act, destroying confidence, and with it.credit, inducing the hoarding the precious raetals, the withdrawal of deposites, the return of bank notes for rederaption, the consequent stagnation of coraraerce, in all its channels and operations, the reduction of prices and wages, with inability to purchase and pay, bank suspensions and general insolvency. There are no raeans of entirely preventing this destruction of confidence, credit, and commerce. The failure of a few banks, merchants, and dealers, occurs in periods of the greatest prosperity, and occurs annually, without much 32 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. effect, upon the great interests of society, and serves to warn and direct the raore cautious and prudent. The destruction of all confidence, credit and coraraerce, affects, in its reraorseless march, every interest arid almost every individual. For this, the reraedy raust be looked for, in a sound currency, well raanaged banks, and prudent raerchants and dealers. Under a systera of wise and just laws, giving security to property, a fair reward to labor, and affording a teraperate and timely control of the currency and all raercantile transactions, we may confidently hope such a disaster will rarely occur. The independent treasury, when over-trading takes place, gradually fills its vaults, withdraws the deposites, and, pressing the banks, the merchants and the dealers, exercises that temperate and timely control, which serves to secure the fortunes of individuals, and preserve the general prosperity. The independent treasury, however, may exercise a fatal control over the currency, the banks, and the trade of the country, and will do so, whenever the revenue shall greatly exceed the expenditures/ There has been expended, since the 4th of Mareh, 1853. more than $45,525,000, in the redemption of the public debt. This debt has been presented, from time to time, as the money accumulated in the national treasury, and caused stringency in the money market. If there had been no public debt, and no means of disbursing this large sum, and agairi giving it to the channels of commerce, the accumulated sum, would have acted, fatally, on the banks and on trade. The only remedy would have been a reduction of the reveriue, there being no demand and no reason, for increased expenditure. After determining to raise revenue, by a tariff or tax upon imports, the question arises as to the best mode of fixing the amount. It may be done, by levying a specific sum, with or without miniraums, on all articles of weight or measure, or by a certain per cent, on the fpreign value, or on the home value, or by a combination of the specific and ad valorem principles. The first mode requires weighers, gaugers, and measurers, for the ascertainment of the quantity, and with that, the sum to be paid. The second requires not only weighers, gaugers, and measurers to ascertain the quautity, but appraisers to ascertain the foreign or home value, and with that, the sum to be paid. The first has but one set of officers ; whilst the second has the same set, and appraisers, in addition. The weighers, gaugers and measurers raay, frora accident, want of knowledge, or design, fail in ascertaining the true quantity, and so may the appraisers, the dutiable value. In the ^ first case, there may be errors to the prejudice ofthe government; in the second case, like errors may, for like causes, exist in the appraisement ; and with the double set of officers, the chances of error and fraud are doubled. The specific sum attaches alike to all quantities, and results in unequal and unjust taxation. The article that costs a dollar, pays the same tax as the article, that costs five. A strong sense of the injustice; resulting from levying a fixed sum, with or withouta rainiraum, upon all articles, no matter what the difference in value, renders it inexpedient and unjust to resort to that raode of levying duties. Those who favor a tariff, for protection, prefer a specific tax, because the tax is generally higher,^and always the same, notwithstanding the fluctuations, in the foreign and home value. Those who iliPO-R-T ^ON THE FINANCES. 83' favor a tax, for revenue, desire ad valorem duties, as the most eqnal and equitable mode, that a just government can resort to. If, to avoid , the injustice and inequality resulting from specific taxation, it is provided, the value shall also be ascertained, and a specific sum attach, pro ra^a, according to the value, it becomes ad valorera. There may. be some twp hundred articles of coraraerce, to which specific duties ini-ght be attached, according to weight or measure, but there are inany, to which-specific taxation is not applicable. It is understoo'd that Great Britain adopts specific taxation, upon iriost iniported artibles, riot admitted to free entry, and the home valuation, upon the residue. There remains the questiori, between the home value arid the foreign value. One objection to the home value, arises frora the difference in freight arid insurarice, frora foreign ports to the several ports of the Uriited States, because freight and insurance would be a component part ofthe home value, and'result in-making a different home Vaiue, in the different ports, to the benefit of one and the prejudice of another. For this and other reasons, the home value is objectionable. The question was fully corisidered, and my suggestions given to the committee of-the House of Eepresentatives, in a letter under date of June 7,1856, which accompaniesthis report, andis now referred to. In addition to what is there said, it is suggested, that the ad valorem principie has been in force and practice, for ten years, is well understood by the experts in the treasury and in the custom-houses, and most of the questions which have presented themselves, duririg the ten yearsof its operation, have had the decision of the department, and mariv of them, thesanction of thejudiciary. I do not think it would be expedient, now, to make a change, and give up the knowledge and experience of the past ten years. The existing tariff laws might be so modified, as to be of more certain arid easy execution, and to the prevention of that fluctuation in duties, of which the manufacturers and the friends of protection complain. The greater partof the revenue, now collected, is from iron arid steel and manufactures of iron and steel, silk and manufactures of silk, wool and manufactures of wool, hemp and flax and the inanufactures of hemp and flax, and the nianufactures of cotton, and manufacturesoTwhichsilk,wool, herap, flax, arid cPtton are coraponent parts, and brandies, wines, and sugars. The iraport of these articles for thefiscal year 1856 araounted to $166,089,379, and the duties on therri to $47,168,850 05, as per stateraent No. 28 of this report. The present tariff laws place portions of these articles, in different schedules, and impose different rates of duty, ori the articles placed in the several schedules, according to value and use, arid to the chief value of the article, composing the fabric. This makes it the duty of the examiners and appraisers to examine, classify, and place the article in its appropriate schedule, and requires skill and time to accomplish it correctly. A part of this skill and labor could be dispensed with, by putting all mariufactures of silk, wool, hemp, flax and cotton, or of which any of said articles is a component part, into one schedule, and at one rate of duty, and render the duty more certain, and the law, inore practicable in the execution. The fluctuation in prices, and consequently the fluctuation of duties, 3 34 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. could be greatly lessened, if not wholly removed, by authorizing and requiring the appraisers, to flx the value at the time of exportation, at^ the average foreign value, for the last three or four years. The a p praisers must have knowledge of all articles of commerce, the countries of their production, and their quality and value, also of the shipping and other charges, and must keep themselves inforraed upon all these points, iri past years, as well as at, the current time. If the law authorized them to go back, and take the average of the preceding three or four years, in fixing upon the appraised value^ the extreme fluctuations in price and duties would be avoided, and the temptation to invoice below value, lessened. The articles enumerated have been selected for illustration : the reasoning is applicable to duties, on other articles, embraced in the schedules, but the difficulty is not so great. The existing laws require the iraporter to produce to the collector, his.invoice of iraported goods, prior to raaking entry, and that invoice and entry is the iraporter's declaration of the-foreign yalue, at the date of exportation, and gives the right to the iraporter of purchased goods, to advance the cost, on raaking his entry, so as tobe equal to the foreign value, at the tirae of exportation, and iraposes an additional duty of 20 per cent, when the entered value of such goods, . is found to be 10 per cent, or raore, below the appraised value, but gives no such privilege of raising the value, to goods iraported by the producer or manufacturer, and does not impose the duty of 20 per cent, when such goods are appraised 10 per cent, or more, above the invoice value. The department has considered, as to unpurchased goods, the act of 1842 is in force, and that under said act, when found 10 per cent, or more below the appraised value, they are liable to 50 per cent, duty on the duty, under the provisions of said act, but the inferior courts hold, that that act is also conflned to purchased goods, and no case has arisen, in which the department has had the question decided, by the Supreme Court. The provisions of the act of 1846, should be made applicable to all imported goods. The attention of Congress was called to this subject, in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House of Eepresentatives and President ofthe Senate, under date of the' 22d day of July, 1856, and the proper raodiflcations of the law suggested. That letter accorapanies this report. It is true, existing law authorizes the seizure and forfeiture of goods fraudulently entered below their value ; but when the duty is levied upon the foreign value, at the date of exportation, such a difference, between the invoice value and the appraised value, is not always such evidence of fraud, without other circurastances, as will justif}'- seizure and conderanation; whilst ten per cent, or raore, in the case of purchased goods, gives the additional duty, and raakes it the interest of the iraporter, to ' look well to his invoice and entry. The law, by not raaking it the interest ofthe importer of unpurchased goods, to look with like vigilance, to his invoice and his entry,|places hira in a raore favorable condition, thari the importer of purchased goods. It is alleged that more than two-thirds of all imported goods are, on account of the foreign producer or. manufacturer. If they were placed on the sarae footing, there would be fewer atterapts to enter goods, below their foreign REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 35 value, and no advantage allowed to the foreign producer or raanufacturer, over the Araerican purchaser and iraporter. In'answer to the call for the araount of United States and State stocks, &c., held in foreign countries, the general summary from my report of the 2d March, 1854, upon that subject, made in compliance with a resolution of the Senate, under date of the 4th of April, 1853, is given, of the araount of such debts, and the part held abroad, corrected, as to the United States stocks, by information in the Treasury Department, and as to railroad stocks by the actual returns of railroads, as given in statement No. 82 of this report. There was not tirae to resort, again, to the original sources, for the necessary inforraation, to raake a more authentic statement. The condition of the European money market, during the recent war between Great Britain, France, and Eussia, and since, has not been such, as to afford a market for additional American stocks, whilst many of them have been returned to America and cashed. There can have been no increase of American stocks, held in foreign, countries, since the report from which the summary is t a t en. It will be seen that the United States stocks, the State stocks, the stocks and.bonds of 113 cities and towns, 347 counties, 985 banks, 75 insurance companies, 360 railroads, 16 canals, and 15 miscellaneous companies, are all set down at $1,407,518,894 and the amount held by^ foreigners at $202,922,937. Statement No. 88 gives the information called for in the 17th resolution of the House of Eepresentatives, and exhibits the aggregate sum expended for construction, repairs, rent and preservation of custom-houses, from 1825 to SOth June, 1856, at $9,116,987 77, and the aggregate cost and maintenance of revenue cutters and other vessels for sarae service, at $7,670,045 68, and all other expenses incurred iri the collection of custoras for sarae tirae at $48,299,168 30, the two latter sums making an aggregate of $55,969,213 98, expended in the collection. This statement gives $1,023,116,676 55, as the revenue collected from customs, for the same time ; and taking the whole expenditure of $55,969,213 98, the cost of collection has been less than 5^ per cent. The $4,738,968 17 expended in the collection, on the west coast, part of the aggregate expenses of collection, has increased the cost of collection, owing to the high prices there, and the large salaries heretofore allowed. The reports of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Auditors, and of the First and Second Comptrollers, the Commmissioner of Custoras, who acts as coraptroller of the revenue collected frora custoras and accounts connected therewith, and those ot the Treasurer, Solicitor and Eegister of the Treasury, accompanying this report, lettered from A to L, inclusive, give the operations of their respective offices, since my last report, which are highly creditable to the incumbents. The current business has been, in the general, satisfactorily and proraptly attended to, but the arrearages have not beea fully brought up, nor the condition of the departraerit all tfeat it should- be, considering the various and coraplicated interests involved. In my last report, it was stated there was still outstanding on the^ 36 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. books ofthe treasury the sum of $24,739,133 41 of the $132,521,154 KO found to be outstanding, on the 4th ot March, 1853. Since that report,, various corrections in the accounts have been made, and also many collections, and accounts closed to the araount of $1,916,345 30, and there has been added in adjustraent$l ,076,164 30. The balance now outstanding is $23,898,952 41. The departraent, after a careful examinatiori and investigation, has ascertained that $6,213,345 69 of the amount, now outstanding, is utterly lost to the government, by the death of the parties, without leaving any estate, or by hopeless insolvency. Statement M, gives a schedule of the names and amounts, under seven heads : No. 1 shows $lj415,631 55 lost in the Navy Department ; No. 2, $2,942,155 71 in the War Departraent; No. 3., $570,393 16 in the collection of customs; No. 4, $24,360 84 in foreign intercourse; No. 5, $89,490 40 on account of Indians; No. 6, $290,627 13 on sales of public larids; and No. 7, $870,688 69 on miscellaneous accounts. It is proposed, with the consent of Congress, to carry these balances to the account of profit and loss, on the books of the several Auditors and Comptrollers, and on the books bf the Eegister. ^ In the irivestigatiori of balances due to the United States, on judgments obi ained on customs bondSj against principals arid sureties, it was ascertairied, riiany of the parties so indebted, had taken the benefit of the late bankrupt law, and clairaed to be discharged frora the payment of these judgtnents, in favor of the United States, under their certificates of discharge. The admission of this claim, would add several hundred thousand dollars to the atnPunt lost, by insolvency, in the collection of the customs. But not considering that these debts to the United States were embraced in the provisions of the bankrupt law, several executionis were issued, on such judgments, in the southern district of New York, and placed in the marshaPs hands, for collection. The parties moved the court to quash the executions, because of the discharge in bankruptcy. The circuit court sustained the motion, and quashed the executions. This did not constitute such a case-, as could be brought to the Supreme Court, in consequence of which, an action ofdebt was directed, upori one of the judgraents, for the purpose of having the question finally settled, by the decision of the Suprerae Court. It was also aiscertained, that, of the outstariding balances due the Uriited States, the sura of $1,609,072 32 was due, frora the late deposite banks, or frora persons against whora, sorae of said banks had assigned debts and deraands in payraent, or to secure said balances. An investigation has been carefully raade ofthe condition of those banks, arid the assigned debts. The accorapanying statement N, upon the subject, gives all the infofrnation the departraent has been able to collect, in relation to thera, frora which it appears, that raost, if not all, ofit is lost, by lapse of tirae arid insolvency. It is submitted, authority should he given, from tirae to tirae, to carry these balances to the account of profit and loss, and relieve the treasury stateraents from these, as well as other insolvencies. The better to prosecute the investittjation of balances due, an alphabetical list has been made and kept REPORT ON' THE FINANCES. 37 in this office, for the purpose of its being able to retain the amounts, whenever the parties should be entitled to receive other moneys at the treasury. This list has saved ranch labor, and gives great facilities, in ascertaining the persons indebted to the United States. The settleraent of the balances due on this list, was placed in the hands of two clerks in the iraraediate office of the Secretary; and many of these balances have been closed, by theproduction of additional vouchers, and by payments. The closing of these balances must necessarily be a work of much and continuous labor, and result in placing many of them, in the account of profit and loss, owing to the hopeless insolvency of theparties. The receipts into the national treasury froni March 4, 1789, to SOth June, 1856, during which tirae these balances have accrued,have been $1,886,136,014 26, and the expenditures $1,837,721,045 1 6 . . In the systera adopted for the sale of the public lands, in 1796 and 1800, the price was fixed, and part required in cash and part on tirae, and credits given for part of the purchase money, until 24th April, 1820, when Congress reduced the price to $1 25 per acre, and adopted the cash system, and interposed for the relief of the purchasers of the public lands, by allowing the concentration of the partial payments to one or more tracts, and the surrender of the residue. This relieved the purchasers, and freed the governraent frora the erabarrassraent of an iramense and accumulating debt against purchasers. In the system adopted in 1789, for the collection of the revenue from customs, importers, were allowed credit for the duties, upon giving bond arid security, for the payment a t a future day. These bonds accumulated, and during coraraercial difficulties, many ofthe parties failed, andthe bonds were put in suit. This class of debt, also, became embarrassing to the government, and the bonds unreliable as revenue. The system was changed in 1842, when the cash system was introduced, followed in 1846 by the addition of the warehouse system; and now, in the Gollection ofthe revenue from customs and lands, there is no loss from credit sales or credit duties. The only loss to be encountered is the defalcation of collectors and receivers, who give security for the faithful discharge of their duties, and the due payment of all the public money they receive. In the customs branch, the system of monthly accounts and monthly settlements, • with daily deposite of receipts, where there are assistant treasurers and depositaries, and prompt drafts or orders to deposite, wdth an assistant treasurer or depositary, when there are none, at the place, has been in force, for raore than threeyears. And in the land branch, like drafts or orders to deposite, when the receipts accuraulate, beyond a certain sum, has also been rigidly enforced, and has tended to lessen the hazards, in the collection and receipt of the public revenue ; and with the practice of examining, by an officer of the department, at a moraent's warning, in connexion with the penalties for erabezzleraent, we have as great practical security as can well be attained, if the proper care is taken to appoint none but men of integrity and capacity to office, and to dismiss all, who fail in the prompt, correct and honest discharge of their duties. The receipt ofthe public revenue being thus provided •38 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. for and secured, a system of laws, for its disbursement in accordance with the appropriatio.ris, and for accounting and settling for the same at the treasury, was also provided. These laws, except where the disburseraent is confided to certain array officers, require from the disbursing officers bond and security, for the safe-keeping, faithful application and proper accounting for the public money, confided to their care. These laws also prohibit, under pain of felony for erabezzleraent, from depositing the public money in banks, or loaning, or the application ofit to any private, or other use, than the public one, for which it is placed in their hands. They also require disbursing officers to pay out to the persons entitled, nothing but the gold and silver confided to thera, and prohibit thera, under like penalty, frora taking, accepting, receiving, or transraitting to the accounting officers for credit any voucher, without having paid the full amount named in the voucher. I t is also made embezzleraent to fail or refuse to account for the public money, and pay over the balance. I t is deemed essential to the honest and faithful application of money, by disbursing officers, and the correct accounting for the same, that all accounts of disbursements, with the proper vouchers,'should be made at fixed and short intervals. The periods of accounting and settling with disbursing officers were fixed for the W a r and Navy Departments, and for some otherbranches ofthe service, quarter-yearly, and the same provision was made for accounting by collectors of the customs and receivers of public money, and for disbursing officers of the treasury, but with authority to the Secretary of the Treasury, to require accounts in his department, to be rendered as much oftener, as he might deem proper. Considering, as stated in my last report, that it was perfectly practicable, to have all disbursing officers of the treasury, render and settle their accounts monthly, the system of monthly accounts and monthly settleraents, was adopted at the treasury, for all the accounts, to which the systera could be applied, without a change of the existing laws. The result to be expected, frora monthly accounts and monthly settlements, is fairly presented, in the report ofthe Comraissioner of Custoras. The fact of but one defalcation, since its adoption, speaks raore than voluraes, in its favor. The systera, so far, has been successful, and no doubt is entertained ofits entire practicability, not onlyin the treasury, but in other branches of the public service, with ranch additional security for the faithful application of, and accounting for, the public raoney. I t is true, each officer will have to raake twelve instead of four accounts, and there will have to be twelve instead of four settleraents ;' but the twelve accounts and twelve settleraents will involve the taking and examination, of no greater number of vouchers, than four accounts and the four settlements, w^hilst the monthly accounts and settlements will, timely, impart tP the officer, a knowledge of the payments, he is authorized to make, and the character of the vouchers he must produce, and the necessity of paying no raoney without a proper voucher. The monthly accounts and monthly settleraents will, at once, enable the • superintending officers to see and know^, how the duties are performed, and to displace incompetent and dishonest disbursing officers. REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 39 It may, at first, require a few more clerks, in the accounting offices; but after the system shall be in full operation, and the accounting and settling promptly enforced, it will take less time and less labor, than it did, under tlie^ system of quarterly accounts and quarterly settlements. Had monthly accounts and raontbly settleraents been regularly enforced, and all failing disbursing oflicers promptly dismissed, the large balances, now outstanding on the books of the treasury, could not have accuraulated. The Independent Treasury act, by prohibiting the deposite of public money in banks, or its application by collectors, receivers, disbursing agents and others, to any other use than that, for which it was collected or appropriated, made the declaration of a sound and correct principle, and by authorizing the deposite thereof with the treasurer, assistant treasurer, and designated depositories, placed it in the power ofthe public officers, to have it kept safely, i n t h e government vaults, without hazard to thera, or their sureties, and provided raeans, by which, supervising officers could know, whether the funds were kept always on deposite, and only checked out, in a due courseof disbursement, in favor of the persons entitled to it. All disbursing officers should be required to make deposite of the funds intrusted to them, with the treasurer, assistant treasurer, or designated depositories, and to check only in favor of those entitled, and to make monthly returns of the sums disbursed by theiri, with a statement of the balance on deposite, except in that class of cases, where the party is not convenient to a place of United States deposite. These depositories, however, should be establishedin all sections, where thereis or shall be consid- . erable public money collected, or to be disbursed. The regulations of the War, and most ofthe other departments, require monthly statements from disbursing officers, of the amount disbursed, although required only to render quarterly accounts to the treasury, for settlement. These monthly statements of disbursements, could readily be converted into raontbly accounts, with proper vouchers for settleraent at the treasury, and for the infoiraation of the supervising officers, and thus a correct and prompt system of accounting and settling, be established in all branches of the public service. The efficiency of the provisions of the independent treasury act, will never fully manifest itself, until the depositories are sufficiently diffused, so that collecting, receiving, and disbursing officers can deposite in their vaults, and monthly accounting and settling,,at the treasury, is required and enforced. The cash system, in the disposal of the public lands,and in the collection of custora duties, has caused absolute certainty, in the payments to receivers and collectors. The system of daily deposites, where it can be done, and drafts arid standing orders to deposite, as the amount accumulates, where there are no depositories at the place of reception, with monthly accounts and settleraents, raakes the receipts into the national treasury, almost certain. W h y will not the deposite system, and monthly accounts and settlements, give the sarae certainty in its disburseraent ? ' The systera of selling the public lands on credit, and giving credit for the duties on imports, has yielded to the simple and better system 40 REPORT ON THE FINANCES,. now in force, and quarterly accounts and settlements with the collectors of customs, has yielded to the better system of monthly accounts and settlements; and in the treasury, raontbly accounts and settlements by disbursing officers, is taking the place of quarterly accounts and settlements. The increased receipts and expenditures require a, prompt rendition and settlement of accounts. Formerly, when the annual receipts and expenditures,were only $12,000,000 or $15,000,000, the quarterly accounts only included some $3,000,000 or $.4,000,000 ; now, they would include some $.15,000,000 or $16,000,000 of receipts and i h e like amount of expenditures, and, now, the nionthly accounts would exceed $5,000,000 of both; and if, as formerly, the quarterly accounts were not rendered, until near the close of the next quarter, and not settled at the treasury, until near the close of the third quarter, the unsettled accounts at the treasury would exceed sorne $45,000,000 of receipts, and sorae $45,000,000 of disburser nients, with alraost an irapossibility of the heads of departments knowing whether receivers, collectors and disbursing officers were properly discharging their duties. The public raoney collected from the tax-payers, for the exigencies ofthe government, in all well regulated and well administered governments, should be safely kept and honestly applied to the objects, fox which it was levied, and such a system, o.l laws and accounting established, as to make it impossible for the officer^ intrusted, with its receipt and disbursement, to apply it to their own use, or allow their friends, to have the use ofit. A strict examination:, into the origin and history of the large balance, now outstanding at t h e treasury, would make it manifest, that the public money was herer tofore devoted to private use, and allow:ed to remain unaccounted for: until, in many cases, the parties became insolvent, and in order to. cover sums wasted and lost by private use, set up unfounded claims, for credits and services. This habit of applying the public inoney to private use, had become so established, as to be consideredi allowable, and no disgrace to the officer—so much so, tlia;t the offices; were sought, for the use of the public nioney, more than, for the honorof the office and its salary. The Independent Treasury act was iur tended to rempve this practice, inculcate sound and honest principles, as to the use of the public money, and brand the delinquent officer with crime. To have this effect, the act must be rigorously enforced., and haye the active vigilance of the supervising officers, with the aidi of monthly accounts and settlements, and the prompt dismissal of all who violate the principle. In fa'ct, no one is worthy to have or retain public office or situation,.who does not acknowledge that principle of the Independent Treasury act, and give it practical effect, in all his official transactions. An agent or officer of the government cannot, without a sacrifice of principle, use the public money for his own purposes, nor allow others to use it, nor speculate upon the government, whose interest he is appointed and paid, to guard and protect. Heads: of departments are entitled to the most certain raeans of ascertaining the conduct of persons, eraployed to receive or disburse public raoney, arid it is believed none can be devised, tha.t would prove more efficacious, than monthly accounts and settlements.. REPORT! O-N THE FINANCESr. 4t In this connexion, attention is called to the various, and complicated duties of the accounting officers of the treasury, who state and settle the annual accounts of receivers and collectors, to over: $.73,00:0.,000, and the annual accounts of claimants, and disbursing agents, to more than $72,0.00,000. This subject was referred to, in my last annual report, with a statement of the raanner and principles of acGOuntingi, at the treasury, representing the high qualities required and essential to the proper discharge of the duties, confided to these treasury officers, and especially so, as to the chief's; of bureaus and heads of divisions. A further consideration of the subject, and its great importance, confirm me in the statements there made, that bothwisdpra and econoray call for'the soundest and ablest lawyers, of integrity and adrainistrative qualities, that can be secured for those, positions., and that the salaries, of those officers:, should be revised and increased. The change in the value of money, mode of living, price of provisions, and other necessaries, since Congress passed upon their compensation, with the great increase in the receipts and expenditures, and' consequent increase of responsibility, justify a revision and^ increase of compensation. The salaries now given, are far less, than: many of the banks, manufacturing- and mercantile establishments', f^f their confidential, competent, and skilful officers, whilst thaamount involved and passed' upon, is not a tithe of the government; receipts and expenditures'. The persons competent to take these posi-r tio.us., are necessarily raen in the meridian of life, of established character, and should posses? the high qualities.indicated. The servicesi of such men, ought .to command salaries, sufficient to enable them tomaintain a proper position., for themselves and families, and the education of their children, without exhausting their private fortunes, or; irivolving themselves, in speculating and money-making schemes. They are in the position of judges, whose duty it is to guard the interest; of the treasury, without prejudice to t h e r i g h t of individuals.^ and sho.uld have competent salaries, and be able to devote themselves^, to, the speci al duties of their offices, without, distracting interest. They should be always in place, and: know t h a t t h e accountants, and clerks.. are. capable, and- attentive to their duties; t h a t all arrearages are. braught up, the records and files: in good order, and the current busi-: nesS: promptly and correctly disposed of They should also feel a a active zeal and pride, in the proper discharge of the duties of their offices, and inspire like zeal and pride, in all officials under, them. Such officers are essential to just and prompt settlements at thetreasury, and the proper condition of that branch of thepublic service. The government cannot afford to appoint, or to retain men, in these offices, who do not possess these qualifications, or who fail to give their whole tirae, to. the duties confided to their charge, or who> dre indifferent to the condition of their offices, and the manner ia which the duties are discharged, or to the qualification, inte.grity a n i attention of their assistants. Attention is called to the remarks of the Third Auditor, upon t h a act of-the last session; providing for the payment of the California^. "War bonds, and the departure, in that instance, from the hitherto^ 42 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. almost universal practice of the government, in causing all claims of that kind, tobe passed upon, bythe accounting officers ofthe treasury, after an investigation of the facts, or by authorized comraissioners, for the investigation of the facts. If the departure, in this instance, is made a precedent, for the payment of such expenditures, by the States and Territories, bordering on the Indian territory, and by the States, in time ofwar and insurrection, the national treasury would be placed at the will of State and Territorial officers, over whom, the government that pays, has and can have no control. The precedent, if established in this class of cases, would soon be exterided to other classes of clairas, where the claimants desired to avoid the examinations, by the experts of the treasury." This established. Congress itself would be the investigators and accountants, where everything would be, exparte. In this connexion, I would call the attention of Congresis, to a species of special legislation, that has lately had its sanction; that is, the reference of a particular claim, to a named officer, whose award is made conclusive. The case of Glover & Mather, referred by act of Congress, to the First Comptroller, at the second session of the thirty-third Congress, and the case of Carmick & Eamsay, at the first session ofthe thirty-fourth Congress, are cases of this description. The clairaants, in both these cases, set up large demands against the United States. The claims are based upon alleged breaches of contracts; which fact being assuraed by Congress, the araount of damages against the government, is the only question referred, where, if referred to the accounting officers, both questions would be open. The action of the Auditor is dispensed with. The action of the Comptroller is not upon appeal, but that of an arbitrator, whose decision, no one can revise. The objection to this system of legislation is, that it takes the particular case out of the operation of the general law, and gives an easier and more favorable mode of reaching the national treasury, and takes from the selected officer, the responsibility of his official position. If the system adopted and enforced, from.the beginning of the government was, andis, expedient and just, for one class of demands against the governraent, it is equally expedient and just, in all like cases, and should be adhered to; but if not, the mode of settling and adjusting claims against the treasury, should be changed, so as to afford equal benefits and advantages to all. The Independent Treasury act has been carried into effect, the past year, as far as it has been practicable, for the department to enforce it. Most ofthe disbursing officers ofthe government, w^here conveniently situated, have, and continue to avail themselves of the convenience and security of depositing, in the vaults of the treasurer, assistant treasurers, and public depositories, as will be seen by statement No. 89 of this report. Those who have not deposited, in the vaults of the government, although convenient, construe the act of 1846, as allowing the officer, a discretion upon the subject. This they sometiraes exercise, by raaking what they terra special deposites, with chartered and unchartered banks. The security of the public nioney, and the prevention of its application, to any other than public use. REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 43 calls for explicit legislation upon the subject, and the extension of the penalties ofthe act of 1846 to those receiving public money, from disbursing agents and others, who have public money in their hands. The courts have found difficulty in applying the act, to all cases within its spirit, because thought not to be, technically, within its terms. The amount transferred for disbursement, during the past fiscal year, was $38,088,113 92, at a cost of $12,945 87, whilst the prenaiuras paid on sale of treasury drafts, have been $54,924 16, leaving $41,978 29 over and above the expenses. I t is believed that, with care and vigilance, the trarisfer of public money will hereafter be made, through the agencies of the treasurer, assistant treasurers, and depositaries, without charge and without risk, except under extraordinary circumstances, and in peculiar times. The receipts and expenditures, during the past fiscal year, have amounted, in the aggregate, to $146,866,933 48, and have all been, in the constitutional currency of gold and silver, without any disturbing effect upon the currency, the banks, or business ofthe country. However, the withdrawal and prohibition of the small-note circulation of the banks is still deemed essential, to a sound and stable currency, and to be called for, by the best interest of all the States. The accounts of collectors of the customs continue to be rendered, at the close of each month, and to be adjusted at the treasury, within the succeeding month, with but few exceptions^ and those principally on the Pacific coast, which require a few weeks longer, for their receipt and adjustraent. The systera of monthly disbursement and •eraoluraentaccounts, withlike raontbly adjustraents at the treasury, has been introduced, since the date of ray last report, and promises to be equally, if not raore, beneficial than the system of accounts and adjustments, established for customs. The system adopted for keeping books, raaking entry for consuraption, warehousing, and tiansportation and exportation of raerchandise, and of making returns to the departmerit, mentioned in my last report, has been attentively continued and enforced, with certainty and uniforraity, in the returns of the collectors of the public revenue. The stateraent No. 30 contains a full exhibit, of goods in warehouse, on the 1st of July, 1855, and on the first of each succeeding raonth, until the 1st of July, 1856, with the araountof raerchandise, entered for consuraption, during each raonth, whether in the original entry, or frora warehouse, and the goods entered for transportation, to interior ports and for exportation, during each month, and the amount received, during each month, from other ports. These returns are made direct to the Treasury Departraent, and are confided to a clerk, whose duty it is to keep the files, enter the returns and raake up the raontbly stateraents. He also keeps the abstracts required to be sent to the departraent, of goods entered and bonded for transportation, and the acknowledgments, of the receipt of the merchandise, at the ports of destination, and enforces the sending the abstracts and acknowledgments, and the due cancelment of the transportation bonds. The returns thus required, enable the departraent to understand, how the business is 44 REPORT ON TH-E FINANCES. being conducted, and when it is necessary to have the books of the port examined, and its business investigated. The statement exhibits the movements of merchandise, during each month ofthe year. The revision of the revenue laws, prepared by the department, under a resolution of the Senate, and sent to that body, at the first session of the thirty-third Congress, and referred to, in my last report, still remains for the action of Congress. The revenue laws consist of various acts of Congress, comraeneing with the organization of the government, with so many amending, repealing and conflicting provisions, that it is exceedingly difficult to ascertain what is, and what is not, in force—consequently, what is the law upon, any particular point. The department, in making this revision, confbrraed to existing laws, with such raodifications and new provisions, as were deemed proper to* make the law conform to the present condition of things, and the wants of thie service. • This revision has been again considered b.y the department, and sundry amendraents and additions recoraraended, which had the sanction of the Coriiraittee on Coraraerce in the House of Eepresentatives, at its late session, and, with the revision, now. rcrmain for the consideration of Congress. It was hoped Congress would have passed upon this revision, at its late session, and that the department could have conformed the revision of the circulars, then being made, to the revised act. The enforcement of the revenue laws, as now existing, called for a revision and raodification ofthe circular instructions of the department, upon the subject. The collection and revision of the circulars, as one code, is; now riearly coraplete, and wilt soon be put in force. If Congress should pass the revision o f t h e revenue laws, the instructions can readily be raade to conforra to t h e revision they may adopt. I t i s believed that the enactment o f t h e revision, would result in great advantages to the revenue, and great convenience, to those engaged in commerce and navigation, and place the revenue law^s before the people, so as to be easily understood by those, whose duty it is to carry them into effect, and by those whose interest and rights, are involved in their enforceraent. There are nopenalties or forfeitures, on iraporters and freighters, in the revision that are not, now, in the existing laws, and none which are not be^ lieved necessary and proper, for the due collecting the revenue. The revenue laws require revision on raany accounts, but upon none raore than upon the subject of invoices, entries, appraiseraents, corapensation to officials, and in relation to enrolling and licensing vessels forthe coasting trade. There are suits against collectors involving questions upon all these subjects. The conflicting decisions.of the departs ment and the circuit courts, in most of these cases, cannot be reviewed^ in the Supreme Court, owing to the amount involved. The report of Captain A. H. Bowman, No. 90, who is in charge of the construction and repair of buildings, confided to the Treasury Department, exhibits, in detail, the operations ofthe department, sinc<a the date of my last report. The plans and specifications for these buildings.and repairs are prepared in the department. The work is contracted for, and let to the lowest bidder, except in a few instances where it is done by days' work, as stated in the report. When a con- REPORT ON THE FINA-NCES. 45 tract is made, a competent person is appointed to superintend the constructiori, and to be present and see that the materials and work are such, as the contract calls for. An account of work done and materials furnished is made at the close of each month, and returned to the department, and payments made according to contract; and when necessary, the works are visited by Captain Bowman, or an agent of the department. The buildings are all constructed fire-proof, and of the most durable materials. The regulations for these buildings accompanied my first report, with directions for keeping and rendering the accounts. The report is accompanied by a list of all custora-houses purchased, all constructed by the United States, and those in the course of construction; also, with a similar list of the marine hospitals ; also court-houses and post offices in charge of the departmento For further inforraation upon the subject of custom-houses, reference is made to the letter of the department, No. , under date of the 3d day of July, 1854, published with this report. Stateraent No. 9 1 , made out froiri the hpspital returns, exhibits the nuraber of sick sailors, who have had the benefit of the hospital fund, and the expense, at each place. The econoraical administration of the hospitals, to the proper relief of the sailors, who contribute to the fund, is one of much interestj and has given the departraent considerable anxiety, because of the tendency^ to iraproper and wasteful expenditure. It has been considered necessary, to give new instructions, as to the collection and proper accounting for the hospital fund; the provisions, medicines, and other supplies; the employment of stewards, nurses, and other servants ;• and the government and supervision ofthe hospitals. These instructions have been published, and are now being enforced. They will be found in the revised code of circular instructioris, heretofore mentioned. The furnishing sick sailors relief, under the contract systern,as mentioned in my last report, is now in force at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other places, as will be seen in the table of sick sailorsMri hospital, and affords the same necessary comfortable relief to sick sailors that is furnished inthe governraent hospitals, and at less cost. It is believed, that the contract systeni could be beneficially extended, to raany places where the governraent has hospitals, by allowing the use of the hospital and grounds, and a certain per diem for the sick; and that under the contract system, sick sailors cari be just as well, if not better, provided and cared for, than they cari be iri the hospitals, under charge of persons appointed by the department, and it is suggested, that authority be given to make such contracts. Eeport No. 92, with the accorapanying docuraents, gives the operations of the Light-house Board, since the date of my last report, with the condition of the works under their charge. The duties of the board have been performed with commendable vigilance and ability. The great facilities afforded to our cpmmerce, by the operations of this board, impart interest to the subject, and recommend it to the continued favor of Congress. The Coast Survey continues to engage the constant an^d vigilant attention of the Superintendent in charge, and it is believed, the money appropriated is beneficially and economically applied, to the early ac 46 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. complishment ofthe survey. The fullest and most reliable information, as to our extensive coasts and nuraerous harbors, cannot be obtained^ without such a survey. I t is believed, the iraportance of the survey to national defence, and to comraerce, and the publication of all the ascertained facts, will continue, as heretofore, to recoraraend the survey to the favor of Congress, until it shall be fully accoraplished. The report of the Superintendent will, as usual, be raade to Congress during the session. The report of the Supervising Inspectors, No. 93, also accompanies this report, and gives the operations ofthe law, under which they are appointed, for the past year. I consider the law requires revision, in the particulars set out in my last report. I t is also recommended, there should be an amendraent of the law, in relation to payments at the treasury, for the reasons stated in my letter and accorapanying papers upon that subject, to the Finance Comraittee of the Senate, under date of the 28th of April, 1856, which accompanies this report. Attention is also called, to the recommendations of my letter, to the chairman of the Coraraittee on Eetrenchraent of the Senate, under date ofthe 17th of April, 1856. I t will be seen frora exaraination of stateraent No. 6, of the State bonds, held in trust for the Indians and for the Sraithsonian Institution, that in some cases, the States have made no provision for the payraent of iriterest, and raay not provide for the payment of principal: The United States having made the investments for the Sraithsonian Iristitution, have to provide for the payraent of interest, and will have to provide for the payraent of principal, if ever that becoraes payable. The action of the United States, in carrying out the special powers vested in it, raight be kept distinct frora the action of the State governraents, and without the relation of debtor and creditor, and the irritation growing out of that relation and defaults. I t is suggested that good policy requires that course, and that the United States should dispose of the State bonds, now held in trust, and realize the loss, assurae these debts, and by a general law provide, when raoneys have or shall becorae payable on time, under Indian treaties, with or without interest, that the treaty obligations shall have the same force as United States stocks on time, or interestpaying stock, and interest and principal payable, as it matures, without other investraent. It wdll also be seen by reference to stateraent No. 7, that the United States hold stocks in corporations, in sorae of the States. It is subraitted, that it is not well, for the United States to reraain a stockholder, in these institutions, and exercise a control, or infiuence, in the raanageraent and direction of their affairs, and that authority should be given, to dispose of these stocks, at the market value, or otherwise dispose of theUnited States share, in these corporations. These recoraraendations are made, because it is believed, for reasons that readily suggest themselves, the United States ought not tobe, in the relation of creditor to any ofthe States, nor that of stockholder, in any of the corporations, created by a State. The Louisville and Portland canal, now the sole property of the United States, has been under the direction of the Treasury Department, the past two years. The tolls, by direction of the department. REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 47 were reduced one-half, and the receipts, forthe past two years, have been expended in the repair of the locks and enlargement of the canal, improvement of the bridges, &c. The report of the operations will be laid before Congress, as soon as received. All which is respectfully submitted. JAMES GUTHEIE, Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. JESSE D .

In the bank report for last year the Central Kailroad and Banking Company, Georgia, appears as owner of $3,524,427 of real estate. No return has been received from that bank for the year 1855, which will account for the apparent reduction of the real estate in the table. That bank returned also a capital of $3,500,000. 139 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 33. according to returns dated nearest to January 1, 1856. 1 1 f .2 6 o OT w rQ o o Specie. 1 B 1 Circulation.

In the construction of this table, when the enumerations and valuations are not given from official State returns, it has been assumed that; the population and property.of the country have increased in fhe .same ratio since the general census of 1850, in which they increased during the decennial period from 1840 to 1850. Tlie increase has, without doubt, been proportionally greater. In some States, the latest official valuations have been given. These are of various dates, and are, it is believed, much too low. The valuation for Massachusetts is for the year 1850; for Maryland and Michigan, for 1853; for Connecticut, New York, and Missouri, for 1854; and for other States, for 1855. With respect to some of the States, the official valuation is so very low that it has been deemed necessary to add to it considerably in order to represent fairly the true value of the property in those States. Thus, to Pennsylvania $500,000,000 have been added; to Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri, $100,000,000 each. Texas and California are exceptional cases, and their population and wealth have been estimated upon such data as could be obtained. The comptroller of Texas is the authority for that State. The governor of Georgia says, in a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, dated the 18th of April, 1856, that in that State ^^ the total aiiiount of the taxable property of all lands is about $500,000,000..'' The governor of Minnesota says, in aletter dated January 29,1856^ that the returns he transmits of the value of the property in that Territory '^ are but approximations,'' the returns not being complete. The official valuation of the property in the Territory of Nebraska, for the year 1855, was so small—only $617,822—that it was thought proper to double it in the table, and it is still too low, probably. The auditor of State of the State of Indiana says, in his annual report, (November 24,1855,) ^ ^ A new valuation of the real estate would probably make the total taxables $380,000,000." The Territories of Kansas, Nebraska, and Washington, do not appear at all in the census of 1850, except as component parts of other States or Territories, and, with respect to them, the estimated numbers and values may be very inaccurate, as they may be indeed with respect to the other Territories, and some ofthe new States. The State valuations of property are for assessment purposes, and are not only low, but the taxable property only' has been valued ; and in all the States there are many kinds of property—some of it valuable—that are not taxed. Supposing the whole population of the United States to be 27,000,000, then, taking the State of Maine as a criterion with respect to the value of property, the amount for all the States and Territories will be, in round numbers, about $5,760,000,000. ' Taking the State of New York as a criterion, the amount will be, in round numbers, about $10,611,000,000. Taking the Stateof Kentucky, then it will be about $10,006,000,000. Taking the State of Illinois, it will be about $7,290,000,000. 148 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Taking the State of Arkansas, it will be about $6,750,000,000. Taking the State of Georgia, it will be about $14,430,000,000. Taking the two extremes, the maximum and-the minimum, Georgia and Maine united, it will be about $10,000,000,000. Taking Ohio and Kentucky, which will make perhaps a very fair mean, the amount will be $10,268,000,000. Taking these seven States as a criterion, the amount will be about $9,233,000,000. This is too low, however, for the official valuation is too low in them all, unless it be Georgia. The $1,500,000,000 added for under valuations for property not valued, and for the increase in value since 1850, is not an excessive allowance. In the" calculations, inconsiderable fractions of numbers and values have not been regarded. No. 37.

Ko. 82. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Novemher 27, 1856. SIR : According to your instructions, I herewith submit tables of Kailroad Statistics. They have been compiled from the returns made by their officers, in answer to interrogatories frora this department, and from such other means of information as were at the time accessible. I t is to be regretted~that the tables are not more perfect; but the indisposition on the part of many railroad companies to give their statistics, their neglect to respond to your inquiries, and the incompleteness of some of the statistics when furnished, have necessarily prevented as accurate a return as might reasonably have been expected. The details of the roads in the eastern, middle, and most of the southern States, are much more exact, and have been more generally furnished, than those in the west and northwest. In Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, scarcely any returns have been made froin the officers of working roads, while no information of any kind has been received from Oalifornia, and but little from Texas, either as respects the railroads worked or projected within their limits. It is believed, liowever, that this compilation will be the basis of more complete and satisfactory statements. There can be no question as to the importance of such statistics, exhibiting, as they do, not only the immense capital invested in and represented by these works of internal improvement, but also the enormous^development of our domestic resources which must necessarily attend upon their completion. It is proper to observe that a large proportion of the details of these tables is made up from the operations of theyear 1855. The travel and business ofthe present year have been much greater than that of the previous one—estimated on some lines as high as thirty per cent., and exhibiting on all routes an increase of their financial prosperity. Many new roads have been opened for passengers within the last few months, and connexions established between important routes, which have added largely to travel and business. I t w o u l d be safe, therefore, to add twelve per cent, to the present statistics in estimating the railroad operations ofthe year 1856. All which is respectfully submitted. I have the honor to be, most respectfully, &c., WM. HEMPHILL JONES. Hon.

From Fourth Auditor's office : , Pay or advance requisitions Transfer or refunding requisitions Total ' 749 271 6,227 The official letters cover 558 pages folio post. The number of accounts reported for suit is 23. Since the date of the last preceding report, a portion of the for,ce of this office, formerly occupying rooms in a building opposite to the Treasury, has been transferred to the department building, and is now under the more immediate supervision of the head of the bureau. The- work of the office is kept as nearly up as the nature of the business devolved upon it will permit, and none of it is in arrear. The bonds of a large proportion of the disbursing officers of the government are required by law to be deposited in this office, where they are carefully filed and recorded in books kept for that purpose. I n order to enable the auditors, to whom the accounts of such officers are rendered, to comply promptly with the instructions heretofore given to make immediate settlements under former bonds when new ones are accepted or required, the date, penalty^ names, and residences of sureties, &c., of every bond received, is communicated to the proper Auditor. Upon examining the transactions of this office in relation to suits brought against debtors ofthe government, it was found that some of the provisions ofthe law of March 3, 1797, (1 Stat., ch. 20, p. 512,) had never been enforced. The first section of that act declares ^' that when any revenue officer or other person accountable for public money shall neglect or refuse to pay into the treasury the sum or balance reported to be due to the IJnited States upon the adjustment of his account, it shall be the duty of the Comptroller, and he is hereby required, to institute suit for the recovery of the same, adding to the sum stated to. be due on such account the commissions of the delinquent, which shall be forfeited in every instance where suit is commenced andjudgment obtained thereon, and an interest of six per cent, per annum from the time of receiving the money until it shall be repaid into the treasury." ^ On a careful investigation I could find no repeal or modification of this enactment, nor any decision nor reason that would make it inapplicable to the accounts revised in this office. The tendency and object of the law are so manifestly beneficial to the public interest by providing, in efiect, heavy pecuniary penalties for an unlawful retention ofpublic money, either from negligence, or on frivolous pretexts of claims in offset, that I considered it to be niy duty to direct the Auditors reporting to this office to add to the balance due, in accounts REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 455 prepared for suit, the commissions of delinquent officers or agentsof the United States ; and also an interest of six per cent, per annum on the balance from the time ol receiving the money. Circulars have been issued apprizing officers and other parties holding public funds of the requirements of the l a w ; and the notice that these requirements will be impartially enforced is already found to produce salutary effects. In the settlement of accounts some other requirements, deemed important to protect the public interest, have been promulgated, and are now enforced. It had become quite common for disbursing officers to report, in their accounts, large balances as due to them for funds ' turned over to other officers, for advances on account of the government, or for disbursements from thfeir private moneys on public account. It was found, in some cases, that receipts had been given by creditors of the government, when, in fact, no money had been paid; in others, that duplicate receipts for money transferred had been filed, and that there was reason to suppose that, in one case at least, a very large amount had been erroneously allowed, not by the accounting officers, but by Congress, for an alleged advance from one disbursing officer to another, both of whom were dead. In the opinion of this office, no disbursing officer of the government has a right to borrow money, br advance his own funds for disbursements or to other officers, ostensibly for the public use, unless he has been requested to do so by competent authority. If he chooses of his own motion to make such advances, he must certainly show that the money and the expenditure have inured to the benefit of the government before he can have even an equitable claim to be reimbursed by the United States. It is not believed that a legal claira against the United States can possibly arise from such unauthorized proceedings. A point analogous in principle was long since judicially decided. It was held by the court (Maryland district, Winchester, judge) in the United States ^5. Barney, that no lien could be permitted to exist against the government for advances, and that in such a case no other remedy remained for a creditor than an application to Congress for payment. (Hall's Law Journal, p. 130.) To prevent a recurrence of difficulties arising from what I cannot but consider as an irregular, dangerous, and most reprehensible practice, the most positive directions have been given that no credit shall be allowed for any balance, great or small, on account of advances by a disbursing officer, whos^ accounts are subject to the revision of this office, until the necessity of the advance and its application to the public service shall have been fully explained and demonstrated. The officers have also been reminded that it is their duty to estimate and make their requisitions in season to be placed in public funds for the official expenditures that may reasonably be expected to fall within the scope of the disbursements devolved upon them. Another subject, which has been of late years frequently before the accounting officers, has been investigated, and some disputed points adjudicated, so far as this office has authority to do so. The compensation for travel performed under orders, by officers of the army, is generally established by the regulations at a commutation of ten cents 456 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. a mile. Numerous and urgent claims have been presented, after the settlement of transporfcation accounts, for additional allowances, on the ground of ah uhder-estimate of the distance. In all such cases it has been held that payment for travel was designed only as a reimbursetnent of expenses, and that no executive officer has authority to make it simply as an emolument. It is only upon the theory that the commutation is a ready mode of reaching the probable actual expense that the commutation itself is legal; for as an emolument it would be a direct violation ofthe acts ofMarch 3, 1839, and August 23, 1842, by increasing the compensation of the officer beyond the amount authorized by Congress. When, therefore, an account for transportation has been settled, and, under the commutation principle or otherwise, a sum has been paid equal to the neceissary actual expenses, as no equitable claim could arise for more, it is held that such settlement must stand, and cannot be disturbed for the purpose of making a larger allowance under a commutation, or hypothetical amount of expenses. In another matter of importance a misconception of some of the provisions in the law of January 25, 1828, providing that no money sh all be paid to any person for his compensation who is in arrears to the United States, has heretofore created considerable embarrassment. By the proviso in that act, it is declared that ^' in all cases where the pay or salary of any person is withheld in pursuance of this act, it shall be the duty of the accounting officers, if demanded by the party, his agent or attorney, to report, forthwith, to tlie agent of the Treasury Department, the balance due ; and it shall be the du'ty ofthe said agent within sixty days thereafter to order suit to be commenced against such delinquent and his sureties." This proviso has been interpreted by parties whose pay has been, stopped for indebtedness to the United States as imposing upon the officers ofgovernment the absolute obligation to bring suit on demand of the debtor, no matter how,petty the sum,.or under what circumstances of disadvantage to the public interest a suit must be conducted. Such is not thought to be a fair construction of the law. Its main design seems to have been to prohibit to the accounting and other officers a discretion, which they had repeatedly exercised, of paying salaries to persons in default, and not to hamper the government by taking away a right it always held and exercised. The Supreme Court has decided that 'Hhe United States possess the general right to apply all sums due for such pay and emoluments to the extinguishment of any balances due fo =them." (15 Peters, 370.) This right is absolute, and exists independently of any statute upon the subject; and the officers of government have therefore felt at liberty to decline bringing suits when in their judgment it was unnecessary for, or would =tend to defeat, the ends of justice. In this view ofthe subject, the accounting officers are sustained by the head of the Treasury Department, who, under date ofMarch 3, 1856, says, in an official letter: ^^I consider the department has the election to stop officers' pay for any balances due the United States, and is not compelled to resort to suit at the instance of officers in arrears to the United States. Taking the whole law into consideration and connexion, the election in this class of cases is with the Treasury Department, and not with the officer." .REPORT ON THE FINANCES. . 457 The clerks employed in this office during the year have been punctual, diligent, and faithful, and the public business has never been more promptly and satisfactorily performed. I am, very respectfully, &c., &c., J . M. BEODHEAD, Gomptroller. Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE, Secretary ofi the Treasury. C. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Ofiiice ofi Gommissioner ofi Customs, November 8, 1856. SIR : Presuming that your letter of November last, requesting a report of the operations of this office during the preceding year, was designed to establish a permanent system of annual reports, which, should furnish, somewhat in detail, a statement ofits transactions for each year, I respectfully ask leave to submit the following exhibit: - The number of accounts of collectors of the customs, and surveyors acting as collectors, received from the First Auditor, revised and finally adjusted in this office, since the first of November last, aniounts to two thousand six hundred and forty-eight. There have been received and settled accourits from superintendents of lighthouses, agents of marine hospitals, special accounts for the erection of light-houses, beacons, and buoys, the constructibn of custom-houses and marine hospitals, and for miscellaneous objects, to the number of two thousand nine hundred and forty-two. The number of requisitions issued upon estimates furnished by the proper officers for the expenses of collecting the revenue fromcustoms, for debentures and excess of deposites, building custom-houses lighthouses, and marine hospitals, the support of light-houses, and marine hospitals, and for.miscellaneous purposes^ amoumts to two thousand five hundred and forty-one. In the execution of these duties, and in the disposal of the large amount of miscellaneous business appertaining to the office, or referred to it by the department, there have been written seven thousand ^ight hundred and ninety-two letters, all of which have been copied and recorded in the office. The great number of accounts now requidred from collectors and disbursiiig agents, owing to the frequency of the settlements, with the correspondence incident thereto, has YQTJ much increased the labors of the office, and will ciill for some additional force, to dispose of them with the care and promptitude their importance demands. "The rendition of these accounts ^punctually a-t the end ofeach moiith, and their settlement here without unnecessary delay, have very essentially contributed to the security of the public revenue, and proved, in every respect, a judicious and valuable reform. It affords me great pleasure to state that these accounts continue to be rendered with uniform punctuality, and that the more recent re 458 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. quirement subjecting disbursements and other accounts to the same rule is rapidly attaining the same regularity. The accounts of agents of marine hospitals at places where there are large expenditures have occasioned much embarrassment, and given occasion for voluminous correspondence. No labor or care has been spared to keep down these expenditures to the proper limit; and all charges that have not been satisfactorily explained have been rejected, and repeated admonitions given to the superintendents in regard to all unnecessary or unauthorized expenses. The circular about to be promulgated in relation to this subject will furnish a complete system for the government ofthese institutions, andfor the administration of the fund in places where no government institutions exist; the directions contained in the circular are so minute and comprehensive in their character, and all the duties of the superintendents are so clearly pointed out, that it is believed their faithful observance will wholly remedy the irregularities referred to.' When this system shall have been fully established, it seems to me that the regulations relating to the collection of the revenue from customs, the disbursements of agents for the expenses necessary thereto, the settlement of accounts, both of collectors and disbursing agents, the administration of the marine hospital fund, and the prompt collection of balances from officers who have gone out of office or ceased to disburse the public moneys, will be as perfect as it is possible to make them. Nothing can exceed the regularity, simplicity, and order of all the accounts relating to the customs ; and it is gratifying to be able" to state that, with one exception upon the Pacific coast, there has been no instance of defalcation, or even of improper detention of the public money, from any collector appointed since April, 1853 ; and that, in the exceptional case, the prompt and energetic measures adopted by you have probably secured the government against any considerable loss. Since the first establishment of the collection district at San Francisco, and until within the last fiscal year, the settlement ofthe accounts has been attended with great embarassment, uncertainty, and delay; the expenses were enormous, and the balances uniformly largely against the collectors. Suits have been necessarily resorted to in every instance, and large sums claimed by the United States still remain due. Since the appointment of the present collector, under new instructions issued by the deparfcment, the accounts have assumed a new shape. They are now rendered as regularly and punctually as those upon the Atlantic ; and what is still better, the expenses incident to the office have been so regulated, systematized, and reduced^, as to compare favorably with those upon the Atlantic coast. In obedience to instructions contained in your letter of November, 1853, particular care has been taken to enforce the prompt settlement of the accounts of such collectors and disbursing agents as have gone out of office or ceased to disburse the public moneys since April of that year. The number of those officers who have gone out of office, either by death, resignation, or removal, since that period is thirty-seven. Of that number, the accounts of twenty-three are finally closed, and the bal REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 459 ances paid to the United States. All the others are in course of adjustment, and none will be debtors to any considerable amount, with the exception of the late collector at San Francisco, whose accounts are now in suit, but whose official bond may not prove sufficient to cover the judgment which may be recovered against him. The transfer of the bonds of collectors of the customs and other officers from the office of the First Comptroller to this, will add something to the labor of the office, and, with the large increase of the regular business, which goes on regularly from year to year, requires additional clerical aid. I would therefore recommend that one additional clerk of the third class be added tp the force of the office. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, &c., H. J . ANDEESON. Gdmmissioner of Gustoms.

The number of letters written during the year in this division was 2,443. EIGHTH DIVISION.—COLLECTIONS. . ^ A t the commencement of the last fiscal year the balances oiiitMand30: 466 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. ing on the books of this office, as stated in my last annual report under date of November 9, 1855, were as follows: On account of arrearages prior to 1820 Charged on the current books since 1820 Total $2,856,453 77 3,127,176 80 5,983,630 57 Of the amount due on account of arrearages there was in suit and in the course of prosecution, under the direction of the Solicitor ofthe Treasury, the sum of $2,158,018 64, and of the amount charged on the current books $1,475,906 62, leaving a balance of $2,349,705 31 for collection by suit or otherwise. ' During the last fiscal year and the first quarter of the present fiscal year, ending 30th September, 1856, the balance on account of arrearages has been reduced in the sum of $47,653 60, and of the amount on the current books in the sum of $195;404 38. Twelve transcripts of accounts, exhibiting a balance of $304,127 16, were prepared, with a brief of the facts in each case, and transmitted to the Second Comptroller of the Treasury for suit. Of this amount there has been a reduction in the sum of $10,909 53, by payments and re-adjustments of the accounts. The number of letters written in this division and recorded is 1,656, and the number received and registered is 948. Quarterly reports have also been made to your department, exhibiting the names of the debtors, office or capacity in which disbursing, their residences as far as known, the date to which their accounts were last settled, and the.amount due at the end of the quarter. The business of this division, from the 1st of July, 185&, to the 30th of September, 1856, may be thus briefly stated: Total balance, June 30, 1855..... $5,983,630 57 From which deduct amount closed by settlement and payments into the treasury $243,057 98 Amount in suit and in course of prosecution, under the direction of the Solicitor of the Treasury, on account of arrearages 2,110,365 04 Of amount charged on current books.... 1,764,559 72 4,117,982 74 Balance....... .., To which add amount charged to officers during the year, reported as having ceased to disburse, and who have accounts and vouchers in process of adjustnient : Total balance outstanding ^ Of which occurred prior to 1820 1,865,647 83 79,500 55 1,945,148 38 698,434 13 Leaving of balances since 1820, and outstanding September 30, 1856 .1,246,714 25 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 467 The foregoing details of work done in the various divisions of this office compare favorably with those of former years. I t will be seen that, on the one hand, the amount of labor necessary to a discharge of the duties of the office has been gradually on the increase, while, on the other hand, the number of clerks employed has diminished' During the month of June this office was removed from the lower story of the treasury building to its present location. By this change at least one month was lost in labor of removal, re-arrangement of rooms, cases, books and papers, and the confusion inevitably resulting therefrom. I t is gra'tifying, however, to be able to state that notwithstanding the increased business and diminished force, together with the drawback attending the removal of the office, the summary of business, on the 30th September, being the close of the first quarter of the present fiscal year, shows that the labors of the clerks have kept up with the exigencies, so that no material injury has resulted to the public ser vice,, either by delay in the examination and settlement of accounts, or in discharge of any of the duties by law assigned to this office. The present working force, of the office consists of sixty-six clerks. A t t h e date of my last report there were sixty-eight employed, and during the fiscal year previous thereto there had been at one time as many as eighty-two employed. These reductions have been made by transfers to other bureaus, at various times, by the head of the department. In this connexion I beg leave to invite your attention to the fact that notwithstanding there are now only sixty-six clerks actually employed in this office, as above stated, yet it is compelled to estimate for the salaries of twenty-four clerks employed in other bureaus, whereby it is apparently charged i n t h e appropriations with $32,800 of salaries of clerks doing duty elsewhere. I t would seem but fair that each office should estimate only for the salaries of the clerks actually employed in it. During the pa^t year a number of instances have occurred/ more especially in the Quartermaster's Department, of disbursing officers rendering accounts claiming a balance to be due them by the government. This has necessarily caused mrire or less delay in their settlement, for in such cases the accounts are withheld until satisfactory explanations are received showing how the balance accrued. The withholding of the accounts from settlement and calling for explanations have, in several instances, I regret to say, produced bad feelings on the part of the officers reiidering the accounts, it being considered by them an implied impeachment, or" at least suspicion of the correctness of the account. The regulations provide that disbursing officers shall make timely estimates .to their respective chiefs of the amounts required for the public service during eaeh quarter, and thus keep themselves supplied with funds. The accounting officers consider that where circumstances render it impossible for the funds thus to be procured and, therefore, .the officer borrows, or advances from his own means, money to defray accruing expenses, and renders his account showing a balance due him, such'balance becomes a ^^claim" which they have a right and are in duty bound to investigate before acting upon it. The mere fact that the vouchers are presented, showing the application of money to the public service is not of itself conclusive ; 468 REPORT ON THE FJNA^CES> bfut explanation should be. given of the reason why such aii; advance, was i^ia.de on the credit of the. goverment and:then.ecessfty therefor. The. practice, should, as far as possible, be avoided and; discouraged. With, ample means in. the treasury, the actual necessity^ for: such advances^ will seldom occur, if officers.make use of a timely precaution ; where, however, it is. impossible in the.; nature of the case, it. should not be considered as .askin g too much., t h a t the: cir cumstances should be stated; and explained fully. A practice, at. onetime, it, is believed,, prevailed t o a considerable^ extent amongst^ disbursing officers;,, in varipus departments of the. government, of taking receipts or vouchers from- persons to.whom nioney was,due from the government, the payment to be, made; when sufficient funds.,were on hand, and in, this, way balances would, accrue,, by.the use of such vouchers., i n t h e rendition of accounts, although; the money had not been paid and therefore: no advance actually,made. But such instances cannot now occur without an express violation ofi law, it being made a' penal offence for any officer charged with the; disbursement of public inoneys .to ^^ accept or receive, or transmit to; the Treasury Department to be, allowed in his- favor, any receipt or* voucher from a creditor of the.United States,: without having paid to such creditor in such funds as the.said officer may have received for disbursement, &c., the full ainount specified in such receiptor voucher.'' . I n my last annual report 1 alluded to the fact that between the, 8th M^rch,. 1854., and the dateof the.report,.(9t.h.November, 1855,) fortyseven officers; of all grades.had.resignedtheir commissions in the army, biaving.balances, standing charged against thena on thebooksof this; office, amounting in the aggregate to $43,281 12. Since that time.• there have been,forty-five, resignations of officers of all grades, with an; aggregate balance against them of $33^068 54. I also alluded to the fact that paragraph forty-two of the.armyregulations of^ 1847 seemed, tohave in view some restrictions^with reference, to^ resignations .of officers of thC: army, but w.hich was not.clearly defined*. It would not:, seem unjust.to. make; paymeiit, or settlement of balancesidue the goterninent, as a condition precedent to the acceptance: of a resignation. Many of these charges are,, oii.. personal account for over-pay ments ou, a^cpount of transportation, commutation, or,: other allow ances, the amounts in such cases.not being: large,; an.d iu many instances the. officer resigning has no.fixed place of residence,, or if so, it is not... known t o t h e accounting offic§rs>.and. cannot, be obtained fronii.thie= office of theadjutant generaL, In.; such cases there is; a-,remedy<\whils.t:. in the S|srvice, .viz : a stoppage.; of pay, and. which can. be: resorted tor when other means fail; but after a resignation has been accepted;, nothing remains but the personal responsibility of the individual in a suit at law, which is always tedious and often unavailing. I t is but,, just, however, t h a t i should say. that generally thosa officers, responds to.the calls.made on them for settlement of their accounts promptly* In many instances=the balances, arise from the suspension, of vouchers, rendered in their accounts^ which may be passed to their: credit on necessary corrections, explanations> or proof being made* The claim of the State of California for expenses incurred in the., suppression of Indian hoatilitipS;^ withiu;: the St^^^^ to the Ist ^3E#ORT ON THE iFlNiA^icfeS. . 469 'January, 1854, which has been on file in thi^'bffice -since Augiist 10, M54, and to.which I referred in my report of 1854, is now being paid, in pursuance of the provisions of an act of Congress passed at 'the laist session. The principle adopted in the settlement of this claim, by direction of Congress, being entirely at variance with the established usages rif •the'executive departments and the action of Congress since the formation of the government, with respect to similar claims for advancei^ ^itfade by States for the use and benefit of the ^United States, or for expenses incurred by them in the suppression'of Indian hostilities within their borders, together with the magiiitude of the amount involved, has seemed to me sufficient reason to call for ^special allusion to it in my report. This principle, if once established and recognized r^'s ^a precedent for future action, will effectually take away from the gieneral government that right which it has heretofore claimed, withbut question or objection, so far as I know, to investigate and revise 'isuch claims, requiring full and satisfactory evidence, with vouchers, "showing that the amount claimed was actually expeiided for the use arid benefit o f t h e United States, or in the suppression of hostilities,-as claimed. Such was the mode pursued in the-settlement of claims preferred by the States>of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvainia, North Caroliiia, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Ehode Island, South CaTbliria,'Georgia, and Vermont, for advances raade by them duririg the war of 1812 ; of Virginia, Louisiaria, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio,Ludiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and New York, for udvances made during the Mexican tvar ; and of South Caroliria, Alabaraa, Georgia, and Florida, for expenses incurred by them d u r i n g t h e Seminole Indiari hostilities. I n the preserit case, ^Congress, in the 9th sectibn bf the act making appropriations for the^ support o f t h e army for the year ending the 30th June, 1855, provided : ^^ That the Secretary of War be, aad he is hereby, authorized and directed to examine into and ascertain the amount of expenses incurred and now actually paid by the State 'of Galifornia in the suppression bf Indian hostilities within the said State prior to the first bf January, unno Dorriirii eighteen hundred , and fifty-four, and that the amount of such expenses, when so ascfer tained, be paid into the treasury of said State: Provided, That thesum so paid shall not exceed in ambunt the^iSurii of nirie hundred arid twenty-four thousarid two hundred and fifty-nine dollars and sixtyfive cents ; which ariaount is hereby appropriated out of any moneys in the treasury riot otherwise appropriated." Accordingly, the claim of Jhe State was forwarded to the Hon. Secretary bf W a r , and by him referred to this office i n t h e usual course, on the 10th of August, 1854, but riot accompanied with vouchers or other ievidence going to shotv how 'said claim accrued, or for what purpose the money was expended, further than 'appeared by the legislation of the State authorizing the issue of bonds by the ailthorities of sai 1^ fate, bearing interest a t t h e fates of seven and twelve per cent, pei* annuria, "and certified schedules ofthe dates, numbers and amounts of the bonds issued, in pursuarieb of Said legislation. The Secretary of War nbt 'cbrisidering the 470 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. evidence furnished sufficient, no further action was had' thereon until the commissioners appointed by the State of California to superintend the settlement ofthe claina with the general government filed in the War Department an abstract of payments made on account of several expeditions against the Indians, with vouchers, rolls, &c., and which were transmitted to this office on the 15th of July, 1856, for investigation and report. It was my intention to have^the claim taken up at an early period and examined, but further investigation was precluded by section 8 of the act ^making appropriations for certain civil expenses of the government for the year ending the 30th June, 1857, passed 18th August, 1856, which provided: ' ' T h a t the Secretary of War is hereby authorized and directed to pay to the holders of the war bonds of the State of California the amount of money appropriated by act.of Congress approved May [August] fifth, eighteen hundred and fifty-four, in payment of expenses incurred and now actually paid by the State of California for the suppression of Indian hostilities within the said State, prior to the first day of January, anno Domini eighteen hundred and fifty-four, under the following restrictions and regulations: Before any bonds shall be redeemed by the Secretary of War, they shall be presented to the board of commissioners appointed by the legislature of said State by an act approved April nineteenth, eighteen hundred and fifty-six, and the amount due and payable upon each bond be endorsed thereon by said commissioners. Upon presentation to the Secretary of W a r of any bond or bonds thus endorsed, it shall be his duty to draw his warrant in favor of the holder or holders thereof for the amount certified to be due upon the same'by the said commissioners upon the Secretary of the Treasury, who is hereby directed to pay the sariie: Provided, That said amounts in the aggregate sball not exceed the amount of money appropriated by act of Congress approved August filth, eighteen hunpred and fifty-four," &c. > . By this legislation, you will observe, the issue of the bonds was made conclusive as to the fact of the ' ' expenses" having been ' ' incurred" and ''actually paid," and upon certificate of the board of commissioners that the bonds were genuine, and the amount due and payable thereon endorsed by them, payment was directed' to be made at the treasury. "^ In this connexion I beg leave to remark that large claims of a similar character are understood to have originated within the last year in prosecution of Indian wars in Oregon and Washington Territories, where the same course has been pursued of issuing " s c r i p , " to the amount, as I am informed, of several millions of dollars. The extraordinary prices which are paid for services, supplies, &c., in the prosecution of such'hostilities, and the great facility with which immense claims may be created when there is no check to'the imposed upon improvidence, so far as the general"governmei\t is concerned, not to say the opportunities that oftentimes occur under such peculiar circumstances for practising direct Irauds upon the treasury, would seem to require that such claims should in all cases be subjected to rigid investigation, and the uniform practice of the government herefore be not departed from in that respect. It is, of course, impossible REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 471 for Congress to give claims of this description the close scrutiny and thorough investigation which they require. But the substitution of thisnew mode of determining the amount, viz: by the gross amount of " b o n d s " issued, without reference to whether the amount actually applied to the public service was twenty or fifty or more per cent, on the principal sum, is calculated to stimulate extravagance and lead .to alarming abuses, whilst the benefits go not into the pockets of those who furnished the supplies or rendered the service, but of capitalists and speculators, who are always ready, on such occasions, to take advantage of the necessities ofthe needy and the circumstances of the time. I t is not intended in anything which I have said in this report to impeach the correctness ofthe claim preferred by the State of California, my object being solely to invite attention to the fact that the mode of settlement adopted in this case has been entirely differerit from that uniforrialy observed heretofore. Up to this date bonds to the amount of $765,870 have been filed and reported for paymentj of which the sum of $97,370 is for interest accrued up to 1st January, 1854. There is a class of claims for horses lost in the military service of the United States, that have been recently coming into the office, under the act of March 3, 1849, to which I invite attention. They are by volunteers engaged in the Eogue river Indian war in Oregon in 1853, and in the suppression of Indian hostilities in California subsequent to the termination of the Mexican war, and prior to the 1st of January, 1854. The volunteers first named, besides the highest rate of pay known to the law, received four dollars per day for the use and risk of their horses until such period as the allowance reached double the appraised value of the horse. The California volunteers were paid five dbllars per day for the service of each private, and one dollar per day for each horse, making the extravagant and hitherto unheard of annual compensation of each private mounted volunteer two thousand one hundred and ninety dollars, besides subsistence, forage, clothing, and transportation. The pay of officers was equally enormous. Majors ten to fifteen dollars per day; quartermasters, commissaries, surgeons, adjutants, and captains, eight to twelve dollars per day ; lieutenants six to ten, and sergeants five to seven dollars per day, with subsistence, forage, and all dther allowances. I can scarcely believe that volunteers who havg. been paid these extraordinary rates are entitled to the beneficiary provisions of acts of Congress intended for volunteers who received only ninety-six dollars per annum for their persona] services, and one hundred-and forty-six dollars per annum for the use and risk of their horses. None of the claims have yet been allowed. W i t h great respect, your obedient servant, EOBEET J . ATKINSON, Auditor. Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE, SecretaryoftheTreasury. 47^2 REPORT ON THE IFI^NANCES. • G. .TREASURY DEPARTBIENT, Fourih Auditor's Office;, November ^, W>5&. SIR: I have the honor to submit to you the required report ofthe operations and condition of this office during the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June last. The number of principal accounts settled was oue thousand and fifty-one. Many ofthese were-rendered by disbursing officers, iand included the accounts of officers' and .men, each of which had to be separately examined-and calculated, to the mumber of jsixty^nine thousand and sixty-three. The;amount involved in the-accounts settled was $15,362,880 06. The reduction made duririg, the year in the balances reported to the department on the 18th of October, 1853, as standing on the books of this office, was $969,302 82, Five thousand three huudred and fifteen letters were received and registered in the course of the year, and five thousand three hundred and seventy-two were written and recorded. Eleven hundred and .thirtyrthree requisitions, and one thousand and fifty allotments of pay were registered. A l l t h e accounts stated and returned, after revision b y t h e Second Comptroller, were journalized and posted. Four thousand nine hundred arid riinety-three applications for bounty land, under the act of March .3.5.1855,) were received from the Gommissioner of Pensions, and after the requisite search were returned to him, with a certificate of the service performed by the applicants. As the names of these persons are scattered through the^^rolls of many years, made up without regard to alphabetical order, some of which contain the names of more than a thousand men each, and as it is frequently necessary to trace the irien from roll to roll, in consequence of transfers from one ship to another, the examinatibn is very arduous and unavoidably corisuriaes a great deal of time. By a resolution of the House of Eepresentatives, passed in 1848, the: Secretary ofthe Navy is required to transmit to that House, annually, " a transcript ofthe official navy lists, in such form as to affix, opposite the name of each person contained therein, in -separate :Columais, the annual pay of such officer or person.; the amount paid him for rations, servants, and forage, and the gross amount paid or allowed him in all respects, for and on his account, for and during the preceding year." The statement thus called for is made out at this office, and beiug compiled from an immense number of rolls and accounts, the preparation of it employs the whole time of one of the clerks for at least three months. The disbursing officers of the Iiavy,, resident in this country, have been very punctual in the transmission of their accounts within the time prescribed by law. There has always been some irregularity on the part of those abroad ; but this is generally attributable to their distance from home, and the apprehension of voucher's being lost. The business of this officeis in good condition, and is not in arrear. There are some accounts, which have been recently rendered, that have REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 473 not yet been taken up for examination ; but they can all be settled in afew weeks. I. have the^ honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " ' • A. 0 . DAYTON. Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE, Secretary ofthe Treasury. H. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Fifith Auditor's Ofiiice, November l ^ , l ^ h & . SIR : In compliance with the request contained in your letter of the 16th October, 1855, I have the honor to submit the following report as to the character and present condition of the business of this office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1856. The accounts adjusted in this office are those of the United States bankers in London, our foreign ministers and secretaries of legation, consuls general, consuls, vice consuls and commercial agents ; of the disbursing agent of the Department of State, General Post Office, Census Bureau, and Commissioner of Patents ; of the various members of the commission for running and marking the boundary line between the United States and Mexico; the awards of eommissibners under treaties with foreign governments, and awards of commissioners under special acts of Congress ; of the owners of vessels for the passage of destitute or criminal seamen, and of the estates of citizens who have died abroad. Of these accounts, with a force of seven clerks, one thousand and seventy-two have been adjusted, and the ref)ort8 copied into a record-book, and to each minister a full copy of the " s t a t e m e n t " of his account has been sent. There have also been written, in relation to the business of the office, eleven hundred and thirty-three letters. The accounts for consuls' salary and fees, growing out ofthe law for "remodeling the diplomaitic and consular syst e m , " has largely augmented the labor of this bffice. Some corifusibn and delay have occurred in the settlement of consuls' accounts, and the paiyment of their drafts, incident tb organizing a new system.. The instructibns for carrying ^out the law were not receiv-ed fey many consuls in time to make up their accounts, according to the prescribed forms. The instructions, under the ariaended law, now being prepared with great care in the State Department, will probably remedy all the difficulties that have been experienced by the consuls in the preparation of their accounts, and the adjustment of them in this office. A further increase of the labor o f t h e office has arisen from the more frequent settlement of accounts. It was the usage ^of the office to adjust the accounts of miriisters jand •salaried eonsuls •annually.; they are now adjusted quarterly. Sometimes a minister iucurs contingent expenses which ;the Secretary of State does not deem Iiecessary for the public interest; by a prompt -.adjustment ;of Ms acount he is saved from a further loss. Not unfrequently .the consul sends imperfect vouchers. Unless rhis accounts^are ^a;t lonee examined 474 ^ REPORT ON THE FINANCES. and adjusted, he may be unable to perfect his vouchers, and he must lose the amount, unless, to relieve him, the accounting officers relax their well-considered rules. Experience shows that the more frequent the settlement between the treasury and the distant agent of the government the better for both parties. During the year the current work of the office has been kept up and many suspended accounts finally closed ; and I am happy to state that every employe has performed the duties assigned to him in a prompt and creditable manner. I have the honor to be, sir, naost respectfully, your obedient servant, M. M.cCOl^'NEL, Auditor. Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE, Secretary ofi the Treasury. ' I. ' . AUDITOR'S OFFFICE, POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, November 15, 1856. SIR : In compliance with your request of the 26th ult., I have the honor to submit the following report, exhibiting the operations of this office during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1856, together with a general outline of its principal duties, the character and attendance of its officer.s, and the present condition of its business. EXAMINERS' DIVISION. This division is first in the order of arrangement, as it receives from the department the quarterly accounts of postmasters, examines them, adjusts the commissions and emoluments, and ascertains the true balance ; thus preparing the basis for the labors of the other branches of the office. The following number of accounts was examined during the fiscal year, viz : . For the quarter ending September 30, 1855..... 24,153 For the quarterending December 31, 1855 24,393 For t h e quarter ending March 31, 1856 24,389 For the quarter ending June 30, 1856.. 25,100 98,035 In 13,824 of which errors were discovered, each increasing the balance due to the United States more than fifty cents. Accurate copies of these (13,824) accounts aS rendered by postmasters, and as audited by this office, have been prepared and furnished to the postmasters by whom the errors were committed, accompanied by such instructions as would enable them to guard against errors in future. Postal accounts with Great Britain, Prussia, Bremen, and other REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 475 foreign governments, are adjusted by a clerk in this diyision, who also disburses the " salary and contingent funds" of the office. With a view of testing the accuracy of postmasters in transcribing on their " transcripts" rendered to the department, the entries of postage from the " post hillis" accompanying the letters for delivery and distribution, on which they collect postage or receive commission, I have caused the " t r a n s c r i p t s " and " post bills" to be compared ; and this plan; will doubtless protect t h e , depar tment from losses arising from inaccuracy or fraud. The examination *of the quarterly accounts of postmasters has invariably been completed within ninety-five days subsequent to the expiration of the quarter for which they were rendered. EEGISTERS' DIVISION. This division is next in order, as the registers receive daily, as rapidly as they are examined, the accounts that have been adjusted by the examiners ; analyze and enter in suitable books all the items embraced in each account, under the proper head of appropriation, and record the various incidental expenses of postmasters ; and the fact that each account furnishes an average of fourteen items for entry, that the aggregates of these entries are ascertained and the results proved quarterly, and that 98,035 accounts have been thus registered during the year, is a sufficient guarantee that the nine clerks of the divisiori have labored faithfully and diligently in the performance of their duties. • BOOK-KEEPERS' DIVISION. This division has received the registers, within twenty days after the expiration of the quarter in which the accounts were rendered ; and the balances ascertained have been entered in the legers within the quarter. ^ The current legers are forty-one in number, o f " imperial" size, and contain all the accounts pertaining to the department, about 46,551 in.number. The postings, embracing entries of balances, warrants, drafts, collections, &c., have been completed and examined within the period prescribed .by regulation. PAY DIVISION. This division has audited and paid, quarterly, 5,293 accounts of contractors^ within the period fixed by their contracts, in all cases in which the proper data for settlement could be obtained by this office.. The duties of this division are not simply wbat its title implies, as it also collects a large portion of the revenues o f t h e department, by means of " collection orders" sent by the pay clerks to contractors, in time to enable them to present them' for payment at the close of each fiscal quarter. These " o r d e r s " call for payment of all funds belonging to the department in the hands of postmasters on whom they are ssued ; 71,547 of these orders were sent out during the year,and the 476 . REPORT ON THE fV[NAj^G^.s, departmentrealized,*in the payment of its contractors, $1,014,054 80 of its revenues, three months in advance of the adjustment by this by =this office of the accounts on which payments were made ; at the same time relieving the postmasters of the custody of the funds, the risk of loss by fire or robbery, or the inconvenience of transporting them to some dista/xt depository ; and removing the temptation to misapply the fgovernment money to their private uses. It is, also, a great accommodation to the contractor, as he thus receives about 60 per cent, of his .compensation immediately after the termination of his services for each fiscal quarter, some two months prior to t h e period fixed.by his contract for .payment by rthis offiee. COLLECTING DIVISION. I t is the duty of this divisibn to collect by issuing drafts, or the institution of suit, all sums due to the departmeut by delinquentpostmasters, late postmasters., contractors, failing bidders, and others; to conduct the correspondence growing eut of efforts to collect, and to furnish the necessary papers and instructions to United States district attorneys and marshals. The following number and classes of accounts were in charge of the division during the last fiscal year, viz : Of accounts prior to June 30, 1855... 11,547 Of -accounts of persons whose term of office expired within the year •.... 6,423 Arid of present'postmasters......\... 25,565 Total 43,535 Statements of these accounts have been carefully transcribed from the ledgers, properly endorsed, and arranged alphabetically, geographically, and chronologically; so that rio diffieulty can arise in obtaining promptly, from the files of the office, any account or paper that may be required. 4,90'5 "eoilection drafts" have been issued ; and =$58,974 94 collected of delinquerit postmasters, who had failed to pay the proceeds of their offices, in accordance with the instructions of the department. The correspondence of-the division covers 1,705 folio-post pages ; in addition to which, 10,836 circular letters have been issued, the large number of analogous cases enabling me to reduce thelabor materially by the use of printed letters. 69 suits were instituted during the year, 26 judgments obtained thereon ; $9,-609 59 collected, and 40 accounts closed. The balance due to the United States by late postmasters, on June 30, 1855, notin suit, amounted to $113,655 44; of which there was apparently due $33,495 09 by late postmasters in Caiifornia and Oregon, which should be deducted, as the amount is eovered by vouchers, under the provisions of the 4th and 5th sections of an' act approved July 27, 1854;. leaving due to the United States, by late postmasters in the Atlaritic States, $80,160 35. Of this suria there has been collected #62,011 44 ; and of the surn $124,094 98, due by late postm-asteTS of the last fiscal year, $55,887 64 has been collected. REPORT ON THE FINANCES; 477 The method pursued fbr the collection of balances due to the department by late postmasters is both simple and effective, and may not be uninteresting. As soon after a postmaster's term of office expires as the sum due to the United States can be ascertained, i. e. within the ensuing quarter, drafts are issued in favor of the postmaster at some convenient offices, (or at the same offices if the funds can be used by the department,) for collection of all sums exceeding $10. The parties are promptly furnished with statements of their accounts, and explanations of any differences between them and this office ; and in case of failure to pay the demand; or present adequate ground for abatement, within 3.0 days, the nameS; of the sureties are furnished^, with instructions to demand payment of them. The. balances, under $10 are presented for collection,, after: all the p.ostings have been made in the legers, for the quarter in which; the. persou indebted became late postmaster ; and in all cases, the demand is urged upon the defaulting principal and his sureties, with, a prospect.of ciyil suit upon, the bond, and, in extreme cases, criminal prosecution, under the provisions o f t h e . " independerit treasury act," ins.te.ad of resorting to compulsory measures upon the first refusal to. pay-their indebtedness^ This course is also recommended by the:.fact- thati it is much less op^ pr^ssive to the sureties, as they are thereby enabled to pay the defalcation of their principal, when, necessary, witho.ut the. annoyance of suitand the payment of costs and interest. Its efficiericyas fully attested by: the foregoing results. MISCELLA-UEOUS DIVISION:^. This division adjusts and enters all creditSc for sums paid to special mail contractors and mail messengers •; examines and pays all balances due to late postmasters, special agents, contractors for furnishing blanks, &c. ; records all drafts ar^i warrants issued by.the.Postmaster General; enters all sums deposited iri the treasury to the credit of the department; and records, envelops, and directs-all official letters, together with a variety of other duties sufficiently indicated by-its title. The principal labor of this division may be thus presented, viz: The number of accounts of special contractors adjusted, quarterly, during the year, was The number of accounts of mail messengers The number of warrants entered during the year The number of drafts entered during t h e y e a r The number of folio-post pages recorded The number of miscellaneous accounts paid ..., The num ber of balances due late postmasters paid 3,134 1,302 6,840 10,080 2,661 660 1,679 It was the impression of the advocates of compulsory prepayment of letter postage by "postage stamps" that it would simplify and diminish the labors of this office very much ; b u t t h e experience of two fiscal quarters has shown that, notwithstanding the peremptory instructioris of the Postmaster General in'regard to affixing postage stamps upon all domes'tic letters before mailing them, postage amount 478 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. ing to $511,717 89 has been '^paidin money," so that the original number of columns i n t h e "transcript of mails sent and receiyed" is still required, and the reduced labor in the addition of " postage unpaid" and " p a i d in money," is more than counterbalanced b y t h e increased number and magnitude of the account presented for adjustment ; hence the necessity for an increase of five in the clerical force of this office, indicated in my last annual report, is more urgent than it was at that date. The immense amount of labor performed by this office during the last fiscal year is partially presented by the following summary, viz: The number of quarterly accounts of postmasters adjusted and audited was The number of accounts o n t h e current legers The number of quarterly accounts of contractors audited and paid The number of special contractors and mail messenger accounts settled The number of payments made to special and route agents.. The number of miscellaneous accounts paid...... The number of "collection orders" issued The number of "collection drafts" issued The number.of department drafts registered The number of department warrants registered The number ofletters received....o The number of letters sent The number of folio-post'pages of manuscript letters sent..., 98,035 46,551 21,174 17,744 3,495 660 71,547 4,905 10,080 6,840 122,459 64,715 2,661 Accurate copies of 13,824 accounts current, as rendered by postmasters, and as audited, have been furnished in cases in which errors were committed against the department, and a vast variety of bther labor performed, which, if presented in detail, would greatly exceed any estimate yet made, and fully establish, for the gentlemen employed in this office, a reputation for capacity and industry in the performance of their respective public duties rarely equalled, and never excelled. , Eespectfully submitted, WM.

This class includes 209 suits on warehouse transportation bonds; also suits brought by importers against collectors of the customs to recover alleged excess of duties paid under protest, and defended under instructions frqm the department; and 29 suits given in charge of the office by heads of departments, under the orders of the President of July 16, 1855—maldng up an aggregate of 747 suits brought to recover the sum of $1,271,040 35, in addition to th^ amount involved in cases in rem. • Of the suits thus brought, 335 have been decided, and finally disposed of, as follows, viz : 112 tried and decided in favor of the United States, 24 tried and decided agaiiist the United States, and 199 settled and dismissed before trial; leaving 412 still pending. I t will also appear, from the tables, that 243 suits, brought previous to the commencement ofthe fiscal year, have been finally disposed of, as follows, viz: 95 tried and decided in favor ofthe United States, 75 decided against the United States, and 73 settled and dismissed before t r i a l ; and there remain pending 393 suits brought previous to the present fiscal year.

TEEASURY OF THE UMTED STATES, November—, 1856. SIR: In compliance with your instructions, I have the honor to submit the following summary of the business of thic office during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1856: The amount covered into the treasury during the year, on 4,466 warrants, was— * "Zfi^.

The amount received at the several offices of the Treasury, for the use of the Post Office Department, was... $4,459,185 73 And the amount of 6,840 post office warrants drawn thereon , 4,396,513 11 Balance to the credit ofthe department at theclose of the fiscal year. ..c............ 577,158 79 For the purpose of facilitating disbursements, and for the greater security ofpublic moneys collected at remote points, not provided with ample securities for safe keeping, and also to promote the operation of coining, the sum of $38,088,113 92, composed of coin and bullion, has been moved during the year. This operation has been efiected, as a matter of account, by 737 transfer drafts, issued singly, and 646 issued in duplicate; and, as a matter of fact, in part by actual transportation, and in the other part by using transfer drafts in sums suitable to and supplying the wants of the business community, so far as they came, within the range oi our own convenience or requirements. The arrangemenjts introduced by you, as a legitimate consequence ofthe independent treasury act, (though not specifically provided for by it,) which require the treasurer and the other depositaries of public moneys to open accounts with disbursing officers, and to receive and pay out for them moneys advanced to them from the treasury, have operated, so far, to the entire satisfaction of all parties concerned, and have affbrded ample security and facility for carrying out these responsible duties. This branch of business, however, being entirely an additiqn fo the ordinary transactions of the treasury proper, involves a great deal of labor and responsibility upon those treasury officers who are required to carry it on. In tbis office alone the receipts from all sources on treasury account proper, during the year, amounted to $8,041,975 40. One thousand two hundred and ninety-three drafts have been satisfied, either by payment in coin or by being entered to the credit of disbursingofficers. Accounts have been kept with seventy-five dis- 484 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. bursing officers, whose credits have been drawn upon and paid to the amount of $6,695,410 56 on 17,003 checks. The sum of $4,544,129 44 has been transferred during the year from the assistant treasurer at New York to this office, by means of 2,079 checks given in exchange for coin previously placed in my pos•session, and drawn on amounts placed to my credit by the assistant treasurer in satisfaction of transfer drafts and of drafts in my favor as •agent for paying the compensation of the members of the House of Eepresentatives. These operations, it is evident, have afforded favorable and very acceptable accommodation to our business community, while, at the same time, they have relieved the department from the onus of transr porting that amount of specie which it would otherwise have been compelled to encounter. I am happy to add, in conclusion, that all branches-of business in i h e office proper, and in the special money department, have been oonducted with highly commendable promptness and accuracy, and, .^s I believe, to the entire satisfaction of all persons who have had any 'business transactions with the office. Respectfully, SAMUEL CASEY, Treasurer United States. Hon. JAMES G-UTHRIE, ^ Secretary ofi the Treasury. L. REGISTER'S OFFICE, Novemher 22, 1856 SIR : In accordance with your request, I have the honor to submit the following partial summary of the business operations of this office during the fiscal year ending 30th June last, and its present condition. The same order, as to the division of labor, indicated in my report of November 22, 1855, has been continued, and may be enumerated as follows : , First. That pertaining to the receipts and expenditures of the United 'States; Second. That to the public debt and loans ; Third. To commerce and navigation ; and Fourth. To the tonnage, registered and enrolled, ofthe United States. As to the business in th^ first division, its details, &c., I respectfully refer the Secretary to my report of last year. In this branch the business'has increased i n t h e year ending 30th J u n e last considerably beyond that of the preceding year, as willbe seen by the following comparative statement: T h e number of treasury expenditure warrants issued during the year ending June 30, 1856 10,784 I n the year ending June 30, 1855 , 8,625 I n the year ending June 30,1845 3,493 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 485 It will be perceived that the number of warrants issued in 1856 was 25 per cent, more than in 1855, and more than 300 per cent, greater than in 1845. The mode of paying consuls has added greatly to the labor of this branch, and the increase of warrants has added much to the labor of all the clerks connected with this division. The delay in the completion of the printing of these statistics, for last year, will greatly retard their compilatibn for this, as it is neces-, sary to refer to the statistics of the former year. Being in the hands of the printer, we cannot refer to them ; and to collate them from the various sources from whence originally made up, would be to perform the work of last year oyer again. In the loan division there has been no material change since my last report, though the business has in various ways considerably increased: The stock transactions have consisted chiefly iu the redemption of the several loans, the aggregate amount of which has been reduced over eleven and three-quarter millions within the year. The recent plan of settling accounts throws much responsibility upon this office, as the monthly abstracts of dividends paid by the different government agents are referred to me by the First Auditor for,comparison, and, upon my certificate of correctness, and that the items had not been paid before, are audited and settled. This process enables me to check, on the books of this office, the dividends that are paid, and, after each monthly settlement, tell the amount, to whom, and where dividends are still due. The coupons paid during each month are regularly repoted, certified, cancelled, and numerically arranged. I n the division pertaining to commerce and navigation, the business has largely increased, as will be indicated by the increased size of the forthcoming volume pertaining to these statistics. The general statements of exports and imports, by far the largest portion of the work, have been doubled in order to show, in detail, ~not only the countries to which exports are sent, and from whence imports are. received, but also , the several districts of the United States into which these imports ^enter, and from whence the exports depart. Two additional tables have also been added to those showing the arrival and departure of vessels—one exhibiting the, districts from whence they clear, and the countries of their destination ; and the other the countries from whence they arrive, and the districts into which they enter. The statement of indirect trade has also been essentially modified and enlarged so as to embrace not only the states comprising the German Zoll-Terien, Austria, and Switzerland, but also all countries the products and manufactures of which reach the United States througli ports other than their own. Notwithstanding this large addition to the duties of this division, and the increase consequent upon the rapid growth and expansion of the country, the whole labor has been performed by the same clerks without aid or assistance, but not without compelling me to require 486 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. some of them to perform extra labor beyond the usual hours assigned to official duty. The statistics for this report were sent up on the 7th instant. In the division having charge ofthe tonnage statistics, a large amount of additional labor has devolved upon the clerks in an attempt to correct the tonnage of the United States so as to present something like the true amount. In my report of last year, the amount as shown from the returns was 5,212,001.15, This showed, evidently, too great a tonnage, as it placed us far ahead of any other nation on the globe. To correct it, and, if possible, give as near the true amount as the data to be found at the various ports would furnish, I sent in. structions to the several collectors to forward lists of vessels belonging to their respective districts, with their quarterly accounts, and to credit aU vessels lost at sea, sold, &c., not heretofore credited. These corrected lists reduce the tonnage to 4,871,652.46, which is very nearly the true amount of the present tonnage. Should this plan be followed up each succeeding year, these statistics will be of a more reliable character than heretofore. ^ These corrections cost much additional labor, and if continued, will throw an additional amount each year upon this branch. In this as well as every other division of my office, the business has been promptly and faithfully attended to by the clerical force allotted me. Frequent calls are made upon this bureau for transcripts of papers on file, connected with transactions which have become the subject of litigation or controversy, or required for other purposes by this and other departments, members of Congress, committees of Congress, &c., &c., the copying of which frequently would require the labor of one clerk for a month or six weeks ; but as they are often wanted in a few days, I am compelled to take a number of the clerks away from their regular duties. Thus is the routine of business interrupted and retarded ; and in order to bring it up toits proper point again, necessity compels me to make unreasonable demands upon the clerks, requiring them to return to the office and resume their labor after the usual_ time of arljournment. An addition to my force of three clerks would enable me to obviate, in a great degree, this difficulty. By a systematic division of the labor, and an observance of office hours only, the business of this office could not be kept up. The fitst has been attempted ; but without going beyond the latter, would fail most signally in accomplishing the end. I would, therefore, most respectfully suggest, whether Congress should, by disregarding^ your recommendation for additional clerks, as was the case last year, make it necessary to continue the imposition of greater 'burdens upon these agents of government than are consistent with a reasonable diligence or healthy application to duty. In 1845 the business of this bureau required the service of twentythree clerks ; now there are twenty-nine. Since that time the labor has increased at least two hundred per cent. This simple statement, for the truth of which I beg leave to refer to my letter of November 2-2,1855, published in your report of that year on the finances, it se.ems to me, should be argument sufficient in favor of granting an increase to my clerical force. ^ RE-PORT ON THE FIN'AN.CEiS., 487 The duties of the clerksin this bureau are as onerous, requiring as much ability, and as intense application, as in any other department of the government} yet, in the General Land Office there arefiveof class four ; in the Pension, four of the same class ; in the Indian Bureau, three; and in this, but one. If my first proposition be true, this state of affairs cannot exist without manifest injustice. Pernait me, therefore, to suggest that the classification of the clerks be so changed as to allow two more of class four,,and four of class three. Gongress, at its recent sitting, having provided no more than a fair compensation for its members, it is to be hoped will not hesitate to render simple justice to the poor clerk, whose onerous duties require a constant and diligent. attention, scarcely allowing him, during the whole course of the year, the respite of a single day. This can be effected by an increase of salary corresponding to that allowed to the other departments, and an. augmentation of force sufficient to reduce his labor to a reasonable standard. In conclusion, allow me~ to state that the "business in each division has been kept up to the extent of the abilities of my force, and that there has been no lagging at any ofthe desks inthe discharge of duty; but I am fearful that delays in other quarters, some of which have been alluded to, will postpone the completion of the statistics on finance.beyond. the time at which they were furnished by this office last year. To expedite their completion every means in my power shall be used. I am sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, F. BIGGER. Hon.
