For the current fiscal year, from the foregoing account of actual
receipts and expenditures for the first quarter, and of the estiniates of
the same for the remaining three quarters, the estimates being based
on the assumption that Congress will not increase the expenditures by
deficiency or other appropriations, it is expected that the revenues will
amount to $284,318,285 99, and that the ordinary expenses will be
$275,315,489 425 which wiU leave a surplus revenue of $9,002,796 57
to be applied to the sinking fund.
The sum of $31,096,545 will be required under the law for this fund,
and, therefore, unless the revenues shall increase beyond the amount
anticipated, there will be a deficiency in the sinking-fund account for
this year of $22,093,748 43.

If these estiniates of the revenues and expenditures shall prove to
be approximately correct, there will be a surplus of revenue of about
$20,222,000. The amount necessary for the sinking fund is not
included in the above estimates of expenditures, and to provide for it
the sum of $32,140,914 will be required. The surplus revenues which
can be applied to this fund ($20,220,000) wiir be insufficient to the
extent of $11,920,914, and there will therefore be a deficiency of that
amount.

REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E

REDUCTION OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.
During the fiscal year the public debt was reduced by the sum oi
$5,762,447 65, as will appear by the following statement:

By the monthly statement ofthe public debt issued June 30,1874, the
reduction of the debt was shown to be $4^730,472 41. The difference
between this and the preceding statement is thus explained:
The monthly debt statement is made up at the close of business on
the day of its date, and embraces only the moneys officially reported
tp the Department at the time of its issue, whereas the foregoing
annual statement of receipts and expenditures includes revenues
which were deposited at the different places of deposit throughout the
country within the period covered by the accounts, and unascertained at
the time of the issue of the monthly statement. The books from which
the annual statement of receipts and expenditures is prepared are
usually kept open for a period of forty-five days, so as to include at the
date of closing the accounts all the revenues which may have been
deposited within the year which the statement represents.
. - The difference between these two statements arises from the difference
of dates^at which they are made up, and by a comparison of them as
regards the cash in the Treasury at the commencement and close of
RfEPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
IX
the last fiscal year, it will be seen that by the annual statement of
receipts and expenditures there was a gain of $1,031,975 24, representing revenues in excess of those known at the time of preparing the
monthly statement, which, added to it, or deducted from the annual
statement of receipts and expenditures, will show that no difference
exists, except in the manner of their preparation.
The tables accompanying this report furnish details of the foregoing
statements and accounts.
REFUNDING THE NATIONAL DEBT.
On assuming charge of this Department, June 3,1874, the Secretary
lound the balance of the five per cent, loan authorized h j the acts of
July 14,1870, and January 20, 1871, then unissued, to be $178,548,300.
During the month of June proposals were received from several
parties desiring to negotiate these bonds, but they were not deemed
satisfactory, and were consequently declined«
On the second day of July a circular was issued by the Secretary,
inviting proposals, and in response thereto bids from various parties,
at home and abroad, were received, the aggregate amount of which
was $75j933,550. Of this amount, $20,933,550 comprised the domestic
bids, and $55,000,000 the joint proposal of Messrs. K M. Eothschild
& Sons, of London, and Messrs. J. and W. Seligman & Co., of 'New
York. The domestic bids at par and above, which were accepted by
the Department, aggregated $10,113,550, and those at less, than par,
which were rejected, amounted to $10,820,000.
The proposal for $55,000,000 excluded the acceptance of ail other bids,
and provided that the parties should purchase ten million on or before
August 1, 1874, and the remaining $45,000,000 at their pleasure, in
several successive instalments, prior to February 1,1875, also that they
should have the option of the entire balance of the five per cent, loan,
$122,688,550, until the expiration of six months from January 31,1875,
and that the Secretary should keep an agent in London to deliver new
fives and receive payment therefor. This proposition was modified,
and on the 28th day of July a contract was entered into between the
Secretary and Messrs. August Belmont & Co., of JSTew York, on behalf
of Messrs. K M. Eothschild & Sons, of London, England, and associates, and Messrs. J. and W. Seligman & Co., of New York, for
themselves and associates, for the negotiation of $45,000,000 of the
five per cent, bonds, the contracting parties having deposited with the
United States Treasury two per cent, of the amouut subscribed for, as
a guarantee for the fulfilment of their agreement.
X
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
The conditions o f t h e contract are substantially as follows: The
contracting parties to have the option of the balance of the loan, viz:
$122,688,550, until January 31, 1875; to be allowed one-quarter of one
per cent, commission u]ion the amount taken* they agreeing to subscribe for fifteen millions of the before-mentioned amount—$45,000,000—
on the first day of August, 1874, and to subscribe for the remaining
aniount—$30,000,000—at their pleasure, in amounts of not less than
five millions each, prior to the thirty-first day of Januaiy, 1875. The
contract also allows the parties the exclusive right to subscribe for the
remainder or any portion of the five per cent, bonds authorizedliy the
acts of Congress aforesaid, by giving notice thereof to the Secretary
of the Treasury prior to January 31, 1875.
The agreement, on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury, with
the parties before mentioned, is to issue calls of even dates with their
subscriptions for the redemption of an equivalent amount of six per
cent, five-twenty bonds, as provided by the act of July 14, 1870. , The
subscribers agree to pay for said five per cent, bonds, par and interest
accrued to the date of maturity of each call, in gold coin. United States
coin coupons, or any of the six per cent, five-twenty bonds called for
redemption; they also agree, to defray all expenses incurred in sending
bonds to London, upon their request, and in transmitting bonds, coin
United States coupons, or gold coin, to the Treasury Department at
Washington, D. C.
On account of the subscriptions of Messrs. Eothschild and Seligman,
and their associates, and those of home subscribers; calls for six per
cent, five-twenty bonds of the loan of February 25, 1862, have been
made as follows:
August 1, 1874
.......;
$25, 000, 000
September 1, 1874
15, 000, 000
October 1, 1874
'.
10, 000, 000
. November 2, 1874
5,000,000
55,000,000
The excess of subscriptions over calls—viz: $113,550—has been
provided for by uncalled bonds which have been received by the
Department in payment for that amount.
The larger portion of the bonds subscribed for has thus far been
negotiated in Europe, where exchanges are still being made.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY-MENT.
So much has been spoken and written within the last decade, and
especially at the last session of Congress, on the financial questions re-
o

iating to and growing out of our currency system, that further extended
discussion of the vSubject at this time would scarcely seem to be necessary. The opinions entertained and expressed by public men and communities of people, as well as the sense of Congress as heretofore indicated by the votes of the two houses, must be accepted as one of the
factors of the financial problem. Nevertheless the great and paramount importance of arriving at an ultimate solution of the matter
and of restoring to the Government and the people a sound and stable
currency, induces the Secretary to bring the subject again to the attention of Congress, and to ask that decisive sfeps be now taken by
the law-making power for return tb a specie basis.
To attempt an enumeration of the comxilicated mischiefs which flow
from an unstable or inconvertible currency would OSLTTJ this report to
inexcusable length, and, after all, would be but a repetition of what
has been often said. No nation can long neglect the wholesome maxims,
founded uxion universal experience, that uphold xiublic credit without
suffering financial disturbances and bringing serious consequences
upon its people. It will not be denied that the existing issue of legaltender notes, as a circulating medium, would never have been made
except in the great emergency of a war involving no less an issue than
the xireservation of the nation. Whether the argument in support of
the validity of the legal-tender acts be rested upon the war powers
conferred on the Government by the Constitution or on other xirovisions of that instrument, it is clear that Congress could not have been
induced to x^ass such acts under au}^ other circumstances than in a time
of the most xiressing and urgent iieed, such as a state of war only
produces. The most earnest defenders of the xiower to issue Government obligations, and make them by law legal tender for all debts,
Xiublic and xirivate, would scarcely be found to advocate the exercise
of the power except under circunistances of extreme necessity, and
then only for the time of the emergency; and there is abundant evidence in the debates and xiroceedings of Congress, and in the statutes
themselves, that it was not intended to make the legal-tender notes the
pernianent currency of the country. The acts authorizing the issue of
such notes provided for their conversion into bonds of the United
States bearing interest at the rate of six per centum x^er annum.
The act of March 18, 1869, in terms declares that ^'the faith of the
United States, is solemnly x^ledged to the payment in coin or its
equivalent of all obligations of the United States not bearing interest,
known as United States notes." The same act further, affirms that
^Hhe United States solemnly pledges its faith to ma;ke provision at the
XII
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
earliest xiracticable period for the redemption of the United States
notes in coin."
The xiurpose of the act is well expressed in its title, whitjh declares
it to be " A n act to strengthen the public credit;" and that such was
the effect of the act cannot be doubted, for it is an unconditional assurance on the part of the Government, not only that its notes shall
be paid in coin, but that this shall be done at the earliest practicable
period. The faith of the Government could not be more clearly or absolutel}^ pledged than is done by this act of Congress, to say nothing
of previous legislation.
The length of time that has now elapsed since the final. overthrow
of the rebellion, as well as proper regard for the faith of the nation,
admonish us that initiatoiy steps towards the redemption of its
pledges ought not to be longer postponed. It is not unworthy of remark that the era of the war will not be Qlosed until the period of redemxition shall have been reached.
I t is sometimes urged by the advocates of a continuance of our xiapei
circulation that, its aniount being now definitely fixed by law, it is not
liable to the fluctuations in volume which attach to a currency that
may be increased or diminished at the will of the Secretary; but this
suggestion leaves out of view entirely the fact that it is of little consequence where the power to change the volume of currency rests, the
difference being only in the degree of probability of its use. The existence ofthe power at all, and the apxareh ension of its being called
into exercise, is the evil from which mischievous consequences are
likely to flow. The quality of flexibility governed by the law of trade
and commerce, and which regulates the increase or diminution of the
volume of the circulating medium according to the requirements of
legitimate business, is of value; but that which is controlled by the
legislative will and may depend uxion party exigencies or the suxixiosed
necessities of the Treasury, or the demands of sxieculative enterprises, is objectionable in the highest degree. Such a currency is liable
to sudden and violent expansion or contraction, having no necessary
connection with the legitimate demands of trade and commerce.
In a country like ours, with varied industries and extensive commercial relations among its different sections and with other nations
and x^Goples\ stability of the circulating medium is indispensable to
the general prosperity. Credit, which necessarily enters largely into
commercial transactions, can only be steady and secure when it has
for its foundation a stable currency. The quality of stability in money
attaches only to coin, which, by common consent of mankind, is the
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.

medium of exchange, and to a xiaxier currency^rexiresentative of coin,
because convertible into it at the will of the holder. The reason is
obvious; for coin, besides being recognized throughout the world as a
medium of exchange, has a high intrinsic value, can be xirocured only
by labor and in limited quantities which cannot be increased by statutory laws, nor suddenly by other means, while inconvertible xiaper
mone}^ may be xiroduced in indefinite quantities at a nominal cost, a
note of the highest denomination costing no more than the lowest, and
its volume dexiending solely on legislative enactment.
The history of irredeemable paper currency repeats itself whenever
and wherever it is used. I t increases xiresent prices, deludes the
laborer with the idea that he is getting higher wages, and brings a
fictitious x^i'osxierity from which follow inflation of business and
credit and excess of enterxirise in ever-increasing ratio, until it is
discovered that trade and commerce have become fatally diseased,
when confidence is destro^'cd, and then comes the shock to credit,
followed b^' disaster and dexiression, and a demand for relief by further
issues.
A dollar legal-tender note, such as is now in circulation, is neither
more nor less than the promise of the Government to pay a dollar to
the bearer, Avhile no express iirovision is made by law for xiaying the
dollar at any time whatever; nor is there any existing iirovision for
converting it into anything that stands in a tangible ratio to a coin •
dollar. As far as existing laws go, there is no reason why the legaltender note of the denomination of a dollar should ^a^s^ for one cent
of gold, except so far as the Government compels creditors to accept
it in discharge of obligations to xiay money, and obliges the w^ealth and
commerce of the country to adopt it as a medium of exchange. To this
may be added, as an element of the value of the legal-tender dollar, th©
hope that the Government will sometime or other redeem its paper
promises according to their import. The universal use of, and reliance
upon, such a currency tends to blunt the moral sense and impair the
natural self-dependence of the people, and trains them to the belief
that the Government must directly assist their individual fortunes
and business, help them in their personal affairs, and enable them to
discharge their debts by partial payment. This inconvertible paper
currency begets the delusion that the remedy for private pecuniary
distress is in legislative measures, and makes the people unmindful of
the fact that the true remed}^ is in greater production and less spending, and that real prosperity comes only from individual effort and
thrift. When exchanges are again made in coin, or in a currency con-
XIV
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY,
vertible into it at the will of the holder, this truth will be understood
and acted mion.
I t is not intended to call in question the constitutional validity of
the legal-tender acts, nor the wisdom of those who, in the midst of a
rebellion which taxed the utmost resources and energies of the nation,
deemed the issue of such notes essential to success. Eepeated adjudications of the highest judicial tribunal of the land sustaining their
validity must be accepted as conclusive o f t h e question. All that is
now meant to be asserted is, that the exigencies which required the
issue of such notes have passed away, and the time has come for taking
such steps as may be necessary to redeem the. pledge then made. The
power to do so, as well as the selection of means to that end, is with
Congress. The Secretary can do neither more nor less than obey and
execute such laws as Congress may enact.
While it seems to be very generally conceded that resumption of
specie paynient is essential to the honor of the Government and to
the general welfare, the views of intelligent and well-informed persons
as to the best method of resumption are so widely divergent, and the
plans that have been suggested so multifarious, that the Secretary
feels embarrassment in suggesting a plan, the details of which will
commend themselves to Congress. But there are one or two fundamental ideas underlying the subject which, it is believed, must be the
basis of any practicable plan for resumxition, and are, therefore, submitted for the consideration of Congress.
It is obvious that there can be no resumption by the Government so
long as the volume of paper currency is largely in excess of the possible amount of coin available for that purpose which may come into
the Treasury in any year, and while no provision is made for the conversion of this xiaper money into anything having a nearer relation to
coin; nor is it xiossible for the banks or people to resume so long as
the large amount of irredeemable paper now in circulation continues
to be by law legal tender for all private debts with reference both to
the past and the future. While this state of things lasts gold will
continue to flow from us, and find employment where the natural laws
of trade, unobstructed by restraining legislation, make its daily use
indispensable.
The Secretary, therefore, recommends Congress to provide by law that
after an early and fixed day United States notes shall cease to be legal
tender as to contracts thereafter made. But this provision should not
apply to official salaries or to other ordinary expenditures of the Government under then existing contracts or appropriations. Between the day

thus to be fixed and the time of final resumption a sufficient period
should elaxise to enable the peoxile and banks to prepare for the
latter b}^ such gradual processes in business as will neither lead to
violent contraction in credit and values, nor suddenly increase the
obligations of debtors. The sudden and immediate appreciation of the
paxier dollar to its par value in gold is not only no necessaiy elemeni:
of redemption, but, as far as xiracticable, should be avoided.. If during
the period of the war the legal-tender acts operated ias a ba^nkrupt law,
compelling creditors to give acquittances ux)on the receixit of less than
the full amount of their debts, this is no reason why the law for resumption should now compel debtors at once to xiay essentially more than
they have contracted to pay. The adoption of such measures as will
not suddenly increase the obligations of debtors, will go far to allay
and disarm whatever popular oxiposition to resumxi tion of specie payment may now exist, and, besides, would be but just to the debtor
class. The day from which new contracts must be discharged in coin
should be fixed sufficiently far in advance to give the xieople and the
banks time to understand it and to prexiare themselves for it. It is
believed that not many months will be necessary for that purpose;
but, to avoid the mischiefs already indicated, this day should precede
the day of final resumption by a longer period. The time should not,
in the opinion of the Secretary, be extended beyond three years, and
might safely be made as much less as in the judgment of Congress
would sufficiently protect the interest of debtors and avoid^the evils of
too sudden contraction.
The law should also authorize the immediate conversion of legaltender notes into bonds bearing a low rate of interest, which, while
inviting conversion, should not be so high as to appreciate tl^e legaltender notes rapidly, and thereby operate oppressively on the debtor
class. As an additional inducement to the conversion of United States
notes into these bonds at a low rate of interest, authority should be
given for.making them security for the circulation of national banks.
The law should further provide the means for the redemxition of such
notes as may be xiresented for that purpose when the period of resumption shall have been reached. To this end, the Secretary should
be authorized to make a loan not exceeding the total amount of
notes remaining unconverted at the time of resumption, less the surplus
revenue to be made applicable to such resumption. It is probable that
the gradual and continued revival of business will so far increase the
revenues that a large loan will not be required for this purpose; but
it is. advisable that the Secretary.be authorized to make it in order
XVI
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY. OF THE TREASURY.
to meet the contingency of a failure of sufficient surplus revenues.
Such a loan should be made by issuing bonds to run for such time as
the wisdom of Congress may suggest, and to be disxiosed of from time
to time as the necessities of the case may require. In the oxiinion of
the Secretary, these bonds should run for a long period, and should
bear interest at a rate not exceeding the lowest rate which the Government may then be paying in refunding its six xier cent, securities.
Any substantial or useful movement for resumption necessarily involves supxilying the Treasury with increased amounts of coin, either
by increased revenues or an adequate loan. The xiresent condition of
the credit of the Government, which would be further enhanced by the
adoption of measures for return to a specie basis, leaves no room for
doubt that a loan for such purpose would be readily taken at a low
rate of interest. Measures should also be adoxited requiring the banks
to hold gold reserves preparatory to resumption on their part.
But. the Secretary does not deem it proper to pursue the matter
into further detail. If Congress shall conclude, as he earnestly hopes
it will, that the time has arrived for the enactment of a law having for
its object resumption of specie payments, its own wisdom will supply
the necessary methods. That which is of the highest importance is
the adoption of the definite policy of resumption. In view of the great
and pressing importance of the sxieediest return to specie xiayment consonant with steadiness of business and avoidance of violent and sudden contraction, discussion of mere details in advance becomes of little
practical consequence. What is demanded by the best interests of the
Government and the peoxile, and by the highest considerations of virtue and morality, is, that Congress shall undo that state of things
which oi^ly the necessities of war justified or required in this respect.
A wise modification of existing statutes, which neither enable nor permit the executive branch of the Government to effect the restoration
of a sound currency, will leave the laws of trade free to resuihe their
operations, and many matters of detail will adjust themselves. When
the Government shall have resmmed specie payment, it may be expected that gold will flow into the country in obedience to the law of
supply and demand; the export of our gold xiroduct will greatly diminish and the millions of gold which now constitute only a commodity
of trade will resume its xii'oper functions by becoming again a part of
the circulating medium. With the adoxition of the xiolicy of resumption, free banking may safely be allowed, and the deficit of the actual
amount of coin available for circulation can be supplied by bank notes
convertible into coin, in lieu of an inconvertible xiaper currency.
• REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
XVII
The business of the country has not yet recovered from the disasters of the last year's financial panic, the causes of which it is by no
means difficult to trace. It was the direct and immediate result of
that excessive development of speculative enterprises, over-trading,
and inflation of credit which invariably follow large issues of inconvertible xiaper ciuTency. The almost boundless resources and energies
of the country must Compel the gradual re-establishment of business,
but capital, with its accustomed sensitiveness to danger, is slow to return to the avenues of trade. Yalues are fluctuating and uncertain.
Labor receives its reward in a currency that is unsteady, and whose
Xiurchasing xiower changes almost daily. Neither the reward of labor
nor the value of commodities is measured by any certain standard.
The enactment of a law having for its purpose the substitution of a
sound and stable medium of exchange for an irredeemable paper currency will tend to restore confidence, and thus cause a revival of industries and general business.
There will be no better time in the future to enter upon the work oi
returning to a sxiecie basis, and the Secretary feels that he cannot too
strongly, urge the adoxition of the measures he has indicated, or such
others as will more certainly lead to the desired end.
ECONOMY IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.
In connection with this subject, the Secretary deems it proxier to
suggest, for the consideration of Congress, the importance of the most
rigid economy in the public expenditures. Lavish outlay of money by
the Government leads to corresxionding habits bf extravagance among
the xieoxile. An era of inflation is always one of extravagance. A t
such a time costly public improvements of doubtful utility are likely to
be undertaken, and other unusual expenditures made. It is easier to
fall into such practices in a time of inflation than to abandon them
when necessity requires. The general depression following the late
financial panic has compelled the people to lessen their individual
expenditures, and the Government should not be slow to follow their
examxile.
The xiresent condition of the revenues requires the utmost economy
in public exiienditures, and the most careful scrutiny of the estimates
herewith transmitted is invited. So far as they relate to the Treasury
Department, the Secretary iias required them to be kept within the
appropriations of the last session of Congress, when a large reduction
was effected. He is gratified to be able .to express the opinion that
II F
XVIII
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY
OF T H E TREASURY.
such reduction has not affected injuriously the public interests confided
to his care, nor has it tended to obstruct or delay the public business.
Not only is rigid economy required by reason of the present condition of the public revenues, but fidelity to obligations and a just
sense of responsibility to the people, to whom the Government belongs,
and who contribute of their means to its support, demand it. Governicgtent cannot long exist in a prosperous condition without the confidence
of the people, and that confidence will be given or withheld accordingly
a,s^the Government is faithfully, honestly, and economically adminisistered, or otherwise. When it is understood that not a dollar is taken
from^the xieople by taxation beyond what is needful for the legitimate
purposes of the Government, they will not withhold their confidence
or refuse to supxiort its financial measures. At such a time loans are
freely taken and taxes cheerfully paid. It is essential to the proper
strength of the Government at home, as well as to its credit abroad,
that no greater taxes be levied than are required to carry on its necessary operations and to maintain the national faith and honor«by prompt
payment of all its obligations, and when such revenues are collected it
is no less important that they be faithfully and exclusively applied to
the legitimate purposes of Government.
While the indebtedness of the Government is large, and the maintenance of the national honor requires the collection of large sums by
taxation to meet the accruing interest, besides other necessary public
<expenses, any appropriation for other purposes should be deprecated
as likely to affect injuriously the public credit, and increase the diffi
culties in the way of return to a specie basis.
THE NATIONAL BANKS.
The report of the Comptroller of the Currency contains full statistics
of the resources and liabilities, the reserves, dividends, taxation, and
earnings of the national banks since the organization of the system.
The recommendations and suggestions of the Comptroller in reference
to the distribution of the currency, redemption, and proposed amendments to the national-bank act are worthy of consideration. From this
rexiort it appears that 2,200 banks have been organized under the
national-bank act, of which number 2,028 are now in operation, and 2,004
were doing business on the 2d of October last; reports of their condition
at that date having been received. As appears by their returns of that
date, the aggregateo capital of these banks was $493,765,121, with
a surplus, in addition, of $128,958,106; circulation outstanding,
$333,225,298; individual deposits, $669,068,995; loans, $949,870,627;

The aggregate call loans of these banks on the 2d of October last
were $56,200,329, corresponding very nearly in amount with the same
class of loans on October 3, 1872, which then stood at $56,590,363,
showing that the character of 4he loans of the New York City banks
has not materially changed since the panic of 1873. The net amount
on dexiosit with these banks by other national banks was $56,237,452.
I t thus apxiears that nearly the whole amount of the balances due to
other national banks is invested in loans payable on call. Interest is
paid on a large portion of the balances due to other banks, and they
must be so invested as to be readily available, such deposits being
subject to far greater fluctuations in volume than a similar line of commercial deposits. The banker thus makes the broker a convenience
for obtaining interest on money which he could not prudently invest in
commercial paper. The statistical table of the rate of interest in New
York City, prepared from daily reports, shows the following results, to
wit: The average rate of interest for the past year was 3.8 per cent, on
call loans, and 6.4 per cent, on commercial paper, and for the six
Inonths ending October 31, 1874, the average rate was 2.7 per cent, on
call loans and 5.6 on commercial paper.
XX
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
The attention of Congress has frequently been called by the Secretary and the Comptroller of the Currency to the evils arising from the
payment of interest on deposits, and efforts have been made by the
more conservative bankers to discourage the practice. The difficulty
in the way of legislation is, that, while Congress has the xiower to prohibit the payment of interest on deposits by the national banks, by the
imposition of penalties, it has no such power with reference to the
State banks and xirivate bankers. The only x>i'acticable legislation
upon this subject which would not discriminate against the national
banks would seem to be the imxiosition of a sxiecial tax upon all interestbearing deposits.
The act of June 20, 1874, limits the amountof legal-tender notes to
$382,000,000. The authorized amount of national-bank notes was not
changed, but remains at $354,000,000. This act provides, however, for
the transfer of circulation, from the Eastern and Middle States to the
Western and Southern States, as may be required to supply apxilications for circulation, uxion an axiportionment,based on x3opulation
and wealth according to the census returns of 1870. The act also
Xirovides for the deposit of legal-tender notes in the Treasury, and the
surrender of the bonds deposited with the Treasurer as. security for
,the like amount of circulating notes. Under this iirovision the banks
have voluntarily surrendered $7,714,550 of their circulation. $6,492,285
of the notes of banks in liquidation are still outstanding, and a small
amount ($2,072,754) of the $354,000,000 remains unissued. The^
whole, amounting to $16,279,589, is now at the disposal of the Comptroller," or will be hereafter available for distribution as this circulation
shall be redeemed; so that it is not'x'>robable that it will be necessary
to withdraw circulation from banks located in States which are in
excess for some time to come. The same [act repeals the |xiroyision
requiring reserves uxion circulation, and requires a deposit,equal to
five per cent, of the circulation, in the Treasury for the redemption of
such circulation. The effect of this law upon the reserves ofthe banks
as shown by their last report, (October 2,) is the release of-$20,350,748
of legal-tender notes, which is about one-sixth of the amount that would
have been required under the law previouslj^ in force. The amount of
cash reservies held by the banks at that time in excess of the requirements of the act was $55,102,487, and the amount held in excess by
the New York City banks was $17,145,406.
The Comiitroller suggests that the xirovisions of the act of June 20,
1874, in reference to the redistribution of the currency reserves and
redemption, be more fully tested before any changes shall be made.

-and, accordingly, no amendments are recommended to that act, unless
modifications shall become necessary in adoxiting measures for a return
4o specie payment.
The foregoing tables and facts fully establish the conclusion that
there is a large amount of currency in excess of the legitimate needs
of business, and should serve to dispel the fallacy that greater expan•sion of currency is the proxier remedy for the general depression and
^contraction of the volume of business.
COINAGE.
The report of the Director of the Mint presents in detail the operations ofthe mints and assay offices, and contains valuable information
relative to coinage, foreign moneys, and international exchanges.
The amount of bullion operated upon during the fiscal year was—

The gold coinage, including worn pieces recoined, was $50,442,690;
-silver coinage, $5,983,601; gold bars stamped, $31,485,818; silver bars
.stamped, $6,847,79918.
•
.
Compared with the xirevious year there was an. increase in the gold
-coinage of $15,193,352 50; in silver coinage, $3,037,805 80; and in gold
aud silver bars, $10,816,086 57.
The trade-dollar has been successfully introduced into the oriental
markets with advantage to Americaii commerce.
A twenty-cent silver coin being required for the purpose of convenience in making change, the enactment of a law authorizing the
-coinage of a piece of that denomination is recommended.
The estimate of the Director of the Mint shows a gain in specie and
bullion in the last two fiscal years of about $38,000,000, and the stock
of specie in the country to be about $166,000,000.
The estimated increase of coin and bullion is gratifying, being one
-of the evidences of a gradual r,ecuperation of the country from the
effects of a destructive civil strife, and, in connection with an annual
"production of about $70,000,000 of the xirecious metals, affords encour^agement that a stock of coin may, within reasonable time and with
XXII
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
favorable legislation, accumulate to an extent sufficient to enable
resumption of specie xiayments to be undertaken and maintained.
There would appear to be no doubt that bullion converted in,to coin
will, as a general rule, remain longer in the country than if left in an
uncoined condition to seek foreign markets. Our xiolicy should, therefore, be to encourage the coinage of both gold and silver.
With respect to the charge made under existing laws for the coinageof gold, which in this country is the standard metal, it no doubt tendsto create an adverse exchange, and causes bullion to be exported to
London, where no charge for coinage of gold is made.
The expediency of continuing the charge in the present financial
condition of the country may well be doubted.
The attention of Congress is invited to the explanations of the Director of the Mint in connection with the course of silver bullion.
With a view to the resumption of specie payments, it is important
to manufacture a large quantity of silver coin to take the place of the
fractional notes, and, as its preparation at the mints will require considerable time, it is recommended that authority be given the Secretary
to commence the manufacture of such coinage, beginning with the
smallest denomination, and to gradually withdraw the fractional notes..
The system of computing sterling exchange on the fictitious or assumed par of four shillings and sixpence to the dollar, and the equivalent, $4.44|- to the xiound, which had been in use for a long period,
ceased on the 31st of December last, under the provisions of the act ot
March 3,1873, which fixed the par of exchange between the United
States and Great Britain at $4.86,6J to the pound, that sum being the^
value in United States money of a standard sovereign, compared with
the pure gold contained in the standard gold dollar of the United
States.
The new system has many advantages over the old oue, especially
in simplicity, and having an absolutely correct basis.
REVENUE FROM CUSTOMS.
The past and present condition of .the receipts from customs constitutes the general guide to estimates and recommendations respecting"
that branch of the xiublic revenue.
For the year ending June 30, 1874, the decline in receipts from the
previous year was considerable—falling off from $188,089,522 to$163,103,833, a loss of nearly $25,000,000. The receipts for the first
quarter of the current fiscal year were two and a half millions less than
for the corresponding period of the last year. The receipts for the-
^REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
XXIII
months of October and November, 1873, were $21,243,333 25o For the
same months of the current year they were $22,755,811.
The act of June 6, 1872, admitted large classes of manufactures to
a reduction often per cent, of the duties prescribed by previous statutes,
without designating specifically the articles to which the reduction
should axixily, leaving much room for construction in the practical application of the act to articles of new design or of particular combinations of materials. This act was followed by a system of extreme
pressure for reduction, claimed through changes of classification of
articles, and advantage was sought to be taken of every doubtful construction of all parts of the act.
During the years 1873 and 1874 there was a good deal effected in
the way of reduction of duties through changes in form or component
materials of merchandise, intended to answer the same purpose in
consumption that articles and fabrics charged with a higher rate
duty had previously answered. Yery large substitutions of materials
other than wool have been made for fabrics previously paying the duty
charged on woollens. Silks, linens, and cottons have been similarly
imitated, while the true rate of duty was avoided in some cases, and
sought to be avoided in others, by claiming them as subject to rates
of duty prescribed in the acts of 1861-'62 as manufactures of mixed
materials.
Some portions of the reductions thus claimed are admitted in the
revision of the statutes of 1874, while others are rejected as not properly authorized. It has been ascertained, as the result of careful calculation, that a concession of the reduced classifications claimed in the
large number of appeals made to the Secretary during the year 1874
would have reduced the revenues so far as to seriously embarrass the
Treasury. This urgency for reduction is not now so great, and there
is more general acquiescence in reasonable and xiroper construction of
the statutes by those wlio would at any time be content with aii equal
administration of such lav^s. It is the purpose of the Department to
render them equal and uniform in their application, as fa.r as xiracticable and consistent with the letter of the law, and to administer
them with such energy as shall leave none in doubt as to their true
meaning. In the application of the revised statutes questions of construction often arise, but the Department has freely announced the
principles of construction believed to be applicable, and in this it has
had tlie support of recent decisions of the courts. No doubt is entertained that' the positions assumed by the Department in this respect
will bear any test of review to which they may be subjected—a raatter

REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E

here alluded to only in the hope of inducing acquiescence in the intent
of laws, which, if equally enforced, cannot operate prejudicially against
any class or section.
The general depression of business resulting from the panic of September, 1873, has been followed by unusual delay in forwarding the
crops. Prices in all the markets, foreign and domestic, have not been
sufficiently high to induce shippers to make the usual investment in
moving the crops, and the result is that the demand for consumption
of foreign merchandise usual in the West and interior at this season
is held in reserve. As a consequence of this absence of demand for
foreign merchandise, purchases for the interior and the West have
been greatly restricted, and with reasonable caution importers have
avoided assuming the burden of stocks of goods not likely to be
readily taken off their hands for consumption. In what rnanner or
at what time this constraint will be entirely relieved, it is not easy to
say; but it would be wholly without precedent to find such abundant
production as has marked the present year, without remunerative demand for consumption, for any considerable time. It is a reasonable
. inference that this state of things will yield as the wants of Europe
for our surplus crops are developed in the coming year, and that
general commerce, with the revenues to be received from jt, will revive accordingly. For the present, it is of the highest importance to
protect the revenue provided by law in the most faithful manner.
Through a uniform and thorough enforcement of existing law, much
may not only be saved in direct results, but many of the complaints
arising from supposed inequality and obscurity may be removed. The
actual receipts from customs are greatly affected by such vigilance,
and it is the interest alike of the Government and the merchant that
there shall be no uncertainty as to the meaning of the law, and that
settlements should be made promptly and justly. Those who most
directly represent the commercial interests have been right in demanding this course, and,no doubt is entertained that well-directed efforts
to that end will prove satisfactory, even if they do not at, once accomXilish all that may be ultimately done.
Eeferring to the suggestions frequentl}^ made in favor of modification of the laws imposing duties on imports, and treating the subject
purely as one of revenue, it is not safe to say that any reduction of
rates on particular classes of goods can be admitted while the demand
of the Government for gold is as large as at present, without comxiensation by increased rates on other classes. Experience has shown that
there is usually great loss and injury to individuals in readjustment ot
duties to which the commercial interests have become accustomed.

It is, however, undeniable that there are inequalities and incongruities in existing laws imposing duties on imports, and that there is
demand for their revision, which, in many respects, seems to be worthy
the consideration of Congress. Should it be the pleasure of Congress
to enter upon this work of revision, it is recommended, in order to
avoid the difficulties attending hasty and partial modifications, that
provision be made by law for the appointment of a commission to
prepare the details of a bill for this purxiose and to report to the next
Congress.
I t is certain that the aggregate amount now received from this source
is necessary for revenue to meet demands, which cannot he safely stated
at less than $160,000,000 in gold, besides the receipts from, internal
revenue and other sources. The imxiost statements for 1872-'73 show
how heavily the revenues from customs were depleted by the reduction of 1872, coffee alone having yielded $10,969,098 77 in 1871, and
$7,192,074 91 in 1872. On the importations of coffee, in 1873, the rate
of three cents xier pound would have yielded nearly $9,000,000, and
two cents per pound almost $6,000,000,

This record of foreign prices for coffee tends strongly to the conclusion, making due allowance for the effect of short crops on prices, that
the duty repealed by the act of 1872 was added to the selling price
abroad, with no advantage to consumers here, while the country, as a
whole, has paid more than before for the entire stock. The repeal of
the duty on tea caused little or no reduction of xirices to consumers
here, but an increase of xirices abroad.
The circumstances under which duties on imports are collected are
such as to bring into x^l^y the most xiowerful forces of self-interest.

REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF
THE,TREASURY.
and, therefore, for success on the one hand, as against failure on the
other, often turns upon very small distinctions, apxiarently of little
consequence at the moment. A slight difference in the rate of duty
paid in one case, less than another, often becomes of the greatest practical importance to the importer. It is sometimes said that the interest
of the merchant to evade the duty is not great enough to iuduce the
attempt; but experience has shown that none other than the most
rigorous enforcement of law and the power to inflict i^-evere penalties
suffice to protect the interest of the Government and to meet the
efforts constantly made for evasion of the duties levied by law. For
this reason the laws of all countries where customs duties are imposed
have been uniformly and necessarily severe, declaring forfeiture and
penalty as the indispensable condition of the violation of revenue laws.
The history of legislation in this respect in Euroxie is unbroken. A
series of preventive and penal acts of the most decisive character may
be found everywhere, whatever may be the recent relaxation of the
rates of duty or the increase of the list of articles free of duty. In the
United States, the rates of" duty for some years past have been high,
much higher than are imposed in most other countries; but the^consumxition of foreign merchandise is large and the market eager and
undiscriminating, the quantity taken even at high cost being greater in
proportion to the population than in any foreign, country importing
from other countries.
At the last session of Congress measures were xiroposed, and, in xiarty
enacted, looking to the relief of merchants and others who comxilained
of what they claimed to be unnecessary severity of the revenue laws,
imposing penalty and forfeiture for violations thereof. Whatever
errors may have existed in the administration of these laws, or whatever extreme steps may have occasioned the legislation of the last
session, it is still true that the penal provisions, in most important
particulars, were no more stringent than those existing since the early
history of the country.
The earlier acts relating to duties on imports, perhaps, imxiosed the
severest penalties known to our statutes, and these laws remained
almost without material modification in this respect until the last session of Congress, but their administration was modified, by the xiower
of remission conferred upon the Secretary, so far as to rarely involve
forfeiture of vessels or the imposition of the extremest penalties. It
was the conspicuous character .of the xienalties recently imposed that
excited public attention and induced the modifications embodied in the
act of the last session.
REPORT OF TB[E SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
XXVII
In the light of the exxierience of this and other countries in the collection of duties on imports, it must be considered that any material
change in the policy or manner of protecting the revenues by the imposition of penalties and forfeitures is necessarily tentative. It is absolutely indisxiensable that the revenues shall be collected, and in their
collection the interests of the Government and the honest imxiorter
are the same. Both require that whatever the law declares to be the
rate or amount of duty shall be equally and inflexibly enforced. Evasions of an apparently small proportion of these duties become the
means of serious injury, if not ruin, to the honest merchant whose busilUess is undermined by such competition, and often result in great.loss of
irev^enue. While it is not yet demonstrable that the present tendency
to decline in revenue from customs is sensibly influenced by any other
cause than the decline of importations, there are .grave reasons for
apprehending serious results, from any legislation depriving the Government of the most efficient means for the detection of fraud and
power to inflict .the severest penalties in extreme cases. It cannot be
doubted that the legislation of the last session of Congress has created
a popular belief that smuggling is less hazardous, and violatioiis and
evasions of the law less dangerous, than formerly, and it is not difficult to see to what results such a belief is likely to lead.
The sum placed at the disxiosal of the Secretary, by the act of the
last session of Congress, is inadequate for furnishing comxiensation
for the detection of frauds upon the revenue. The last section of that
act makes it the duty of the Secretary to make comxiensation to persons
who would, under former laws, have been entitled to share in the distribution of forfeitures, and, under this provision, a large proportion
of the sum placed at the disposal of the Secretary by that act became
unavailable for use in cases of future violations of the law.
The decline of receipts from customs is suggestive of the importance
of reducing the aggregate expenses of collection, and the attention of
the Department -has recently been given to this subject in a way that
has already xiroduced some favorable results, and still further reduction will be accomplished. It is, however, impracticable to make such
reduction exactly, or even approximately, proportionate to the falling
off in receipts, since the cost of maintaining the minimum organization at any given port is the principal part of the expense, and this
cannot be avoided, or diminished, without incurring danger of loss of
the revenue at such port.

The decrease in the receipts from spirits is due to the small production of brandy in 1874, in consequence of the partial failure of the
fruit crop in 1873; the earlier collection of special taxes in 1874 than
in 1873j the reduction in the value of warehouse, rectifiers', and
dealers' stamps by act of June 6, 1872, which reduction operated
during the whole of the fiscal year 1874, but during only eleven months
of 1873; and the smaller collections from repealed taxes relating to
spirits in 1874 than in 1873.
The falling off in the receipts from tobacco is owing chiefly to the
abolition of the system of bonded warehouses, under act of June 6,
1872, by which large quantities of manufactured tobacco were placed
upon the market during the fiscal year 1873, and to the increased
activity given during the early part of the same year to the movement
of plug tobacco by the reduction in the rate of tax from 32 to 20 cents
per pound.
The act of June 6, 1872, so far as it relates to a reduction of taxation
on banks and documentary stamxis, did not go into full operation prior
to the last fiscal year.

liquors during the fiscal years 1873 and 1874 was as follows:

The receipts from internal revenue for the first quarters of the fiscal

The aggregate receipts for the months of October and November,
1873, were $13,863,029 97, and for the same months of 1874 they were
$17,476,202 99.
Without some unexpected interruption of the industries upon which
these taxes are imposed, the full amount of the estimate hereinbefore
presented will be realized. .
The suggestion of the Commissioner that the taxes now collected by
stamxis on bank checks, matches, perfumery, cosmetics, &c., may be
abolished, and compensation made therefor by increasing the tax on
spirits ten cents per gallon, is worthy the consideration of Congress.
By making this change the items of internal taxation would be considerably reduced, and the system simplified without loss of revenue.
The means now in use for the collection of tax on spirits will, it is
believed, secure the collection of the increased amount.

manifests, containing the quantities and values of merchandise exported
in railway cars, are not legally requirable. Detailed statements have
been received, however, from the Commissioner of Customs of the
Dominion of Canada, from which it apxiears that the coin value of our
exports to Canada during .the last fiscal year was $10,200,059 in excess
of that returned by the United States customs officers, which would
increase the exports for the last fiscal year as above stated, by that
amount.
It is proper to remark in this connection that merchandise of the
value of $17,878,225 was withdrawn from bond for consumption, in
excess of that entered for warehouse, during the year.
The export of coin and bullion was $24,952,138 less than for the preceding year, while the exports of domestic merchandise have increased
$63,803,118.
There appears to have been a decrease in imxiortations for the last
year of $74,729,868 as compared with the previous fiscal year, and of
$59,188,735 as compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 1872.
The following imports show an increase in value, respectively:

COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION.
Little improvement is observable in the foreign carrying trade.
Over 72 per cent, of our imports and exports, during the last fiscal year,
was carried in foreign vessels. This ratio is, however, a somewhat
better exhibit than fbr the fiscal year 1872, when 76 per cent, of this trade
w^as transported in vessels of other nations. It is estimated that, prior
to 1860, from 75 to 80 per cent, was done in vessels of the United States.
From the report of the Eegister of the Treasury, the total tonnage
of vessels of the United States appears to be 4,800,652 tons, being an
increase over that of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1873, of 104,626
tons, notwithstanding the omission from the official returns, under the
act of April 18, 1874, of canal-boat tonnage amounting to 133,065
tons.
The tonnage of vessels built during the last fiscal year, as given in
the report of the Eegister, is 432,725 tons; which amount exceeds that
XXXII
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
of the preceding year by 73,479 tons, and is greater than that of any
year since 1855.
From July 1 to November 10, 1874, official numbers have been
awarded by the Bureau of Statistics to 684 vessels, whose carryings
capacity amounts to 169,654 tons. Of these, 213 were new sea-going
vessels, varying from 100 to 5,000 tons, with an aggregate tonnage of
120,972 tons. Of this number, twenty-nine vessels measured over
1,000 tons, three over 2,000 tons, while two were iron steamships of
5,008 tons each.
REVENUE MARINE.
During the past year the three steani-vessels in process of construction for the Eevenue Marine at the date of the last annual report of
the Secretary have been comxileted and xiut in commission. They
are wooden vessels, of excellent model, thoroughly built of the best
material, strong and fast, and admirably suited to the work required of them. In the design of their steam-machinery special
pains were taken to introduce the latest well-established improvements to secure speed and economy of fuel. There being great differences of opinion among engineers as to the relative value of different types of engines, and it appearing that all operated successfully,
it was decided to use different engines in these steamers, the boilers,
screws, and hulls being the same. Upon their completion, at the request, and with the co-operation of the Navy Department, trials on
a scientific basis were made of their steam-machinery; the report of
which has been xiublished, and will, it is believed, be found of great
value.
These three vessels, are of about 250 tons each, and have displaced
four old ones having an aggregate tonnage of 1,320 tons. Their
completion xiractically accomplishes the reorganization of this branch
of the service, which has been in progress during the last three years
upon the xilan recommended by the commission appointed December
16, 1869, whose report was submitted to Congress May 26, 1870. (Ex,
Doc. No. 93, 41st Cong., 2d Session.) For nearly all the old slow and
unwieldy sailing craft, and the large steamers of heavy draught and complicated machinery, which were ill-adapted to the requirements of the
service and exxiensive to maintain, small steamers of ligiit draught and
good speed have been substituted, effecting a reduction in the tonnage
of the fleet of nearly 2,000 tons; reducing corresxiondingly the number
of men employed and otherwise lessening the expenses of maintaining
the service, while greatly increasing its efficiency. Equally important
changes have been made in th^ character of the official corxis, through

the removal of incompetent officers and the institution of a rigid professional examination of candidates for admission. Constant imxirovement has attended the progress of the reorganization, and the benefits
already derived indicate even better results than were anticipated.

the commencement of the reorganization, well illustrate the advancement that has been made:

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF TFIE TREASURY.
The number of vessels now in coiiimisson is thirty-four, of which
thirty are steamers and four sailing vessels. They are so distributed
as to embrace in their cruising grounds the entire coast of the United
States, with the exception of a portion of the Pacific coast, and afford
reasonable protection against the smuggling of goods into the country
by the cargo. For the portion of the Pacific coast alluded to, a vessel
was authorized to be built at the la;St session of Congress, and xilans
and specifications for her construction are now in preparation.
LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
There have been erected during the xiast year twenty-two new lifesaving stations, as follows: Five on the coast of Maine, one on the
coast of New Hampshire, five on the coast of Massachusetts, one on
the coast of Ehode Island, three on the coast of Yirginia, and seven on
the coast of North Carolina. They are completely equipped, and were
manned for the winter^s service on the first of the xiresent inonth.
Contract has been entered into for the construction of six stations on
the coast of Maryland and Yirginia, between Cape Henloxien and Caxie
Charles, under authority of the act of June 20,1874, and arrangements
will be made for the erection of tAvo other stations between these capes,
on the coast of Delaware, as soon as xiossession of the sites selected
for them, which are the xiroxierty of the State, can be obtained.
When these stations are comxileted and put in operation, the Atlantic coast, from Quoddy Head to Cape Hatteras, with the exception,
perhaps, of the vicinity of Point Judith, will be well protected. South
of Cape Hatteras nothing is needed, except the houses of refuge xirovided for by the act above referred to. Early steps will be taken for
the building of these. Sites have been secured for the thirty stations
authorized for the great lakes, and xilans and specifications for the
buildings are being prepared. It is expected that these stations will be
completed in season for use during the autumn of next year. Measures
will also be taken to have the stations authorized for the Pacific coast
in readiness for occupancy next winter.
^ There have been in operation during the past year eighty-two
stations. They are all located in the three districts designated as the
Cape Cod district, Ehode Island and Long Island district^ and the New
Jersey district, which embrace the most dangerous portions of the
Atlantic coast.
The reports of the superintendents show that during the seasbn of
1873-74, forty-eight vessels, valued, with their cargoes, at $2,331,606,
and having on board 1,166 persons, were driven upon these shores.
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF THE TREASURI".
XXXV
In twenty-nine instances the life-saving apparatus was called into
requisition, and 303 persons were rescued by it. In the other cases
its use was not required, but assistance of some sort, in administering
to the comfort of the shipwrecked or in saving proxierty, was rendered
in nearly all by the force of the service. Of the amount of property
jeoparded, only $457,282 was lost, and the number of lives lost was but
two. Both of these were caused by the falling of the mast of a vessel
when she struck—a case in w.hich, of course, life-saving appliances were
not available. The number of days' shelter afforded shipwrecked persons at the stations was 494.
The life-saving service has now been in operation under the present
system three years on the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey and
two years on the coast of Cape Cod. The statistics of disasters upon
these coasts during this time are reported as follows:

Almost all the disasters which occur upon these coasts are from the
stranding of vessels, and it is against death and loss of x')roperty resulting from this class of disasters that the hfe-saving service, as thereon
established, is designed to afford xirotection. The success of the system,
which the foregoing statistics imxily, is certainly all that could be
hoped for. It is hardly to be exxiected that an equal measure of success will be attained upon the lakes, where the causes and character
of a large x^roxiortion of the disasters are of a differeij^ nature. That
the benefits to be derived from the extension of the service there, however, will amxily justify the expense involved cannot be doubted.
In the xirosecution of inquiries essential to comxiliance with the
recxuirements of the second section of the act of March 3, 1873, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report to the House of Eexiresentatives ^^the points on the sea and lake-coasts of the United States at
which the establishment of life-saving stations would best subserve
the interests of commerce and humanity," valuable statistics of disasters to shixiping, which have occurred upon our coasts within the last
ten years, were gathered, with much trouble, from underwriters
wreck-commissioners, officers of the customs, light-house keepers, and
XXXVI
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
all other available sources, and all practicable means were taken to
verify them. Although important statistics of some disasters are lacking, it is believed that the information obtained is very nearly correct.
As these statistics afford information of considerable interest to shipowners, underwriters, and persons engaged in commerce generally, it
has been thought proper to have them arranged in tables with respect
to years and months, to classes of vessels, to kind and cause of disaster, to tonnage, to locality of disaster, &c. These tables may be found
in the appendix to this report.
Eeports of the statistics of disasters to shipping, important as they
are, were never authoritatively required by the Governnient until tlie
act of June 20, 1874, directed the owners and masters of vessels to
suxiply them. At the commenceinent of the last fiscal year, however,
the customs officers of tl^e various ports of the country were directed
to obtain and forward to the Department the xiarticulars of all disasters occurring to vessels within their collection districts, or to vessels
owned therein, where it was xiossible to obtain them. The returns received were very full. They have been tabulated, as above described,
and wrecking charts, uxion which is shown the exact locality of each
disaster, have been prepared. The tables may be found in the axipendix.
LIGHT-HOUSE SERVICE.
The Light-house Establishment, which exceeds in magnitude that
of any other nation, providing as it does for the necessities of a coast
line, including the great northern lakes, over ten thousand miles in
distance, besides an extent of four thousand seven hundred miles on
inland rivers—making a total of over fourteen thousand miles—
keeps x>ace with the demands for increased aids to commerce and
navigation.. ,^
Within the xiast year twenty-five light-houses, two light-ships, seven
fog-signals, eight beacons, and twenty-seven buoys, have been estab. lished. The total number of such aids to navigation now in use in
the United States, is 546 light-houses, 23 light-ships, 42 fog-signals,
382 beacons, and 2,865 buoys.
,
It appears from the. report of the Light-house Board that, from the
first, means have b(Ben adopted not only for introducing the improvements Avhich have been made in foreign countries, but also, by original
investigations, to add to the efficiency of the system. In the latter the
Board has recently been successful in the introduction of new materials
of illumination, and of greatly improved fog-signals.
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY. X X X V I I
Weekly meetings of the Board, instead of quarterly, as formerly,
have been held during the xiast year, affording increased oxiportunities for the discussion of new methods and deliberation upon xiroposed.
imxirovements, as suggested by recent scientific discoveries and the
Xiractices of foreign countries; and a series of sxiecial investigations
have been commenced, with the view to determine how far the changes,
suggested as possible by the late engineer secretary as the result of
his recent examinatioii into the systems in use abroad—alluded to in
the last annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury—may be with
advantage introduced into our own system.
COAST SURVEY.
s The operations of the coast survey within the present year again
illustrate the special utility of that work. Near several of the sailing
courses on the Atlantic coast and on the Pacific, dangers that would
elude ordinar^^ care in. hydrographic research have been developed,
and made known to navigators. The data, scientific and practical,
gathered in all branches of this imxiortant service, and on record
for future uses, and the experience of the officers employed, are now
sought by the governmental and other commissions for determining questions committed to them, whether in regard to boundaries,
measures for the preservation of harbors, special structures subject to
the action of tides and currents, or for increasing local facilities in
navigation. Several routes suggested for an interoceanic ship canal
have been traversed by officers of the survey, and one of them now
acts as a member of the commission for devising means to imxirove the
outlet of the Mississipxii river.
In the prompt issue of charts with exact delineation of the shores,
and of tables xiredicting the tides for each day of the year; the large
and steadily increasing number of xioints xirecisely determined in latitude and longitude; and develoximent of the law of magnetic variation
for the entire area of the United States, the survey well deserves the
wide rexiute which its organization has hitherto maintained for public
usefulness.
That not one, even of the oldest States in the Union, has at this day
a map of its surface sufficiently accurate for any other than xmrposes
of travel, is now an inconvenience severeh^ felt, but is not matter of
reproach as regards the .States or the General Government.
Kingdoms, restricted in shore line, and scarcely equal to either of
our States in area, but with resources comparativel}^ vast, enlisted
their ablest scientific men years ago in such work, and now have maps

adequate for geological surveys, or for any pther economical requirement. Our own Governnient, in haxixiy foresight of the xiresent needs,
oprovided for an exact and continuous survey of the Atlantic, Gulf, and
Pacific coasts of the United States, and that work, unrivalled in precision by any other geodetic survey, is now far advanced. While in its
Xirogress all requirements for commerce and navigation have been met,
much has been incidentally done for the future interests of the interior.
By connecting the surveys of harbors and tidal rivers, and proving
their geographical relation precisely, the States of the Union are furnished, for their ultimate surveys, with a basis of accuracy not attainable in any other feasible way. I t is evident that for such maps as
to other nations have proved indispensable in their industrial progress,
our States must found their final survey's on xioints well determined in
their relation to the coast. All available nieans, therefore, are due for
maintaining the xiresent scale and system of work in the survey of the
coast, both in regard to its main x)urpose, and in order that the States
may have collateral advantage in commencing their ultimate surveys.
Many years must elapse before the States are able to complete their
final maps, but the present need for them has been repeatedly brought
to the notice of this Dexiartment.
MARINE-HOSPITAL SERVICE.
Although the rate of hospital dues was doubled b^' the marinehospital act of 1870, the average yearly collection of such dues has
not yet been correspondingly increased, as compared with the average
of the three years preceding the passage of that act. And this, notwithstanding there has been, since then, an increase of about fourteen
and one-half xier cent, in American tonnage, exclusive of vessels
engaged in the fisheries, and of thirty-six per cent, in the amount of
hospital relief required.
According to the most reliable data obtainable for the ascertainment
. of the xiroxiortion of crew to tonnage, there are upwards of 157,500
seamen emxiloyed on American vessels subject to hosxiital dues. As
the actual xieriod of service in the merchant marine averages about
nine months per annuni, there should have been, instead of $346,676,
the amount received last year,- an aggregate of about $567,000, a sum
amxily sufficient to make the service self-sustaining.
An examination into the causes of this deficiency leads to the belief
that it is largely due to defects in the mode of collecting the dues.
The statute authorizes the master or owner of every vessel, subject to
hosxiital dues, to retain out of the Avages of each of his crew, the sum
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
XXXIX
of forty cents xier month for each month of service, whi.ch sums he is
required to j)^j to the collector of customs at certain specified times,
accomxianied by a true statement of the number of men and the length
of service of each man since last payment of hospital dues; and the
Secretary of the Treasury is authorized, to direct the preparation of
^^all needful regulations for the mode of collecting the samel"
It is claimed that these regulations, although modified in 1873, still
entail, in the character of the hosxiital-dues return, an onerous amount
of clerical labor on masters and owners, men. not accustomed to such
work; that much of the information is useless, as for example, the rank
and name of each seaman emxiloyed, the seaman's name being seldom
satisfactory evidence of his identit}^, while upon the western rivers the
return of the names is imxiracticable, the members of a crew often
changing more than once on a single trixi; and, finally, that as there is
no mode provided for verifying the account, there is every inducement
to make loose and inaccurate returns. These defects are thought to
be sufficient to account for the disxiarity between the sum actually
received and that authorized to be retained from the seamen's wages,
and, in consequence of which disxiarity, either the relief facilities must
fall short of the requirements or the Government make good the
deficiency
A more direct and. efficient mode of collection would be, it is conceived, by assessing dues according to a schedule of the average number of men required to safely navigate vessels of various sizes, rigs,
ahd kinds of traffic. This assessment could be readily verified by the
ship's xiapers, now required for other purposes. If Congress shall see
fit to so modify the act, it is believed the returns may be much simplified and the receipts correspondingly increased.
The chief xioints of interest in the administration of this service,
during the past year, are the continued reduction of the mortality
rate and of the average stay in hospital, both fairly attributable
to increased efficiency in the modes of suxiervision, resulting from
greater experience. To these causes is due, also, the important
economic result that a larger number of persons, admitted under more
rigid inspection, have been furnished all necessary relief, at a less cost
per man, and in the aggregate, to the Government, than in any xirevious year. A statement of the operations of the service during the
year, together with a comparative economic exhibit for a number of
years, will be found in the accompanying rexiort of the Suxiervising
Surgeon.
At San Francisco the new pavilion hospital is rapidly approaching
completion; aud, although the change from the site first selected may

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY" OF THE TREASURY.
make necessary some additional outlaj' to secure xiroxier drainage^
sewerage, &c., it is gratifying to know that the buildings will be completed for the sum originally a-ppropriated—a sum not exceeding oneseventh the average cost of the other hospitals of equal capacity now
owned by the Government. Early in Sexitember last, the hosxiital at
Pittsburg was vacated and turned over to the Supervising Architect
for sale, in accordance with the act of June 22, 1874. The sale, however, has not yet been effected, the highest price offered being considered by the Department inadequate. The needs and condition of
the other hospitals willbe found set forth in detail in the report of the
Supervising Architect; but the attention of Congress is respectfully
asked, in this connection, to the following considerations concerning
the maintenance of hosxiitals exclusively for seamen: Except at some
half dozen ports, there are at no time marine xiatients enough to
warrant maintaining a hosxiital staff and establishment. As a result,
the cost of relief in hosxiitals, maintained by the service at such xiorts,
is about twenty per cent, higher than the general average cost. I t
would be manifest economy to close all such hosxiitals and furnish
relief through municipal or private agencies under the supervision of
the service. This alternative, however, is not necessary. The hospitals
owned by the Government are generally of such a character, and so
eligibly located for general hospitals, that they may be advantageously
leased for such purposes. I t is recommended, after mature consideration of the subject, and as a measure in the best interests of the service, that authority be given, by statute, to lease any United States
marine hosxiital, xirovided the lessee shall furnish sufficient guaranty
for the proxier care of the marine patients ofthe xiort where such hospital
is located, under the supervision ofthe Department, and at a daily per
caxiita cost not to exceed fifty xier cent, of the average daily per capita
cost of the entire service for the year next preceding.
STEAMBOAT-INSPECTION SERVICE.
The rexiort of the Supervising Inspector General of Steamboats shows
thatthe average annual loss of life by accident to steam-vessels during
the four years preceding 1873, was 356, while for the year 1873 the loss
was 222, being a decrease of over thirty-seven per cent., and the loss of
ten lives only in 1873 resulted from explosions; the receipts from fees
for inspection and license, during the last fiscal year, exceeded those
of the years previous by $15,398 35, while the expenditures were only
$192 25 in excess of those ofthe xirevious year; the excess of receipts
over expenditures for the fiscal year was $52,38116.

.XLI
TERRITORY OF ALASKA—THE SEAL ISLANDS.
Under the xirovisions of the act of Axiril 22, 1874, authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to axipoint a person qualified by experience
and education to visit the trading stations and Indian villages in the
territory of Alaska, seal islands, and the large islands in Behring Sea,
to collect authentic information relating to.the varied interests of the
Government in that territory and the adjacent regions, Mr. Henry W.
Elliott was designated as a special agent for that purxiose. The report
presented by him to the Department as the result of his labors contains
a comprehensive statement of the character of the country; the condition of the natives; the x^Tcsent state of the seal and other fisheries;
and the trade of the territor^^; with minute descriptions of the haunts
and habits of the seal and other fur-bearing animals, as also many valuable suggestions in regard to the management of the natives, the
Xireservation of the seal fisheries, and the economical collection of the
revenue.
No more 'satisfactory exhibit of the condition of the territory and of
its probable resources has hitherto been xiresented to the Dexiartment.
The Government has derived an income from the tax on seal-skins
and from the rent of the fur-seal islands, since the acquisition of the
territory, as follows:

THE LOUISVILLE AND PORTLAND CANAL.
In pursuance of the direction contained in section 2 of the actof
May 11, 1874, entitled^^ An act providing for the payment of the bonds
of the Louisville and Portland Canal Company," Mr. E. W. Tayler,
First Comiitroller of, the Treasury, was instructed to xiroceed to Louisville, Kentucky, to make the examination authorized by that section.
His report, hereto appended, shows in what manner his instructions
were carried out and the result of his examination.
- I t was ascertained that the company was indebted to its treasurer in
the sum of $307 81, which has since been paid. There are outstanding
bonds of the company amounting to $1,172,000, bearing six x^er cent,
interest, Iiayable semi-annually—January 1 and J u l y l in each year.
These bonds will mature July, 1876, July, 1881, and July, 1886. No
XLII

other debts were found to exist against the company, nor in their favor
from the directors, the trustees under the mortgage, or other persons.
The five shares of stock held by the directors have been transferred to
the United States, and the value thereof, including interest, amounting
to $813 50, has been paid at the Treasury. Public notice was given to
the holders of the bonds to present the coupons due July 1, 1874, at
the office of the Assistant Treasurer in New York for payment, and, of
the $35,160 due on that day, $34,920 have been xiaid. Coupons to the
amount of $390, xiast due at that time, but not xireviouvsly presented,
have since been x)aid at the Treasury.
DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF THE FIVE P E R CENT. EARNINGS OF PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANIES.
By the sixth section of the act axixiroved July 1, 1862, to aid in the
construction of the Pacific Eailroad, and subsequent legislation, the
Central, Union, Central Branch of the Union, Sioux Cit}^ and Pacific,
Kansas, and Western Pacific Eailroad Comxianies are required, from
the date of the comxiletion of their several roads, to x>ay the United
States five per centum of their annual net earnings. Congress, at its
last session, by an act approved June 22, 1874, directed the Secretary
of the Treasury to demand of the treasurer of each of said comxianies
all sums due to the United States, and in default of payment for
sixty days thereafter, to certify that fact to the Attorney General, who
is required thereupon to institute such legal xiroceedings as may be
found necessary to enforce xiayment thereof.
The law, in the opinion of the Secretary, contemxilates that demands
shall be made for specific sums based upon the net earnings of each
road from its completion, and, for this purxiose, he has assumed that
the completion in each case, in the absence of more definite information., dates from the issue of the last instalment of bonds bythe United
States, under the act of July 1, 1862.
The 20th section of this act required the companies to make annual
reports to the Secretary of the Treasury, which, if made, would show
their annual net earnings, but by subsiequent legislation they were
directed to make this report to the Secretary of the Interior. They
have not, however, as it appears, fully complied with this requirement.
Upon correspondence with the Secretary of the Interior, it. is ascer^
tained that their reports were so imperfect as not to disclose the net
earnings of the several companies. A demand was thereupon made
b}^ the Interior Dexiartment uxion each of the comxianies for an immediate statement of its net earnings from a date specified to and including the xiresent year, but such reports have not been furnished.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY' OF THE TREASURY.
XLIII
Having delayed a reasonable time to give the companies an oxiportunity to furnish, the desired information, and failing to receive it,
resort was had to such other means of information as were within
reach, namely, to the annual rexiorts of the xiresidents of said comxianies to stockholders, and such further statements relating to the fiscal
affairs of the several comxianies as have from time to time been given to
the general xiublic. Uxion information derived from these sources, estimates have been made approximating as nearl}^ as xiracticable,the net
earnings of said companies respectively, and demands have been made
for the payment of the amounts thus ascertained. Demand in writing
has been served xiersonally uxion the treasurer of each comxiany.
The agregate amount now due from all the companies upon the best
data at hand, closely approximates three million dollars.
Should payment not be niade within sixty days the matter will be
reported to the Attorney General in conformity to the requirement of
the act of June 22, 1874.
REDEMPTION AGENCY FOR NATIONAL BANKS.
If Congress shall deem it expedient to continue the xiresent system
of redemption of national-bank notes, it is recommended that the number and comxiensation of the employes in the division organized under
the act of June 20, 1874, be fixed by law, and their appointment vested
in the head of the Dexiartment, in accordance with the constitutional
provision.
BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.
Careful consideration of the manner of preparing the bonds, notes,
and stamps issued by the United States, has led to the conclusion that
the work can be more satisfactorily and safely done in the Treasury
Department than elsewhere. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing
is now supplied with the best machinery, which has been acquired at
great cost, and the most skilful artists are emxiloyed by the Government without difficulty. The system of checks now in use in that
bureau, together with the special xiaper heretofore adopted by the
Dexiartment, furnish all xiroper and reasonable protection against
duplication and other frauds.
It is, therefore, recommended that provision be made by law for
Xireparing all securities, stamps, checks, drafts, &c., issued by the
United States, in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing now attached
to this Department, and that the cost thereof be regulated by law from
time to time.
XLIV
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF TIIE
TREASURY.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The report of the Suxiervising Architect shows the xiresent condition
of the x^iiblic buildings under the charge of this Dexiartment. The
demands upon *the time of the Secretaiy are such that he can give
little attention to the progress of such buildings; so that, practically,
the responsibility and duty of devising plans, making contracts, and
suxierintending the construction and rexiairs of such buildings devolve
upon the Supervising Architect. Careful revision of the acts heretofore passed authorizing the construction of public buildings', is recommended, with a view to curtailing the cost of some and suspending
others, which, it is believed, may be done without detriment to the
public service. By this means there can be effected a saving of considerable sums of money which, under existing axipropriations, will be
exxiended during the current and ensuing fiscal years. Public buildings, xilain and simxile in design, constructed of substantial and durable
material, as nearly fire-xiroof as may be, and adaxited to the convenient
and xiroxier transaction of the X3ublic business, should be xirovided at
all places where they are requisite, from time to time, as the condition
of the revenues may xiermit, but the present is not a favorable time
for makin'g large approxiriations for this xiurpose, and much that is now
contemxilated may be xiostponed without serious inconvenience.'
CLAIMS FOR PROCEEDS OF COTTON.
The fifth section of the act of May 18, 1872, directs the Secretary
of the Treasury to ^£ij to the lawful owners or their legal representatives the net proceeds, actually paid into the Treasury, of all cotton
seized after the 30th day of June, 1865, by the agents of the Government unlawfully and in violation of their instructions.
The number of bales of cotton seized after that date, the proceeds
of which reached the Treasury, was about 50,000, and the net proceeds
thereof, averaging the same at $100 per bale, was $5,000,000. The
number of claims filed under this act was 1,336; the whole number of
bales claimed is 136,877, the net xiroceeds of which, at $100 per bale,
would be $13,687,700. v It is well known that a large nuniber of persons
from whom cotton was seized have made no claim whatever. Under
these circumstances the magnitude of the aggregate of claims xiresented
is worthy of attention.
I13, collecting the cotton to which it was suxixiosed the Governnient
was entitled, after June 30, 1865, various instructions were given from
time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury to the agents of the
Department, and in different forms as occasion for them arose. Some

of these were issued as general regulations apxiroved by^the President,
some as circulars to general and supervising special agents to be by •
them communicated to their subordinates, and, in a few cases of emergency, explanatory letters were sent by the Secretary to individual
agents. These, however, were generally in harmony, and were usually
communicated in writing, or orally, to all agents, so that their action
might be uniform.
Of the claims presented to the Department, 650 have been subinitted
for decision, and acted on as follows:

26, 338, 244 73
In exercising the authority given by the act of May 18, 1872, the
Department has felt bound by the plain letter of that act to reject all
claims where the seizure was not in violation of both the law and- the
instructions. Doubtless hardshixi has resulted in some cases from this
rule of decision; but the Secretary has not felt at liberty to depart
from the letter of the statute in order to avoid hardships in xiarticular
cases.
In the consideration of these claims, complicated and difficult
questions of law and fact are frequently encountered. The instructions
of the Department to its agents required the seizure of all cotton found
on the Confederate cotton lists as proxierty of the rebel government.
These lists include considerable amounts of cotton which, it is claimed,
the owners did not sell to the so-called Confederate States, as well as
some which it is averred was sold under duress; some by xiersons
claiming to be agents for the OAvners, but whose agency is denied; and,
in still other cases, it is claimed that the sales are void because made
by fiduciaries without requisite authority, and in violation of State
statutes. In disposing of these questions the Department necessarily
acts in most instances on ex parte xiroofs, which are often most unsatisfactory, even where made with no purpose to defraud.
It is submitted for the consideration of Congress that the Treasury
Department is not a suitable tribunal for the ultimate decision of such
questions. They belong more properly to the courts, which are armed
with power to ascertain the truth, -and are bettfer organized for this
Xiurx"^ose than an Executive Department of the Government.

N O T E . — I t will be seen t h a t the increase of the principal of the public debt, as shown by this statement, appears to be $17,207,475.23. Congress, by act of J u n e 8,1872, (17 Statutes,
336,) provided t h a t national b a n k i n g associations might deposit United States l«gal-tender notes in the T r e a s u r y of the United States and receive therefor certificates of deposit bearing
no interest, and t h a t the notes so deposited should be set a p a r t and held as a special deposit for the redemptiou of said certificates. T h e certificates outstanding on the 1st day of J u l y ,
and included in the outstanding principal of the debt, amounted to $58,760,000, and the notes held as a special deposit for their redemption were included in the cash balance in the
T r e a s u r y on t h a t day. I t will be seen, therefore, t h a t while these certificates, as a matter of accounts, are treated as a p a r t of the public debt, they do not in reality form a n y portion of
it, in the usual sense of the w o r d , for the reason t h a t no revenue is required to be provided for their p a y m e n t ; the notes which they represent always being in the Treasury as a special
deposit for their redemption, and those notes being inchided in the outstanding legal-tender notes. Omitting these certificates of deposits as offset b y the notes held on deposit for their
redemption, the actual reduction of the principal of the debt w a s $41,552,524.77.

accounts has xirogressed.

more outstanding and unpaid principal by the debt-statement aud b y Tables F and 0 thau by t h e
receipts, a n d expenditures, T a b l e s G aud H.
This difference of $116,105,081.45 is thus e x p l a i n e d : T h e following stocks w e r e issued in p a y m e n t of
various debts and clairas, but in the transaction no money ever came into the Treasury.
W h e n the
stock matured, it w a s paid out of the general funds then in the T r e a s u r y . This showed an e x p e n d i t u r e
where there had been no corresponding receipt, and, of course, a statement of the debt made from the
receipts and expenditures on account of loans and T r e a s u r y notes would not be correct, unless these
items were added to the receipt side of the account. Tbis cannot be done until legislation has been
had authorizing i t :
French farmers-general loan
F r e n c h loan of eighteen million livres
Spanish loan of 1781
French loan of ten million livres

iThe following amounts represent the discounts suffered iu placing the loans named.
Only the money actually received w a s covered into the T r e a s u r y . ^ T h e difference be• tween this and the face-value of the stock issued was the discount.
To make the
'receipts and 'expenditures on the loan-accounts correct, these discounts should be
• credited to the loans as receipts and charged to a discount account. This also requires
leigislation to en.able it to be done :

Which is the resultant error arising out of the differences yet to be discovered and reconciled. T h e full details of this item can only be given after the accounts have all beeu
examined and corrected, and the amount of it may be increased or diraiuished w h e n
the examination of the domestic debt of the Revolution shall have shown w h a t its
true amount is. This examination is still being continued, for the purpose of perfecting

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
F I R S T COMPTROLLER'S O F F I C E ,
Nove7nber 20,1874:,
S I R : In compliance with the instractioiis contained in your letter of
J u n e 4, 1874, a copy of which is hereto appended, I arrived in LouiS:
ville, Ky., June 14, where I was joined the next morning by Mr. John
E. Garrison, of this Office, and Mr. James B. Cleveland, of the First Auditor's Office, who had been detailed to assist in the examination to be
made ofthe accounts and financial condition ofthe Louisville and Portland Canal Company. During the morning, in company with Colonel
Wharton, the Uuited States district attorney, who had been instructed
by the Attorney-General to give such aid as we might need, we called
at the office of the company, where we met Mr. Joshua F. Speed, president 5 Mr. J. H. Ehorer, secretary; Mr. J. W. Henuing, treasurer; and
Capt. .Enoch Lbckhart, superintendent, who, with Mr. John Caperton,
then absent, constituted the board of directors of the company. Each
of these gentlemen expressed entire willingness to furnish us all the information in their possession, and a desire to close their connection with
the a.ffairs of the company as early as practicable; and .we proceeded at
once to the examination, and continued it, without interruption, during
business-hours until noon of June 24.
.
Major Weitzel, as I learned, took possession of the canal and other
property of the company at midnight of June 10, and had returned to
Detroit, having placed Captain Adams, of the Engineer Corps, in charge.
A copy of Major WeitzeFs receipt for the property is hereto appended.
During the year 1867, under instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury, an examination of the affairs of the company was made by Mr. W.
D. Gallagher, whose report bears date June 24, of that year, and includes
the accounts to that date. That report constitutes House jkiscellaneous
Document No. 83 of the Fortieth Congress.
I did not deem it advisable or necessary to re-examine the accounts
embraced in Mr. Gallagher's examination, which appeared to have been
thorough, and which I had no reason to doubt was accurate; but, inasmuch as that report closed with the 24th of June, our examination:
extended back to January 1, 1867, so as to cover the whole fiscal year.
Under date of June 11, 1873, Mr. Gallagher made another report to
the Secretary of the Treasury on the management and affairs of the company.
The two reports of Mr. Gallagher enter so fully into the history and
management of the company that it is not necessary nor advisable for
me to repeat them, or do more than state the annual receipts and disbursements and the financial condition of the company at the date of
the transfer of the property to the United States.
I received from the secretary of the company, in print, a copy of the
several annual reports of the directors, from the year 1826 to the year
4F
50
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
1871, both inclusive, which I transmit herewith for your informatioD
and for the files of the Department.
The examination made of the accounts was thorough and careful; the
accounts of the treasurer were compared with the toll-sheets of the collector, and each disbursement was verified by the vouchers; the accounts
of the treasurer were compared with those of the secretary, and the computations and footings of both examined. The treasurer's accounts,
showed a balance of $405.98 due to him, which, by the correction of a
few errors in footings, was reduced to $307.81. This balance has since
been paid to Mr. Henning, the treasurer, and his accounts are closed.
A letter froin the Hon. James Speed, a copy of which is hereto appended,
shows the state of some litigation in which the company was involved,
from which some expenses may arise. I could not learn that any other
debts remained unpaid, and I believe that none exist aside from' the
bonded debt.
Each of the five directors owned one share of the stock of the comI)any of the nominal value of $100, which, with the interest as authorized
by the act of May 11,1874, $313.50, aggregated the sum of $813.50, which
has been paid at the Treasury, and the stock has been transferred, so
that th e entire stock, consisting of ten thousand shares, isnow the property of the United States.
The bonded debt ofthe company originally consisted of $1,597,000 in
bonds of $1,000 each, issued in four series, the first payable July 1^
1871; the second, J u l y l , 1876; the third, J u l y l , 1881; and the fourth,
July 1, 1886, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per ceut. per annuni^
payable semi-annually, January 1 and July 1, in each year. The first
serie was numbered from 1 to 398, inclusive; the second series was
numbered from 401 to 800, inclusive; the third series was numbered
from 801 to 1200, inclusive; the fourth series was numbered from 1201
to 15 99, inclusive, except that number 921 was not issued, and number
1468 was duplicated, making two of that number issued.
The whole of the first series has been redeemed, as have also twentyseven of the second series, leaving outstanding of the entire issue
$1,172,000.
The bonds redeemed and the coupons paid during the period covered
by our examination were received and transmitted by me to the DeI)artment. The coupons previously paid have since beeu received at the
Department, and, with those previously received, amount to $885,300.
A large portion of the first series was purchased previous to maturity
at a discount, as Avere those belonging to the second series, and the
coupons not due at the dates of the purchases remain attached to the
bonds.
In addition to the receipt and disbursement of the revenues of the
company, the directors, on their personal credit, borrowed various sums
of money, in the aggregate amounting to $304,420.50, which they exj)ended in the purchase of bonds and in the payment of interest when
the ordinary revenues were deficient.
The last of these loans had been repaid at the date of the surrender
of the canal to the United States.
Our examination brought us to the conclusion that the revenues had
been promptly collected and the liabilities paid without unnecessary
delay; that the expenditures were within the iDOwers and discretion of
the board of directors; and that no inoney is due to or held for the
company by the directors or by the trustees under the mortgage.
The following table exhibits the amounts annually received and
expended by the directors: .

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Washington, D. C, June 4, 1874.
^ SIR : Referring to that portion of section 2 of the act entitled "An act providing for
the payment of the bouds of the Louisville and Portland Canal Company," approved
May l i , 1874, which authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to cause a
careful and full examination of all the receipts and disbursements of the said company to
be made, and to collect, and, if necessary, to sue for, any money due to or held for the
said company by tbe directors of said company, or the trustees under a certain mortgage mentioned iu said act, or by any xierson whatever, you are respectfully requested
to proceed to Louisville, Ky., for the purpose of conducting said examination, and rer
porting to me the result.
It is my desire particulary that you should report to me the precise status of the company, with regard to its liabilities and assets, a't the time the War Department takes
possession of its property.
Any assistance you may require will be furnished you, upon your notifying the Department as to the character of assistance needed.
Maj. Godfrey Weitzel, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., has been appointed by the honorable'the Secretary of War for the purpose of making the necessary arrangments for
taking possession of the canal, &c.. I think you will find him pretty thoroughly posted
as to the history of the company, and have no doubt but that he cau and, if you desire
it, will aid you much in your investigations.
A copy of the act of May 11,1874, is herewith inclosed.
I am, very respectfully,
B. H. BRISTOW,
Secretary.

R. W.

REPORT OF T H E
SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
53
LouiSAaLLE, K Y . , June, 1874.
Received for and in behalf of the United States of America, frora the directors ofthe
Louisville and Portland Canal Company, the following real and personal property pertaining to said canal, viz:
Louisville and Portland Canal, with real estate, as per deeds furnished.
1 steam tow-boat, (Walker Morris,) complete.
2 steam-dredges, complete.
4 mud-scows.
1 barge.
3 horses.
1 cart.
.
1 wagon, spring.
1 wagon, Jersey.
1 buggy.
3 sets of harness.
1 diving-armor.
1 blacksmith-shop.
1 car pen ter-shop.
1 iron safe.
G. WEITZEL,
Major of Engineers.
LOUISVILLE, June 6, 1874.
SIR : Under my care, as attorney for the. company, are the following cases : .
xi claim in the federal court against the steamboat Camelia (Colonel Wharton, the
district attorney, is familiar with the case, and will have no difficulty in getting the
money npon distribution.)
A suit of .Campbell's Heirs vs. The Company, in the Louisville chancery court. There
is a demurrer in, and the case briefed. Plaintiffs' attorneys have ]3romised me repeatedly to dismiss thfe suit. There is nothing in it.
In the common pleas court there is the case of Murphy vs. The Canal Company, and
Needy vs. The Same; the first case before Judge Stiles, on the submission of a motion;
the second recently brought. There is, I think, no danger in either case. They should
be watched, however.
. I have instructed the clerks to send in all fee-bills against the company to date.
Though I see but little danger from these cases, the Government should take charge
of them and save the company from loss, in the event I am mistaken.
Respectfully,
JAMES SPEED,
Per B.
The PRESIDENT of the Louisville and Portland Canal Company.

WRECKS AND CASUALTIES REPORTED TO HAVE OCCURRED ON AND NEAR
THE COASTS i N D RIVERS OF THE UNITED STATES DURING TEN YEARS,
FROM JULY 1, 1863, TO JUNE 30, 1873. »
The following tables, relating to disasters to shipping during
the ten 3^ears from July 1, .1863, to June 30, 1873, are compiled from
copies of records obtained from underwriters, wreck-commissioners,
superintendents of life-saving stations, officers of the customs, lighthouse keepers, and all other available sources. These records, which
give the name'^of each vessel and other particulars not included in the
tables, have been carefully examined and compared, and the information
obtained from them has been arranged and filed in the Department, so
as to be readily referred to for the particulars of any disaster.
Although it is probable that the Department has failed to obtain information of some disasters which occurred during the period mentioned, it is believed that the number reported closely approximates
the actual number, and that such statistics as are given in the following tables are substantially correct.
As the information received from different localities Avas obtained
from persons having diverse motives in preserving records of marine
disasters, it will be found that some important statistics are lacking.
For instance, statistics of insurance are wanting'as respects the Atlantic
coast and the rivers, while upon the lakes it is not shown how many of
the casualties resulted in totalloss to vessels and cargoes and howmany in
partial damage, but the amounts of loss and insurance are generally given.
Disasters to vessels employed by the armies in the late war are not
included in the tables.

ABSTRACTS OF RETURNS MADE BY OFFICERS OF THE CUSTOMS, OF WRECKS
ANI) CASUALTIES TO VESSELS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED ON AND NEAR
THE COASTS AND ON THE RIVERS OF THE UNITED STATES, AND TO AMERICAN VESSELS ON THE COASTS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES, DURING THE
FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1874.
The folio wing tables relating to disasters which have occurred daring
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1874. are compiled from the returns
made by customs officers in compliance with instructions contained in a
circular issued from the Department August 2, 1873.
Great pains have been taken to obtain as complete information regarding every casualty as was possible, and the statistics will be found
to be generally quite full and accurate. These tables include disasters
to American vessels on the coasts of foreign countries, so far as reported,
as well as those to foreign vessels which have occurred upon the coasts
of the United States.

REPORT ON T H E
FINANCES.
June 30, 1874, were $102,644,746.98, exceeding my estimate.by $2,644,746.98. This amount includes sums refunded and allowed on drawbacks.
My estimate of the receipts for the current fiscal year, under the
present law, is $107,000,000.
DRAWBACK.
The following is a statement of the amount of drawback allowed
during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1873 and 1874:

...
$1 380 20

From the above statement it appears there was a net decrease in the
amount of drawback allowed during the last fiscal year, as compared
Avith that of the year preceding, of $16,857.OOj being a.decrease of
$33,700.20 on spirits, and an increase of $5,400.90 on tobacco, and
§11,428.30 on general merchandise.
No spirits were exported for the benefit of drawback duiing the year
ended June 30, 1874, and the quantity of tobacco exported .for the benefit of drawback is very slight in comparison witb the quantity exported
in bond. It is evident, therefore, that, where the privilege of exportation before the payment of tax has been accorded, exporters have availed
themselves of such privilege almost to the exclusion of that authorizing
exportation for the benefit of drawback.
The amounts refunded duriug the last two fiscal years for taxes illegally assessed and collected were—

Net aggregate decrease, $2,655,281.93.
The above statement shows that, while there was a very considerable
increase in the tax on spirits withdrawn from bond and on export spiritstamps; there was quite a large falling off in the Receipts from brandy,
the special taxes of dealers and rectifiers, stamps other than tax-paid
stamps, and certain sources repealed by act of June 6, 1872.
The decrease in the tax on brandy is owing in great part to the partial
failure o f t h e fruit-crop in 1873. A glance at the receipts from this
source for the last four years exhibits the fluctuation to which this species of tax is subject. Thus, in 1870, the returns on brandy were
$611,915; in 1871,'$1,236,006; in 1872, $544,849; in 1873, $2,014,646,
and in 1874, $536,681. The annual product varies with the annual yield
of fruit from which it is distilled.
The apparent loss in the special taxes of dealers and rectifiers is due '
to the fact that, since the adoption of the system of paying special taxes
by stamps, these taxes have been collected a little earlier each succeeding.year. Formerly, a large part of these taxes were returned in July
aud August; scarcely any before May 1, when they became due. 1:^0w,
the time of payment is, to a large extent, anticipated, as the following
figures will show: In April, 1872, the receipts from special taxes uow
on the tax-list were $144,573 ; about the average of the receipts for three
or four months previous, lu Ax3ril, 1873, they increased to $566,988,
and in April, 1874, to $2,139,030. Thus, $422,416 more were returned
in April, 1873, and $1,994,457 more in April, 1874, than in April, 1872;
and collections which were formerly made in the first quarter of the
fiscalyear are now returnedin thelastquarter of theyear immediately preceding it. This being the case, a more correct method probably of ascer
taining theincrease or decrease of the receipts from special taxes would be
by a comparison by special-tax years. SucLi a comparison of the receipts
from rectifiers and dealers in liquors for the special-tax years ended
ApriL30,1873 and 1874, shows that, instead of there being a decrease of
$964,137, as api^ears from a comx:)arison by fiscal years in the aibove
table, there was an actual increase of $799,413 from those two sources
alone. What is here said concerning the special taxes of rectifiers and
dealers is also applicable to all other special taxes, the aggregate amount
of which returned in the special-tax year 1874 was $1,672,388 more than
the amount returned in the precediug special-tax year.
The act of June 6,1872, so far as it relates to spirits, did not go iuto
operation until August 1, 1872. During one entire month, then, of the
fiscal year 1873 the value of warehouse, rectifiers^ and dealers' stamps was
25 cents each, instead of 10 cents, their present value under the abovenamed act. This accounts, wholly or in part, for the decrease in revenue
from this source. Certain spirit-taxes were repealed August 1, 1872,
some of which, assessed at that time, were not collected prior to the
last fiscal year. Two million two hundred and ninety-four thousand
nine hundred and fifty-nine dollars less were received from those sources '
in 1874 than in 1873.'

than was iu warehouse June 30, 1873, the quantity in warehouse at that

year the demand for distilled spirits has been active, and the quantity
witjidrawn from warehouse upon payment of tax has exceeded the quantity deposited, so that the balance remaining in warehouse September 30,

1874. The good prices obtained for spirits in the home market has had
the effect of diminishing the exportations during the same period, so
that whereas the quantity removed from warehouse for export and unaccounted for June 30, 1874, as shown by the above statement, was
2,145,010 gallons, the quantity remaining unaccounted for September

snuff, and cigars, in all their forms, of $33,242,875.62; and showing, as
compared with the previous fiscal year, a decrease of $1,143,427.47.
As compared with the fi.rst quarter of the preceding fiscal year, the
collections made for the first quarter of the last fiscal year show a"
decrease to the amount of $1,537,423.60. This decrease was not unexpected, owing to the large quantities of tobacco put upon the market in
consequence of the closing out of the bonded warehouses by the ^ct of
June 6,1872, and the increased stimulant given for two or three months
to the movement of ]3lug-tobacco by the adoption of the uniform rate of
tax at 20 cents per pound by the same act. The decrease during the
second quarter, amounting to $1,144,607.53, all of which took place
during the months of October and November^ 1873, was undoubtedly the
result of the financial disturbance of the country. The loss in collections
during the two months named was $1,440,781.73. But from the month
of November, 1873, up to the present time, there has been a steady
increase of collections from this source over any previous corresponding
period. The largest amount ever collected in any one quarter from
tobacco was collected during the first quarter ofthe current fiscal year,
which reaches the sum of $10,162,954.35. Should corresponding relative collections continue to be made for the remaining three quarters,
the receipts from this source will aggregate for the current fiscal year,
in round numbers, $36,000,000.

excess ofthe number on which taxes were collected the previous fiscal
year by 79,662,852. This number, however, does not show the actual
production ofthe country for the time speciilied, inasmuch as there are
included in this number the imported cigars which paid an internalrevenue tax in addition to the impost duty.
EXPORTATION OF MANUFACTURED TOBACCO.
The quantity of tobacco shown by the records of the Internal Eevenue
Office to have beeu removed without the payment of tax, for exportation to foreign countries, was—

This is in excess of the total quantity exported during ttie previous
fiscal year by 727,783 iDouuds.
From the preceding figures and comparative statements, it will be
seen that while the collections from tobacco show a falling off as compared with the previous fiscal year, the actual production of manufactured tobacco was in excess of any previous year by over two millions
of pounds, and the exportation to foreign countries was in excess of
any previous year by nearly three-quarters of a million pounds.
Upon the whole, the results for the year are highly satisfactory, and
indicate a prosperous condition of this great branch of national industry, and show it to be a reliable source of revenue to the National
Treasury, even duriug a season of general busiuess depression.
But to secure the best results from the tax now imposed by law upon
manufactured tobacco, snuff', and cigars, it is indispensably necessary
so to control the movements of raw or leaf tobacco as not to allow its
' direct consumption to diminish the demand for manufactured tobacco.
The enactment ofthe several leaf-clauses in the act of June 6, 1872,
while they most effectually accomplish this object, do not at all interfere with the sale, transfer, or shipment of leaf tobacco for the ordinary
purposes of trade and commerce. I therefore strongly urge the continuance of said leaf clauses Avithout amendment or alteration.

THE NEW SYSTEM.
At the time the last annual report was prepared the system inaugurated by the act of December 24, 1872, by which the ofiice of assessor
was abolished and the Commissioner authorized and required to make
the various inquiries, determinations, and assessments of taxes, had been
in operation only .five months. Certain beneficial results besides the
great annual saving in salaries ($1,600,000) had already been obtained,
such as an increase iu the receipts from special taxes. It was observed,
also, quite unexpectedly, that the receipts of collectors for their lists
reached this Office earlier than when prepared by the local assessing
officers.
^
The additional beneficial results which have become apparent during
ttie past yeav have^been sufficient, taken in connection with those
already observed, to establish the fact beyond a doubt that the system
has secured returns from tax-payers more fully and promptly than heretofore, and consequently a larger amount of tax and a more prompt
payment thereof. These facts will more fully appear from the statenients subjoined, showing the relative assessments and collections during corresponding periods in 1872, 1873, and 1874.
The amounts assessed during the last special-tax year, commenced
May 1, 1873, aud ended April 30, 1874, were as follows:
Tax on deficiency in the production of distilled spirits
Deposits, capital, and circuhition of banks, &c
Distilled spirits seized or fraudulently removed
.
Fermented liquors removed from brewery unstaniped
Tobacco, snuff, and cigars removed from manufactory unstamped
Proprietary articles removed from manufactory unstpomped
Assessed penalties
Legacies and successions
Other taxes, omitted to be assessed b}^ assessors
Unassessed and unassessable penalties, interest, taxes previously abated,
conscience-money, and deficiencies in bonded accounts which have
been collected; also fines, penalties, and forfeitures paid to collector
by order of court or by order ofthe Secretary, and amounts of penalties and interest received for validating unstamped instruments

• 403, 013 22
It is believed, that this increase may, in a great degree, be fairly
attributed to the new system of assessment, as the period in which the
increase occurs includes the fall of 1873, memorable for the great
financial disasters which occurred at that time. This opinion is further
sustained from the circumstance that during this year more than seventy
banks have been for the first time assessed, although doing business
and liable to be assessed during previous years.
The improvement is still more apparent in the collection of special
taxes. The amount collected from this source was, during, the last
quarter of the fiscal year 1872, $3,303,539.83; during the last quarter of
the fiscal year 1873, when the new system was first applied, $5,336,076.49';
and during the last quarter ofthe fiscal year 1874, $5,855,581.36; showing an increase in the last quarter of the iiscal vear 1874 over tlie corresponding periods of 1873 and 1872 of $519,504.82 and $2,552,041.50
respectively.
'
.
^ .
•
A similar result has been experienced in the collection of taxes troin
all other assessable sources. While thus the new system has led to a
steady increase of collections, it has also tended to make these collec-^
tions more prompt and regular.
By the act of June 6, 1872, the tax imposed upon banks and bankers
is assessable on the first day of June and December respectively, and
is payable semi-annually. The collections from this source, exclusive
of the tax on savings banks, which has since been reduced by law, was,
in the months of December, 1872, and January, 1873, $1,033,'669.57; the
amount assessed for the preceding half-year, ,$1,585,840.67, showing
that in the first two months after the tax became due 65.18 x)er cent, of
the total amount assessed was collected, while under the new system
the collections in June and July, 1873,. were $1,205,790.52 from a semiannual assessment of $1,498,795.45, giving a rate of 80.45 per cent, for
the first two months; and in December, 1873, and Jauuary, 1874, we
have a collection of $1,587,747.42, from an assessment of $1,928,216.33,
increasing the rate of collections to 82.34 per cent.
The law provides for the payment of special taxes on or before the
first day of May of each year.
The collections of special taxes duringthe months of April, May, and
June were as follows:

REPORT ^ON THE FINANCES.
MISCELLANEOUS.
For the past three years all spirit, tobacco, cigar, and beer stamps, with
the exception of the class denominated ^^strip-stamps," have been
printed in two colors, the borders, or tints, being printed by the Continental and ISTational Bank-ISTote Companies of New York, and the
second printing by the Bureau of Engraving ahd Printing of the Treasury Department. The strip stamps were also.printed by said Bureau.
The contracts with the ban]i-note companies having expired, it was
determined, after a full consideration o f t h e subject, to advertise for
13roposals for the printing of all the above stamps, and accordingly an
advertisement, dated July 21, 1874, was issued, and the bids w^ere
opened August 25, 1874.
The proposals submitted revealed the fact that, taking the issue of
stamps during the fiscal year ending June 30,1874, and the prices paid
to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and Continental and National
Bank-Note Companies for printing the same as bases, and having the
tints or borders printed b y t h e process known as " surface printing"
instead of by " plate printing '^ as heretofore, a saving might be effected
of about seventy-five thousaud dollars ($75,000) per annum. Contracts
were therefore made with the bank-note companies making the lowest
bids, and the work has been commenced.
It is suggested that inasmuch as a fully equipped Bureau of Engraving
and Printing is maintained by the General Government, that the head of
that office be required to submit estimates for the printing of all internal revenue stamps when bids for the same are advertised for, to be
opened and considered as are like bids by individuals or companies; or,
that the head of that Bureau be authorized and required, on requisition
by the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, to furnish all stamps necessary under the law, except proprietary and documentary. The latter
plan would seem to be the more convenient, inasmuch as the necessary
appropriations would all be made to the one Bureau, (Engravingand Printing.) It is greatly to be desired that Congress should make some posi^
tive provision in regard to this matter.
I respectfully call the attention of Congress to the recommendations
in my last annual report in relation to the pay of supervisors and collectors, and again urge that the rates therein proposed be provided for
by law, to apply to the current year and succeeding fiscal years.
House bill No. 3572, of the last session, provided in'several important
instances for the improvement of the internal revenue system, but unfortunately, in that respect, failed to pass the Senate. Several of those
provisions will be recommended again by this Office for adoption.
The total receipts from stamps on bank checks, &c., perfumery,
cosmetics, patent medicines, matches, &c., (being the remnants of what
was known under the revenue laws originally as documentary^ and proprietary stamps,) were for the last fiscal year $6,136,844.64. If Congress
should wish to abolish these remnants, and still are of the opinion that
the revenue could not be diminished with safety, an equivalent could be
had by increasing the tax on spirits 10 cents per gallon. This would
yield, estimating on the numberof taxable gallons produced during the
last fiscal year, $6,957,000.
An additional tax ou tobacco.of 4 cents per pound, estimating on a
corresponding basis, (excluding snuff*,) would yield $4,612,000.
Since the passage of the act of June 22, 1874, repealing so much of
the act of May 8,1872, as provides for the employment of persons to
assist the proper officers of the Government in discovering and collect

ing monej^s withheld, various parties have from time to time given information which they assert shows, or tends to show, that the persons
and corporations named bj^ them have withheld money belonging to the
United States as internal revenue tax. This informatiom has usually
been accompanied by a claim to the general reward of (not to exceed)
ten per cent, of the amount which may eventually be realized by the
Government, a reward offered under the authority of section 39 of the
act of J une 6, 1872, entitled ^'An act to reduce duties on imports, and
to reduce internal taxes, and for other purposes." The information
thus obtained has been furnished by this Office to the proper internal
revenue officers, with instructions to make a prompt investigation of
each case, and to take the steps necessary for the" collection of all
amounts ascertained to be due. The parties from whom it was obtained
have been referred to those officers and have been requested to give
them such further information on the subject as they may possess.
Some amounts have already beeu realized in this way; but a large majority of the cases reported are still undergoing investigation and are
in different stages of advancement. Taxes due under repealed laws
have, however, been collected to a considerable amount by the internal
revenue officers without the aid of other parties. The sum thus collected during the last fiscal year was something over $625,000. During
the first quarter of the present fiscal year there was collected over
$184,000, and further collections are continually being made.

THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
TREASURY^ D E P A R T M E N T ,
O F F I C E OF COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
Washington, N'ovemher 23, 1874,
SIR : I have the honor to submit for the consideration of Congress
in compliance with section 61 of the national bank act, the twelfth an
nual report of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Since my last annual report two bills relating to the national banking
system have passed Congress. The first bill provided—
That the maximum amouut of United States notes is hereby fixed at $400,000,000.
That forty-six millions in uotes for circulation, in addition to such circulation now
allowed by law, shall be issued to national banking associations uow organized and
Avhich mAy be organized hereafter, and such increased circulation shall be divstributed
among the several Slates as provided in section lof t h e a c t entitled ''An act to provide
for the redemptiou of the three per cent, temporary-loan certificates and for an iucrease
of national-bank uotes," approved July 12, 1870. And each national ba^nking. association now organized, or hereafter to be organized, shall keep aud maintain, as a
]Dart of its reserve required by law, oue fourth part of the coin received by it as interest on bonds of the Uuited States deposited as security for circulating notes or Governmeut deposits, and that hereafter only one-fourth of the reserve now prescribed by law
for national banking associations shall consist of balances due to au association available for the redemption of its circulatiug notes from associations in cities of redemption,
and upon which balances no interest shall be paid.
This act failed to receive the signature of the President, and did not
become a law.
The second act was approved, and went into operation June 20, 1874,
This act provides—
That the ainount of United States notes outstanding and to be used
as a part of the circulating-medium, shall not exceed the sum of three
hundred and eighty-two million dollars, which said sum shall appear in

The Secretary of the Treasury has, upon the request of the Comptroller, as provided in section 8 of the act of June 20,1874, issued circulars
to the assistant treasurers, designated depositaries, and national-bank
depositories of the United States, accompanied with a list of all banks
which have failed, and which have gone into voluntary liquidation,
directing them to assort and return for redemption -the notes of those
associations. The following table exhibits, by States, the-amount of

It is probable that of the notes of banks whose circulation is being
retired, a sufficient amount will be retiirned and destroyed to supply
all applications for new organizations for some months to come.
The Attorney-General, at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, has, since the passage of the act of June 20, 1874, given an
opinion, in which he holds that all circulating notes not withdrawn under the operation of that act, may be redistributed, as provided by the
previous acts 5 and that it is the duty of the Comptroller to make requisition at such times and in such amouuts as may be necessary for
the purpose of supplying banks that have been organized in States
which are deficient. Upon this point the Attorney-General says:
As applications are duly made for circulating notes, tbat is, tbe banks baving filed
their bonds and otherwise complied witb tbe requirements of law, tbe ComiDtroller is
to issue and deliver tbe notes to tbera, and tben is to *' proceed fortbwitb'^ to make requisitions upon tbe banks pointed out by tbe act, to withdraw and redeem of tbeir
circulation so much as is necessary to equal tbe issues previously made. It is probable tbat tbis course of proceeding would result temporarily in a greater amount tbaii
$354, 000,000 of circulating notes, were it not for tbe sums witbdrawn and redeemed
under tbe fourth and eigbtb sections of tbe a c t ; these sums are so large, tbat there is
little danger of overstepping the limit fixed, by law.
When the amounts withdrawn and destroyed under the fourth
and eighth sections of the act of June 20, 1874, referred to. by the

Comptroller to make requisition upon'banks organized in States having

of all banks having more than that amount; and secondly, by withdrawing from other banks having a circulation exceeding $300,000, their

^ The circulation of t h e S t a t e banks in the year 1862 has been obtained from page 210 of tke report of
the Secretary of the Treasury on th© condition of the banks at the commencement of the year 1863.
The returns from Delaware, Maryland, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky w^ere not complete. The
aggregate amount of State bank ck-culatiou i"epoit«d at that time was niuch greater than at any previous
period.
REDEMPTION.
The amount of legal-tender notes authorized is $385,000,000; the
amouut of national-bank notes, $354,000,000. The amount of legal-tender notes, under the act of June 20,, 1874, cannot be reduced, but muvSt
remain continually in circulation; the ainount of national-bank notes,
however, may be reduced at the pleasure of the banks. If the value of
the paper dollar be determined by the amount of such money in circulation, then the national-bank note is more valuable than the legale
tender note. The national-bank notes outstanding are secured by a
deposit of more than $385,000,000 of United States bonds, which are at
a premium of .more than 12 per ceut. If the U.nited States bonds
be not of sufficient value to pay the notes, the capital and surplus of
the banks, amounting to $622,000,000, as well as their entire assetsj
are available for that purpose. The stockholders are individually liahle
for the full amouut of their stock, in addition to the amount invested ih
such shares, and the United States guarantees the final payment of the
notes. There are, then;, absolute assets for more than three times the
132
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
amountof the national-bank notes outstanding, available for the redemption of these notes, and, in addition, the contingent liability, of the
shareholders and the guarantee of their final payment by the United
States. It is certain, therefore, that the demand ibr legal-tender notes
in exchange for national-bank notes is not based on the conviction that
the former are more valuable than the latter.
Individuals may desire to exchangee nationaibank notes for legaltender notes, for the purpose of obtaining a legal tender for the payment of debts. National banks may desire to exchange the notes of
other banks for legal-tender notes, either because, under the law, legaltender uotes m^j be held as a portion of their reserve, or for the.purpose of obtaining new notes in place of those which are soiled and
mutilated.
If an individual shall desire legal-tender notes for the purppse of
making a lawful tender of money, such notes can readily be pbtained
in any reasonable amount, without charge, of any of the two thousand
national banks which are located in the several cities and villages of the
Union.
The act of June 20, 1874, which provides for the redemption of
national-bank notes with legal-tender notes at the Treasury, also reduces the amount of legal-tender notes required for the reserves of the
banks more than $20,000,000, or about one-sixth of the entire amount
so required. It also fixes the amount of legal-tender notes at $382,000,000,
an increase of $26,000,000; the demand for legal-tender notes by the
banks being,-therefore, under the operation of that act, largely reduced,
while at^the same time the supjjly is increased.
The exchange of national-bank notes for new notes at the Treasury
is, therefore^ chiefly desirable on account of their mutilated condition.
The national banks have held in their vaults during the last five years
about one-third of the entire amount of legal-tender notes issued, while
the whole issue of national-bank notes has been continually in circulation. While, therefore, a large portion of the legal-tender iiotes has
been unused, or not in active circulation, the entire amount of the
national-bank notes has been performing the functions of currency.
These notes have therefore beconie worn out and mutilated, so that the
substitution of new notes therefor'has become necessary. .
Previous to the organization of the national-banking system, the Suffolk Bank, of Boston, compelled the redemption of the notes of the Kew
England banks at par, in Boston, by a system of assorting and returning the notes4;o the place of issue; and by a similar method, with the
aid of legislation, the notes of the State of-New York were redeemed
at the commercial center at a discount of one-fourth of 1 percent.
These notes were redeemed in specie funds, and their redemption was
frequently demanded because specie funds were more desirable, and,
being more desirable, the redemption was a source of profit, directly or
indirectly, to the redemption-agents. But there are now in circulation
morethan seven thousand different kinds of notes, issued by twenty-two
hundred national banks, amounting to $351,927,246, and the notes of
each denomination of all the banks are so nearly alike that the process
of assorting and redemption is too burdensome and expensive to be voluntarily undertaken by the banks at the commercial center. The act of
June 20, therefore, wisely provides for the renovation of the circulation,
the expense of transi)ortation and assorting to be at the expense of the
banks. The chief object of the law was the purification ofthe circuiatiou, rather than its redemption, in the proper sense of that word. If,
lor example, the bank circulation of New England, amounting to
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
133
$110,000,000, consisted of worn-out notes, and the bank-circuiatiou of
the Middle States, amounting to $124,000,000 of notes in good condition,
and if the law provided for the redemption of the notes of the New England States in the notes of the Middle States at the Treasury, and also,
that the notes ofthe banks in the Middle States should be counted as
a reserve by the New England banks when held by them, an exchange,
or redemption, so called, of circulating-notes would take place similar to
that uow in operation.
No real redemption can be expected so long as the amouut of notes
to be redeemed is less than the amountof notes in which they are to be
redeemed. If Congress should provide for the withdrawal of legaltender notes and for the issue of national-bank notes, as needed, in place
thereof when the amountof legal-tender notes should be reduced to, say
$300,000,000, the legal-tender notes would then be in demand; and in
proportion as they should be reduced in amount the demand for them
would increase, until, finally, when the amount of bank-notes issued
should be largely in excess of the amount of legal-tender notes outstanding, the national-bank notes would themselves be withdrawn at
certain seasons of the year, on aecount of the difficulty or expense of
obtaining lawful money with which to redeem them. The gold coin of the
country would then make its appearance in answer to the detnand for
an additional amount of lawful money, and specie payment would follow. Eedemption, in its proper sense, implies the exchange of a promise
to pay for the thing promised—namely, coin^ or its representative which
is convertible into coin on demand. The efiect of such redemption is to
confine banks of issue to a legitimate business, which is the discounting
of commercial paper. If banks of issue are obliged to pay their circulating-notes once in sixty or ninety days, they must discount such promissory-notes only as will certainly be paid within that time. If tlie payment of bank-notes be frequently demanded, banks of issue cannot safely
invest their capital in real-estate loans, in doubtful stocks or bonds, in
accommodation notes which require renewah or in loans on doubtful security, but must have their capital at all times invested in loans whi.ch
will be promptly paid at maturit}^ Such a condition indicates a healthful business, and promotes sound banking; and.the reduction of the
amount of legal-tender notes, accompanied with such increase of national-bank notes as may be required, will secure a i^roper system of redemption, render free banking practicable, and gradually restore specie
payments without necessarily decreasing the amount of the circulating
medium.
The Treasurer, on June 25th, last, issued a circular to the national
banks, requesting them to deposit 5 per cent, on their circulation with
him, as provided in section 3 of the act of June 20; and on the 1st day
of August nearly the whole amount (-$16,524,583) had been received,
since which time the banks have, with but few exceptions, promptly
responded to the requisitions of the Treasurer. Some delay occurred
in the office of the Treasurer at the outset, on account of a lack of
force and the difficulty of assorting, but the work of purifying the
currency is now iu successful operation, and. since the passage of the
act $19,773,220 of multilated notes have been delivered by the Treasurer
to the Comptroller for destruction.
Circulars have been issued to all the national banks,^ requesting them
to designate the denominations of new notes to be issued in place of
the notes destroyed, which new notes are promptly transmitted to the
banks immediately upon receiving notice from the Treasurer that he
has been reimbursed for the amount redeemed as required by law ; and

it is probable that duiing the next year about $120,000,000 wiH be
delivered to this Office for the same purpose, and new notes issued
therefor.
The redemption, or, more properly, tbe excbange of mutilated nationalbank notes for new issues will continue in large amounts until the
nationabbank notes shall have been rendered fit for circulation, i>vh,en
the demand for such exchange will depend almost entirely upon the
demand for legal-tender notes by the national banks as a reserve^
which demand, as has been seen,, has been largely reduced by the provisious of the new act.
The new notes are being issued with the charter-number conspicuously
printed upon them in two places, which will hereafter greatly Simplify
and^ lessen the labor of assorting them. Tn the course of about three
years the entire volume of national-bank notes will have been renewed,
after which, if the amount of legal tenders shall be reduced, a true system of redemption may be inaugurated, through which the notes w^ill
be assorted and returned to the place of issue by the banks at the commercial centers.
.
The following table exhibits the amount of mutilated notes returned
to this Office for destruction, yearly, during the twelve years since the
organization of the national banking system, from w^hieh it will be
seen that $185,354,386, or more than one-half of the whole amount outstanding, has been so returned for destruction, of which $167,520,535
has been destroyed during the last ^ve years:

RESERYE.
The national-bank act required that the national banks in New York
City should hold, in lawful money, an amount equal to at least 25 per
cent, of their deposits and circulation as a reserve-fund ; tbat the banks
in the other redeeming cities should also hold 25 per cent, of their
deposits and circulation as a reserve, but that '^each of such associations may keep one-half of its lawful-money reserve in. cash-deposits in
the city of New York.'^ Every other association was required 'Ho have on
hand, in lawful money of the United States, an ainount equal to at least;
15 per cent, of the aggregate amount of its notes in circulation and of
its deposits/' three-fifths of which amount could consist of balances due
from approved associations in the redemption cities. The act of June
20, 1874, repealed the provision requiring the national banks to hold
reserve upon circulation. It also provides that the national banks shall
at all times have on deposit in the Treasury of the United States,-in
lawful inoney, a sum equal to 5 per cent, of their circulation, to be held
and used for the redemption of such circulation, which amount is
authorized to be counted as a part of the lawful reserve on deposits;
the circulation ofthe banks to be redeemed only at the counter of the
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
135
bank and at the Treasury. The act abolished the agencies at which the
circulation had been previously redeemed; and a strict construction
of its provisions would require national banks, not located in the redemption cities, to hold in their own vaults the whole amount of their reserve,
except the 5 per cent, upon circulation which is to be kept on
deposit in the Treasury. The banks in the redemption cities are, however, still authorized ''to keep one-half of their lawful-money reserve in
cash-deposits in the city of New York." The bill which passed the House
dimng the last session provided " that sections thirty-one and thirtytwo of the national-bank act be amended by requiring that each of the
said associations shall keep its lawful-money reserve within its own
vaults at the place where its operations of discount and deposit are
carried on.'' This bill, as subsequently amended and passed by the
Senate, contained substantially the same provision, but it was finally
lost in the House and went to a conference committee, which committee
reported the present law, omitting the clause last quoted. It is true
that the act, as approved, abolishes the redemption agencies; but as
banks located in the redemption cities are still authorized by the act previously in force to hold one-half of their reserve in the city of New York,
the Comptroller construed the intent and ineaning of the act to be to
abolish the reserve on circulation, and to authorize the 5-per-cent. deposit
in the Treasury to be counted as a part of the reserve on deposits, the
remainder of the reserve to be held, as formerly, in the vaults of the
banks and with their reserve .agents, as provided by sections 31 and 32
of the national-bank act.
3ince the passage of the act two reports have been made by.the
national banks of the country; one on the 26th day of June, a few" days
after its passage, and the other on the 2d day of October.
The reports of the condition of the banks on October 2,1874, vShow
that the amountof lawful-money reserve required under the actof June
20^ 1874, was, for country banks, $43,800,033, of which $12,763,448 was
required to be kept on hand, and $115891,414 in the Treasury to redeem
circulation. .For banks in redemption cities the necessary reserve was
f 53,738,050, of which $25,019,991 was required to be keptjon hand, and
$3,698,078 in the Treasury to redeem circulation; and for banks in New
York City the reserve required was $51,155,072, of which $49,690,456
was required to be kept on hand, and $1,464,616 in the Treasury to
redeem cireolation. Under tbe act of June 20,1874, therefore, the whole
amount of legal-tender notes required to be held was: in the vaults of the
banks $87,473,895, and in the Treasury $17,054,108—in all $104,528,003.*
*Iif:" the amount and the distribution of the reservoB held hy the national banks under the national
bank act bad beeu in precise accordance with the i equirements and provisions thereof, the minimum of
(Cash. rfSserve releaeed under the operation of the act of Juue 20,1874, would be, on the basis of tlie figpres of the report for October 2, 1874: for New York City banks, 25 per cent, of their circnlation, or
f.6,322,94.5; for banks in otber redemption cities, 15| i^ev cent, of their circulation, or $11,207,103; and
for .country Jjanks, 7 13.32 per cent, of their circulation, or $17,338,041; in all, 1^34,868,089.
For example;: If a bank'"in Ifew York had a circulation of, say, $1,000,000, it held thereon, under tho
nataon.al-bank act, a reeer^^e of 25 per cent., or $250,000, all of which ie now released.
If" ^ b a n k in any of the otlier redemption cities had a circulation of, say, $400,000, it held a reserve of
25 per cent., ,or .$ 100,000, but only one-ti.alf of thi^, or $.50,000, on hand, while the other half could have
been deposifced in Jfew Yopk, ttie Ifew York bank holding 25 per cent, of this half as reserve. Now,
there is released the $50,000 ^eld on ha.ud, and in addition tjje 25 per cent, reserve which the New York
bank would have held for the deposit made with it, or 25 per ce»t. of $50,000, which being added to the
first'Uamed $.50,000 makes $62,500, or 15| per cent, of tlje circulation of the redemption city bank. *
If a country bank had a circulation of, say, $100,000, it held thereon a reserve of 15 per cent., or
$15,000, but only ^2-5 of this, or $6,000, on hand ; wljile the remaining 3.-5 could have been deposited in a
redemption city bank. Thie latter bank would haye held a reserve of 25 per cent, of the amount deposited, one-half cin hand, and one-lialf in New York, and on the last portion the New York bank in tui-n
would have held a reserve of 25 per cent.; so that there is now released the 6 per cent., or $6,000, held
on hand by the country bank, the one-half of the reserve ibr the remainder held by the redemption city '
bank, equal to 1| per cent., or $1,125, and the reserve for the still remaining amount held by the New
York bauk, equ.sil to 9-32 pe;: iient,, Of f281,2;5; Jn ajl^ $7^406.25, or 7 X3.-32 pep .cent, of tlje .coun'tfy bank's
(girciiJation,
136
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Under the national bank-act previously in force, the ainount necessary for reserve would have been, at that date, (October 2, 1874,)
for country banks, $78,915,055, the proportion to be kept on hand being
$31,566,022 5 for bauks in the redemption cities $71,669,424^ the proportion to be kept on hand bein^' $35,834,712, and for banks in New
York City $57,478,017, all of which must have been kept on hand. The
whole amount of legal-tender money required to be held in the vaults of
the banks under the national-bank act would, therefore, have been
$124,878,751, from which, deducting the amount required to be keptJ^on
hand and in the Treasury, under the law now in force ($104,528,003), it
will be seen that legal-tender notes to the amount of $20,350,748 are released from the reserves of the banks, as is shown by the following
table, which also exhibits the whole amount of reserve held October 2,
1874, and the various items composing it.

A table compiled from reports made to the New York clearing-house,
will also be found in the appendix, showing ih^ average liabilities and
reserves of the national banks in ISTew York Gity, weekly, during tbe
months of September and October for the past fLWii years.
These tables show that while the deposits of national banks have,
during thelast year, been much greater than the average since the
organization of the system, the amount of lawful money held by them
has also been much greater, the reserve in their own vaults being, at
the date of their last reports, $55,000,000, and the total reserve
$94,700,000, in excess of the requirements of the present act.
1S8
REPORT ON T H E
FINANCES.
One result of a financial crisis is a temporary contraction of the business of the country, so that a less amount of currency is needed.
Hitherto, daring financial crises, a large number of banks of issue have
failed, and their circulating-notes have consequently been withdrawn 5
but no such reduction of currency followed the panic of September, 1873.
Since.that date fourteen national banks have failed, the aggregate capital of which was $4,075,000, but the notes of these banks have continued in circulation as previously; nnd as both the national-bank notes
and legal-tender ifotes have been increased, the volume of palmer currency in circulation is greater than previous to the panic. Until the
business of the country shall again resume its former activitj^, or a portion of .the circulation shall be withdrawn, there will continue to be a
redundancy, which is evident fromthe fact that, notwithstanding, the
amendment to the act releasing reserve upon circulation, and the low
rates of interest which have prevailed a t t h e commercial centers during
the year, the banks held at the date of the last report a larger amount
of cash than at any corresponding period for the last fiive years. The full
effect of the act of June 20, 1874, which releases the reserve upon circulation, cannot, therefore, be ascertained from the reports of the banks
until the business of the country shall be restored to its normal condition. A complete table showing the liabilities and the amount and different kinds of reserve of the national banks at ^ve different periods
since the date of the last annual report, and the aggregate amount held
at different periods since January 6,1868, will be found in the appendix.
TAXATION, EARNINGS, AND BIYIBENDS.
National banks pay the followitig taxes tothe Treasurer of the United
States: One per cent., annually, on circulation outstanding, one-half of
one per cent., annually, on deposits, and one-half of one per cent.,,
annually, on capital not invested in United States bonds. These taxes
are payable semiannually.
The following table exhibits the amount of taxes^* collected by the
Treasurer, annually, from the organization of the system to July 1,187 4:

The national banks, prior to May 1,1871, paid to the Commissioner of
Internal Eevenue a license, or special tax, of two dollars on each $1,000 of
capital, and an income-tax on net earnings to December 31, 1871. The
special or license-tax, from May 1, 1864, to May 1', 1871, amounted to
$5,322,688 5 the income-tax, from March 1, 1869, to September 1, 1871,
amounted to $5,539,289. The total amount of tax paid to the Government bv the national banks, from the organization of the systein to Julv
1, 1874," is, therefore, $68,580,595.

The Comptroller, in his report for 1867, made a careful statement of
the taxes collected from national banks under State laws for the year
1866, the information being derived from specific returnsof about fourteen
hundred national bauks, the minimum rate in each State being estimated
for those banks which made no returns. A similar statement was also^
made for the year ending December 31, 1867, and for the year ending
September 30, 18695 from- which is derived the following summary:

The State assessors of New York, in their report for 1873, state that
^ a very small portion of the capital employed by private bankers is
^
assessed. The reason usually given the assessor in such cases is that the
capital is all invested in (a-overnment bonds. * * * Merchants and
those engaged in mercantile pursuits pay little or no tax on capital, usually holding that their indebtedness amounts to as much as their capital.
In the city of New Tork and a few^ other places the shares of national
banks are assessed at par value. In the city of Hudson one bank pays
tax on 120 j^er eent. of its capital. Two or three rates in the same
county are not unusual. The Bank of Commerce in the city of New
York paid more tax in 1872, on a capital of $10,000,000, than any one
of thirty-fi.ve counties in the State. * * * There are in the State sev•
eral banks or' banking-houses of foreign states and Canada, seeking
and,receiving protection by our laws and from our courts, police, and
citizens, that are not taxed. * ^ ^ The.amountof taxes paid by insurance companies in proportion to their capital and business is almost
infinitesimal.
Comparatively few 'make proper and legal returns
required of incorporated companies for purposes of taxation. It is estimated that the aggregate capital of incorporated companies doing
business in this State and subject to taxation is about $2,000,000,000.
A small percentage on this sum, if paid directly into the State treasury,
would relieve the real estate from all State tax. The amount assessed
to savings-banks is comparatively nothing, and found on the tax-rolls
of only two or three counties."
The same system of assessment and taxation described by the assessors of the State of New York prevails to a great extent in every other
State of the Union. The national banks make frequent returns of their
condition to this Office, and section 40 of the nationahbank act requires
that a full and correct list of the names and residences of all shareholdersof national banks shall be kept in the offices where their business is transacted, and shall be subject to the inspection of officers authorized to assess
taxes under State laws. While few corporations make correct returns
of their true condition for the purpose of taxation, the data for the
assessment and taxation of national banks can always be obtained.
The ratio of taxation under State laws during the last year upon bank
capital in New York City was about 2.80 per cent. 5 in Buff'alo, Albany
and Troy, 4 to 5 per ceut.^ Boston, 2.345 Baltimore, 2.535 Cincinnati,

The.aver age rate of taxation assessed upon the capital of the national banks of the 'country is estimated at from three to three and onehalf per cent. Eeal-estate and personal property generally are assessed
at not more than one-third of their actual value, but bank-shares are
usually assessed at their full value; and there is no doubt that the ratio
of taxation of the national banks is greater than that of any other
species of property.
The amount of internal-revenue tax derived from the sale of the twocent stamp affixed to sight drafts and checks was, for 1874, $1,502,549.
This stamp-taxis to a considerable extent evaded b y t h e banks, and
more frequently by depositors, by drawing post-notes, or bills of exchange at one day's sight, instead of on demand, and by substituting
receipts for checks. It is recommended that the two-cent stamp tax be
repealed; or if not repealed, that it be so amended as to require a
stamp-tax upon all checks and drafts, and upon receipts in place pf
checks drawn upon banks and bankers, with a penalty of twenty
dollars provided for each violation thereof.
The act of March 3, 1869, required specific returns to be made of the
dividends and net earnings of the national banks, after the declaration
of each dividend.
From these returns the following table has been prepared, exhibiting
the aggregate capital and surplus, total dividends,* and total net earnings
of the national banks, wdth the ratio of dividends to capital, dividends
to capital and surplus,, and earnings to capital and surplus, for each
half year, commencing March 1, 1869, and ending September 1, 1874 ;
from which it will be seen that the average dividends upon capital durin the last year were less than ten per cent., while the ratio of dividends to caijital and surplus was less than eight per cent.
* Th© following statemeut of the ten principal joint-stock banks of London, including their-branches, exhibiting the capital, reserve, deposits, net profits, and dividends
of each for the half year previous to July 1, 1874, has been compiled from balancesheets of the banks published in the London Economist of October 17, 1874.

The creditors of The ISTational Bank of the Commonwealth, The Waverly National Bank, and The Union Square ISTational Bank, have been
paid in full, and dividends have been declared during the past year of
25 per cent, in favor of the shareholders of The Waverly NationalBank,
and 10 per cent, in favor of the shareholders of The Union Square National Bank. Additional dividends will soon be declared in favor of the
creditors of The Merchants' National Bank of Petersbnrgh of 10 per
cent., of The Scandinavian National Bank, Ghicago, of 15 per cent., and
of The National Unadilla Bank of about 13 per cent. Small dividends
will also soon be declared in favor of the creditors of The First National
Bank of Washington, B.C., TheVenango NationalBank of Franklin, Pa.,
and The Merchants' National Bank of Washington, D. 0. Assessments
have been made under section 12 of the national-bank act, ou account
of deficiency of assets, upon the shareholders of the following banks:
The First National Bank of New Orleans, The Crescent City National
Bank of New Oiieans, The Eighth National Bank of New York, The
Atlantic National Bank of New York, and The Merchants' National
Bank of Petersburgh j and suits have been directed to be brought against
all delinquent shareholders for the enforcement of such liability.
The affairs of The Ocean National Bank of New York are still involved in litigation, but the receiver is of the opinion that the assets
of the bank will be sufficient to pay the claims of its creditors in full.
The Comptroller has endeavored as far as possible, by examinations
of the banks and by correspondence, to require all national banks to
take from their assets ail doubtful paper, and stocks and bonds which
suffered depreciation from the financial crisis; and it is a cause lor congratulation to the public that the prosperity of the national banks, since
the organization of the system, has resulted in the accumulation of a
large surplus to which such losses can be charged, thus preventing embarrassment both to creditors and shareholders.
Tables giving statistics in reference to insolvent national banks will
be found in the appendix.
SAVINGS-BANKS, TRUST AND LOAN COMPANIES, AND STATE BANKS,
ORGANIZED UNDER STATE LAWS.
In obedience to the act of Congress approved February 19th, 1873,
the Comptroller was able to obtain for his i eport of last year the necessary information from the State authorities of the condition of the savings-banks in only eight States, and of the State banks in no more than

nine. Some improvement has been made in collecting the reports during the year now closed, as will appear by the statements in the appendix, but only to the extent of two additional States for savings-banks,
and six for the banks organized under State la|ws, making ten of the
former and fifteen, in all, of the latter. The returns received at this
office of the trust and loan companies are, as they were for the last year,
still too meagre to warrant any attempt at a practical or useful exhibit
of their agency in the monetary affairs of the country. Letters of inquiry were addressed early in the year to the eiecutive officers of all
the States and Territories, to which replies were received, but no rex?orts
available for use from any except those above | stated; and of these,
among the statements given in the appendix, thaf of the savings-banks
of California is unofficial, and that of Illinois in reference to the savingsbanks of Chicago only. Some of the States report considerable numbers of institutions bearing the name of savings-banks, but inasmuch
as they have capital and declare dividends to jstockholders, they are
here classed as State banks, without regard to their assumed titles. It
will be observed that the reports which are given of the condition of
the State banks and savings-banks are, for the inost part, dated at or
about the close of the calendar year 1873, and they may be generally
treated as preceding the date of my annual report by nearly a j^ear. The
reason of this is that the official returns of the several States are
made to their legislatures, whose sessions generally commence at or
after the meeting of Congress, and are not published or received at this
Office until my report for the current year hajS been presented. In addition to the letters asking for the reports of the States, directed to their
executive authorities, the Comptroller addressed a circular-letter to the;
governors of all the States failing to make sufficient returns of their banking institutions, urging them to recommend to their respective legislatures such measures as might be necessary to obtain, for. general as well
as for local publication, the statistics of all, banking institutions authorized by State laws; and he begs leave again to ask the attention of members of Congress to this subject, and for.the exertion of
their influence tothe same purpose upon the authorities of their respective States.* The Comptroller has received replies from several of the
governors addressed, warmly approving the reconfimendations and suggestions of the circular, and promising co-operatiOn.
_
The tables in the appendix to this report show that in the savingsbanks there given, there were, at the close of th0 ^^ear 1873, in the ten
States reported, an aggregate of 2,188,619 depositors' open accounts
with a total sum to their credit of $759,946,632, wliich averages $347.23
2)er capita of the depositors: and the State bauks of the same States
had at about the same time $69,000,000 on deposit.
In the savings-banks of these ten States, which had at the time an
aggregate popnlation of 11,733,800, it would appear that no less than
one in every five and one-third persons was a depositor. Making allow" The following amendment to tbe constitution of New; York Was ratified b y t h e

popular vote at the last election :
•
,
'' Tbe legislature sbali, by general law%-conform all charters of savings-banks, or institutions for savings, to a uniformitj^ of powers, rights, and liabilities ; and all charters
hereafter granted for such corporations shall be made to conform to such general law,
aud to such amendments as m a y b e made thereto. Aud I no such corporation shall
have any capital stock, nor shall the trustees thereof, or any of them, have any interest whatever, direct or indirect, iu the ]3r(»iits of such corporation ; aud no direofcor or
trustee of any such bank or institution shall be interested in any loan or use of any
money or property of such bauk or institution for savings. The legislature shall have
no power to pass any act granting any i3]3ecial charter for banking-purposes; but corporations or associations may be formed for such purposes tinder general laws."

REPORT ON THE
FINANCES.
ance for so many as may have been depositors in several savings-banks,
it is safe to estimate one in six of the men, women, and minors, as
more or less interested in the condition of these repositories of savings.*
It is not probable that the unreported States have an equal proportion of deposits and depositors to their aggregate populations ; but if ten
States show such an account of investments and so large a proportion of
the people interested in them as this, the other twenty-seven States, with
the Territories added, (and with such States as Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky,
Missouri, Lonisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
aild others among them as yet unreported,) must be taken to add inir
mensely to the numbers and amounts known and reported. No adequate idea of the importance of these institutions in the great money
and credit exchanges of the whole country can be formed, or approximately estimated, until accurate and complete statistics are at command.
Eight hundred millions of dollars is too low an estimate of the amount
of deposits at the close of the year 1873, in the savings-banks, State
banks, and loan and trust companies of the six New^ England States,
New York, and New .Jersey alone. According to the census valuation
of the real and personal property of these eight States, they were, in
1870, worth $11,481,692,575, which is but thirty-eight per cent..of the
value of all the States and Territories. It must be left to experts to
form their own estimate of the grand total of deposits held and employed in the Union by the banks and banking companies other' than
the national banks. The figures for comparison with these stand thus :
At the close of the year 1873 the deposits in the savings-banks of the
eight States last named amounted to $696,353,731, exclusive of those
of the State banks and trust and loan companies; inthe national bauks
of- the same States, the individual deposits at the same time were $308872,886. The progress made by the savings-banks of the eight States
already named, as shown by the oii\j statistics known to be reliable,
may be seen in the summary here given of their condition in the years
1872-'73 and 1873-'74.

SPECIE AND SURPLUS.
The following table exhibits the amount of specie held by the national banks at the dates mentioned—the coin, coin certificates, and
* From official reports it is found that the amount due to depositors by the old savings-banks and post-office savings-banks of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland was, at the close of the year 1873, $300,201,001; the number of open accounts
being 3,025,489, which gives a^^e?' capita average of $99.22, ($136.42 in the old savingsbanks, and $65.19 in the post-otfice savings-banks.) This is equal to one depositor to
ten and a half of the entire population. So loug ago as the year 1850, McCulloch
(Commercial Dictionary) gave the number of depositors in the old savings-banks at
1,092,581, the aggregate deposits $132,912,478, and the average to each deposito'rj
$121.65. The comparison here intended, both as to amounts invested aud rate of progress in the United States^ is obvious and striking.

The surplus of the national banks now amoni^ts, in the aggregate, to
nearly $129,000,000, which is a perpetual and in|creasiug fund to which
losses and bad debts may be charged. The Comptroller renews his
recommendation of last year, that the limit of the liabilities of any
association, person, company, or firm, for money borrowed, as provided
in section 29 of the act, be extended to 15 per cent, of capital and surplus for banks located in the redemption cities, and one-tenth of capital
and surplus for the other banks.
t
SMALL NOTES.
j
The issue of bank-notes of a less denomination than £ 5 was prohibited in England in 1827, and an act in 1829 pro^jided that no person or
corporation inany part of England should ''publish, ntter, negotiate,
or transfer" the notes of any Scotch or Irish bank, of a less denomination than £5, nnder heavy penalties.
'
The legislature of New York, by act of April 20,1830, prohibited the
circulation within that State of the notes of other States of a less
denomination than $5^ the penalty being the forfeiture o f the nominal
amount of snch bank-note, bill, or promissory nbte, with costs of snit;"
and on Mar.ch 31, 1835, the legislature passed 4n act making it unlawful "for any person or corporation to pay, give, or offer in ]3ayment, or
in any way circulate or attempt to circulate as money within this State,
at any time after the 1st of January, 1845, any bill, note, or other evidence of debt, purporting to be issned by any body-corporate, of a less
denomination than $5, or of a denomination between $5 and $10;" the
148
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
penalty for violation of the act being four tiines the nominal value of
such bill, note, or evidence of debt. Corporations having banking
powers were also prohibited from issuing or putting in circulation notes
of a less denomination than $5, under a penalty of $100 for each bill
put in circulation. This act was superseded by the act of Febl^uary 28,
1838, which contained still more stringent provisions against the issue
and circulation of notes below the denomination of $5.
The legislature of Pennsylvania also (April 16, 1850) prohibited the
issuing of notes of a denomination less than $5,. and another act (April
17,1861) authorized the issuing of notes of the denominations of one, two,
and three dollars to an amount not exceeding twenty per cent, ot the capital stock paid in.
The i:)roi)osi tion for the repeal of the acts ofthe legislature of New York
upon, the subject above cited, constituted oneof the principal issues ofthe
political canvass of 1838, Avhich resulted in the election to the gubernatorial ofhce of an eminent citizen of that State (since deceased) svho favored
theirrepeal; and these acts were repealed February21,1839. Theactsprohibiting the circulation of small notes in New Y^ork and Pennsylvania
(Could not be enforced while banks in New England and other neighboring
States had the right to circulate such issues, and they vvere therefore
generally disregarded. The whole circulation of the country is now,
however, under the control of Congress, and an act to prohibit the issue
of su^h notes upon the return to specie payments would apply to every
State in the Union. The principle is recognized in section 22 of the
national-bank act, which provides ''that not more than one sixth part
of the notes furnished to an association shall be of a less denomination
than $5, and that after specie payments shall be resumed no association
shall be furnished with notes of a less denomination than $5;" and also
in section 3 of the act of June 12, 1870, which prohibits the issue of cirvculating-notes to gold banksof a less denoinination than $5. These
provisions have had the effect to prevent the issue of any considerable
ainount of notes of a less denomination than $5, the whole amount of
such issues in circulation at the present time beiug $8,972,841.
The following table exhibits the number and amount of national-bank
notes of eaxjh denomination which have been issued and redeemed since
the organization of the system, and the number and amount outstanding on November 1, 1874:

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
COUNTERFEITS.
^ From a report made to the Secretary of the Treasury by the chief of
the secret service, on August 27,1873, it appears that the $10 plate upon
which the national-bank notes are printed has been raore extensively
counterfeited than any other, the plates of twenty-four banks having
been thus counterfeited. Ten plates of the $20 notes and a snjall number of the $100 and the $2 plates have also been counterfeited; all of
•which plates have been captured and destroyed by theTreasury Department. A full set of lithographic-stones from which were printed notes
o f t h e denomination of $5, together with, a considerable amount of
notes, were also captured and destroyed; -since which time it is believed
that no fraudulent issues of this kind have been put iu circulation.
A very dangerous counterfeit, of the denomination of $5, upon The
Traders' National Bank, Chicago, has recently appeared, and the genuine notes of this issue are being retired in pursuance of law:, as they
are redeemed at the Treasury, and there are now but $50,555 of this
denomination remaining in circulation.
The statements contained in the report of the chief of the secret service have been confirmed by correspondence with all the banks whose
notes.are known to have been counterfeited; and it is believed that the
number of counterfeits of the national-bank issues has been continually^
diminishing since the capture .of the plates referred to. There is no
doubt that the large amount of engraver's work npon both the faces
and backs ofthe national-bank notes, and the similitude of-the designs
of each denomination, has tended to prevent the issue of connterfeits;
not more than forty-six of the whole six thonsand plates which have
been engraved for the national banks having been successfully imitated,
while under the old State system the counterfeit-notes were numbered .
by thousands.
A small number of impressions only has been printed from the plates
of the denominations of Is and 2s, and of the 20s, 50s, 100s, 500s, and
1000s. The average number of impressions printed from the $5 plate
does not exceed four thousand, while the number printed from the $10
l^late is considerably less. The Comptroller is informed by the engravers that the plates from which the national-bank notes are printed are
capable of printing thirty thousand impressions before they will be
rendere'd unfit for use. The plates of all the denominations are, therefore, with few exceptions, in good condition, and with care a large
number of impressions may be printed from them before evidence of
wear will become apparent.
The present system of assorting in the Treasurer's Office affords an
opportunity to withdraw from circulation, as anthorized by law, the genuine notes of all banks, of any denomination which may have been successfully counterfeited; and it is believed that the Comptroller, by
availing himself of this opportunity, will be able, in a great measure, to defeat the operations of those engaged in counterfeiting the
national-bank circulation. It is certain that a new issue of nationalbank notes, differing in design from the present, would tend to increase
the nnmber of counterfeits, and, as the plates are not worn to any considerable extent, a large expenditure of inoney for this purpose at present is entirely unnecessary.
My predecessor, in his reports for 1867 and 1869, called the attention
of Congress to the fact that $17,560 of the unsigned notes of national
banks had been purloined from this Office, and stated that the guilty
party was tried in the criminal court of the District and convicted; but
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
'
151
that a motion in arrest of judgment was gr^tnted by the court upon
some defect in the indictment, and the criminal djischarged. It is believed that but a small portion of these notes was ever put in circulation, the larger portion having been subsequently destroyed. A few,
however, still remain in circulation with forged signatures, and are, from
time to time, received with genuine notes., their similarity prev^enting
prompt detection. The Comptroller recommends that an appropriation
of $5,000 be made for the redemption of such of these notes as are out-,
standing.
|
AMENDMENTS.
|
The act of June 20, 1874, has been in operation but a few months,
and its provisions in reference to the redistribution of the currency,
reserve, and redemption, should be thoroughly tested before any changes
are made, and accordingly no amendments thereof are now recommended.
I
The following amendments to preyious acts are r|ecommended: (1) An
amendment to section 1 of the act of March 3, 1873, providing that if
any shareholder or shareholders of banks whos^ capital-stock is impaired shall refuse, after three months' notice, to pay the assessment, as
provided in said section, a sufiicient amount of th0 capital-stock of such
delinquent shareholder or shareholders may be sold to make good the
deficiency. (2) An amendment of section 29 of the national-bank act, extending the limit of liabilities of any associatioil, person, company or
firm, for money borrowed, from 10 per cent, of thei capital paid in, to 15
per cent, of capital and surplus, for banks located in the redeinption
cities, and one-tenth of capital and snrplus for other banks; (3) also
prohibiting the deposit of more than 10-per cent, of the capital of a
national bank with any private banker, or with any| person or association
other than a national-banking association. (4) That no national bank
shall be liable to make good any deficiency which may hereafter arise
in any special deposit made with such bank, unless a receipt shall
be produced by the owner of such deposit, iu which the liability of
the bank shall be distinctly stated; (5) the repeal of the two-cent,
stamp-tax, or an act providing that all bill3 of |exchange, checks, or
receipts in place of checks, drawn upon any:baiik or banker, shall be
subject to a stamp-tax, with a penalty of $20 for ^ach violation thereof;
and (6) providing tor the enforcement of the individual liability of shareholders of national banks, which have gone into 1 voluntary liquidation
nnder section 42 of the national-bank act.
;
The Comptroller renews the recommendations icontained in his last
two reports, for the passage of an act to prevent 'the issiie and circulation of unauthorized currency, and requiring thie word ''counterfeit"
" altered," or "illegal," to be stamped on all counterfeit and unauthorized issues; also, his recommendation for the repeal of the fourth section of the act of June 1, 1870, so far as it applies jto the organization of
savings-banks in the District of Columbia, and for the enactment in its
stead of a general law in reference to such savings-banks, with judicious
conditions and restrictionSo
THE OFFICE.
\
The thanks of the Comptroller are due to the; Deputy Comptroller,
examiners of banks, chiefs of divisions, and the other employes of this
Office for the satisfactory manner in which their duties have been performed during the past year. The business of th^ Ofiice will be largely
increased dnring the coming year, aud it is expected that not less than
152
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
$120,000,000 of mutilated currency will be received, counted and destroyed, and a much larger amount of new currency issued to the banks.
The Comptroller and the Deputy Comptroller are required by law to
give official bonds for a large amount; and the responsibility for these
large sums of money must, of necessity, be delegated to a great degree
to the chiefs of divisions and others, whose comjpensation is at present
exceptionally meagre and inadequate, in no case exceeding eighteen hundred dollars. The passage of the bill for the reorganization of
the Treasury Department, and making x^rovision for an increase of the
compensation of those officers and employes who have fairly earned such
recognition by long and faithful service in responsible positions, is respectfully recommended.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The loss by abrasion is shown to have been but little over one-half of
one per cent., and much less than the rate given by the best writers as the
average loss on coins from that cause.
The renovation of the gold coins is now about complete, except as to
the light or worn i^ieces in circulation in the Pacific coast States and
Territories; and if some provision were made for their withdrawal, the
entire gold coinage Avould then be in good condition. It would appear
to be true policy to have the coins referred to withdrawn from circulation ; and if such withdrawal is to be at the expense of the public Treasury, as recommended in my last annual report,-they should be received
only at the mints, where the necessary time and means can be taken to
detect and exclude such coins as have been artificially reduced in
weight.
Provision should be made for their withdrawal before the resumption
of specie payments, as after resumption such coins will naturally find
their Avay east and enter into circulation, and when a loss is sustained
upon any of them it will fall upon individuals who may not have the
means of ascertaing their actual weight.
In connection with this subject, it should be remarked that the reduction in the weight of coins for fraudulent purposes has not been carried
on to any extent in this country.
COINAGE FOR FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
Under the provisions of the act approved January 29, 1874, authorizing coinages to be executed at the mints for any foreign government
applying for the same, applications for the execution of certain coinages
have been received from two governments, and are now under consideration by the proijer authority.
TRANSFER OF STAMPED MINT-BARS TO THE TREASURY.
An act authorizing in effect the keeping of part of the funds in tbe
Treasury in the form of stamped mint-bars, and the application of the
same to the redemption of coin-certificates or in exchange for gold
coins at not less than par, and not lessthan the market-value, having
been passed at the last session of Gongress, an amonnt of such bars
sufiicient for any probable demand that may arise was by your order
transferred from the bullion-fund of the assay-ofiice in New York to the
office of the assistant treasurer in that city. These bars, if not required
bythe public for commercial purposes, will be convenient fbr the Treasury to have coined into the smalle? denominations of gold coin, should
it at any time require the same, and which may be probable, as the gold
coinage of late years, or since the suspension of specie payments, has
been mainly in double eagles, aud that denomination constitutes almost
entirely the amount now in the Treasury.
PROBABLE DEMAND FOR COINAGE OF SMALL GOLD COINS.
Whenever the specie basis shall have been reached, a large coinage
of the half and quarter eaigies, will be necessary, but the mints can manufacture the same as rapidly as would be required or the bullion could
be supplied for the purpose. We have now six diff'erent denominations
of gold coin, which is a greater variety than is required. This being
the case, and the three-dollar piece corresponding so nearly, as to weight,
value, and size, with the quarter-eagle, and rarely used, its coinage

should be discontinued. The gold dollar is not a convenient coin, on
account of its small size, and it suffers more proportionably from abrasion than larger coins. Its issue should, therefore, be confined to actual
demands for it by depositors of bullion, and the requirements for change
and retail transactions should be met with silver coin.
THE TRADE-DOLLAR.
The coinage of trade-dollars during the fiscal year amounted to
$3,588,900, the greater portion of which were exported to China, where
they found a ready market, and continue to grow in favor for trade and
exchange purposes. Owing to the limited capacity of the mints on the
Pacific coast, we have not been able to meet the demand for these coins.
The increased capacity of the new mint in San Francisco, to which
operations wdll soon be transferred, and the addition of new machinery
and appliances at the Carson mint, will enable us to meet the demand
for all the coin, both gold and silver, which may be required on that
coast for circulation and export.
The total issue of silver dollars from the organization of the mint to
the 1st of April, 1873, at which time, under the provisions of the coinage
act, their coinage was discontinued, amounted to a little over $8,000,000.
x4.dding $1,378,500, the amount of trade-dollars coined/during the first
quarter of the current fiscal year, to the coinage for the year ended
June 30,1874, gives the issue as more than half of the total coinage ofthe
old silver dollar during a period of nearly eighty years. Attention is
invited to a memorandum in the appendix from the superintendent of
the San Francisco mint, containing some interesting information in
relation to the course of the trade-dollar.
PROPOSED ISSUE OF A TV7ENTY-CENT COIN.
A bill authorizing the coinage of a twenty-cent silver piece passed
the Senate at the last session of Congress, but was not considered
in the House of Eepresentatives for want of time. The issue of a
coin of that denomination will not only be in accordance with our
decimal system of money, but will remove a difficulty in making
change which now exists upon the Pacific coast and in Texas, where
the five-cent copper-nickel coins do not circulate, and where it was
formerly the practice to apply the term '^bits,'' ^' two bits," and ''four
bits,'^ respectively, to the fractions ofthe Spanish dollar which circulated
there. The custom appears to continue, notwithstanding those coins
have disappeared from circulation. Accordingly, if a payment of one bit
is to be made, and a twenty-five cent coin be used for the purpose, a tencent coin (one bit) is returned as the proper change, five cents being lost
in the transaction by the purchaser. Theissueof a twenty-cent coin
will no doubt remove this difficulty. It may be added that, although
this ''bit" system appears to be quite an unimportant matter, few visitors to the Pacific coast fail to suff'er some vexation at least from its
existence.
Inquiry is occasionally made as to why the coinage of the silver fivecent piece was discontinued. The reason appears to have been that it
would, on the resumption of specie payments, be likely to. expel from
circulation and drive into the Treasury for redemption the five-cent
copper-nickel coins. At first glance this may appear improbable, but
when it is considered that the original law authorizing the issue ot

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
the copper-nickel five-cent coin j)rovided for its redemption in lawful
money ofthe United States, it will be seen that there must come a time
when it will be superior to the five-cent silver coin, and for the reason
that it will be exchangeable for notes redeemable in gold coin. The
silver coin, which would have a greater nominal than intrinsic value,
and not redeemable in lawful money, or gold coin, would become the
inferior currency.
The five-cent copper-nickel coin having been issued to the extent of
over $5,000,000, and the amount being sufficient for a token coin of that
denomination, the provision of law discontinuing the issue of the fivecent silver coin appears to have been proper.
THE ACT FIXING THE CUSTOM-HOUSE VALUATION OF THE POUND
STERLING AND PAR OF EXCHANGE WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
Thepresent report being the first one made since the act of March 3,
1873, establishing the custom-house valuation ofthe sovereign or pound
sterling, and fixing the par of exchange with Great Britain, went into operation, some reference to the provisions, operation, and eff'ect of the
same would appear to be proper.
The first section prescribes as a rule that the value of foreign coin
expressed in the money of account of the United States shall be that
of the pure metal of such coin of standard value, and that the value of
the standard coins in circulation of the various nations of the world
shall be estimated annually by the Director of the Mint, and be proclaimed on the first day of January by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The second section declares that in all paymeuts by or to theTreasury,
whether made here or in fbreign countries, where it becomes necessary
to compute the value of the sovereign or pound sterling, it shall be
deemed equal, to four dollars eighty-six cents six and one-half mills, and
that the same rule shall be applied in appraising foreign merchandise imported, where the value is by the invoice in sovereigns or pounds sterling, and in the construction of contracts payable in sovereigns or
pounds sterling. It also declares that valuation to be the par of exchange between Great Britain and the United States.
The third section repeals all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with
the foregoing provisions.
In order to comply with the provisions of the first section, it became
necessary to obtain accurate information in relation to the standard coins
of the various nations of the world, and for that purpose inquiries as
to the unit of the money of account of foreign countries respectively,
and the amouut of pure gold or silver declared by law to represent
the same, were made in. the form of a circular-letter addressed through
the Department of State to the representatives of the United States
in foreign countries. The information asked for was courteously furnished by the proper official authorities of the diff'erent nations; and after
being received, the estimation of values by the Director of the Mint,
and proclamation of the same by the Secretary of the Treasury, were
made.
In converting invoices of foreign merchandise stated in foreign
moneys of account, into the money of accountof the United States, it
became necessary to make such conversion according to values ascertained under the rule so broadly laid down in the first section of the
law. The einployment at the custom-houses of the values thus ascertained led to some dissatisfaction, the duties being increased, not in
proportion to the slightly-enhanced valuation of the coins, but; by an
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
195
artificial rule in laying duties, and appeals in certain cases were taken,
one of which, involving the value'of the franc, was recently tried before
the United States district court ofthe southern district of New York, and
decided adversely to the United States, thecourt holdiugthat the firstsection of the act of March 3,1873, and the act of March 22, 1846, fixing the
value of the franc at 18.6 cents, do not cover or embrace the same subject, and that the last-named act is not repealed. The case has been
appealed, and, should the decision be affirmed by the Supreme Court, a
return to the old valuation on all foreign coins except the pound sterling would necessarily^ follow. It is probable, however, that Congress
would, in that event, pass an explanatory law or revise and correct the
undervaluations. The question being one of a technical character, a
brief reference to the history of the old valuations and the principle on
which the new rule of valuation is based appears\to be proper.
The valuations under forraer laws were based upon the assay of actual coins which had been in circulation for a number of years, and were
reduced by the attrition of circulation so as not to represent the values
they were originally intended to denote. The valuation of coins under
the system of assays controlled the subject for the first forty years of
the Federal Government, during which time foreign coins were a legal
tender at their intrinsic value, and receivable for duties. When received by the United States, however, it was provided that they should
be sent to the Mint for coinage under our monetary system, and this
being the case, it was necessary that the value fixed on such coins
should not exceed the actual value of the bullion they contained, or
otherwise a loss would have occurred in the recoinage. This was the
starting point of undervaluation in connection with the collection of
customs-duties. When, in>1857, all acts making foreign, coins a legal
tender in this country were repealed, and we no longer had to deal with
such coins as money.^ the system at once became defective.
Under the new act, the basis of valuation being the quantity of pure
metal contained in foreign coins of standard value, expressed in the
money of account of the United States, it is necessary, before proceeding
further, to explain the true meaning of the words "coin of standard
value." Briefiy stated, a cdin of standard value is one representing the
unit of the money of account, or its multiples and divisions, and containing the exact quantity of pure metal prescribed by the law authorizing
its issue. The term also applies to a coin, the bullion and nominal value
of which.are the same, as against a coin from which seignorage has been
taken, and whose nominal value exceeds its bullion value. In estimating
the value ofthe standard coins of the world, we are therefore practically
required to deal with legally-established standards, and not, as under
former laws, with individual coins, which may be more or less diminished in weight.
Under former laws, the undervaluation of the soverign or pound sterling was only about one-half of one per cent., while in the case of the
franc of France it was much greater, amounting to nearly four per cent.
The fact that so greaj: a difference existed between the va/luation of
coins of diff'erent countries showed conclusively that legislatiou, was
necessary, and the establishmentof a rule for ascertaining values, based
on sound principle and universal in its' application, appeared to be the
most simple and gust remedy.
It will, of course,'be understood that the undervaluation of foreign
coins leads to a corresponding reduction in the proper assessa;ble surface of invoices of foreign merchandise, and diminishes the duties to be
paid to the Governmeut. The increase of the assessable surface of in

voices under the new law is the real and only cause of complaint on
the part of importers, who claim that it exacts from them duties in excess of the amount contemplated by the laws under which they are
assessed.
^'
n Under the old laws, the sovereign or pouud sterling was converted
into United States money at the rate of $4.84, while under the new law
the rate is $4.86.65. Invoices stated in francs, under the act of March
22, 1846, were converted at the rate of 18.6 cents to the franc, while
under the new law the rate is 19.3 cents. The value of the sovereign
and franc of the present day, as determined by recent United States
Mint assays, is as follows:
New sovereign
Average worn pieces
Twenty francs
$4 86J
4 85y^Q
3 84^^.
which gives the assay-value of the franc* as 19 cents 2^^ mills.
These values correspond very nearly to the value as estimated on the
basis of declared standards, and show that the objections which have
been raised against the new law would not be removed if the values
were to be fixed on the average assays of existing individual coins.
Eeference should here be made, in connection with this subject, to
the important changes which have taken place duriug the last three
years in foreign money standards, and the complications likely to arise
therefrom in the collection of customs duties. The new monetary unit
of the German Empire is the gold mark, and which must, according to
law, soon take the place of the monetary units long known as the thaler
of North Germany, fiorin of South Germany, marc banco of Hamburg, and lonis d'or thaler of Bremen, and in which invoices of merchandise exported to the United States continue to be stated. It is a
well-known fact that monetary systems and monetary terms to which
tbe people of any country have long been accustomed do not readily
give way to new ones, even when penalties may be enforced, and it must
be expected that invoices of merchandise exported from Germany will
continue to be made for some time to come either in thalers or florins,
unless exporters be required to make out their invoices in marks, on
and after the law declaring fhe mark to be the unit of account becomes
operative in all the states of the German Empire. The same remarks
will apply fo Spain, where the peseta has superseded or is to supersede
the piece of eight reals as the monetary unit. These changes afford addition alfreasons in favor of a general rule of valuation based upon declared
standards.
Much stress has been laid upon the fact that the second section of
the law specifically fixes the value of the sovereign or pound sterling,
and the inference has been drawn that the intention of Congress was to
change only the valuation of that coin, and not alter the value of other
foreign coins as fixed in the then existing laws, and this notwithstanding the fact that while, as before stated, the sovereign was undervalued only one-half of one per cent., some other*coins, and notably the
franc, were undervalued nearly four per cent.
When the reason for the special enactment relative to the sovereign
or pound sterling is explained, it will be seen that the inference above
.referred to is incorrect. The old fictitious par of $4.44| to the pound,
and the complicated mode of computation which it rendered necessary,
were objectionable and disadvantageous in many respects, and few per-

sons outside of dealers in foreign exchange understood the meaning of
the quotation " sterling exchange, 109i-," while every one of ordinary
intelligence readily comprehends the meaning of " sovereigns, $4,861,"
the former having been under the old system the equivalent of the latter under the new. The quotation of 109J meant 9J per cent, on and
added to $4.44|-, the latter having been the value, at an early period
of our colonial history, in Spanish silver dollars, of 240 pence British
money.
The fictitious par of exchange on Great Britain above referred to had
long been in use, and its voluntary abandonment appearing to be very
improbable, prohibitory legislation, the intention of which should be
clearly expressed, was deemed necessary. A separate section, embracing the necessary provision, was therefore enacted.
By reference to the following extract from the report of the Finance
Committee of the Senate, on the bill reported by it, and which passed
both houses without amendment, it will be seen that the committee
ascertained the value of the sovereign under the rule laid down in the first
section of the act to determine the value of foreign coins generally^ and not
from the assay of coins.

As 23.22 grains troy is the weight of the pure gold in the standard dollar, and 113.006-F
grains troy the weight of the imre gold iu the standard sovereign, the quotient resulting from dividing the second number hy the first is the value of pure gold in the
standard sovereign, as expressed in dollars and cents, which gives us $4.86656-|-. This
is the true or intrinsic value of the sovereign or pound sterling, as expressed in the
standard dollar of the United States at the present time.
By what has heen stated it will be seen that the true or intrinsic value of the sovereign of Great Britain, as expressed in the money of account of the United States, is
$4.86656 ; that the congressional valuation is |4.84 ; and tbat the commercial valuation,
known as the j:)flr of exchange or technical par, is $4.44^.
The first is the value of the pure gold in the sovereign, as expressed in dollars and
c e n t s ; and, as a measure for the coiiiparison of the moneys of the two countries is
sought, that wiiich will give the true value of the pure gold in their standard coins
would seem to fill the requisite conditions.
The second is the valuation given by Congress, it being the average value of those
actually tested in 1842. It isfcobe observed that it was the av^erage worn or abraded
British coin with which our standard coin was compared. Would it not be wiser to
compare our standard coin with the British standard coin? If the British worn or
abraded coin is taken as a standard, ought not our own worn and abraded coin to he
compared with it?
It is the opinion of the committee that such a valuation should not be recognized by
any of the Departments of the Government; and that they should use every means in
their power abroad, as well as at home, to attain a system of exchange based on true
or intrinsic values.

It therefore appears that the intention of Congress was to provide
a general rule, of valuation which should be applicable in all cases,
and the value of the sovereign which was specifically fixed, but in accordance with the rule, was fbr the purpose of making the provision in
relation to the par of exchange perfectly clear.
If the revenue system is so defective as not to admit of a correct valuation of foreign coins and moneys of account according to a just rule,
applying equally in the case of all countries, and subject to alteration
only when the money standard of a country is changed by law, it will
be well to consider whether the remedy should not be found in the revision and correction of that system, rather than In a return to the old
undervaluation of foreign coins.
The second section of the act prescribed the close of the year 1873
as the term for the discontinuance of the old rating of exchange, and
prohibited contracts based upon the old fictitious par, but did not prescribe a rule for the quotation of sterling exchange..
198
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
In view of the important alterations in quoting sterling exchange,
which the law contemplated, the Secretary of the Treasury, on the 17th
of September, 1873, issued a circular inviting the attention of importers, exchange dealers, and the public generally to the provisions of the
act, and recommended that exchange should be quoted in dollars and
cents to the pound sterling, or in pence and fractions to the dollar; and
as it was desirable that the change then about to be made in the United
States should be adopted in Great Britain, copies of the circular, with
an explanatory letter, w^ere sent, on the Oth of October, 1873, to the
Hon. A. G. Cattell, confidential agent of the Treasury Department in
London, with a view to have the subject brought to the attention of
the London Stock Exchange and bankers dealing in American securities. ' Copies of the letter and circular referred to, also the correspondence of Mr. Cattell with the London Stock Exchange, are given in the
appendix, and furnish a complete history of the origin and effect ofthe
old system and the reform lateh^ eff'ected in quoting American securities in London.
It will be seen from the papers referred tc, that Mr. Cattell discharged
the duty intrusted to him with Zealand fidelity, and with a very intelligent understanding of the subject, and that the suggestions of the
Treasury Department received attentive and liberal consideration on
the part of the London Stock Exchange.
The change contemplated by the law in quoting sterling exchange in
the United States was brought about on the 1st of January last, and
without affecting injuriously or embarrassing any interest.
' The reform in the quotation of United States securities on the London Stock Exchange is certainly a long step toward a correct system,
but is still somewhat defective. The change made was from valuing
the dollar at 54 pence to its valuation at 48 pence, that is, $.5 per pound.
Estimating by the standard of the coirfs, (pound sterling and dollar,)
the pound is $4.86656, and our law fairly fixes the ratio at $4.8665.
Manifestly, therefore, the stock exchange basis is an overvaluation of
the pound, say 13J cents, or about 2f per cent. On such a basis, a
United States security sold at true par must, be quoted at 2f per cent,
premium, since $4.8665 plus 2 | per cent. ($0,133) gives $5, the assumed
par.
There appears to be no reason why London should i^x a par atall,
or why United States bonds may not be quoted, as our exchange now
is, in dollars and cents to the pound, or in pence to the dollar,«or, if a
par must be established, an almost absolutely accurate one would be
jei5 = $73.

THE COURSE OF SILVER BULLION.
At the time of the monetary disturbances, and consequent derangement of foreign exchanges in this country last autumn, the price of silver
bulhon, which had previously exhibited a declining tendency, suddenly
fell from about 116J to 112J cents per standard ounce, gold, and the
occasion was embraced to make such addition to the silver-bullion fund
of the mints and assay-office in NewYork as was required for their
NOTE.—In projecting the law in relation to the par of exchange, value of sovereign,
.&C., and in the preparation of various documents explanatory of the same, I received
valuable assistance from Robert Patterson, esq., of Philadelphia, for a number of years
connected with the mint in that city, and which it affords me great pleasure to acknowledge.

199
operations, and to enable them to prepare and keep on hand a supply
of silver coins sufficient to enable deposits and x>urchases of silver bullion to be promptly paid for, and to supply the Treasury witli such sums
as it might require in making its payments. AYhen, a few inonths afterward, the exchanges became restored to theirnormal condition, the price
of silver recovered to some extent, but has latel}'receded in the London
market to 5 7 | pence, against 61J pence, average rate in 1864. The price
here is about 112J cents per standard ounce.
Although the decline in the value of silver, measured by gold, has
been considerable, any appreciation beyond that arising from an advance
in the rates of exchange on London, the principal bullion-market ofthe
world, and which must be temporary, is not to be expected. It cannot
recover its former relative value to gold while the mines of the United
States aud Mexico continue to yield so largely, and the large quantity
existing in the form of demonetized coins in Germany remains undistributed.
The amount placed upon the market by Germany during the last year
does not appear to have been large, and that sales in future will be so
managed as to weaken the market as little as possible is quite certain,
especially as any considerable further depreciation in value would make
it impossible to carry out, without heavy loss, the German plan of the
substitution of gold for silver as the standard of value and of overvalued or subsidiary silver coins in the place of the silver coins which
were formerly the legal-ten der money.
The relative value of the two metals will, of course, vary with the
supply and demand, but the indications are that a new rate or proportion of, say, 16^ to 1, will be practically established and continue with
unimportant variations for some time to come, and this notwithstanding
the fact that the proportion of 15^ to 1 is the legal rate in the gold and
silver, or double standard of the states of the Latin union, and at which
provision is made for the withdraw^al of the old silver coins formerly
issued by the states now composing the German Empire. The relative
value of 16^ to 1 would enable us to purchase silver for coinage into half
and quarter dollars and dimes at, say, 112J cents, gold, per ounce standard,
and the coining rate under the law being 124 4 10 cents (or, to be exact,
$1.24416) per standard ounce, the gain or seignorage to the Treasury
would be a fraction over 11.9 cents per ounce, or about 10^ per cent, on
the amount of gold employed in the purchase. This estimate excludes
the cost of coinage, which, including wastage, may be stated at about
2 per cent., although 1 per cent, would probably cover all actual necessary expenses, as the miuts could, when not otherwise engaged, execute
the silver coinage without any increase in the working force ordinarily
required and retained.
The above-stated facts show that the Government can at any time,
unless there should be a material advance in the value of silver or
depreciation in the gold-value of the paper dollar, (91.3' at this date,)
supply itself with such an amount of subsidiary silver coin as it may
require to pay out, at its nominal value, at about the same terms as a
corresponding sum in paper currency could be obtained by the sale of
gold coins. The bullion or export-value of subsidiary silver coins, with
the price of silver bullion at 112^ cents per ounce, standard, would be
90^ cents to the dollar. Nothwithstanding these coins are only worth,
as bullion, 90J cents, gold, and about par, currency, the marhet-rate for
them is 95 cents gold and 104^ cents currency to the dollar. The difference is due to the demand being in excess of the supply, and would
rapidly disappear if the market were freely supplied. The demand fbr

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
the coins appears to come from the Pacific coast and Texas, where they
circulate as money. The first eff'ect of any considerable issue of subsidiary silver coin would be the disappearance in the New York market
of the difference between the bullion and market value of these coins.
They would next be sent to the Pacific coast and Texas in such amounts
as to compel merchants and others to avail themselves of the provision
of law limiting the legal tender of such coins to $5. After a time they
would begin to enter more or less into general circulation in other sections of the Union, and, as the paper money approached parity with gold,
gradually expel the fractional notes. Thelatter, being redeemable in
United States legal-tender notes, will of course become as to subsidiary
silver the superior currency, whenever the legal-tender uotes become
exchangeable at par for gold coins. They would even become a superior currency as to silver coins before the greenback had reached a parity with gold.
i have been particular to refer to the subject of the course of silver
bullion, and its issue in the form of subsidiary silver coin, for the reason
that the provision of the coinage law which authorizes the payment
in silver coins for silver bullion purchased for coinage by the mint at
Philadelphia and assay-office, New York, expires by its own limitation
on the 12th day of February next, after which subsidiary coins can be
procured from the mints only in exchange for gold coins at par. The
provision of law above referred to should not, in my opinion, be reenacted or extended. The issue of subsidiary and token coins should
be entirely under the control of the Government, and kept within such
limits as will protect the public from the inconvenience and loss which
would attend a redundant issue.
Whenever subsidiary or overvalued silver or token coins of any
description are issued, two things are of vital imi^ortance, and should
be observed:
First. A proper limitation as to the amount for which they are to be a
legal tender.
Second. The ainount of issue limited to the requirements of the public for change.
The latter is the only purpose for which such coins are designed to
be used, and this can be effectually attained by their issue only in
exchange at par for coin of the standard metal, (in this countrj'^, gold.)
The restriction as tb the mode of issue applies particularly to times
when gold, and not notes based upon debt, as now, shall form the basis
of, currency. Before we reach that basis, however, the Government
may manufacture on its own account, and under favorable circumstances pay out, silver coins, at its pleasure and convenience, to the
extent required to meet any legitimate demands for the same. In Great
Britain subsidiary silver coin is manufactured exclusively on government account, and furnished to the public in exchange for gold coins
at par, and in Germany and the countries of the Latin and Scandi
navian money unions the manufacture is also exclusively on govern
ment account, but the issue is fixed j^^^r capita.
It is not within the province of this report to consider the question
of the withdrawal of the fractional notes and the substitution of subsidiary silver coins in their place. The withdrawal would be the payment of a loan without interest and the substitution of money having
intrinsic value. The determination of the proper time to commence
the preparation in that way for a specie basis, as well as the policy and
expediency of the measure, will no doubt receive due consideration by
the proper authority. As to the amount of subsidiary silver coins

201
which would probably be required, some idea may be obtained from the
experience of other countries.
The issue in Germany is to be 10 marks, equal to about $2.38, ^^er
capita—iDopulation, 41,060,695; in France, 6 francs per capita., exclusive
of the five-franc piece, which is a full-valued coin and an unlimited legal
tender. Having presented the subject, as I trust, in a manner sufficiently
clear, so far as it is of a technical character and connected with the
course of silver bullibn, I dismiss it with the remark that the mints are,
or soon will be, in condition to meet in a reasonable time all the requirements of the country for coin, and which of course would be augmented
when it shall be determined to withdraw the fractional currency.
MONENTARY STANDARDS.
No change in monetary standards has taken place since my last annual
report, although the question of changing from silver tothe single gold
standard has been discussed in the Netherlands. It may also be mentioned that one or more members of the Latin monetary states union appear to favor the same change, and, as a concession thereto, some restrictions have been placed on the issue of the five-franc silver coins. The
Latin union has the double standard of silver and gold, valued in the
coinage as 15J to 1, but the only silver coin issued under that valuation
is the five-franc. The relative market-value of the two metals being
nearly 16J to 1, inevitably leads to some derangement of exchanges.
In this connection it is proper to note the issue of a new gold coin by
the Austrio-Hungarian Empire, and stamped "eight florins—twenty
francs." It is of the same value as the twenty-franc coins of the states
of the Latin union. As the silver florin continues to be the coined representative ofthe monetary unit ofthe empire, the " eight florin—twentyfranc piece" must be regarded as a trade coin, even though it'practically regulates exchanges and measures the depreciation of the paper
florin. The issue of the new gold coin would appear to indicate the
adoption at no distant day of the gold standard by that empire and
an assimilation of its coinage to that ofthe Latin union.
Official notice was published by the Danish minister, on the 1st of
September, 1874, that the terms of the common-money system of the
three Scandinavian kingdoms, and which is based upon a common gold
standard, will take eff'ect in Denmark on the 1st of January, 1875, and
that all financial obligations entered into on and after that date shall
be done on the basis of the new-money system, and all public and private payments shall be in accordance with the unit of value of that
system, viz, the gold crown of 100 oere, ($0.26.8.)
The custom of assaying at our mints such foreign coins as come under
notice has been continue-d, and the results embraced in the tables of
foreign coins in the appendix. These tables embracing only what may
be termed coins of commerce, a separate table is appended, giving the
coins representing the monetary units, divisions, and multiples, as well
as subsidiary issues of all countries as far as we have been able to obtain accurate information. All the replies to the circular in relation to
the money of account and coins of foreign countries which were not received in time for my last annual report, are embraced in the appendix.

sure conformity to the lawful standard of weight and fineness, and as
exhibiting the responsibilities of the officers intrusted with the coinage,
appears to be proper.
It willbe sufficient to state that, when coins are ready for delivery,
a certain number of pieces are indiscriminately taken and immediately
sealed up and placed in a box or chest, denominated the "pyx," closed by
two diff'erent locks, the keys of which are in the possession of the superintendent and assayer, so that neither can have access to its contents
without the presence of the other. These reserved coins, after the close
of the year, are submitted to a critical examination by a commission
constituted by law for that purpose. The details'"of the examination of
coins reserved during the calendar year 1873 appear in the extract from
the report of the commission appended to this report.
In addition to the test above described, sarnple pieces, taken indiscriminately from certain deliveries in each month, are assayed under
the instructions ofthe Director, and the result reported to him, and the
officers whose work is under trial, one mint assaying upon another.
This last check on the coinage, and which ascertains whether the weight
and fineness conform to the legal standard, also embraces the testing of
the gold coins for silver, and silver for gold, and was inaugurated under
the new organization of the mints. Under this system of test assays
w^e satisfy ourselves, from time to time, that nomore silver passes off* in
the alloy of gold coins than is allowed by law, and gold contained in
silver bullion, and silver in gold bullion, is separated as closely as can
be done at a profit.
i
In order to make this subject clear to those not familiar with mintterms, it may be stated that nearly all gold bullion as it comes from the
mines contains more or less silver, which has to be separated before
the gold bullion can be alloyed with copper to bring it to the legal
standard for coinage. As the silver cannot, however, all be parted at a
profit from the gold, the law permits it to constitute one-tenth of the
alloy of gold coins, but without valuation. In the case of silver bullion
containing gold, the regulations require it to be separated from the
silver to the extent to which it can be done with advantage to the depositor or the Government 5 that is to say, the gold is separated from the
silver in all cases where its value equals or exceeds the expense of the
operation. Th'e test made, as described, shows that the gold coins contain ouly a sraall portion of the silver allowed by law to remain as alloy,
and that where gold is present in the silver coins it amouuts to only a
trace.
It should also be added, that in assaying fine gold before adding the
alloy (copper) and gold ingots for coinage at the diff'erent mints, and in
the test assays of coins by the assay commission, the gold is reported
to the one-ten-thousandth part, while in the case of crude bullion fractions between the whole and half thousandths are disregarded.
The reason for the distinction in reporting fine and crude bullion is,
that the one is free from all base metals, while the other may, and often
does, contain base metals and foreign substances, and which render it
proper to disregard the minute fractions as stated.
In making assays of gold only a small quantity, but such as will represent the whole mass to be tried, is taken fbr the purpose. The normal weight now generally adopted for a gold assay is the demigram; not
quite eight grains troy. This stands for one thousand, and there is a
series of lesser weights down to one-thousandth or degree, and which
is again divided into tenths. In the French mint gold is reported to
the one-ten-thousandth degree; also at the mint at San Francisco, as re
DIREJDTOR OF THE MINT.

spects deposits of fine gold. Some discretion is usually exercised by
assayers in this and other countries as to the reporting or disregarding
of the last division or smallest weight. The assay-beam used in weighing is so constructed as to be of the utmost precision and delicacy, and
so fine is the adjustment, that it is sensible to less than the twentieth of
a milligram, or the one-tenth of a .thousandth of the unit or normal
weight of the assay.

SPECTROSCOPIC ASSAY.
As the question of assaying by the aid of the spectroscope has lately
engaged the attention of the assay department in the Mint at Philadelphia and assay-office New Y'ork, as also ofthe royal mint in London, and
elsewhere, it gives me pleasure to place in the appendix interesting statements on the subject, prepared at my request by Wilham E. Du Bois, esq.,
assayer of the Philadelphia Mint, and Herbert G. Torrey, esq., assayer
of the New York assay-office,- and obligingly transmitted by the superintendents of those institutions.
It may also be interesting to state that a number of assays, made at
the Philadelphia Mint of the| fine gold used for proofs in the London
mint, lately sent for that purpose with acourtesey and confidence which
it is very pleasant to acknowlledge, have proven the exact correspondence of their proof-gold with purs. The same thing is occasionally done
among our own mints, and with a like result.
It is gratifying to find in the ample and able reports of t h e London
mint that they do not confine ithemselves to details of their own work,
but look abroad and collect whatever is important of the doings of other
mints or of the coinage-enactmjents of other countries. The same course
is pursued here.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The coinage of the mints from the 30th of June to 30th of September, 1874, amounted to $13,192,332, mostly from bullion of domestic
production.
It is impossible to estimate, even approximately, the amount of specie
finding its way out of or into the country by private hands, and not
embraced in the custom-house returns. It would be safe, I think, to
offset one against the other.
The amount carried out of the country by persons visiting Europe is,
there are reasons to believe, generally estimated too high, especially since
the system of letters of credit has become so widely extended, and
which, with bills of exchange, have rendered the carrying of coin from
one country to another entirely unnecessary, particularly as respects
the several countries which are associated in modern civilization.
On the other hand, the amount of coin brought into the United States
by emigrants is probably underrated. That class of people are always,
disposed to carry a portion of their effects in the form of gold and silver coin, with the value of which they are familiar, and with the knowledge that the same will be freely received everywhere in exchange for
any article they may require.
AMOUNT OF GOLD AND SILVER COIN AND BULLION IN THE WORLD.
Inquiries are frequently made as to the amount of gold and silver existing in the world in the form of coin and bullion, and as to the increase
since the discovery of the mines of Californa and Australia. Anything
like an accurate estimate upon the subject is utterly impossible, for although the annual production for several decades and the total coinages
of different countries may be approximately stated, the fact that the
amount of recoinages, and of precious metals used in the arts duriug
even the last twenty-five years, cannot be reliably ascertained, would
render the estimate of no practical value. Such information as we have
been able to obtain upon the subject will be found in the appendix, and
which, includes a communication and statements from E. W. Raymond,
Commissioner of Mining Statistics. When all the replies to our circular
of last year shall have been received the amount of the present production can be arrived at with reasonable accuracy. The opinion has often
been advanced that the large amount of gold yielded by the mines of
the United States and Australia has produced an engorgement in the
markets of the world. That such was the effect during the first five
years after these mines w^ere opened and during which period the maximum production was reached, and that a general advance in prices-followed, may be safely admitted; but the undeniable fact that leading countries, like the United States, Russia, Austria, France, and Italy, are compelled to use inconvertible paper-money, not from choice, but because
they have not sufficient coin for a specie basis, would appear to show conclusively that there is not too much gold, and especially as no one country appears to possess a redundancy. This fact, and particularly when
itis considered that the annual production of gold is gradually decreasing, vShould dispel any fears which may be entertained of its future
decline in value relatively to land, labor, and commodities.
The world^s stock of precious metals is generally estimated at from
ten to twelve thousand millions of dollars^ nearly equally divided as to
the two metals. The estimate appears to be based on the assumption
that the stock at the commencement of the fifteenth century amounted to
two thousand millions, and that from eight to ten thousand millions have

205
since been added, principally from the mines of North and South
America and Australia.
The present production of glold being estimated at one hundred millions and silver eighty millions, would give an annual addition to the
accumulated stock of I J per cent. The estimates of the earlier writers
must be taken with a good many grains of allowance 5 and generally in
connection with this subject, and its practical bearing upon the affairs
of the present period, it may be proper to observe that there have been
so many important changes inj monetary systems and in the financial
and industrial condition of different countries, as well as redistributions
of specie, during the last half|century, as to render the statements and
conclusions on various points connected therewith contained.in the old
standard works comparatively!useless.
The period referred to has been oneof unparalleled activity and prog• ress, and the utilization of stdam and electricity in the intercourse of
nations, and the great extension of international credits, have eff'ected
a comx)lete revolution in the commerce of the world. These important
changes have not, however, Enabled the world to dispense with the
precious metals as the common measure of value and medium of exchange. On the contrary, those metals remain in that respect, the same
as they were at the commencement of authentic history, the only money
of universal recognition and uinlimited acceptance.
In this connection it affords ine pleasure to acknowledge the courtesy
of Baron Bussirr^, director of the mint at Paris, who furnished this
Office with valuable information in relation to the amount of coin in
France.
i
In concluding this report, li desire to express my acknow^ledgments
to the officers, clerks, and eniploy6s of the several mints and assayoffices, and to the clerks of the Bureau, for the faithful performance of
their duties, and to which the satisfactory results of the largely-increased
business ofthe Mint Establishment may be mainly attributed.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,

Statement exhihiting the average weight,\ fineness, and value of foreign coins as determined hy
United), States Mint assays.
EXPLANATORY R E M A R K S .
^ I
\
1. The weight is expressed in fractions of an ounce troy, agreeing with the terms used in
the United States mints.
.!
If it is desired to have the weight ofi any piece in grains, regard the thousandths of an
ounce as integers, take their half, from iwhich deduct four per cent, of that half, and the remainder will be grains.
. . The fineness is expressed in thousandth parts ; ?. e,, so many parts of pure gold or silver
in ] ,000 parts of the coin. The old carat system is generally abandoned, (except for jewelry,)
but it may be worth while to say that 4 l | thousandths equal one carat.
3. The valuation of gold is at the legal rate of 25.8 grains, 900 fine, being equal to one
dollar ; or $20,672 (nearly) per ounce of fine gold; with the deduction of coinage charge,- i of
one per cent.
^^
4. For the silver there is no fixed legal valuation, as compared with gold. The price paid
at the mints varies according to demand and supply, but is stationary for considerable periods
at a time, and is now 118 cents per ounce 900 fine, payable in subsidiary coin, at which rate
the values are given in the table.

REPORT ON T H E
FINANCES.
5. These tables generally give the one principal coinof each country, from which the
other sizes are easily deducted. Thus when the franc system is used, there are generally
gold pieces of 40, 20, 10, and 5 francs, all in due proportion. But in silver, the fractional
coins are very often of less intrinsic value than the normal coin, proportionally. These are
seldom exported.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The act of Congress entitled ''An act to amend the customs-revenue
laws and to repeal moieties," approved June 22,1874, is a wide departure
from the settled policy of the Government from the organization of its
customs system in 1799; but, whether for better or worse, is a matter
Avhich has-been fully discussed by the ablest minds of the country, and
can only be determined by the test of an earnest endeavor to faithfully
administer the law as we find it, and the teachings of a carefully observant experience under its workings.
The evils of the moiety system, in its practical administration, were
undoubtedly, great, and by its enactment of repeal, June 22, 1874, Congress axipears to have rendered its judgmenti that they were greater
than the evils the system was designed to prevent.
.So far as a faithful and zealous execution of the new law by this Bureau can effect that object, the judgment of Congress against the moiety
sj^stem shallbe sustained; but it is yet too early to state what the result
has been, or to predict intelligently what the. ultimate result willbe,
upon the revenue and the mercantile classes.
While the now-repealed laws relating to the enforcement of fines, forfeitures, and penalties, and their distribution, Avere on the statute-books,
it Avas undeniable that thiere was a separation oif interests between the
Government and its employ^, the custom-house officer. The Government interest required the prevention of fraud on the revenue by the
swift, certain, and s.evere punishment of offenders, whenever and whereever detected 5 but the interest of the custom-house officer lay, not in
the suppression of fraud, but in its subsequent discovery, and its punishment by civil instead of criminal process, so that there might be a
resulting sum of money, in the distribution of which he was t o share.
The consequence of such' a condition of things was, that customs
. officials were often oppressively zealous in their pursuit of evidence
that might be turned into iDecuniary profit, sometimes unscrupulous as
to legal forms and ethical rules in getting at their information, and too
often indiscriminate in their x>iirsuit of so-called offenders. The mercantile community came to regard the customs-service rather as an
agency of iDcrsonal iirofit to those w^ho obtained admission into it than
as a part of the machineiy of a popular government for collecting the
revenue necessary to its support, and to look upon the customs officer
rather as a parasite, unlawfully living upon themselves, than as a public servant in honorable service. In the Treasury Department, likewise,
embarrassment was caused by the pecuniary relation' of local customs
and law officers to cases of alleged violations of law. The Secretary
and Solicitor, anxious to do justice between the Government and the
importer, were liable to be misled, and were constantly apprehensive of
misstatement as to the true facts of any case wh0rein the contingent interest of the officers in immediate charge of it Avas opposed to an open
and prompt prosecution, discontinuance, or compromise.
It is not an overstatement of the case to say that, owing to the multiplicity and obscurity of the revenue-laws prior to their late codification,
the complexity of the machinery for their execution, and the unhealthy
stimulus to greed due to the continuing existence of great frauds, and
the means taken for their prevention and discovery, a large, intelligent,
ahd public-spirited class of citizens had, to a lamentable degree, come
to look upon their Government as alien in interest and hostile in feeling
to themselves.
>
What Congress has done to rempA^e so unjust and dangerous a sentiment may be seen from a summary of the pertinent provisions of the
recent act. In the abolition of moieties thelaw takes from the customs

223
)fficer his pecuniary incentiA^e to distort or magnify innocence or heedessness into crime, and remove from him the reproach under which all
ipies and informers, for contingent rcAvards, labor in. popular estimation. In abolishing the seizure of books and papers, and substituting
}herefor their production by due and regular process in open court, it
removes from the importer one of his best-founded causes of complaint;
:hat is, the complaint of business interrupted and broken np and the
violation of his constitutional right of exemption from unreasonable
search and seizure. In establishing a fund to compensate informers
against undervaluations aud false invoices, who are not in public employ, it adds Avhat seems to be a reasonable auxiliary to the watchfulness
of regularly-]3aid officers. And it may be appropriate to suggest here
that, as the ncAV laAv leaves so much to the honor and honesty of the
importers themselves, it is not unreasonable to expect some service from,
bhem in the detection of frauds, both from motiA^es of patriotism and
of that self-interest that AvJll not quietly permit the breaking up of
an honest business by the dishonest competition of perjurers and smugglers. In the continuation of rewards to customs-officers for the detection of smuggling, recognition is given to the unquestionably arduous
and protracted nature of the detectiA^e-service on coast and frontier,
which has not itself been a cause of great complaint, like the detectiveservice, connected with the undervaluation of goods and fraudulent invoices.
Other sections of the act require only the forfeiture of the package with
Avhich a fraud is connected, instead of the entire in\^oice, as formerly;
lorovide exemption from forfeiture in cases where any costs, charges,
and commissions have been omitted from an invoice by mistake or neglect; require the question of an.intent to defraud to be passed upon
separately and distinctly, and affirmatively decided by a judge or jury,
before any fine or forfeiture can accrue in any case; grant to an alleged
offender a summary judicial inquiry on demand, in order that the remitting or mitgating poAver of the Secretary may be immediately exercised in ascertained cases of technical offense; forbid compromises by
auy official other than the Secretary of/the Treasury; settle forever
every custom-house transaction, wherein there is no fraud discovered,
Avithin one year from its occurrence; and put an estoppel upon suits of
any kind within three years after the transaction, if the parties or goods
haA^e not been out of reach in that time.
Upon contrasting the act of June 22,1874, with acts which it expressly
or by implication repeals, it is easy to perceive A ^ y some experienced
Ah
and trusted officers of the customs are alarmed at the extent of the reaction indicated by its provisions. In this connection, permit me to call
attention to the following vigorously-expressed extract from the very
able annual report, for the fiscal year ending June 30,1867, of the Hon.
Nathan Sargent, one of my predecessors:
By the act of March 2, 1799, he who gives information upon which forfeitures are
made for violations ofthe revenue-laws is entitled to one-fourth of the amount of such
forfeitures, after deducting necessary expenses. It has heen by means of this incentive
that so large an amountof smuggled goods have been seized during the past year;
withdraw it, and smuggling will become not only a profitable business, but one that
may he prosecuted with comparatively little risk. I t is this hope of gain, thus held
out, which induces the inhabitants, farmers and others, along, the frontier to give information, to special agents and otber officers of customs, of smuggling going on near
them, or which is intended to be effected. They give this information, invariably, under an assurance that their names are not to be made known, otherwise their property,
if not their lives, would be in peril. AVithdraw this iuducemenfc, and their lips would
224
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
It is earnestly hoped, however, that these apprehensions of increased
smuggling and enormous frauds may not be realized, but that both
officials and importers, by being on a better footing toward each other,
may act together for the prevention of such frauds and abuses as might
necessarily lead to the re-enactment of, stringent legislation; for it is
not to be supposed that Congress Avill suffer the revenue to be diminished, the protective features ofthe tariff tobe impaired, or honest taxpaying-merchants to be driven out of business by smuggling, or its
kindred crimes.
Inasmuch as the frauds on the-customs-reA^enue are mostly those of
undervaluation, not always discernible a t t h e time, and requiring for
their detection the skilled judgment of experts, to be exercised with
much patience and perseverance, it may turn out by experience to be
necessary to devise some means of rewarding customs-officers who may
be instrumental in securing either criminal convictions or ciAil penalties,
though such a necessity, if developed, would not imperatively require
the restoration of moieties. But, in the mean time, till such necessity
is conclusively shown, the officers under the supervision of this Office
wiU Iiot be allowed to plead the absence of special reward as a justification for indifference or neglect in the discharge of their duties, viz, the
detection and preA^ention of frauds upon the revenue.
In order to gi\"e the law an ad\"antageous trial, and prevent the
diminution of the revenue, as apprehended by maiiy, it will be necessary to sustain it with all the adjuncts of success suggested by experience. In this connection, it may be stated that thebest mode of arresting the evil of undeff aluation of goods has occupied the thoughtful
attention of some of our largest importing merchants, whose feelings
and interests are thoroughly in accord with those of the GoA^ernment
One of the niethods suggested is to raise the standard of qualification
of examiners, and increase their pay, so as to command the services of
thoroughly competent meii. This much having been accomplished, and
the existing laws having been so amended as to require a more thorough inspection, it is proposed to have the entries aud merchandise
examined with reference to quality and value by the official with the
same care as they would be by a person intending to purchase the
goods. By appointing examiners of integrity and fitness in sufficient
numbers, it is belieA^ed that the appalling encroachments of undervaluation can be successfully combated, and that the expenditure of a
few thousands in this way will be compensated by turning many millions into the E'ational Treasury. This theory is sustained by our merchants with but few exceptions,, and approved by our most experienced
customs officials.
I t appears that the laws of the General GoA^ernmeht, authorizing
warrants of search for smuggled goods, are defective, and often inoperative, inasmuch as there is no United States official who i s empowered
to issue these writs. The,act of March 2, 179"9, section 68,.provides
that '•'any person appointed by the surveyor, collector, or naval officer,
shall be entitled to a warrantirom any justice of the peace, upon proper
application on oath, to enter and search for smuggled goods any particular store, dwelling-house, building, or other place.'^ Justices of the
peace are officers of local jurisdiction, acting under authority of State
laws, and as such are not now, nor can they be, compelled to perform
as a duty the function contemplated by this act, and it is often the case
that they delay of wholly refuse these warrants of search to officials of
the revenue. It is; therefore, thought .ad\qsable to call the attention of.
Congress to this matter for further legislation. " If commissioners of the

United States were authorized and required, under proper safeguards,
to perform these duties, it is thought that the difficulties complained of
would be obviated.
I t is estimated by many that the American tourists returning from Europe
during the year (finding Juue 30, 1873, numbered 36,830, and that each
person brought, on an average, seven trunks filled with dutiable goods
claimed to be piersonal baggage not dutiable. We haA^e thus an aggregate of 257,810 trunks filled with articles claimed as duty free, representing, on a valiiation df five hundred dollars for each ttunk, the enormous sum of $128,905,000. I t is Avell known that much of this baggage is ih reality intended to be put upon the market as merchandise,
and that still other portions of it are brought ovei: for third parties,
who haA^e remained at home. Most of those engaged ih this form of
importation are.people of wealth, who should cheerfully bear their just
proportion of the national indebtedness^ and when they fail to do so
by this incipient form of smuggling^ the burden falls more heavily on
others, and discourages the honest merchant, who is vFilling to carry
on a legiti tn ate trade, and observe thelaWs and customs regulations.
Thepresent practice of allowing the free entry of personal effects of
passengers—the inspectors using their discretion, and judging a^ to
A^^hether the amoiint of baggage is or is not in excels of what is a suitable wardrobe, acbording to the passehger's station iri life^furnifehes
an inducement to the rich and those in easy circunistances to take
pleasure trips abroad which are made pecuniarily profitable by this
fashionable infraction of the reA^enue. As a large prbportion 6f the
baggage of j)assengers is passed and delivered by our officials without
a proper exahiihation, more stringent regulations should be adopted to
secure the collectioh of the lawful duties on goods thus impbrted. A
ehange in forms seems to be necessary, so as to require a;ll £lrticles of
baggage to be eiitered oh the declaration of the passenger, ahd the duties
thereon deterihiiied by the proper Officer, instead of leaving all to be
disposed Of by the passenger oh his mere aMeveration. The A^erificatioii
thereon should be in the form of an oath or affirm ation sufficiently comprehensive in form and substance to protect the interests Ofthe Government, and an officer should be aii thorized to administer such oath or
af&rmation. To this end legislation hiay be necessar5> Many of the
difficulties Avith respect to passengers' baggage might be avoided by the
passage of a law limiting the value to be broiight in by any one person
to a rea;Sonable sum certain.
By the provisions of the ^ct of Jiiiy 14, 1870, the ambunt of household effects Avhich cOuld be iraported by an immigrant free of duty was
limited to $500, but unfortunately this limitation was inadvertently
removed by the codification of 1874, under which siich effects to any
amount may be brought in free; and l a i n informed that since,the codification Avent into operation large impoi'tations are being made in effects
of this kind.
The statute laws contemplate that ah importatioil, to be legal, must
be made thrbiigh the custom-house, arid landed by authority of a permit
from tbe cbilectof, and that all importations illegally made shall be liable
to seizure ahd forfeiture. But, under the cohstrriction given to certain
\ j>ostal treaties betweeii the Government and foreign powers, not only
i are such dutiable articles as books, maps, plans, prints, ehgravings,
drawings^ photographs, sample patterns of merchandise, seedSj and
ctittings, held to be.legally transmissible through the mails^ but many
Other articles not specifically named in treaties may be put up in a
sealed package, prepaid, registered, or otherwise treated as a letter,

and sent through the mails to the United States. It seems to be a wellestablished fact that this system of importing goods is increasing, it
being found to be a safe, rapid, and economical mode of obtaining from
abroad small and A-aluable parcels of goods. As the laws are silent on
this subject, there are no means of preventing the practice.
With regard to the mailable matter commonly described as bookpackets, newspapers, and sample-packages, no difficulty arises that
administrative regulations may not remove, as such matter does not
possess the attribute of inviolability, but is expressly subjected to
inspection by the postal authorities, who, on finding unauthorized dutiable articles therein, are required to turn, them over to the revenue
officers. The case is different, however, with respect to letters and
other sealed packages which are inviolable, and not to be unnecessarily detained on the route to destination, and no course is open to the
customs authorities other than to induce the owner of such package to
come forward without delay at the place of first arrival and open it in
the presence of a customs officer, or, failing in that, to let it go^forward
to the office of destination, and haA^e a custoins officer present a t t h e
opening there. If the owner declines to come forward or to open the
letter, he of course loses the possession and use of his goods, and the
Government loses the duty thereon. If the office of destination be distant from a custom-house or station, it may not be possible to have a
customs officer present, in which case there is no one to secure or collect
the duties, or ascertain whether the law is being broken. Some legislation would seem to be necessary on this subject, and it is suggested that
postmasters should be made ex-officio officers of the customs to inspect
the goods and estimate and collect the duties thereon in case of importations through the mails of small parcels of limited A^alue.
Great care has been taken and much expense incurred to secure cars
with locks which could not be opened without leaving indubitable
evidence of fhe fact; and to this end the glass-seal lock was adopted,
after an examination by scA^eral boards of survey. Assuming these
locks to be all in point of excellence that is claimed for them by the
owners, the A^ery important fact seems to have been overlooked that
the cars them sel A^es might be opened without in the least disturbing
the locks. For example, a staple might be drawn by which the lock
could be released or replaced, and the car door thrown open or closed
at will without breaking the glass seal i n t h e lock, or the door might
be entirely removed from its hangings by simply displacing a few
screws; or by the same means boards could be taken out, affording
ingress and egress Avith facility, for the purpose of, ad ding to or subtracting trom the lading. These points are suggestiA'-e of the fact that
the glass seal is of little availunless the car itself is made as secure as
the lock by which it is fastened.
The regulations governing the'transit trade pro Aide that the shipper
shall prepare triplicate manifests, giving a particular description of
the merchandise by packages, marks, numbers, and contents, to whom
consigned, distinguishing articles of flatiA^e from those of foreign
growth, production, or manufacture, and those free of duty or dutypaid from goods in bond subject to duty. I am informed that, as a
general rule, these requirements are not complied with in any one j
respect, except in the presentation of the manifests, which do not
contain any of the required particulars. Customs officials on the
frontier recommend the enforcement of'these regulations, and that
merchandise should be carefully inspected either at the port of shipment or at the port of exit to Canada. The inspection should be

221
sufficiently thorough to enable the officer to determine whether the
goods correspond in quantity, quality, and description with the manifest. By this it is not meant that the merchandise shall be actually
measured or weighed, or critically appraised, as in the case of entry for
Avarehouse or consumption, but the examination should be sufficient
to satisfy the inspector of the identity of the goods. A like inspection should be made at the port of return to the United States. A
complete record should be kept both at the port of exit and return of
all the shipments, setting forth at the port of exit the date of exit
the number and description of the car, place of inspection, contents,
destination, port of return, name of consignee, and place of final
destination. At the port of return the same particulars should be
recorded, and, in addition, the date of arrival and inspection at port
of return, and result of said inspection as to contents and condition
of seals. A full report should be made weeklj or monthly from each
office to the Commissioner of Customs.
The act of June 27,1864, and the customs regulations of 1874, provide
for the importation of dutiable merchandise from foreign contiguous territory in railway-cars under consular seal.
If the seal is found to be intact on reaching the first port of entry in
the United States, the car is permitted to proceed by continuous gauge
of railway to any port of entry in either of the States or Territories
without entry, bond, or inspection.
This law is understood to have been enacted to facilitate importations
from Montreal in Canada, via the Grand Trunk Eailway, into the collection-district of Portland, Me. Under the provisions of the law, however, cars may be loaded at Montreal for New Orleans or even San
Erancisco, ajid if, oh reaching the first port of the United States, the
seals be in perfect condition, they must be allowed to proceed to their
destination. Many of these cars are never heard from at the first port
of entry as required by the regulations.
This system is so imperfect in theory and practice as to lead to great
irregularities and abuses, and the promiot repeal or amendment of the
law is earnestly recommended, i
By referring to a list of custom-houses in the United States, exhibiting the transactions and cost of each, it will be found that there are
many doing little or no business, but which are maintained at considerable expense of salaries to officials, and the construction and repair of buildings, with the usual incidentals of such establishments.
In some instances it appears that there are no duties to be performed
worth mentioning, aside from the disbursement of salaries, and that the
official papers are limited almost Avholly to accounts of this character.
Ports of this kind have been created, in times past, without the Avarrant of necessity, while others have dwindled from places of comparative importance to this condition through changes in the currents of
commerce. By the abolition of such districts, and incorporating them
with others, large sums may be saved to the Government, but in most
instances legislation will be required for this purpose.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Commissioner of Customs.

the clerical force of the Office by the legislation of the last session of
Congress have been obviated.
The business of the First Auditor's Office is permanent in its character, and steadily increases in amount with each successive year. A
reference to the reports for fourteen fiscal years, commencing July 1,
18C0, and ending June 30, 1874, including the entire period of the war,
will exhibit an average increase of nearly one thousand accounts a
year, the greatest actual increase accruing since the close ofthe war.
The number of accounts received, examined, and adjusted in the •
Office during the last fiscal year largely exceeds that of any preceding ito
These facts render it necessary that the permanent force of the Office
should be increased, at least to the number employed prior to July last..
I beg leaA^e to commend the clerks and employes in the Office generally for fidelity and honesty in the discharge of their official duties.

INDIAN
DIVISION.
There is an increasing tendency on the part of the Office of Indian
Affairs to make disbursements through this Office by means of certi Lied
vouchers, which adds largely to. the duties of this division. These
vouchers are reported under the general head of claims, of which there
was an increase of 199 as compared with last year.
Under various calls for information, and instructions from the Second
Comptroller to prepare transcripts of the accounts of delinquent agents
for suit, a large amount of copying has been performed, covering 643
pages of folio post and 110 pages of legal cap.
The number of money accounts and property returns of Indian agents
and of claims for goods supplied and services rendered that have been
settled during the year are sbown in the following statement:

In addition to the foregoing, 389 affidavits, 191 applications, 658 final
statements, 363 letters, and 592 miscellaneous documents have been
copied; and a copy of the register of paymasters^ accounts was made
for the purpose of checking amounts credited to the National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Two hundred and fifty cases of overpayments and double payments were discovered and reported, in order that
charges might be raised against the payees. In 26 cases, involving
$2,594.94, overpayments to enlisted men, where it would be ihipracticable to recover at present, the proper steps have been taken to stop the
amount from any arrears of pay, &c., that may be due them.

Notwithstanding the satisfactory report and the earnest effort of this
branch of the Office, it will be seen that the nuinlier of cases requiring investigation and prosecution is yet on the increase.j This may be accounted
for by the fact that since thb transfer of the Freedmen's Bureau to the
Wa>Y Department, many frauds and malpractices have been discovered
in the payment of colored sUdiers, or. their heirs, by the subagents of
the late Commissioner of the Bureau, and freshi complaints continue to
be made, which require investigation.
\
All that could reasonably! have been expected, has been done by the
officers and agents of the Adjutant-General's Office, Solicitor ofthe Treasury, and United States distHct officers, to aid this Office in the recovery
of money, the suppression of wrong, and the vindication of law; and
with their continued co-operation and the enacllment of a law extending
the limitation created by ttie act of April 30, 1790, in forgery cases, and
affording proper facilities for investigating cases and examining witnesses in localities where frauds are suspected, preliminary to action by
the Department of Justice,!it is believed that t|he Office can more effectually resist and punish attempts at fraud in the bounty-claim busiuess.

In addition to the foregoing, 54,457 letters were written relating to
the miscellaneous business of the Office, making a total of 237,485
letters.
The average number of clerks employed during the year was 248.
The following statements and reports were prepared and transmitted:
252
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury of the transactions of
the Office during the iiscal year.
I
Annual statement of the recruiting fund^ prepared for the AdjutantGeneral of the Army.
|
Annual statement of the contingencies of the Army, prepared for the
Secretary of War.
|
Annual statenient of the clerks and other persons employedin this
Office during the fiscal year, or any part thereof, showing the amount
paid to each on account of salary, with place; of residence, &c., in pursuance of section 11 of the act of August 12, 1842, and resolution of the
House of Eepresentatives of January 13, 184|6, transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury.
|
List of employes in this Office on September 30, 1873, showing the
State or Territory from which each person was,appointed to office, the
State or country in which he was born, and t|he compensation given to
each, transmitted to the Eegister of the Treasury in accordance with
the acts of Congress of September 5, 1859, and March 2, 1861.
Monthly ^tabular statement showing the business transacted in the
Office during the month, and the number of accounts remaining unsettled at the close of the month, transmitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury.
i
Monthly report of absence from duty of employes, with reasons therefor, transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury..
Pay-rolls upon which payment was made to tjhe employ6s of this Office,
prepared semi-monthly.
i
The results of the past year's labors show ku encouraging reduction
of accumulated business in some of the branches of the Office, but there
still remains much unfinished, that cannot be iexecuted with the present
diminished clerical force, which is scarcely sufficient to perform the current work. Some portions of this business may not be regarded as pressing, but, if it is necessary to be done at all, it ?kVould seem to be wiser to
dispose of it now, than to leave it to the chances of aii indefinite and
uncertain future. Of this character, I will refer to the repairs that are
necessary for the preservation of the muster ajnd pay rolls ofthe Army,
that are the' only vouchers, in the accounts ojf paymasters, for the disbursement of hundreds of millions of dollars, and which, by reason of
the poor quality of paper used, and of their ifrequent handling in the
settlement of those accounts and of the claims i)f soldiers and their heirs,
and for the purpose of answering inquiries I from other offices, have
become so torn and otherwise injured, as to Ipe almost unfit for use as
official papers. There are about 200,000 of them.requiring careful repairs and many will need to be copied.
I
For the jjurpose of showing the frequent |reterence that is made to
these rolls, I will here state, that 74,108 were withdrawn from and returned to the files during the last fiscal year.
Since July 1, 1874, the division of inquiries and replies has fallen in
arrears 8,961 cases, notwithstanding it has been allowed all the clerks
that could possibly be spared to it. To briig up the arrears of this
division and perform the current work during the present fiscal year
more clerks are needed than can now be assigned to that duty.
The investigations and reports of this brancli. are important, being for
the information of the various Offices of the War Department,the Pension
Office, the Third and Fourth Auditors, and inj aid of the settlements of
the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.

From these tables it appears that the whole number of claims and
mouey accounts settled, from March 4, 1817, to June 30, 1861, was
37,408, and that from June 30, 1861, to June 30, 1874, the number of
suchsettlementswas917,007,involving$l,780,440,922.00. If to this number is added the clairas examined and rejected, 216,611, it appears that
1,133,618 claims and money accounts have been settled and disposed of
in the last thirteen years.
The tables also show that, in the same time, 1,137,757 property accounts
have been adjusted, 3,450,489 letters have been written, and that 834,834
certificates from the rolls have been made to the Paymaster-General and
other officers.
It affords me great pleasure to bear testimony to the ability and fidelity of the gentlemen employed in this Of^ce.
I am, sir, very respectfully,

The regular work of the division has been kept up to its full standard notwithstanding the fact that-the average number employed in the
division since March last was 55, and during the year 5%, being ten
less than for the fiscal year immediately preceding.
In addition thereto, a large amount of labor has been performed in
the adjustment of claims of employes of the Quartermaster's Department, for extra compensation, as authorized under section 2 of the act
of Congress approved May 18, 1872. (Chap. 172.)
The tabular statement below exhibits the number and amountof such
claims received and the findings thereon, although, on account of their
peculiar nature, and the difficulty experienced in obtaining definite information from many of the officers under whose direction the services
Avere rendered, without which a proper adjustment could not be made,
it affords only an imperfect idea of the whole labor performed in coniiection with them.

together with a provi{?ion-returu, showing the disposition of provisions
and stores j)urchased or derived from other sources. These accounts
are received through the Commissary-General of Subsistence, and are
examined and audited in this division. The money accounts and
vouchers, together with a certified statement of the result of said examinations, are then referred to the Second Comptroller of the Treasury for revision. Upon their return from the Comptroller, with the
settlement approved, the officers are notified of the result, and called
upon to adjust or explain any omissions or errors that may have been discovered. The money and provision accounts, together with the vouchers
and papers belonging thereto, are then placed in the settled-files for
future reference, and remain permanently in the custody of this Office.

DIVISION.
This division has charge of the settlement of all accounts which, pertain to the payment of Arm^^ pensions.
The Commissioner of Pensions reports monthly to this Office the name
of each pensioner, with the ntimber of certificate, rate and date of commencement ofeach pension granted; also, all transfers of pensioners from
one agency to another.
"
These reports are recorded on roll-books prepared for each agenc.y, in
which are noted opposite the name of each pensioner any increase or
reduction of rate, or date of termination of pension by death or remarriage, &c., as may be necessary.
Pension agents forward their accounts at the end of every month
directly to this Office, where they are audited as soon as practicable, and
reported to the Second Comptroller for revision. Upon his approval,
they are returned and placed in the settled files of this Office, the agents
being duly notified of any errors existing in them, and required to correct them. The accounts of each fiscal year are audited separately, and
unexpended balances in the hands of agents at such periods are to be
deposited in the United States Treasury, as provided for under act of
July 12, 1870.
In case any defalcation occurs, the transcripts and papers necessary
for suit are prepared and sent to the Second Comptroller, who, by law,
directs the prosecution.
Under act July 8,1870, pensioners are paid quarterly, instead of semiannually, as heretofore, which more than doubles the labor in the examinatiou and auditing of the accounts. Act February 14, 1871, granted

pensions to the survivors of the war of 1812 who served sixty days, and''
to widows who married prior to the treaty of peace.
The number who have received pensions under this act is 24,695.
The act of June 6, 1866, which granted disabled soldiers fifteen,
twenty, and twenty-five dollars per month, was amended by that of
June 8, 1872, so that they are now entitled to eighteen, twenty-four, and
thirty-one and twenty-five hundredth dollars per month. The number
receiving this increase is 23,568.

Twenty-four special settlements were made, not included in the
tabular statement above, being supplemental to accounts previously
examined.
Act February 2, 1872, provides that where checks, issued by a disbursing-officer, have been lost or destroyed, and remain outstanding
more than six months, the claimant can obtain payment from the Treasury on filing bond of indemnit^^
The number of settlements of this class during the year was 114,
amounting to $5,202.
In addition to auditing accounts and attending to current duty, it
became necessary to copj^ and transcribe the names of all pensioners
into new books, Accordingly, 120 new books, of 300 pages each, were
prepared, and arranged for transferring these names. It required considerable time and labor to space-off and divide the books for the different agencies. So far, 73 books have been copied, involving the transscribing of over 140,000 names.
The force of this division duriug the year averaged fifty-two clerks
and two copyists.
The following tabular statement exhibits the amount paid at the several agencies during the year ending June 30, 1874:

to the Commissioner of Pensions for his action. Four hundred and
twelve claims for bounty-land have been examined and reported to the
Commissioner of Pensions. Four hundred and sixty-three letters have
been written on subjects relating to the w^ar of 1812, and the war of
the Eevolution.
There are ten lady copyists assigned to this OfSce, and tbey have
been usefully einployed. The number of pages of difference copied was
4,089, miscellaneous papers 7,870, letters recorded 5,593 j total, 17,552;
an increase of 2,679 pages over the numberof last year. Numberof

satisfaction. 1 am pleased again to acknowledge the co-operation I have
received from Mr. Moore, my chief clerk, and from other able and faithful clerks.
In consequence of the reduction made in the clerical force of this
Office at tiie last session of Congress, 1 have been obliged to make a corresponding reduction in some portions of the work; but have, neverthe- .
less, endeavored to keep up with the current business. I must also say
that this Office, in common with others in the Department, suffers for
want of sufficient room. In consequence of having lately been deprived
of one room, the Record Division is very inconveniently divided 5 it is
severed from its necessary files, and its efficiency is impaired.
I have the honor to be, sir, with esteem and respect, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,

O F F I C E OF T H E A U D I T O R OF THE TREASURY
F O R THE P O S T - O F F I C E DEPARTMENT,
Octoher 10, 1874.
S I R : I have the honor to submit the following report of the business
operations of this Office for the fiscal year ended June 30,1874. My annual report to the Postmaster-General, now in course of preparation, will
exhibit in detail the financial transactions of the Post-Office Department for the past fiscal year.
<
^
A comparison of the tables and statements of the present report with
those contained in my report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1873,
shows a large increase of business in ea'ch division of this Bureau, especially in the money-order division.
EXAMINING DIVISION—BENJAMIN LIPPINCOTT, PRINCIPAL EXAMINER.
This division receives and audits the quarterly accounts current of all
post-offices in the United States. It is divided into four 'subdivisions,
viz, the opening-room, the stamp-rooms, the examining corps proper,
and the error-rooms.
1. The opening-room: All returns, as soon as received, are opened, and
if found in order according to regulations, are entered on the register,
carefully folded and tied, and then forwarded to the stamp-rooms.
The number of quarterly accounts-current received during each quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1874, was as follows :
Third quarter 1873
Fourth quarter 1873
First quarter 1874
Second quarter 1874
Total
32,578
33,106
33,678
33, 425
132,787
Excess over last fiscal year, 6,180.
2. The stam'p-rooms: The quarterly returns received from the openingroom are divided alphabetically among eight stamp-clerks, whose duties
-consist in comparing the stamp-statements of the iiostmasters in the accounts-current with their own books, and the returns made to them from
the stamp-division of the finance office, whence stamp-orders are issued
and receij)ts for the same received and forwarded to the stamp-clerks.
The returns thus approved or corrected are passed to the examiners.
All accounts from offices of the first and second classes are passed
through the various subdivisions of the Office in advance of other returns,
;so that they may reach the chief examiner aud his assistants with as
little delay as possible.

3. The examining-corjjs proper is composed of seventeen clerks, among
whom the returns received from the stamp-rooms are divided by sections, each comprising several States or parts of States.
The average number to each section is about 1,900. After the examination of the accounts-current and the stamp-account, reviewing and
refooting the transcript of mails received, aud examining all vouchers
belonging to that portion of the work, the balance is drawn on all accounts of the third, fonrth, aud fifth classes. The returns thus examined
and completed are forwarded to the registering division to be entered
upon its books.
The number of acconnts examined and sent to the registering division
for the fiscal year was as follows:

DIVISION-
The general postal accounts of postmasters, and those of late postmasters, until fully stated, are in charge of this division. The number
of accounts is 50,749, an increase of 4,978 during the year, and an
average of 3,625 to each of the fourteen sections.
The offices of the first, second, and third classes are called ^ presiden^
tial,^' and from them are derived nineteen-twentieths of the postal
revenues. I t is therefore necessity that the accounts of postmasters at
these offices should receive early attention, that any failure to pay
indebtedness, or to comply with instructions, may be promptly ascertained and acted upon. During the first two months of each quarter,
the items of the *' presidential" accounts for the preceding quarter have
beeii stated from the earliest records made in the Office, then compared
Aviththe statements rendered by postmasters, the differences investigated,
and special instructions given, that the postmaster may use the audited
balance in making his payments, and in rendering his accouut for the
current quarter.
.
Those of the general postal accounts of postmasters at offices of the
foiirtli class, showing debit balances of $10 or more, as stated from the
ledgers each quarter, have had the items of the succeeding quarter
added, as in the case of ^^presidential" offices; if such sums were still
due, special instructions were given to include the amounts in the payments for the current quarter. The items of the remaining accounts of
t\\^ fourth class were stated as soon as thc}^ could be obtained from the
ledgers. Statements of such of them as showed debit balances of $1 or
more, when stated and balanced with the ledgers to the close of the
332
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
fiscal year ended June 30,1873, were sent to the postmasters, with instructions, before the 31st of December, 1873.
The accounts of late postmasters have been revised monthly to secure
an early adjustment; and all such accounts have recently been fully
stated, to the latest dates, for use in the annual report of this Office to
the Postmaster-General.
The keeping of the record of statements rendered, each quarter, by
the ''presidential" offices, the preparing of circulars of instructions to
postmasters, and various other duties, are assigned to a miscellaneous
clerk. To the principal clerk is assigned the general supervision of the
division, the correspondence on the general postal accounts of postmasters at ''presidential" offices, and on such special cases as may be
referred to him.
Although the work of the division -has been unusually heavy, itscondition is entirely satisfactory. The details are more fully shown by

REPORT OF TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES.
REPOET
OF THE
TRSEASURER OF THE UNITED STATES,
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES,
Washington, Novemher 3, 1874.
SIR : Again, and for the fourteenth time since this Office was given
me in charge, it has become my duty to make to the honorable the Secretary of the Treasury the annual statement of the condition of the
Treasury of the United States. The statement is accompanied by remarks in regard to the present conduct of the Office, and suggestions as
to its future needs.
The tables that are appended will fully exhibit the transactions of the
Office in detail for the year ending with June 30,1874.
A comparison of the tables of receipts with those of the year preceding
shows a falling off from customs of $24,985,689.01, and of'$11,319,529.24
on account of internal revenue. IS'early if not the whole of the decrease
of receipts from the latter source is due to recent changes in the law,
while the^ falling off in the customs-duties seems to have been caused
solely by the panic that occurred learly in the fiscal year, and made
itself felt to the end. The people, in consequence of the stringency in
the money-market, became more economical in their expenditures for
foreign goods.
The expenditures, exclusive of those on account of the public debt, as
compared with the year before, have been decreased $1,869,652.49. Commendable as this retrenchment is, it is believed that it will be still
greater at the end of the current year.
I N C R E A S E ^ O F THE LABOR IN THE OFFICE.
By many members of Congress, and by other persons who have not
looked into the matter, it is supposed that the reduction of taxes, and
the consequent small decrease in the receipts and expenditures, must
necessarily have reduced the araount of labor required to be done fbr
the transaction of the public business of this Office. But such is far
from being the case j and, on the contrary, it has been largely increased.
All the machinery for the collection aud the disbursement of the public"
revenue remains.
The various offices of assistant treasurers, of designated depositaries, and of national banks designated as dei^ositaries of the public
moneys of the United States, whose duty it is to receive and to disburse
the public revenues, remain, and, as the country has grown, have been
increased, and extended. With all of these offices separate accounts
must be kept and settled. While, therefore, the gross amount of receipts and expenditures has fallen off, the number of accounts and the
number of items in the several accounts not only remain, bnt have been
increased.
350
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
This, the principal office, while it keeps accounts with one hundred
and fifty-three offices of assistant treasurers, designated depositaries^
and national banks acting as such depositaries, has in addition its own
accounts with disbursing officers. The labor in this branch has been
very largely increased by several provisions of law enacted by Congress
at its last and other recent sessions.
By the act of June 23, 1874, making appropriations for '^ sundry civil
expenses," an appropriation of $1,300,000 was made for the District of
Colurabia; in which act it is provided, " t h a t all sums due any party^
exceeeding $100, shall be paid only oh checks on the Treasury, issued
directly to the party to whom the same is due."
By an arrangement with the commissioiiiers, all their receipts from
taxes and from other sources are deposited, and all their disbursements
are made through the Treasury in the same way.
The same act provides: " That all moneys hereafter appropriated for
the aid, use, support, or benefit of any charitable, industrial, or other
association, liistitution, or corporation, shall be placed to the credit of
the proper fiscal officer of said association, institution, or corporation, by
warrant of the Secretary of the Treasury, on the books of the Treasurer
of the United States, or of an assistant treasurer or clesignated depositary of the United States, other than a national bank, and shall be paid
out only on the checks of such fiscal officer, drawn payable to the person to whom payment is to be made."
Similar provisions have, by prior but recent legislation, been applied
to the disbursing officers of the various departments of the Government, both civil and military, including payments to pensioners.
By the act of June 20,1874, '' amending the charter of the Freedman's
Savings and Trust Company," it is provided that "said cominissioners
shall deposit all sums collected by them into the Treasury of the United
States."
As the deposits of all receipts under this act are made in the Treasnry, so all expenditures by the commissioners are made by dralfts on
the same. When it is understood that the number of persons who have
deposits in this institution and its branches in the different States of
the Union exceed seventy thousand, and that the dividends to be made
from time to time will be made by checks payable to each of the several
depositors individually, some idea may be formed of the additional labor
that will be thrown upon this Office.
The act of June 20,1874, entitled ''An act fixing the amountof United
States notes, providing for the redistribution of the national-bank currency, and for other purposes," has, independently of the creation of an
entirely new division, thrown a vast amount of additional labor upon
the old divisions of this Office.
The national-bank-note redemption agency is required to have its
funds deposited in the Treasury of the United States. The 5 per cent,
on the circulating notes of the national banks so required to be deposited amounts to about $17,000,000. This amount, and all amounts received to reimburse the Treasury for the notes of national banks redeemed, are received, counted, and accounted for, and all legal-tender
notes remitted in payment for national-bank notes sent here for redemption, must be remitted for through the cashier's office of the Treasury
proper. All this is independent of the work of counting, examining,
assorting, distributing, and delivering to the Comptroller, the currency
of national banks, that takes place in the national-bank note redemption agency.
The increase of national banks, and the constant exchange of one kind
TREASURER.
351
of United States stocks for another kind held by the Treasurer intrust for
the redemption of their circulating notes, and to assure the prompt payment of United States deposits with them, is another source of the increase.of the labor of the Office. So, too, the substitution of the new 5
per cent, for the old 6 per cent, stocks.

One hundred and eighty-four national banks have failed, or gone
into voluntary liquidation, or deposited United States notes and have
taken up a part of their stocks of the United States. The circulating
notes of these banks are required by law to be redeemed at the Treasury, and add thus much to the other redemptions of the Office.
All amouuts of interest due on. United States stocks that remain unclaimed for ninety days at the AT^arious offices where they are made payable are returned to this Office and are then payable here. These have
increased, and are constantly increasing in number.
The interest on the new 5 per cent, stocks is not only payable quarterly, instead of semi-anifually, as formerly, and on other Government
stocks, but on that part that is registered is payable by draft issued at
this Office to each individual holder of such stocks. These drafts are
Iiayable in gold by any assistant treasurer or designated depositary, and,
when properly indorsed and paid, are returned here for settlement.
This, with the fact that the number of coupons is by this change necessarily doubled, and therefore requires twice the force to examine and
arrange them and to account for them, has required another increase in
the force of the Office.
The kinds of paper money issued by the United States, including
fractional currency, have been largely increased, and continue to be
increased as dangerous counterfeits are discovered. As all the various
kinds must be assorted by series as well as by denominations, the work
of redemption and destruction is necessarily increased to just the extent
that the kinds are increased.
For years there were but sixteen kinds. The number has increased,
until now there are forty-six different kinds that require to be assorted
seiiarately, thus increasing this kind of w^ork nearly threefold.
But these new duties are not the only ones that add largely to the labors
of this Office and a consequent necessity for a greater number of employ<^s to perform the business duties required. But enough has been
said. I will mention only one other cause of increase of force. Since the
large defalcations by disbursing officers, an entirely new system of
checks between all the Departments ofthe Government and this Office
has beeu introduced. Under this new system reports of the balances
hehl by every disbursing officer of the Government are made weekly, or
oftener, to chiefs of the Departments or Bureaus to which they respectively belong. From all of these officers they are immediately transmitted to this Office. Here they are carefully examined and compared
with the books ofthe Office, and with the weekly and monthly reports
made to this Office by all the assistant treasurers, designated depositaries,
and national banks designated as depositaries.
The amounts standing to the credit of a disbursing officer are stated
on his report, and aiiy discrepancy that maj^ exist between the report
of the disbursing officer and returns from the office where he keeps
his accounts is noted and certified, and the report is then immediately
returned to the Department or Bureau to which the disbursing officer
belongs. This has compelled not only the appointment of quite a number of additional clerks to make the proper examinations and reports,
but has necessitated the inauguration of a new and more elaborate
system of book-keeiiing, which also requires the work of additional
352
REPORT ON TIIE FINANCES.
clerks. Since the inauguration of this new system no defalcations have
taken place, and it is believed that the guards against them are now so
perfect as to be a bar to them in the future. The very large extra labor
and, to some extent, consequent expense in this case, as in most of the
others named, are, therefore, well bestowed.
PAY OF EMPLOYES. ,
Without any change of opinion, as expressed in reports of former years
in regard to the inadequacy of the salaries now paid to departmental em
ployes of the Government, I have, after mature thought and reflection,
and from some little experience in the nationabl-bank-note redemption
agency, come to the conclusion that if Congress would appropriate to
each Department and its Bureaus a round sum, not exceeding that now
appropriated, to be expended, in the discretion and under the direction
of the heads of the several Departments, in the payment of the clerks
and other employes of the Departments and the Bureaus thereof, in
sums of any amount, say, for clerks from one to two thousand dollars,
and for grades higher or lower tlian clerks, in proportion, with the right to
adjust the payments from time to time, according to the work performed
by each, very much more and a great deal better service'^ would be had by
the Government than under the present system, with the grade, classification, and rate of compensation, fixed by the iron rule of compulsory
law.
In this connection I desire to say that, had the reduction of the
force of this Office, as contemplated by the bill introduced in the
House of Eepresentatives, at its last session, for that purpose, been
passed into a law, it would have been impossible to do the work necessary for the proiDcr transaction of the public business. Even with
the amendments made to it in the Senate, and as compromised in
the committee of conference, the appropriation would not have sufficed.
With the $20,000 additional appropriation made afterward, there was
barely money enough to pay for the Vork done, and it was only effected
by overw^ork and by denying the usuarthirty days' summer vacation to
many of the emi^loycSs. Little, however, was gained by these expedients, as the unusual loss of time by reason of sickness proved.
The reduction made by act of Congress at its last sessioii ofthe number of females acting as sweepers and dusters from thirteen to seven in
number, and the decrease of the pay of the remaining ones from
thirty-six to twenty dollarsper month, greatly inconvenienced the Office,
brought great distress upon the poor widows who were either deprived of
their places or compelled to w^ork.for pay inadequate to their services,
and for their and their families'support. When it is recollected that
these persons are mostly widows, with families of helpless children, who have the alternative often offered between seeing the suffering of their
children for the want of bread and taking the money that is exposed to
avert it, the impolicy, if not wickedness, of placing such a temptation
-in their way will be realized and corrected. I know that the number
employed in former years, being one to thirty employes, was none too
many to. keep the rooms in decent order and cleanliness, and think no
one believes that $36 a month for services rendered early and late, under
such circumstances, is too miich pay. It is, therefore, hoped that, un- ,
less a round sum sufficient for the safe conduct of this Office is appropriated, the old roll, in its entirety, will be restored, with such additions
hereto as the increase of the work of the Office has made necessary.

UNAUTHORIZED PAI^ER MONEY.
Constant complaints have been and are being made that the laws
made to restrain the issuing and circulation of notes other than those
authorized by acts of the Congress of fhe United States, are evaded in
la:rge sections of the country, and in many localities they are utterly
disregarded. The latter is'particularly true as of the South, and especially so in the States of Georgia and Alabama. Most of these violations of law are by municipalities and by manufacturing companies.
I can speak of this evil from personal experience and observation. In
localities at the South almost the entire circulation consists of such local
issues that are put upon everybody in change, and unless used in the
place of issue are w^orthless to the holder. This is particularly true of ^
the fractional currenc}^ For this there has never been the poor excuse
that there was "'not currency enough," as the amount authorized by
law has never been issued from the Treasury, beiug restricted aud reduced by the issue and circulation, in violation of law, of this illegitimate and almost worthless currency. Now that banking under the
national system is measurably free, that excuse wilknot hold as to the
issues of notes of $1 and upward.
By the act of March 26, 1867, it is enacted, "That every national
banking association, State bank or banker, or association, shallpay a*
tax of 10 per centum on the ainount of notes of any town, city, or municipal corporation paid out by them." This enactment does not reach the
root of the evil. The law should be so amended and changed as to compel the payment of the tax by the municipalities, companies, or individuals who make the original issue of such unauthorized circulatingnotes. Bankers and business men at the Sonth assured me that even
such a tax w^ould not prevent the issue of this kind of currency, audi
that the only effectual way to abolish the nuisance would be to declare
the issuing of any kind of obligation, with a view to its circulation as
money, a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, by
any court having cognizance thereof.
DELINQUENCIES IN THE PAYMENT OF DUTY BY NATIONAL BANKS.,
Section 41 of the " act to provide a national currency," approved June^
3, 1864, makes it " the duty ofeach association, within ten clays from the^
first days of January and July of each 3^ear, to make a return under
the oath of the president or cashier to the Treasurer of the United'
States, in such form as he m^j presciibe, of the average amount of its
notes in circulation, and of the average amount of its deposits, and of
the average amount of its capital stock beyond the amount invested in.
United States bonds, for the six months next preceding said first days
of Jauuary and July as aforesaid, and in default of such return, and
for.each default thereof, each defaulting association shall forfeit and
pay to the United States the sum of two hundred dollars."
The law then goes on and provides an effective mode for collecting
the penalty that may be incurred by any bank for any default in .making the return at the time, and in the manner as thereinbefore specified.
The same section provides that "in lieu of all existing taxes, every
association shall pay to the Treasurer of the United States, in the
months of January and July, a duty of one-half of one per centuua each
23 F
354
^ ,
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
half year npon the average amount of its notes in circulation, and a
duty of one-quarter of one per centum each half year upon the average
amount of its deposits, and a duty of one-quarter of one per cientum
each half year as aforesaid on the average amount of its capital stock,
beyond the amount invested in United States stocks, and in case of default in the payment thereof by any association, the duties aforesaid
may be collected in the manner provided for the collection of United
States duties of other corporations, or the Treasurer may reserve the
amount of said duties out of the iuterest, as it may become due on the
bonds deposited with him by such defaulting association."
I t will be seen by inspection of the above quoted extracts, from the
national-currency act, that while there is-a penalty of $200 for any default in making proper returns within ten days after each first day of
January and July, there is no penalty whatever for making default in the
payment of the duty to this office, within the months nkmed, as it is
made the duty, by law, for each bank to do.
Quite a number of the banks take advantage of this defect in the
law. "They make their returns regularly within the ten days as prescribed by law, and thus avoid the penalty of $200. Having thus complied with the comparatively immaterial part of the law, for the noncompliance with which there is a penalty attached, they then entirely
neglect the material part, by refusing to pay the duty within the mouthy
and for which neglect there is no penalty.
As most of the interest of the stocks, held by the Treasurer in trust
for the natioual banks, is payable semi-annually, in January and July,
there is no way provided by which the duty, in such cases, can be collected compulsively within ^ve months, when the next interest on their
stocks is payable.
The use of large sums of money, for a long time due to the United
States, is lost to the Treasury.
In cases of single banks, the loss in interest for a single term of six
months amounts to hundreds of dollars. The aggregate aniount thiis
lost to the people is very large.
This not only works a great injury to the public revenue, but does
injustice to the majority of the national banks, that pay their duty regularly with commendable promptitude.
To obviate this evil, and to force a ready compliance with the terras
ofthe law, the act should be so amended as to attach a penalty for the
non-payment, within the time prescribed by law, of the duty due from
any national bank, of an additional penal sum, at the rate of one per
centum per month ujion the amount due aud unpaid, due from and by
such defaulting bank, until the whole amount of such duty, with the
accrued penalt^^ shall have been paid by such defaulting bank. And
if not paid before, the whole amount, including the penalty, may be retained from the next interest due on its stocks held for it in trust for
the redemption of its circulating-notes, by the Treasurer of the United
States.
UNSIGNED NATIONAL-BANK NOTES.
The Comptroller of the Currency, in his annual report for the year
1867, stated that " i n the sumraer of 1864 it was ascertained that packages of notes forwarded to certain western banks were each found to
be short of the required araount by one impression, (a sheet containing
four notes.) This happened at intervals for several months. Then, for
nearly a year, no losses occurred. But in the fall of 1865 impressions

began to be missed from the packages of notes in the counting-room of
the offic^e; and in December a package containing $4,500 in fifty and
one hundred dollar notes, of the National City Bank of Lynn, Mass.,
was missed. From this time there was a cessation in the thefts, until
the 1st of May, when a package containing $12,000 in fifties and hundreds, of the First National Bank of Jersey City, N. J., was stolen."
The aggregate of the several amounts thus taken from the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency was $17,560.
The Comptroller now states it as his opinion that very few of the
notes of the First National Bank of Jersey City, amounting to more
than two-thirds in amount of all the unsigned notes stolen, are now in
existence. This belief is founded on the fact that the theft was discovered at once and an arrest made almost immediately.
The theory is that the thief, in order to destroy the proof that might
be brought against him, destroyed nearly all of these notes, and some
of those of the National City Bank of Lynn, that he had previously
stolen. This theory is confirmed and strengthened by the fact that but
few of the notes of either of these two banks have made their appearance at the agency here for redemption, while of the notes of the thirtynine banks frora which but a single sheet each was stolen, their appearance occurs disagreeably often, to the disgust of the poor counters w^ho
are responsible in dollars if they pass thera without discoveriug their
character. At a more recent time, in Deceinber, 1868, unsigned notes
of the Third National Bank of the city of New York, amounting to
$750, mysteriously disappeared while in transitu from, one room to another in*^the Office of the Coraptroller of the Currency. Although these
notes were never in the custody of that bauk, nor of any of its officers
or agents, yet it is understood that it redeems them on presentation at
its counter, thus setting an example worthy of imitation by other banks,
and by the Government as well.
In the opinion of the Comptroller of the Currency, the whole araount
of the notes that were taken from the Department that are now in existence does not exceed $5,000. As all of thera were entirely finished,
both face and back, having the signatures of the Eegister and the
Treasurer of the United States, and bearing the seal of the Treasury
Department on their face—being in fact genuine and perfect in ail
their parts, save .the signatures of the officers of the banks; and as
they were put into circulation through the agency of an empl(3y6 of the
Governraent, and as Vhey are now in the hands of innocent parties w^ho
received them in good faith for their full face-value, it is most respectfully recomraended that Congress be asked to make an appropriation of,
say, $5,000, wherewith to redeem these stolen notes, so that they may
be canceled and destroyed when presented at the Treasury for redemption ; and that the Comptroller of the Currency be authorized to i'ssue
new notes instead thereof to the various banks which would be entitled
to receive them.
^
^
^
It is claimed by the Osage Natiohal Bank of Osage, Iowa, that $9,000
of the unsigned notes of that institution were taken from its custody,
and that it is therefore released from liability to redeem the same.
Should this plea be allowed, any bank so disposed might put its own
unsigned notes into circulation for a valuable consideration, and then
repudiate its liability to redeem them.
It is well recollected that an early effort was made on the part of the
national banks to get the departmental consent to have the names of the
bank-officers printed upon their notes, the same as on the United States
notes, and that the then Secretary, Governor Chase, declined to grant
356
, REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
their seemingly reasonable request. Had he given his consent, no question could now arise as to the liability of this bank tONredeem these its
notes that through its own negligence passed into the circulation of
the country, and are now held by parties who. hold them for valuable
considerations.
Not one person in a thousand who handles a national-bank note looks
at the signature, and if the thousandth one should, a thousand to one
he would not be able to tell whether the signature was genuine or not.
Whenever unfinished United States notes have been presented at the
Treasury they have been redeemed. Eestitution has always been made
either by the bank-note companies or by the employes of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing in the Treasury Departraent, as ftie one or
the other may have been in fault for their fraudulent issue. The same
rule is followed by the bank-note companies when unfinished bank-notes
are unaccounted for and find their way into circulation.
No good reason can be urged why the banks themselves should not
be held equally responsible when through their own fault their unsigned
notes get into circulation. That they eventually cannot avoid this resiionsibility is evidenced by the facts that the Government holds the
bank's receipt for the notes, and that the United States bonds pledged
for their redemption, in custody of the Treasurer, can never be surrendered until the bank shall return the notes for the redeinption of which
they are held, or by the deposit of an equal amount of United States
notes. It is only a question whether the liability on the part of the
bank to redeem these notes shall attach at once or at some future time.
[Jnder these circumstances i t i s believed that public policy, justice to
the holders of these notes, and the true interest of the tjanks themselves, require the passage of a law authorizing the Treasurer of the
United States to redeem the unsigned notes that have been or thatma^^
hereafter be delivered to and receipted fbr by a bank in the same manner and under the same rules and regulations as other national-bank
notes are now by law redeemed.
LOANS TO BE KEPT SEPARATE FROM OTHER ACCOUNTS.
o
The statements of the receipts and expenditures ofthe Government's
revenues are somewhat obscure and unintelligible to the uninitiated.
This is caused by the keeping the amounts of the exchange of currency
and of stocks, and of the ordinary receipts from customs, internal taxes,
and other sources of actual revenue, and the expenditures of the same,
in the same accounts. At all times, the redemption and retiring of old
and worn currency of all kinds goes into this account as an expenditure,
and the issuing of UCAV currency in its stead is treated as a receipt of
funds into the Treasury. The same kinds of debits and credits are made
at times when, as is now the case, large amounts of stock, bearing a high
rate of iuterest, are being paid off' by the issue of stocks bearing a
lower rate in exchange therefor. These, and other items, largely
swell the apparent amount of receipts and expenditures, wdien, in truth,
these transactions neither add to nor diminish either the real recei jits
or expenditures of the Treasury. They simply represent the transfers
of equal amounts of one kind.of currency or security on the one side, for
another kind on the other side of the book-accounts, and the statements
that are made from the same.
To obviate this obscurity of the accounts and statements, so that the
actual receipts and expenditures of the real revenues may be clearly
stated, I would most respectfully suggest that the accounts of curreucy

issued and redeemed, and in regard to all loans negotiated or redeemed,
may be kejit separately. In order that this may effectually be done, it
will be necessary to make separate and distinct ^''pay tm,rrants^^-cind
" covering warrants ^ for all transactions in any way relatiug to receipts
^
and disbursements on account of the currency and of loans.
UNAVAILABLE BALANCES.
There remain standing on the books of this Office open accounts of
various amounts against public officers and depositary banks, on which
no receipts have been had for several years, and on which it is not
probable that anything will be realized, except through suits at law.
These accounts are necessarily carried forward from time to time, from
book to book, thus embarrassing the business, and deceptively, swelling
the statements of the balance of money in the Treasury.
It is very desirable that these accounts should be transferred to the
books of the Eegister ofthe Treasury, as was formerly done; and that,
\vhen advisable, suits be brought for the several amounts due the Government. To this end, it is respectfully recommended that Congress be
asked, at the coming session, to pass a law authorizing the transfer of
all unavailable balances that n6w stand, or that may hereafter so stand,
for three years or more on the books of the Treasurer, to the books of
the Eegister of the Treasury.
NATIONAL-BANK-NOTE REDEMPTION AGENCY.
Section 3 of the act entitled "An act fixing the amount of United
States notes, providing for a redistribution of the national-bank currency,
and for other purposes," passed Juue 20, 1874, provides : " That every
association organized, or to be organized, under the provisions of the
said act, and of the several acts amendatory thereof, shall at all times
keep and have on deposit in the Treasury of the United States, in lawful mQuey of the United States, a sura equal to 5 per centum of its circulation, to be held and used for the redemption of such circulation;
which sum shall be counted as a part of its lawful reserve, as provided
in section 2 of this act; and W'hen the circulating-notes of any such associations, assorted or unassorted, shall be presented for redemption, in
suras of $1,000, or any multiple thereof, to the Treasurer of the United
States, the same shallbe redeeraed in, United States notes. All notes
so redeemed shall be charged by the Treasurer of the United States to '
the respective associations issuing the same, and he shall notify them
severally,'on the first day of each month, or oftener, at his discretion,
of the amount of such redemptions; and whenever such redemptions
for any association shall amount to the sum of $500, such association so
notified shall forthwith deposit with the Treasurer of the United States
a sum in United States notes equal to the amount of its circulatingnotes so redeemed. And all notes of national banks worn, defaced, mutilated, or otherwise unfit for circulation-shall, when received by any
assistant treasurer, or at any designated depository of the United
States, be forwarded to the Treasurer of the United States for redemp-.
tion as provided herein. And when such rederaptions have been so reimbursed, the circulating-notes so redeemed shall be forwarded to the
respective associations by which they were issued; but if any of such
notes are w^orn, mutilated, defaced, or rendered otherwise unfit for.use,
they shall beforwarded to the Comptroller of the Currency and destroyed
and replaced as now provided by law : Frovided^ That each of said asso°

ciations shall re-imburse to the Treasury the charges for transportation^
and the costs for assorting such notes; and the associations hereafter
organized shall also severally re-imburse to the Treasury the cost of engraving such plates as shall be ordered by each association respectively;
and the amount assessed upon each association shall be in proportion to
the circulation redeemed, and be charged to the fund on deposit with the
Treasurer: And provided further, l^h^it so much of section 32 of said
national-bank act requiring or permitting the redemption of its circulating-notes elsewhere than at its own counter, except as provided for
in this section, is hereby repealed."
This act went into eff'ect imraediately on its passage, and individualSj
companies, and even national banks took instant advantage of that
fact.
National-bank notes in all kinds of condition, from all parts of the
United States, at once began to pour into the Treasury by millions.
There was no time whatever given to make preparation to carry the
provisions of ih^ law into eff'ect.
This office, which for a longtime had felt the want of room for the
regular employes, who were overworked on the ordinary work of the
Treasury, was called upon on the instant to take the responsibilities
and to do the immense additional labor thus thrown upon it. .
Without a single person to do the work, without an article of necessary furniture, without a single room wherein to place it, even if it could
be at once procured, without any safeguard against robberies, and
without a dollar wherewith to redeem the notes that came in for redemption, the situation and outlook was anything but pleasant or encouraging.
My condition was that of the man with a large nuraber of hungry boarders without anything to cook or anything to cook it in. To make the
matter worse, the question of the status of this new agency in the
Treasury Department arose. It was argued that if it belonged to the
Departraent, then the appointment of the clerks and other employes of
the agency belonged to the Secretarj^, and that the intervention o f t h e
civil service board would be required before such appointments could
be made, thus causing almost fatal delay. If, on the other hand, the
agency did not belong to the Department, and the employes were not
subject to its rules and regulations in regarvd to preliminary examination and appointment by the Secretary, then it had no right in the
Treasury building, and must seek quarters elsewhere. But for the
•great liberality and kindness of the Secretary of the Treasury, the desirable objects of the law, in regard to the redemption of the nationalbank notes, would have failed entirely.
The Secretary, after examining the law, decided that he had nothing
to do wiih the appointment of clerks and others to conduct the affairs
of the agency ; that he could see no other w^ay, under the.law, than for
the Treasurer to hire the employ6s as best he could. He at the same
time promised his aid and support. In furtherance of this promise he
kindly consented to inconvenience his own and other offices in the
Departraent to make partial room for the agency. But all that could
be spared was insufficient for the correct transaction of the business.
This was. the situation of things, and thus the work was begun.
The 5 per Centura on the banks' circulation was slow in coming in; in
trutli, after four months' notice, it is not all in yet.
In a very short time more than $20,000,000 of the notes of the national
banks that had been redeemed, and that could not be. disposed of,
lumbered the vaults of the Treasury that were needed for its own use.
As a general rule, the banks behaved well, and did all in their power to
I
TREASURER.
359
facilitate the redemptions. Quite a nuraber, mostly in the principal
cities, deposited a second 5 per centum before any of their notes had
been assorted. But other banks sent notes here for redemption before
they had even made their own deposits wherewith to make redemptions.
Not having any of the appliances necessary to assort these notes, so
that calls could be made on the banks to make good their redemptionfund, it was found that Avhile the agency held national-bank notes answering as security for the United States notes remitted for their redemiition, the Treasury had been drawn upon for more than the 5 per
centum deposit. |
Under these circumstances the receipt of national-bank notes was discontinued until the fund could be sufficiently replenished to again go
\)n with rederaptions.
That time has,now arrived, and although the agency is still without
sufficient help, roora, or furniture, yet it is confidently believed that if
the banks respond promptly when calls are made upon them ih the future to make good their redemption-fund, in accordance with thelaw, no
further delays w[ill occur, and that all remittances hereafter made of
national-bank notes for redemption will be j)romptly remitted for to the
sender in lawfulimoney.
Notices will in| due time be sent to the several banks advising them of
the amounts charged to their redemption-fund to re-imburse the Treasury
for the. charges for transportation, and the cost for assorting their notes
that have been redeemed, in compliance with the law", which provides
that these charges and costs shall be in proportion to the circulation
redeemed. As i:he law does not state whether these charges and costs
shall be in propbrtion to the amount in dollars, or the nuraber of notes
redeemed, it has been decided, after consultation with the Secretary of
the Treasury and others learned in the law, that inasmuch as the charges
for transportation are paid on the amount of money transported, and
that it costs as I much to assort one-dollar notes as it does notes of a
thousand dollar^, therefore the proportion for transportation will be
with reference to the amount, and for other expenditures in proportion
to the number of notes redeemed.
The first re-inibursement for cost of assorting will necessarily be much
larger than any! other for a like time can be hereafter. This is due to
the fact that the necessary books, blanks, and other stationery, and a
large amount of necessary furniture, specially adapted to and procured
for the w^ork, ha;'ve been received and paid for. These contingent,
expenses will be' light in comparison in the future.
There are now employed in the agency one hundred and thirty-five
persons, with sailaries ranging from $3,500 for the superintendent, down
to $432 for the female laborers.
l
A large majority of the assorters receive pay at the rate of $900, the
average to each| person being a trifle over $1,000 per annum.
In order to dp the necessary work, thus far all of the employes have
been overworked each day, and many of thera have been obliged to
work until late|at night, and on Sundays. This course answers for a
short time, but if loug continued without any respite, as has been and
is now the case,i will after a tirae yield less and less valuable work than
when labor is required only in the regular office-hours.
Although the jsystem established by law for the rederaption of nationalbank notes is better than any other heretofore had, yet, to its perfect
working, additional legislation will be required.
First of all, the status of the Eedemption-Agency, in the Treasury
Department, should be clearly defined. The responsibilities and duties,
360
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
under the present law, seem to devolve entirely upon the Treasurer of
the United States. This is an anomaly. While the Treasurer does not
seek to avoid any responsibility^ that Congress may by law fix upon hira,
yet he deems it his duty to say, that although his relations with the present Secretary are such a.s to preclude the probability that any disagreement would ever occur, yet the tirae will come when one or the other, or
both these officers will be changed, and ugly complications may then arise.
To avoid any misunderstanding that may arise under other circumstauces
in the future, it is desirable that the law should be so amended as to
make the Eedemption-Agency a division in the office of the Treasurer,
subject to the control of the Secretary of the Treasury as a part of the
Treasury Department.
There should be a stringent provision in the law to compel the banks
to make and to keep good their 5 per centum redemption-deposit. '
It was, no doubt, intended by Congress that all the provisions of the
national-bank law, in regard to redemption-agencies, as was therein
provided, should be continued. Under that law, if a bank failed to redeem its notes in lawful raoney of the United States, at its place of
business, or at it^s place of redemption, the holder could cause the same
to be protested; and thereupon the Comptroller of the Currency, with
the concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury, was required to appoint a special agent, with a view to closing the bank, placing it in
the hands of a receiver, and forfeiting its bonds held by the Treasurer
to the United States, As all the agencies and places of redemptiou, other than at the counters of the banks, heretofore existing were abolished by the law that
created the Treasury of the United States the general redemption-agency
for all the banks, it was probably intended that all the iiains and penalties that existed for the non-redemption of the circulating-notes of a
bank at its former redemption-agency, under the old law should attach to
it for a like neglect at the new agency under the new law. But this does
not clearly appear to be the case. If it is so, it is only so by implication. It is, therefore, recommended that all the provisions of the old
law, in regard to the refusal of a bank to redeem its circulating-notes at
its then agency, be re-enacted specifically, so as to piake all its provisions
apply, when its notes shall be protested for want of funds wherewith to
redeem the same, at the Treasury of the United States.
It is also recommended that the law be further amended so as to permit any national bank to deposit with the Treasurer of the United
States, tb its credit in the redemption-fund, any amount in excess of the
5 per centum now required by law, and that the same shall be counted
and considered as a part of the reserve-fund now required by l a ^ to be
kept by any such bank.
It is further recommended that the law be so araended as to provide
that whenever the redemption agency holds notes of national banks fit
for circulation, and the Treasury holds other such notes that are unfit,
that they may be exchanged by the Treasurer, the one for the other, so
that the kind fit for circulation raay be paid out at the Treasury, and
the kind that is unfit destroyed and replaced by new notes. This would
sav^e double transportation and the .expense thereon on the amount so
exchanged, and time as well.
Whenever all the notes of the national banks shall have the charternumbers printed on their faces, as the law now provides they shall be
on all future, issues, the work of assorting thera will be much easier, and,
consequently, cheaper than now. It is therefore recoramended that the
law be so amended as to require that all national-bank notes that do not
TREASURER.
361
bear the charter-number on their faces shall, when redeemed, be treated
as notes unfit for icirculation, and destroyed.
After all national-bank notes shall bear their charter-numbers on
their faces, on diagonally opposite corners, they may be destroyed as
are now the note.4 ofthe United States^ Avhich method is much simpler,
if not safer, than the one necessarily adopted for-the verification and
destruction of the national-bank notes, which are now destroyed in the
safest way that their present forrn will permit.
There are now; two thousand two hundred national banks, including'
such as have failed or gone into voluntary liquidation. When the notes
of these banks r^ach this. Office they are immedia.tely counted, closely
examined, and a|ssorted by denominations only, without regard to the
banks that issued them. They then pass to another room to other parties, where they are assorted into cases, having as many comxiartments,
into forty-four alphabetical groups. They now pass to the last assorters, W'here they dre assorted by individual banks into cases containing
fifty compartments each, being the number of diff'erent banks in each
group. They are now made up by banks into packages of $100 each or
its multiple. They then pass to another room, where they are again
critically examined, canceled by having the names of the officers cut
but, put up ahd Isealed, each bank by itself, for delivery to the Comptroller of the Currency.
Notes deemed ifit for circulation are withheld.by thefirst assorters,
and then go throiugh the same process except the cancellation, and are
sealed for return to the banks to which they belong.
As all the notes that are received for redemption are counted on their
receipt and on their delivery to and receipt frora each of the divisions
above named, it follows that they are inspected and counted at least eighj:
times before they leave this Office, thus making it next to impossible
that either stolen notes, counterfeits, or notes of the wrong bank should
pass through. i
The notes so sealed and canceled then go to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, where they are again examined and counted three
several times; fiijst, by clerks of that Office; nex:t, by those of the Secretary of the Treasury; and finally, by the regularly-appointed agent of
each bank.
;
The notes are now ready for delivery to the destruction committee,
which consists bf one person appointed by each of the Offices ofthe
Secretary of thei Treasury, the Coraptroller of the Currency, and the
Treasurer of the| United States. This committee and the agent of the
bank then com[)are and check off* the packages from the schedules.
This done, the committee and the agent then witness and certify to the
destruction of the canceled notes. On this certificate of the committee
aud the agent of the bank the Comxitroller of the Currenc3^ issues new
notes to the banks, at their request.
Some bank officers affect to believe that they need not remit for
redemp tion s,un till they receive new notes in exchange for those redeemed;
but this is not in accordance with the law, and if it was, the redemptions could not possibly be made on a 5 x)er centum deposit; and,
besides, if allowed, there would be a double issue of notes for the
ainount beyond the securities dexiosited. Infact, it would be a credit
of the amount from the Government to the banks. On inspection of
the law, as hereiinbefore quoted, it will be found that "such associations
so notified ^hM forthtvith deposit;" and afterward, " when such redemptions shall have teen so re-imhursed,^^ the notes unfit for use shall be forwarded to the Comptroller of the Currency, and destroyed and replaced.
362
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
I t will be seen that the law requires the re-imburseraent preliminary to
the delivery of the old notes to the Comptroller. But on account of the
clamor on the part of some of the banks, and to facilitate speedy returns
of new for old currency redeemed to the banks, this Office has strained
a point, by sending the old notes to the Comptroller, so that the;^ may
be at once counted and verified, preparatory to their destruction, on a
Xiledge frora that officer that he would hold the notes until notified by
this Office that the Treasury had been re-imbursed therefor, as by law
required. This is all that can, and is perhaps more than ought to, be
done under the law as it stands, and with this course such banks as
find fault that their receipts of new notes are not more quickly made
will have to be satisfied. Even with banks that are very xirompt in their
observance of the law in this regard—and it is a pleasure to say that a
hxrge majority are so—it averages some eight days before money can be
realized on a call for re-imbursement. The banks that were captious and
dilatory were one of the great causes of the embarrassment that the
redemption agency has been subjected to. .
To prevent trouble from this cause in the future, it is recoramended
that the law be further amended so as to direct the Coinxitroller of the
Currency, with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Treasury, on
coraplaint of the Treasurer of the United States that a national bank
has neglected to keep its 5 per Centura redemption-fund good, after
being notified to do so, to appoint a special agent to examine into the
aff'airs of such defaulting bank, and on the report of said agent, if the
circumstances warrant it, appoint a receiver in the same manner as is
now provided in case of a national bank refusing on deraand to redeem
its circulating-notes.
'
With these amendments, and perhaps an increase of the amount to be
kept in the Treasury for the rederaption-fund to 7 per centum on the
circulation of the banks, the necessity or non-necessity for which will be
known in time for Congress to act upon it, if necessary, it is believed
the law will enable the redemxition-agency to work smoothly and perform all the functions required or expected of it by Congress, the bankSj
and the people.
All of which is most respectfully submitted by your humble servant,
F. E. SPINNEE, •
Treasurer of the United States^

REPORT OF THE REGISTER OF THE TREASURY.
REPORT
OF THE
REGISTER OF THE TREASURY,
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Registers Office., Novemher 10, 1874.
S I R : 111 submitting my report of the business transacted during the
last fiscal year, I am gratified in being able to bear testimony to the
efficiency and probity of my more immediate assistants, and to the general good conduct of all'employes of this Bureau.
By reference to my reports for the last three years, it will appear that
the clerical labor performed in this Office has materially increased.
The business proper of the Bureau is submitted under the head of the
division to which it appertains,- but in an office of record like this there
are numerous calls for information, requiring the examination of the
records even as far back as the commencement of the Government, which
require time and labor, that cannot be shown in this report. The business of preparing transcripts and exemplifications of records and the
preparation of statements of accounts has increased very rapidly.
In the report 1 had the honor to submit last year, I called the attention
of the Secretary to the rapidly-accumulating files of the Department in
the custody of this Bureau, and the want of additional room to properly
arrange and preserve them. The annual increase of these files renders
it absolutel}^ necessary that additional space should be allotted for their
storage, if they are to be preserved. The south corridor of the basement floor of this building is now used for this purpose, where they are
subject to loss aud mutilation.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
TONNAGE DIVISION—W. P . TITCOMB, CHIEF OF DIVISION.
The total tonnage of tbe country exhibits an apparent increase of
104,626 tons—5,635 tons in the registered tonnage, and 98,991 tons in
the enrolled, and licensed tonnage.
The smallness ofthe increase is owing, in part, to the correction and
consequent reduction of the balances reported outstanding, much time
having been devoted to this work, but is mainly due to the fact that a
large amount of canal-boat tonnage was dropped in consequence of exemption by the act of Congress approved April 18,1874.
Aside from these amounts the increase was 237,691 tons, this beiug
the excess of the additions over the losses from all other causes during
the year.
Below are given the totals of the last two years.

89,915 tons; the steam-tonnage, 29,167 tons; the barge-tonnage, 54,260
tons; while the canal-boat tonnage has decreased 68,716 tons.
The proportion of the steam-tonnage employed in the foreign trade is
nearly 16.5 per cent.

The amount of tonnage built during the year exceeds that of the
preceding year by 73,479 tons, and is greater than that of any year

It will be noticed that the amount of tonnage built is greater than
during the preceding year, while tlie number of vessels is smaller.
This is owing to the fact that the sailing-vessels were generally of a
larger class during the last year.
The number of iron vessels built during the year was twenty-three;
tonnage, 33,097 tons—all steam-vessels.
It should be understood that this includes only those vessels which
were documented prior to June 30, 1874.

REPORT OFTHE CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
REPORT
OF THE
CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Bureau of Statistics, N'ovemher 4, 1874.
S I R : The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics has the houor to submit
the folio wiug report of its operatious during the iiscal year euded Juue
30, 1874.
WORK OF THE BUREAU.
The work performed iu the Bureau is of such a peculiar aud varied
character as to reuder a tabular statement impossible. The following
notice of the several divisions and subdivisions of the Bareau, with a
brief statement of the nature of the labor assigned to each, exhibits
but imperfectly the extent, variety, and difficulty of tlie work annually
performed.
. The chief clerk is Mr. E. B. Elliott, who is also a member' of the
Civil-Service Commission.
Number of clerks : Males, 4 ; female, 1.
In this division, the monthly and quarterly statements of commerce,
navigation, immigration, &c., rendered to the Bureau by the collectors
of customs, are carefully and intelligently examined previously to being
recorded by the clerks in the division of compilation. These examinations disclose errors, large in number and grave in character, which, if
not eliminated from the statements before they are compiled and published, would, in many instances, serve but to mislead. In some published trade-statements of foreign countries, and of this country prior
to the establishment of the Bureau, important errors appear. The following entry, copied from a statement of the imports from Canada,
which appears in the Annual Beport of Commerce and Navigation for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1865, will serve as an illustration :
I

Dollars.

One unfamiliar with the prices of breadstuffs at that period would
suppose, from the above figures, that wheat-flour cost in Canada b u t 4 J
cents per cwt, or about 8 ceuts for the 196 pounds contained in a barrel. The critical examination to which every custom-house return is
now subjected by the examining-clerks iu this division renders such an
error impossible.

REPORT ON T H E
FINANCES.
Of the amount and character of the labor involved in the examination of the returns from collectors of customs, the following statement
affords but an inadequate idea:

Acknowledf]^ments of letters written
Acknowledgments of statements written
Calls for statements written
Statements examined

1,702
4, 076

16,140
In addition to the above, a large amount of miscellaneous work is
performed, such as the compilation of tables, preparation of blanks,
books of record, &c.
COMPILATION—THOMAS CLEAR, CHIEF.
Whole number of clerks : 13 males and 2 females.
Included in this division are sections, or subdivisions, in which are
compiled the statistics of home-consumption, of indirect and in-transitu
trade, and of merchandise warehoused aud withdrawn from warehouse.
It is impossible to subrait any exhibit that will give an adequate idea
of the extent of patieut, careful, and accurate labor performed by the
clerks employed in compiling the statistics of our foreign trade and in
preparing statements in response to calls for information.
IJMIMIGRATION AND NAVIGATION.—L. F . WARD, CHIEF.
Number of clerks: 5 males and 1 female.
The statistics of navigation have beeu rendered more complete and
' valuable during thepast year by the distinction made,for the first time,
in their compilation between entrances and clearances with cargoes and
in ballast; and their preparation and publication in this form have necessarily increased the labor devolving upon this division.
Satisfactory progress has been made during the year in the work of
perfecting the returns of immigration, and rendering these important
statistics more complete and accurate in their details as to nationality,,
age, sex, and occupation; in all of which there has been, of late, an
earnest and increasing interest, especially'on the part of those who consider them with reference to their economic and political significance.
NUMBERING OF VESSELS, TONNAGE, E T C . — J . B. PARKER, CHIEF.
Number of clerks: 4 males and 1 female.
The work in this division consists of the assignment of ofiicial numbers and signal letters, filling up and forwarding notices of awards, which
alone requires a large amount of careful research aud labor, as, also, the
keeping of the permanent registers pertaining to these awards 5 the compilation, copying, and proof-reading of the regular '^ Annual List of Merchant Vessels," the various anuual, monthly, weekly, and miscellaneous
statements which are called for by members of Congress and others in
relation to the merchant-marine of the countryj and the careful examination of the annual and quarterly reports, the results of which are embodied in theregular annual reports issued by the Bureau.
During the last fiscal year the vessels numbered and registered in this
division were as follows:

A statement showing the number of vessels and amount of tonnage
belonging to the different customs-districts of the United States on the
30th of June, 1874, geographically classified, is appended to this report,
(marked A,) and attention invited to the note in reference to unrigged
vessels.
LIBRARY.—E. T. P E T E R S , LIBRARIAN.
One female assistant.
The large demand upon the Bureau by members of Congress and
others for statistical information, ou a great variety of subjects, gives
increasing importance to the work of this division, which includes the
' duty of keeping on the watch for all new statistical publications, especially in relation to commerce, industry, aud finance; the classification
and arrangement of the books and papers received, and placing them
at the service of the officers of the Bureau and others entitled to their
use; the indexing and systematic filing of all newspapers aud periodicals received; and a variety of other duties. The important relation of
the library to the ability of the Bureau to respond with promptness to
the numerous and varied calls for information made by public men,
renders it a matter of regret that the redaction of the clerical force,
elsewhere referred to, has frequently compelled the undersigned to devolve upon the librarian and his assistant other duties than those that
especially pertain to the work of the division.
MISCELLANEOUS.
There are other departments of labor which, although not classed with
the larger divisions, are yet of much importance, requiring as they do
careful, patieut, and intelligent industry. These are as follows: Publication, in charge of James'Eyan; property, pay, and miscellaneous, of
J. D. O'Connell; translation, A. W. Angerer; and revision, R. A. McMurray ; the two first-named being assisted by one male and one female
clerk.
The mails are in charge of a female clerk, upon whom the abolition of
the franking-privilege has imposed much additional labor.
CLERICAL FORCE.
'
At the close of the last fiscal year, the number of clerks whose respective duties are above indicated consisted of 32 males and 8 females.
At thepresent time, however, the force consists of only 28 male and 8
female clerks.*
REDUCTION OF THE CLERICAL FORCE.
Section 13 of the act of July 28, 1866, provided for the detail and appointment of such clerks as might be necessary" to fully carry out the
provisions of the act establishing the Bureau, without any limitation as
to their number or classification. Forthe first three months, the number of clerks averaged about 42, increasing to 49 in the year 1867j and
522
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
to 54 in. 1868, in which latter year the monthly pay-roll for the officers,
clerks, and six messengers and laborers averaged $6,502. In March,
1869, a reduction in the clerical force w^as commenced, which continued
during the 3^ear until the number of employes was reduced from an
average of 61 in the first quarter to 52 in the last quarter of that year
and to 49 in January, 1870. From this date, the number employed was
still further reduced; the reduction continuing throughout the53 months
ended June 30, 1874, during which period, although the work of the
Bureau gradually increased, the number of employes averaged but 45J,
or about 8 less than during the previous 40 months, W'hile the monthly
pay-roll showed a reduction from $5,947.88 in the earlier period to
$5J307.19' in the later; a saving of $640.69 per month, or $33,956
during the time in which the Bureau has been under the direction of
the undersigned.
And when, under the act of July 12, 1870, it became necessary to submit to Congress an estimate of the number of clerks and other employes required iu the Bureau, no request was made for an increase of
force to provide for the gradual increase of work incident to the growth
of the country, and to that growing interestin economic questions which
manifests itself in an enlarged demand for the publication of commercial, industrial, and financial statistics, and in a constantly increasing
number of applications for such statistics on the part of legislators,
economists, business-men, and waiters for the press.
The following statemeut shows, in detail, the number of clerks and
other employes, with the average amount of their monthly salaries,
including those of the chief officers of the Bureau, from the establishment of the Bureau to June 30, 1874 :

Monthly decrease under present direction, average
'•^ Detailed from Bureaus of the Treasury.
In view of the fact already presented that the increased work of the
Bureau had been performed during the past four and a half years wdth
a diminished force, and that owing to this iucrease of work it became
necessary to ask for a detail of several additional clerks during the latter months of the past fiscal year, the announcement that the regular
BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
523
force was diminished by Congress to the extent of four clerks, while
clerks detailed from other offices were no longer to be obtained, occasioned deep regret. This, reduction offeree must have been recommended by the House Committee on Appropriations, under a misapprehension of facts, as they certainly had no intention to cripple the
Bureau, yet it is none the less severe in its operation. Any reduction
in the scope of its work, or diminution in the frequency of publication
of important commercial statements, is deemed unadvisable, as such a
curtailing of the work of the Bureau would necessarily impair its usefulness to the public. Indeed, the demands upon it are steadily in the
direction of increased activity, necessitating the cultivation of a more
extended field of inquiry.
The hope is, therefore, confidently entertained that a sinall increase
in the present number of clerks will be authorized by Congress at the"
ensuing session, in order that the iirogress of the Bureau in the direction of increased efficiency may not be retarded.
PUBLICATIONS OF THE BUREAU,
Monthly Beports of Commerce and Navigation.—The monthly reports of
this Bureau have, as heretofore, been regularly published, and 3,000
copies distributed, a few hundred of which are seut to foreign countries.
They have been compiled at the earliest date after the receipt and correction of the returns, and, no doubt, have been printed with as much
dispatch as the arrangements of the Congressional Printing-Office w^ould
permit.
Though not so promptly published as the trade-reports of some European countries, yet, for accuracy of statement, the statistics of commerce
and navigation, as issued by this Bureau, may safely challenge comparison with those issued by any other government.
Annual Beport of Commerce and Navigation.—The volume forthe fiscal
year 1873 was compiled and printed at the usual time. The statements for the fiscalyear 1874 were compiled and sent to the Congressional Printer at an earlier date than ever before; and there is no doubt
that the printed volume will be furnished to members of Congress as
early in the session as they will be prepared to consult its pages.
The demand from foreign countries and from commercial bodies and
statistical associations for copies of this volume, as well as for the other
publications of this Bureau, induces a renewal ofthe earnest recommendation made in last year's report that an increased number be authorized.
Giving, as it does, in detail, our trade with each foreign country, as well
as the trade of each customs-district, this annual posseses great value,
not only to the statesmen, legislators, and commercial men of this country, and to our ministers and consuls abroad, but to foreign governments,
who of late are urgently desirous of an interchange of statistical publications. As the report is not stereotyped, it is desirable that a sufficient
number be printed at once to fully supply the home and-foreign demand,
including the officers o f t h e several customs-districts of the United
States.
List of Merchant- Yessels of the United States.—The sixth annual statement of '' Yessels Eegistered, Enrolled, and Licensed under the laws of
the United States, designating the class, name, and place of registry,"
as well as the official number and signal-letters awarded to each vessel,
was prepared and 2,000 copies published for distribution to the officers
of customs, the masters of vessels engaged in the foreign trade, and
the principal ship-owners, as well as to the commanders of United
524
REPORT ON THE

States war-vessels. The value of this list has been enhanced by the insertion therein of a carefully-prepared ^'code-list,'' giving the signal-letters assigned to all sea-going vessels, arranged in their regular alphabetical order, without regard to the initial letter of the names of the
vessels. Ship-masters can, by reference to it, obtain the name, tonnage,
and home port of any vessel exhibiting her signals at sea. This volume.
also includes a listof the vessels belonging to the revenue marine, giving
the date and place of building, and the number of the officers and men;
also a list of the vessels now belonging to the United States Navy, giving their name, rate, class, guns, tonnage, means of propulsion, and
station of each; to which is appended a complete list of the Navy from
1797 to 1874, with the number of line, stafi", and other o.fficers.
SPECIAL REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF CUSTOMS-TARIFF L E a i S L A T I O N .
One thousand copies of this document, priuted by order of Congress,
have been receiv^ed from the Congressional Printer, and distributed to
officers of the Treasury Department, including custom-house officials,
and to our ministers and consuls abroad. This document was increased
in value by the insertion of so much of the Revised Statutes, approved
June 22, 1874, as related to the customs-tariff, together with a tabular
arrangement of the rates of duty now in force.
SPECIAL REPORT ON IMMIGRATION.
During the past year the distribution of the English edition in the
United Kingdom has been continued, w^hile a cousiderable number of
copies of this report iu the German and in the French language
have beeu forwarded to the continent of Europe for distribution in the
countries where those languages are spoken.
A translatiou of the above report into the Swedish language was completed during the past fiscal year, and transmitted through you to Congress, with a letter dated June 8,1874, from which the following extracts
are made:
The clemcaBd for the translation of the report into the spoken languages of the other
countries of Continental EuTOpe, more particularly into the Scandioaviau, has been of
the most pressing nature, not only from those who desire to emigrate, but from a number of diplomatic and consular officers of the United States, who are impressed .with
the conviction that great benefit would result if each person wishing to emigrate could
read in his own. language the information which the report embodies.
The stream of immigration from Scandinavian countries, which xDreviously was
inconsiderable, has, duriug the i)ast five years, beeu gradually and surely increasing
in volume. During the five years fi'om i859 to 1873, inclusive, the immigrants who
arrived from those countries Avere as follows:

As the climate ofthe more northern portions of our country is peculiarly suited to
those whose birthplace is chiefly north of the Baltic, and as the rich and highly productive soil of our Northwestern States aud Territories will yield^far larger returns
than that of their native pine-clad hills, a greatly-increased immigration from these
countries may be looked for in the future if trustworthy information in regard to the
advantages possessed by various parts of our country be placed within the reach of
those who desire to emigrate.
BUREAU OF STATISTICS.

While it wonld be invidious to single ont from the nationalities of Europe auy people who are of more value to this country than another, yet, as the Scandinavians do
not congregate in our large cities, where the labor-markets are already over supplied,
but usually proceed at once to the sparsely-settled portions of the North and Northwest,
where they cultivate the virgin soil, they constitute a valuable addition to our population.
- In those portions of Europe where the English, French, and German languages are
spoken the report has already been widely distributed ; and it is to be believed that
the efi'ect of this distribution has been to cause a considerable increase of immigration to
this country, especially among the class who are able to bring with them a small capital wherewith to engage in farming or other productive industry on their own account.
In view of this fact, and of the various considerations above presented, it seems not
only proper, but eminently desirable, that the same raeans of information should be
placed within the reach of the thrifty inhabitants of the Scandinavian countries.
I have, therefore, caused said report, embracing '^ Information for imigrants," to be
translated into the Swedish language, and now have the honor to transmit through
you to Congress the result of this labor, asking that five thonsand copies ofthe translation may be printed for gratuitous distribution in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
If the economical value of the immigrant be as great as indicated in the report, viz:
^800, then the increment to the material wealth ofthe country from the Scandinavian
immigration of the last five years amounted to nearly one hundred and thirty million
dollars, ($129,709,600,) a sum which would compensate twenty thousand times for the
expenditure necessary to print and distribute a Swedish edition of five thousand copies
of the report under consideration.
While the value of the work has been- attested by communications from various
partS/of Europe, as well as by notices of the press, the want of a good map of the
United States hasbeen pointed out as a serious defect. It is, therefore, respectfully
suggested that such a map, corrected to as late a date as practicable, be ordered; and
that, in addition to the five thousand copies thereof required for the Swedish edition
of the report, there be printed ten thousand extra copies, to accompany such numbers
o f t h e English, French, and German edil^ions as have not yet been distributed.
The recommendations in the foregoing letter for the publication of the"
report in the Swedish language and of a map of the Uuited States for
the several editions are hereby renewed. And, as the English edition
of the report is nearly exhausted, it is also recommended that there be
printed from the stereotype plates at least three thousand copies for
distribution in Great Britain and other English-speaking countries.
DECLINE IN
IMJVIIGRATTON.
Immigration, which reached its ciilminating-point iu 1873, suffered a
decline in the past fiscal year of 146,464, or from 459,803 to 313,339.
This decrease may, however, be regarded as only temporary; the average for the past two years being 386,571, while that of the past seven'
years is only 360,208; in other word:;^, the immigration for the.last two ;
years has been larger than that of anyother two consecutive years since
the establishment of the Government, with the exception of 1853 and
1854.
Returns for the quarter ended September 30, however, indicate that
the decline still continues, the figures showing a considerable falling-off'
from those in the corresponding period of the preceding year.
This decrease in the arrival of immigrants has been accompanied by
a large increase in the number of persons leaving the country; and it is
well-known that this increase is chiefly made up of those who have
come hither with the intention of remaining.
It is to be regretted that, owing to causes hereinafter mentioned, it
has not been possible to secure full statements of the number of steerage-passengers who have departed from the United States. The data
which have been obtained show little of interest beyond the total number of emigrants, and only approximately those who leave the port of
New York. The departures frotn the whole country during the past
fiscal year were 134,686, as against 119,154 in 1873, and less than 93,000
in each of the years 1872 and 1871, thus indicating that this efflux commenced sometime before the flow of 1873 had ceased.
"526
REPORT
ON
THE
FINANCES.
The diminished rate of increase in our foreign population is undoubtedly due to the recent general prostration of business in this countr.y,
the stagnation of productive industry, and the consequent diminution
of the demand for labor. The extremely low rates of transatlantic passage prevailing during the past year have also contributed to induce a
large number of persons of foreign birth to visit their native land with
the intention of returning so soori as busiuess resumes its wonted activity. Indeed, of 500 steerage-passengers who left l^ew York in a steamship-line over 100 were known to have returned.
The following comparative statements will exhibit the leading facts
connected with immigration for several years past:

TRADE WITH CANABA-
Although the published Statements o f t h e B u r e a u in regard to the
whole foreign trade of the country, and particularly of our exports by
water, are nearly accurate, yet it l^ias hitherto beeu found impracticable,
if not impossible, to obtain full returns of merchandise exported to the
provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The fact, long known and deplored,
is the more to be regretted now, when our commercial relations with the
Dominion of Canada excite much discussion, and will soon, no doubt,
engage the serious attention of the Senate of the United States. The
returns from several custom-houses on the Canadian border are necessarily defective, owing to the want of legislatiou requiring persons
exporting merchandise by land-conveyance to file full manifests of such
merchandise and produce with the collector of the customs district on
the border, across which the articles pass into the foreign country, as
is now required iu the case of all exports to foreign countries in vessels.
The act qf February 10, 1820, provides that—
Before a clearance shall be granted for auy vessel bound to a foreign place, the owur
ers,, shippers, or consignors of the cargo ou board of such vessel, shall deliver to the
collector manifests of the cargo, or the parts thereof shipped by them respectively, and
shall verify the same by oatli or af&rhiatiou ; aud such manifests sliall specify the kinds
and quantities of the articles shipped by them respectively, and the value ot' the total
quantity of each kind of articles; and such oath or affirmation shall .state that such
manifest contains a full, just, and true account of all articles laden on board of such
vessel by the owners, shippers,, or consignors, respectively, and that the values of such
articles are truly stated according to their actual cost, or the values which they truly
bear at the port and time of exportation.
It will be observed that the above stringent clause does not extend to
railway-cars, which in 1820 were unknown, aud, consequently, unspecified in the act above referred to, nor to other land-vehicles, which have
long beeu used in the trausportation of merchandise across the Canadian border.
The defective character of these returns having long been known, the
undersigned took occasion during the past summer to more thoroughly
investigate the cause, with a view to its removal, personally visiting the
528
REPORT ON THE FINANCES,
chief border-ports on both sides of the line, from Quebec to Chicago,
consulting with our collectors and consuls, as well as with the Canadian
authorities. Careful inquiry developed the fact that nearly all the produce and merchandise which are exported to Canada, of which full and
correct returus are not made to this Bureau, cross the border at Saint
Albans., and Island Pond, in the customs-district of Vermont, and at
Suspension Bridge, in the district of Niagara. The customs-ofhcers at
those places do all that is possible, under the present defective legislation, to obtain the kinds, quantities, and values of the articles transported in railway-carriages to ports iu the i3rovinces of Quebec and
Ontario.
After consultation wdth the customs-authorities of Canada in Quebec
and Montreal, and also with consuls of the United States, the undersigned
proceeded to Ottawa, where he made arrangements with the Commissioner
of Customs of the Dominion for an interchange ofthe detailed statements
of imports, into each country from the other, for the past fiscal year, and
for a similar interchange of quarterly statements in future. This interchange will prove advantageous to Canada as well as to this country,
for the reason that Canadian statements of exports to the United States
are far less than our returns of imports show them to be 5 for it is evident
that the imports into each from the other are the more accurate, because
the customs-ofticers of both countries are constantly on the alert to see
that no dutiable merchandise crosses the border without paying its prescribed impost,
Froin the detailed statements by provinces and ports, as well as by
articles and values, prepared by the cpmmissioner of customs of the Dominion, the undersigned has been able to add to the stated value of
articles embraced in the returns of collectors of customs of the districts,
of Yermont and ISliagara the official figures obtained from Canada, which
figures are published in the Statement of Domestic Exports, contained in
the Annual Report of the Bureau, on Commerce and Navigation for the
fiscal year 1874, and also in the Monthly Eeport for August, 1874.
The total value of the articles omitted as above-stated amounts, in
the fiscal year 1874, to $10,200,059*, Canadian or specie values, and to
$11,424,066 in United States currency, computed at the average premium
on gold in that year.
The export of specie in the same period amounts to $3,619,568, as appears by the statements of this Bureau, while the Canadian imports
.show but $2,235,987; the former sum is, however, believed to be correct, the figures having been furnished by the agent of the express
company which conveyed the specie to Montreal, and verified by the
undersigned.
In reciting the foregoing facts, the undersigned takes occasion to state
thatthe fault does not wholly, or even chiefiy, rest with the transportationcompanies, whose principal officers, on the contrary, profess a willingness
to aid the Bureau in the collection of full and accurate data in regard to
our exports to Canada, but is due to the neglect of the shippers or consignors of merchandise to furnish full information as to the kinds, quantities, and values of the articles so shipped to Canada, aud upon, whom,
it is hereby recommended, a penalty for such neglect should be imposed.
^ While omissions of such magnitude-are shown in our exxiorts to Ontario and Quebec,
it is instructive to notice that tbe published statements of t h e Bureau in regard to the
exports to the maritime provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, nearly the whole
of which are transported in vessels, substantially agree with those of the Dominion,
thus contirraing the statement that the omission of full returns is owing to defective
legislation in regard to transportation by land-carriage.
BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
529
The subject is respectfiilly submitted for your consideration, with the
Tecommendation that it be brought to the attention of Congress for such
legislation as may be deemed expedient and necessary; legislation
which, while calculated to remedy the defect above indicated, will not
place unnecessary obstructions to freedom of commercial intercourse.
OTHER DEFECTIVE LEaiSLATION.
Among other defects in existing laws, which render it difficult to obtain full and accurate statistics, may be mentioned those under which it
is sought to collect and publish information pertaining to the following
subjects:
•
I. The coastwise movement of vessels of the United States.
II. The products of the fisheries taken by American vessels and fish'Crmen and brought into the United States.
'
.
HI. The immigration into and emigration from the United States.
I. Coasting trade.—The published statistics of the coastwise navigation include only partial movements of vessels which may come within
the provisions of the act of February 18, 1793, requiring entry or clearance to be made under certain circumstances; as, for iustauce, if the
vessel has foreign goods on board above a certain value and under certain conditions, or enters from or clears for a port in another great coasting district. Since these movements comprise but a small portion of
the trade from port to port in the Uuited States, it will be readily seen
that the statements published by the Bureau embrace but a sinall part
of the coastwise tonnage-movement.
II. Fisheries.—With respect to products of the fisheries, taken by
American vessels and fishermen, collectors are able to furnish official
returns of the catch of those vessels only which, by the act of 1793,
above mentioned, are required to make entry on their return from a fishing-voyage; as, for instance, vessels licensed for carrying on the fisheries returning from a voyage under a license to touch or trade at a foreign place. It is impossible, therefore, to obtain, under the present
laws, accurate data in regard to the products of fish taken in the waters
on our coast, which form the principal part of that important maritime
industry.
The statements of this industry published by the Bureau are mainly
collected in the few customs-districts from which returns are received
by the personal efforts of the collectors, unaided by the requirements of
law. •
III. Immigration and emigration.—The statistics of immigration are
derived from the manifests tiled in the custom-houses of the country by
masters of vessels, in pursuance of section 12, act of March 3, 1855.
Since this provision of law is not construed to extend to cars and other
land vehicles, the same- difficulty is experienced in regard to the immigration into the United States through the northern border-ports from
Canada, and from Europe through Canada, as has already been indicated with respect to exports to Canada in railway-cars.
The importance of such legislation as will enable the Bureau to obtain, with greater accuracy, the details of this influx of persons of foreign birth, will appear, when it is stated that the immigration into the
United States through the district of Huron alone exceeds that of any
port in the Uuited States except New York. By assiduous and earnest
effort on the part of the Bureau, the officers of customs on the northern
border have been induced to give to the subject their personal attention and have succeeded in obtaining, with approximate accuracy, the
number of alien passengers who enter the Uuited States in cars through
their respective districts.
34 F
530
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
•
With regard to emigrants, or passengers departing from the United
States, the only provision of law requiring lists of them to be filed
with collectors is section 4, act of July 4,1864, which has been construed
to extend only to American vessels. Hence, information in relation to
passengers or emigrants departing by cars or foreign vessels can only be
obtained through the personal efibrts of the collectors of the various
ports, unaided bylaw. As the number of emigrants from the United
States has of late largely increased, taking passage, as they do, chiefly
in foreign steamships, the efibrts to obtain, with approximate accuracy,
the number of departures have been attended with great difficulty.
The foregoing defects in legislation are also submitted for the consideration and action of Congress. The importance of being able to obtain
and publish accurate statements on the above subjects induces a hope
that Congress will, at an early day, give them such attention as will
result in providing efiectual remedies for the important defects above
indicated.
DESTINATION OF EXPORTS,
It may not be improper in this connection to refer to the diigculties,
not arising from defective legislation, of obtaining with accuracy the
ultimate destination or foreign market of all domestic produce exported
from the United States.
Although the eleventh section of the act of February 10,1820, before
cited, explicitly requires that " the master and the owners, shippers, and
consignors of the cargo shall state, upon oath or affirmation, to the collector the foreign port or country in which such cargo is truly intended
to he landed,^^ it is found to be impracticable to enforce this law in all
cases. These difficulties, therefore, cannot be said to arise from defective
legislation, but rather from various causes, among which are the exigencies of our growing commerce and the innovations upon the ancient
courses of trade made by ocean steam transportation and the daily
knowledge of the state of distant foreign markets afibrded by the submarine and other telegraphs.
In many cases, the exporter clears his vessel and goods for some convenient port, accessible or in the direct route to several markets. The
vessel is met on her arrival with orders by telegraph, or otherwise, to proceed to the market deemed most advantageous for the sale of her
cargo.
Many vessels are reported from the priucipal ports as cleared for
Queenstown and Gibraltar ^'for orders," andno other destination ofthe
goods being known at the time of the clearance they are necessarily
returned and appear in the printed reports of the Bureau as exports
to Ireland aud to Gibraltar, respectively.
Large aimounts of breadstufi's, cotton, and petroleum thus appear as
exports to countries in which they are never landed.
The following are the totals of domestic exports to Ireland and to
Gibrciltar during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1874, and the principal
articles exported to those places:

It also appears that, during the year ended June 30, 1871, there were
exported from the United States to Belgium, 17,384,603 gallons of refined petroleum, valued at $4,295,037. The published trade statements
of Belgium for the year 1871 (a period six months later) give the imports for consumption into that country from all foreign countries as
13,618,000 kilogrammes of '' oil other than for table-use,^' valued at
14,980,000 francs, or 4,289,000 gallons,* 2,996,000 dollars, (United States
measure and value,) which, from the high price per gallon, would
appear to include a considerable amount of oil other than petroleum.
As the population ot Belgium iu 1872 was but a little over ^.ve millions,
(5,021,336,) the country abounding in coal, which is mined far in excess
of consumption and thus afiording cheap illuminating material, it
would appear that the bulk of the petroleum exported from this country
to Belgium is merely transhipped at Antwerp, and forwarded to the
interior markets of the Continent.
These exports would appear to be largely in excess of the demand of
the markets of the countries specified, especially those to Gibraltar.
The difierence b^etween the declared exports to certain countries and
those reported as received into those countries is more clearly exemplified by the following statement:

The peculiarities pointed out with reference to the destination of our
exports from oceanic ports obtain in a more marked degree with respect to our domestic products which seek the markets of Europe
through the Canadian Provinces on our northern border. To investigate
this subject more fully the undersigned visited Chicago and made particular inquiries, not ouly of the officers of customs and the secretary of
the board of trade, but of the principal shippers, and ascertained that
^ h e grain and fiour as well as a large part of the provisions which the
returns from the custom-house of that port indicate were shipped to
the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec were really xiurchased on Canadian account and shipped in great part to Montreal. The names of
consignees in the last-named city^were obtained with a view of instituting further inquiries in regard to the ultimate destination of the
breadstuffs. In the farther prosecution of this iuquiry the fact has
been established that nearly the whole of the Indian corn, or maize, and
flour and the greater part of the grain shipped from the upper lakeports, which are returned to and published by this Bureau as exports
to the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, find a market in Europe, while
* The gallon of petroleum is computed at seven pounds.

a part of the grain is first manufactured into flour, in which state it
reaches the same destination.
The following table will illustrate the facts above stated:

Out of 7,418,711 bushels of Indian corn, or maize, exported to the
provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1873, 7,366,727 bushels were exported from the ports of Chicago, Detroit, Toledo and Port Huron, to the provinces named. It also
appears from the Canadian statistical reports that during this period
there were exported from, the Dominion of Canada to foreign countries
6,242,976 bushels of Indian corn, not the produce of the Dominion ; hence
it is fair to presume that it was the produce of the United States. As
only 226 bushels of Indian corn were imported into the United States
from the Dominion during the year, it would appear that but little if
any of the large amount exported by the route indicated, was re-imported into the country or went into consumption in Canada, but that
it was transported to transatlantic markets. That this corn was shipped
to foreign markets via the Saint Lawrence Eiver is indicated by the
fact that if it were transported from Canada across our territory and
shipped to foreign countries from the ports of Portland, Boston, or New
York, it would appear in our account of the In-transit Trade, but that
account for the year under consideration fails to show that any Indian
corn was received from Canada in transit for foreign countries.
So far as the published statements of the Bureau show the volume
and value of domestic exports, they are as accurate as the existing
laws under which they are compiled will admit, but for the reasons just
given they do not contain that information which would be desired in
any critical examination, with a view to trace the course of trade or determine the foreign markets in which our domestic products enter into
consumption.
It would be interesting to know with accuracy what foreign countries
absorb the vast volume of our domestic products, and the lack of this
information is much to be regretted.
BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
533
The published statements of commercial statistics lose half their value
if they do not enable the inquirer to trace commodities from their places
of production to the places of their consumption. It is hoped that such
inquiries may be facilitated by inducing foreign countries to keep accurate accounts of the producing countries of the commodities entering
into consumption in their various markets, as is now attempted to be
done by this Bureau with respect to commodities imported from foreign
countries.
STATISTICS OF LABOR,
In the report of the Chief of the Bureau made to your predecessor
last year, the fact was mentioned that he had devoted much time and
money, when in Europe, in 1872, to the investigation of the cost and
condition of labor in those branches and in those countries which compete with similar industries in the United States, but that, owing to the
pressure of ofiicial duties and health impaired thereby, he had made but
little progress in the compilation of a special report thereon.
During the past year, however, the data thus personally collected, supplemented by information which he has more recently obtained, in regard
to the rates of wages and the cost of living in the principal countries of
Europe, have been, in large part, prepared for the press, and will be
completed before the close of the ensuing session of Congress. His
inquiries are now directed to the collection of facts in reference to labor
and the cost of subsistence in the United States and the neighboring
British Provinces, with a view to comparison with similar data already
obtained from the Old World.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

exports from the United States during the fiscal year 1874, as compared with 1873, in which the increase and decrease are, respectively,

Hon. B. H. B R I S T O W ,
Secretary of, the Treasury,
SIR : The following is the report of the operations of the Light-House
Board during the year ending 30th June, 1874 :
INTRODUCTION.
Before entering upon the details of these operations, it is thought advisable to give some general statements as to the organization, character, and history of the establishment, necessary to be kept in mind b^'
Congress, and which may be interesting to the general-public.
Nothing marks more distinctly the stage of civilization to which any
nation has attained thaii the character ofthe aids to safety which it furnishes the mariner in approaching and leaving its shores. I t is not
alone in its economical aspect that a light-house system is to be regarded ]
it is a life-preserving establishment founded on the principles of Christian benevolence, of which none can so well appreciate the importancie as
he who, after having been exposed to the perils of the ocean, it may be
for months, finds himself approaching in the darkness of night a leeshore. But it is not enough to erect towers and establish other signals;
they must be maintained in an efficient state with uninterrupted constancy.
A fiailure of a single light-tower to send forth its expected ray may allure the confiding mariner to an untimely death or disastrous shipwreck.
In view of these facts, our Government early resolved to establish and
39 F
610
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
f
maintain a light-house system which should be commensurate with the
wants of our increasing commerce and the unrivaled resources of the
country.
At the commencement of our GoA^ernment, the principles of lighthouse illumination were in an undeveloped condition, and it Avas not
until the investigations of Fresnel aud Arago, in France, and the labors
of Smeaton and the elder Stephenson, in Great Britain, that they were
brought into a strictly scientific condition.
Wood and coal were at first used as fuel for lights. They were burned
as beacon-fires on headlands, and afterward, as the necessity for increased elevation was felt, they Avere placed on the tops of towers.
Smeaton introduced the use of wax candles in the Eddystone light-house;
and the invention of the Argand lamp in 1789, consisting of a series of
concentric wicks with an air-passage through the middle and between
each wick, furnished the means of a more Jbrilliant light, the effect of
which was.further increased by parabolic reflectors.
In the United States, the first light-houses were illuminated by tallow
candles and solid-AAack lamps suspended by iron chains from the dome
of the lantern.. The Argand burners and reflectors were adopted in
1812, and were used until the organization of the present Light-House
Board, shortly after Avhich they were superseded h j the Fresnel apparatus.
Previous to the present organization of the Board, the light-houses
and other aids to naAdgation of the United States were under the charge
of one of the Auditors of the Treasury Department, and the furnishing
of plans and the constructing of light-houses Avere intrusted to temporary ageuts.
In 1845, a commission was sent to Europe to inquire into the most
improved light-house system ; the chairman of which, Lieutenant (now
Rear-Admiral) Jenkins of the United States Navy, made an exhaustive
report on the subject which was the basis of the improved system afterward introduced.
In 1851, a provisional board was appointed by the Government to investigate the condition of our light-house system, and on the report of
this board the organization uow in use was adopted. In accordance
with this organization, the Avhole coast of the United States is divided
into districts, to each of which is assigned an officer of the Navy and
an officer of Engineers ; the duty of the first being to inspect, at stated
periods, the condition of the lights, buoys, &e., to furnish supplies, and
to give information as to the necessity for repairs ; that of the second,
to make repairs, to furnish information as to new sites and designs for
new structures, to be submitted afterward to the Light-House Board,
which has the direction of all the operations ofthe establishment.
The Light-House Board consists of two officers of the Navy, two engineer officers of the Army, and two scientific ^civilians, with the addition of an officer of the Navy and an engineer officer of the Army,
who are also the secretaries.
This organization was adopted after mature deliberation. Its theory
is exceedingly simple: In the several districts the engineer officer builds
the light-houses under the direction of the Board, fits them up with all
the necessary apparatus, and then turns them over, with the exception
of subsequent repairs, to the naval officer, who is responsible for. their
faithful performance as aids to navigation. He furnishes the burning and
other materials, visits them from time to time, instructs the keepers in
their duty, and enforces the rules Avhich have been adopted. He has
charge, also, of buoys, beacons, and light-vessels. The duties of the
L I G H T - H O U S E BOARD.
611
two classes.of officers are so distinctly marked that there never need b^any dispute as to the relative jurisdiction.
;
As to the several classes of members of the Board, as well as the officers o f t h e districts, they are chosen with special reference" to their
fitness, from professional education and practical skill, to discharge the.
multiform and important duties connected with the light-house service. '
The experience of the naval officer is required to assist iu deciding uioon
special localities at which signals are required, to enforce the discipline to Avhich the keepers are subjected, and by frequent inspection to
insure the Board that all parts of the system are in proper working
order. Engineering knowledge and skill o f t h e highest character. are
required for devising means and executing plans for the construction of
light-houses of the most durable character, and. in exposed and dangerous positions. The services of the two ciA'ilians, one of whom is the
Superintendent of the CoastSurvey, and the other the Director of the
Smithsonian Institution, are important—the first in furnishing special
surveys for marking channels, shoals, &c., and the other for the investi-'
gation of scientific problems connected with aids to naAigation.
The law of Congress establishing this organization makes no distinction as to Tank in the several classes of members of the Board; no one
of them, therefore, can claim precedence over another; and furthermore,
in order that they ma}^ act in harmonious equality, the whole system is
placed, not under the Secretary of the Navy nor of the Army, but,- as in
the case of the Coast-Survey, under the Secretary of the Treasury, the head
of a neutral Department. Hence, all discussions as to precedence other
than those which arise from a laudable zeal in the faithful discharge of
the specified duties of the several classes, are out of place in the deliberations of the Board.
,
Under the system we have described an amount of work has been
done which Avill compare favorably in quality, quantity, and economy
with that of any other system in existence, and toward this result each
class of members of the establishment have been contributors. To the
NaA^y belongs the credit of the report of Admiral Jenkins relative to
the French system, and principally its introduction into this country
through his untiring industry and great executive ability; and also to
the Navy is due the planning of light-ships, the laborious lAspection of
lights, and the placing of buoys, in tempestuous weather, frequently at
the peril of life. To the Army belongs the credit of the erection of
light-houses, such as that of Minot-s Ledge, bn a sunken rock, exposed
to the full force of the Atlantic gales, and inaccessible except for a few
hours during each lunation; of Spectacle Reef, in the deep water of
Lake Huron, of which the foundation was laid by means of an immense
coffer-dam; of Carysfort Reef, in the open ocean, six. and one-half
miles from l a n d ; of Alligator Reef, three and one-half miles fromthe
shore; and of a series of others in dangerous and difficult positions
which may challenge comparison Avith any work of a similar kind elsew^here couvstructed. Nor have the two civilians of the board been Avanting in zeal for the service. They have each gi\^en from the first a large
amount of time to the work—the one in making reports on the position of channels and shoals, and the proper points for lights, beacons,
and buoys, and the other in the investigations relative to sound for fogsignals, and the examination of different materials for illumination-. To
the duty thus devolved upon the latter he has devoted nearly all his
A^acations for a number of years, with-results which Avill appear in
an appendix to this report.

Itis true, some of the lighthouses in the above list were erected before
the present board had charge of the aids to navigation, but in ever^^ case
they have been supplied with new lighting-apparatus and otherwise
i?nproved. The work, however, can never be finished ; besides the constantly-recurring repairs, many of the lights destroyed by the war have
to be replaced, and nearly all the towers constructed before the present
century are to be rebuilt, and many other early 'structures, which may
still serve for a tinie, are to be extensively repaired. On the western
coast, as our commerce is extended, continued additions to the namber
of lights and other signals will be required ; and, furthermore, the recent
act of Congress to extend t&e light-house system in the great valley of
the Mississippi will add much to the labors and responsibilities of the
Board.
It must be evident, on reflection, that such responsible duties as devolve on the Light-House Board cannot be properly discharged by
merely revising the operations of two executive officers. The Board is
essentially one of experts, and not one of mere revisers, the scA^eral members of it being chosen for their peculiar adaptation to the discharge of
special duties. These duties cannot be reduced to rules, but constantly
require special investigatiqns and decisions on points involving original
conceptions. To this purpose the Board is divided into committees, to
each of which special duties are assigned. These committees are on
finance, engineering, floating-aids, lighting, location, and exiieriments.
The law of Congress directs at least four sessions of the Board annually, but from the first, and in its most active condition, the meetings
have been frequent and the labor of the committees continuous. The
great increase in the extension of the light-house system now demands
at least one session of the Board during each week in order to a. proper
transaction of the business, and inthis connection it is proper to remark
that.no' person should be appointed to the Board having other duties
which will in any Avay interfere Avith those pertaining to the light-house
servdce. - Another important matter, Avhicli should be mentioned in the
same connection, is, that since the duties of the officers of the Board, as
Avell as tliose Avho have charge of the districts, are of so special a char-,
acter that it requires no inconsiderable time to become perfectly famil
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
613
iar with them, few changes should take place. The experience which is
gained, it may be after several years of practice, is lost when an officer
connected with the service is recalled to the Army or NaA^y. But what
is still more detrimental to the service is a frequent change of lightkeepers, for no other reason, in many cases, than to giA'^e place to a political favorite. It is to be hoped that the civil-service rules will be applied
to the appointment of light-keepers, since they would secure material
benefit.*
Besides discharging his duty in connection with committees, each
member of the Board should visit annually oue or more of the districts,
so that the whole extent of the coast and ex^^ery part of the system
may be brought under the personal supervision of the Board. Such
Ansits not only tend to secure the Avatchful care ofthe light-keepers, but
also to afford means for personal consultation with the district officers, and
also to give more definite ideas to the members of the Board, which may
enable them to act raore intelligently in regard to the questions which
are constantly coming up tor decision.
The^most laborious duties Avhich dcA^olve on any officers connected
with the establishment are those of the two secretaries. They are required to attend to the daily correspondence with the officers of all the
districts, to take uote of all the changes Avhich are going on, of the
accidents which may happen; to keeii account of the condition of the
different appropriations, and to transact all ordinary busiuess which has
been reduced to rules. For the proper discharge of the duties of their
office executive talents of a high order are necessary, with a conscientious regard to the best interests of the service, irrespective of personal
consideration. It has sometimes happened, in the changes to Avhich the
Board has been subjected, that a large portion of the duties of.the LightHouse Board have devolved for a time on the two secretaries, but
such a burden ought not to be imposed upon them; and now, in time of
peace, Avhen a sufficient number of officers of the Army and Navy can
be detailed for light-house duty, such an occurrence ought not again to
be allowed.
There is one matter connected with the improvement of the operations
of the system to which the Board would call special attention, namely,
the proper preservation of the records and the means of rendering them
readily accessible. As the light-house system is to exist as long as our
GoA^ernment endures, it is highly important that the record of the experience and operations of each generation of officers should be transmitted iu a legible form to their successors. The materials exist in the
archives of the Office for a history of ev^ery light-station in the United
States. These, hoAvever, are in reports on file in the archiA^es, in volumes
of the bound letters addressed to the board, and in pressed copies of
letters sent from the Light-House Office. Of the first of these volumes
there are four hundred and fifty, averaging eight hundred pages each.
Of the second class, or of those of letters sent, there are two hundred
and tive A^olumes, averaging one thousand pages each. In the early
days of the Board it was supposed that pressed copies of letters would
be indelible, but unfortunately this has not been found to be the case;
experience proves that they gradually fade, and every year become less
and less legible. To be preserved they must be copied, Avhich operation
Avill require, from careful estimation, the labor of thirty persons for one
year; and, furthermore, although these letters are indexed by the names
^ At the present time the civil-service rules have, by proclamation'of the President,
been made applicable to the Light-House Establi.shment.
-614
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
of the writers, there Is no subject-index of letters sent or received.
There is, therefore, also need of copious indices to render this mass of
material^much of it relative to original investigation—available. ' It
may be asked Avhy this work has not been commenced before. The
answer to this question is readily giveu: the clerical force of the Office
has for many years been barely sufficient to carry on the daily routine
business, it not having been increased, Avith the exception of a single
clerk, since the organization of the board, twenty-two years ago. For
this work an appropriation of $30,000 is asked, not to be applied for the
employment of additional permanent clerks, but for the payment of
copyists; it may be of women, paid by the araount of labor accomplished.
It has been from the first the policy of the board to improve the condition of the light-house system by having constantly an eye to the
latest discoA^eries and inventions x)ertaining to this end in our own or
foreign countries, as A^^ell as to contribute its share to the existing sum
of general knowledge on the subject by original investigations.
In accordance with this policy, the Light-House Board obtained the
sanction of the Secretary of the Treasury to commission Maj. .George
H. Elliot, of the Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., and then engineer secretary of the board, to visit Europe and report upon anything Avhich he
might observe relatiA^e to light-houses, of importance to the system of
the United States. This act of the Board at the time mentioned was
prompted by a commission of the officers of Trinity House, England,
Avho visited this country for the purpose of inspecting our light-house
system, and itiAated us to send a commission on our part, for a similar
purpose, to England.
Major Elliot Avas everywhere received with marked cordiality, and
CA^ery facility was afforded him for obtaining the required information.
On his return he embodied the result of his iuA^estigationsin a report,
which comprises 288 printed octavo pages, aud is illustrated with 50
plates and 31 wood-cuts. This report, Avhich was originally intended
for the Light-House Board, contains much valuable information. It Avas
called for, however, by the United States Senate and published as a
public document, for the information of the people as well as of Congress, and Avas printed under Major Elliot's supervision after he had
ceased to be connected with the Light-House Board. While the members of the Light-House Board fully concur in the propriety of giving
all useful information directly to the public, they think that iu this case
the comparisons in which Major Elliot has indulged relative to the efficiency, in some particulars, of our system and those of Europe, ought
either to have been omitted i n a rei^iort given to the public or be accompanied with such comments as a just consideration of them would require.
The object of the Board in sending Major Elliot abroad was to obtain
facts carefully collected, and to leave to the Board the consideration as
to the propriety of adopting changes founded upon these facts, after a
careful examination of them in relation to the conditions under which
our light-house system is maintained. Furthermore, since the report
contains accounts of what has been done abroad in the way of improvements, much of which was previously familiar to the Board, such accounts ought not to ha\^e been given to the Avorld Avithout an accompanying statemeut of what the Board itself has accomplished in the same
liner For example. Major Elliot gives a detailed accouut of a late series
of experiments by theTrinity-House Board on fog-signals. Now^, although
this account i^ interesting in itself to the public generally, yet, being
-addressed to the Light-House Board of the United States, it Avould tend

615
to convey the idea that the facts.which it states were new to the Board,
and that the latter had obtained no results of a similar kind; while a reference to the appendix to this report will show that the researches of our
Light-House Board have been much more extensive on this subject than
those of. the Trinity House, and that the latter has established no facts
of practical importance which had not previously been observed and
used by the former. It will be seen fromthe same appendix that the
Board has made extensive researches with regard to lighting-maJterials,
and has sought by improA^ed lamps to employ those which are the
abundant products of our OAVU country, and that they are fully aware of
the properties of mineral oil, and haA-e given the preference to lard
as au illuminating-material on account of its excellent qualities, particularly in lights of the first order, combined with entire safety, an essential element in light-house economy.
The Board-do not deem it expedient to attempt to introduce the electric light, or that of gas, on accouut of the complexity and cost of the
apparatus. It is their.intention, however, to adopt any improA^ements
in lamps ofthe importance of which they are assured by the results of
photometric experiment. The introduction of an improved wick since
the report above mentioned, has increased the capacity of our lamps of
the first order to the amount of a hundred candles. This, howcA^er, is
at a proportionally increased expense, on accountof the larger quantity
of oil consumed.
- During the last fiscal year the following changes have occurred in the
board: Rear-Admiral Davis has been succeeded by Commodore Murray ; Colonel Poe has relieved Geueral Humphreys; Mr. Patterson,^who
succeeded Professor Peirce, as Superintendent of the Coast Survey, also
relieved the Professor from duty in the Light-House Board, and Major
Hains relieved Major Ellioit as engineer secretary.
The other members of the Board, viz, Professor Henry, Colonel Barnard, Captain Davis, and Commander Walker, remain as at the date.of
the last annual report.
APPROPRIATIONS.
I t will be seen, by reference to the estimates, that the amounts asked
for the next fiscal year are in general greater than those requested for
the year previous. In regard to the estimates for supplies, the increase
in this case is principally demanded by the increased number of lighthouses established by the Government and now in operation.
Secondly, as regards the repairs, the increase under this head is demanded on account of the condition of the light-houses, especially of the
. older stations, several of which were erected prcA^ious to the present
century, fbr which the amount of repairs is constantly increasing, and
for which a sufficient sum was not granted by the last Congress.
With reference to the estimates for buoys, this is a never-ending and
constantly-increasing expenditure. In the mouths of rivers, where the
buoys are required as essential aids to navigation in marking but the
channel, they are in Avinter, at the North, constantly liable to be carried
away by floating ice; and since the disappearance of a single one of these
aids may be attended with a loss of life and property, its place inust be immediately supplied, il maybe by a succession of buoys, at Avhatever cost of
money and labor on the part of the Light-House Board. To be ready at
all times to supply the losses as soon as they, occur, an adequate supply
of buoys must be constantly kept on hand. Unfortunately, however, on
616
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
account of the deficiency in the appropriations of previous years, the
supply which should be kept constantly on hand has fallen below the
minimum, which experience has shown to be safe, especially in winters
of unusual severity.
To lessen the expense occasioned by the unavoidable carrying away
of buoys by the ice the Board has adopted the plan ofremoving duriug
the winter the large, costly floating buoys of boiler-iron and replacing
them with spars of wood, Avhich less perfectly serve the purpose intended.
So important, however, is this matter considered by the Board of Trade
of New York thati it has petitioned that the large iron buoys be retained
in position in that harbor during the whole winter. If this request be
granted a considerable addition to the appropriation Avill be required.
As to fog-signals, the coast of no other countiy is so subject to fogs
as that of some parts of the United States. On this account, fog-signals in many places are almost as necessary as light-houses. But
abundant experience has shown that a sound of sufficient magnitude to
become an efficient aid to navigation can only be produced by a large
amount of power^ derived from steam or heated air, and applied by
means of complex machinery, expensive in first cost and in continued
maintenance.
The amount of another item has been increased, viz, the expenses of
light-ships. This results—
1st. From the addition of two new light-vessels to the service.
2d. To the important repair to which three others have been subjiccted.
3d. To the improvement in the efficiency of these important aids to
navigation Avhich have been introduced.
I t must be remembered that the light-ship serves the purpose of
a light-house maintained in a position at Avhich a light is absolutely
necessary, but Avhere one has not been erected, because of the impossibility or great difficulty of establishing such a structure. The lightship must therefore liaA^e the same permanency and efficiency as the
light-house, giving warning to the mariner by its light in clear weather,
and its sound-signals during fogs.
In the construction of the two new light-ships ordered by Congress
at the last session, improvements are about to be introduced in regard to
the fog-signals which, while they will greatly increase the range to which
the sound maybe heard, will, of neceSvSity, increase the cost of their maintenance.
A small increase in the appropriation has been asked to defray the
cost of inspections of lights by theBoard. We think this an important
item. The members of the Board, in order to properly discharge their
duties, should be practically familiar with every part of the light-house
system, should have a personal knowledge, as far as possible, of each
station, so as to enable them to A^ote intelligently oneach question which
may occur in their deliberations. Furthermore, nothing tends in a
greater degree to keep the Light-House Establishment up to its maximum
state of efficiency than frequent visits of members of the board to the
light-house districts at irregular intervals and at unexpected times.
Duriug the past year one or other members of the board has been constantly occupied in visiting the different districts, and the effect of such
visits fully warrants the increased appropriation asked for on this point.

terior shells of the two new iron towers, in process of construction at
date of last report, have been set up at the site, and the interior brickAvork and iron stairways carried up to the full height, window-frames
set, and the walls plastered. It is expected that the lights will be exhibited from the new towers during the present season, and. the old towers
Avill then be taken down. The lens of the fixed light will be changed to
the first order, and that of the fiashing light Avill remaiu of the second
order.
45. Portland Breakwater^ in Portland Harbor, Maine.—The temporary
light-house has been remoA'ed about 150 feet in a northeasterly direction
to the pier at the end of the recently-completed extension. An appropriation of $6,000 having been made at the last session of Congress for
a permanent structure at this station, plans have been prepared and
approved by the board, and Avork ordered to be commenced.
Hypocrite's, eastern entrance to Toionsend Harbor, Maine.—The commerce passing these islands Avould be greatly benefited by the establishment of a light at the eastern end. thereof, and an appropriation of
$15,000 is asked for the purpose.
Cape Neddiclc, f Yorlc Nubble, J coast of Maine.-^The erection of a lighthouse at this point for the benefit of the coasting-trade is considered of
importance, and an appropriation of $15,000 is asked for that purposeIn the first district there are a number of small light-stations, built early
in the present century by contract. The walls of the houses are usually of rubble-masonry, laid in common lime; the roofs ATcry fiat, and
surmounted with the lantern. In most cases the lime has entirely disappeared from the joints, the wood-Avork where it enters the masonry' is
rotten, and the rafters have settled under the Aveight of the lantern. A
large expenditure is annually necessary to keep these buildings in even
a passable condition. Economy, the efficiency of the service, and the
comfort and health of their keepers require that the buildings should

The following numbers, which precede the names of stations, correspond with those of the '' Light-house List of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts of the United States," issued January 1, 1874.
LIGHT-HOUSES AND LIGHTED BEACONS.
54, 55. Newburyport Harbor, on Plum Island, entrance Merrimack Biver,
Massachusetts.—Owing to the encroachment of the sea, both towers have
beeu moved to the southward about 75 feet.
bQ, bl, Ipswich, entrance Ipswich Harbor, Massachusetts.—The roof
of the keeper's dwelling has been partially reshingled, new saddleboards put on, cellar bulk-head rebuilt, and barn partially reboarded.
78. Bace Point, on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.—A one and a half story
frame dwelling for the assistant keeper has been erected.
80. Long Point, entrance Provincetown Harbor, Massachusetts.—An appropriation of $13,000 Avas made by act approved June 23, 1874, for
rebuilding the tpwer and dwelling, and erecting a fog-signal at this
station. Plans haA^e been already prepared, and work ordered to be
commenced.
91. Monomoy Point, southern end of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.—The two
last annual reports contain the following remarks, which are respectfully
annexed:
Monomoy Point.—Tbe light at this station, which is of the fourth order, on a tower
about 40 feet high, was originally intended as a guide to Old Stage JIarbor. The harbor has been filled with sand, and cannot now be entered, and the light is therefore of
no further use for that purpose. But, inasmuch as nearly all vessels (both steamers and
sailing) plying between New York and the eastern ports pass this point, and have no
other guide than the light-ships, which cannot be seen a sufficient distance, it is considered a matter of jthe greatest importance that this light should be replaced by one of
sufficient power to guide vessels safely throngh this intricate passage. For this purpose
there is recommended a second-order fixed light, varied by red flashes, for which an
estimate is submitted.
Nauset Beacli^ Cape Cod, Massachusetts.—The lights at this station
having been increased iu power, an additional keeper became necessary,
for whom additional quarters are required. An appropriation of $5,000
is asked therefor.
95. Sankaty Head, on east side of Nantucket, Mass.—The interior plastering of the keeper's dwelling has been repaired, anew fioor laid inthe
addition, sinks repaired, cellar-stairs renewed, roof repaired and new
saddle-boards put on, the exterior walls of the brick and the trimmings
and windoAv-sash of the Avooden buildings repainted, and the fences
about the premises rebuilt. These repairs Avere paid for from the geueral appropriation for repairs.
East Chop, Martha's Yineyard, east entrance to Holmes Hole Harbor,
Massachusetts..—r-A light has been maintained for several years at this
point by the subscription of the owners of the steamships and by other
priA^ate individuals. As there is no doubt as to the utility of the light,
40 F
i
626
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
it is recommended that an appropriation for erecting a small light be
made.
97. Gay Head, on southioest point of Martha'x Vineyard, Mass.—The
exterior of the light-to wer has been repainted and the barn new silled,
shingled, and whitesvashed. On the 15th. of May, 1874, the light at
this station was changed from fiashing-white by making every fourth
fiash red.
103. Bishop and Clerk's, on Bishop and Clerk's Shoal, Yineyard Sound,
Massachusetts.—The timber foundation of the tower, which had become
exposed by the action of the sea, has beeu covered with concrete masonryo The interior of the tower has received some slight repairs.
112. Sow and Pigs, entrance to Yineyard Sound and Buzzard's Bay, Massachusetts.—It is A^ery iraportant that a permanent structure should be
built on this shoal, to take the place of the light-vessel UOAV moored in
the vicinity, Avhich is liable to be driven from her station by stress of
weather. A permanent structure would not only furnish a better guide
to vessels entering the sound, but would be a saving of expense by enabling both the light-shi}) and the Cuttyhunk light to be dispensed with.
An appropriation of $50,000, to commence the work, is therefore earnestly recommended.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
133. Bullock's Point, Providence Biver, Bhode Island.—The keeper's
dwelling, &c., authorized by act of June 23, 1874, will be commenced as
soon as the detailed Avorking-plans are prepared and approved.
137. Sassafras Point,.Providence Biver, Bhode Island.—-The building
for the use of the keeper of these lights, autliorized by act of June. 23,
Avill be placed under construction as soon as detailed working-plans are
prepared and approved.
138. Point Judith, Bhode Island.—The building of additional quarters
at this station for the accommodation of the assistant, keepers is rendered necessary by the recent establishment of a steam fog-signal.
With this view the sum of $8,000 has been estinjated for the work, and
it is recommended that amount be appropriated.
140. Block Island, [southeasterly,] Bhode Island.—The purchase for the
sitefor this light-house Avasfinallyconcluded, and a steam fog signal (siren)
in duplicate, except the boiler, erected under proper housing; a keeper
and assistant-keeper were appointed to take charge of and operate the
same. The signal is in operation. A cisteru Avas built for furnishing
AA^ater for the signals, and pipes laid for Avater-supply from an adjacent
pond on the land of the Government. The pond, it is found by experience of the past year, must be revetted by a wall in order that it may
collect and reserve a larger supply of water in anticipation of a season of
drought. Contracts have been made for the dwelling aud tOAver, and
already the work has advanced to part ofthe first stories of these structures. The metal-work of the buildings and stairs has also been placed
under contract, and the portion of the first story delivered on the island.
The lantern, made under contract, has been completed, and is now in
store ready to be delivered at the station when needed.
The expenses attending the purchase of the land at this site, district
attorney's fees, and the connections with the water-supply, were somewhat greater than was anticipated. This, and the exorbitant cost of
hauling the machinery of fog-signal, lumber, labor, &c., have drawn
heavily on the appropriation for this station. The metal-work and lantern have to be delivered to the contractors for the dwelling and tower
at the site, and the appropriation being all covered by the contracts, no
funds remain available for the completion ofthe reservoir. The sum of
$4,500 is asked to meet expenses attending the same.
Montauk Point, NewYork.—The repairs authorized at this station b^^
the appropriation act of June 10, 1872, have been completed.
143. Stonington Harbor, Connecticut.—The general repairs authorized
by the act of June 23, 1874, will be undertaken at an early day.
147. New London Harbor, Connecticut.—The second class fog-signal
authorized at this station under the act of March 3, 1873, has been
completed and is now in operation.
149. Bace Bock, Long Island Sound, New York.—The Avork at this station
continued until the month of September, 1873, Avhen all active operation
ceased. The contractor reported the foundation so far completed as to
be ready for the placing of the iron band t^ be tilled with concrete, and
at the same time submitted a statement of the amount of riprap stone
removed from the centre of the island. This statement the engineer of
the disirict considered in excess of what he had computed as necessary
or possible to be remoA'ed. After some correspondence upon the subject,
the committee on engineering of the board, the contractor, and the
engineer of the district, proceeded, to the station, when a surA^ey of the
work was made, the ainount removed determined, and the matter
adjusted. Since the settlement of the above question the Avork has
proceeded Avith the view of xireparing the bed for laying the. concrete.
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
633
The necessary removal of remaining stones that interfered with the
placing of the irdn band, 69 feet in diameter, has been completed, and
the band placed. Material of the various kinds for the manufacture of
the concrete in large quantities on the island has been assembled, and
tests have been made of all to insure a compliance Avith the terms of
contract. The contractor has erected a shanty on the work for the
accommodation of his workmen, &c., and it is hoped he ma}^ now push
his work forward with more energy and means and equipmeuts than
he has heretofore employed.
150. Little Gull Island, Long Island Sound, New York.—The completion of the landing at this station^ for which Congress made an appropriation in the aot of June 23, 1874, will be undertaken without delay.
155. Saybrook,' Lynde Point, Connecticut.—The repairs and rebuilding
of the fog-bell frame, &c., at this station, authorized by the act of June
23, 1874, will beiundertalicn at once.
161. Faulkner's Island, Long Island Sound, Connecticut.—In the last
two annual reports an appropriatiou has been asked for this station of
$2,500, for protection of the bank, which is gradually wearing away
from the effects of the sea. A special report, submitting petitions from
various steamship companies and others interested in the navigation
of the Sound, A\^as receiA^ed by the board during last spring, asking
that a poAverful jfog-signal be established at this station, Avhere many
A^esseLs have been wrecked ; reference is made to a recommendation in
the annual report for the year ending June 30, 1871, for the erection of
a signal at this station. The 'recommendation is now submitted, and
an appropriation of $5,000 asked for the purpose, which sum, with the
$2,500 for the protection of the bank, is embraced in the estimates, or
$7,500 in the aggregate.
164. Southwest Ledge, Neio Haven Harbor, Connecticut.—Owing to. a
severe storm last Avinter, during which the work on the tubular foundation was greatly damaged, the operations were abandoned, except the
continuing of the deliA^ery of stone for the riprap which is to protect
the foundation.! Seven thousand tons of stone haA^e so far been deliA^ered. The stones which were rolled into the ring during the storm, and
interfere Avith the laying of the stone ring on which the iron tube is to
rest, have been iremoA^ed and the stone laid. The placing of the tube
will shortly be resumed.
165. Stratford^ Poini, Connecticut.—li is stated in the last two annual
reports that'^ the buildings of this station are A^ery old, and unfit for
occupation." They should be rebuilt, and au estimate for a suitable
dwelling is submitted. It is recommeuded that the amount of $15,000
be appropriated, as the work is urgently needed.
'
167. Stratford Shoal, Middle-Ground, Long Island Sound, New York.—
The riprap ring within which the foundation for this lighthouse is to be
placed has beeu completed, and plans for the pier have been approA^ed.
The work Avill be commenced as soon as working-plans are prepared.
The plan now approved consists of a granite pier, backed with concrete.
The sum of $5Q,000 is asked for the completiou ofthe work ou the plan
modified as abbve.
\6^. Bridgeport Harbor, Connecticut.—The fog-bell apparatus at this
station has been improved by the addition of a new part to the machine
of improved pattern.
171. Penfield. Beef, Connecticut.—The dwelling and tOAver of this station have been satisfactorily completed, aud the light was exhibited the
first time on January 16, 1874. A fog-bell, struck by machinery, has
been established at this station.
634
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
173". Eaton's Neck, New Yorlc.—Yarious improvements in the station,
and better facilities for securing a sufficient supply of water for operating
the steam fog-signal at this important station have been made during
the year. An appropriation of $8,000 is asked for additional accommodations for an assistant keeper, made necessary by the establishment of
the steam fog-signal.
174. Lloyd's Harbor, New York.—The Avork of protecting the site from
the abrasion of the sea under the appropriation of June 23, 1874, will
be undertaken at the earliest possible time.
. Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New Yorlc.—A petition having
been made to Congress for erection of a light in Cold Spring Harbor,
Oyster Bay, Long Island, the matter was referred for examination and
report to the inspector and engineer of the district. A personal examination was made of the locality, and a special joint report submitted,
recommending tAvo range-lights on the mainland, for which an appropriation of $20,000 is asked.
177. Sandh Point, New York.—The repairs authorized by act of June
10, 1872, for this station have been completed.
178. Hart Island, New York,—It having been ascertained that no
patent to the site selected for this light could be granted to the United
States by the State, it was decided to change the location of the light
to the ^' Stepping Stones," distant about one mile, and which would subserve the purpose required of the light fully as well as the first location.
The latter site involving no question of riparian ownership, no difficulty
will be experienced in erecting the structure. Cession of jurisdiction
from the State of New York having betMi obtained over the site of the
*'Stepping Stones," and Congress having authorized the change of location of the light, the erection of this much-needed aid to navigation will
be commenced at an early day.
179. Throgg's Neck, New York.—The keeper's dwelling is greatly in
need of repairs, the sills of the house entirely decayed, causing unequal settling, the doors and windows are all out of position, the
ifiastering of the house broken down, &c. The repairs will be quite
extensiA^e, and doubt is felt as to the propriety of the expenditure of a
large sum for repairs of so old a building. It would seem to be more
judicious to build a new dwelling, the estimate for which is submitted—
$8,000.
182. Great West Bay, New York.—The repairs authorized at this station under the appropriation of June 10, 1872, have been completed.
183. Fire Island, New York,—The repairs at this station, authorized
under the act of June 10, 1872, haA^e been completed, and the station
placed in good condition.
' 185 and 186. Highlands of Navesink, Neio Jersey.—The fencing, grading of grounds, and some repairs, needed at this station, Avill be undertaken at once, under the authority of the act appropriating funds therefor of June 23, 1874.
188. East beacon, Sandy Hook, New Jersey.—The several brush jetties
built for protecting this station from the encroachment of, the sea, which
at one time threatened its destruction, have proA^ed very beneficial in
arresting and collecting the sand.
189. West beacon, Sandy Hook, New Jersey.—The recommendation
contained in last year's report for au appropriation of $6,000 for rebuilding the crib-work at this station is renewed, arid the estimate submitted.

submitted. Upon a request from the board of pilots' commissioiiers,
there were erected at this station and at Chapel Hill Beacon day-marks
or screens, composed of large plank frames, painted black, for use in distinguishing these stations in winter when the ground is covered with
snow. These were erected at each station, fianking the dwelling ou
either side.
j
^
194. Elm Tree beacon and range lights, Staten Island, New Yor/^:.—This
station needs essehtial repairs and renovations, and an estimate is accordingly made of $4,500.
196. Princess Bay, Staten Island, New York.—The protection sea-Avail at
this station has been entirely completed, including the jetties, &c.
198. Fort Tompkins, Staten Isktnd, New York.—The new dwelling and
tower at this station have been completed, and was lighted for the first
time on December 20, 1873. The old tower and keeper's dwelling have
been removed.
203. Passaic light, Newark Bay, New Jersey.—The fog-bell at this station is at present struck by hand, which precludes efficient service
during fogs. AiStCA^ens striking-apparatus of improved pattern has
therefore been purchased, and A^ill be placed at the station at an early
day.
'
210. Hudson City, Hudson Biver, New York.—The pile foundation and
granite pier for this light house haA^ebeeu completed, and. the contractor
for the dwelling-house and tower has carried his Avork forward to the
completion of tlie first story and assembling of the material for the
remainder of the work. The lantern has been made under contract, and
delivered at the station.
214-225. Hudson Biver Beacons, on the Upper Hudson, New Yo7''k.—The
portable beacoiis were removed toward the close of navigation and
stored, stake lights being substituted for them till the close of navigation on the Hudson. The repairs required, more or less extensiA^e at all
the sites, were attended to, ^ud on the opening of navigation in May
the beacons were replaced.
467-483. Whitehall Narrows, Lake Champlain.
469, 470. Bedcons_ Nos. 3 and 4, in Whitehall Yarroif?^.—The piers of
these two beacons are built, and the lights are shoAvn from stakes. It
is recommended that portable beacons be erected on the piers similar to
others in the Narrows, and that the sum. of $1,600 be appropriated for
the purpose.
485. Split Bock, Lalce Champlain, New York.—The dwelling at this
station is in a state of decay, and needs rebuilding. It is of poor construction, and unfit for the climate of this latitude, where the severe and
long Avinters demand houses substantially built. To repair the present
dwelling would cost as much as tbe building is Avorth. It is, therefore,
recommended'that an appropriation of $5,000 be made to rebuild it.
486. Juniper Island, Lake Champlain,-Yermont.—The work on the bellframe and repairs of this station authorized by the act of June 23,
1874, will be undertaken Avithout delay.
487 & 488. Burlington breakwater beacons, Yermont.—The dwellinghouse for thelkeeper pro Added for in the appropriation of March 3,-1871,
has not been built in consequence of the continual work in extending
breakwaters. The breakwater, it is understood, Avill not be further extended for the present, and a plan has been submitted for placing the
dwelling houi-^e somewhere between the two beacons. This plan has been
approved, and Congress having re appropriated the funds, the work Avill
be commenced this season. The beacons will be moved at the earliest
day to the ends of the breakwater.
489. Colchester Beef, Lake Champlain, Yermont,—The protection of the

foundation of this structure by an enrockment of stone will be commenced at once under the authority of the act of Congress of June 23,
1874, appropriating $5,000 therefor.
490. Bluff Point, Yalcour Island, Lalce Champlain, New York.—Th\^
light has been completed, and was lighted for the first time on the opening of navigation in the spring of 1874. The building is of blue limestone, identical in construction to that at Barber's Point. The work
throughout has been well done, and the station is one of the best on
Lake Champlain. The site of the light is a high blufi', and the supplies,
&c., must be landed in a little bay to the eastward, which right is
secured to the Goverument in the deed. A roadway to this bay is very
much needed, as it is almost impossible to get supplies from the landing
to the station. To meet this want, an estimate of $1,000 is submitted.

has within this period been established is that at Block Island, which
•was put in operation upon the 1st of January last and has iierformed
perfectly.
A scheme for applying the steam-whistle to lightships has nearly
been completed. ! An appropriation having been made at last session of
Congress for a steam-signal on a light-ship in Long Island Sound, the
work will be undertaken at an early day.

during the.year.o
L I G H T H O U S E DEPOT, STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK.
The grading ofthe grounds and gener^il repairs of buildings, &c., have
been continued. Some necessary drainage has also been attended to.
641
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
Hose-carriage aijid suitable hose-pipe, in lengths sufficient to reach from
the docks to any|of the buildings of the depot, have been provided in
case of fire.
An elevator of approved pattern has been introduced into the lamp«hop building, saving labor, time, and expense in the taking in and out.
o f t h e building cases of lenses and illuminating apparatus, &c. An
emery-Avheel grinder has been erected in the lamp-shop for finishing
work, Avhich, under the old system of doing it by hand, consumed much
time. The plan qriginally contemplated for the introduction of a foundery in the lamp-shop building for the necessary brass castings required
in the manufactures at this depot, has been carried out, and a good furnace is now provided for "the purpose.
During the year the lands adjoining the depot on the south haA^e been
sold to parties who liaA^e now nearly completed a system of improvement along the • water-front, consisting of extensive bulk-heads and
docks, where from fifty to sixty ships may be acco m mod ate dAv ith wharfage. Buildings for the public stores have been commenced. In making
these improvements, the land has been graded doAvn to 7 or 8 feet below the former leA^el, Avhere it joins the depot lands. This involved
heaA^y grading and change of the line of roadway in the depot lands, particularly in the south and southeast portions, and changes Avill yet have
to be made depending in extent u^Don the completion of the improA^ements
on the lands adjoining. To meet expenses of these changes an estimate
is submitted of $10,000, while the recommendations submitted in the
annual report of last year for $30,000 for commencing the enlargement
of the basin and;renovating wharves, &c., and for brick addition to oilshed, &c., $20,000, are urgently renewed, and estimates included, Total
amount therefor required is $60,000.
DEPOT, NEAV LONDON, CONN.
During the year there has been purchased a water-lot at New London, Conn., adjoining thepresent Government wharf at that place, which
Avill afford increased facilities to the. vessels of the Light-House Establishment for coaling, taking on supplies, &c.
Lens apparatus received from France, and delivered from light-house depot,
Staten Island; also number of cases containing the same, from July 1,
1873, to June 30, 1874.

The numbers preceding the names of stations correspond with those
of the * Light-house list bf the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts of the
^
United States," issued January 1, 1874.
LiaHT-I-IOUSES AND L i a H T E D BEACONS.
226. Barnegat, seacoast of Neio Jersey.—The seuii-monthly measurements along the beach near the light-house have been continued, and
uo important changes of the water-lines areapx^arent, the works for protecting the beach having effected the object of their construction. The
changes ofthe position of the sand-hill, north of the dwelling, are very
marked. The store-house is covered by drifting sand and needs removing; the plank platform between the tower and dwelling must be renewed. The dwelling outside aud in should be painted, and a porch
roof should be placed over the back doors, and call-bells provided. Estimated cost of repairs $1,200.
227. Tucker's Beach light-station, Neio Jersey.—Thi^ station has two
keepers. The dwelling is a one-story brick building; outside dimensions, 35 by 20 feet, containing but two rooms, beside the attic; there
is a small, detached frame kitchen. The accommodations for the keepers are entirely inadequate; the house should be remodeled entirely and
enlarged, or a new one built. This station ueeds a new boat-house, and
the buoy-shed, now some eight miles off', and often inaccessible, should
be removed to the. light-house site. For rebuilding keeiDcr's dwelling
and erecting buoy-shed and boat-house, an appropriation of $10,000 is
asked.
228. Absecom Ught-station.—The semi-monthly measurements of the
beach near this station have been continued throughout the year. They
show uo important changes. New storm-doors have been placed on the
dwelling, which have proved" of great service; the lot has been graded
and put in order; a Driven force-pump has been placed in the grounds,
which furnishes an abundant supply of water.
229. Hereford Inlet light station.—A new structure, which was finished
on the 16th of April last. Th e light was first exhibited, in accordance
Avith '' Notice to Mariners," on the 11th of May. A boat-house has been
built, and boat furnished. The grounds around the building cleared up
and graded.
232. Cape Henlopen light-station, Belaware.—The tower needs repointing, the dwelling should be painted outside and in, the pavement around
the dwelling should be repaired, and call-bells or speaking-tubes, for
calling relief, should be provided. Estimated cost of repairs,. $500.
233. Cape Henlopen beacon light-station.—The water-tank and floor
in one room need repairs, and eastern side of the house, which leaks
during storms, should be shingled; the house, outside and in, needs
painting. Estimated cost of repairs. $600.
234. Belaware breakwater light-station.—A special appropriation of
644
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
$600, made at the last sessioii of Congress, will make all repairs needed,
at this station.
235. Blispillion Creek light-station.—A special appropriation of $5,000
was made at the last session of Congress "for the erection of keeper's'
dwelling" at this station. Designs have been prepared for additions to
the present structure, and the work will be commenced at once.
236. Brandywine Shoal light-station.—The plank platform over the
iron-pile ice-fender at this station having been exposed to the weather
for seventeen years, was found too much decayed to be safe or to be
repaired. It has been entirely renewed. A new cedar water-tank has
been placed in the building, instead of the one of iron, entirely destroyed
by rust after twenty-four years' service. The shelter over the fog-signal
has been renewed; new boat-davits and a small store-house have been
built on platiorm, and some minor repairs made to the dwelling, which
has been painted inside and out.
237. Blaurice Biver light-station.—-AW the windows in dwelling need
overhauling, and a' new oil-room should be built, the oil now being kept
in the kitchen. The wooden water-tank in cellar, after twenty-five years'
service, is decayed, and should be replaced by one of brick. Estimated
cost of repairs, $700.
239. Cross Ledge liglit-station.—Bids for the erection of foundation
pier for this work were invited by advertisement on the 13tli of June.
Owing to informality in the two lowest bids all were rejected by the
board, and bids for the work were again invited June 30. Before^ the
contract was made the question of title and jurisdiction were raised
and all operations have been suspended until they can be settled; should
this be done in season the foundation will be laid in the fall.
240. Blahon's Biver light-station.—The monthly measurements of
marsh show that the abrasion is less rapid than formerly, though still
going on. The building will probably stand during the coming winter.
A special appropriation of $15,000 was made during the last session of
Cougress for a new structure on a more secure site. A design for the
new structure has been prepared, and the work will be taken in hand
without unnecessary delay.
241. Ship John Shoal light-station.—Bids for the iron for cylindrical
foundation of this structure were received on the 8th of June, after
public advertisement. The iron is nearly ready for delivery. Arrangements were in progress for putting down pile foundation and building
a temporary xilatform to aid in construction, when the questions of title
and jurisdiction were raised and all work suspended. It is hoped that
these difhculties can be overcome in time to put down the fouudation
and exhibit a temporary light from it the present season.
24:2. Cohansey light-station.—A special appropriation of $400 was
made during the last session of Congress for a new boat-house at this
station, which will be built. The building needs thorough overhauling
andxenovating to the extent of leaving little of the present building
but the walls, which are passably good; for this x)urpose an ax)propriation of $8,000 is asked.
244. Beedy Island light-station.—A special appropriation of $20,000
was made during thelast session of Congress for rebuilding the structure
at this station. The wor\ will be commenced at an early day.
245. Pea Patch light-station—^The erection of this structure has been
suspended, as it is believed that the range-lights proposed for guiding
vessels past Bulkhead Shoal will render a light at this point unnecessary.
246. Bulkhead Shoal light-station.—An appropriation of $25,000 was
made at the last session of Congress for range-lights to guide past B ulk
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
645
head Shoal, and the previous appropriation of $50,000 for a light on
Bulkhead Shoal i made available for the same purpose. A survey has
been made, and the location of the range-lights fixed. The necessary
steps to secure title to the site and cession of jurisdiction have been ^
taken.
247. Christiana light-station.—A platform 50 by 150 feet has been built
for buoys. It is placed ou the stone piers, which rest on grillage below
water on the top of piles. The dock between the wharves has been
dredged out to the depth of 6 feet of low water, and the soil deposited
inside of the river-bank.
!

LIGHT-SHIPS.
>
227. Five-Fathom Bank, on Five-Fathom Bank off^ the Capes of Belaware.—On the 16th of January, 1874, during a heavy blow, this vessel
parted her cable, losing 75 fathoms of I J inch chain, and a mushroom anchor of about 4,000 pounds. After parting the chain the vessel drifted
from her station about three-fourths of a mile east by south, when the
spare anchor wag let go and the vessel brought up. As she had drifted
off shore, the lights were exhibited regularly at night. March 2, 1874,
the revenue steamer W. H. Crawford took,the vessel in tow, and replaced her on the station. The deck and hull require recaulking, and
the vessel will be thoroughly overhauled and refitted. On the 22d of
April, while onq of the boats belonging to this vessel was crossing Cold
Spring bar with'the keeper and fotir men, she was capsized, the four
men losing their lives, the keeper being the only one saved. The boat
was completely broken up and everything in her lost.
646
REPORT ON T H E
FINANCES.
239. Upper Bliddle or-Cross-Ledge light-vessel No. 19.—This vessel has
had no repairs made to her since the last annual report. On February
8, the ice coming down the bay in large quantities, the vessel was forced
from her station and proceeded under sail to the Breakwater, where she
remained until February 16, when she was returned to the station by
the tender Yiolet. At 7 a. m., pn the 29th of October, one of the boats,
containing the mate and two men belonging to the vessel, left Little
Creek Landing, Delaware, fbr the station. On the evening of the same
day the schooner Marshall Perin found the boat bottom up, recovered
it, and delivered it to the keeper of Delaware Breakwater light-house,
since which time no tidings of the men have been received, and the impression is that the boat capsized, and they were all drowned.
Belief light-ship No. 18.—This vessel is in good condition, and ready for
service.

252. Cape Charles, on Smith's Island, Cape Charles, Yirginia.^—Information having bpen received of the existence of a crack in the tower,
immediately under the lantern-galler}^, suxiposed to have been caused by
a heavy gale of:wind, a party was sent to repair damage. This was
done by fVistening the lantern-gallery, which is iron, to the stone brackets of the tower by bolts on the outside. The repairs were comxileted in
the eaiTy part of October, xlt the same time other minor rex)airs were
made at the station.
253. Cap>e Henry, on south side of the main entrance to Chesapealee Bay,
Yirginia.—This tower is a frustum of an octagonal pj^ramid, built on a
raised foundatioii of loose stone, some thirty feet abovethe level of the

brick cylinder, the latter having been built in 1857, at which time the
station was last refitted. O.f the eight faces of the tower, six of them
show on tbe outride large cracks, or openings, extending from the base
upward. Four bf them are apparently less dangerous than the other
two, and, alone, would not warrant any great apx)reheusiou of danger;
but the latter, viz, those on the north and south faces, where the
strength of the masonry is lessened by openings for windows, are
much worse, and extend from the base almost to the top of the tower.
At xiresent, the tower is in an unsafe condition, and there is no way of
repairing the damage satisfactorily. This old tower has done good
service, having been built in 1791, and is now the oldest tower on the
coast south of Cape Henlopen. It is undoubtedly one of the first lights,,
in xioint of importance, on the coast. A new tower should be built at
this station without delay. A good site can be had near the present
location on Government land, and the materials for building purposes
can be landed without difficulty. The keeper's dwelling is in a dilaxiidated condition^ and at too great distance from the tower to insure
proper attendance. It is a frame buildiug, ahd is now more than thirty
years old. It is too small for the nuinber of keepers at this station, and
should be enlarged. At present, it affords very poor protection to the
keepers from the inclemency of the weather in winter. A new dwelling
is an absolute necessity for this station. It is recommended that au
approxiriation of $50,000 be made to commence this work.
254. Thimble Shoal, dt the entrance to Hampton Boads, Yirginia.—Complaints having been made that the light from this structure is not strong
enough for navigation xmrxioses, a moderator lamp, with two wicks, has
been made, (which will give a much stronger light,) and will be sent to
the station duritig the year. Other minor rexiairs have been made.
256. Craney Island, on the west side of the channel, near the mouth
of Elizabeth Biver, Yirginia.—The house has been painted inside and
out, the fog-bell and apparatus moved from the north end of the house
to the center,of'the roof ou east side, and a new weight-box made. At
the same time, other minor repairs were made and the place -put in
good condition.;
262. Jordan's Point, James Biver, Yirginia.—The beach on the upper
side of ^ this point is rapidly washing away, and already endangers the
structure. To prevent further action of the waves the shore at this
point should be protected by loose stones. The fog-bell is now rung by
hand ; it should be rung by machinery. This will require a change in
the bell-tower, to do which and x^i'otect the site will require an approxiriation of $2,000, for which an estimate is submitted.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Butch-Gap Canal beacons and dwellings, James Biver, Yirginia.—-At
the date of the last annual report the plans and specifications for the
structures had been prepared and the site secured. Bids for construction were then requested by public advertising, and opened at the date^
specified. The x'>^^*'oposals received, however, were judged exorbitant,
and it was determined to build the structures by day's work instead of by
contract. Everything was in readiness to commence, when work was
ordered to be suspended to await the action of Cougress. Congress did
not, however, take the action anticipated, and the appropriation is still
available.
265. Yo7lc Spit, on easterly end of York Spit, entrance to York Biver,.
Chesapeake Bay, Yirginia.—The lens at this station is of the fifth order,
fix'^ed red. The shoal on which the structure stands is some distance,
however, froui the main channel, aud the light is not strong enough for
the xmrpose required. It is proposed to substitute a lens of the fourth
order, with the double-wick larap.
Too's Blarshes, south side of the entrance to York Biver, Yirginia.—Congress having made an apxiroxiriation of $15,000 for a light-house at thispoint, plans have been xirepared, site selected, and the necessary steps
will be taken to commeuce the work at an early day.
268. Stingray Point, south side of mouth of Bappahanock Biver, Yirginia.—Th\^ station has been supplied with a fog-bell machine to strike
at alternate intervals of five and thirty seconds. Extensive repairs
were made at the same time, and the station placed in good order.
Solomon's Lump, in Kedge's Strait, between Tangier Sound and Chesapealee Bay, Yirginia.-^An axiproxiriation of $15,000 was made at the last
session of Congress, for a light-house off' Solomon's Lump, to take the
placeof that at Fog Point. The light-house will be a square structure,
resting on five wrought-iron xiiles, in five feet water. Its construction
will be undertaken without unnecessary delay.
Thomas Point Shoal, north side, mouth of South Biver^ Chesapealee Bay,
Blaryland.—An approxiriation of $20,000 was made March 3,1873, for a
screw-xiile light-house, to be built on the shoal that makes off* from
Thomas Point, Maryland, to take the xilace of the old lighthouse on land,
which is iu need of extensive repairs, and which, on account of its distance from the track of vessels navigating the bay, is of comparatively
little use at any time, and perfectly useless in foggy aud thick weather,
as the light cannot be seen and the distance is too great for a fog-bell to
be heard. The location on the extreme point of the shoal is one of great
exposure, and will require a costly structure, and perhaps necessitate a
change in the plans. In consequence of the action of the House of Eepresentatives at the last session of Congress, in calling upon the Executive Departments to revise their estimates, work on this structure was
suspended and no additional axipropriation made. To enable the board
to resume operations and complete the structure, an additional appropriation is asked of $15,000.
283. Sandy Point, onthe west side of Chesapealee Bay, Blaryland.—Sandy
Point light is located on the main-land, from which place continuous
shoals make out into the bay, a distance of about one mile, and vessels
drawing morethan ten feet of water ca.nnot approach within that distance of'the lightrhouse. A fog-bell is established at this station, but,
on account of its distance from the channel, can seldom be heard. The
defects of its location are especially felt during stormy weather in winter. Nearly all the passenger-steamers running into the xiort of Baltimore from below, of which there are many, change their course at this^
point, and this becomes a hazardous undertaking to boats crowded

with xiassengers and running ou time, when neither the light can be
seen nor the fog-bell heard. A change in the location of the light to
the o.uter edge of the shoal^ and the establishment of an eflicient fogsignal are recommended, and an axipropriation of $40,000 asked for this
purpose.
284. Love Point Shoal, mouth of Chester Biver, Blaryland.—An additional appropriation of $5,000 by Congress for the further xirotection of
this lighthouse by rixirap stone, was made by act apxiroved June 23,
1874, the amount! xireviously apxiropriated having been insufficient to
thoroughly protect the light-house, which occupies a xiosition of great
exposure. It is expected to comxilete this work during the fall of this
year.
285. Craighill Channel range-beacons, mouth of Patapsco Biver, Maryland, upper and rea/r light,—At the date of the last annual report the
coffer-dam had been xmniped out, the piles driven and cut off', and the
granite piers put dowu. The cast-iron corner columns, manufactured in
Baltimore, were then set uxi and anchored to the xiiers, and the erection
of the frame-work was commenced. The appropriation was insufficient
to finish the work, however, owing to unforeseen difficulties encountered,
and expenses necessarily incurred thereby, in getting a secure foundation for the structure. To give commerce the benefit of this important
light, temxiorary arrangements were effected by which the light was
exhibited on the 20th of November. Temporary accommodations for the
keepers were xirepa^red oh shore by making use of the quarters used by
workmen while the structure was being built. At the last session of
Congress an additional apxiropriation was made for the comxiletion of
this structure, and the work will be at once taken in hand.
286. Craighill Channel range-beacons, mouth of Patapsco Biver, Blaryland, lovjcr or front light.—A portion of the foundation-xiiles of this
structure had been driven at the date of the last annual report. The
driving of these xiiles was comxileted on the 23d of August, 1873, and the
operation of cutting off' the heads to a level bearing. 24 feet below lowtide commenced. This was done in the following manner: A circular
saw, 3 feet in diameter, was made fast to a hollow wrought-iron shaft,
the latter being held in vertical position in a frame, in the guides of a
pile-driver. Eotary motion was given to it by means of a belt and xiulleys connecting with a steam-engine. The upper end of the shaft was
suspended by means of a ring-bolt, which allowed the shaft to revolve
freely. The saw was set at the proper depth, by means of marks on the
shaft aud fixed marks on some wharf-piles. After the saw was set in
motion the X)ile.was fed to it by drawing the xiile-driver toward it. This
plan of cutting off piles at this depth below water-line is objectionable,
in exposed places like the site' of this light-house, as sufficient accuracy iu keeping them all on the same level is not attainable. It was
found in testing; them that there was some diff'erence in the heights of
the tops of the jiiles, in consequence of which they had to be leveled
by means of blocks of hard wood spiked on their heads where necessary.
This was done by a svibmarine diver. The piles were prepared to receive
the caisson on the 25th of October. While this work was going on at
the site of the light-house, the grillage forming the bottom of the caisson
was made at Havre de Grace, Maryland, and the first section of tubing
bolted to it. I t Avas launched on the l3th of September, and towed to
the site ou the 3d of October. Owing to the difficulty of managing it in
a gale of wind, and to the fact that in such a gale it came near parting
its moorings and going ashore, it was determined to remove it to a safer
Xilace, bolt on several more sections, and then take advantagp of calm
650
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
weather to tow it back and sink it quickly on the foundation-piles. It
was accordingly towed to Curtis's Creek, about ten miles distant, where
it had a good harbor, and where x^^enty of material could be obtained
for making concrete. Two more sections were then bolted on, the joints
calked, and 3 feet of concrete laid in and rammed in layers of 6 inches.
The caisson was then 30 feet high from the bottom of the flooring to the
top of the uppermost section of tubing, drew 15 feet water, and floated
in a xierfectly vertical xiosition. It was then, towed out to the site and
carefully moored over the foundation-piles. It only required 50 to 65
tous weight to place the caisson on the bottom, depending on the stage
ofthe water. About 100 tons additional, however, were deemed essential to secure it in xilace after it was there. Three more feet of concrete
would do this, but the work of making and ramming 3 feet of concrete
required too much time, with the limitecl space available. At the same
time,, if it was found (after the caisson reached the fouudation) that its
position was not exact, the load would have to be removed and the
caisson floated, to be sunk again in its proper place. As the removal of
concrete would have been a slow and tedious operation, it was determined to sink it by loading it with gravel, which could be done quickly,
and in case of necessity it could easily be removed again so that the caisson would float. Accordingly a box 12 feet square and about 22 feet high
was built in the center of the caisson for this purpose. This box would
hold about 160 tons. Everything being in readiness, on the 31st of October, and the day being calm, the loading of the caissou was comuienced
early in the morning, and at 9 a. m. it rested on the piles. Its position
was accurate, and consequently more gravel was added until the box
was filled. The work of laying concrete was then commenced outside
the box and carried up to near the top. The gravel was then taken out,
the box removed, and the space occupied by it filled in with concrete.
As soon as the caisson was on the fouudation the deposit of stone around
it was commenced and continued until the stone reached the surface of
the water at low-tide; 5,000 tons of broken stone were thus thrown in
around the caisson duriug the month of November. A temfiorary squareframe house was built on the tube and surmounted.by a fourth-order
lantern, in order to exhibit a light until the structure could be finished
as designed. An appropriation has since been made by Congress to
comxilete the work, and the temporary frame will be removed and its
place supxilied by a structure of iron resting on the caisson.
. 287. Seven-Foot Knoll, mouth of Patapsco Biver, Blaryland.—Ou the
establishment of the Craighill Channel beacous, the light at Seven-Foot
Knoll was changed to fixed red.
288, 289. North Point range-lights, north side, of entrance to Patapsco
Biver, Blaryland.—^The^e lights were discontinued (1873) when the Craighill Chauuel range had beeu established and mariners had become
accustomed to them, as their use was no longer necessary. The lens,
supplies, &c., were renioved and sent to the general depot. The old
towers on North Point will be retained as day-marks.
Mathias Point, Yirginia, or Port Tobacco Flats, Blaryland., Potomac
Biver.—An appropriatiou of $40,000 for ''light-house and day-beacon at
or in the vicinity of Mathias Point or Port Tobacco Flats, in the discretion of the Light-House Board," was made by act of Congress approved
Juue 23, 1874, with the xiroviso that the axixiroxiriation for a light-house
at Shipping Point revert to the Treasury, it having been decided that
there is uo necessity for a light at the latter xilace. The character
and position of the iight-house and beacon provided for by the above

appropriation will be determined, and their construction commenced, at
the earliest practicable .day.
306. Currituck Beach, onthe coast of North Carolina, about midway between Cape Henry and Body's Island light-houses.—The site for thi^ lighthouse was purchased and jurisdiction over the same ceded by the State
of North Carolina to the United States in November, 1873. Borings to
test the character ofthe soil on which the new structure is to rest were
made by the engineer of the district in January. The uxiper stratum
was found to consist of fine sand of light color, about 3 feet in depth ;
below this the sand became darker and apxiarently more comxiact, but with
no other material change until at about 9 feet depth, where a stratum of
soft mud was found about 4 feet thick ; making the depth of its lower
surface 13 feet below the suri'ace of the ground. The test-pile that was
driven penetrated this mud nearly a foot with a blow fromsa 1,600-pound
hammer falling 18 feet. Below the mud the boring showed fiue sand all
the way to a dexith of 30 feet, no material change in its apxiearance
being observed. Plans fur a pile and grillage foundation w:ere accordingly made, the xiiles to be driven to a depth of from 22 to 24 feet, so as
to allow them to xienetrate several feet into the hard sand, and at distances apart of 2 feet 10 inches. They are then to be sawed off, at a
depth of 3J feet below the level of the water, then caxiped by 12 by 12
inch timbers, which will be treenailed to the tops of the piles. At right
angles to these xiieces another set of 12 by 12 inch timbers will belaid,
each set of timber being notched into the other 3 inches. The grillage
will thus be 18 inches thick. The spaces are to be filled in with concrete to the level of the top of the grillage ou which the masonry of the
tower will rest. The driving of the piles for the foundation was commenced on the 19th of June, a steam-pile-driver and appurtenances
having been first set. up. At the present date about half the ])\\e^
have been driven; Meanwhile the temxiorary quarters for the workmen, the carpenter's shop, blacksmith's shop, cement-shed, &c., have
been put uxi, the wharf connecting the shore with the landing in Currituck Sound (about 500 yards in length) built, and a railway extending
from its outer end to near the site of the tower laid. A pier has also been
constructed near Church's Island, distant about twelve miles, in 6 feet
water, to enable vessels to land materialfor the light-house. From this
pier the material is lightered to the wharf, whence it is conveyed to the
site by cars. The tower is to be 150 feet high, and show a light of the
first order, which can be seen at sea a distance of eighteen nautical
miles. The base of the tower is an octagonal pyramid, surmounted by
a conical shaft. The establishment of this light will supxily a want long
felt by the commerce ofthe country, as will be attested by the numbers
of wrecks that have struck this beach in the course of the last 22
years. The additional appropriation made by Congress June 23, 1874,
will insure a steady continuance of operations; but, owing to the difficulties in getting materials to. this station, and in securing a good foundation, an additional appropriation of $20,000 is asked.

310. Hatteras Inlet, Pamlico Sound, North Carolina.—After some delay,
the title to, and jurisdiction over, the site of this light-house were obtained from the State of North Carolina. Borings to determine the
character of the soil ou which the light-house will rest were made in
January, and it was found that the shoal was clean, hard sand to a considerable depth. Plans and specifications were xirexiared, and proposals
invited for the construction of the metal-work. The contract was
awarded in March, and the work completed and delivered iu May. The
constructionof the frame-work of the light-house Avas carried on and
comxileted at the-Lazaretto depot, Baltimore, Md. The light-house

material will be transported to the site in July, and it is expected to
comxilete the work and exhibit the light in the course of two or three
inonths ; the light will be of the fifth order.
319. Boanoke Blarshes on the east side of the narrow channel connecting
Pamlico and Croatan Sounds, North Carolina.—The remarks made in
the last aunual rexiort in regard to rebuilding this light-house are as
follows :
I t was built in 1860, on wliat was at that time a marsli, which was dry, or nearly sb,
at low water. The foundation consists of seven wooden piles covered with cast iron,
the latter, when the structure was built, being screwed into the ground several feet.
Since then the marsh has been washed away, so that there are now 10feet water at
the light-house. The xiiles being of wood, as soon as they were exposed by the washing away of the shoal below the depth covered by the cast-iron sleeve, were attacked
by worms. In order to save the light-house from falling three coppered piles were
driven at each angle of the structure, capped by heavy square • timber. A short time
ago a raft drifted against the light-house, and carried away three of the copper piles
above referred to. The house has settled some inches on the west side, and though the
damage sustained by the striking of the raft has been repaired, it is not considered in
a safe condition, nor can it be made so, except at great expense, for whicli an appropriation would be necessary. It will be cheaper in the end to build a new structure,
and an appropriation for this purpose is recommended. The estimated cost ot a lighthouse near the present site, but in about 6 feet water, is $15,000.
And the recommendation is renewed.

Names and positions of the day or unlighted beacons in the fifth district:
North Point, north side of entrance to Patapsco Eiver; two towers
colored white, Maryland.
Smith's Point, south side of the mouth of Potomac Eiver, old tower
colored white, Yirginia.
Bodkin Point, south side of the month of Patapsco Eiver; old tower

these structures was suspeuded. ' Congress having failed to take further action in the matter, the apxiropriation continues available and
work on the beacons will be resumed.
BUOYS.
Nineteen new buoys have been xilaced. During the year there haA^e
been carried away by ice and the sea, or run down by vessels, twentyone iron and thirty-three spar buoys; of these five iron buoys and one
sxiar haA^e been recovered, leaving a loss of sixteen iron and thirty-two
spar buoys. All the buoys in the district have been examined and exchanged once or twice, aud are xii'operly placed in good condition. It
should be further added in regard to the fifth district that there is a A^ery
large uumber of buoys to be cared for, and in the northern parts of the district there is always much complaint when, they are shifted by the ice,
inconsequence of the delay in replacing them, which cannot be prevented so loug as the Light-House Establishment has but one steam-tender for the purpose. It is therefore recommended that an apxiropriation of $50,000 be made at the next session of Congress for a new
steam-tender for buoy-service in this district.
DEPOTS.
Lazaretto Point, Patapsco Biver, Maryland.—At this depot a uumber
of bnoys, sinkers, &c., are kept for use as reliefs, and to supxily losses
in the channels leading to Baltimore, and the upper part of the Chesaxieake and tributaries. The recommendation in the following extract
from the last annual report is renewed :
The wharf at this depot is in need of considerable repairs, which should be made
without unnecessary delay. It is too sraall for the purpose, and should be extended
so that a supply of coal can be kept there. The depot is much in need of a blacksmith's shop, which should be separate from the store-house, and in which small forging could be executed. The estimated cost of repairs to the wharf, and building a
blacksmith's shop, is |4,000, for which an appropriation is asked.
Portsmouth, Elizaheth Biver, Yirginia.—At this depot are kept the
principal suxiply of spare buoys and appurtenances, coal for the use of
steam-tenders and for lighthouse stations; also suxiplies to meet cases
of emergency. Most of the sxiar-buoys used in the district are made
here. This depot is in good condition excepting the wharf, which requires extensive repairs.
Washington, Pamlico Biver,. North Carolina, and their tributaries.—The
wharf requires filling in and grading between the wharf-logs and the
lot, and several fender-piles in front to make it secure and prevent the
tenders from overriding it during freshets. Belaying-posts are also reqiwed to be placed on the wharf
SIXTH DISTEICT.

The numbers preceding the names of the stations correspond with
those given in the "List of light-honses, lighted beacons, and floating
lights of the Atlantic, Gulf, aud Pacific coasts of the United States,"
published January 1, 1874.
. Campbell's Island, Cape Fear Biver, North Carolina.—The following remark and recomniendation contained in the last aunual report are
repeated:
The re-establishment of this light, which was extinguished duriug the war, would
render the navigation of this river at night comparatively safe. It is one of the most
difficult places to pass at night that can be found on tlie river below Wilmington.
The channel is narrow, the river wide; the shoals from the east and west banks
approaching close to each other at the point where the course is changed. The establishment of a screw-pile light-house at tliis point is practically the re-establishment of the
light at Campbell's Island, and it is deemed of more importance at the present time
than any other light on the Cape Fear River. Nothing remains of the old light-house.
An appropriation of $15,000 is therefore asked for a light-house at or near Campbell's
Island.
327. Oak Island beacons, at the main entrance to Cape Fear Biver, North
Carolina.—An appropriation of $4,000 was rnade at the last session of
Congress for building tAvo new^ frame beacons to take the xilace of the
Xiresent ones, and to secure better range. The work Avill be commenced
at an early day.
330. Cape Bomain, on Baccoon Key, South Carolina.—Eecent measurements made show the deviation of the tower from the perpendicular to
be 27^ inches, the points measured being from the base to the main
gallery. The deviation found by similar measurements in Jnly, 1873,
Avas 23J inches, showing an increased deflection of 3 | inches in twelve
months. This matter will be examined by the committee on engineerHJg.
. Charleston main light, on the south end of Blorris Island, South Carolina.—A site for this light-house was selected at a xioint 1,700 feet north,
60O east, from the present rear beacon of thePumpkin-HillChannel range.
This location will, by alignment of the front beacon, enable a range to
be made through the Northwest or Old Ship Channel, which the Coast
Siir\"ey charts show to have the deepest water. A wharf for landing
material, store-house, and quarters for workmen have been erected and
a portable railway laid from the landing to the site to transport material
of construction. Careful examinations were made early in the year by
means of borings with an artesian-well apparatus, and by driving testpiles to determine the character of the soil on which the light-house will
rest. It was found that to a dexith of 5 feet there was sand, from 5 to
16 feet very soft black mnd, from 16 to 28 feet various strata of shells,
sand, and clay, from 28 to 49 feet soft clay, from 49 to bQ feet coarse
sand. As the tower will necessarily be a heavy one it was decided to
form a pile and grillage foundation. The piles to be driven 3 feet apart
from center to center, then cut off below the level of the water. On
toxi of the piles a grillage composed of two thicknesses of 12-inch square
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
657
timbers, to be laid at right angles to each other. The space between the
grillage timbers, and for three feet beloAv, to be filled in with concrete
and to extend 2 feet outside the piles. The two outer rows of xiiles to
be driven 50 feet, the interior ones to a depth of from 25 to 35 feet if
sufflcient bearing-capacity is found. The base of the tower below the
surface of the ground Avill be concrete or rubble masonry, on which will
rest the brick shaft 150 feet iu height. The work of driving the foundation-piles has necessarily been a slow operation, owing to the depth to
which they are driven. A pile-driver, 60 feet in height, had to be built
and a good hoisting-engine provided; about one-half of the foundationpiles have been driven and the others xiiH'chased. A lot of buildingsand and part of the material for concrete have been xmrchased and stored
atthe^site. A contract was made after due public notice calling for
bids for the metal-work used in the: construction of the tower, and is
now nearly ready for delivery. The lens, Avb ich is to be o f t h e first
order, showing a flashing light, has been purchased. On account of the
iinhealthiiiess of the localit}^, work caiinot be carried on during the summer-months. An additional appropriatiou of $30,000 is asked for:this
work.
'
——. Castle Pickney, on Castle Pickney, Charleston Harbor, South Carolina,
—This is a wood framed pyramidal beacon, 36 feet high to the focal xilane, was built in 1866, and last repaired in 1872. It is uow in a dilapidated
state and in-need of extensive repairs, the wood-work being mostly rotten. It will be better to rebuild the structure entire, which can be done
for $2,000, and an appropriation of this amouut is asked.
341. Hunting Island light, on the north end of Hunting Island, South
Carolina.—Operations were commenced in the spring, and Avere continued until the end of June, when, on account of unhealthiness of the
climate, the work was suspeuded. The tower is of iron, lined w^itll brick,
resting upon a concrete foundation 8 feet in thickness. The tower section of the iron is secured to the foundation by 36 anchor-bolts built
into the concrete. The concrete foundation has been laid, and the three
lower sections of the iron-work have been set up. The material for
thirteen sections of the tower have been received at the station. Operations'will be resumed about the 1st of November. The north point of
the island is still washing away under the abrasive action of the sea.
About 400 feet, of the point pf the island, and 25 feet of the easterly side
opposite the light-house site, has disappeared within a year. It is proposed to build two or three brush or log jettees on the beach opposite
the site, which it is thought will arrest the abrasive action of the sea.
The station is so unhealthy that work can be carried on only about six
months,in the year. An appropriation of $10,000 is asked to build a
keeper's dwelling for this station.
e
>
3^:3. Baufuskie Island range-beacons, on the northeast point of Baufuskie Island, South Carolina.—These beacons, which at the last report were
uearly completed, have beeu finished. The lights were first-exhibited
October 1, 1873. The lens of the rear beacon is dioptric, of the fifth
order of Fresnel, and illuminates an arc of 270^ of the horizon. The
front beacon has a steamer lens, illumi u ating an arc of 90^. The beacons
are 750 yards apart. They mark the channel into Calibogue Sound
from Tybee Eoads, Georgia.
345. Tybee entrance to Savannah Biver, Georgia.—The following statement and recommendations for an appropriation of $50,000 for the commencement of a new tower at this station made in two preceding annual
reports are renewed. As then stated, '^ the tower is not in a safe condition, owing to the damage it sustained in* the cyclone of 1871. This

tower is A^ery old, having been built iu 1793. It is a frustum of an
octagonal pyramid built of Savannah brick. Two of its faces show dangerous cracks. As stated in previous rexiort, its great age and neglect
duriug the war render it impracticable to properly repair it. An appropriation of $50,000 is therefore asked to commence the building of a
new structure. This can be done Avithout delay on Government land^
near the site of the present tower."
. Tybee Knoll, Savannah Biver, Georgia.—The work of constructing a
screw-xiile light-house to take the place of the xu'esent light-vessel on
the knoll has been suspended to await completion of a chauuel now
being dredged out iu this vicinity, under the direction of the War Department. The light-vessel Avill therefore be retained ibr the xiresent.
350. Oyster-Beds beacon, on the oyster-beds in Savannah Biver, Georgia,
to mark the south channel.—The beacon is a substantial brick structurCy
resting on a fouudation of xiiles. The keeper's dwelling, built in 1855^
is a small one-story frame structure resting on piles. The building and
piles are. so thoroughly rotten that further repairs Avould be a waste of
money. An appropriation of $10,000 is therefore recommended to rebuild the structure.
354. Sapelo beacon, on the soutli end of Sapelo Island, Georgia.—Aframe
beacon, old and infected with dry-rot. It has been frequently repaired,
and the sills have been once renewed. It would be cheaper to rebuild
it. An.appropriation is recommended of $2,500 for this purpose.
357. Saint Simons, on the south end of Saint Simon's IsUmd, entrance to
Saint Simon's Sound, Georgia.—This station is veiy unhealthy, and it is
attributed to the stagnant water in several ponds in the vicinity which
have uo outlet. It is X)ioposed to drain these xionds during the coming
winter, the only time the W'ork can be doue.
361. Amelia Island main light, entrance to Fernandina Harbor,
Florida.—The froht beacon has been moved about 150 feet to the south,
to conform to the changes of the channel. The beacon is old and
decayed, and has been injured by several removals. An axixiropriation
of $1,200 is recommended for the re-establishment of the beacon and
tramway. An eartheu causeway has been built (to rexilace the worn-out
Xilank-Avalk) between the lights.
365. Saint Augustine, Florida, (new.)—The tower has been essentially
completed and the lens axixiaratus set up. The works yet remaining to
be doue are the fittings of the oil and work rooms, casing the windows
and doors, giving the outside of the tower another coat of color, and
grading and paving around the tower. The light will be exhibited for
the benefit of navigation on or about Noveniber 1. Congress at thelast
session having appropriated $20,000 for building jettees to protect site
of light-house and erect a keeper's dwelling, the work will be commenced
without delay'.
. Mosquito Inlet, east coastof Florida.—The following,statement
in the last two annual reports in regard to the establishment of a light
at this xilace is renewed:
In comraon with all the inlets and harbors on the east coast of X^lorida, this b a r
shifts constantly, so that no soundings can be relied upon. The general effect of westerly winds is to reduce the depth of water, and that of the northeasterly gales to increase. The wrecks lyiug on or near the bar give a X)ractical illustration of the
nncertaiuty of the channel. For all practical purposes of construction as a light-bouse^
it raay, however, be sa.fely assumed that the material can be delivered AA^ithout any
serious difiiiculty or delay, although additional expense would be incurred by reason of
the remoteness of the station and the small-sized vessels that wonld be required for
transporting material. As regards the necessity of a light at this point, it is manifest
that the commerce passing through the inlet wonld not justify an expenditure by the
United States for a light for merely local purposes, or at least there are other points.
LIGHT-HOUSE
BOARD.
659
that may justly take precedence of it. But a light-house between Saint Augustine
and Cape Canaveral lights is necessary as one of a system of coast lights, and Mosquito Inlet is undoubtedly the proper site; as, in the first place, the light there would
answer the double purpose of a harbor and coast guide, and, in the second place, for a
landing-place both for the original construction and subsequent supply aud inspection,
which could be made with more safety and certainty there than at any other point
along the open sea-beach. A tower, 150 feet high, lighted by a first-order Fresnel lens,
is recommended for this position, and for the commencement of its construction an
estimate of $60,000 is submitted. The distance from Saint Augustine to Cape Canaveral
is ninety-five miles, of which there is an unlighted space of sixty miles.

. Fowey Bocks, Florida Beef, east coast of Florida.—An axipropriation
of $100,000 was made during the last session of Congress for commencing the erection of a light-house upon Fowey Eocks, near the extreme
northeastern point of the Florida Eeef. This is by far the most important xioint of this dangerous line of reefs now remaining unlighted.
Plans will be xirepared and the work commenced as soon as practicable.
Upon the comxiletion of this light that at Cape Florida will be discontinued. Au appropriation of $100,000 is respectfully asked for continuing this work.
^
.
369. Carysfort Beef, on the reef of that name, sea-coast of Florida.—
This iron structure has suffered considerably from oxidation. Extensive repairs have become necessary. The tension-braces of the towersection are very much eaten by rust, and will have to be renewed.
370. Alligator Beef, sea-coast of Florida.—At the date of the last annual report, the work on this important structure had been carried up
to the base of the lantern. The work was completed, and the light exhibited, NoA^ember 25, 1873.
371. Sombrero Key, near Coffin's Patches, and Sombrero Key, Florida
Beef.—A new hoisting-axiparatus for a boat has beeu made for this station. The iron is badly rusted, the tower tension-rods need replacing,
and the station considerable rexiairs.
Loo Key, Florida Beef.—The navigation of this portion of the Gulf is
ahvays dangerous, particularly to A^essels bound to the southward and
westward, because of the strong aud A^ariable current near the reef,
causing many Avrecks and much loss of property. A light on or in
the Adcinity of Loo Key, illuminating the now unlighted space between
Sombrero and Sand Key lights, would be most useful to mariners,
and is strongly recommended. For this purpose, an appropriation of
$100,000 is respectfully asked.
372. Sand Key, seacoast of Florida.—ReiVMrs for this station, which
Avere greatly needed, w^ere commenced last March, but had to be suspended for Avant of funds. An apxiropriation of $20,000 having been
made, at the last session of Congress, for a new iron stair-tower and
keeper's dwelling, the work will be taken in hand at an early day.
374. Northwest Passage, entrance to Key West Harbor,—An iron screwpile light-house. The metal above water has been carefully scaled and
Xiainted throughout; the lower braces need renewing, and other rexiairs
of an extensive nature are required.
'662
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
375. Bry Tortugas, Loggerhead Key, sea-coast of Florida.—The buildings and tower of this station, which were seriously damaged in the hurricane of October j 1873, haA^e been temporarily repaired. The tower is
considered to be^in a dangerous condition and should be rebuilt. I t will
probably cost $150,000. An axipropriation of $100,000 is asked to commence the work.
376. Tortugas Harbor, Garden Key, sea-coast of Florida.—Portions of
the dvvelling and outbuildings were unroofed and otherwise injured in
the hurricane of October, 1873. These have been repaired to render
them habitable. , A new lantern has been sent to this station from the
general depot; but as no funds Avere available for xilacing it, it was
stored in a convenient and secure location in Fort Jeif'erson. It will be
placed in position during the winter. Authority has been obtained for
transferring the light to an adjacent stair-toAver of the fort in order that
the old, inconvenient, and unsightly structure may be renioved from the
parade. It is recommended that an axiproxiriation of $5,000 be made
for removing the light.
379. Saint Mark's, entrance to Saint Blark's Biver, Florida.—This station
was visited by a hurricane of unusual scA^erity on the 18th and 19tli of
September, 1873, during which the water rose so high above the general
IcA^el of the sea as to inundate the interior of the dwelling, causing the
keepers, together with scA^eral women and children, to seek refuge in the.
t-ower. The damage to the windows, doors, and interior of the dwelling was repaired, but expensive repairs are still needed to the concrete
. filling around the foundation of the tovrer to x^i'otect it from the actiou
of the water.
380. Bog Island, Saint George Sound, Florida.—Owing to the washing
away of the south beach, endangering the safety of the old brick tower
built in 1838, the lantern and lens were removed in the latter part of
1872, and placed oh the keexier's dwelling, a screw-xiile structure, which
stood farther inland. This was done to x^i'event, if possible, the extinguishment of the light until funds should be available for the construction of a light-house in a more protected xiosition. It, however, failed,
as the station was visited on the 18th and 19th of September, 1873, by a
hurricane, during which the old brick tower and the keeper's dwelling
were completely destroyed. An appropriation of $20,000 having been
made at the last session of Congress for re-establishing this station, the
work will be taken in hand at an early day. At this station, the keepers
lost their personal property at the time of the destruction of the statiou
by hurricane.of September, 1873. It is recommended that an apxiropriation of $970.50 be appropriated fdr their reimbursement.
. Saint Andrew's Bay.—A former axipropriation of $22,000 for a
light-house at this place still remains available. It is not, however,
considered of so great importance as some other works in the district,
and its progress is therefore likely to be further delayed.
383. Pensacola Harbor.—This station was repaired during the year and
left in good condition; but, owing to damages by lightning on the 6th of
July, 1874, further repairs are necessary, which will be made.
REPAIRS.
Eepairs of more or less imxiortance have been made during the year
at each of the following-named stations :
373. Key West, southern coast of Florida.^
318, Cedar Keys, on Sea-Horse Key, Florida.
381. Cape Saint George, on the'cape of that name. Gulf coast of Florida.
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
663
During the coming year considerable repairs will be required at certain iron-pile light-houses on the Florida coast, made necessary by the
deterioration of the iron, which is A^ery rapid in this climate. Some of
the braces and ties-of the most important light-house structures on this
coast must be renewed at an early day. The expense attending this
work is much greater than ordinary repairs, and it is deemed expedient
that a sxiecial approxiriation for such work be made. It is therefore
recommended that au appropriation of $25,000 be made to be applied
exclusiA^ely to the iron light-houses on the Florida coast, which is included in the estimates.
LIGHT-SHIPS.
There are no light-shixis in the seventh district.
FOG-SIGNALS OPERATED BY STEAM OR HOT-AIR ENGINES.
There are no fog-signals operated by steam or hot-air engines in this
district.
DAY OR UNLIGHTED BEACONS.
The line of iron day-beacons on the shoal er portion of the great Florida Eeefs, and marking out its general outline along the Gulf, is in two
series, one on points heretofore occupied, and where beacons have been
renewed, and a second in new positions. The first series is distinguished
by letters, from A to P, and the second by numbers, from 1 to 8. No
work has beeu done npon these beacons during the past year. Beacon
1, on Bebecca Shoal, has been carried away by the sea, and will be rexilaced at an early day. To replace this beacon, put up others which are
needed, and make necessary repairs to those now in position, an axiproxiriation of $10,000 is resxiectfully asked.
BUOYS.
The buoyage of this district is in good condition,
TENDERS.
The Arbutus, a small steamer used iu construction and repairs, has
been for .some months in such condition that it has beeu difficult to keep
her afloat, as she is not worth repairing. It is extremely.desirable that
a^nother steamer suitable for the service, which is of no easy kind in
this district, should be obtained. In Adew ofthe fact t h a t t h e structure
to be built on Fowey Eocks, and other w^ork in the district, will require
the constant service of a steamer, an appropriation of $50,000 for one is
•asked.
DEPOTS.
There are in this district three buoy and coal depots: one ^t Key
West, one at Egmont Key, and one at Pensacola, They are small and of
little consequence, but will serve the purpose for a time.

LIGHT-HOUSES AND LIGHTED BEACONS.
385. Sand Island, at entrance to Biobile Bay, Alabama.—On the 31st
day of July, 1873, the tower Avas built up to a height of 113 feet above
the grade line ; during the months of August and September following,
the brick-work of.the tower, oil and work room Avas completed, the ironwork of the parapet and lantern put in place, and the entire structure
finished. The light Avas exhibited from this tower for the first time on
the evening of September 1, 1873. The focal xilane is 132 feet aboA^e
the sea-level. A substantial double two-story wooden dwelling was
built for the accommodation of the keepers. All work at this station
Avais completed during the month of Sexitember, 1873.
389. Horn Island Pass, Blississippi Sound, Blississippi.—The iron-work .
of the foundation and lantern of this light-house was prepared and deliA^ered on boaricl a vessel during the month of October, 1873. On its
arrival at Fort Morgan, Ala., it was stored until the framing of the
Avood-work of the dwelling Avas completed. In the month of January,
1874, the entire structure Avas sent to the station in the light-house
tender Pharos, and preparations were immediately made for putting
down the foundatibn-xiiles. The breaking of all the foundation-screws
caused considerable delay. They were replaced by an entirely new set.
While awaiting the casting of the new screws, the working-party were
emploj^ed in making repairs in another portion of the district. In the
latter part of March, operations AA^ere resumed, and the fiYe foundationpiles at last successfully planted. The Avork was then vigorously prose. cuted, and the building completely finished in the early part of the
month of June, 1874. The light was exhibited for the first time on the
evening of the last day of the sanie month. The structure consists of
five iron scrcAv-xiiles, upon Avhich is xilaced a square wooden dwelling,
surmounted by a lantern with iron parapet. The lens-apparatus is of
the fourth order, showing a fixed white light, varied by red flashes.
398. Bigolets,- {Pleasanton's Island,) Louisiana.—On the 25th of May,,
1874, the fourth-order light at this station was discontinued, it being no
longer required for purposes of navigation.
401. Pointe aux Herbes, Lalce Pondiartrain, Louisiana.—Considerable
delay has been exxierienced in procuring the land necessary for the site
of this light-house. This has at last been accomplished. Plans have
been prepared, and the work will be undertaken at an early daA\

" 405. Tchefuncti Biver, Lake Ponchartrain, Louisiana.—The breakwater
in front of the tower and dwelling at this station having been considerably damaged during a late gale, and being constructed in such a manner and of such slight material as to afford no xirotection toxhe lighthouse and buildings during the prevalence of strong southerly and easterly winds, requires to be rebuilt; and an appropriation of $3,500 is
respectfully recommended for this purxiose.
408. Pass a I'Outre, blississippi Biver, Louisiana.—Eepairs were
made to the tower, keeper's dwelling, and fog-signal house, but were not
fully completed, owing to Avant of funds available for such worko The
old lauding, built some years ago at this station, being in a very dilapidated condition, and having recently fallen iuto the river from the washing away ofthe ground around the supporting piles, needs rebuilding.
I t is not deemed advisable to make repairs to the old wharf, as the timbers of Avhich it is composed are i^otten. An appropriation of $2,500 is
recommended for the purpose of buildiug a new substantial landing,
and walk to .the tower, for the safe and convenient landing of supxilies
for the station, coal for the supxily of the steani fog-signal, and to make
the required repairs to the light-house and buildings connected thercAvith.
410. Head of the Passes, Mississippi Biver, Louisiana.—In the early part
of 1872, this,iight-house was removed from its original foundation to a^
point 200 feet farther inland, to avoid its destruction by the washing
away of the riA^er-bauk; the breakwater which formerly protected the
site being carried away during a violent gale in October, 1872. As the
river is still encroaching on the light-house site to such an extent t h a t
it will be necessary to shortly build some protective works, or again remove the ligiit, an appropriation of $3,500 is respectfully recommended
for the purpose of building a breakwater.
• 411. Southioest Pass, Mississippi Biver, Louisiana.—The light from the
new first-order iron tower was exhibited for the first time on the morning of July 1, 1873; the entire Avork on the structure being completed
during the,same month. The tower is an iron frame-Avork, in the form
of a truncated pyramid, liaA^ing the keeper's dwelling in the lower xiart
and an inclosed stairway from the dw^elling to the lantern. The focal
plane is 128 feet above the sea-level.
412. Barrataria Bay, Louisiana.—This station not having been repaired for some years, the dwelling-house was in a dilapidated condition. The entire roof of the dAvelling-house Avas renewed, a new^
kitchen was built, and the station put in order.
413. Timbalier, entrance to Timbalier Bay, Louisiana.—The lumber and.
material required for the construction of the platform, to aid in the
work of erecting thiS) lighthouse, Avas sent to the station early in themonth of July, 1873, and work was immediately commenced. The platform Avas not fully completed until the month of December, 1873; operations being considerably delayed by the loss of portions of the xiiles and
heavy timbers, which Avere Avashed away during the frequent occurrences
of high water. On the comxiletion of the platform and quarters for the
working-party the light-house tender Magnolia Avas sent to station from
Southwest Pass Avith iron-work of the foundation and first series ofthe
light-house. Oh her arriA^al, xirexiarations were made for putting doAvn
the foundation-piles; this was successfully done during the month of
January, 1874, and the erection of the light-house was rapidly carried
on until the 19th day of February, at which date the main column and
braces of the second series had been placed in position. The funds forthe further xirosecution of the work being exhausted, work was sus

pended on the above date, aud the workingxiarty discharged, a watchman being left at the station to take care of the public xiroperty. An additional appropriation of $15,000 for the completion of the light-house
being made available by act of June 23, 1874, a working-party will be
organized and dispatched to the station to resume operations. It is proposed to push the work forward to completion as rapidly as possible.
414. Ship Shoal, Gulf of Blexico, off the coast of Louisiana.—Information
was received during the month of Deceniber, 1873, that tbe concrete and
ballast put around the foundation of this light-house some five years
ago was being displaced by the action of water. An examinatiou was
made of the site, and from the soundings taken underneath and outside
the foundation it was .found that a large portion of the concrete and ballast-stones ha\^e been moved from the original bed, and carried to a considerable distance Avest of the light-house. The water in that direction
has shoaled, and has deepened immediately under and around the structure. A deexi gnlly seems to be cutting into the shoal toward the
fouudation from the northeast. The tower was found to lean considerably iu a northeast direction; but the inclination has not increased much,
if any, during the last five years. It is sufiicient, however, to cause
irregularities in xiroper and accurate working of the machinery of the
lens-apparatus, lessening somewhat the efficiency of this' important
light. The urgency of the case required immediate measures, the cost
of which had to be paid from the general axipropriation for repairs and
incidental exxienses of light-houses, &c. As this appropriation is not
sufficiently great to meet such large drafts upon it without detriment to
the interests of other stations, the sum of $14,000, estimated as the cost
of these remedial measures, should be returned to the general apxiropriation, aud au appropriation is asked for this purpose, to he made available at once.
415. Southioest Beef, entrance to Atchafalaya Bay, Louisiana.—An appropriation of $5,000 having been made to complete the improvements at this
station, which consist of the establishment of steam fog-signal and the
raising of the tower from its present foundation, the AVork will be
commenced at once.
416. Trinity Shoal, Gulf of Blexico, off' the coast of Louisiana.—The construction of the working-platform 100 feet square, on wooden piles, in 14
feet of Avater, to aid in the erection of the second-order iron screw-xiile structure to mark this dangerous shoal, was commenced in the month of June,
1873, and finished in the month of October following, the work being
seriously retarded by the unfavorable Aveather prevailing during the
oontinuance of oxierations. The trestles used for driving the platformpiles were washed away at the very commencement of the work, causing
the almost total destruction of the pile-driver frame and the loss of a
portion of the tools used by the workmen. The A^essels stationed at
the works for accommodation of the working-party were compelled on
several occasions to put to sea for safety. Ou the completion of the
platform and the arrival at the work ofthe light-house tenders Pharos
and Guthrie, iu the nionth of NoA^ember, with the iron-work of the foundation aud first series, xireparations were made for putting down the
foundation-piles. Before this could be accomplished, the statiou was
visited by a severe storm,, which commenced on the 15th of November,
causing a A^ery heavy sea. During the night of the 16th, the tender
Guthrie, having struck heavily on the shoal, put to sea, her master
hoping to keep her clear with the xmmps, but without success. Filling
rapidly, she was headed for the shoal, on which she sunk in 11 feet water,
becoming a total, wreck, her crew being picked up by light-house tender
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
667
Pharos. The wind moderated in the afternoon of the 17th, but commenced blowing hard again during the night, shifting to northwest and
north-northwest, and again making a heavy sea which broke on nearly
every part of the shoal; this continued during the 18th. At about 1.30
p. m. of that day, when the storm was at its height, the waves nearly
reaching the top of the xilatform, which was about 15 feet above mean
low water, the entire xilatform was swept away, carrying with it.all the
iron-work of the structure on it at the time, the quarters ofthe working
party, and the entire working-force, consisting of some sixteen persons.. Through the exertions of the master of the Pharos, all the persons
on the platform, at the time of the disaster, were rescued, the superintendent of the Avorks and the master of the lost schooner Guthrie being carried out to sea. They were iu the water some three hours, clinging to the floating timber, before they were picked up, in an almost exhausted condition. This misfortune Avas a most discouraging one, as in
one more w^eek of fair weather all the iron foundation-piles wonld have
been planted and braced. On the Guthrie, besides the complete outfit,
a large amount of material belonging to the structure was lost. On the
Xilatform, together with a complete outfit of blocks, ropes, tackles, and
tools, were nine wrought-iron foundation-piles, eight chord-links, fiA^e
Xieriphery-sockets, one center-socket, nine foundation-screws, one xiileinserting apparatus, one pile-driA^er, two pile-hammers, and one fourthorder lens-apparatus. Immediately on the receixit of the news of the.
above disaster, 'a steam cotton-lighter was chartered and sent to the
shoal, to recoA^er as much as xiossible of the iron-work, &c. The vessel
arrived there on the 29th of November, and commenced operations. She
continued on this work until the 14th of December, being forced by the
' weather on four different occasions to suspend work and seek a harbor
on the Louisiana coast. She succeeded, however, in recovering nine
wrought-iron foundation-piles, eight chord-links,fiA'cperiphery-sockets,
one icenter-socket, and one sleeve for pile-inserting apxiaratus. No endeaA^ors were made to raise the schooner Guthrie, as she Avas found to
have seltled in the sand, with about 18 feet water on her decks, and so
torn to pieces that any attempts to raise her Avould have proved useless.
From the examinatioii made by the officer iu charge of the ox)erations of
the steamer Allison, it was found that the water over the site on which the
platform stood had deepened from 14 feet, the original depth when the
platform was commenced, July 5, 1873, to 18 and 24 feet on the 30th of
NoA^ember following, and that the piles of the platform broke off at and
below the surface of the shoal, being unable to withstand the accumulated force of the waves advancing from the coast some twenty-five miles
distant. Before asking further appropriations for this work, it is proxiosed
to further consider the plans and the practicability of constructing and
maintaining a light-house at this point.
„ A supplementary estimate of $2,000 was made last year for the re-imbursement of the working-party for personal property that was lost by
! them at the time of the loss of the station and the wreck of the A^essel.
This appropriation is again recommended.
417. Calcasieu, entrance to Biver and Lake Calcasieu, Louisiana.—The apxiroxiriation mad.e a\^ailable b^" act of March 3, 1871, for the erection of
this light-house, having reverted to the Treasury, the iron-work of the
structure has, since its delivery, beeu stored at the depot at the Head of
the Passes, w^here it now is. A new appropriation of $14,000, for the
purchase ofthe land for a site aud the erection of thelight-house, was made
available by act of Juue 23,1874. Proceedings have been instituted by
the United States district attorney, district of Louisiana, for the pur

pose of condemnation, under the laws of the State, of the lands selected
and required for light-house purposes. As soon as the title to the land
is acquired, the erection of this light will be commenced.
424. Blatagorda, entrance to Matagorda Bay, Texas.—The erection of
the iron tower mentioned as in xirogress at the date of the last annual
report was comxileted during the month of Sexitember, 1873, and the
new light w^as exhibited for the first time on the evening of the first day
of the same month. The light is of the third order, flashing every ninety
seconds; the focal xilane is at an elevation of 91 feet above sea-level. A
wooden dwelling for the keepers was erected near the light-house.
429. Brazos Island beacon, entrance to Brazos, Santiago, Texas.—The
recommendations made iu the annual reports for the years 1872 and
1873 for an appropriatiou of $25,000 for rebuilding this light-house are
resxiectfully renewed. The following remarks, made in the last annual
report, are herewith repeated :
The present tower is one of several hastily built to serve teraporary purposes in
place of those destroyed during the war. Those at Sand Island, Alabama, Bolivar
Point, and Matagorda, Texas, have been replaced by suitable structures, and it is now
desirable that this, the last of the kind, should give way to a more durable building.
I t has already been used a much longer tirae than was anticipated when it was erected,
and, in view of its condition, (the foundation of the tower being decayed and the building not worth the cost of repairing,) something should be speedily done to render the
.light more surely pernianent.

LIGHT-HOUSES AND LIGHTED BEACONS.
498. Cross-over Island, Saint Lawr ence Biver, New York,,—Both the tower
and the dwelling are in a very dilapidated condition. The appropriation asked for last year not having been granted, extensive repairs will
be needed to make premises serviceable for the ensuing year. I t will
be au economy to rebuild the structure at this station, and an apxiropriation of $14,000 is required for this purpose.
499. Sister Island, Saint Lawrence Biver, New York.—To protect the
lower islaud from the action of the water, a retaining wall is needed
along the northwest side of the dwelling and tower, for w^hich an axiproxiriation of $700 is asked.
501. Bock Island, Saint Lawrence Biver, Neio York.—The recommendation contained in last year's report is renewed :
The tower and dwelling are in a similar condition to that of Cross-over Island. A
new tower is imperatis^ely necessary. The dwelling niight be repaired, but it is not
considered economicaliu the end to do so, as it would only be postponing the bnilding
of a new one a few years, and it would xirobably cost less to build tower and dwelling
together now.

LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
673
The numbers preceding the names of stations correspond with the
'' Light-house list of the northern and northwestern lakes," issued January 1, 1874.
LIGHT-HOUSES AND LIGHT-BEACONS.
557. Windmill Point, Blichigan, entrance to Lake Saint Clair.—Thi s station
was built in 1838, and refitted in 1867. It is a very important station, as
it is a guide for the whole commerce of the lakes, to Lake Saint Clair, and
the Detroit Eiver. An entirely new station is imperatively demanded ,
here. Both tower and house are old and in poor condition, and uot
worth repairing, and it is therefore again reconimended that this station
be rebuilt at a cost of $18,000.
559. Saint Clair Flats Beacon, Lake Saint Clair, Blichigan.—An approxiriation of $10,000 was made at the last session of Congress for rebuilding
this beacon and the crib Avhich surrounds it. This will be done as soon
as possible.
562. Fort Gratiot light station. Lake Huron.—An appropriation of
$10,01)0 was made at the last session of Congress, for building a new
keeper's dwelling at this place. Plans and estimates for the same will
be prepared as soon as possible, and it is hoped the house Avill be finnished this year.
. Light house between Fort Gratiot and Point aux Barques, Lalce Huron.—The recomniendation which has been made iu several annual reports to build a coast-light, to divide the long distance of seventy-five
miles, between Point aux Barques and Fort Gratiot, is respectfully renewed. This light-house Avould be of the coast-lights of the general system, and i t i s not intended to serve any local interest. No argument
seems to be necessary to show the necessity of this light, and an approtion of $40,000 is recommended for this purpose.
— — Port Austin, Saginaio Bay, Blichigan.—Thus far the Government
=
has not succeeded in obtaining the requisite sitefor this station, for which
an approxiriation is available. As soon as it is secured the work Avill
be prosecuted.
564. Saginaio Bay, at the head of Saginaio Bay and mouth of Saginaw
Biver, Blichigan.—The dwelling-house at this station is A^ery old. It
Avas originaiiy built of rubble masonry. It is dilapidated and not worth
rexiairing. A new dwelling is urgently demanded, the estimated cost of
Avhich is $8,000.
566. Tawas {Ottawa,) Lalce Huron, Blichigan.—The remarks contained
in the last annual report are herewith repeated:
This station was originally built on the end of Tawas Point, on the north shore of
Saginaw Bay, Michigan. Since that tirae the point has steadily made to the southward
and westward, and the extremity of it is now more'than a mile from the light. No extensive rexjairs or improveraents have been raade, as the necessity for removal of the light
has long been foreseen. It is intended to guide into the harbor of Tawas, which from its
situation, so near the mouth of the ranch-dreaded Saginaw Bay, is of great value aud
much resorted to for"refuge. The construction of a light on the extremity of the present x>oint, if possible, would be C[uite expensive, and it is an open question whether
some pther disposition should not be made to meet the requirements of navigation.
An estiraate of ^30,000 is subraitted for a light or lights to guide into Tawas Bay,
Michigan, leaving the proper arrangements for future discussion.
567. Au Sable, mouth of Au Sable Biver, Lake Huron, Blichigan.—This
Xiier-liead light was completed and lighted for the first time on the night
of the 20th'November, 1873.
573. Spectacle Beef, Lalce Huron, Michigan,—Operations on this important work were continued. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30^
1873, the cutj:ing and fitting of the stone at the harbor had been com43 F '

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Xileted to the sixteenth course, inclusive, and at the reef the sixth, SCA^enth, and greater part of the eighth courses w^ere set. At the- end of
July, of 1873, the tower had been carried up to the sixteenth course, inclusiA^e, and at the harbor the stones had been cut to include twelve
stones of the twenty-third course. At the end of August, 1873, the
tAventy-second course of stone had been set, four fifths of the iron-steps,
including doors at toxi and bottom, were in place, and at the harbor the
stone-cutting Avas completed and stone-cutters discharged. At the end
of Septeniber, 1873, all the stbne Avas set up to and including the main
deck, (course C,) and the interior brick-work was comxileted with the
excex)tion of the arches.between the beams of the three upper fioors.
At the end of October, 1873, when all the parties Avere called in, on
account of the unusually bad weather during the inonths of September
and October, the station Avas completed, Avith the excexition of placing
the chimney on the outside of the lantern, the stairway leading to the
watch-room, (which was found a little short,) painting the tower on the
inside, and setting up the lens. The working-parties could not be started,
on account of bad weather, until the 14th of May of this year. At the
end of that month everything was completed, and the light was exhibited for the first time ou the night of June 1, 1874.
578. Saint Helena, Lake Blichigan, Blichigan.—This station Avas finished
in August, and lighted for the first time on the night of September 20,
1873.
580. Skilligallee, Lalce Blidiigan, Blichigan.—Nothing has been done at
this station. The island Avas seriously damaged by a storm on December 4, 1873, two^thirds of it being reported as washed away. It needs
Xirotection, for which an approxiriation of $5,000 is required.
586. South Manitou, Lake Blidiigan, Blidiigan.—The toAver at this station is reported as but twenty feet from the water's edge and the shore
wearing away, having been washed off some sixty or seventy feet the
past year. Some protection should be afforded the site at once, for
Avhich an apiiropriation of $2,500 is asked.
588. Frankfort pier-head light, Lalce Biichigan, Blichigan.—This ligiit
was finished in August, and lighted for the first time on October 15,
1873.

/ 589. Blanistee, Lalce Blichigan, Michigan.—The lens Avas erected on
this tower to replace the temporary light in time for the opening of navigation in the spring.
591. Pere Blarquette pier-head light. Lake Blichigan, Blichigan.—No
work Avas done during the year. The last three annual reports urged
an approxiriation of $5,000 for a keeper's dwelling at this point. It
is much needed, and the recomniendation is renewed. The proposed
dredging of the channel this season to a width of 200 feet Avill take the
old house the keeper has been living in, and it is not worth moving.
No residence can be had within a half mile, and that on the oxiposite
side of the river from the light.
592. Pentwater pier-head light, Lalce Michigan, Blichigan.—The recommendation in the last annual report, that $5,000 be appropriated for
the erection of a keeper's dwelling at this point, is respectfully renewed.
593. Petite Pointe au Sable, Lake Blichigan, Michigan.—This station
was begun at the opening of the last fiscal year, and was prosecuted with
some difficulties in the landing of materials to the close of the season.
The inside of the tower and covered way were plastered in the spring,
w'ood-work painted, the grading round the tower done, and the hght
exhibited on the opening of navigation in 1874.

small store-house here Avas washed away by the storm of December 4,
1873.' The crib on which the light stands needs filliug and planking.
An appropriation of $15,000 haAdng been made for a new tower and
keeper's dwelling at this station, plans will be prepared and the work
taken in hand Avithout unnecessary delay.
606. Calumet, Lake Michigan, Illinois.—This station haA^ing been repaired aud renovated during the last fiscal year, the lens was set up,
and the light exhibited Sexitember 7, 1873.
607. Chicago, Lake Michigan, Illinois.—There is no way of procuring
a proper suxnily of good water at this station, except by laying a waterpipe to connect Avith those of the city. The distance from the keeper's
dwelling to the nearest xioint of connection is about 2,600 feet, and the
cost of the work will be about $1,200, for which an appropriation is recom mended.
609. Grosse Point, Lake Blichigan, Hlinois.—The tower and dwelling
were finished in readiness for lighting March 1,1874. The light Avas
exhibited on the opening of navigation.
.Eacine Point, Lake Blichigan, Wisconsin.—The recommendation
contained in the last four annual reports, that a lake-coast light be
established on Eacine Point,, is respectfully renewed, and an approxiriation of $40,000 recommended. The importance of the erection of a
light at this point hasbeen repeatedly urged, and should be established.
At the same time the present lake-coast light at Eacine should be discontinued.
619. Sheboygan pier-head light, Lake Michigan, Wisconsin.—The establishment of this light was commenced in Sexitember, 1873, and finished
the following month.
623. Twin Biver Point, Lalce Michigan, Wisconsin.—The construction
of this station commenced last August. Unusual difficulties, Avere met
with in landing materials and in digging for the foundations, quicksand
being encountered beneath the Avater-level. Work was suspended November 7, Avith the concrete in place on the grillage which covers the
pile-heads. Work began again April 23, 1874, and the construction has
steadily progressed since. On June 30, the tower was 19 feet high above
the Avater-table, the first landing and stairs being set. The dAvelliugwalls Avere finished, and the roof being shingled.
. Sturgeon Bay Ship- Canal, Lake Blichigan, Wisconsin.—The recommendation in the last annual report that alight and steam fog-signal
be established at this important point is rencAved, and an axiproxiriation
of $20,000 is respectfully asked.
627. Port du Mort, Lake Blichigan, Wisconsin.—No repairs have been
made for some time at this station. Boat house and ways are much
needed. A new roof is required on the dwelling, aud repairs on the
boats, which were badly injured saving a shipwrecked crew. An apXnopriation of $1,200 is asked.
627. Poverty Island, Lalce Blichigan, Blichigan.—The construction of this
light-house began August 28, 1873. The Avork was closed b^'^ a fire which
commenced in the sleeping-shanties, while the men Avere at work, October 25, and which destroyed the temporary shelter and some material.
Work with a small party was recommenced May 13, and was brought
to a condition to permit of occupancy a-nd the exhibition of a temporary
light by the 14th of July, 1874, and then stopped for Avant of funds.
The present condition of the station is as follows: The tower walls are
up 31 feet from water-table and covered. All steps and landings up
Avith the walls, the plastering inside partly done. ^The dwelling is completed and painted and a wooden lantern erected on the roof for a tem

porary light, the lens for Avhich Avill soon be set up. The completion of
this light will cost about $3,000, for which au appropriation is asked.
. Whale's Back Beef Green Bay.—An examination and report on
the adA^isability of a light at this point has been ordered by the board.
641. Big Sable, Lalce Superior, Blichigan.—The erection of a lighthouse at this station Avas begun during the month of July last year.
At the end of the fiscal .year it was completed with the exception of
Xilastering and outside whitewashing. It will be ready for lighting as
soon as the lens can be set up.
Stannard's Bock, Lalce Superior, Blichigan.—The survey of this dangerous rock was made as provided for by the act of Congress of March
3,1873. The results of this survey show that it is xiracticable to build
a light-house to mark this dangerous rock in water varying from 10 to
12 feet and approachable from three sides. This light-house should be
built and a fog-signal also erected. This rock lies near the track of all
the vessels running to the north side and western portion of Lake SiiXierior, and is an object of great anxiety, especially in dark nights and
the almost interminable fog which xirevails in that neighborhood during
the greater part of the season of navigation. The keeper at Manitou
, Island reports only fi\^e days duriug the Avhole month of June, 1874,
AA^hen there was no fog in that vicinity. The construction of this station w^ll benefit the large, growing, and valuable commerce ofthe Lake
Suxierior region.! This is the xiroper time to begin it, because it can now
be built cheaper than at any future time for the reason that the costly
apparatus and machinery used at Spectacle Eeef is now aA^ailable and
are especially adax>ted to A)'orks such as this. The Avork are nearly twenty
miles distant from the nearest laud and forty from a suitable harbor,
and as it Avill be placed in from ten to twelve feet of Avater, it will require a structure of the most costly and substantial character. It will
cost at least $300,000, but no accurate detailed estiraate can be given
in advance. Large as this sum is, its outlay is fully warranted by the
necessities of the navigation of the lakes, and therefore an appropri,ation of $200,000 is recommended to begin the work.
.L'Anse, Keweenaw Bay,Lake Superior.—-A clear title has not yet
been acquired for the land which has been selected and surveyed for
the site of this station. As soon as title to site is secured' the Avork
Avill be taken in hand.
659. Portage Lalce Ship- Canal, Lake Superior, Blichigan.—After a great
delay, a clear title for theland required for this station was acquired.
Some of the material needed for its construction has been landed, and
all purchased. As soon as the statiou at Outer Island is comxileted the
Xiarty will be transferred here, and it is expected to light it about the
15th of October.
661. Outer Island, Lake Superior, Michigan.—The work at this station
was begun during the month of August, 1873. The work is now progressing, and will probably be ready for lighting about the 1st of.
October.
. Sand Island, Lake Superior, Wisconsin.—The recommendation
made in three prcAdous annual reports, that a station should be erected
on the northern end of Sand Island, is renewed, and an a.ppropriation
of $18,000 is asked.
666. Buluth, Lake Superior, Blinnesota.-^This station, after a great
delay on the part of the contractors, Avas finally completed during
the inonth of January, 1874, and lighted for the first time on the night
of June 2, 1874. ;

. Bock Harbor, {Isle Boy ale,) Lalce Superior, Blidiigan.—In the latter
part of the month of June, 1874, the old station at this place, Avhich had
been discontinued, was repaired, and arrangements made for relightingY
under the axipropriation for that purpose made by Congress. It is expected that the light will be exhibited in August.
. Passage Island, Lalce Superior,. Michigan.^-An 2i\)^vo^ii^tion of
$18,000 for a station on this island is again recommended. This is an
important matter for the A-aluable commerce of the northern xiortion of
Lake Superior.
PIER-HEAD LIGHTS. .
During the year pier-head light structures have been erected and
lights exhibited a t :
Au Sable, Lake Huron.
Frankfort, Lake Michigan.
Sheboygan, Lake Michigan.
Manitowoc, Lake Michigan.
Buluth, Lake Superior.
As the erection of xiier-head lights depends upon the extension- of the
harbor imxiroA-^ements, it is not practicable to make an estimate in detail,
but the amount of $20,000 in the aggregate will certainly be required
for this purpose.

laid and all the flooring; partition and hand-railing in the attic and
both (temporary) doors constructed; the iron-work, both inside and outside of the building, painted with one coat for protection; about 60 feet
of the small brick drain running through the depot-lot and with Avhich
the depot and keeper's dwelling are drained were taken up and renewed,
to perfect the drainage; an oil-testing room has been fitted up, and slight
damage to the roof of the building, caused by high winds, has been re])aired. In this depot is stored the entire supxily of oil for the Avhole
lake region, all the valuable material used or to be used in this district, and also some from the tenth district, and it therefore should have
an approxiriation to complete it and make it perfectly fire-proof. The
landing-pier is in a dilapidated and A^ery unsafe condition. The x>iles
and planking are A^ery rotten and no heaA'-y weight can be landed on it.
To complete this depot and to build a new landing-x)ier will require an
approxiriation of^$10,000, Avhich is. earnestly recommended.
SURVEYS OF LIGHT-HOUSE SITES.
The surA^eys completed since the last report are L'Anse, Isle Eoyale,

It is intended to continue this work in accordance Avith settled plan of
the board as raxiidly as possible.

LIGHT-HOUSES AND LIGHTED BEACONS.
432. Point Fermin, coast of California.^An appropriation of $20,000
was aiade Juue 10, 1872, for the x^i^rpose of erecting at this, station a
fourth-order light-house. As it Avas found impossible to secure the proper
site from the owners (several being minor heirs) by purchase, it Avas found
expedient to secure the same by condemnation under the laws of this
State. Suit was accordingly brought for that xiurpose, Avhich terminated
favorably to the United States on the 4th day of November, 1873. The
68:0
'REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Xilans for the structure having been xirepared, on the 21st of February
pf this year the work Avas coraraenced. It has progressed favorably
since that time. In addition to the light-house keeper's dweUing, two
large cisterns and the necessary out-houses have been built. The reserA^ation is inclosed by a substantial fence, and the grounds in the immediate Aicinity of the keeper's dwelling and toAver are inclosed by a neat
picket-fence. The lantern has been set uxi at the station. It is expected
to exhibit the light during the present season.
433. Point Hueneme, sea-coast of California.—An appropriatiou of
$22,000 Avas made by Congress on the 3d of March, 1873, for building a
fourth-order light-house, the approxiriation made by xirevious act for a
fog-signal to revert to the Treasury. It being impracticable to xirocure
the requisite amount of land for light-house xmrposes b}- pnrchase, a suit
for condemnation Avas commenced against the owners ofthe laud. The
suit terminated faA^orably to the United States on the 6th day of November, 1873. Plans for the structure Avere prepared, and on the 25th
of April work Avas coraraenced, and has progressed favorably since that
time. An artesian' well has been bored at the station, which is 7 inches
in diameter and 152 feet in depth. This well furnishes an abundant
suxixily of Avater for all necessary xmrposes.
435. Point Conception, sea-coast of California.—Au additional dwelling
has been built at this station, the water-shed made for the fog-signal;
the old dwellingi, fences, out-houses, &c., have been thoroughly repaired.
Tbe title to this; station is iu disphte, but a survey is being made with
a view to settling the matter.
436. Piedras Blancas, sea-coast of California.—An appropriation of
$75,000 was made by Congress on the iOth of June, 1872, for a firstorder light-house and fog signal at this point. The plans for the tower
having been prepared, the necessary party of raechanics and laborers
Avas organized, the * material to commence the Avork purchased,
shixiped to the xioint, and successfully landed through the surf on the
25th of April last. The Avork of blasting off' the top of the rock on the
site selected for the tower was then commenced. A contract for the
irou-Avork of the tower has been raade, and is nearly corapleted. The
work of reducing the roek for a site for the tower has proA^ed to be a
very expensive operation; the rock being so hard as al raost to resist
the best ten)xiered drills. Finding that to reduce the rock to the level
Qf the base of the tower, as per plan, would add A^ery largely to the
cost of the structure, it was determined to reduce it to alcA^el of the
floor-line of the tower only. An equally good foundation Avas b}' this
means obtained at less cost. It is expected to complete the brick-work
5f the tower for the lantern about November 1. Plans for a dwelling
have been prexiared, but-the amount of the appropriation left after the
completion of the tower will uot be sufficient to construct it with the
necessary cistern and out-houses. The lantern and lens for the station
are in store. Ah appropriation of $10,000 is therefore required to complete the station. Piedras Blancas is one of the most important points
on this coast, and a steam fog-signal of the most improved kind should
be established there. An approxiriation of $5,000 is therefore asked for
that purpose.'
. Point Sur, sea-coast of California.—Yessels leaving San Francisco
for the south, having proceeded as far as Pigeou Point light, take their
departure from Point Sur, some sixty railes distant, the great indentation
of the Bay of Monterey intervening. Vessels to the southward bound to
San Francisco haAdng arrived at Piedras Blancas, take their departure
for Point Sur again about sixty miles distant; hence Point Sur is a most

important point, and should be the site of a light-house. In considering the various points on the California coast Avhere light-houses are
still required Point Sur claims the place of greatest importance. Iu
1866 the Light-House Board ordered an examination of this point to be
made, and the following is an extract from the report of examining
officer:
Point Sur is a metaraorphic sandstone, and has an altitude of 363 feet, (established
frora observations with the aneroid barometer.) It covers an area of nearly three
acres, its general-shape being that of a wedge with an. indented edge. The general
direction of the wedge, as indicated by the corapass, is east-southeast and west-northwest. The north side and top of Point Sur are covered with grass, and the sides are
very steep, making the ascent very difficult. The extreme eastern and western portions
of this X)oint, or rock, are almost vertical, and the upper edge very narrow-, not being
more than 10 or 12 feet in width. Point Sur is situated at a distance of about half
a mile from the foot of the range of hills which form the x>rominent feature of the
coast, the intervening portion of the country being low and sandy. In very rough
weather the low land is overflowed, thus making an island of the rock. Sur River,
which is about three railes southeast of Point Sur, contains good water during the
whole year, and near its raouth is a good landing-place for vessels. The only way in
which supplies can be sent to Point Sur is by water, for the only road is a trail almost
impassable even for a horse.
, .
The Coast Survey Directory for the Pacific coast contains these
remarks:
From Piedras Blancas the coast tends northwest half west for a distance of fiftyseven railes in an almost perfectly straight line. * * * Continuing on the sauje
^
bearing, and at a distance of forty-nine miles frora Piedras Blancas, is Point Sur, sometimes called Lobos, making out nearly half a mile. As seen frora the north or soutli,
at a distance of ten railes. Point Sur appears a high, large, round-tox:)ped island;, but
iipon approaching it a low neck of land is seen connecting it with the main.
From the preceding it is apparent that the importance of this point
as a light-house site is very great. It must also appear that the erection there of a light-house, Avith the accomxianying buildings, Avill be
an expensive operation. It will be necessary to make a detailed survey
of the rock before anything definite can be known as to the cost of
establishing this station. As nearly as can be estimated with the data
available, it will cost not less than $100,000, and an axiproxiriation of
$60,000 is asked to begin the work.
437. Point Pinos, sea-coast of California.—The suit for a title to this
station is still xiending and will come up again for trial in the district
court for the county of Monterey, Avhich meets ou the third Monday of
November next.
441'. Point Montara, midway betioeen Pigeon Point and entrance to San
Francisco Bay and Harbor, sea-coast of California.—An appropriation of
$15,000 Avas made by Congress, March 3, 1873, for the establishment of
steam fog-signal at this point. A site has been secured and a favorable opinion to title giA^en by the Attorney-General of the United
States. The boiler and the necessary machinery are on hand ; plans for
a keeper's dvvelling and signal-house Avill be prepared, and the Avork will
then be commenced.
442. Farallones, off' entrance to San Francisco Bay.—The dwelling at
this station is very much out of repair, and is much too small for the
Avants of a first-order station. It was built in 1855 out of rock quarried
on the island, and is very damxi. A substantial Avooden structure is
needed, and it is respectfully recommeuded that an appropriation of
$15,000 be made for this purpose. The tower requires some repairs, and
a sraall stable is also needecl for the mule which is kexit to carr^^ oil and
other supplies up to the light-house tower.
443. Point Bonita,—During a severe storm, February 9 of this year.

a portion of the bank sustaining the trumpet of the fog-signal at this
station fell into the sea, endangering the foundation of the signal-house
and machinery. One of the trumxiets was taken down, the bank was
sloped off, and CA^ery precaution taken to insure the safety of the signalhouse and machinery. The top of the ridge or point on which the signalhouse stands is A^ery narrow, and the banks on either side are very pre- ,
cipitous, in fact almost perpendicular. The signal-house and machinery
' are in adangerous position, and orders have therefore been given to liaA^e
the proper steps taken to render it safe, the expense to be borne by the
general appropriation for fog-signals. An additional cistern Avas built
for the fog-signal in December last. An alarm-signal between the tower
and fog-signal was xiut up i i June of this year. The dAvelbng at this
station is entirely' too small ahd is much out of repair, although considerable money is spent each year in trying to put it in a comfortable
condition for the keepers. It is A^ery damp. An appropriation pf
$12,000 for the purpose of erecting a substantial wooden dwelling for
the use of the keepers at this station is recomraended.
446. Yerba Buena, San Francisco Bay, Calif ornia.-^-The fog-bell recently in use at Pbint Conception light/Station, California, has been put
in position here, and is operated by a StCA^ens clock axiparatus. Con^
gress at its last session raade an appropriatiou of $10,000 for the establishnient of a light-house and fog-signal on the southeastern extremity
of this island; ah examination for the purpose of selecting a proper
site for the light-house has beeu made. As soon as xilans are xirepared
the construction of the same will be taken in hand.
4.47. East Brother Island light-station, off Point San Pablo, and the
straits separating San Francisco and San Pablo Bays.—An appropriation
of $30,000 Avas made by Congress March 3, 1873, ^^fora light-house and
steam fog-signal at Point San Pablo, California." In consequence of the
litigation necessary to obtain a site on the mainland, it was determined
to erect thelight-house and fog-signal structures on East Brother Island,
which is immediately opposite and about a quarter of a mile distant
from' Point San Pablo. A contract was made to blast off the top of the
rock, build a sustaining-Aval I around the sanie, and erect the light-house
and fog-signal. They were coraxileted in February and the hght was exhibited for the first time on the evening of 1st of March of this year. A
subsequent contract was made for building the cistern, water-shed, wharf,
tramway, and out-houses. This contract was coraxfleted in April and
the steam fog-signal was put in operation on May 1st of this year.
448. Blare Island, Strait of Karquines, California.—The fog-bell and
machinery formerly in use at Point Bonita light-station has been rej moved to this station, where a suitable house has been built for it.
449. Point Beyes, sea-coast of California.—The steam fog-signal Avas
stopped by the want of water in July of 1873. The Avater-shed and
cistern Avere put in'thorough order in December of 1873, and duriug the
past rainy season the large cistern was filled. The fog-signal recommenced sounding January 20, 1874. Quite extensive repairs were made
to the retaining-wall Avhich sustains the rear of the keeper's dwelling to
the wind-fences which protect the same, and to the steep path leading
to the steam fog-signal. At Point Eeyes is a cistern of the capacity of
75,000 gallons, and around it is a basin capable of holding one-fourth
more. The cistern is filled by rain received on water-shed of 10,000
square feet. This water-shed is composed of a thin layer of concrete,
and requires constant repairs to prevent the rain which falls on it from
soaking into the ground. Last year, in midsummer, the cistern became
empty, and this important fog-signal became inoperative until the rains

of last Avinter put enough Avater in the cistern to permit of the signal
being again used. Last winter the rains wxre more than the aA^erage,
aud it is hoped that no stoxipage of the signal will occur this year. But
should there come a dry season, it is certain the cisteru will be emptied
unless steps are takeii to prevent it. If the area of the water-shed were
enlarged to 15,000 square feet, and covered with asxihaltum, nearly all
the water falling on the shed would be secured, and there Avoiild be no
Xirobability of the signal's being again stoxiped An asxihaltum water-shed
can be laid at 30 cents per square foot. An appropriation of $3,000 for
this purpose is therefore recommended.
452. Humboldt, coast of California.—An appropriation of $10,000 was
made by Congress March 3, 1873, for a steam fog-signal at this station.
The work was commenced in December of 1873, and was completed in
March last. The fog-signal structures are built in a very substantial
raanner. Water is obtained from Avells (three in number) dug near the
site. These Avells will afford an amxile supply of water for the use of the
signal. The signal went into operation on tlie 10th of May last. Some
repairs are needed to the keexier's dwelling, which will be made during
the xiresent season from general appropriations for repairs.
455. Crescent City, sea-coast of California,—The keeper's dAvelling at
this stationis in a A^ery dilapidated condition and should be rebuilt.
An appropriation of $5,000 is asked for that purpose.^
Point Saint George or vicinity, sea-coast of California.—This is one
of the most important points for a sea-coast lighten the coast of California. The bluff' point is about 130 feet high, with IcA^el land for some
distance back of it. Off' the point, extending some six or seven miles,
is a very dangerous reef of rocks, quite a number of which show above
water, and many are awash at low tide; others have from three to four
fathoms of water on them. The passage lietween the outlying rocks of
this reef and Point Saint George is quite AAdde, and is used bythe coastingsteamers and sailing-vessels. The steamer Brother Jonathan was
wrecked on this reef some years ago during a fog, and many lives Avere
lost; among them General Wright and staff, Avith the families of himself and scA^eral of his staff. A light-house and fog-signal should be
erected here. An approxiriation of $50,000 is asked to commence the
work.

station by the 1st of November.
448. Shoalwater Bay, on Tolce Point, nortli point of Shoalwater Bay,
Washington Territory,—An extension to the dwelling for kitchen and
other purposes, a wood-shed, and boat-house have been built.
449. Cape Flattery, {Tatoosh Island,) entrance to ihe Strait of San Juan
de Fuca.—An appropriation of $18,000 having been made for the erection of a new dwelling at this station, which is much needed, owing to
the additional number of keepers required for Avorking the fog-signal,
the work will be commenced Vk^ithout delay. The old cistern, Avhich had
been leaking badly, has been repaired, and a large wooden tank constructed to insure a more certain and ample' supply of water for the
steam fog-signal. The almost inaccessible position of Tatoosh Island
for many months of the year renders it necessary to supply this station
Avith a boat-derrick and hoisting-apparatus and tram-ways leading to the
store-house to enable the keepers to safely land supplies and to raise
them to the top of the bluff' bank and then to transxiort them to the
lighthouse.

Slight repairs have been made at this statiou during the year.
464. New Bungeness, Strait of San Juan de Fuca, WasMngton Territory.—The fog-signal, for which an appropriation was made by act of
March 3, 1873, has been comxileted and is in operation. A frame addition to the old stone dwelling has beeu built during the year. Four
cisterns enlarged and curbing raised several feet above the ground.
Yery little rain falls at this point, and no springs are available. This
necessitates the establishment of large cisterns for the collection of
water for the fog-signal.

FOG.
c
Among the impediraents to navigation none are perhaps raore to be dreaded than
those which arise frora fogs, and consequently the nature of this irapediment and the
means which raay be devised for obviating it are objects of great interest to the raariner. Fogs are in all cases produced when cold air is mingled with warm air saturated
with moisture. In this case the invisible vapor of the warmer air is condensed by the
cold into minute x^articles of liquid water, which, by their iraraense number and multijjlicity of reflecting surfaces, obstruct the rays of light, in the sarae way that a piece of
transparent glass when pounded becomes almost entirf^ly opaque and is seen by reflection as a white mass. So greatly does a dense fog obstruct light that the most
intense artificial illumination, such as that produced b y t h e combustion of magnesiura,
by the burning of oxygen and hydrogen in contact with lirae, and t h a t produced
between the charcoal points of a powerful electrical apparatus, are entirely obscured
at coraparatively short distances. Even the light of the sun, which is far more intense
_ than that of any artificial illumination, is so diminished by a single mile of dense fog
t h a t the luminary it.'^elf becomes invisible. Recourse must therefore be had to some
other raeans than that of light to enable the mariner to recognize his position on
approaching the coast when the land is obscured by fog.
The only means at x>resent known for obviating the difficulty is that of employing
powerful sounding instruments which may be heard at a sufficient distance through
the fog to give timely warning of impending danger. Investigations, therefore, as to
the nature of sonnd and its ax)plications to fog-signals becorae an important object to
those in charge of aids to navigation. Such investigations are of special importance
in connection with the light-house service of the United States. .The northeastern
coast ofthe United States on the Atlantic, and the entire western coast on the Pacific,
included in our territory, are subject, especially during the sumraer months, to dense
fogs, which greatly impede navigation, as well as endanger life and x^i'operty.
The origin ofthe fogs on our coast is readily explained by reference .to a few simple
principles of x^liysical geography. In the Atlantic Ocean there exists a cnrrent
of warm water proceeding frora the Gulf of Mexico, between Cuba and Florida, which
flows along our coast to the latitnde of about 35°, and then turning gradually to the
eastward, crosses the Atlantic and impinges against the coast of Northern Eurojpe.
'Throughout its entire course, on account of the immense capacity of water for heat,
, the temperature of the stream is greater than that of the ocean ou either side. In addition to this stream, the Atlantic Ocean is traversed by another current of an entirely
opposite character, one of cold water, which, coming from arctic regions down Davis's
Strait, is thrown, by the rotation of the earth, against our coast, passing between it
and the Gulf-stream, and sinking nnder the latter as it approaches the southern
extremity of the United States.
These conditions are those most favorable to the production of fogs, since, whenever
the AA^arra air, surcharged with raoisture, is blown from the Gulf-stream over the arctic
current and mingles with the cold air of the latter, a precipitation of its vapor takes
place in the form of fog. Hence, especially in summer, when the Avind in the eastern
X^art of the United States is in a southeasterly direction, fogs x^revail. As we proceed
southerly along the coast, the fog-producing winds take a more easterly direction.
688
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
A somewhat sirailar circulation in the Pacific Ocean produces fogs on the western
coast of the United States. In this ocean a current of warm water, starting from the
equatorial regions, xiasses along the shores of China and Japan, and, following the general trend of the coast, continues along our shore. The northern x^art of this current
being Avarmer than the ocean through which it passes, tends to produce dense fogs in
the.region of the Aleutian Islands and the coast of Alaska. As this current descends
into lower latitudes it gradually loses its warmth, and at a certain point it assumes the
character, in regard to the water througli which it passes, of a coraparatively colder
stream, and to this cause Ave would attribute the prevalence of fogs on the coast of Oregon and California, which are most prevalent during the spring and early sumraer,
with wind frora the northAvest and .west.
Frora what has been said, it is evident that the fpgs in the Aleutian Islands occur
chiefly in summer, Avhen southwesterly Avinds preA^ail and mingle the moist air from the.
Avarm current with the colder air of the more northerly latitude. In winter, the Avind
being from the north chiefly, the moist air isdiwen in an opx^osite direction, and dense
fogs therefore at this season do not prevail.
'
In regard to the fogs on the coast of Maine, the following interesting facts were furnished me by the late Dr. Stimpson, formerly of the Smithsonian Institution and of the
Chicago Academy of Sciences, who had much experience as to the weather duriug his
dredging for marine specimens of natural history in the region of Grand Manan Island,
at the entrance of the Bay of Fundy.
" S o sharply marked," says Dr. Stimpson, ' ' i s the difference of temperature of the
Avarm Avater frora the Gulf-streara and that of the polar current, that in sailing in.
sorae cases only a few lengths of a shix^ the temperature of the Avater will change frora
70° to 50°. The fog frequently coraes rolling in with the speed of a race-horse; in
sorae cases while dredging, happening to turn ray eyes to the south, a bank of fog has
been seen approaching with such rax:)idity that there was scarcely tirae in which to
take corapass-beariug of some object on shore by Avhich to steer,before I Avouldbe
entirely shut in, x'>erhaps for days together." He also mentions the fact that it frequently
happened during a warm day, while a dense fog existed some distance from the shore,,
close in to the latter there Avould be a space entirely clear ; this vA^as probablj^ due to
the reflection and radiation of the heat from the land, Avhich converted the Avatery
particles into iuAasible A^apor.
Dr. Stimpson has also noticed another phenomenon of some interest. " When a dense
fog, coming in regularly frora theisea, reaches the land, it gradually rises in the atniosphore and forms a heavy, dark clond, which is frequently precipitated in rain." This
rising of fog is not due, according to the Doctor, to a surface-wind frora the west pressing
nnder it aud bouying it upward, since t h e wind at the tirae is from the ocean. It is
probably due to the greater heat of the land causing an upward current, Avhich, when
once started, by its inertia carries the cloud up to a region of lower temperature, and
hence the precipitation. The height of the fog along the coast is not usually A^ery
great, and can be frequently overlooked from the mast-head. The deception as to size
ii^nd distance of objects as seen iuia fog is also a remarkable phenomenon Avhen observed for the first time. A x^iece of floating Avood at a little distance is magnified into
a large object, and after much experience the Doctor was not able to overcome the
delusion. It is said that the sailors in the Bay of Fundy prefer of two evils a fog that
remains constant in density to one that is variable, although the variation may be
tOAvard a greater degree of lightness, the varying intensity producing a varied and erroneous impression of the size and distance of the object seen through it. It is also his
impression that sound can be heard as well during fog as in clear weather, although
there is a delusion even in this, since the sourceof sound, when seen, appears at a greater
distance than in a clear atmosphere, and hence the sound itself would appear to be
liaagnified.
Fogs also exist on the Mississippi, especially on the lower portion of the river. They
are of two classes, those which result from the cooling of the earth, ]3articularly dur-
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.

ing the summer in clear nights, with Avind probably from a northerly direction, followed by a gentle, Avarm wind from the south surcharged with moisture, and the other
induced by the water of the river, which, coming from melting SUOAV of northern regions,
is colder than the air in the vicinity. The air OA'er the river being thiis cooled below t h e
temperature of a gentle wind from the south, the moisture of the latter is precipitated.
This fog, which occurs in the last of Avinter, during the spring, and beginning of summer, is very dense, but is confined entirely to the atmosphere above the river, while the
other class of fog exists over the land as well.
FOG-SIGNALS.
The imx)ortance of fog-signals as %ids to navigation, especially on the northeastern
portion of our coast, of AA^hich the shore is exceedingly bold and to the approach of.
which the sounding-line gives no sure indication, has been from the first an object of
special attention.
At the beginning of the operations of the Light-House Board such instruments were
emx)ioyed for producing sound as had been used in other countries ; these consisted of
gongs, bells, guns, horns, &c. The bells Avere actuated by clock-machinery which was
wound up from time to time and struck at intervals of regular sequence by which their
position might be identified. The machinery, however, by Avhich these bells were struck.
Avas of a rudecharacter and exceedingly wasteful of power, the weight continuing to descend during the whole period of operation, including the successive intervals of
silence. This defect was remedied by the invention of Mr. Stevens, who introduced an
escapement arrangement, sirailar to that of a clock, Avhich is kept in motion by a
small weight, a larger one being brought iuto operation only duriug the instant of
striking.
Bell-buoys were also introduced at various points. These consisted of a bell supported on a water-tight vessel and rung by the oscillation of the waves, but all contrivances of this kind have been found to be untrustworthy; the sound which they
emit is comparatively of feeble character, can be heard at but a small distance, and is
frequently inefficient during a fog whicli occurs in calm weather. Besides this, automatic fog-siguals are liable to be interfered with by ice iu northern positions, and in
all sections to derangement at times when no substitute can be put in their place, as
can be in the cases of the bells rung by machinery under the immediate control of
keepers. A signal Avhich is liable to be interrupted in its warnings is worse than no
signal, since its absence may giA^e confidence of safety in midst of danger, and thus
prevent the necessary caution which would otherwise be eraployed.
Guns have been emx)lQyed on the United States coast, first under the direction of
General Bates, engineer of the twelfth district, at Point Bonita, San Francisco Bay,
California. The gun at this station consisted of a 24-pounder, furnished by the War
Departraent. The necessary arrangements being raade, by the construction of a powder-house, and laying of a platforra,andemployraent of agunner, notice to mariners was
given that after the Sth of August, 1856, a signal-gun Avould be fired every hour and half
hour, night and day, during foggy or thick weather. The first year, with the exception
of eighty-eight foggy days, omitted for want of powder, 1,390 rounds were fired.
These consumed 5,560 pounds of powder, at a cost of i|l,487, pay of gunner and incidentals excluded. The following year the discharges were 1,582, or about one-eleventh
of the number of. hours and half-hours of the Avhole time. The fog-gun was found to
answer a useful purpose; vesselsby the help of it alone having corae into the harbor during
a fog at night, as well as in the day, that otherwise could not possibly have entered.
This signal was continued until it was superseded by a bell-boat. A gun was also used
a t West Quoddy Head, near the extreme eastern part of Maine. I t consisted of a short
piece, or carronade, 5 feet long, with a bore of 5^ inches, charged with four pounds of
blasting-XDOwder. The powder was made up in cartridges and kept in chests i n t h e
work-house. The gun was only fir 3d on foggy days, when the steamboat running between Boston and. Saint John's, New Brunswick, was approaching the light-house from

the former place. In going in the other direction the signal was not so much required^
because in the former case the vessel had been for some time out of sight of land, and
consequently its xiosition could not be so Avell known. The firing. AA'as coraraenced
with the hearing o f t h e steamer's whistle as she was approaching, and as the Avind during the fog at this place is generally from the south, the steamer could be heard five
or six miles. The firing was continued as frequently as the gun coukbbe loaded until
t h e steamer answered by a signal of three x>ufis of its whistle. The numberof discharges A ^ s from one to six-; thelatter exhausting a keg of powder valued at | 8 . The
Aa
keeper of thelight-house acted as gunner, without corapensation other than his salary. The cost of powder A\^as x^aid by the steamboat company. The report of the gun
was bejird from two to six miles.
• This signal h a s been abandoned because ofthe danger attending its use, the length
ofthe intervals between the successive explosions, and the brief duration of the sound
which renders it difficult to determine with accuracy its direction. •
The lamented General Bache, of the Light-House Board, adox)ted a very ingenious
plan for an autom'atic fog-signal, Avhich consisted in taking advantage of a conical
opening in the coast, generally designated a blow-hole. On the apex of this hole he
erected a chimney which' terminated in a tube surmounted by alocomotive-Avhistle., By
this arrangeraent a loud sound was produced as often as a Avave entered the mouth of
the indentation. The penetrating power of the sound from this arrangement would
not b^e great if it depended merely on the hydrostatic xiressure of the wave, since this,
under favorable' circumstances, Avould not be raore than that of a coluran of water 20
feet high, giving a pressure of about 10 pounds to the square inch. The effect, however, of the percussion might add considerably to this, though t h e l a t t e r would be confined in effect to a single instant. In regard to the x>ractical result from this arrangement, which was continued in operation for scA^eral years, it was found not to obviate
the necessity of producing sounds of greater power. It is, however, founded on an
ingenious idea, and may be susceptible of application in other cases.
EXPEKIMENTS IN 1855. .
The Light-House Board was not content Avith the employment alone of the fog-signals
in ord in airy use, but directed a series of experiments, in order to improve this branch
of its service. For this purpose the board eraxfloyed Prof. J. H. Alexander, of Baltiraore,
who raade a report on the subject, which was published among the documents. The
investigations of Professor Alexander related especially to the use of the locomotive
steam-Avhistle as a fog-signal, and in his report he details the results of a series of
experiments in regard to the nature and adjustment of the whistle, the quantity of
steam necessaiy to actuate it, with suggestions as to its general economy and management. He found, Avhat has since been fully shown, t h a t t h e poAver of the sound depends
upon the pressure of the steam in the boiler, and the pitch upon the distance betAveen
the circular orifice through Avhich the steam issues and the edge of the bell. He
appears, howcA^er, to-be under an erroneous impression that the sound is produced by
the vibrations of the metal of the goblet or bell, while iu fact this latter portion of
tiie apparatus is a resounding cavity, which, as I have shown in subsequent experiments, mxiy be constructed of wood as well as^of brass, in order to produce the sarae effect.
Mr. Alexander also mentions the effect of the wind in diminishing the penetrating
power of sound Avlien in au adverse direction, either directly or approximately. He
also recommends the adoption of an automatic pump to supply the boilers with water,
and also to oxien and shut the valves at the proper intervals for blowing the whistle.
He states that the location of a sound can be determined more precisely.in the case of
loud, high sounds, than in t h a t of feebler or lower ones. On this point I am not xirexiared to concur with hini in experiments of my OAA^U. In all cases, however, loud
so.uhds are more desirable than feebler ones, in order that they may be heard at a
greater distance above the noise of the surf and t h a t of the wind as it passes through
the spai:s and rigging of vessels.
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. .
691
'. The board, however, at this time were not prepared to adopt these suggestions,-.and
an unsuccessful attempt to use. a steam-boiler, rendered abortive by the incapacity of
the keeper to give it proper attendance, discouraged for a time efforts in this line. PrcAdous to the investigations of Mr. Alexander, at the expense of'the LightTHouse
Board, Mr. Daboll, of New London, had for several years been experimenting on his own
account "Avith reference to a fog-signal. His plan consisted in emxiloying a reed trumpet, constructed after the manner of a clarionet, and sounded by means of air condensed
in a reservoir, the condensation being x)i'oduced by horse-power operating through
suitable raachinery. Although the sound of this was more penetrating.than" that of
bells, still, the exxiense and inconvenience of the maintenance of a horse, together
with the cost of. raachinery, prcA^ented its adoption. Mr. Daboll, however, after, this
presented to the Board a modification of his invention, in Avhich a hot-air engine of'
Ericsson's patent was substituted as the motive-power, instead of the horse ; and the
writer of this report, as chairman of the comniittee on experiments in behalf of .the
Board, examined thisiuA-ention andreported in favor of its adoption.. The other mem-,
ber of the committee made an unfavorable report on the ground that:fog-signals AA^ere
of little importance, since the mariner should know his place by the character pf his
soundings in all places Avhere accurate surveys had been made, or sho.uld not venture
near the coast until the fog was dissipated. The Board, however, established Daboll
trumpets at different stations, which ha\^e been in.constant use uxi to the present time.
E X P E R I M E N T S N E A R NEAV H A V E N .
The subject of sound, in connection Avith fog-signals, still continued to occupy the
attention of the Board, and a series of investigations Avas made in October, 1865,
at the light-house near New Haven," under the direction of the writer of this report,
in connection Avith Commodore, now Admiral, Powell, inspector, and Mr. Lederle, acting engineer of the third district.
The X)rincipal object was to corapare the sound of bells, of ste'ara-Avhistles, and other
instruments, and the effect of reflectors, and also the operation of different hot-air engines. For this purpose the committee was furnished with two small sailing-vessels.
As these were very imperfectly applicable, since they could not be moved Avithout
Avind, the writer of the report dcAdsed an instrument denominated an ''artificial ear,"
by which the relative x^enetrating power of different sounding bodies could be determined and expressed in numbers by the removal of tbe observer to a comparatively
short distance frora the point of origin of the sound. This instruraent consisted of a
conical horn, raade of ordinary tinued sheet-iron, the axis of which was about 4 feet
in length, the diameter of the larger end 9 inches, and tapering gradually to If of an
inch.at the smaller end. The axis of this horn A ^s bent at the smaller end in a gentle
Aa
curve, until the xilane of the section of the smaller end Avas at right angles to. the perpendicular section of the larger end, so that Avhen the axis of the trumpet was held
horizontally and the larger section vertically, then the section of the smaller end
would be horizontal. Across the smaller end a. thin membrane of gold-beater's skin
Avas slightly stretched and secured by a thread. On this membrane fine sand was
strown. To.protect the latter from disturbance b y t h e wind, it .Avas surrounded by
a cylinder of glass, cut from a lamp-chimney, the upper end of which Avas coviered
with a plate of glass; and, in the improved condition of the instrunient, with a mag-nifying lens, Avith Avhich to observe more minutely the raotions of the sand. To use
this instruraent in comparing the relative iienetrating power of sound from different •
sources, as, for example, from two bells, the axis being held horizontal, the mouth was
turned toward one of the beUs, and the effect causing agitation of the sand, was noted.The instruraent was then removed to a station a little further from the bell, and the'
effect again noted, the distance being increased, step.by step, until no motion i n ' t h e
sand could be observed through the lens. This distance, being measured in^feet or'
yards, gave the number indicating the penetrating power of the instrument under trial,

ature, air, Avind, &c., with the other sounding-apparatus, and the relative number of
yards indicating the distance, taken as the penetrating powers ofthe two instruments.
.It should be obserA^ed,in the use of this instrunient, that it is intended raerelj'^ to concentrate the rays of sound, and not to act as a resounding cavity; since in that case the
sound, in unison with the resounding note, would produce effect at a greater distance
than one in discord.
The indications of this instruraent were compared with the results obtained by the
ear in the use ofthe two vessels, and in all cases were in exact accordance; and it Avas
accordingly used in the following investigations, and has been found of great service
in all subsequent experiments on the penetration of sound.
The only precaution in using it is that the merabrane shall not be. of such tension
as to vibrate in unison with a singlesound or its octaA^es; or, in other words, t h a t the
instrument must be so adjusted by varying the length ofthe axis or the tension of the
membrane that it shall be in discordance with the sounds to be measured, and only act
as a condenser of the sonorous waA^es.
The first experiments made AA^ere with regard to the influence of reflectors. For this
purpose a concave wooden reflector had been prepared, consisting of the segment of, a
sphere of 16 feet radius, and covered with plaster, exx)osing a surface of 64 square feet.
In the focus of this, by means of a temporary railway, a bell or Avhistle could be readily
placed or withdrawn. The center of the mouth of the bell coincided with the horizontal axis of the reflector. This arrangement being completed, the sound of the
bell, Avith and without the reflector behind it, was alternately observed. Within the distance of about 500yards the effect was evidently increased, as indicated b y t h e motion
of the sand on the membrane, but beyond this the difference was less anct less perceptible, and at the limit of audibility the addition of the reflector appeared to us
entirely imxierceptible. This result was corroborated by subsequent experiments in
which a whistle Avas heard nearly as well in the rear of a reflector as before it. I t
would appear from these results' that while feeble sounds, at small distances, are reflected as rays of light are, Avaves of powerful sound spread laterallj^, and even when
projected from the mouth of a trumpet at a great distance tend to embrace the whole
circle of the horizon.
Upon this and all the subsequent experiments, as it will appear, the principle of
reflection as a raeans of re-enforciiig sound is but partially a.pplicable to fog-signals.
I t is evident, howcA^er, that the effect will be increased by augraenting the size of the
reflector, and by more completely inclosing the sourceof sound in a conical or pyramidal reflector.
Another series of experiments was made to ascertain whether the xienetration o f t h e
sound Avas greater in the direction of the axis of the bells, or at right angles to the
axis; or, in other Avords, Avhether the sound was louder in front of the mouth of a bell
or of its rim. The result of this experiment was considered of importance, since, in
one of the light-houses, a bell has been placed with the plane of its mouth at right
angles to the horizon, instead of being placed, as usual, parallel to the same. The effect
on the sound in these two positions was similar to that produced by the bell Avith a
reflector, the noise being greater at a short distance wdth the mouth toward the observer than when the rim Avas in the xilane of the ear. At a distance, hoAvever, the
difference betAA^een the two sounds was imperceptible. In x'^ractice, therefore, it is of
very little importance whether the axis of the bell is x^erpendicular or parallel to the
horizon.
The first fog-signal examined in this series of experiments was a double whistle,
improperly called a steam-gong, designed principally for a fire-alarm and for signals
for the commencement of Avorking hours in large manufacturing establishments. I t
consisted of two bells of the ordinary steam-whistle o n t h e same hollow axis, mouth
to mouth, with a flat holloAv cylinder between them, through the upper and loAver surface of which the circular slieets of steam issue, the vibration of Avhich produces the
sound. In the instrument: under examination, the upper bell was 20 inches in length

of axis, and 12 inches in diameter, and the lower whistle was ofthe same diameter, with
a length of axis of 14 inches. The note of the shorter bell was a fifth to t h a t of the
longer. This arrangement gave a melodious sound, unlike t h a t of the ordinary locomotive whistle,' and on that account had a peculiar merit. The sound was also very
loud, and, according to testimony, had been heard under faA'^orable circumstances
more than twenty miles. It, however, required a large: quantity of steam to
give it its full effect, and the only means to obtain an approximate idea as to this
quantity Avas that afforded by observing its action on a boiler of a Avoolen manufactory near Newport. It was here blown Avith a pressure of at least 75 pounds. From theoretical considerations, however, it niight be inferred that its uiaxiniura penetrating
power would be not greater than that of a single whistle using the same amount of
steam, and this theoretical inference was borne out by the subsequent experiments of
General Duane. But from the strikingly distinctive character of its tone it has, in our
opinion, an advantage over a single Avhistle expending an equal quantity ofsteam.
The fact that the vibration of the metal of the bell had no practical effect on the
penetrating poAver of the sound was proved quite conclusiA^ely by winding tightly
around each bell, over its whole length, a thick cord, Avhich would effectually stop all
vibration. The penetration of the sound produced under this condition was the same
as that with the bells free. It is true, the latter produces a difference in the quality
of tlie tone, such as that which is observed in a brass instrunient aud that of one of
wood or ivory. The inventor was not aware that the sound produced Avas frora the
resonance of the air Avithin the bell, and not from the metal ofthe bell itself, aud had
obtained a patent, not only for the invention of the double Avhistle, but also for the
special comxiound of metal of which it was composed.
>
Another apparatus proposed to be used as a fog-signal was presented for examination
by the Marine Signal Company, of Wallingford, Conn. It consisted of a curved tube
of copper nearly an the form of the letter C, and Avas supxiorted on an axis passing
through the center of the figure. An ordinary bell-Avhistle was attached to each extremity of the tube, the instrunient being x)laced in a vertical position and partially
filled with Avater, then made to oscillate on its center of support. By this means the
air was drawn in at one end and forced out through the whistle at the other. The
motion being reversed the air was draAvn in at the end through which it had just made
its exit and forced out through the Avhistle at the other. By rocking the instrument,
either by hand or motion of the vessel, a continued sound could be produced. The
motive-power in the latter case was muscular energy, and the experiments which Avere
made at this time, as AA^CII as all that have been made subsequently, conclusively prove
t h a t the X)enetrating power of the sound for practical use as a fog-signal depends upon
^ the intensity of the motive-energy employed. No instrunient operated through levers
and puraps by hand-power is sufficient for the purpose.
" •
One of these instruments with two 4-inch whistles gave a sound, as indicated by the
artificial ear, the power of which was about one-tenth of that of a steam-trunipet.
I t was supposed,however, that this instruraent would be applicable for light-ships;
and that if extended entirely across the vessel, and armed with Avhistles of large size, .
i t would be operated by the rolling of the vessel, and thus serve to give warning in
time of thick weather. But as it frequently happens that fog exists during a calm,
this invention could not be relied upon to giA^e Avarning in all cases, of danger. Besides
this, the ordinarj^ roll of a ship is not sufficient to produce a hydrostatic pressure of
more than five or six pounds to the square inch, which is insufficient to give an effective
sound. It has, however, been x)roposed to increase the power by using quicksilver instead of water; but, besides the first cost of this material, and the constant loss by
leakage and oxidation, the tendency to affect the health of the crew is an objection to
the introduction of this modification ofthe apparatus into light-ships.
. The other instruments which were subjected to trial were an ordinary steam-whistle
and a Daboll trumpet. The bell of the Avhistle Avas 6 inches in diameter, .9 inches in

^height,'and received the sheet ofsteam through an opening of one-thirtieth of ah inch
in Avidth ; Avas worked by a pressure of condensed air of from 20 to 35 pounds per square
•ihch,*and blown once in a minute for about five seconds. The air was condensed by a
IRoper engine of one horse-power. The penetrating poAver of the sound Avas increased
by an increase in the iiressure of the air, and also the pitch. The tone, hoAvever, of the
instrument was IOAV ered by increasing the distance between the orifice through which
the circular sheet of air issued at the lower rim of the bell or resoundiug cavity. To
•proA^e conclusively that the bell performs the xiart of araere resounding cavity, a wooden
one, on a subsequent occasion, Avas substituted for that of raetal without a change in
the loudness or the x^itch of the sound.
The penetrating power of the whistle was compared Avith a Daboll trumpet, actuated
by an Ericsson engine of about the same pOAver ; the reservoir for the condensed air of
each machine was furnished Avith a pressure-gauge, and by l-cnowing the.capacity of the
condensing pumps and the nuniber of strokes required to produce the pressure, the
relative aniount of power Avas determined. The result was that the penetrating powder
of the trumpet was nearly double that of the whistle, and" that an equal effect Avas produced at the same distance by about one-fourth of the power exx)ended in the case of the
latter. I t must be recollected, howcA^er, that the Avhistle sends sonorous weaves of equal
intensity in every direction, Avhile the greatest poAA^er ofthe trumpet isin the direction of
its axis. This difference, however, is lesssufd on account ofthe spreading ofthe sound to
which Ave have before alluded. The Avhistle Avas blown, as we have said, Avith a pressure of from 20 to 35 pounds, Avhile the trumpet Avas sounded with a pressure of from
12 to 15 pounds. In the case of the Avhistle, the pressure in the reservoir may be indefinitely increased Avith an increase in the penetrating poAA^er of the sound produced,
while in the case of the trumpet a xiressure greater than a given amount entirely
stops the blast by preventing the recoil of the Anbrating tongue ; this being made of
steel, in the larger instruments 2^ inches wide and 8 inches long, Avould leceiA^e a pressure
of steam, at only 10 x.)Ounds to the square inch, of 200 pounds, tending to press it into
the opening and to x:>revent its recoil; this circumstance limits, as it were, the poAver
of a trumpet of given dimensions. It is, howcA^er, well fitted to operate AAath a hot-air
engine, and is the least expensive in fuel of any of the" instruments now^ employed.
The Avhistle is the simpler and easier of management, although they both require
arrangement of raachinery in order that they may be operated automatically.
• It is a matter of much importance to obtain a hot-air engine of sufficient x)ower,
and suitable for Avorking fog-signals of alLclasses. This will be evident AA^hen A ^ conAC
sider the difficulty in many cases of obtaining fresh Avater for producing steani, and the
expense of the renewal of the boilers in the use of salt-Avater, as well as that of the
loss of power in frequently bloAving out thelatter, in addition to the danger of the use of
steara by unskillful attendants.
The merits of the tAvo engines, hov^ever, under consideration could not be fully tested
by the short trial to Avhich they Avere subjected during these experiraents. The xirincipal objection to the Ericsson engine was the size of the fly-wheel and the w^eight ofthe
several parts of the machine; the Roper engine was ranch more compact, and appeared
to work Avith more facility, but frora the greater heat imparted to the air the packing
Avas liable to burn out and required to be frequently rencAved. Although at first the impression of the committee Avas in favor of the Roper engine, yet in subsequent trials of
Actual practice it was found too difficult to be kept in order to be employed for lighthouse purposes, and its use has consequently been abandoned; another hot-air engine
has been employed by the boaird, the iuA^ention of a Mr. Wilcox, Avhich has also been discontinued for a similar reason. I w^as assured by the person last named, a very ingenious
mechanician, that when the scA^eral patents for hot-air engines expired, a much raore
•efficient instrument could be devised by combining the best features of each of those
iubw^ in use.
.
.
.
For determining the relative,penetrating pow'er of these instruments, the use of two
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
;69'5
vessels.had been obtained, with the idea of observing the sound simultaneously in
oiix>osite directions.
.
Unfortunately, hoAA^ever, the location which'had been chosen for these experiments
Avas of a very unfavorable character in regard to the employment of sailing-vessels
and the use of the artificial ear. It was fully"open to the ocean oul}^ in a southerly
direction, navigation up the bay to the north beings limited to three and a half miles,
Avhile on shore a sufficient unobstructed space could not be obtained for the proper use
of the artificial ear. With these obstructions and the necessity of beating against the
wind, thereby constantly altering the direction o f t h e A^essel, exact comparisons were
not possible, yet the observations made Avere sufficiently definite to Avarrant certain
conclusions from them as to the relative power of the various instruments submitted
to examination.
The following is a synopsis of the observations on four different days.
. Before giving these, hoAvever, it is necessary to observ^e that at each strolvc of the
piston of the hot-air engine a loud sound was produced by the blowing off" of the hot
air from the cylinder after it' has done its work. In the following statement of results
the noise thus produced is called the exhaust. On the first day but one set of observations A ^s made, the vessel's course being nearly in the line of the axis of the trumpet.
Aa
The order of penetrating power was as follows: 1, trumpet; 2, exhaust; 3, beli;
these instruments being heard respectively at 5-^, 3^, and 2 miles. The Avhistle was not
sounded. .
The second day simultaneous observations were made from tw^o vessels sailing nearl.y
in opposite directions. The results of the obserA^ations made on the vessel sailing in
a southerly direction Avere A^ery irregular. The trumpet was heard at 3 | miles, and
lost at 4 | miles AA^ith the wind slightly in favor of the sound, and heard at 6J miles AVith
the wind somewhat against the sound ; it was heard even at 7f miles from the masthead, though inaudible from the deck. In all these cases the xiosition of the vessel
was nearly in line Avith the axis of the trumpet.
The AA^histle and exhaust were heard at 1'-^ miles with a feeble opposing wind, and lost
at 6:^ miles when the force of the wind became greater..
'
.The order of penetration in this series of observations w a s : 1, trumpet arid gong; 2,
whistle; 3, exhaust.
In the case of the vessel sailing northward, its course being almost directly against
the wind and in the rear of the trumxiet, all the sounds were lost at less distances than
in the case of the other A'essel. The obserA'^ations showed very clearly the effect of the
wind, the bell at a certain distance beingheard indistinctly Avith a strong oxiposing
Avind and more and raore plainly as the wind died away.
The trurapet was only, heard as far as the whistle, the vessel being in the rear of it.
The third day observations were made from the two vessels, both, however, sailiug
to tlie south. From the vessel sailing at right angles to the direction of the wind
the order of penetration was: 1, trumpet; 2, whistle; 3, exhaust; 4, bell.
In the case of the other vessel, the opposing etfect of the Avind Avas. greater, and the
sounds Avere heard to a less distance; the order w^as: 1, trumpet; 2,whistle; 3, exhaust;
4, bell; 5, rocker.
On the fourth day two trips were made by the same vessel in the course of the da.y,
one being northward and the other southward. In .the first case the trumpet Avas lost
at 3i miles, the vessel being nearly in its rear; 'in the second case, the wind being
almost directly oxiposed to the sound, the large bell.Avas heard at 1\ railes, and lost at
|- of a mile, probably due to increase of the force of the wind ; the trurapet Avas lost at
3-^ miles.
In all these observations, owing to the unfavorable conditions of the locality, and
the direction of the wind, we Avere unable to obtain any satisfactory observations'on
sound moving with the wind. In all cases the results were obtained from sounds
moving nearly against the wind, or at.right angles to it. From the results of the whole
it appears that the sound was heard farther Avith a light oxiposing wind than with a
696
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
stronger one, and that it was heard farthest of all at right angles to the wind. From
this latter fact, hoAvever, it should not be inferred that in this case sound could.be
heard farther at right angles to the wind than with the Avind, but that in this direction the effect of the Avind Avas neutralized. The results also exhibited, in a striking
manner, the divergency of sound from the axis of the trumpet, the trumpet being heard
in the line of its. axis in front at 6^ miles, and behind at 3, the wind being nearly the
same in both cases.
All the observations Avere repeated on land with the artificial ear as far as the unfavorable condition of the surface would permit. • Although the limit, as to distance, at
which the sand might be moved was not in most cases obserA^ed, yet the relative degree of agitation, at a given distance established clearly which was the most xiowerful
instrument, the result giving precisely the sarae order of xienetration of the different
.instruments as determined by direct audition.
Duriug this series of investigations an interesting fact was discovered, namely, a
sound moving against the wind, inaudible to the ear on the deck ofthe schooner, Avas
heard by ascending to the mast-head. This remarkable fact at first suggested the
idea that sound was more readily conveyed by the upper current of air than the lower,
and this appeared to be in accordance Avith the following statement of Captain Keeneyj
who is commander of one of the light-house vessels, and has been for a long time on
the banks of Newfoundland in the occupation of fishing : " When the fishermen in the
morning hear the sound of the surf to the leeward, or from a point toward which the
Avind is blowing, they take this as an infallible indication that in the course of from one
to five hours the wind Avill change to the opposite direction from Avhich it is blowing
at the time.". The same statement was made to me by the intelligent keeper of the
fog-signal at Block Island, In these cases it wonld appear that the wind had already
changed direction above, aud Avas thus transmitting the sound in an opposite direction to that of the wind at the surface of the earth.
Another remarkable fact bearing on this same point is established by the observations of General Duane. At Cape Elizabeth, nine miles southeasterly from the generaPs
house, at Portland, is a fog-signal consisting of a whistle 10 inches in diameter; at
Portland Head, about four miles from the same city, in nearly the same direction, is a
Daboll trurapet. There can be no doubt, says the general, that those signals can be
heard much better during a heavy northeast snoAv-storm than at any other time.
''As the Avind increases in force, the sound of the nearer instrument, the trumpet,
diminishes, but the Avhistle becomes more distinct; but I have never known the wind
to blow hard enough to prevent the sound of the latter from reaching this city."
In this case, the sound conies to the city in nearly direct opposition to the course of
the Avind, aud the exxilanation which suggested itself to me A ^ s that during the conAa
tinuance of the storm, while the Avind was blowing from the northeast at the surface,
there Avas a current of equal or greater intensity blowing in an opposite direction
above, by which the sound Avas carried in direct opxiosition to the direction ofthe surface current. The existence of such an upper current is in accordance with the hypothesis of the character of a northeast storm, Avhich sometimes rages for scA^eral days at a
given point on the coast without being felt more than a few miles in the interior, the
air continuously floAving iu beloAV and going out above. Indeed, in such ca;Ses a break
in the loAver clouds reveals the fact of the existence above of a rapid current in the
opposite directiou.
The full significance, XiowcA^er, of this idea did notrcA^eal itself to me until in searching the bibliography of sound I found an account of the hypothesis of Professor Stokes
in the Transactions of the British Association, Vol. XXIV, in which the effect of an
upper current in deflecting the wave of sound so as to throAv it dow^n upon the ear of
the auditor, or directing it upward far above his head, is fully explained. This subject will be referred to in the subsequent parts of the report, in the attempt to exXilain various abnormal phenomena of sound w^hich have been observed during t h e
series of investigations connected with the Light-House Board.
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.

During these investigations an attempt was made to ascertain the velocity of the
wind in an uxiper stratum as compared with that in the lower. The only important
result, however, was the fact that the velocity of the shadow of a cloud passing over
the ground was much greater than that of the air at the surface, the velocity of the
latter being determined axiproximately by running a giA^en distance with such speed that
a small flag was at rest along the side of its pole. While this A^elocity Avas not -pevhaps greater than six miles per hour, that of the shadow of the cloud Avas apparently
equal to that of a horse at full speed.
Duriug this and subsequent investigations, inquiries were made in regard to the
effect of fog uxion sound, it being a subject of considerable imx)ortance to ascertain
whether waves of sound, like the rays of light, are absorbed or stifled by fog. On
this point, however, obserA^ers disagree. At first sight, from the very striking analogy
which exists in raany respects between sound and light, the opinion largely prcA^ails
t h a t sound is irapeded by fog; although observers Avho have not been influenced by
this analogy have, in many instances, adopted the opxiosite oxiinion, that sound is better
heard during a fog than in clear weather. For instance, the Rev. Peter Ferguson, of
Massachusetts, informs me that, from his OAvn observations, sound is conveyed farther iu a fog than in a clear air. He founds this opinion on observations which he has
made on the sound of locomotives of several raihvays in xiassing over bridges at a distance. Unfortunatelj^, the question is a difficult one to settle, since the effect of the
wind, in order to arrive at a true result, must be carefully eliminated. Captain Keeneyj
who has previously been mentioned, related the following occurrence, in the first part
of which he was led to suppose t h a t fog had a very marked influence in deadening
sound, though in a subsequent part he carae to an opposite conclusion. He was sailing during a dense fog, Avith a slight wind bearing hira toward a light-vessel, the locality of Avhich he expected to find by means of the fog-signal. He kept on his course
until he thought himself very near the ship, without hearing the stroke of the bellHe then anchored for the night, and found himself next morning Avithin a short distance
of the light-vessel, but still heard no sound, although he A ^ s assured Avhen he got to it
Aa
that the bell had been ringing all night. He then, passed on in the same direction in
which he had previously sailed, leaAang the light-vessel behind, and constantly heard
the bell for a distance of several miles, the density of the fog not perceptibly diminishing. In this case it is evident that the deadening ofthe sound was not due to the fog,
but, as we shall hereafter see, in all probability to the combined action of the uxiper
and the loAver currents of air.
On returning to Washington the writer took advantage of the occurrence of a fog to
make an experiment as to the penetration of the sound of a small bell rung by clock-work,
the apparatus being the part of a moderator-lamp intended to give Avarning to the
keepers when the supply of oil ceased. The result of the experiment was contrary to
the 8ux)position of absorption of the sound by the fog, but the change in the condition
ofthe atmosphere as to temperature and the motion of the air, before the. experiment
could be repeated in clear weather, rendered the result not entirely satisfactory.
EXPERIMENTS AT SANDY HOOK, OCTOBER, 1867.
The next series of exxieriments Avas made from October 10 to October 18, 1867, under
the direction of the writer of this report, in connection with 'General Poe, engineer^
secretary of the Light-House Board, Comraodore (now Admiral) Case, then inspector of
the third light-house district, and Mr. Lederle, acting engineer of the same district.
The principal object of these investigations was to compare different instruments,
and to ascertain the improvements which had been made in them since the date ofthe
last investigations, especially the exaniination of a ncAv fog-signal called the siren,
aud the comparison of it with the Daboll trumpet, although other iuA^estigations Were
made relative to the general subject of sound in relation to fog-signals. . The locality

chosen was Sandy Hook, a narrow peninsula projecting northward, almost at .right
angles to the coast, about five miles into the middle of the Lower Bay of New. York,
having a width of about half a mile. Near the northern point on the east shore a
temporary building was erected for the shelter of the engines and other instruments.
The comparisons in regard to penetrating powder Avere made by the use of the artificial ear, heretofore described, by carrying this off a measured distance until the sand
ceased to moA^e. This operation Avas much facilitated by the previous surveys of members of the'Engineer Corps, A ^ o had staked off a straight line parallel with.the shore,
Ah
aud accurately divided it iuto equal distances of 100 feet. .
On account of the character of the deep and loose sand, walking along this distance
was exceedingly difficult, and, to obviate this, a carriage Avith broad wheels, drawn by
two horses, was employed. An awning over this vehicle protected the observer from
the sun, and enabled him, without fatigue and at his ease, to note the agitations of
sand on the drum of the artificial ear, the mouth of Avhic.h was directed from the rear
' of the carriage toward the sounding instrument.
For these and other facilities we were indebted to General Humphreys, Chief of the
Engineer Bureau, Avho gave orders to the officer in charge of the military works at
Sandy Hook to afford us CA^^ery aid in his x>ower in carrying on the investigation.
The instruments eraployed Avere—
1st. A first-class Daboll trumpet operated by an Ericsson hot-air engine, of which
Mr. James A. Robinson had becorae x^roprietor since the death of Mr. Daboll.
It carried a steel reed 10 inches long, 2f inches Avide, and ^ inch in thickness at the
Aibrating end, but increasing gradually uo an inch at the larger extreraity. This was
attached to a large vertical trumpet curved at the upx)er end into a horizontal direction aud furnished with an automatic arrangeraent for producing an oscillation of
about 60° in the arc of the horizon. Its entire length, including the curvature, was 17
feet. It Avas 3^ inches at the smaller end and had a flaring mouth 38 inches in diameter. Theengine had a cylinder 32 inches in diameter AAnth an air-chamber of 4^ feet
in diameter and 6 feet long, and was able to furnish continually a five-second blast
every minute at a pressure of from J5 to 30 pounds.
. 2d. A sireuj originally invented by Cagniard de Latour, and well known to the physicist as-a means of comparing sounds and measuring the number of vibrations in different musical notes. Under the direction of the Light-House Board, Mr. BroAvu, of NCAV
York, had made a series of experiments on this instrument in reference to its adoption as a fog-signal, and these experiments have been eminently successful.
The instrument as it now^ exists differs in two essential particulars from the original
invention of Latour : 1st, it is connected with a trumpet in which it supplies the place
of the reed in producing tlie agitation of the air necessary to the generation of the
sound; and, 2d, the rcA^olving disk, Avhich opens and shuts the orifices producing the
blasts, is driven not h j the blast itself impinging on oblique openings, as in the original instrunient, but by a small engine connected with the feed-xmmp of the boiler.
The general character of the instruraent raay bo understood from the following
description:
.
.
Suppose a drum of short axis, into one head of which is inserted a steam-pipe connected Avitli a locomotive-boiler, while the other end has in it a triangular orifice,
through Avhich the steam is at brief intervals allowed to project itself.
. Immediately before thishead, and inclose contact Avith it, is a revolving disk, in which
are eight orifices. By this arrangeraent, at every complete revolution of the disk, the
orifice in the head of the drum is opened and shut eight times in succession, thus producing a rapid series of impulses of steam agaiust the air into the smaller orifice of
the trurapet placed iramediately in front ofthe revolving disk. These impulses are of
such intensity and rapidity as to produce a sound unriA^':i;led in magnitude aud penetrating poAver by that of any other instrument yet devised.
The siren was operated by an upright cylindrical tubular boiler, with a pressure of
from 50 to 100 pounds on the square inch. For this form of boiler has been subser

quently substituted an ordinary horizontal locomotive-boiler with a small engine
attached for feeding it and for rotating the disk, the latter being effected by means of
a band passing over pulleys of suitable relative dimensions.
=
.3d. A steara-whistle 8 inches i'n diaracter. Through sorae raisunderstanding a series
of Avhistles of different diaraeters Avas not furnished as was intended.
. The first exxieriraents to be noted were those in regard to the conix)arison of penetrating poA^-er of the siren and the whistle, the fitting up of the Daboll trumpet not
having been corapleted. The principal object of this, however, Avas to test again the
truthfulness of the indi'cations of the artificial ear in coraparison Avith those of the
natural ear.
, •
An experiraent Avas made both by means of the artificial ear on-land and by actually going oft^ on the ocean in a stearaer until the sounds becarae inaudible to the natural ear. By the latter raethod the tw^o sounds ceased to be heard at the distances of
six and twelve and a half railes, respectiA^ely.
The indications of the artificial ear gave a similar result, the distance at wliich the;
sand ceased to move in one case being double that of the other. In both cases the con-ditions of Avind ahd weather were apparently the same. In the case-of the steamer the
distance was estimated by noting the interval of time between the flash of steam and
the x'>erception of the sound.
Comxmrison of tlie Daholl trumjjet and the siren.—The xiressure of the hot air in the
reservoir of the hot-air engine of the trumpet Avas about 20 pounds, and that of the
steam in the boiler of the siren about 75 pounds. These x)ressures are, however, not
considered of importance in these experiraents, since the object Avas not so much to
determine t h e relatiA^e amount of motive-power employed as the amount of penetrating power produced by these two instruments, each being one of the first of its class.
At distance 50 the trumpet xiroduced a decided motion of the sand, while the siren gave
a similar result at distance 58. The tAvo observations being made within ten minutes of
each other, it may be assumed that the condition ofthe wind .was the same in the two
cases, and hence the numbers, above given may be taken as the relatiA^e penetrating
X)ower of the tw^o instruments.
•
•
Another series of experiments was instituted to determine whether a high or a
low note gaA^e the greatest penetration. For this purpose the siren was sounded Avith
different velocities of rotation of the perforated disk, the pressure of steam remaining
at 90 pounds x^er square inch. The effect upon the artificial ear in causing greater or
less agitation of sand was taken as the indication of the penetrating power of. thedifferent tones. The nuinber of revolutions of the disk in a given tirae was determined
by a counting apparatus, consisting of a train of wheels and a series of dials showing
tens, hundreds, and thousands of revolutions; this Avas temporarily attached to the projecting end of the spindle of the revolving disk by pushing the projecting axis of the.
instrument into a hole in the end of the spindle.
. .
From the whole of this series of experiments it apx)eared that a revolution Avhich gaA^e
400 imjiulses in a second was the best Avith the siren when furnished w i t h a trumpet. • On
reflection, liowcA^er, it was concluded that this result might not be entirely due to the.
Xiitch, but in part to the perfect unison of that number of impulses of the siren Avith
the natural tone of the trurapet. To obviate this coraplication, a series of experiraents
was next day made on the penetration of different x^itches Avith the siren alone, the
trumpet being removed. The result was as follows :
The siren was sounded at five different x^itches, the artificial ear being at such a distance as to be near the limit of disturbance by the sound. In this condition the lowest pitch gave no motion of sand. A little higher, slight motion of sand. Still higher,
considerable motion of sand, and with a higher pitch again, no motion of sand. The
best result obtained was with a revolution which gave 360 impulses in a second. , ..
An attempt was made to determine the most effectiA^e pitch or tone of the steaniwhistle. It was started Avith what appeared to be the fundamental note-of the bell,
which gave slight motion of sand ; a higher tone a better motion ; still higher,-sand.
700
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
briskly agitated; next several tones lower, no motion ; higher, no motion ; still higher,
ho motion. The variation in the tone was made by altering the distance between th^
bell and the orifice though which the steam Avas ejected.
The result of this experiment indicated nothing of a definite character, other than
that with a given xiressure there is a maximum effect produced when the vibrations of
the sheet of air issuing from the circular orifice are in unison with the natural vibrations from the cavity of the bell, a condition Avhich can only be determined in any case
by actiial experiment.
Ill practice Mr. Brown was enablied to produce the best effect by regulating the velocity until the trurapet gave the greatest x^enetrating powder, as indicated by an artificial ear of little sensibility, in order that it might be employed for determining the
relative x)ower Avhile the observer was but a few yards from the machine.
These exx)eriments have been raade in an apartment of less than 80 feet in length, in
which the sounding apparatus was placed at one end and the artificial ear at the other,
substituting fine shot instead of sand.
The exxieriments with the siren, however, indicate the fact that neither the highest
nor thelow^est pitch of an instrument gives the greatest penetrating powder, but one of
a medium character.
Another element of importance in the construction of these instruments is the
volume of sound. To illustrate this, it may be mentioned that a harpsichord-wire
stretched between two strings of India rubber, when made to vibrate by means
of a fiddle-bow^, gives scarcely auy appreciable sound. We attribute this to the want
of quantity in the aerial wave ; for if the same Avire be stretched over a sounding-board
having a wide area, the efiect will be a comparatively loud sound, but of less
duration, with a giA'-en impulse. It was, therefore, suggested that the width of the
reed in the Daboll trumpet, the form and size of the holes in the disk of the siren,
and the.circumference of the vibrating sheet of air issuing from the circular orifice of
the whistle, Avould affect the power of the sound.. The only means of testing this
suggestion is by using reeds of different Avidths, sirens witXi disks of different-shaped
oxienings, and whistles of different diameters. In conformity Avith this view, Mr.
Brown has made a series of empirical experiments with openings of different forms,
Avhicli haA^e greatly imxiroA^ed the operation of the siren, while Mr. Wilcox has experimented on several forms of reeds, of which the following is the result :
The best reed obtained was 2J inches wide, 8 inches long in the vibrating x)art,f
inch thick at the butt, and ^ inch thick a t t h e loose end. This sounded at a xiressure
of from 20 to 30 pounds. The thinner reeds gave a sound at a less pressure, from 5 tolO
pounds, the thicker at from 20 to 30 pounds. A reed 8^ inches long in the vibrating part,
1 inch thick at the butt, f inch thick at the end, and 3 inches wide, did not begin to sound
until a pressure of 80 pounds was reached, then gaA^e a sound of a dull character.
Another reed of the sarae Avidth, ^ inch thick at the butt, and ^ inch at the end, and
same length, gave a sound at 75 pounds pressure, but still dull and of little penetrating power. These reeds Avere evidently too heavy in proportion to their elasticity.
These Avere made without the addition of a trumpet, and therefore, to produce the best
result when used with a trumpet, the latter must be increased or diminished in length
until its natural vibrations are in harmony Avith those of the former, as will be seen
hereafter. General Duane has also made experiments on Avhistles of different diameters,
of Avhich the result Avill be given.
Another consideration in regard to the same matter is that of the amplitude of the
oscillations of the tongue or steel reed in its excursion in producing the sound; the time
of oscillation remaining thesame, that is the xiitch, the amxilitude will dexiend upon the
elasticity of the reed, the power to surmount which will again depend upon the xiressure of steam in the boiler, and hence we might infer that an increase of xiressure in
the boiler with an increase of the elasticity ofthe reed, everything else being the same
would produce an increase in penetrating power. From the general analogy of mechanical effects xiroduced by motive-power we may denote the effect upon the ear by
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
701
the expression M V^, in which M expresses the mass or quantity of air in motion, and
V the velocity of the particles in vibration.
If this be the expression for the effect upon the ear it is evident that in case of a very
high note the amplitude of the vibration raust be so small that the effect would axiproximate that of a continued pressure rather than that of distinct alternations of pressure,
giAdng a vibrating motion to the.drum ofthe ear.
Next, experiments were made to determine the penetrating power in the case of the
Siren under different pressures ofsteam in the boiler. The experiraents commenced with
a pressure of 100 pounds. The pressure at each blast was noted by two observers, and
to compare these pressures with the,indications of the sand, the tirae of tbe blasts was
also noted.
The following are the results :

From this series df experiments, it apxiears that a diminution of pressure is attended
with a comparat^ely small diminution in the penetrating power of the siren.
In regard to this unexpected result of great xiractical importance, the following
appears to be the explanation. It is a well-known princixile in aerial mechanics that
t h e velocity of the efflux of air from an orifice in a reservoir does not increase with an
ncrease of condensation, Avhen the spouting, is into a vacuum. This is CAddent Avhen
we reflect that the weight or density of the air moving out is increased in x^roportion
to the elasticity or xiressure ; that is, the increase in the propelling force is x^i'oxiortiouai
to the increasie in the weight to be moved, hence the velocity must reraain the sarae.
In the foregoing experiments Avith high x>ressures large in proportion to the resistance of the air, the A^elocity of efflux should therefore be but little increased with the
increase of xiressure, and inasmuch as the velocity is the most important factor in the
expression M V^, which indicates the effect on the tympanum, the penetrating power of
the sound should be in accordance with the above experimental results.
A similar result cannot be expected Avith the use of the whistle or the trumpet, since
jn the former the stiffness of the aerial reed depends upon its density, which will be
in proportion to the xiressure in the boiler, and in the case of the latter no sound can
be produced on the one hand unless the xiressure be sufficient to overcome the resistance
of the reed, and on the other the sound must cease when the xiressure is so great as to
prevent the recoil of the reed.
5. An experiment was made to determine the effect of a small Avhistle inserted into
the side of a trumpet near the small end. The Avhistle being sounded before and after
it Avas placed in the trumxiet, the result was as follows : The x^enetrating powers wer®
in the ratio of 40: 51, while the tone was considerably modified. From this experiment
it appears that a whistle may be used to actuate a trumpet or to exercise the functions
of a reed. In order, however, to get the best results, it would be necessary that the
trumpet and whistle should be in unison, but it may be doubted, however, Avhether
an increase of effect, with a given amount of powder, would result from using such an
arrangement; it might, nevertheless, be of advantage in certain cases to direct the
sound of a locomotive in a definite direction, and to use a smaller whistle, esxiecially
in cities, in which the locoraotive passes through long streets ; perhaps in this case t h e
sound might be less disagreeable than that of the naked whistle, which sends its sound".
Avaves laterally with as much force as in the direction of the motion of the engine.

;6. General Poe called attention to the sound produced by the paddle-wheels of a
steamer in the offing at a distance estimated at four aud a half miles. The sound was
quite, distinct AA^hen the ears Avere brought n e a r the surface of the beach.
^«Tn this .connection he stated that he had heard the approach of a small stearaer on
the northern lakes when its hull A ^s still below the horizon, and was even enabled to
Aa
designate the particular vessel from among others by the peculiarity of the sound.
.The sound,in the case of the steamer is made at the surface of the w^ater, and i t
might be Avorth the .trouble to try experiments as to the transmission of sound under
this condition, and the collection of it by means of ear-trumpets, t h e mouths of which
are near the water, the sound being conveyed through tubes to the ears of the x)ilot.
In order, how^ever, to determine in this case the direction of the source of sound, two.
trumpets Avould be necessarj^, one connected with each ear, since we judge of the
direction of a sound by its simultaneous effects on the tw^o auditory nerves. This suggestion, as Avell as many others Avhich have occurred in the course of these researches,
is worthy of sxiecial investigation.

Frora these experiraents it would appear that the material or elasticity ofthe trumpet had little or no effect on the penetrating poAver of the sound, athpugh the shape
appeared.to have some effect, the pyramidal trumpet} or one with square cross-section,
(No. 1,) giA^ing a less result than the conical ones.of the same sectional area. A comXiarison AA:as made betAveen a long straight trumxiet and one ofthe same length curved
at its uxix^er end, Avhich gave the same penetrating power wdth the same pressure. It
is x:>robable that a thin metallic trumpet Avould give greater lateral divergency to the
sound, and also a slightly different tone.

8. The effect,of a hopper-formed reflector Avas next tried with the whistle, the axis of
w.hich w^as about 5 feet in length, the mouth 6 feet square, and the small end about 18
inches. W^hen the whistle Avas sounded at the small end of this reflector, the dislance
at which..the sand ceased to raoA^e.was 5 1 ; the sound of the sarae w^histle without the
reflector ceased toraoA^ethe sand at 40. The ratio of these distances would have been
less with a more sensitive instrument at a greater distance on account of the divergency of the rays.

9. In order to determine the. diminution of sound bydeparting.from the axis of the
trurapet, a series of experiments Avas made with a rotating trumpet, the axis of which'
was at first directed along the graduated line of observation, and subsequently deflectedfrora that line a given number of degrees. The followdng were the results :

These results illustrate very strikingly the tendency of sound to spread on eithier side
of the axis of the trumpet; had the experiments been, made with a more sensitive instrument, and at a greater distance, the effect would have shoAvn a much, greater
divergency. It should be observed, however, that the mouth of the trumpet in this
ease. Avas 36 inches, which is unusually large.
.
l^rom the experiments made near New Haven, and also from t h o s e a t this station, it
appears that the actual araount of poAver to give soundof a given xienetration is absolutely less with a reed trumxiet than Avith a locoraotive Avhistle.- This fact x>robably finds its exxilanation in the circumstance that in each of these instruments
the loudness of the sound is due to the vibration of the air in the interior of the
•trumpet and in the bell of the whistle, each of these being a resounding cavity-; and
furthermore, that in these caAdties the air is p u t d n a state of sustained vibration by,
the undulations of a tongue, in the one case of metal, in the other of air; and, furthermore, that it requires much more steam to set the air in motion by the tongue of air
than by the solid tongue of steel, the former requiring a considerable portion of the
motive x)o\A'er to give the current of which it consists the proxier degree of stiffness,
if I may use the word-, to produce the necessary raxiiditj' of oscillation. But, whatever may be said in regard to this supposition, it is evident, in case reliable hot-air
.engines cannot be obtained, that the Daboll trumxiet may be operated by a steamengine, although at an increased cost of maintenance, but this increase, we think,
will still not be in proportion to the sound obtained in comparison with the whistle.
Another question which naturally arises, but which has not yet been definitely settled
by experiment, is whether both the siren and the whistle would not, equally, with
the trumpet, give more efficient results when worked by condensed air than by steam.
From hypothetical consideration this would appear to be the case, since the intensity of sound depends upon the density of the medium in Avhich it is produced ; and,
as the steam is considerably lighter than air, and as the cavities of all of these instruments are largely filled with steam, the intensity of sound Avould, on this account,
seem to be less.
'
.
At the conclusion of the experiraents at Sandy Hook the siren was adoxited as a
fog-signal, in addition to the reed-trumpet and the locomotive-whistle, to be applied
to the more imxiortant stations, while large bells were retained for points at which fogsignals Avere required to be heard at but comparatively small distances. These instruments of the first class being adopted, it became of importance to determine, iu actual
Xiractice, the cost of raaintenance, the best method of working them, and any other
facts which might have a bearing on their use.
'
.
But as investigations of this kind would require much time and peculiar advantages
as to location aud mechanical apxiliances, this matter w^as therefore referred to General
Duane, the engineer in charge of the 1st and 2d light-house districts, who had pecu'_
liar facilities near his residence, a t Portland, Me., in the Avay of Avorkshops and other
conveniences, and Avho, from his established reputation for ingenuity and practical
skill in mechanism, was w^ell qualified for the work. The assignment of this dutj^ to
General Duane by the Light-House Board w^as made duriug my absence in Europe, in
1870, and as my vac^itibn in 1871 was devoted to light-house duty ih California, I
had no oxiportunity of conferring Avith him ou the subject until after his experiments
were coraxileted. His results are therefore entirely independent of those obtained under my direction, and I give them herewith in his own words, with such comments as
they may suggest and as are necessary to a proper elucidation of the subject.

The apparatus employed consisted of the first-class siren, first-class Daboll trumpet
and steam-whistles of various sizes.
.
The points to be decided were :
1st. The relative poAver of these machines, i. e., the distances at which they could beheard under various conditions of the atmosphere.
2d. The amount of fuel and water consumed by each.
.
3d. The attention*and skill required in operating them.
704
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
4th. Their endurance.
5tli. Whether they are sufficiently simple in construction to permit of their being
managed and kept in running order by the class of men usually axipointe'd light-housekeepers.
In conducting these experiments the following method was x^nrsued:
The signals Avere sounded at alternate minutes, and their sound compared at distances of tA\'o, three, and four miles, and from different directions. On every occasion
the quantity of fuel aud Avater consumed per hour by each was carefully noted, and
the condition of each machine examined, both before and after the trial, to ascertain
whether any of its parts had sustained injury.
Before giving the results of these experiments some facts should be stated, which
will exxilain the difficulty of determining the power of a fog-signal.
There are six stfeam fog-whistles on the coastof Maine; these have been frequently
heard at a distance of twenty miles, and as frequently cannot be heard at the distance
of tAVO miles, and this Avith no perceptible difference in the state of the atmosphere.
The signal is often heard at a great distance in one direction, while i n another it
will be scarcely audible at the distance of a mile. This is not the eftect of wind, as the
signal is frequently heard much farther against the Avind than with it. For example,
the AAdiistle on Cape Elizabeth can always be distinctly heard in Portland, a distance
of nine miles, during a heavy northeast snow^-storm, the wind blowing a gale.directly
from Portland toward the Avhistle.
^
[In this sentence. General Duane certainly does not intend to couA'-ey the idea that a
signal is frequently heard " at a much greater distance against the wind than Avith
it," since this assertion Avould be at variance with the general experience of mankind ;
but the word "frequently" applies to the whistle on Cape Elizabeth, Avhicli has been
already mentioned as a remarkably exceptional case, in Avhich the sound is heard best
against the wind during a northeast snoAV-storm.]
The most x^erplexiug difficulty, however, arises from the fact that the signal often
appears to be surrounded by a belt, varying in radius from one to one aud a half miles,
from Avhich the sound appears tb be entirely absent. Thus, in moAdng directly from a
station, tlie sound is audible for the distance of a mile, is then lost for about the same
distance, after which it is again distinctly heard for a long time. This action is common to all ear-signals, and has been at times observed at all the stations, at one of
which the signal is situated On a bare rock tAventy iniles from the main-land, with no
surrounding objects to atfect the sound: '
[This statenient was of so remarkable a character that I hesitated, as chairman of
committee on experiments, to publish it until the conditions under Avhich the x:>hen6mena occurred had been definitely ascertained; it has, however, since the late conclusions of Professor Tyndall, receiA^ed a x^lausibility which at first sight it did not possess. I think the phenoraena, hoAvever, can be explained frora the action ofthe uxiper
and loAver currents of Avind on sound, in conjunction Avitli the peculiar topograxihy and
prevailing atraosxiheric currents of the locality at which abnormal phenoraena of sound
have been observed.]
All attemxits to re-enforce the sound by means of reflectors have hitherto been unsuccessful. Upon a large scale, sound does not appear, on striking a surface, to be reflected after the manner of light and heat, but to roll along it like a cloud of smoke.
[This statement is in a measure in accordance with results which I have xireviously
found in connection Avith investigations at the light-house near NCAV Haven, in which
the conclusion Avas arrived at, that although rays of feeble sounds, and for a short distance, observe the law that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
after the manner of light, yet pow^e"rful sounds tend to diA^erge laterally to such a
degree as to render reflectors of comparatively little use.]
In AdoAv of these circumstances, it will be,obvious that it was extremely difficult to
determine tlie extent.of the xiower ofthe A^arious signals under examinatiou.
It should be remembered that while the sound from the whistle is equally distributed in all directions,*-that from the tAVO other signals, both of which are provided with
trumxiets, is not so distributed.
[The difference is apparent near by, but, as we.haA^e seen before, on account of the
tendency of sound tp spread it is imx)erceptible at a distance.]
* .The sound ofthe Avhistle is equaUy distributed horizontally. I t is, however, much stronger in the
plane containing the lowbr edge of the \)eli than on either side of this plane. Thus, if the Avhistle is
standing upright, in the ordinary position, its sound is more distinct in a horizontal plane passing
through the Avhistle than above or below it.

In the siren the sound is most distinct in the axis of the trumpet.
' - [ •
In the Daboll trumpet it is usually strongest in a plane perpendicular to this
axis.
[This is at variance directly with any observation I have myself made.]
Belativepoicer;—From the average of a great number of experiments the following
result was obtained:
The power of the first-class siren, 12"-whistle, and first-class Daboll trumpet, may
be expressed by tbe numbers 9, 7, 4. '
^
The extreme limit of sound of the siren was not ascertained. That of the 12"whistle is about tAventy miles, and of the trumpet twelve.
Consumption of fuel and ivater.—The siren, when working with a pressure of 72
pounds of steam, consumes about 180 x>cu^ii'ls of coal and 12p gallons of Avater per
hour.
The 12''-whistle, with 55 pounds pressure of steam, consumes 60 pounds of coal and
40 gallons of water per hour.
The Daboll trumpet, Avith 10 pounds pressure of air in the tank, consumes about 20
pounds of coal per hour.
The relative expenditure of fuel would be: siren, 9 ; whistle, 3 ; trumxiet, 1.
The siren.—Of the three machines this is the most complicated. I t uses steam at a
high pressure, and some of its parts move wdth very great velocity, the siren spindle
making from 1,800 to 2,400 rcA^olutions x>er minute. The boiler must be driven to its
full capacity in order to furnish sufficient steam. A large quantity of steam is, at
iuterv^als, suddenly drawn from the boiler, Causing a tendency to foam, and to eject a
considerable aniount of Avater through the trumpet.
The constant atteution of the keeper is requiredi to regulate the fire, the supxily of
w^ater to the boiler, of oil to the journals, &c.
In general terms, it may be stated that the siren requires more skill arid attention in
its management than either ofthe other signals.
The Daholl trunqyet.—As the caloric-engine, which has been-hitherto eraployed to
operate this signal, requires little fuel, no water, and is perfectly safe as regards danger
frora exjilosion, it would, at the first glance, appear to be the most suitable power that
could be applied to fog-siguals, aud was accordingly at first exclusively adopted for
this purfiose. It was, how^ever, found to be so liable to accident and so difficult to
repair that of late years it has been almost entirely rejected. In the steara-boile.r, the
furnace is surrounded by w^ater, and it is irapossible, under ordinary circurastances, to
heat the raetal much above the temperature of the water. The furnace of the caloricengine is surrounded by air, and is, therefore, liable to be burned out if the fire is not
Xiroperly regulated.
The Avorking-piston is packed with leather, and as it moves horizontally, with its
whole weight.resting on the lower side of the cylinder, the packing at its lower edge is
soon w^orn out.
If the engine is allowed to stop, with the piston at the furnace-end of the cylinder,
the leather is destroyed by the heat. The repacking of a piston is a d ifficult and expen- .
sive operation, requiring more skill than can be expected among the class of menfrooi
whom light-house-keexiers are appointed.
Another accident to which these engines are subject arises from a sudden check in the
velocity of the piston, caused either by the jamming of the leather-packing or the introduction of dirt into the open end of the cylinder, in which case the momentum of the
heavy, eccentrically-loaded fly-wheel is almost sure to break the main rocker-shaft.
The expense of repairs is considerably increased by the fact that these engines are
not noAvdn general use, and when iraportant rexiairs are required it is usually necessary
to send.to the manufacturer.
This signal requires much attention. The fires must be carefully regulated to avoid
burning out the furnace, the journals thoroughly, oiled, and the cylinders well supplied
with tallow^
2^he steam-iohistle.—This machine requiring much less steam than the siren in proportion to the size of its boiler, there is not the same necessity for forcing the fire ; the
pressure of steam required is less, and the xioint from which it is drawn much higher
above the water-level in the boiler, and there is consequently no tendency to foam.
The machinery is simple; the piston-pressure very light, producing but little strain
on the different parts of the engine, which is therefore not liable to get out of order,
and requires no more attention than a comnion stationary engine.
-v^
One marked adA^antage xiossessed by this signal is that, should the engine become disabled, the Avhistle may still be sounded by working thevalve by hand. This is not the
case with the two others, where an accident to any part of the machinery renders t h e
signal for the time useless.
It Avill thus be seen that the siren is the most expensive of the fog-signals as regards

maintenance, and that it is adaxited only to such stations as are aburidantly supplied
Avitli water and situated in the vicinity of machine-shops Avhere the necessary repairs
can be promptly rnade.
On the other hand, a s i t is the most x^ow^erful signal, therear^ certain stations where
it should liaA^e the xireference; as, for example, Sandy Hook, which from its importance
demands the best signal that can be procured, regardless of cost. Such stations should
be xirovided with duplicate apparatus, well suxiplied with spare parts, to guard against
any possibility of accident.
. There should be a keeper whose sole business must be to attend the signal, and who
should have sufficient mechanical skill to make the ordinary repairs. He should, moreover, be a licensed engineer.
There will also be required an assistant, who m.ay be one of the light-keepers, to relieve hira during the continuance of foggy weather.
The steam-whistle is the simplest in construction, most easily managed and kept in
repair, and requires the least attention of all the fog-signals.' It is sulficiently pOAVerful for most localities, while its consumption of fuel and Avater is moderate.
It has been found on this coast that a sufficient quantity of rain-Avater can be collected to supply the 12"-whistle at nearly every station. This has been the case for
the last tAVO years at Martinicus.
The Daboll trumpet, operated by a caloric engine, should only be emxiloyed in exceptional cases, snch as at stations where no water can be procured, and Avhere, from
the proximity of other signals, it'may be necessary to vary the nature of the sound.
The trumxiet, hoAvever, may undoubtedly be A^ery much imxiroved by employing steampoAver for condensing the air. The amouut of work required, which is that of coniXiressing 70 cubic feet of air to an average pressure of 8 pounds per inch, would be less
than tAVO horse-powder. For this x^nrpose the expenditure of fuel and water would be
moderate; indeed, the exhaust-steam could be condensed and returned to the cistern,
should the supply of water be liraited.
The siren also is susceptible of iraprovement, especially as regards simplification.
[In the foregoing remarks we think the general has exxiressed a somewdiat undue
partiality for the whistle, and sorneAvhat overestimated the defects ofthe other instru^
ments. The trumpets, with Ericsson engine, have not been abandoned, except parr
tially in the two districts under the direction of General Duane, to which he probably
intended to confine his statement. They are still in use in the third district, where
they are preferred by General Woodruff, who finds no difficulty in keeping them in
repair, having employed a skilled machinist Avho has made these instrurnents his
special study, and who, visiting them from time to time, makes repairs and supplies
new parts.]
The intermittent action of fog-signals makes it necessary to employ a peculiar form
of boiler. The steam used is at a high pressure, and draAvn oft' at intervals; consequently there is a tendency to foam and throw out water with the steara. To obviate
this difficulty the form of boiler found by experience to be best adapted to this service
is a horizontal tubular boiler, (locomotive,) with rather more than one-half of the
interior space alloAved for steam-room. The steam-donie is A^ery large, and is surmounted by a steam-pixie 12" in diameter. Both the dome and pipe Avere formerly
made niuch smaller, but weie gradually enlarged as long as any difficulty with regard
to foaming was noticed. The steam is draAA^n off at a point 10" aboA^e the water-level
in the boiler. The main points to be observed are to haA^e plenty of steam-room, and
to draAV the steam from a point high above the water-level. It will be readily perceived that a vertical tubular boiler is entirely unsuited to this work.
It is essential, both as regards economy of fuel, and the efficient working of the
signal, that the boiler, including the dome and stand-pipe, should be well covered with
some good non-conductor of heat."^ A material, called salamander feltirig, manufactured in Troy, N. Y., was used on the fog-whistle boiler at House Island during the
winter of 1870. There resulted a saying of more than 20 per cent, of fuel over t h a t
consumed in the same boiler when uncovered. Where this material cannot be procured,
. a thick layer of hair felting, covered with canvas, will be found to answer a good
purpose.
Various expedients have been proxiosed with the view of keeping the water in the
boilers hot when the signals are not in operation, that the signal may always be ready
to sound at a very short notice, and that the Avater in the boiler and pipes may be preA^ented from freezing in extremely cold weather. One pf these contrivances is " Sutton's circulating water-heater.^' It consists essentially of a sraall, vertical, tubular
boiler, entirely filled with water, and connected with the boiler or tank which contains
the Avater to be heated, by tAvo x^ipes on different levels. As soon as the Avater in the
heater is Avarmed, a circulation commences, the hot Avater floAving through the upper
pipe into the boiler, and the cold through the low^er pipe from the boiler to the heater.
i
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
707
As the furnace in the heater is very small, but little fuel is consumed, and nearly the
entire heat produced by the combustion is utilized.
The apparatus has beeu extensively employed in heating the water in tanks designed
for filling the steam fire-engine boilers, Avhen the alarm of fire is first given, and appears
admira.bly adapted to this purxiose. If used in connection with a steam-boiler it should
be disconnected before steam is raised in the latter, as from its construction it is not
calculated to Avithstand any considerable pressure.
An arrangement sirailar in principle has been used in the first light-house district,
consisting of a sraall cylinder coal-stove of the ordinary pattern, around the interior
of Avhicli, and above t h e grate, is introduced a single coil of f" pipe. This coil is
connected with the boiler by two pipes, one entering near the bottom, the other about
2 feet higher. It has been found that in consequence of the rapid circulation of the
Avater through this coil, and the great capacity of water for heat, that nearly all the
heat from the fire in the stove is transferred to the water in the boiler. This arrangement possesses the advantage of the f" pipe, being strong enough to stand any pressure that can be used in the boiler, rendering it unnecessary to disconnect it at any tirae.
Exx'>erience has, hoAvever, proved that none of these contrivances are essential. It
is seldora that an attentive keeper cannot foresee the approach of fog or snow in time
to have the apparatus in operation as soon as required, even when obliged to start his
fire Avith cold water in the boiler.
•
j
Keepers should be directed to watch the state of the weather carefully, and to light
their fires at the first indication of fog or snow-storm. As soon as the water in the
boiler is near the boiling-point, should the necessity for sounding the signal have not
yet arisen, the fire may be banked, and in this state the water may be kept hot for any
length of time at a moderate expenditure of fuel. With proper care nO more fuel is
required to keep the water at the requisite temperature by means of a banlced fire
than by any other method, and it is a matter of great importance to avoid comx)licating fog-signal apparatus by unnecessary axipendages.
The sarae xilan s.hould be adopted in extremely cold Weather, to prevent the water
in the boiler from freezing. There should be a small air-cock in the draught-pipe near
its junction with the feed-pump, and in cold weather this should be opened when the
pump is not in use, in order to allow the pipe to eraxity itself.
When the draught-xiipe cannot be xH^otected from the cold, and the well is a t a considerable distance from the engine, the following expedient has been employed with
success : The pixie is inclosed in an India-rubber hose of about double its diameter,
and from time to tirae steam is forced through the space between the hose'aud draughtpiXieby raeans of a small pipe frora the boiler.
Although the laws governing the reflection of light and heat are undoubtedly in a
great measure applicable to sound, there are yet so many disturbing influences, such as
inflection, refraction, caused by the varying density of the atmosphere, &c., interfering
with the reflection of the latter, that but little use can be made of this property in
directing and condensing the waves of sound issuing from a fog-signal. This fact may
be illustrated by an account of some experiments made during the last year.
A whistle being sounded in the focus of a large parabolic reflector, it was very perceptible to an observer in the immediate A^icinity that the sound was louder in the
front than in the rear of the reflector. As the distance of the observer from the whistle
was increased this disparity rapidly diminished, and at the distance of a few hundred
yards entirely disappeared. The ieam of sound had been dissixiated and the shadow
had vanished. The etfect of a horizontal sounding-board 10 feet square, suspended OA^er
the whistle to prevent the escape of sound in a vertical direction, was inappreciable at
the distance of a quarter of a mile.
The emxiloyment of a trumpet Avith the wliistle was rather more successful. The
trumpet Avas constructed of wood, in the form of a square pyramid; the lower base
being 10' by 10', the upper base 2' by 2', and the height 20'. The axis was horizontal and
the whistle placed at the smaller end. By this arrangement the increased powder of the
sonnd could be perceived at the distance of a mile, the action being similar to that of
a speaking-trumpet.
It is probable that some modification of this form of whistle may be advantageously
employed in certain localities, but there is, however, a disadvantage attending the use
of a trumpet with fog-signals.
The sound from a trumpet not being uniformly distributed, it is difficult to estirriate
the distance of the signal, or, as the pilots term it, " to locate the sound." This has
been observed in the siren and Daboll trumpet. T h e sound frorn these signals being
stronger on one course than any other, may be distinctly heard from a A^essel when
crossing the axis of the beam of sound, but as its distance from this line increases, the
sound appears fainter and more remote, although the vessel may be axiproaching the
signal.
From an attentive observation, during three years, of the fog-signals on this coast,
and from the reports../received/from captains and pilots of coasting vessels, I am con-
708
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
vinced that in some conditions of the atmosphere the most powerful signals will be at
times unreliable.
vNo.w it frequently occurs that a signal, which under ordinary circumstances would
be audible at the distance of fifteen railes, cannot be heard from a A-essel at the distance of a single mile. This is x>rohably due to the reflection mentioned by Humboldt.
/The teraperature of the air over the land where the fog-signal is located, being very
different from that over the sea, the sound, in xiassing from the former to the latter,
undergoes reflection at their surface of contact. The correctness of this yievyis rendered-more probable by the fact that when the sound is thus impeded in the direction
of the sea, it has been observed to be much stronger inland.
When a vessel approaches a signal in afog, a difficulty is sometimes experienced in
determining the position .of the signal by the direction from which the sound apxiears
to proceed, the apparent and true direction being entirely different. This is undoubtedly due to the refractiori of sound passing through media of different density.
. Experiments and observation lead to the conclusion that these anomalies iu the penetration and direction of sound frora fog-signals are to be attributed mainly to the want
of uniformity in the surrounding atmosphere, and that snow, rain, fog, and the force and
direction of the wind have much less influence than has generally been supposed.
[In_the foregoing I differ entirely in opinion from General Duane, as to the cause of extinction of powerful sounds beiug due to the unequal density of the atmosphere. The velocity of sound is not at all affected by barometric pressure, but if the difference in pressure is caused by a difference in heat, or by the expansive poAver of vapor mingled with
the air, a slight degree of obstruction of sounds may be observed. But this effect we
think is entirely too minute to x>i'oduce the results noted by General Duane and Dr.
Tyndall, while we shall find in the action of the currents of wdnd above and below a
true and sufficient cause.]
The experimental whistles were ofthe following dimensions, viz: 2^", 3", 4", 5", 6", 10",
12", and 18" in diameter. Those of 2-^", 3", 5", and 10", were fitted, instead ofthe ordinary bell, Avith long cylinders, provided with movable pistons, so that the effective
leugth of the bell could be altered at x^leasure. The pitch of the blast was found to
A^ary with the length ofthe bell, and the power ofthe whistle Avitli its diameter. The
ratio of the xiower to the diameter was not accurately obtained-, but it is probable that
the extreme range of sound bf a whistle is x^roportional to the square root of its diameter.
[This result, that the pitch varies with the length of the bell, is in conformity with
well-established principles of resounding caAdties ; and that the power should increase
Avith the extent of the aerial reed, the vibrations of which give motion to the resounding air within the cavity, is also, as we have seen, in accordance with hypothetical
considerations; but .as the density of this stream of steaw, and consequently the raXiidity of its vibrations, depends upon the pressure of the steam in the boiler, a perfect
whistle should have the capability of changing its dimensions, not only in relation to
the -width of its throat, but also in regard to the xiressure of the steam in the reservoir.]
The,pitch giving the greatest range,appears to be at the middle of the scale of sound.
I t is certain that a good result canuot be obtained from either a very shrill .or a bass
note. This remark is applicable to all varieties of signal.
The 10" and 12" whistles are recommended for ordinary use. The ,18" whistle is
more poAverful, but the increase of power bears top small a x>roportion to that of the
expenditure of fuel to render its employment generally advisable. The. best results
were obtained by giAdng the whistle the following proportions: The diameter of the
bell equaling two-thirds of its length, and the set of the bell, i. e., the vertical distance of the loAver edge above the cup, from one-third to one-fourth of the diameter for
a pressure of from 50 to 60 pounds of steam.
, .
A bell, whether operated by hand or by machinery, cannot be considered an efficient
fog-signal on the sea-coast. In calm weather it cannot be heard half the time at a
greater distance than one mile, Avhile in rough weather the noise of the surf will drow^n
its sound to seaward altogether.
On approaching a station I haA^e frequently seen the bell rung violently by the
keeper, Avithout being able to hear the sound until I had landed.
Nevesrtheless, all important stations should be x>rovided Avith bells, as there are occasions when they may serve a useful purpose, but it should be well understood by mariners that they must not expect always to hear the bells as a matter of course.
. Bells should not be .omitted at stations furnished Avith steam fog-signals, espec.i&,lly
when the latter are not in duplicate, and mariners should be warned that the-bell will •
be sounded Ayhen the regular signal is disabled.
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
709
I t has been observed that a bell rung by hand can be heard farther than when
sounde*d..by raachinery,, and many of the steamboat companies on this, coast pay the
keepers of bells rung by clock-work, to ring them by.hand Avhen the boats of their.line
are expected to pass.
. .\
•
••
[We think the difference in the effect of ringing of bells by hand or by machinery is
so slight as to be inappreciable except at a short distance. It is true, as I haA^e. before;
observed, that the sound is louder when the mouth pf the bell is directed toward the.
hearer than when the edge is so directed, but on account ofthe spreading of this sound
the effect is lost in a sraall distance, and, indeed, in one light-house the bell is perraanently placed with the axis of its tqouth directed horizontally, and in this position, if the
bell were struck interiorly with a hammer, which Avould give it a larger vibration than
when struck exteriorly, I doubt whether any difference could be observed between
the two methods of ringing ; and if any existed it would probably be in favor of the
fixed bell rung by machinery.]
On rivers, nalrrow channels, and lakes, where the difficulty from the noise of the surf
does not exist, this species of signal may be used to advantage, as its maintenance
requires but a small expenditure of either money or labor, and by a proper arrangement of the machinery the intervals between the strokes ofthe bell may be so regulated
as to avoid the danger of conlfounding the signals, however near together.
Although a bell may be heard better when sounded by hand than by clock-work, yet
in thoroughfares where the signal must be kept in constant operation during the entire continuance of a fog, it would be impracticable to make use of the former method,
and recourse must be had to machinery.
In arranging the signal the bell and machinery must be placed ias low as possible, as
t h e sound is heard much more plainly on the water when the bell is near its surface, and
also as the machinery, when thus situated, is steadier and more readilj^ accessible..
Particulars as to the siren.—The boiler of a second-class apparatus is 12 feet long, 42
inches in diameter, and has 300 feet heating-surface. The dome is 2 feet in diameter
and 3 feet high.
The cylinder ofthe engine is 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches stroke. The prolongation of the piston-rod forms the plunger of the feed-pump. The main shaft carries
three x^nlleys, the larger driving the siren-spindle; the second, the Avorm and scrcAV
gear; and the third, the governor.
"
In the wbrra-gear the wheel makes two revolutions per minute, ahd is provided with
a cam, which, acting on a lever, opens the valve, admitting steam through the siren-'
disks. The cam has such a length as to hold the vah^e oxien for about seven seconds.
A counter-weight closes the valve as soon as the lever is released by the cam.
The siren itself consists of a cylindrical steam-chest, closed at one end by a perforated
brass plate. The perforations are twelve in number, equidistant from each other, and
arranged on the circ uni fere nee of a circle, whose center is in the axis of the cylinder.
The other end is closed by a cast-iron head. The heads, are connected by a brass
pipe, through which the spindle xiasses.
The perforated head is covered on the exterior by a brass disk, attached to the
spindle, having twelve rectangular notches corresponding to tlie apertures in the former,
and so arranged that by its revolution these apertures are simultaneously opened and
closed. The spindle is driven by a belt from the large pulley on the main shaft. This
shaft makes 180 revolutions per minute; the spindle, 1,620; and as there are 12
apertures in the disks, from each there will issue jets of steam at the rate of 19,440
per minute. The sound produced by these impulses may be rendered mpre or less acute
by increasing or diminishing the velocity of revolution.
The valve and valve-seat are disks similar to those already described, having, however, four openings instead of twelve. The valve revolves on the brass tube inclosing
the siren-spindle, and is worked by a bevel gear. The trumpet is of castdron.
The Daholl trumpet.—The apparatus used in the foregoing exxieriments is a secondclass trumpet, operated by an Ericsson caloric-engine. The air-pump is single-acting.
Its cylinder is 12" in diameter by 12" stroke. The engine makes forty strokes per minute.
There is a screw-thread raised on the main shaft, which, acting on a wheel, drives a
bevel gear, giving motion to a cam-wheel. T h e latter makes one revolution in tw^o
minutes, and is furnished with three equidistant cams. These cams, pressing on .the
valve-lever, throw the valve open once in forty seconds, admitting the compressed air
through the reecjl-chest into the trumpet.
The quaritityof air forced into the tank should be in excess of that needed for the
trumpet, the surplus being allowed to escape through a delicate safety-valve. This, is
necessary to provide against a deficiency in case of leakage, arid' also to alio vy. the .
pressure of air to be regulated to accommodate the reed. Each reed requiring k differ-

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
ent pressure, it is necessary to alter the pressure of the valve-spring whenever a reed
is changed.
The first-class trumpet differs only in size from that described.
The caloric-engine for the first class has a 30" cylinder. The air-pump is 16^" by
15" stroke.
I'he steam-ioliistle.—The boiler of this machine is that of the siren. On the forward
X^art ofthe boiler the bed-plate of a small engine is secured by tAvo cast-iron, brackets.
The cylinder of this engine is 4" by 9". The fly-wheel shaft carries an eccentric,
Avhich, acting through a rod and pawl on a ratchet-Avheel, gives the required motion to
the cain-A\^heel shaft.
•
The cam-wheel, which makes one revolution per minute, is provided- with one or
more cams, depending on the number of blasts to be given in a minute; the length of
the blast beiug regulated by that of the cams.
The A^alve for admitting the steam into the Whistle is a balance-valve, the diaraeters
of the two disks being respectiA^ely 3J" and 2f", Avhich difference is sufficient to cause
the x^i^essure of steara to close the valve tight without requiring too great a force to
open it. The valve is worked by a stera attached to the rocker-shaft at the lower, xiart
of the steam-pipe. This shaft passes through a stuffing-box in the steam-pipe, and is
proAdded with a collar which the xiressure of the steara forces against the interior boss
on the x^ipe, thus making the joint'steam-tight. The exterior arm on this rocker-shaft,
as well as that on the engine, is perforated in such a manner as to allow the throAv of
the valve to be adjusted.
In the comments we haA^e made on the report of General Duane, the intention was not
in the least to disparage the A^alue of his results, which can scarcely be too highly appreciated ; but, inasmuch as the true explanation of the phenomena he has observed has an
impoHant bearing on the location of fog-signals and on their general application as aids
to navigation, as well as of great interest to the physicist who values every addition, to
theoretical as well as practical knowdedge, we have.not only thought the remarks we
have offered necessary, but also that special investigations should be made to ascertain
more definitely the conditions under Avhich the abnormal x^henomena he has described
occur, and to assign, if possible, a more definite and efficient cause than those to which
he has attributed them.
We have, therefore, given much thought to the subject, and,, since the date of General
Duane's report, have embraced every opportunity Avhich occurred for making obserA^ations in regard to them. The first step we made toward obtaining a elew to the explanation of the x)henomena in question resulted from obseiwations at New Haven,
namely: 1st, the tendency of sound to spread laterally into its shadow; 2d, the fact
that a sound is frequently borne in an opposite direction to the wind at the surface, by an upper current; and 3d, that a sound moving against a wind is heard
better at a higher elevation. The first.point to consider is in what manner the
wind affects sound. T h a t ifc is in some w^ay connected with the distance to which
sound can be heard is incontestably settled by general observation. At first sight, the
explanation of this might seem to be very simple, namely, that the sound is borne on
in the one direction and referded in the other by the motion of the wind. But this exxilanation, satisfactory as it might appear, cannot be true. Sound moves at the rate bf
about 780 miles an hour, and therefore, on the above suppositiou, a wind of 7.8 miles
Xier hour could neither retard nor accelerate its velocity more, than one per cent.,
an amount inappreciable to ordinary observation ; whereas we know that a wind of
the velocity AA'C have mentioned is frequently accompanied with a reduction of the penetrating xiower of sound of more than 50 per cent. The explanation of this phenomenon, as suggested by the hyxiothesis. of Professor Stokes, is founded on the fact that in
the case of a deep current of air, the loAver stratum, or t h a t next the earth, is more
retarded by friction than the one immediately above, and this again than the one
above it, and so on. The eftect of this diminution of velocity as w^e descend toward
the earth is, in the case of sound moA^ing with the current, to carry the upper part of
the sound-waves more rapidly forward than the loAver parts, thus causing them to
incline tow^ard the earth, or, in other words, to be thrown down upon the ear of the
observer.' When the sound is in a contrary direction to the current, an opposite effect
is produced—the upper portion of the sound-waves is more retarded than the low^e^ \

which, adA^ancing more rapidly, in consequence inclines the Avaves upward and directs
them above the head of the observer. To render this more clear, let us recall the
nature of a beam of sound, in still air, xirojected in a horizontal direction. It consists
of a series of concentric waves perpendicular to the direction of the beam, like the
palings of a fence. Now, if the upper part of the waves have a slightly greater velocity than the lower, the beam will be bent dowuAvard in a manner soraewhat analogous
to that of a ray of light in proceeding from a rarer to a denser medium.. The effect
df this deformation of the w^ave will be cumulative from the sound-center onward,
and hence, although the velocity of the wind may haA^e no perceptible effect on the
velocity of sound, yet this bending of the wave being continuous throughout its entire
course, a marked effect must be produced. A precifsely sirailar effect Avill be the result,
but perhaps in a considerably greater degree, in case an upper current is rao ving in an
opposite direction to the lower, when the latter is adverse to the sound, and in this we
have a logical explanation of the phenomenon observed by General Duane, in which a
fog-signal is ouly heard during the occurrence of a northeast snow-storm. Certainly
this phenomenon cannot be explained by any peculiarity of the atmosphere as to variability of density, or of the araount of vapor Avhicli it may contain.
The first phenoriienon of the class mentioned by Geueral Duane, which I had the
good fortune to witness, was in.company Avith Sir Fred. Arrow and Captain Webb, of
the Trinity House, London, in their visit to this country in 1872. At the distance of
two or three miles from an island in the harbor of Portland, Maine, on which a fogsignal Avas placed, the sound, which had been distinctly heard, was lost on approaching
the island for nearly a mile, and slightly regained at a less distance. On examining
the position of the fog-signal, which was situated on the farther side ofthe island from
the steamer, Ave found it placed immediately in front of a large house with rising
ground in the rear, which caused a sound-shadow^, into which, on account of the lateral
divergence of the rays, the sound was projected at a distance, but not in the iraraediate
vicinity of the island. In the sarae year I raade an'excursion in one of the light-house
stearaers, with Captain Selfridge, to an island on the coast of Maine, at which abnormal phenomena were said to have been observed, but on this occasion no variation of
the sound was noted, except that which was directly attributable to the wind, the signal being heard much farther in one direction than in the oxiposite. The next oppor^
tunity I had to study the abnormal phenomena of sound is described in the folioAving'
report made to the Light-House Board:
''
I N V E S T I G A T I O N S I N R E G A R D TO SOUND AND FOG-SIGNALS, AUGUST, 1 8 7 3 .
Professor Plenry, chairman, and Commander Walker, naval secretary of the LightHouse Board, left Portland at 3 o'clock p. m., in the steam-tender Myrtle, Captain Foster, for Whitehead light-station, at which place abnormal phenomena of sonnd had
been observed.
Whitehead light-station is on a small island about a mile and a half from the coast
of Maine, on the western side of the entrance to Penobscot Bay, and in the direct line
of the coasting-steamers and other vessels from the westward bound into the Penobscot
Bay and River. The light-house and fog-signal are situated on the southeast slope of
the island, the surface of which consists almost entirely of rock, the middle being at an
elevation of 75 feet above the mean tide-level,.
The phenomena which had been observed at this and other stations along the coast
consisted of great variation of intensity of sound while approaching and receding
from the station. As an example of this we may state, the experience of the observers
on board the steamer City of Richmond on one occasion, during a thick fog in the night
in 1872. The vessel was apxiroaching Whitehead from the south westward, when, at a
distance of about six miles from the station, the fog-signal, which is a 10-inch steamwhistle, was distinctly perceived and continued to be heard with increasing intensity
of eound until within about three miles, Avhen the sound suddenly ceased to be heard,
and w^as not pej:ceived again until the vessel approached Avithin a quarter of a niile of
712
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
the station, although from conclusive evidence furnished by the keexier it was shown
that the signal had been sounding during the whole time. The wind during this time
Avas from the south, or approximately in an opxiosite direction to the soiind. Another
fact connected with this occurrence was that the keeper on the island distinctly heard
the sound of t h e whistle of the steamer, which Avas commenced to be bloAvnas soon as
the whistle at the station ceased to be heard, in order to call the attention of the keeper
to AA'hat Avas supposed to be a neglect of his duty in intermitting the operations of his
signal. It should, be observed in''.this case that the sound from the steamer was produced by a 6-inch Avhistle, while that of the station Avas from an instrument of the
same kind, of 10 inches in diameter; or, in other Avords, a lesser sound was heard from
the stea-mer, while a sound.of greater A^olume Avas unheard in an opposite direction from
the station. It is evident that this result could not be due to.an3^ mottled cond ition or
want of acoustic transxiareucy of the atmosphere, since this would absorb the sound
equally in, both directions. The only plausible explanation of this phenomenon is that
which refers ifc to the action of the wind. In the case of the sound from the steamer, the
Avind was favorable for its transmission, and hence it is not strange that its sound
should.be heard on the island when the sound from the other instrument could npt be
heard on the steamer. To explain on the same principle t h e fact of the hearing of the
sound at the distance of six miles, and afterAvard of losing it a t the distance of three
miles, Ave have only to suppose that in the first instance the retarding effect of the
Avind was small, and that in the second it became much greater on account of a sudden
increase in the relative A^elocity of the current in the upper and lower portions.
Affcer making a crifcical examination of fche islaud and the position ofthe machinery,
and also in regard to any obstacle Avhich might'interfere Avith the x^ropagatio n of the
sound, the keeper, w^as directed tp put the instrument in operation and to continue to
sound it for at least tAvo hours, or until the steamer was lost sight of, which direction
was coraplied with. In passing from the island, almost directly against a l i g h t wind^

until it finally ceased at a distance of about fifteen miles, as estimated by the intervals
between the blasts and the sight of the steam as seen through a spy-glass, and also
from points on the Coast-Survey charts.
The result of this investigation clearly shoAved the power of the apparatus in propagating sound under conditions not entirely favorable, since the wind, though light, AA'as
in opposition to the sound.
Cape Elizaheth Li ght-Station, Maine, August 29, 1873.—The fog-signal at this xilace is
on a xH^ominent headland to Avhich the course of all A^essels is directed when bound
from the southward into Portland Harbor. It is furnished Avith two light-houses 919
feet apart and 143 feet above sea-level. The easterly tower is connected Avith the keeper's dwelling by a wooden covered way 200 feet long and about 12 feet h i g h ; the station is furnished with a 10-inch steam fog-whistle, placed to the southward of the
easterly tow^er, at a distance of about 625 feet aud about at right angles wdth the
covered Avay; it therefore has a background, including the covered way, of about 65
feet above the height of the Avhistle, Avhich Avas found to reflect a perceptible echoThe Avhistle Avas actuated by steam at 55 pounds pressure, consuming from 60 to 65
pounds of anthracite coal per hour. The Avhistle itself differs from the ordinary locomotive-whistle by having a projecting ledge or. rim around the lower part through
which the sheet of steam issues to strike against the lower edge of the bell. What
effect this projecting ledge or rim may have is not known to the obserA'ers. This
whistle is provided, for the purpose of concentrating the sound in a given direction, .with a hollow truncated pyramid 20 feet long, 10 feet square at the large
end, and 2^ feet square at the small end, the a^is of the pyramid being placed,
parallel to; the horizon, \Adth the whistle at the smaller end. In order to ascertain
the effect bf this apxieudage to the whistle the simplest plan Avould haA^e been to
have noted the intensity of sound at various points on a circle of which the Avhisfclo

tlB
would haA^o been the center. This being impracticable on account of the interA^eritionof the land, the obserA^ations were confined to points on three arcs of a circle
of about 120^, of which the axis divided the space into 80^ and40° and a radius'of
one, tA\^o, and three miles. The result of these observations was that starting front'
the axis of the trumpet on the east side, the sound grew slightly less loud until the
'prolongation of the side of the trumpet was reached, when it becarae comxiaratively
faint and continued so until the line between the whistle and observer was entirely
unobstructed by the side of the trumpet, Avhen the sound was apparently as loud as in
the prolongation of the axis itself. On the Avest side of the axis of the trumpet t h e
sound in a like manner diminished frorii the axis until the prolongation of the side of
the trumpet Avas reached when it became feeble again, slightly increased, and then
gradually diminished until the. line of direction made an angle of about 80° with the
axis of the trumpet, when it ceased to be heard at a distance" of about one and a half
miles. It should be observed, hoAvever, that at this point the line of sight of the observers was obstructed by the side of the trurapet aind the shioke-stack of the boiler.
The wind was light, at south-southwest, axiproximately in direct oxiposition to the direction of the sound when it ceased to be heard. We are informed that comxilaints had pre-*
viously been made by officers of steamers passing near this point, that the soiind was
here inaudible previous to the introduction of this trumpet; it would therefore follow
that it is of no use in increasing the effect on the western side of the axis and is of injury
to the sound on the lines of xirolongation of its sides. If the sound ceased to be heard at
the point mentioned, Avhen the trumxiet is removed, the only axiparent cause ofthe phenomenon willbe the prevailing direction of the wind, which, coming from the southwest, Avill be in opposition to the sound of the whistle; but in the case of the present
iuA^estigation the force of the Avind was so small that it scarcely appeared adequate to
produce the effect, and this question, therefore, must be left for further investigatiori.
I t may be important to state that, in the case where the sound ceased to be heard, it
was regained by sailing directly toward the station about one mile, or at half a mile
from the station. ' After making the foregoing observations as to" the intensity of sound
in different directions from the station, the observations were closed by sailing directly
along the axis of the trumpet until the sound, which gra<Xually grew fainter as the
distance increased, finally ceased to be heard at a distance of about nine miles. Iri
comxiaring this last result with an instrument of about the same xiower at Whitehead, which gave a perceptible sound at a di.?iauce of fifteen miles, the only apparently variable circumstance was the velocity of the wind, in both cases adverse to
the direction of the sonnd; but in that of Cape Elizabeth it was of considerable more
intensity.
.
Duriug the foregoing experiments, when the A^essel was about a mile from the station, steaming directly outward, in the prolongation of the axis of the instrument, '
there was heard after each sound of the whistle a distinct echo from the broad, unob-^
structed ocean, Avhich was attributed at the time, as in other cases, to .reflections
from the crests and hollows of the waves, a similar phenomenon having since been
referred to a reflection from air of a different density. This observation becomes important in regard to the solution of the question as to the abnormal phenomena of,
sound.
Cajje Ann Light-Station, Massachusetts, August "21, 1873.—This is one of the m o s t
important stations on the New England coast. It is furnished Avith two first-order
lights, and a 12-inch steam-whistle, actuated by 60 pounds pressure of steani. The
present is the fourth engine which has been .erected at this station, in consequence
of the complaints either as to the inefficiency of the sound or its failure to be heard
in certain directions. It was at first proposed to sail entirely around the island in .
order to test the intensity of the sound in different directions, biit.this was found.,
impracticable on account of want of depth of water on the inland side; the.bbservatioris were therefore confined to the direction in which Qomplaints had been macje
as to the deficiency o f t h e signal, naniely, iu a southerly direction. The result of
714
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
these observations, the points of which included an arc of 120°, was that the sound
was heard with equal intensity except when the direction of the station was to the
northward and eastward of the observers; then, in one instance, the sound became very
indistinct, and in another was entirely lost, both at a distance of about tAVo miles. In
these cases the line of sight between the observers and the signal Avas interrupted, in
the first by a small building, the gable-end of which Avas within 10 feet of the whistle,
and in the second by the south light-tow^er, which is within 30 feet of the whistle. I n
this series of experiments, as with the last, the wind was against the sound ; the effect
was noted by passing over the arc several times at different distances. The wind was
from the southAA^ard and westward and very light, and the sound was finally lost at
about six miles, and in the direction of the obstructions.
Boston Light-Station, August 31, 1873.—Thelight-house is situated on a low, rocky
island, on the north side of the main outer entrance to Boston Harbor, nine miles,
from the city. It is furnished with three caloric engines, two of the second class
and one of the first. The two second-class engines are so arranged as to act
separately or^ together, and in the latter arrangement serve to duplicate the
larger engine. At the time the observations were made, the large engine was
about being repaired, and one of the smaller engines with the double air-reservoir
was used. The larger engine is used wdth 12 pounds pressure of air, which falls
to 8 pounds in producing the sound. The sraaller engine, with the double reservoir, is started Avith 9 pounds pressure, which falls to 8 pounds. This difference
in the pressure of air in the two engines is caused by the larger ratio of the
reservoir to the size of the reed. With a greater pressure than 12 pounds to the square
inch in the larger engine and 9 pounds in the sraaller no sound is produced ; the reed
is unable to act against the pressure, and, consequently, the orifice reraains closed.
The trumpet of the larger of the engines is reported to have been heard eighteen
miles at sea, which, in consideration of the results obtained at Whitehead, we
thought very xirobable. The tirae required, from starting fires, to get a good workingpressure, is about half an hour. The amount of coal consumed per hour is 17 pounds.
There is moreover at this station a bell, operated by a Stevens clock, not at present
used. It is placed on a high, wooden frame-structure, on which one of the ancient
bell-striking machines was originally erected. ' The most proper position for the fogsignal is on the ground occupied, by this bell-tower, but as this was not removed at
tbe time of the erection ofthe trumpets, they were placed in such positions as to have
the line of sound interrupted to the northeastward by the bell and light toAvers. Ifc
was therefore thought probable that this was the cause of the deficiency of sound in
this direction. To test this the vessel Avas caused to traA^erse the arcs of scA^eral concentric circles, in the portion of the horizon where the soulid was most required as a
signal. The first arc traversed was about one and one-half miles from the signal. The
A^essel on this crossed the axis where the sound was quite loud,'and proceeded northward until the sighf of the trumpet was obscured by the before-mentioned towers,
when the sound became almost inaudible. The vessel next returned across the axis,
o n a circle of about three miles radius, with similar results; but after crossing the
axis the sound on the southern side oontinued to be but little diminished in intensity
along an arc of two and a half miles, or as far as the land would allow the vessel to
go. The vessel .was next put upon an arc, of which the radius Avas one and a half
niiles, and on the south side ofthe axis, aud sailed to the northward until the axis was
reached, then turned and ran for the entrance of the harbor, hugging the southern
shore, keeping as far from the signal as possible. Throughout this passage the sound
was clear and loud, showing A^ery little,df any, diminution of power as the several
positions deviated more and more from the direction of the axis, until the vessel was
at right angles with the axis, the land not permitting any greater distance. The vessel approached to Avithin three-quarters of a mile of the signal and then continued
still farther around, until nearly in the rear of it, the sound still continuing clear and

loud. The vessel next proceeded up the harbor, nearly in the line of the axis of the
trumpet xn'olonged i n t h e rear, still continuing to hear the signal distinctly until the
keeper, losing sight ofthe vessel, stopped sounding the instrument. These observations
Avere raade under very favorable circumstances, it being nearly calm. What wind did
exist was about equally favorable to points on either side of the axis. The inference
from these observations is, first, that small objects placed near the source of sound
tend to diminish its intensity in the direction of its interruption, and should, therefore, if
possible, be removed, or the instrument so placed as to obviate such obstructions ; and,
second, that, even Avith the trumpet, the sound so diverges from the axis as to be efficient even in the rear of the instrument.
i
INVESTIGATIONS RELATIVE TO EOG-SIGNALS, AUGUST 25, 1874.
The first of these was on board the steamer Putnam, at Little Gull Islarid, with
Admiral Trenchard, inspector bf lights of the third district, accomxianied by Governor
Ingersoll of Connecticut and Captain Upshur, U. S. N.
At this place are two sirens, the one to replace the other in case of an accident. One
of the sirens was sounded with a pressure of 50 pounds per square inch. The wind was
across the axis of the trumpet, and almost precisely at right angles to it.
The steamer was headed against the wdnd, on a line at right angles to the axis ofthe
trumpet. The sound in this case also traA'^eled against the wind, which AA'^as ait an estimated velocity of from 4 to 5 miles.per hour. The distance traveled before the sound
became inaudible was estimated, by the speed of the steamer, at 3^ miles.
The steamer was next headed in an opposite direction and returned along its previous
path, across the mouth of the trumpet of the siren, the sound .gradually increasing in
strength without any marked irregularity, until the siren was reached, and on leaving
this, the course remaining the same, the sound gradually diminished in interisity, but
v^dth lees rapidity than before, until it was finally lost at a distance of 7.^ miles. In
the latter instance the movement of the sound was with the wind. The result of these
observations was conformable to that generally obtained from previous observations,
namely, that the sound is seldom or never heard at the sarae distance in different
directions, and,'moreover, that it is generally heard farther with the wind than against it.
The observations of this day also illustrate the spread of the sound-wave on either
side of the axis of the trumpet, a fact which has frequently been observed in other
investigations. I t may be well to mention that the siren trumpet at this locality is
directed horizontally with its prolonged axis passing over, immediately in front ofthe
mouth of the trumpet, a space of very rough ground, the surface of which is principally
composed of bowlders, one of Avhich, of very large size, is directly in front of the trumpet, and the idea occurred to me that this rough surface might produce some effect on
the transmission of sound to a distance. I observed by strewing sand npon a paper
that the former was violently agitated Avhen held near the surface of the large bowlder
just mentioned, duriug the blast ofthe siren-trumpet.
At this station, during the visit of Sir Frederick Arrow, the sound was lost in the direction of the axis of the trumpet at a distance of tw^o miles, and then again regained with
distinctness at the light-vessel, a distance of four and one-half miles; this was what we
have denominated as an abnormal phenomenon which we think was due to a slight
variation in the velocity of the lower or upper part of the current of air, but, unfortunately, the demand for the use ofthe vessel as a li'ght-house tender prevented the attemxit
to ascertain whether the same phenomenon would be observed a second time and to
further investigate its cause.

,
The second investigations this season were September 1, 1874, with General Barnard,
of the Light-House Board, and General Woodruff, engineer of the third district. We
Xiroceeded on this occasion in the steamer Mistletoe to Block Island, one of the outer
stations ofthe Light-House Board, fully exposed, without intervention of land, to the
waves and storms of the ocean.
On the southerly side of this island a lighfc-house is about being erected, and a siren
station at this locality had been established aud was in full operation.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
"TherlB afe here two sirens attached to one boiler, one to be used in case of an'accident
to'the other. For the sake of experiment they are of slightly different qualities, one
with a larger trumpet with a revolving, disk of the old pattern, giving a low^er tone ;
tlie other a smaller trumpet, having a revolving disk Avith openings alloAving a muchmore sudden full blast of steam, and revolving wnth greater velocity so as to give: a
higher pitch. The latter is far the superior instrument, as was evident to us by. the
sound w^hich it produced, and as had been established by theuse of the artificial ear.
in the manufactory of Mr. Brown. The effect on the unguarded ear was scarcely endurable, and the very earth around appeared to tremble during the blast. The keeper
(an intelligent man who has been promoted from the station of assistant keeper a t
Beaver Tail light to this station) informed us that a fleet of fishing-vessels coming in
distinctly heard it at a distance estimated by their rate of sailing at scarcely less than
thirty miles; this was on two sexiarate occasions. The keeper had been directed to
note and record the date at Avhich he heard the sound frora other signals; he reported
that he had frequently heard the fog-signal at Point Judith, a distance of seventeen
miles, and that the observer at the latter place frequently heard his signal; but on
comparing records the two sounds had not been heard simultaneously by the two
keepers; when it w^as heard from one station it was not heard from the other, illustrating again the general rule t h a t sound is not transmitted simultaneously Avith equal
intensity in opposite directions.
This occasion also furnished very favorable conditions for observing the remarkable
phenomenon of the ocean-echo. At the cessation ofeach blast of the trumpet, after a
slight interval, a distinct and prolonged echo was returned from the unobstructed ocean.
, I t is important to obserA'e, ih regard to this x^henomenon, that the siren is placed near
the edge of a perpendicular cliff, at an elevation of from 75 to 100 feet above the ocean,
and, furtberrnore, that the direction of the wind formed an angle of about 35° with the
axis ofthe trumpet. Now, the loudness of this echo was not the greatest at the sirenhouse, but increased in intensity until a x>oint was reached several hundred yards from,
the trumpet, apxiroximately raore in accordance with a reflection from the waves. The
Avind was blowing from the shore with the direction of the sound as it went off from
the trumpet, and nearly against it on the return of the echo. I haA^e attributed this
phenomenon, wbich was first observed in 1866 at East Quoddy Head, on the,coast of
Maine, and since at various stations, at which the trumpet or siren has been nsed, to .
the reflection of the sound from the crests and slopes of the waA^es, and the observation
we have mentioned would appear to favor this hypothesis. In connection with this
explanation, I may mention that my attention has been called by General Meigs, of the
United States Army, to an echo from the palings of a fence, and also from a series of
inclentatidns across the underside of the arch one of the aqueduct bridges of the Washington Avater-works. The fact that the sound Avas much louder at a point considerably
distant frbm the trumpet was.noted by one of the party entirely unacquainted with the
hypothesis.
The keeper at this station confirmed wdthout a leading question the statement of
Captain Keeney, that it frequently happens that a feeble sound of a distinct object, as
the roar of the surf, can be heard against the direction of the w^ind, and that in this .
case it always betokens a change in the weather, and is, in fact, used generall^^ by the
fishermen as a prognostic of a change in the direction of the wind, Avhich will, in the
course of a few hours, inA^ariably spriug up from an opposite qnarter. In such case it
is highly probable, as has' been stated, that a change has already takeii place in the
direction of the upper strata of. the air, although, from theoretical considerations, we
might infer that the same result would be produced if the wind were stationary above
and moving Avith a considerable velocity in a direction opposite to the sound at the
surface of, the earth, the A^elocity gradually diminishing as w^e ascend, for in this case,
ar§b/the inclination of the sound-waves would be downward.
Third series of investigations, September 23, 24, 1874, was made in company wdth
Captain Jbhn Davis and Major Haines, both of the Light-House Board, and Geiieral
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
7Jr7
Woodruff, engineer of the third district, and Mr. Brown, patentee of fche siren. For
t h e purxiose three light-house tenders vi^ere employed, viz: Mistletoe, Captain Keeney
Putnam^ Captain Field; Cactus, Captain Latham.
The place of operation chosen for the first day's series was about 1^ miles from the
northern point of Sandy Hook.
From the experience gained by the accumulated observations which had been made,,
i t was concluded that the phenoraena of sound ih regard to perturbing influences
could not be properlj^ studied Avithout simultaneously observing the transmission of
sound in opposite dire()tions. It was therefore concluded to employ at least two steanrers in making the investigations.
In regard to this point the commission was fortunate in being able to command the
use for a limited xieriod of the three tenders mentioned above, which happeued to
be ait the time assembled at the light-house depot, Sfcaten Island, and could be
spared from their ordinary operations for a few days without detriment to the service.
I t was also fortunate in selecting for the scene of the investigations an unobstructed .
position in the lowei: bay of New York, and perhaps still rriore fortunate in the season
of the year when, on account of the heat of the sun, a land and sea breeze, which
changed its direction at a particular hour of t h e day, enabled results to be obtained
bearing especially on the phenomena to be investigated.
Attention Avas first given to the character of the several steam-whistles which were
intended to be used as the sources of the sound during the series of investigations.
These whistles, which were sounded during the whole of the observations Avith 20
pounds of steam on each boiler) gave at first discordant sounds, and were found by their
eftect upon an artificial ear to be considerably different in penetrating power; they
were then adjusted h j increasing or diminishirig the sxiace between the bell .and the
loAver cjdinder by turning a screw on the axis of the bell intended for that purpose,
until they produced the same effect upon the sand in the membrane of the artificial
ear, but in order to further be insured of the equality of the penetrating power of the
scA^eral whistles, the three steamers abreast, forming as it were a platoon, were directed .
to proceed against the wind, sounding all the time in regular succession; the Cactus
first, then, after an interval of a few seconds, the Mistletoe, and then the Putnam,
until the stationary observers lost the sound ofeach. They became inaudible all very
nearly at the same moment. The sound ofthe Piitnam Avas thought to be slightly less,
distinct; it Avas therefore chosen as a stationary vessel, from which the observations of
the sound of the other two were to be made.
The Putnam being anchored at the point before mentioned, arrangements Avere made
for sending off the other two vessels in opposite directions, one Avith and the other
against the wind, with instructions to return when the sound became inaudible to.
those on the stationary vessel, this to be indicated by a flag-signal. It should be mentioned that the velocity of the wind was.measured from time to time during the sub-,
sequent experiments with one of Robinson's hemispherical cup anemometers made by
Casella, of London. The velocity of the wind first observed by this instrument just
before the starting of the vessels was 6 miles per hour, the instrument being freely,
exposed on the paddle-boxes.of the steamer. A sensitive aneroid barometer marked
30.395 in., and continued to rise gradually during the day to 30.43 in.; the temperature
was 71° F.
The vessels left ait 11.18 a. m., the wind being from the west, Ca;ptain DaAds taking
charge of the sounding of the A\"his.tle on the Cactus, which proceeded east with the
wind, the sound coming to the ear ofthe observer against the Avind; Avhile the sound-,
ing on the Mistletoe was in charge of General Woodruff, and, as the vessel steamed
against the wind, the sound came to the observers on the stationary vessel with the
wind; the other members of the party remained on the Putnam, at anchor at the point;
before nientioned, off the Hook, Major Haines having charge of the signals. The sound
of the first of the vessels was heard faintly at 14 rainutes after leaving, but not heard
at 16 minutes; we may therefore assume that it became inaudible at 15 minutes.
And within a minute of the same time, by a mistake ofthe signal, the other ceased, to

while at the same moment the sound from the other Avas inaudible. On accouut of the
mistake mentioned, the relative distance at Avhich the sounds from the two vessels
might have become inaudible cannot be accurately given; but the fact observed, t h a t
the sound Avhich carae with the Avind Avas much more audible than the other, is in conformity Avith the generally observed fact that sound is heard farther with the wdnd
than against it. In the meantime the velocity of the wind had sunk to 1|- miles per hour.
^Next, the A^essels, leaving at 11.55 a. ra., changed xiositions; the Cactus, under Captain
Davis, steamed .west, directlj^ in the direction from which the wind came, while the
Mistletoe, under General Woodruff, steamed east, directly before the wind. The result
of this trial Avas Avell marked in all respects; the sound of the Mistletoe was lost i n .
9 minutes, which, from the speed of the steamer, Avas estimated at about l-^- miles,
Avhile the sound of the Cactus Avas heard distinctly for 30 minutes, or at an estimated
distance of 5 miles. The wind at the middle of this trial had sunk to .42 mile per.
hour, or nearly to a calm. The result of this trial w^as somewhat abnormal, for though
the Aviiid had sunk nearly to a calm, the sound was still heard three tiines as far in the
direction of the slight Avind as against it.
.
,
. After a lapse of an hour and a half a third trial was made ; in the mean time the
wind had changed Avithin two points of an exactly opposite direction, bloAving, frona
the indications of the anemometer, at the rate of ten and one-half miles per hour.
The Cactus again steamed in the eye of the wind, which was now, however, from
nearly an opposite point of the compass, w^hile the other vessel steamed in an opposite
direction. The sound of tbe Cactus Avas lost at the end of twenty-seven minutes, with
the wind, or at a distance of four aud a half miles.
The sound of the Mistletoe A ^s lost at the end of thirty minutes, or at a distance of
Aa
five miles, moAdng against a brisk wind then blowing.
This result was entirely unexpected and much surprised every member of the party,
since it was confidently expected that an increase in the intensity of the wind of more
than ten miles per hour, and a change to the'oxiposite direction, would materially affect
the audibility of the sound, and give a large result in favor of the sound, w^hich moved
in the same direction Avith the wdnd, but this was not the case. In the course of all the
observations in several years in w^hich iuA^estigations haA^e been carried on under the
direction of fche chairman of the board; this is the only instance in which he had
heard a sound afc a greater distance against the wind than Avith it, although, as before
stated, a number bf cases hay.e been reported by other observers in which, under peculiar conditions of the weather, this phenomenon has been observed.
To briefly recapitulate the results, we haA^e in this case three instances, in succession,
in which a sound was heard farther from the west than from the east, although in the
mean time the Avind had changed to nearly an opposite direction. Had these results
been deduced from the first observations made on the influence of Aviiid on sound,, or,
in other words, wdthout previous experience, the conclusion would have been definitely
reached that something else than wind affected the conveyance of sound, and this conclusion would have been correct, if the suggestion had been confined to the wind at
the surface; but from previous observations and theoretical conclusions, the observed
phenomena are readily accounted for by supposing t h a t during the whole time of observation the wind w^as blowing from the west in the higher part of the aerial current,
and that the calm and opposing wind observed were confined to the region near the
surface.-. To test this hypothesis. Major Haines constructed a balloon of tissue-paper,
which, after being completed, Avas unfortunately burned in the attempt to inflate it
with heated air.
.
The remainder of this day was devoted to observations on the sound of the siren
at the light-house at Sandy Hook. For this purpose the Cactus, under Captain Davis,
Avas directed to steam in the eye of the wind, while the Mistletoe, under General
Woodruff", steamed hefore the wind, and the Putnam steamed at right angles to the

wind. Unfortunately, on account of the diminution of light at the closing in of the
day, nothing could be observed. The only result obtained was that one of the dupli- '
cate sirens was heard more distinctly than the other, namely, the one with the higher
note.

was still farther out in the ocean, at the Sandy Hook light-vessel, 6 miles from the nearest
point of land. The pressure of the atmosphere Avas a little greater than the day before,
being 30.52; the temxierature about the same, 72° Fahr.; wind light, from a Avesterly
direction, as on the previous day, with a force, as indicated by the anemometer, of 1.2
miles per hour. Having been provided Avith a number of India-rubber toy balloons, the
tA\^o vessels Avere sent off in opposite directions—the Mistletoe toward the west, against
the Avind, the Cactus to ward the east, with the wind, leaA^ing at 10.40 a. m. A change Avas
also made iu observing the sound. In these observations the sound was noted at each
vessel from the other,, the speed of the stearaers being the same ; the distance betweeii
them Avhen the Mistletoe lost the sound ofthe Cactus was two miles, while the Cactus continued to hear the Mistletoe's sound coming with the wind until they were four miles
apart. Simultaneously with this observation a balloon w^as let off from the Putnam at th©
light-vessel, Avhich, in its ascent, moved continuously obliquely upward in aline slightly curving toAvard the horizon, in the direction of the wind at the surface, as far as it
could be followed with the eye, indicating a Avind in the same direction in the sevbral
strata through Avhich it passed, but of a greater velocity in the upper strata. •
The vessels now^ changed places, the Cactus steaming west, the Mistletoe east, the Avind
haAdng entirely ceased at the surface of tbe earth. In this case the Cactualost the sound
ofthe Mistletoe Avhen the A^essels were two miles apart, while the Mistletoe continued to
hear the sound of the Cactus until they were three miles apart. A balloon let off asceinded A^ertically until it attained an elevation of about 1,000 feet, when, turning east
it folloAved the direction of the previous one. The sound in this case from the east was
heard three miles, while that from the west was heard tw^o miles, while in the preceding observations the distances were as 2 to 1; the only changing element, as far as
could be observed, Avas that of the wind at the surface, Avhich became less.
Third trial, 12.45 p. m.—The wind previous to this trial had changed its direction 10
points or about 112^° round through the south, and as indicated by the anemometer
at a velocity of 4.8 miles per hour. In this case the Cactus, going against the wind,
lost the Mistletoe's sound coming to her against the wind when the vessels were 1
mile apart, while the Mistletoe heard the Cactus sound coming to her, with the Avind,
when the vessels were 1|- miles apart. The several balloons set oft" at this time were
carried by the surface Avind westAvardly until nearly lost to sight, Avhen they were
observed to turn east, following the direction of the wdnd observed in the earlier observations. The results of the whole series of observations are extremely interesting. In
all the experiments the difference in the audibility of the sound in diff'erent directions
was very marked, and indeed it rarely happens that the sound is equal in two directions, although from the hypothesis adopted this may be possible, since according to
this hypothesiSj both the upper and loAver currents have an influence uxion the audibility
of sound in certain directions. From the first trial the motion of the air being in the
same direction, both below and above, but xirobably more rapid above than below on
account, of resistance, the upper part of the sound-Avave would move more rapidly than
the lower, and the Avave would be deflected downw^ard, and therefore the sound as usual
heard farther with theA\dnd than against it. In the third experiment ofthe same day,
in which the wind changed to an almost opposite direction, if the wind remained the
same above, as we have reason to suppose it did from the observations on the balloons
on the second day, the sound should be heard still farther in the sarae direction or
against the wind at the surface, since, in this case, the sound-waA^e being more retarded
near the surface would be tipped over more above and the sound thus be thrown down.
The observations of the seco,nd day are also iu conformity with the same hypothesis,

the change in the wind being probably due to the heating.of the land as the day advanced, beyond the temperature of the Avater, and thus producing a current from the
latter to the former, while .the wind observed in the moruing from the west Avas the
land-wind due to the cooling of the latter.
»
'
I n the morning the wind was blowing from the west, both in the higher strata and
a t the surface of the earth, and in this condition the sound was heard farther Avith the
•Wind than a.gainst it.
. ^ '
The Avind at tlie surface about midday gradually ceased, aud shortly afterward
sprung up from an east direction ; in this conditibn the sbund, with the Avind at the
surface was heard at a greater distance. This is also in strict conformity with the
theory of a change in the form of the sound-Avave, as in the latter case the low^er portion AA^ould be retarded, while the upxier portion of the wave would be carried forward
with the same velocity, and hence the sound would be thrown down on the ear of the
observer. To explain the result of the third trial of the second day we have only t o
suppose that the influence of the upper current was less than that of the lower. The
conditions for these obsen'^ations Avere unusuaUy favorable, the weather continuing
the^same during the two days, and the change of the wind also taking place at nearly
the same hour.
The fact thus established is entirely incompatible with the supposition that the
diminution in the sound is principally caused by a want of homogeneity in the constitution of' the atmosphere, since this would operate to absorb sound equally in both
directions.
In May, 1873, Professor Tyndall commenced a series of investigations on the subject
of the transmission of sound, under the auspices of the Trinity House, of England, in
which whistles, trumxiets, guns, and a siren were used, the last-named instrument hav^
ing been lent by the Light-House Board of the Uriited States to the Trinity House for
the purpose of the experiments in question. The results of these investigations were,
in most respects, sirailar to those which we had previously obtained. In regard to the
efficiency of the instruments the same order was determined Avhich has been given in
this report, namely, the siren^, the trumpet, and the whistle. Professor Tyndall'sopinibn
as to the efficiency of the siren may be gathered from the.following remarks. Speaking of the obstruction of sound in its apxilication as a fog-signal, he says, " There is
but one solution of this difficulty, Avhich is to raake the source of sound so powerful as
to be able to endure loss and still retain sufficient residue for transraission. Of all the
instruraents liitherto examined by us the siren comes nearest to the fulfillment of this
condition, and its establishment upon our coasts will, in. my opinion, prove an incalculable boon to the manner.'' Professor Tyndall arrived at the conclusions which the
information w e had collected tended to establish, that the existence of fog, however
dense, does not materially interfere AA^ith the propagation of sound; and also tha.t sound
is generally heard farther with the wind than against it,, although the variation of the
intensity of the sound is not in all cases in x'>roportion to the velocity of the wind. The
result of his iuA^estigationsin regard to the xiitch of sound was also sirailar to those we
have given ; and, indeed, all the facts Avhich he has stated are, with a single exception as
t o t h e direction of the echo, in strict accordance with what we have repeatedly observed.
We regret to say, however, that we cannot subscribe to the conclusion which he draws
from bis exxieriments as to the cause of the retardation of sound, that it is due to a
flocculent condition of the atmosphere, caused by the intermingling wdth it of invisible aqueous A^axior.
That a flocculent conditibn of the atmosxihere, due to the A^arying density produced
by the mingling of aqueous vapor, is a true cause of obstruction in the transmission of
sonnd is a fact borne out by deduction from the x^rinciples of^wave-raotion, as Avell as
by the experiments of the distihguished physicist of the Royal Institution of Great Britain; but from all the observations Ave have raade on this subject we are far from thinking that this is the efficient cause of the x^henomena under consideration. A fatal objection, Ave think, to the truth of the hyxiothesis Professor Tyndall has adA^anced is that
the obstruction to the sound, whatever may be its nature, is not the same in different
LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD.
721
directions. We think we are warranted in asserting that in the cases of acoustic opacity which he has described, if he had simultaneously made observations in an opposite
direction, he would have come to a different conclusion. That a flocculent condition of
the atmosxihere should slightly obstruct the sound is not difficult to conceive ; .but t h a t
it should obstruct the ray in one direction and not in an opposite, or in a greater degree in one direction than in another, the stratum of air being the same in both cases,,
is afc variance with any fact in nature A\dth which we are acquainted. We would-.hesitate to speak so decidedly against the conclusions of Professor Tyndall, for whose clearness of conception of physical principles, skill in manixiulation, and power of logical
deduction Ave entertain the highest appreciation, were the facts which Avere obtained in
our investigations of a less explicit character.
While the phenomena in question are incompatible Avith the assumption of a flocculent atmosphere as a cause, they are in strict accordance Avith the hypothesis of the refraction of the waves of sound due to a difference in velocity in the upper and lower
portions of the currents of air. We do not say, however, that the transmission of sound
in the atmosxihere is fully investigated, or that the abnorraal phenomena which are said
to have been observed in connection with fog-signal stations have been fully, explained.
So far from this, we freely admit we are as yet in ignorance as to how the hypothesis we
have adopted is axixilicable to the critical explanation of the obstruction to sound in the
abnormal cases mentioned by General Duane. We feel, however, considerable confidence in its power to afford a rational explanation of these phenomena Avhen the conditions under which they exist shall have been accurately deterrained.
We are farther confirmed in our conclusion by the publication of an interesting xiaper
in the proceedings ofthe Royal Society by Professor Osborne Reynolds, of Owens College, Manchester, intended to show^ that sound is not absorbed by the condition ofthe
atmosphere, but refracted in a manner analogous to the hypothesis which has been
adoxited in the preceding report.
Much farther investigation is required to enable us to fully understand the effects of
winds on the obstruction of sound, and to determine the measure of the effect of variations of density in the air, due to inequality of heat and moisture. But such investigations can only be made under peculiar conditions of weather and favorable localities,
with the aid of a number of stearaers, and a series of observers, by. whom the transmissibility of the air may,be simultaneously observed iu different directions. • The
position which we were so fortunate to obtain in our experiments in the lower bay of
New York at the season of the prevalence of land and sea breezes was exceptionally
favorable for the study of the action of wind uxion sound. It is the intention ofthe
Light-House Board to continue observations in regard to this matter, and to embrace
every favorable opportunity for their xirosecution under new and varied conditions.
The value of these investigations can scarcely lie too highly, estimated in their bearing,
on the axix^lication of sound as an aid to navigation.

Octoher 1, 1874.
SIR : I have tbe lionor to submit the following rexiort of the oxierations of this office during the xiast year, aud of the xirogfess and condition of the xmblic works under its charge.
Sites for the x^rox:)osed xiublic buildings at Little Eock and Helena
have been purchased. It has, however, been found necessaiy to resort
to condemnation in order to obtain a valid title to the xiroxierty at Grand
Eaxiids. The amount apxiropriated for a site at Pittsburgh proved
inadequate for the purchase of sufficient property in an eligible locality.
Under these circunistances an offer of the citizens of that city to make
up the deficiency, and to pay the additional sum required, has been accepted, and instructions issued for the comxiletion of the condeumation
to which it has been necessary to resort. The xn'oceedings which,/ as
exxilaiued in my last report, were necessary to secure sites for the proxiosed buildings at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Utica, have been comxileted, and the property secured. The act authorizing the erection of a
Xiublic building at Albany axixiropriated the sum of $150,000 toward the
Xiurchase of a suitable site, on condition that the city should contribute
such additional amount as might be required. This, of course, rendered
it necessary for the Department and the city of Albany to agree on a
location, which,-in consequence of the difference of oxiinion ^existing
among the citizens, was a difficult task. A compromise was finally
effected, and a selection made, which, though by no means the best
that could have been made had the Department been at liberty'to act
independently, and though in my opinion too small, is in other respects
suitable, and was therefore accepted. I am, however, satisfied that it is
for the interests of the Government to purchase the adjoining xiroperty,
and recommend that authority be obtained for that purpose, as it can
undoubtedly be procured much cheaper now than at any subsequent period.
All efforts to x^m^chase the remainder of fhe post-office block in Boston
at a fair xirice having failed, proceedings in condemnation were resorted
to. The amount awarded by the jury was, however, considerably in
excess of the amount axixiroxiriated, and the proceedings were consequently abandoned. Negotiations have recently been renewed, and it
now appears probable that a satisfactory arrangement can be made with
the owners. The property originally xmrchased as a site for the customhouse atEvansville, Ind., having been found inadequate to permit of the

erection of such a building as the necessities of the Goverument service
require, additional property has been purchased, and arrangements
made to commence work as soon as the title is perfected.
The act approved February 21,1873, authorized the purchase of a
suitable site for the proposed public building in Memphis at a cost not
to exceed $25,000 in addition to the value of the lot in that city which
was purchased on June 6,1860, for that purpose, the value of which was
estimated at $15,000. I t was found, after a careful examination, that the
amount thus placed at the disposal of the Department was entirely
inadequate, and that no suitable x^i'opcrty could be procured for the
amount apxiropriated. Under these circumstances the city of Memxihis
off'ered to xiresent to the Government one of the most desirable blocks in
the city, the value of which cannot be estimated at less than $300,000.
This liberal offer has been accepted, and work will be" commenced
as soon as the title is perfected. All efforts to secure a snitable site for
the proposed public building at Jersey Oity, within the amount apxiroXiriated, namely, $100,000, have failed, and a careful investigation has
proved the necessity for an additional approxiriation. Jersey Oity is
rapidly increasing in population a^nd commercial importance, and -it is
evident that a much larger building than was contemxilated will be
required. The xmblic offices in that city are destitute of ordinary conveniences, and as-it is impossible to rent any building that will provide
proper accommodations, I recommend that authority be obtained to
purchase a suitable site and to commence work at the earliest possible
moment. The custom-house lot at Louisville is entirely too small, additional frontage on Green street being absolutely necessary for the x>rotection of the buildiug in case of fire, andofor the x^i'^sexvation of light
on one of its xirincixial fronts. The adjoining xiroxierty is now occuxiied
by small frame-buildings, which the owner proposes to rexilace at an
early day by a large warehouse. Should this be done the value and
safety of the custom-house building would be seriously impaired, and,
as the property can be bought for a small sum, I recommend that authority be obtained for its purchase.
The old custom-house lot at Norfolk has been sold at public auction,
the property being no longer required for Government xmilioses. The
marine-hospital property at New Orleans has been disposed of at private sale for the sum of $100,000, after having been offered at public
auction three times, when the highest bid that could be obtained was
$51,000. The marine-hospital x^i*operty at Pittsburgh has been twice
offered for sale, but withdrawn, the highest bid that could be procured
being unsatisfactory.
The custom-house, court-house, and post-office at Knoxville has been
completed and furnished within the amount of the axiproxiriation; it is
now occupied, and is one of the mo.^t substantial and convenient buildings owned by the Governnient, and though affording amxile and suitable accommodations for the transaction of the x'>iiblic business, is no
larger than is required. The custom-house, court-house, and post-office
at Portland, Oreg., is nearly completed, and is now being fitted for occupation, I desire, however, to renejv my recommendations that authority
be obtained for the erection in that city of a substantial brick building
for use as a custom-house, axipraiser's and public stores; The xiresent
building is remote from the commercial xiortion of the city, and is, therefore, unsuitable for customs xmrxioses, and a new building appears to be
indispensable to the proper transaction of the customs business. The
United States mint at San Francisco has been comxileted, the machinery
put in xilace, and the furnitare supxilied, and it is now.ready for occupa

tion. It gives me great pleasure to report that the Director of the Mint
expresses his entire satisfaction with the building, both as regards
arrangement and construction, and that itis, in his oxiinion, unsurpassed
in fitness for the purpose and in convenience by any mint in the world.
The court-house and post-office at Omaha is now finished, and will be
occupied as soon as the furniture can be supxilied, when it will afford
accommodation now much needed by the courts, the post-office, and the
other public offices in that city. The extension of the court-house and
post-office at Indianapolis is nearly completed, and is'partially occupied 5
it will, when finished, meet the xiresent necessities of th^ x>^^^^ic service,
but it is xirobable that it will be necessary, at no distant day, to add
another wing, which would render it a convenient as well as a substantial structure. The xiost-office and sub-treasury at Boston is xii'tictically
comxileted, and is partially occupied. It has x^roved, as anticipated by
me, entirely inadequate in size, and the necessity for the extension authorized by law is urgent, the transaction of the xmblic business in the
portion already comxileted involving very great inconvenience to the
officers for whose use it is intended, as well as to the public.
Work on the court-house and post-office in New "Zork has been pros-'
ecuted with rapidity and economy. The building is uow inclosed, and
will be completed and occuxiied before the close bf the present fiscal
year. The construction of the custom-house at Saint Louis has been
Xirosecuted with great energy and marked success, and under extraordinary difficulties, it having been found necessary to xiile the foundation
and to cover the entire excavation with a massive bed of concrete.
The retaining walls and the connection with the tunnel are finished,
the foundations laid, and a large xiortion of the basement walls comxileted. The facing of the basement,.sub-basement, and a portion of the
first story of the building will be of Missouri red granite, as exxilained
in my last report. This portion of the work is finished, as well as the
entire granite work for the "first story, and most of the second, wiiich
will render it xiossible to comxilete this important building at an early
date. Work has been continued on the north, south, and east fronts of
the custom-house at Chicago, and the west front commenced. The
first story and a large xiortion of the second will be comxileted during
the xiresent season, and the entire building will be placed uuder roof at
an early date should no unforeseen difficulties arise. The provisions
of the act of July 12, 1870, compelled a suspension of work on the
public building at Hartford during the principal xiart of the building
season, and it has therefore be'en imxiossible to make much progress. A contract for the granite work of the superstructure has
been entered into with the Clark's Island Granite Company, most
satisfactory, both as regards price and quality of material. The
court-house and post-office building at Columbia is rapidly approaching
completion. The granite-work has been finished, and is of excellent
character. The building presents a fine appearance, and will, I have no
doubt, be completed during the present fiscal year. Work on the courthouse and xiost-office at Trenton is proceeding ih a satisfactory manner,
^ and the material is of the best quality. A contract for the cut-stone
was entered into with Messrs. Prior & Sons, of Trenton, but all efforts
to obtain from them material of suitable quality having failed, the contract w^as canceled, their bond forfeited, and the amountof the penalty
collected. The stone is now obtained from Messrs. Worthington & Sons,
of Amherst, Ohio, is of excellent quality, and is cut under the immediate
direction of the suxierintendent. I desire again to call attention to the
lijnitation on the cost of this building, which will, if insisted ux>on, pre

vent the use of iron beams above the main stor^^, and earnestly'recommeud that authority be obtained for the completion ofthe buildiug iu a
Xiermanent and durable manner, and in harmony with the design and
exterior construction. In my last annual report I stated that the Department had been unable to obtain any suitable stone for the construction of the court-house and post-office at Ealeigh. I am now able to
report that these difficulties have been surmounted, and satisfactory
arrangements made for the suxixily of granite from quarries near Goldsborough; i t i s believed that no further difficulties will arise, and that
w^ork on the building will be comfileted without unnecessary delay.
Work on the custom-house at Eockland has been xirosecuted with good
results; it is now inclosed, and will be finished ad an early date next
sxiring. It is a simple, massive, and substantial structure of undressed
granite, and will xirovide amxile accommodations for the public service
at that port.
I desire to renew my recommendations in regard to the custom-house at
New Orleans. Many of the officers now occupying rooms in it are withoiit
ordinarj^ conveniences, and the courts are held in unfinished apartments
in which it is almost imxiossible to transact xmblic business. The basement has been comxileted, and adinirable accommodations provided for
the post-office and appraiser's department. This buildiug was, prior to
the war, under the control of a commission, who had entire charge of the
work, and made many and costly changes. Sii^ce the resumption of the
work its construction has been simxilified, and its cost reduced as far as
possible. The modifications have not, however, injured thebuilding, but
have improved its appearance and increased its convenience, audit will,
when comxileted, afford accommodations for every branch of the public
service in New Oiieans, the mint only excepted, and will also x^i'ovide
amxile room for the storage of bonded merchandise at that port. At
the time the building was designed it was sujixiosed that sufficient officeaccommodation could be provided in the principal story, and that the
basement and upper stories of the building would be used for warehouse
xmrposes. The increase of business since that time has, however, rendered it necessary to occupy the basement, the first and second stories
for offices, which has involved much additional work. The delay in comxileting it is adding very greatly to its cost.; and I earnestly recommendthat the necessary appropriation be obtaintd and the building comxileted at the earliest xiossible.moment. The W'ork on the customhouse
at Charleston has proceeded as raxiidly as the circumstances of the case
would permit. In my last annual report I stated that it could not be
completed within the limits fixed by law, and recommended that the
necessary appropriations be made. I desire to renew this recommendation, and to call attention to the fact that this office is uot responsible
for the cost of this building, the designs having been prepared and the
work prosecuted xifior to the war under the direction of a commission
appointed for the purpose, as in the case of the custom-house at New
Orleans. I have endeavored to reduce the cost to the lowest possible
point, and have so niodified the plans as to effect a saving of over half a
million dollars, and, in so doing, have not only increased its capacity and
added to its convenience, but have, I believe, improved its architecture,
and, as a consequence, its axipearance. The work had, however, reached
such a stage that it appeared impossible to make any further modifications without injuring the buildiug. There seems, therefore, to be no
alternative beyond leaving it in an unfinished condition or appropriating
the amouut necessary for its completion. It is undoubtedly much.more
ornate and costly than is required. It is at the same time so nearly fin

4shed and of so monumental a character that a.failure to complete it in
a xiroper manner could not be justified even, on the score of economy.
The foundations and the basement of the new appraiser's stores at
San Francisco, a work of more than ordinary difficulty, have been comxileted, and occupy one-half of the customhouse block, which was originally covered by the waters of the bay. It is, therefore, made land, and
as such is esxiecially affected by the earthquakes so comnion in that
portion of the country, and by which the customrhouse has been so. badly
shattered that it, was found necessary to take down the xiorticos, and
anchor it in all directions by massive iron rods. These repairs are, however, merely temporary in their character, and it must be rebuilt at an
early date or a new building erected in some more desirable location.
This building was erected on xiiles; some of which were driven to a
depth of eighty feet, but these foundations having proved a failure, I
determined to construct the foundation of the appraiser's stores upon a
dilferent plan, covering the surface to be occupied by the. building with
a massive bed of concrete, and anchoring the basement-walls securely
thereto, this xilan having been practically tested in the erection of the
new mint, and thus far with the best results. . I desire to renew my
recommendations that the building be completed as a xiublic and apXiraiser's stores, which would not only xirovide accommodations absolutely necessary to the proper enforcement of the revenue laws, but
would yield a revenue to the Government from storage. The location
is, as I have xireviously stated, undesirable for the xiost-office or United
States courts, being near the wharves and remote from the busiuess
center of the city. To fit it up for offices would therefore be but a temxiorary expedient, while as a warehouse it would be a permanent structure. Arrangements have been made to fit up the old mint as an office
ior the assistant treasurer, and the work will be commenced as soon
as the transfer of the mint to the new building is comxileted. This will,
however, be but a temporary arrangement, and it will be found necessary to provide the assistant treasurer with accommodations in the
custom-house building and to remove the x^ost-office from the customhouse to some more eiigible location at no distant day.
Work has been commenced on the court-house and post office at Philadelxihia J and on the custom-house at Cincinnati. The great size of these
buildings and ofthe new post-offices at New York and Boston, the custom-houses at Chicago and Saint Louis, and the new State, War, and.
Navy Department in this city, and the elaborate character of these
structures, has involved so great an expenditure of time and labor that
it has been found impossible to commence work on the xiroposed build:
ings at Covington, Nashville, Little Eock, and Dover, during the present
season. Arrangements have, however, been made that will insure their
comniencement as early next season as the weather will permit. Work
has been commenced on the xmblic building at Parkersburgh, and it is
now well advanced. The basement will be of Buena Vista freestone,
and the superstructure of brick, with dressings of Marietta freestone.
Advantageous arrangements for the supply of materials and labor for
the construction of the custom-house at Port Huron have been comxileted, and the work is now in progress. The basement is of limestone
from Sandusky, and the superstructure of Amherst freestone. The
work has been well and economically performed, and is of excellent
character. Work has been commenced on the public building at Lincoln, Nebraska, and the basement story comxileted. It was found as
stated iu my last annual report, impossible to obtain brick i^uitable for
facing in that locality, and as good rubble-stone could be procured at

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
fair rates, it was determined to construct the building of the latter material with cut-stone dressings. The fifst floor wiil be of iron beams
and brick arches. The remaining floors, and the roof, will be of substantial timber construction. This building being isolated from all others,
it is not, in my oxiinion, necessary to complete it as a fire-proof structure,
there being little danger to be apprehended from fire. Work on the
marine hosxiital at San Francisco has been commenced, and is now well
advanced. It wall be finished at an early date, and will, it is believed,
be one of the most comfortable and commodious x^avilion hospitals
in the United States.
A thorough system of ventilation has been introduced into the treasury building at New York City, noxirovision having been made therefor
in the construction of the building. The heating apxiaratus has also
been re-arranged, and much valuable sxiace formerly occuxned thereby
obtained for office xmrposes. I t i s now in excellent condition, and is one
of the most substantial and durable buildings in the x^QSsession of the
Government. Extensive improvements and repairs have been made to
the assay-office in New York, in order to meet the demands of the rapidly increasing business of that imxiortant branch of the public service^
A fine vault has been constructed, aud the portion of the building now
used as an assay-office thoroughly refitted. Should the business, however, continue to increase as rapidly as it now appears probable, the
entii:e building, including the portion now occuxiied as a banking-house,
will be required. The custom-house at Buffalo has been entirely remodeled, refurnished, and provided with a suitable heating and ventilating
apparatus, and. is now in excellent condition. It is, however, entirely
too small for the necessities of the public service, and must be extended
or rexilaced by a new building at no distant day.
The remodeling of the custom-house at Boston is rapidly approaching completion, and will provide amxile accommodations for the transaction of the customs business of that port. The heating apxiaratus^
has been entirely remodeled and arrangements made for the ventilation of the building, for which, heretofore, no adequate x^^ovision
had been made. The remodeling and refitting of the custom-house
at Bath have been commenced, and are now well advanced. It ha?s also
been provided with an improved steam-heating apxiaratus, and will be
a comfortable aud convenient structure, aud xirovide ample accommodations for the business of that port for many years to come. The remodeling, refitting, and repairs of the custom-house at Milwaukee have
been commenced, and are now well advanced toward completion. This
building, however, like the customhouses at Buffalo, Detroit," aud Cleveland, is entirely too small, and must be extended at no distant day, or
an additional building provided. The apxiroaches to the custom-house
at Burlington,Vt., have been completed and the building xilaced in thorough repair. The buildings at Plattsburgh, Springfield, 111., Ellsworth,
Salem, Newburyport, and Wilmington, Del., have been thoroughly refitted, and are nosv in good condition.
I desire to call special attention to the imxiortance of extending and
remodeling the custom-house at Pensacola, estimates for which were
submitted at the last session of Congress. The necessity for the improveuient is very great, and I trust that provision will be made for the
early comniencement of this important work. I also desire to call attention to the neccvssity for remodeling and improving the custom-house
at Louisville, Avhich is a large and substantial, though inconvenient,
building. The stairs are dark, inconvenient, and dangerous. I therefore recommend that an appropriation be obtained for this xmrxiose.

I desire to renew my recommendations that authority be obtained for
the xiurchase of the premises now owned by the Merchants' National
Bank of Baltimore, W'hich are a portion of the old Merchants' Exchange
building, the remainder of which was purchased many years since by the
Government for a custom-house and post-office. The portion now owned
by the Government is incomplete in itself, and, as additional space is
necessary, I most earnestly recommend that authority be obtained to
purchase the remaining portion at its appraised value, or by process of
condemnatinn. I have in my previous rexiorts called attention to the
great increase in the business of the xiort of New York; to the importance of making additional xirovision for the accommodation ofthe customs department in that city ; and to the fact that the xiresent customhouse would be, in a short time, entirely inadequate for, the transaction
of the public business. These opinions have been verified by experience,
and it has been found necessary to rent two large buildings on Exchange
Place, Beaver and Hanover streets, which have been fitted and arranged
for the naval office, and connected with the custom-house by a bridge'
across Exchange Place. This relief is, however, but temporary, the
custom-house being crowded to such an extent that it is impossible to
transact the business therein in a xiroper manner. Indeed, the interests
of the Government demand that a building .more than four times the
capacity of the x^i'eseiit one be provided for customs purposes. The
building now occupied, was, as is well known, originally constructed
for the Merchants' Exchange Company, and is not a suitable place for
the transaction of the business of the port of New York, the rooms
being, as a rule, small and insufficiently lighted. It cannot be exxiected
that officers can perform their duties in a satisfactory manner when
crowded into rooms that have neither proper ventilation nor adequate
light. Efforts have been made to remedy these evils, and W'hile they
have been measurably successful, the defects in construction are so radical that it is impossible to devise any adequate means of overcoming
them. I therefore recommend that authority be obtained to ascertain
the necessities of the public service, and procure, if possible, a suitable site for a new building. I also desire to call attention to the
importance of obtaining an appropriation for the erection of a bargeoffice on the Battery. An axipropriation for the purchase of a site
and the construction of a dock for the revenue-boats, and as a landing
place for foreign passengers, was made by the act approved March 2,
1867. The site has been purchased and the dock completed, and it is
now used by the revenue-service. No axiproxiriation has, however, been
made for the erection of the iiroposed barge-office, a building which is
indispensable to a xiroper enforcement of the customs-laws. The collector of customs has again called attention to the importance of such
provision, and I earnestly recommend that an axipropriation be obtained
therefor. In my last report I stated that the premises bounded by West,
Hubert, Washington, and Laight streets, were rented for the purposes of
the appraiser's department, and that the work of adapting them to the
requirements of the Government was then in xirogress. These improvements have been comxileted; the buildings are now occupied, and are
well adapted for the purxiose, but, though of greater capacity than the
old buildings, are still too small for the proper classification and transaction of the business of the appraiser's departraent, and should be extended, the lot being of amxile size. I therefore recommend that an
apxiropriation be procured for the pnrchase of the property, which can,
under the terms of the lease, be obtained for the sum specified therein,
at the axixiraised value, or by condemnation, at the option of the De-

.0
partment. The appraisal of the property recently made with a view to
determine the rent has proved that the price at which i t is offered is
much below its value. It appears, therefore, that advantage should be
taken of this option at au early day, there being, as far as advised, no
suitable property in the city of New Y^ork that can be obtained on such
advantageous terms.
I desire to renew my recommendations that an appropriation.be made
for the remodeling and extension of the marine hospital at Louisville.
The buildiug is, in its x>resent condition, unfit for hospital purposes, and
should be imxiroved or closed, which I should recommend, were it not
for the evident necessity for a marine hospital at that place, and the
beauty and eligibility of the location. The grounds are of ample size,
and the iinprovements contemplated, which consist in the erection of
detached xiavilion-wards for the patients, and the adaptation-of the
present building to executive purposes and wards for special cases,
would make it a comfortable and convenient hosxiital, and at a moderate
expense. I also desire to renew my recommendations that the hospital
at Detroit be sold, aud aitthorit}^ obtained to xmrchase with the proceeds
a more eligible site, and to erect thereon a cheap pavilion hospital, the
Xiroperty having become so valuable that it can be sold for a sufficient
sum. i t is in its xiresent, condition, like the hospital at Louisville, unfit
for hosxiital purxioses, and, if retained, must be improved and remodeled
at an expense fully equal to the cost of a new pavilion building.
The marine hospital at Pittsburgh has been twice offered at public
auction without a sale being effecied, as previously stated. It is, however, believed that it can be sold for a fair xince early in the coming
season.
I desire to renew my recommendations that an appropriation be made
for rebuilding the east front of the Treasury, an improvement the
necessity for which is, it aiipears to me, so xiressing as to admit of no
difference of oxiinion. It is at present so thoroughly' overcrowded, that
a building of more than twice the size would be required to accommodate in a xiroper manner those now emxiloyed therein. Eooms that were
originally designed for the accommodation of four persons are in many
instances occuxiied by more than twenty-five. This is particularly the
case in the x^art occupied by the female clerks of the Eegister's and
Treasurer's offices, in many portions of which the occupants are so
thoroughly packed that they have allotted to them for the xierformance
of their duties little more superficial and cubic space than the Government considers necessary for the transportation of emigrants and comXiels steamship comxianies to xirovide. It is, under such circumstances,
idle to talk of providing adequate ventilation, and it is equally idle to
expect persons to perform their duties in a proper manner. I also desire to call attention to the great importance of providing accommodations for the files of the Departnient, many tons of which are n'ow piled
in the public corridors, there being no rooms in which they can be
stored, and to the serious nuisance occasioned by the steam-machinery
now in the building. The Treasury was erected foi\official purposes, and
not for a manufacturing establishment, and cannot be used for the latter purpose without vitiating its atmosphere, affecting its value for its
legitimate purpose, and rendering a very large portion comparatively
.useless for offices. I therefore respectfully renew my recommendations
that authority be obtained for the erection of a fire-proof brick building
for the files of the Dexiartment, for the Printing Bureau, and for the
accommodation of such branches ofthe Treasury Department as can be
removed from the Treasury without inconvenience to the xmblic service.
SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.

I desire once more to call attention to the necessity of adopting some
general system in regard to quarantine stations, and the storage of
goods quarantined under State regulations. The Department has, at
present, extensive stations near Philadelphia and New Orleans, which
require considerable expenditures for their preservation, and are not, as
far as 1 have been able to ascertain, needed at those ports. If such accommodations are, however, necessary at New Orleans andPhiladelxihia,
they are certainly needed in a greater degree at the more important
ports of New York, .Boston, and Baltimore. I would, therefore, very
respectfully suggest that the subject be investigated, and a decision made
as to the necessity for such buildings.
In my last annual report I called attention to the unjust aud unequal
operations of the law known as the '' eight hour law," and to the fact
that mechanics and laborers employed directly by the Government were
entitled to sxiecial privileges from which those who perform work forthe
Government through the medium of a contractor or manufacturer were
excluded, and, to the manifest injustice of such discriminations, many
mechanics being necessarily compelled, from the character of the work
on which they are employed, to work for the Government in such a manner.
I called attention to the fact that the xiractical effect of thelaw was to constitute those whose names are carried on the Government rolls a favorite
class, though numbering less than one-tenth of those who are engaged
in performing work or producing material for Government use, and I
do not think that any good reason can be given wh/mechanics and laborers employed by the Government should be favored at the expense of
all others ; and I desire once more to place on record my^ opinions that
the law is oppressive and unjust, as well as injurious to the xmblic service, and that all should be entitled to equal privileges and equal pay,
and that eight hours should constitute a day's work for all, or that those
emxiloyed and paid by the Government should bcirequired to perform the
same amount of labor that is performed by other mechanics and laborers
in order to entitle them to the same compensation. It needs no argument to xirove that I can have no objection whatever, either personally or
professionally, to any reduction in the hours of labor, provided they are
made nniform, and apx^lied to both xmblic and private works. It is, however, a matter of some importance to the Supervising Architect whether
the cost of work performed tinder his supervision is increased twenty-five
Xier cent, over and above the cost of similar work performed for private
parties, when he is thereby subjected to misrepresentation on account
of this increased cost. I therefore desire to state explicitly that my objections are not to the reduction of the hours of labor, but to legislation
that creates among workingmen a special and favored class." If anyplan can be devised that will extend the operations of the eight-hour
law to all, I would very gladly recommend it. This appears, however,
to be impracticable, and for that reason I recommend the repeal of
the eight-hour law as the only means of xilacing employes on public
and private works on an equal footing.
I also desire to call attention to the fact that the Government has
commenced every building of unusual size and cost outside the District
of Columbia the necessity for which can be at xiresent foreseen, excepting the custom-houses at New York and Pittsburgh and the court-houses
and post-offices at San Francisco and Brooklyn. Beyond these, uo
probability exists that any buildings of great magnitude and cost will
be required for many years to come. The buildings now in xirogress
are generally well advanced toward completion, and as two of the more
important will be comxileted during the present fiscal year, it will be
734

seenthat the estimates for public buildings have reached the maximum,
and. will, on the comxiletion of the large buildings now in progress,
diminish very .rapidly. I also desire to call attention to the fact that
the remodeling of the old buildings, which has been found necessary
to adapt them to the wants of ^the* service,, is nearly completed; to the
fact- that the xmblic buildings are in better condition than ever before,
and that the buildings novr in progress are of so substantial and permanent a character that they will require, after completion, very small
expenditures to keexi them in proper condition.
Very respectfullv,
