During the fifteen years' existence of the loan there were received
and canceled $77,480,700 coupon bonds for which an equal amount of
registered bonds was issued, and there were retired by purchase or redemption prior to April 1,1891, $168,039,300 registered and $28,106,450
coupon bonds. The amount outstanding April 1, was, therefore,
$53,854,250, of-which $41,037,550 were registered and $12,816,700
coupon bonds. These by their terms were redeemable at the pleasure
of the United States after September 1, 1891, and were being received
for redemption, with interest to that date, in pursuance of a circular
issued by my predecessor October 9, 1890. The bonds so redeemed
were paid from the surplus revenues, .under section 2 of the act of
March 3, 1881, the sinking fund for the current year having been completed by purchases and redemptions of 4 per cent, and 4^ per cent,
bonds during July and August, 1890,
In view of the requirements of the sinking fund for the fiscal year
1892, it was deemed advisable to suspend the redemption of 4 J per cent,
bonds until after that year should begin, and a circular was therefore
published, under date of April 25, 1891, rescinding that under which
the bonds were then being redeemed and reserving the residue of the
4 J per cent, loan for adjustment within the fiscal year 1892. There had
been presented for redemption in April,,prior to the issuance of the circular above mentioned, $2,985,050, and the amount outstanding subject
to settlement at the option of the Government after September 1, 1891^
was therefore $50,869,200, consisting of $39,202,300 registered and
$11,666,900 coupon bonds.

XXVll
STearly twenty-six and one-half millions of the registered bonds were
deposited with the Treasurer of the United States as security for circulation and j)ublic moneys, and many of the banks to which they belonged would be obliged to replace them with other bonds at great
expense or go into liquidation whenever it should be necessary that
the 4J per cents be surrendered. It was apparent, therefore, that an
unqualified call for the redemption of the loan, fixing its maturity in
September, would iDroject a disturbing element into the finances of the
country at a time when its resources are usually severely taxed by the
movement of agricultural products. In the desire to avoid monetary
disturbance during this critical period, and in the hope that the volume
of money in circulation might be increased at an opportune time,
through the cooperation,of the banks, the, holders of the bonds were
offered their choice of presenting them for redemption with interest to
September 2, 1891, or for continuance at the pleasure of the Government with interest at 2 per cent, per annum after that date. Under
this proposal there were presented prior to September 2 for continuance $23,414,000, of which $20,007,100 were deposited with the Treasurer of the United States as security for circulation and $2,158,000 for
deposits. But it was found that some owners of 4i per cent, bonds
who desired their continuance were unable to take the necessary steps
to that end within the prescribed time, and an extension of the time to
September 30 was therefore granted. On that day the total amount of
bonds which had been presented for continuance was $25,412,200, leaving for redemption $25,457,000, of which $17,940,100 were presented
and paid during the month of September, There were also redeemed
in that month, to correct an error made b y t h e owner, $47,700 continued bonds, and the amount now outstanding on interest at 2 per

PUBLIC MONEYS,
The monetary transactions of the Government have been conducted
through the Treasurer of the United States, nine sub-treasury officers,
and two hundred and thirteen national bank depositaries. The number of such depositaries on November 1, 1891, was one hundred and
eighty-three, and the amount of public moneys held by them on that
date, including those to credit of the Treasurer's general account and
United States disbursing officers, was $20,106,876.92, a reduction since
. E'ovember 1, 1890, in number of twenty-one, and in amount of holdings
of $9,'830,810,-76o

in order to avoid disturbing the business of the people. Further withdrawals will be made from time to time when it can be done without
detriment to business interests until the holdings of national bank dejDOsitaries shall have been reduced to the amount needed for the proper
transaction of public business.
CIRCULATION.
This important subject has been unusually prominent since the last
annual report. The stringency in the money market during the summer and autumn of 1890 was relieved by the prompt and effective
measures of my predecessor, and happily disappeared without producing the grave consequences which were feared by the public j but its
existence, and the widespread apprehension which it caused, induced
a revival of the erroneous idea that the volume of money in circulation
was not only inadequate to the needs of the country, but was very
much less per capita than during the so-called flush times which followed the civil war.
The ^'circulation statement'' which has been published b y t h e Department monthly since April 1, 1887, contains in tabular form full
information on this subject for the dates specified, and has proved to
be a valuable addition to.the regular reports of the Department; but
in the absence of statements in the same form for the preceding years a
comparison by the people has been impracticable, and the mistaken
opinion that there has been a severe contraction of the money volume
found ready acceptance. This fact became apparent through letters
which were received from all sections of the country, and more complete information on the subject was accordingly supplied by means of
a statement which was printed in August last, and has been sent by
mail to those who ask for it. The tables therein published appear in
their appropriate place in this report,* and are reproduced without
change, except as to the table for July 1, 1891, which displays the revised figures for that date, including bullion in the Treasury. By the
revision of these figures, the.amount of money per capita July 1, 1891,
has been found to be $23.41, instead of $23.45.
The amount of money in circulation has been very largely increased
since the close of the fiscal year. The amount July 1, 1891, was
$1,497,440,707, and the amount per capita was $23.41. The return of
gold to the United States, the operation of the Silver Act of July 14,
1890, and disbursements by the Treasury on account of the four and
one-half per cent, loan, pensions, etc., have enlarged the volume to
$1,577,262,070, and the per capita amount to $24,38. The amount of

purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, 27^292,475; and from tradedollar bullion, 200,000, a total of 36,232,802 silver dollars, upon which
the seigniorage, or profit, was $6,221,333.42. The profit on the subsidiary silver coinage of the year was $92,434.48, a total seigniorage of
$6,313,767.90.
The total coinage of silver dollars under the act of 1878, from March
1, 1878, to the close of such coinage, has been $378,166,793.
The net profit on the coinage of silver during the thirteen years
ended June 30, 1891, including the balances in the coinage mints on
July 1, 1878, has aggregated $71,952,390.25.
Bars.
In addition to the coinage, gold bars were manufactured of the value
of $31,165,541.77, ^nd silver bars of the value of $8,437,657.65, a total
of $39,603,199.42.
Purchases of silver.
The amount of silver purchased from July 1 to August 13, 1890,
under the provisions of the act of February 28, 1878, aggregated
3,108,199.47 standard ounces, costing $3,049,426.46, an average of
$1.09 per fine ounce.
The total amount of silver bullion purchased under the act of February 28,1878, from the commencement, March 1,1878, to the end, August
13, 1890, was 323,635,576.19 standard ounces, costing $308,199,261^71,
an average cost of $1,058 per fine ounce.
«
The amount of silver purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, from
August 13, 1890, to June 30, 1891, aggregated 53,770,125.61 standard
ounces, costing $50,577,498.44, an average cost of $1,045 per fine ounce.
The total amount of silver purchased during the fiscal year under
both acts—February 28, 1878, and July 14, 1890—was 56,878,325.08
standard ounces, costing $53,626,924.90, an average cost of $1.04f per
fine ounce.
The total amount of silver purchased under the act of July 14, 1890,
from-August 13,1890, to November 1,1891, was Q^Q.bSS^bZ^ fine ounces
costing $68,626,565, an average cost of $1.03 per fine ounce.
Eecoinage of trade-dollar bullion.
The act of March 3, 1891, directed the Secretary of the Treasury to
coin the trade-dollar bullion into silver dollars as soon as practicable.
Under the act authorizing the redemption of trade dollars (March 3,
PRECIOUS METALS.
XXXI
1887), it was left discretionary with the Secretary to coin this bullion
into either silver dollars or subsidiary silver coins, and the discretion
had been exercised in favor of subsidiary silver coins.
The balance pf trade-dollar bullion on hand June 30, 1891, stored at
the mints at Philadelphia and 'New Orleans, was 4,193,756.12 standard
ounces/ of the value of $4,822,658.90.
As soon as the mandatory coinage of silver dollars, required by the
act of July 14, 1890, ceased by limitation of law, the conversion of the
trade-dollar bullion into silver dollars was commenced.
The total number of silver dollars coined from trade-dollar bullion
to I^ovember 1, has been $3,260,100. This coinage will be completed
during the present calendar year.
Frice of silver.
The price of silver fluctuated during the last fiscal year from $0,964
to $1.21 per fine ounce, a variation of nearly 25 cents an ounce.
At the commencement of the fiscal year the price in New York was
$1.05 per ounce; by July 14, 1890, the date of the passage of the new
silver law, the price had advanced to $1.08 per ounce, and by August
13, the date the new silver law was to take effect, to $1.14 per ounce.
The highest price reached in New York was on August 19,1890—$1.21
per fine ounce. In September a decline commenced, extending to the
end of the calendar year, when the price had touched $1.04J. The
closing price, June 30, 1891, was $1.01 J per fine ounce. The price at
this date—November 1, 1891—is $0.96.
The average priceof silver during the year, based upon Londou
quotations, was $1,045 a fine ounce, and upon New York quotations,
$1,053 a fine ounce, an average difference of nearly 1 cent an ounce.
The exports of silver from London to India during the first nine
months .of the present calendar year show a falling off of $17,020,730,
over.50 per cent, as compared with the same months for the previous
year.
Imports and exports.
The loss of gold by net export during the fiscal year was $67,946,768,
while there was a gain of silver by excess of imports over exports
amounting to $2,745,365.
The loss of gold by export was materially larger during the last fiscal year than in any recent year. The heavy movement commenced in
February, 1891, and did not cease until the close of July. The total
amount exported from the port of New York duriiig this period was
$70,223,494,31,
XXXII
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
It is gratifying to report that a return movement of gold is well
under way, which has aggregated, since the 1st of July, at the port of
New York alone, $27,854,000, and it is believed that owing to the large
exports of breadstuffs and other materials from the United States, this
fall and winter, the movement of gold to this country will continue for
some months, and in increasing amounts.
In the Eeport of the Director of the Mint will be found an article
treating in detail of the movement of gold from the United States, and
pointing out some of the causes w^hich are believed to have operated
to produce the same.
Earnings and expenditures.
The total expenditures for the support of the Mint Service for the
last fiscal year aggregated $1,335,910.
The total earnings of the mints and assay offices, from all sources,
was $7,650,529.62, and the total expenditures and losses of all kinds,
$1,661,139.83, a net profit of earnings over expenditures of $5,989,389.79.

Use t f gold and silver in the arts and manufactures. ..
According to information gathered by the Bureau of the Mint, the
value of the gold and silver used in the industrial arts in the United
States during the last year was, approximately: Gold, $18,000,000,
and silver, $9,000,000, of which $10,700,000 gold and $7,140,000 silver
was new l^ullion.
Legislation recommended—Eecoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the
Treasury.
In the last report of the Secretary of the Treasury attention was
directed to the large stock of subsidiary silver coins in the Treasury
Avhich, through abrasion or mutilation, were unfit for circulation, ot
else of denominations for which there was no popular demand^ and it
was recommended that authority be granted to recoin this uncurrent
coin into new coins, and to reimburse the Treasury for the loss of
metal incident to such recoinage from the large profits which have
been made by the Government on the manufacture afid issue of silver coins of a nominal value in excess of the cost of the bullion contained
in them.
Such a provision was inserted by the House of Eepresentatives in
the sundry civil appropriation bill, for the fiscal year 1892, but the
provision Avas stricken out in the Senate, and, in lieu thereof, an appropriation of $150,000 was made for such recoinage.
Under this liberal appropriation a large amount of uncurrent silver
coins in the Treasury has been recoined into dimes and quarter-dollars, and such recoinage is still in progress.
The face value of the silver coins transferred from the Treasury to
the mints for recoinage under this appropriation has been $3,858,958,
upon which the loss of metal, representing abrasion from wear, and
reimbursed the Treasurer from the above appropriation, was $115,055
a loss of about 3 per cent. It was thought that the loss would be
^bout 5 per cent.,^and th^t the ap|)ro|)yiatiQn of |150^000 WQ^ld Oaabif

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
the Department to recoin about $3,000,000. By careful and economical
work upon the part of the mints the loss has been reduced considerably
below this figure, and it is believed that the current appropriation will
enable the mints to recoin $5,000,000.
The beneficial results of this recoinage are shown by the fact that
the amount of subsidiary silver coin in the Treasury at the commencement of the last fiscal year, all of which was classed as an '^ unavailable
asset," was $22,805,225, while the amount in the Treasury at'the present time is $15,196,379, a reduction of $7,608,846.
In view of the importance of relieving the Treasury of this incubus
of uncurrent coins, as well as to provide change money in an attractive
form, I renew the re'commendation of my predecessor that authority
be given to reimburse the Treasurer for the loss of metal incident to
the recoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury, from the ^' silver profit fund," or else that a permanent annual appropriation for
recoinage be made. If, however, this should not meet with favor at
the hands of Congress, I most urgently recommend an immediate appropriation of $100,000 for continuing the recoinage of uncurrent silver
coins in the Treasury.
In pursuance of the authority contained in the act of September 26,
1891, the Director of the Mint has prepared new designs for the
subsidiary silver coins of the United States, which are believed to be
a decided improvement upon those now in existence, and with a liberal
appropriation for recoinage it is believed that a large amount of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury can be profitably converted into
new coins bearing the new designs, and that they will be readily
absorbed in circulation.
New mint at Philadelphia.
In accordance with the recommendation of Secretary Windom in his
last annual report, Congress, by an act approved March 3, 1891, authorized the purchase of a site and the erection of a new building for
the mint at Philadelphia, at a cost not to exceed $2,000,000; but as
the law made no appropriation to carry its provisions into effect, no
action has been taken thereunder which would involve an expenditure
of money from the Treasury.
At my request, however, Messrs. E. H. Fitler, Samuel Gustine
Thompson, Anthony J. Drexel, William M. Singerly, James H.
Windrim, Alexander K. McClure, and A. C. Bosbyshell consented to
serve as a commission without, compensation to recommend a suitable
site for the proposed building, and on September 8, 1891, they unani-'
mously recommended a site at a cost not to exceed $800,000,
NATIONAL BANKS.
XXXV
The necessity of better and enla'^rged facilities for the mint is apparent,
and I again recommend the subject to the early and favorable consideration of Congress.
.^
It is believed that the valuable site now occupied by the mint at
Philadelphia will sell, at the date the new mint can be comj)leted, for a
suiri approximating the entire cost of a new site and building.
NATIONAL BANKS.
The report of the Comptroller of the Currency* gives full information
in relation to the organization, supervision, and liquidation of national
banks during the year ending October 31, 1891. In this period 193
associations were organized, with capital aggregating $20,700,000, thus
exhibiting a growth of the national system largely in excess of the annual average for past years. During the same period 41 associations
went into voluntary liquidation and 25 became insolvent, leaving as a
net gain for the twelve-month 127 banks, with a capital of $12,553,000.
The administration by the Comptroller of the affairs of suspended
banks has been characterized by a wise regard to the interests of all
concerned; and of the number of banks closed during the year, 7 have
been reopened for business, their solvency having been restored by the
voluntary contribution of funds by the stockholders.
The number of banks in operation October 31, 1891, was 3,694,
having in capital stock $684,755,865; bonds deposited to secure circulation, $152,113,850; banknotes outstanding, $171,368,948, including $35,430,721 represented by lawful money deposited for their redemption. Their gross circulation, including notes of gold banks and
those of failed and liquidated associations, has decreased $7,571,085
during the year, while that secured by pledge of bonds has increased
$11,795,101.
The domestic exchange drawn by national banks for the year ending
June 30, 1891, is stated at $12,782,212,495, an increase over thepreceding year of more than 11 per cent.
/
The last report of condition exhibits the liabilities and resources of
the banks on September 25, 1891. At that date 3,677 associations reported an aggregate capital of $677,426,870; surplus, $227,576,486;
and undivided profits, $103,284,674. The gross deposits, including
amounts due to banks, are stated at $2,039,180,188.12, and loans and
discounts at $1,989,354,239, an increase in both items over any previous date. These ba^ks held $174,907,550 in United States bonds, of
which $150,035,600 were to secure circulating notes ; also $183,515,076
in specie,-$97;615,608 in legal-tender notes, and $15,720,000 in United
States certificates of deposit.
* See Appendix, page 318o
XXXVI
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Of the new associations, 99 are located west of the Mississippi Eiver
and 59 in the southern states.
The present has been more disastrous than any former year as to the
number of failures, but not as to the amount of capital and liabilities
involved.
More than one-half in number of the banks that became insolvent
during the period covered by the report of the Comptroller were located in two western states, and their insolvency was chiefly due to the
effects bf four successive crop failures, while the severe depression of
business which followed the stringency of last year influenced in a
great degree the failures that occurred in other parts of the country.
It is shown that of the total number of national banks organized
only Si per cent, have become insolvent during a period of 29 years,
and that the annual average loss to creditors during that time has been
only one-twentieth of 1 per cent, of their average liability.
The affairs of 102 insolvent banks have been finally closed, at an
average expense of 9.28 per cent,, with an average dividend to creditors of 74.17 per cent. Those closed during the last five years have
divided among creditors 90.65 per cent., at an average cost for expenses
of 4.08 per cent. It is believed that no other system can show equally
favorable results.
I invite favorable attention to the recommendations of the Comptroller
that the present law be so amended as to provide (1) that no association shall be requiied to maintain a bond deposit of more than $1,000
to secure circulation; (2)^that'every association may issue circulating
notes equal to the par value of the bonds so deposited; (3) that the
monthly withdrawal of bonds pledged to secure such notes shall not
exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate; and (4) that the semi-annual duty
on circulation be so reduced as to equal one-fourth of 1 per cent.
Attention is also invited to the suggestions qf the Comptroller that
supervising and assistant examiners be appointed, and that all exam-,
iners be required to take an oath of office, and give such bonds as the
Comptroller may prescribe. His suggestion as to the necessity for legislation more clearly defining the duties of directors, and further restricting the accommodations which may be lawfully afforded to officers and
directors by way of loans and discounts, is especially commended to the
consideration of the Congress.
Three loan and trust companies, doing'business ini3he District of
Columbia, haye availed themselves of the provisions of an act of Congress entitled ^^An act to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan,

TARIFF AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
XXXVII
TARIFF AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
At my request the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics has prepared a
special report on our foreign commerce for comparative periods under
the old and new tariffs, -^hich furnishes a striking exhibit of the practical effect of the new law.
The existing tariff went into effect as .to most of its provisions on the
6th of October, 1890. Under its operations during the twelve months
ending September 30, 1891, the first five days of October being under
the old tariff, the value of imports of merchandise was $824,716,507, an
increase of $11,247,116 over the value of imports of the corresponding
months of the preceding year. Of this total the value of free goods was
$397,352,107, anincrease of $118,092,436 over the value of free imports
during the corresponding months of the previous year. The proportion of merchandise admitted free was 48.18 per cent, of the total importation, as against 34.32 per cent. for. the preceding year, thus, exceeding the proportion of free goods under any previous tariff for a
corresponding period.
For the six months ending September 30,1891, during which sugar has
been admitted free, the iDroportion of free importations was 55,37 per
cent., as against 33.27 per cent, for the corresponding months of the
preceding year.
•
^
For six months ending March 31,1891, when sugar wa^ dutiable under
the new tariff, the free importations were 40.68 per cent., and for the
corresponding period of the preceding year, under the old tariff, they
were 35.18 per cent, of the total importations.
The articles now admitted free of duty are chiefly necessaries of life,
such as sugar, tea, coffee, and other articles which are not largely
produced in this country, and do not successfully compete with our
domestic productions.
The removal of the duty on sugar has reduced its price to the consumer, and this result is not in conflict with the doctrine of protection
to home industries, because the limited domestic production of sugar
under the most favorable protective rates was not sufficient to influence
the price in the home market.,
^
The report of the Chief of the-Bureau of Statistics is accompanied
by tables showing that prices to the consumer of manufactured articles, as a rule, have not been increased, but have been reduced.
The receipts from customs for the year ending September 30, 1891,
during the last six months of which^sugar was free, were $196,279,654.60,
as against $238,784,929.71 for the preceding year, a decrease of $42,505,275.11.
XXXVIII
REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E
TREASURY.
During the twelve months ending September 30, the value of our
exports of merchandise was $923,091,136, as against $860,177,115 for
the previous twelve months, an increase of $62,914,021.
Under the operations of the new tariff the customs revenue has been
decreased as far as is consistent with the current needs of the Government. By the readjustment of duties in the line of protection to
American labor and American industries, the free list has been enlarged
by the addition of articles which from climatic or other conditions are
not produced profitably, nor extensively, in this country ;\adequate
protective duties have been imposed upon articles that come into
competition with our own productions; new industries have been
established and others stimulated, thereby giving increased employment to American labor, and better control of our home market to
our own people ; and the price of nearly every article of common consumption has been reduced to the consumer.
Inasmuch as a considerable portion of our revenues must be derived
from duties on imports, it is the part of wisdom and patriotism to so
adjust the rates as to have regard first to the interests of our own people and the rightful demands of American labor for remunerative
wages.
,
I do not believe that any considerable number of the people desire
to see our manufacturing industries destroyed, or wages reduced to the
European basis, which would be the inevitable result of a reduction
of duties with a view to revenue only.
A comparison of the prices of goods imported respectively under
the old and new tariffs where rates have been increased will demonstrate
that the tariff is a tax upon the foreign competitor in our markets in
the sale of such articles as are extensively produced here, and that the
duties are in fact thus deducted from the foreign market value, and are
paid by the foreigner as a tax for the privilege of selling his goods here
at prices fixed by our own people competing among themselves in their
own market.
Legislation recommended.
^ I invite attention to, and earnestly renew, the recommendations of
my predecessor concerning needed amendments to the laws relating to
the administration of the customs service. I quote from his last annual
report: '
First. The increase of the permanent appropriation for the expense of collecting the
revenne from cnstoms.
c
For many years the fnnd available for defraying the expenses of collecting--the
revenue from customs has been insufficient to cover such expenses, and the Department
T A R I F F AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
XXXIX
has been unable to employ a sufficient force to properly collect the revenue and guard
against evasions. It is false economy to refuse the means to insure the enforcement of
the laws upon which depend the revenues of the Government. The Department is
almost daily compelled to refuse expenditures absolutely necessary to such enforcement. On this subject, the following is quoted from the Secretary's last annual report:
"Serious embarrassments have occurred several times through deficiency in this appropriation, which has proved insufficient to defray the necessary expenses of collection,
the average annual cost of which exceeds $7,000,000.
' 'The fund at disposal is derived from the permanent annual appropriation of $5,500,000
made by the act ofMarch 3, 1871, 'and in addition thereto such sums as may be received from fines, penalties, and forfeitures connected with the customs, and from fees
paid into the Treasury by customs officers, and from storage, cartage, drayage, labor,
and services,' which on the date of the passage of the act amounted to nearly
$2,000,000.
"Since that time the annual receipts from these sources have diminished about
$1,000,000, in consequence of legislation affecting fines, penalties, and forfeitures, and
the abolition of many of the official fees.''
The rapid growth of the country, the opening of an immense line of unguarded
frontier by the building of railways and the creation of new ports, make the need bf
legislation on this subject more imperative than ever before.
Second. The compensation of all collectors of customs by fixed salaries, and the
a"bolishment of all fees, commissions, perquisites, a^nd emoluments.
This is necessary to secure uniformity and the proper adjustment of the compensation
of these officers commensurate with their duties and responsibilities.
Under the present system the emoluments of some collectors are excessive while in
other cases they are inadequate.
Third, The consolidation of customs districts, demanded alike for reasons of economy
and the changed condition of commerce and transportation.
This might be accomplished by authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to change
the boundaries of customs districts, or to abolish districts when the expenditures exceed
th^e receipts therein.
Fourth. The abolishment of oaths to monthly accounts of customs employes as unnecessary and as subjecting these^officers to useless expense.
Fifth. The repeal of the laws requiring bonds to be given by individval importers
upon the entry of merchandise for warehouse, and for the return of packages not
• designated for examination and delivered to importers in advance of appraisement and
• liquidation of duties.
In the case of warehouse bonds the Government is amply protected by the possession
of the merchandise, and the so-called '' return bonds'' are found in practice to serve
no valuable end. The taking of these useless bonds involves a large expense without
any compensating benefit.
Sixth. The revision and codification of the customs laws.
These laws are now scattered through the statutes, and should be brought together,
revised, and reenacted in one harmonious code.
Seventh. Legislation to secure railway statistics of foreign commerce.
It" is indispensable to a proper record and exposition of the foreign commerce of the
^, United States that railway carriers of merchandise should be required by law to render
such statistical returns as are required of carriers of freight by water..
XL
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY.
Any attempt to completely exhibit the foreign trade of the country is largely neutralized and frustrated at present by the necessity of merely estimating "the greater
part of such trade conducted by rail.
These recommendations have been made, in whole t)r in part, by
every Secretary of the Treasury of both political parties during the
last ten years, and their importance can not be over estimated.
It is certainly unwise to neglect to furnish adequate means for the
efficient collection and protection of the customs revenue, which is
required to defray a considerable part of the expenses of the Government. The changes of twenty years, since the present provision for defraying the expenses of collecting the revenue from customs was made,'
necessitate new legislation on the subject.
In the development of the Northwest new customs districts and ports
have been created, both on the ocean and frontier; many new interior
ports have been established; but the fund at the disposal of the Department for paying the expenses of customs collection and administration,
which in 1871 was about $7,500,000, has been reduced by legislation
affecting fines and fees until there is now but little over $6,000,000 applicable to this purpose, while the actual expense is nearly a million
more. This insufficient appropriation embarrasses efficient administration of tiie customs laws, to the manifest detriment of the revenue.
In this connection I call attention to the report of the'Supervising
Special Agent,* showing the inadequacy of the present force of customs
officers for the protection of the revenue on the Mexican and Canadian
frontiers, which force can not be augmented with the present insufficient
appropriation.
'^
I renew the recommendation made by my predecessor, in the last
annual report, that section 8 of the Customs Administrative Act be
repealed. Further experience has demonstrated the impracticability
of administering this sectit>n. It is a constant source of irritation, and
serves no useful purpose in ascertaining dutiable values.
Section 15 of the same act should be so amended as to authorize the
taking of testimony now required to be taken by the General Appraisers by commissioners appointed for that purpose by the court,
as well as by the General Appraisers, as now provided by law. This
is necessa;ry for the reason that the time of the General Appraisers is
so fully occupied with their duties at the port of New York that they
are unable to give proper attention to the demands of other ports in
this regard.
I also renew the recommendation that that part of section 19 which
imposes additional duties on unusual coverings be modified so that
^
See Appendix, page 849.
TARIFF AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
XLI
such coverings shall pay but a single duty at the rate to which they
would be subject if imported separately, not less than that imposed
upon their contents.
The General Appraisers call attention in their report to the effect of
the clause in section 7 of the Customs Administrative Act which requires the assessment of an additional duty of 2 per cent, on the total
appraise°d value of imported merchandise for eveiy 1 per cent, of the
advance above entered value, provided the appraised value exceeds by
more than 10 per cent. the. value declared on entry, and recommend
that the law should be so modified as to limit the additional duty to
not more than 100 per cent. I concur in their recommendation that
the law be so modified.
By the present law (section 827, Eevised Statutes) provision is
made for the compensation of district attorneys when they appear on
behalf of collectors in customs cases. Under the Administrative Act
collectors are no longer parties to suits for the recovery of duties alleged
to be unlawfully exacted, and although the services of the district attorneys in such cases are still required, it has been held that there is
no authoritj^ for their payment. It is therefore recommended that the
law be amended so that the district attorneys may receive adequate
comi)ensation in such cases.
The care of foreign merchandise at the World's Columbian Exposition
will require a large temporary customs force, which cannot be provided without an additional appropriation for. that purpose. It is
estimated that not lessthan $200,000 will be required to enable the
Department to employ the officers necessary to maintain the custody
of dutiable exhibits and examine and appraise and collect duties upon
such articles as may be withdrawn for consumi)tion.
There will be undoubtedly a demand for the privilege of selling
articles for delivery during the Exposition. This will require legislative authority, and I therefore suggest the enactment of a law to
authorize such sales under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary
of the Treasury, as was done during the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia, in accordance with the provisions of the act of July 20,
1876.
^ ^ . .
General Appraisers. ^ .
The report of the General Appraisers* shows a gratifying progress in
the disposition of protests involving questions of classification. The
number of these cases undisposed of November 1, 1890, was 996 ; the
number received from November 1, 1890, to November 1, 1891, was
41,557 at the port of New York, and from other ports 8,589, making a

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY.
total of 51,142. Of this number, 33,897 involved the constitutionality
of the acts of June iO and October 1, 1890. Many of the remaining
cases have been or will be disposed of by a single decision, as they
involve identical questions, so that the opinion is expressed that by
January 1 next nearly all cases received up to October 1, 1891, will
have been settled either by actual decisions or suspensions made to
await the final determination of analogous questions on appeals taken
from the Board's decisions.
During the same time, the number of appeals to reappraisement has
been 2,107, of which 2,051 have been disposed of, leaving but 56 pending.
This showing gives assurance that the Customs Administrative Act
has realized the purpose of its enactment and afforded what was imperatively demanded—a speedy, just, and efficacious means for the settlement of differences between the Government and importers, both as
to classifications and values.
It was to be expected that a law so radical in many of its features
would be met by some embarassments of administration and more or
less criticism, but its practical operation for more than a year has in a
great measure removed both the administrative difficulties and the opposition it first encountered. It has demonstrated its value and efficacy
in checking fraudulent undervaluations and securing uniform assessment of duties, and while in some of its details amendment is desirable, yet in its main features it should not be disturbed.

XLIII
The amounts herein stated are the amounts actually collected during
the fiscal years mentioned, but in many cases the money collected on
the last day of June is not deposited until the first day of July, thus
causing a discrepancy between the collections and the deposits.
The increase in the cost of collection for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1891, is due to various causes. The appropriation made
by Congress for salaries and expenses of agents, gaugers, storekeepers,
etc., amounted to $2,100,000, but owing to a large increase in the products of distilleries operated during the fiscal year, which resulted in
an increase of the taxes collected from spirits of more than $3,000,000
as compared with the receipts of the preceding year, the actual expenses under the above head exceeded the amount appropriated by
$3,451.58, for which unpaid accounts are now on file and for the payment of which an additional appropriation will be necessary. In addition to this, there were gauged 193,557 gallons of grape brandy used in
the fortification of sweet wines upon which no tax was paid. The
actual work demanded under this provision, in addition to the above
figures, was the gauging of 1,083,274 gallons of sweet wines, and a number of deputy collectors and other officers were required to be employed
in the work of supervising the delivery of this brandy to the wine
makers.
If expenditures of this character, which' can hardly be fairly construed as entering into the cost of collection, could be separated from
the total expenditure, the cost of collection for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1891, would be very materially reduced.
The percentage of cost of collection for the fispal year ended June
30, 1891, was 2.88 per cent., as against 2.82 for the preceding fiscal
year, the increase arising LJ above stated.
The total production of distilled spirits, exclusive of fruit brandies,
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, was 115,962,389 gallons; the
total production for the fiscal year ended June 30,1890, was 109,275,928
gallons, making an increase in the production of distilled spirits for
the fiscal year just ended of 6,686,461 gallons.
There was also produced during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891,
284,035 gallons of apple brandy, 777 gallons of peach brandy, and
1,519,900 gallons of grape brandy, making a total production of
1,804,712 gallons of brandy from fruits, as against 1,825,810 gallons of
brandy from fruits produced during the fiscal year ended June 30,1890.
A further comparison of the two fiscal years shows a decrease of
325,006 gallons in the production of apple brandy and a decrease of
XLIV
REPORT OF THE SECRETAliY OF THE TREASURY.
107,987 gallons in the production of peach brandy, with an increase oi
411,895 gallons in the production of grape brandy for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1891. Of the brandy produced from grapes 193,557
gallons were used, free of tax, for the fortification of sweet' wines,
under the provisions of the act of October 1, 1890.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, 3,819 distilleries of all
kinds were operated. For the preceding fiscalyear 6,211 distilleries
of all kinds were operated, a comparison showing a decrease of 2,392
in the number of distilleries operated for the fiscal year just ended.
Nearly the whole of the above decrease arose from fruit distilleries
which were not operated on account of the almost complete failure
of the fruit crop.
.
Duringthe fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, there were produced
30,497,209 barrels of beer. The number of barrels produced during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, was 27,561,944, making an increased production for the fiscal year just ended of 2,935,265 barrels.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, the total receipts from the
taxes on tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, snuff, etc, were $32,796,270.97.
The receipts from the same sources for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1^90, were $33,958,991.06. It was estimated that the provisions of the
actof October 1, 1890, reducing the tax on tobacco and snuff' to 6
cents per pound and repealling certain special taxes, w^ould result in a
decrease in the receipts from this source for the fiscal year ended June
, 30, 1891, of $3,898,382.72. The actual decrease was $1,162,720.09, the
increased production of manufactured tobacco,^ snuff, cigars, cheroots,
and cigarettes being the cause for such gratifying result.
The quantity of distilled spirits gauged for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1891, was 342,343,638 gallons. The quantity gauged for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1890, was 324,175,208 gallons, making an increase
in the quantity of spirits gauged forthe fiscal year just ended of
18,168,430 gallons. .
It is estimated that the receipts„ from all sources of internal revenue
for the current fiscal year (ending June 30, 1892) will aggregate
$150,000,000.
I respectfully call attention to the various recommendations contained in the report of the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue,* and
urge legislation in accordance with the views therein expressed.

- The value of our foreign commerce—imports and exports of merchandise—during the last fiscal year was greater than for any previous year.
It amounted to $1,729,397,006, as against $1,647,139,093 during the
fiscal year 1890, an increase of $82,257,913.
The value of imports of merchandise .also during the last fiscal year
was the largest in the history of our commerce, amounting to $844,916,196, as against $789,310,409 during the fiscal year 1890, an increase of
$55,605,787.
The value of the exports of merchandise during the same period was

Trade with Central and South America.
Our total imports of merchandise from Mexico, Central and South
American States, British Honduras, and the West Indies, during the
fiscal year 1891, amounted to $242,512,577, or 28.70 per cent, of our
. total imports of merchandise.
"
The value of our exports of merchandise to these same countries during the same period was $90,413,516, or 10.22 per cent, of the value of
our total exports of merchandise.
Our total imports and exports of merchandise from and to these
countries, during the same period, amounted to $332,926,093, or 19.26
per cent, of our total imports and exports of merchandise.
It will be seen that the excess of our imports of merchandise from
these countries over our exports to them amounted to $152,099,061.
In other words, our imports of merchandise were 72.84 per cent, and
exports 27.16 of the total trade with these countries, and we imported
merchandise to the value of $2.68 for every dollar in value exported to
these countries.
The excess of imports over exports of merchandise for the fiscal year
1890 was $108,054,472. For the fiscal year 1889 this excess was $117,917,883.

The principal articles imported from the entire group were: Sugar,
coffee, tobacco, crude India rubber, hides and skins other than furskins, silver-bearing ore, and fruits, of which only tobacco and silverbearing ore and a portion of the fruits are dutiable.
It is probable that under the new tariff the value of dutiable imports
' during the year ending June 30, 1892, from the group of countries to
the south of us will not exceed 10 per cent, of the total value of imports.
The principal articles of domestic exports from the United States to
this entire southern group consisted of manufactures of iron and steel,'
manufactures of cotton, manufactures of wood, wheat flour, mineral oil,
and agricultural implements.
,
Imports and exports under reciprocity treaties.
The reciprocity clause of the new tariff is opening new markets and
increasing the demand for our products.
During the year ending June 30,1890, our exports of domestic products to Brazil amounted to $11;902,496, and in 1891 to $14,049,273, an
increase of $2,146,777.
The treatj^ with Brazil went into effect April 1 last, and it is not to
be expected that the results will be very marked as yet. During the
six months ending September 30, 1890, our domestic exports of merchandise to Brazil amounted to $6,208,804, and during the same period
of 1891, under the operation of the reciprocity treaty, to $7,515,858, an
increase of $1,307,054.
This increase in exports to Brazil since the reciprocity treaty went
into effect has been mainly in locomotives, steam-engines, machinery
and cars for tramways and railways, wheat flour, bacon, boards, deals,
planks, etc.

There has been a decrease in the exports of wheat, lard, and cotton
manufactures.

The reciprocity treaties with Santo Domingo and with Spain concerning trade relations with Cuba and Puerto Eico did not go into
effect until September 1, and as yet there are no available statistics to
show the effects of the treaties upon our commerce. Furthermore, the
reduction of duties on wheat and wheat flower imported into these
islands from the United States will not take effect until January 1,
1892.

The iron vessels built during the fiscal year measured 105,618 tons.
Of these there was built at the lake ports a tonnage of 57,989 tons and
on the Atlantic coast 46,265 tons. The documented iron tonnage on
the lakes is 181,724 tons and on the seacoast 554,963 tons. The entire
documented iron tonnage, including that of the western rivers, is 741,598.24" tons. The documented tonnage on the l!^orthern lakes June 30,
1891, was 1,154,870 tons; on the Western rivers, 308,348 tons; on the
Pacific coast, 440,858^tons; and on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, 2,780,683
tons.
The foreign-going tonnage, exclusive of that engaged in the whale
fisheries, is 988,719 tons, of which 236,070 tons are steam vessels, and
752,649 tons are sailing vessels.
Of our total documented tonnage, 2,016,264 tons are steam, and
2,668,495 tons are other than steam.
The registered vessels include the documented tonnage above mentioned in the foreign sea-going trade, and 17,231 tons in the whale
fishery. The enrolled and licensed vessels include 3,609,876 tons
documented under the federal laws, and engaged in the " coasting
trade ^ along the seacoasts, the rivers, and the great lakes of the
^
United States, and 68,933 tons licensed for the fisheries.
The appropriation by the last Congress of a sum to compensate
American-built steamships for carrying the mails will greatly encourage the building of ships in the United States of the class to which the
benefits of the act are limited, namely, those capable of a speed in
many cases of more than 20 statute miles an hour, for thousands
of miles, without coaling, and will tend to tl\e recovery of our share of
the ocean carrying trade of the world, in competition with the steamships of Great Britain, France, and Germany.
Those nations, together with Spain and Italy, have subsidized their
lines of steam vessels in one form or another, and they carry most of
NAVIGATION.
LVII
our exports, which are usually products of a bulky nature, and constitute a very large and profitable portion of the commerce of the world.
Our annual customs receipts scarcely exceed the money paid annually to the owners of foreign vessels for the ocean transportation of
our own people and merchandise, most of which large sum of about
$200,000,000 would be paid to our own vessel-owners under the fostering influence of friendly legislation.
Through treaties and regulations made since 1827, mostly prior to
the late war, the early discriminations of the Government in favor of
American shipping in the foreign trade have been removed and the
vessels of other nations are now admitted in the United States, in some
cases, on more favorable terms than our own, and in nearly all instances
on conditions as favorable. The foreign competition thus stimulated,
together with the injurious effects of the war upon our ocean carrying
trade, have almost destroyed our foreign shipping interests. This, fortunately, is not the case in respect to our coasting trade, which is now
the largest of any civilized country, and gives us a fleet of vast benefit
to the nation in time of peace and capable of incalculable service in
time of war.
There should be no interference with the legal barriers that now preserve the coasting trade to citizens of the United States, whether upon
the lakes, the rivers, or the ocean. The late census shows that in addition to the large tonnage of documented vessels mentioned in the
statistics above stated of vessels in this trade, there is a very considerable number of inferior undocumented craft employed upon the rivers
and elsewhere, consisting of unrigged barges, fiat boats, etc. Upon
the Ohio Eiver and its tributaries above Cincinnati alone this additional
tonnage is found to amount to 2,470,547 tons. The value of the coasting and river fleet to domestic commerce, and its relative importance,
is shown by the reports of the Census Office, which state that on the
great lakes alone (without considering wharves, elevators, shii)yards,
or other plant^s connected with shipping) the aggregate valuation of
the vessels in 1890 was $58,128,500, and that their total ton mileage
for the season of 1889 was 15,518,360,000, equivalent to 22.6 per cent,
of the total ton mileage of railways in the United States.

"No words can add to the force of these figures. In 1858 over 73 per
cent, of our maritime exports and imports was carried in American
bottoms, and in 1891 less than 13 per cent. In 1861 our foreign going
tonnage, exclusive of that on the lakes, was 2,642,628, the highest
point reached in the history of the nation, and in 1865, four years
later, it had fallen to 1,602,583. The causes of the decline need not
be discussed here. Since the war they have been such as might have
been obviated by action similar to that recently taken by Congress,
and by encouragement on the part of that body, such as has been given
to its navigation interests in no stinted measure by the Government of
Great Britain.
MARINE BOARD—IMMIGRATION.
LIX .
The demand for ships of war will give us shipyards competent for
building commercial vessels to any extent, and there is no good reason
why ships should not be built here, and transport under American
ownership a fair share of our exports and imports. Great industries
like ship-building and the navigation ofships should not be surrendered
by us to other nations without a determined struggle to retain them.
No backward step should be taken in the efforts now being made to
restore the American flag to the high seas.
The United States courts are considering various questions relating
to the rights and duties of American owners of foreign-built yachts
navigated in our waters. Some additional legislation in regard to
vessels of this class may become necessary.
Changes in trade and commerce, and the rapid growth of seaboard
towns, especially on the Pacific coast, make it often desirable to enter
and clear vessels and discharge cargo at places other than ports established by law. To meet exigencies of this character, the Secretary of
the Treasury should have authority to designate places as ports where
customs officers may be stationed, when, in his judgment, the exigencies
of commerce so require, with authority to enter and clear vessels, discharge cargo, collect duties and other moneys, and perform such
other services in connection with the customs and navigation laws as
the Secretary may i)rescribe.
ESTABLISHMENT OF A MARINE BOARD.
For many years it has been the desireof the various shipping organizations and marine associations of the country that a marine board
should be established with a view to securing greater uniformity in the
administration of the navigation, quarantine, and marine laws.
Pursuant to a resolution of Congress and the recommendation of the,
delegates to the United States International Marine Conference, a bill
to effect this purpose was submitted to the last Congress, which passed
the Senate, but failed of final action in the House, though favorably
reported by the Committee on Commerce. The subject is again commended to the favorable consideration of Congress.
IMMIGRATION.
o
Pursuant to the evident intent of Congress as expressed in the immigration act of March 3, 1891, all contracts with State boards have been
abrogated, and the immigration business at all ports of the United States
is now controlled and managed directly by the Treasury Department

thro\igh a commissioner of imnaigration stationed at each principal
port of entry, assisted by a suitable number of inspection officers. The
change proves to be a beneficial one, giviug to the service uniformity,
method, and greater efficiency. Along the international boundaries
the enforcement of the immigration laws is intrusted to immigration
inspectors, who are under the general direction of the collectors of customs in the several districts where they are stationed. In the interest
both of economy and efficiency, these immigrant inspectors also perform duty, when necessary, in the enforcement of the customs laws and
the Chinese exclusion act.

NOTE.—Any disparity between the totals in this table and those furnished by the Bureau of Star

IMMIGRATION.
LXI
The foregoing table shows an increase in arrivals of 94,376^ or more
than 22 per cent, over the previous year. The arrivals during the
first four months of the present fiscal year (ending October 31, 1891)
have been 189,778, an excess of 40,595, or of inore than 27 per cent,
over the corresponding months of 1890. This extraordinary and progressive increase in the tide of alien immigration to the United States,
which does not include the increased arrivals via Canada, has not
. failed to atti'act the attention of the whole country, and it will doubtless command the early consideration of Congress. If ever there was a
question which ought to be treated independently of.partisan politics
this would seem to be such a question; and the practical unanimity in
this matter of our citizens of all parties and of whatever nationality
furnishes the opportunity for the adoption of measures dictated solely
by patriotic considerations.
An analysis of the statement of arrivals during the last fiscal year
shows that an increasing proportion of immigrants is coming to us from
those, classes and those countries of Europe whose people are least
adapted to, and least prepared for, citizenship in a free republic, and
are least inclined to assimilate with the general body of American
citizens.
With the approaching exhaustion of the supply of free arable land
in the United States only a trifling percentage of immigrants now
engage in farming on their arrival in this country, whatever may have
been their former occupation. The vast majority of them crowd into
our""cities and large towns, with the inevitable "result of overstocking
the labor market and depressing wages, while the least efficient and
more vicious among them soon drift into our poorhouses and prisons,
to be a continuing burden upon our people. The laws already enacted
by Congress for the purpose of checking this tendency and preventing
the mischief which would result from unrestricted immigration have
accomplished something. The attempt to enforce these laws efficiently
has also developed a body of information, based on actual experience,
which should be invaluable in framing future legislation. While the
application of existing laws has very greatly diminished some of the
specific abuses at which they were aimed, it obviously has not prevented a large increase in the total volume of immigration, and a distinct deterioration in its average quality.
The chief causes of the current increase of immigration lie on the
surface. The higher wages, the better scale of living, the general and
fairly uniform prosperity prevailing in this country, coupled with comniercial and industrial depression abroad, the present trifling cost of
LXII
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
steerage passage, and the. wide publicity now given to all the firstnamed facts among the masses of Europe, are a sufficient explanation,
though other reasons contribute to the result.
Among the more obvious and fatal weaknesses in the present attenipt,to winnow somewhat our incoming tide of immigration, and to
exclude certain classes of aliens who are admitted by all to be either
dangerous or undesirable, are these: (1) In the worst and most important classes of cases, to wit, criminals, ex-convicts, polygamists,
and illegally ^ assisted'' immigrants, the law supplies almost no means
^
of ascertaining the facts. The personal statements of such immigrants
obviously have little value as evidence, and it is only by accident that
any other source of information is open to the inspection officers at the
port of arrival. (2) With the increasing efficiency of inspection at
our several seaports, and the fact of this vigilance made known to intending emigrants in Europe, an increasing number of aliens are now
landing at Canadian ports and thence entering the United States by
rail, thus practically avoiding all effective scrutiny, besides depriving
the immigrant fund of the head tax which would otherwise be paid.
Congress alone can remedy these glaring defects in a system which
has thus far necessarily been tentative and experimental. Plainly the
process of sifting immigrants should at least begin abroad, to be completed, and not commenced, at the United States port of arrival. Some
system of investigation or certification, consular or otherwise, in the
country where the intending emigrant resides, is believed to be entirely
practicable, and such a system, supplemented by continued vigilance at
our ports of entry, ought to prove effective to the desired end. Considerations of humanity as well as of efficiency require that aliens of
the prohibited classes shall not be permitted to come across the ocean
to our ports, only to be sent back penniless and stranded.
As to the entrance of alien immigrants into the United States by rail
across the Canadian border, the remedy would suggest itself of either
securing an international arrangement for a uniform system of foreign
or seaport inspection, or, failing that, of making our own inspection
at the border as effective as possible, as a part of our own general
system.
The extent to which criminals, paupers, and defectives are systematically deported from certain foreign countries to the United
States, and the best means of preventing this abuse, will be considered
in a future communication to Congress.
The new and commodious Immigrant Station on Ellis Island, in ISTew
York harbor, is practically completed, and the business pf receiving

and inspecting immigrants will be transferred thither from the Barge
Office as soon as certain details are arranged. A regular ferry will be
maintained between Ellis Island and the Barge Office, and the annex
forming part of the latter will be utilized as a final landing-place for
those immigrants who are destined for l^ew York City and adjacent
points. The new receiving station, besides adding vastly to the comfort, convenience, and sanitary well-being of the arriving immigrants,
will enable the inspection officers to perform their duties much ,more
thoroughly, effectively, and expeditiously.
In addition to the information concerning each immigrant heretofore
obtained by the inspection officers, a record of illiteracy will hereafter
be preserved, by stating upon the register opposite each name whether
the person can read and write.
Alien Contract-Labor Laws.
Good progress has been made during the past year in the matter "of
enforcing the provisions of the Alien Contract-Labor Laws. The fact
that such laws are on the statute books, prescribing serious penalties
for the their infraction, has of itself had a most salutary effect and
tended greatly to prevent all law-abiding citizens from attempting the
/ importation of alien laborers under contract. Prosecutions have been
instituted wherever sufficient evidence could be procured, and these,
with resulting convictions, have had a wholesome deterrent effect upon
such employers as might not be influenced by a mere knowledge of
the illegality of the prohibited traffic in alien labor. Thus the effectiveness of the laws in question is not measured or indicated by the
number of prosecutions brought thereunder, nor by the number of
contract laborers intercepted and returned.
In June last I appointed a.commission of five persons, who spent the
summer months in various parts of Europe, making a careful study of
the immigration question, with special regard ta the illegal importation hither of alien laborers under contract. The report of that commission is now in course of preparation, and upon its completion I
shall expect to lay the same before Congress, accompanying it with
such suggestions as shall seem pertinent. ^
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The Department has been unremitting in its efforts to enforce the
Chinese Exclusion Acts, but with only partial success.
The law provides that Chinese laborers found to be unlawfully within the United States shall be removed therefrom to '^the country from
whence they came,'' and appropriations have been made from time to.
LXIV
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE' TREASURY.
time by Congress to carry this provision of law into effect. It was found
that these prohibited persons were gaining access to the country from the
contiguous foreign territories of Mexico and Canada, where they were
landed direct from China without hindrance, except the imposition
of a head-tax of $50 by the Canadian Government. It was obviously
useless to return these people to Mexico or Canada, whence they
could seek new and probably successful entrance into the United
States, and in the opinion of the Department it was the purpose and
intent of the law to return them to China as the country from whence
they came, whether they gained admission directly from China or
through the avenue of a foreign country.
If any doubt had previously existed it seemed to be set at rest by a
specific appropriation by Congress both in 1890 and 1891, to enforce
the law and return to China all Chinese persons found to be unlawfully
within the United States.
' The Department therefore ordered all such persons returned to China,
regardless of the avenue' of their entrance into this country, with such
success that Chinese immigration was practically broken up on the
Mexican frontier and measurably checked on the Canadian frontier.
But within the last few months the instructions of the Department for
deportation to China have been stayed in some instances by the action
of the courts in returning such persons to Canada as the country from
whence they came, and while the Department has not relaxed its efforts to enforce the law, it has been unable, as a result of such judicial
action, to withstand the great influx of Chinese laborers along our
Canadian border. It is undoubtedly true that the Chinese population
of the United States has been considerably increased within the past
year by the addition of Chinese laborers who have entered by way of
Canada. Syndicates have been "formed and much capital has been invested to further this unlawful immigration, and if it is still the purpose of Congress to prohibit it, a thorough revision of the statutes relating to the subject is necessary.
Four acts of Congress relate to the exclusion of Chinese laborers from
the United States. These acts bear date May 6,1882 j July 5,1884; September 13, 1888, and October 1,1888, respectively. The act of May 6,
1882, suspended the immigration of Chinese laborers from and after the
period of ninety days from the passage of such act and until the expiration of ten yeiars next after the date thereof. - The act of July 5, 1884,
amended certain sections of the act of May 6, 1882, but did not change
the period within which its operations were limited. The act of September 13,' 1888, provided for the repeal of the acts of May 6,1882, and
REVENUE-MARINE SERVICE.
o
LXV
^
July 5, 1884, such repeal to take effect upon the joint ratification of the
treaty then pending between the United States and China; but such
treaty has not been ratified, and the Attorney-General has expressed
the opinion that the act of September 13, 1888, is not in force. The
acts of May 6, 1882, and July 5, 1884, therefore still control. By the
act of October 1, 1888, it is made unlawful for any Chinese laborer who
shall at any time have been a resident of the United States, and who,
shall have departed therefrom, to return to the United States. Unless,
therefore, Congress shall enact new legislation upon the subject, it
would seem that any Chinese laborer may lawfully enter the United
States after May 6, 1892^ unless he shall have previously resided here,
in which case his admission is prohibited.
Any legislation, however, looking ^to exclusion will fail of its full
purpose so long as the Canadian Government admits Chinese laborers
to Canada, whence, armed with Canadian permits to leave and return
to Canada at pleasure, they are at liberty to invade our territory along
its entire northern frontier.
REVENUE-MARINE SERVICE.
The performance of the regular duties of the revenue cutters has continued in a faithful and efficient manner. Thirty-six vessels in commission during the °year have cruised for the protection of the revenue a
distance of 301,416 nautical miles, and have boarded and examined
26,962 vessels, of which number 1,042 were found violating the law.
The fines incurred by reason of these violations amounted to $334,046.94. In addition, 123 distressed vessels were assisted, the value of the
vessels and their cargoes amoun tiug to $2,806,056. Eevenue cutters, furthermore, have rescued from the water during the past year, and in
actual danger of drowning, 26 persons.
Material aid has been rendered during the year to the Life-Saving Service, a distance of 9,915 miles having been cruised by revenue cutters
on this duty alone.
The expenditures on account of the Eevenue-Cutter Service for 1891
have been $934,995.22, of which sum $26,816.59 was used in enforcing
the provisiohs of the act of Congress, approved May 16, 1888, regulating the anchorage of vessels in the bay and harbor of 'New York.
The personnel of the Eevenue Marine consists of 220 commissioned
officers, 28 pilots, and 815 enlisted men.
. .
Tbe special duty of enforcing the provisions of the anchorageregula
tions of the waters of New York harbor has been continued by the revenue steamer Manhattan. During the year 1,375 vessels were found imFi 91
V

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
properly anchored, and of this number 809 were assisted to a proper
anchorage. The remaining vessels moved on being notified to do so.
The work of the revenue-cutter fleet during the past year has been one
of marked activity. The duty performed has been both varied and general. It embraced operations of more than ordinary importance in
Bering Sea, in connection with the Eastern fisheries, on the Bahama
Banks, the Florida coast, and in Puget Sound. Many of these operations dealt with issues of an international nature, and required throughout a nicety of judgment on the part of those engaged. The prompt
and efficient manner with which revenue cutters have responded to
demands for special work is creditable to both officers and crews, and
leaves no reason to believe that there is any falling off from that high
standard of efficiency which has so long characterized the Eevenue
Marine.
In the early part of April of this year the revenue steamer Bear
made a special cruise to western Alaska in the interest of the Department of Justice, for the purpose of arresting criminals and securing
witnesses who could not be reached without a special vessel. Later she
conveyed to Icy Bay the Eussell exploring expedition, sent out under
the auspices of the l^ational Geographic Society of Washington, D. C.
This vessel has also given transportation to the commissioner of education
for Alaska, and the necessary supplies for the Indian schools in Arctic
Alaska. The Bear had on board the supplies for the Point Barrow
Eefuge Station, but was unable to reach that point this season on account of the heavy field ice, which prevented the whaling fleet from
I)roceeding farther north than Point Belcher. She rendered valuable
assistance to a number of whalemen, and returning, reached Unalaska
September 17, when she resumed guard duty around the Seal Islands,
where she will remain until after December 1.
It was learned that the crew of the schooner Silver Wave, of San Francisco, wrecked late last year near Point Barrow, were furnished shelter
and subsistence during the winter at the Point Barrow Eefuge Station.
Therevenue steamer Eush sailed from San Francisco on May 27 for
the Seal Islands, and during the summer cruised 11,088.8 miles in the
Bering Sea for the protection of the Government interests in that region
and the enforcement of the provisions of the President's proclamation,
and the modus vivendi with Great Britain. She boarded in the sea
23 vessels, 13 bf them seal hunters, which were notified to leave the
sea at once. The Ettsh seized one vessel, the British schooner F . B.
Marvin, of Victoria, for noncompliance with the provisions of the proclamation, after having been warned by the United States steamship
LIGHT-HOUSE SEVICE.
LXVII
Thetis. The Eush returning from her cruise reached San Francisco
October 2, and sailed again October 19, to remain in the vicinity of the
Seal Islands until December 1 next.
The revenue steamer Corwin sailed from San Francisco June 17 for
Bering Sea, carrying copies of the President's proclamation and instructions for its enforcement to the other revenue steamers on duty in
Alaskan waters, and to the Treasury agents on the Seal Islands. During the season she cruised 9,862.8 miles; boarded and notified 10 seal
hunting vessels to leave the sea, and seized 2, the American schooners
La Nimpha, of San Francisco, and Ethel, of San Diego, Cal., for noncompliance with such notice. These cases have since been tried in the
United States district court of Alaska, and the vessels were condemned.
A number of new vessels are urgently needed for the proper maintenance of the service. With a fleet of thirty-six vessels it will be readily
seen that unless new craft are added to the fleet annually ihe service
must gradually become depleted.
The rapidly increasing commerce on the Great Lakes, the Pacific
coast, and Puget Sound; the large-number of Chinese subjects unlawfully landing on our shores, and the enormous quantities of opium believed to be smuggled into the United States from contiguous foreign
territory; the additional service demanded of the revenue-cutter fleet
in protecting Government interests in Alaska, all require new and
more jefficient steamers. There is, in consequence, immediate and urgent
need for two able cruising steamers for the Pacific coast and two for
Lakes Michigan and Ontario, respectively. To meet any sudden contingency, these vessels should possess features and characteristics enabling them to meet demands other than those for assistance to distressed
vessels and the enforcement of the customs-revenue laws. This fact has
not been lost sight of in the general designs outlined.
There is further need at San Francisco for a new boarding steamer.
The vessel now engaged on this duty is too small for the efficient performance of the work assigned to her.
LIGHT-HOUSE SERVICE.
The number of light-stations was increased from 833 to 852. Three
first-class light-ships have been finished and placed on stations on
.the Atlantic coast. Three other less expensive light-ships are being
built for service on the Great Lakes, and will be finished in time to be
put on stations this fall. The construction of four other first-class
light-ships, three for service on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific
coast, has been commenced. They are to have the best illuminating
LXVIII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY'OF THE TREASURY.
apparatus and fog-signals, and are to be moved to and from their stations by their own steam power.
The Board has two first-class steam tenders well under construction,
and the plans of a third are nearly finished.
The number of buoys, spindles, and day marks was. increased from
4,651 to 4,715 during the last fiscal year. The appropriation for expenses of buoyage last year was $335,000, an increase of $55,000 over
the preceding year. With this the Board was able to maintain these
aids to navigation and make a slight addition to their number, but
not as many as were needed.
The number of lights on navigable rivers was increased from about
1,600 to about 1,700; as the increase was mostly on eastern rivers, where
it costs more to build and maintain them than it does on western rivers,
the average cost was brought up from $160 to about $170 per year each.
As each of these river lights serves the purpose that was formerly
attained by a light-house costing very much more to build and many
times more a year to maintain, it is deemed judicious as well as economical to increase their number. The Board asks an increased appropriation for this purpose.
The Light-House Board, in its annual report, again urges that the
exhibition of private lights should be prohibited, and that ia penalty,
be provided by law for the infraction of its regulations as to the lighting of bridges over navigable streams.
'
.
MARINE-HOSPITAL SERVICE.
The report of the Supervising Surgeon-General* shows that during
the last year there were 52,992 sailors treated in the various marine
hospitals and dispensaries; that ther^ were 1,133 surfmen and keepers
of the Life-Saving Service examined physically, of which number 59
were rejected for disease or disability; that there were 1,182 pilots examined for color blindness, of which number 29 were rejected; and that
243 seamen were examined physically as a prerequisite to their enlistment in the Eevenue-Marine Service, of which number 38 wererejected.
The balance of funds available at the commencement of the fiscal
year was $106,295.77, and the receipts from all sources during the
year (tonnage tax and repayments for care and treatment of foreign
seamen, etc.) were $533,760.77. The expenditures were $564,528.53,'
leaving a balance on hand at the close of the fiscal year of $75,528.01.
The balance of the appropriation for the prevention of epidemic diseases available June 30, 1891, was $157,174.32.

MARINE-HOSPITAL SERVICE.
,
LXIX
During the year the eight quarantine stations have been in operation, including the new quarantine station on. Angel Island, San Francisco Bay, which was opened for service in April. There were 1,664
vessels inspected at the national quarantines, of which number 113
were detained for disinfection. At the Gulf Quarantine Station, on
Chandeleur Islands, 46 vessels, badly infected with yellow fever, were
held and disinfected, and 12 yellow-fever patients were taken from these
vessels into the lazaretto. As a result not a single case of yellow fever
developed on the coast guarded by this quarantine.
The other stations were also successfully administered, and the Southern cities have been entirely free from this much-dreaded disease during
the past summer.
The Supervising Surgeon-Gen eral calls attention to the increased
number of cases of leprosy discovered in the United States, and suggests the necessity of a national asylum where these lepers may be permitted to enjoy as much freedom as possible, and yet be removed from
contact with other people. Pertinent correspondence relating to this
matter is embodied in his report.
s /
Owing to the prevalence of cholera in the East, and to a want of
uniformity in the local health regulations at several of the ports of
entry in the United States, a circular has been recently issued prohibiting the entry of rags imported from Marseilles unless previously
disinfected. It may be necessary to extend the provisions of this circular to other ports where such rags are rebaled and reshipped.
The services of this Bureau of the Government, in aid of the general
public health, find further illustration in the copies of correspondence
regarding notification to State boards of health of immigrants arriving
from infected ports or on infected vessels, and also in the immigration
law, in which the duty of inspection of immigrants to be rejected on account of disease is placed upon the officers of this service.
The sanitary inspection service has been rigidly maintained at the
port of Havana during the year by the sanitary inspector of the MarineHospital Service and his assistant, who examined 636 vessels at that
port. Five thousand and twenty-four applicants for certificates to
enable the entry of the applicants into the United States during the
quarantine season were examined by the sanitary inspector, and certificates were refused to 455 applicants, because through want of acclimation (Havana being an infected port) these persons might convey disease
into the United States.
. A sanitary inspection has also been maintained on the Mexican frontier at El Paso, Tex.
LXX
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. •
Interesting investigations have been in progress in the two bacteriological laboratories of the service, and a special report is made by the
medical officer in charge of the chief laboratory, who was detailed for
observation and- study in the laboratories of Professors Koch and Pasteur.
Sanitary reports and statistics have been published weekly throughout the year.
^
The twenty marine hospitals of the United States are reported generally in good condition.
STEAMBOAT-INSPECTION SERVICE.
The personnel of this service, at the end of the fiscal year, consisted
of 152 officers, clerks, and messengers. The number of steam-vessels
inspected, belonging to the United States, was 7,404, having 1,503,324.40 net tonnage. The number of foreign steam-vessels inspected
was 295.
The number of passengers carried on American steamers, it is estimated, was over 500,000,000. The number of lives lost by various
accidents was 338.
The expenses of the domestic service were $273,295.29 for the fiscal
year, and for the foreign service were $12,953.56.
The services of the officers known as special foreign inspectors have
been dispensed with, and the work is all done by the officers of the domestic service, under special appointments as acting special inspectors
without pay, thereby saving the salaries formerly paid the special inspectors. It is recommended that the laws providing a separate class
of officers for the inspection of foreign steam-vessels be repealed; a
better service is obtained by having such inspections made by the officers
of the domestic service, as is now done under Departmental authority
Urgent reasons for the proposed legislation are fully set forth in the
Secretary's Eeport on the Finances, 1890, as follows:
The offices proposed to be abolished are virtually sinecures, and much sought after
in consequence, and until they are abolished the Executive will remain subjected to
importunity to fill them.
Legislation is also asked for regulating the pay of inspectors, great
inequality now existing in that respect; and to provide punishment for
fraudulently changing or interpolating licenses issued to officers oi

LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
LXXI
LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
At the close of the year there were in operation 238 life-saving
stations, 6 having been i)ut in commission and 1 discontinued' during
the year. The following statistics give a summary of their operations : The number of disasters to documented vessels within the field
of station operations was 331, on board of which were 3,147 persons, of
whom 3,105 were saved and 42 lost. The estimated value of the property involved was $6,910,380, of which $5,677,890 was saved and
$1,232,490 lost. Thenumber of vessels totally lost was 62. Besides
the foregoing there were 160 disasters to smaller craft (sailboats, rowboats, etc.), on which were 344 persons, of whom 336 were saved and
8 lost. The property involved in the latter disasters amounted to
$110,425, of which $106,070 was saved and $4,355 lost. The following

Besides the persons saved from vessels as shown above, 46 others
were rescued who had fallen from wharves, etc., and would probably have perished but for the aid of the life-saving crews. The
assistance rendered by the service in saving vessels and cargoes was
unusually effective, a larger amount of property being saved in proportion to that imperiled than in any former year, with the single exception of 1884. Aid was given to 470 vessels in getting them afloat when
stranded, repaired when damaged, piloted out of dangerous places, etc.
There were also 210 instances in which vessels in danger of stranding
were warned off by the signals-of the patrolmen.
The cost of the maintenance of the service during the year was
$940,201.04.
Since the date of the last report the stations referred to therein as
being in process of construction at Knobb's Beach (near ISTewburyport)
and Great l^eck (Nantucket), Massachusetts;' Marquette and Bois
Blanc Island, Michigan; and Umpquah Eiver, Coos Bay, and Coquille
Eiver, Oregon, have been completed and manned for service. One

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
tlie charge of a keeper without crew, has been discontinued under the
provisions of section 2 of the act of May 4, 1882, which authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to discontinue any station whenever, in his
/judgment, the interests of commerce and humanity no longer require
its existence. Preliminary steps have also been taken looking to the
discontinuance of the Cape Malabar House of Eefuge, Florida.
\ New stations are now building at Burnt Island (near the mouth of
St. George's Eiver), Maine; Quonocontaug, Ehode Island; Fenwick's
Island, Delaware, and Ilwaco Beach, Washington.
Extensive repairs and improvements have been made during the year
to 26 stations on the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina, and similar
work is now in progress on several of the stations on the coasts of Delaware, Maryland, and Yirginia. The Sandy Hoot, Seabright, and
Cold Spring Stations, New Jersey, and the Ocean City Station, Maryland, have been rebuilt; and a new building is being erected at Gurnet
(near Plymouth), Massachusetts, to replace the old station, which will
be utilized for a boat house and other purposes. The Ditch Plain Station, coast of Long Island, having been struck by lightning and destroyed on the night of February 28 last, a new station is in progress
of construction to supply its place.
>
The telephone system of the service has been considerably extended
during the year by short lines connecting stations in the neighborhood
of cities with local systems, by means of which steam-tugs and other
aids can be readily summoned on occasion of disaster, and a new line
is being built from station to station along the Ehode Island coast.
The last two annual reports of the Secretary called attention to the
inadequacy of the compensation allowed to the keepers and crews
of stations, upon whose skill, bravery, and honest devotion to most
perilous and exacting duty the good name of the service and the lives
of imperiled mariners depend, in the last report itwas shown that
during that year more than 30 per cent, of the trained men had left the
stations in the Lake districts, and a somewhat smaller percentage on
the ocean coasts, for more lucrative employment, occasioning considerable embarrassment to the seryice. This exodus has increased during
the past year, and its continuance can not fail to seriously affect the
efficiency of the corps. Many of the remaining veterans are only retained by the hope of better wages, which the repeated recommendations of the Department and the justice of the case have excited.
The hope is earnestly Expressed that the relief, which simple justice
to the men and the preservation of the high standard of efficiency
which this servic'e has hitherto maintained alike demand, may not be
longer deferred.
COAST AND GEODETIC SURVE,Y.
LXXIII
COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY.
Among the operations referred to by the Superintendent of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey in his annual report,* the following may be named
as of special importance : Surveys relating to the location of a part of ^
the northeastern boundary line between the United States and the Dominion of Canada ; resurvey of Nantucket Shoals; observations of
tides, currents, densities, and temperatures in Long Island Sound and to
the south of Martha's Yineyard, in codperation with the work of the
U. S. Fish Commission; completion of the detailed topographical survey
of the District of Columbia; observations begun at Eockville, Md.,
and at San Francisco, Cal., for ascertaining the variations of latitude,
in cooperation with the work of the International Geodetic Association;
survey for the site of a light-house on Cape Hatteras Shoals ; continuation of the investigations in the Gulf Stream, and preparation for
j)ublication of a volume relating to the methods of the investigation
and the results of the research ; connection of the primary triangulation on qr near the 39th parallel advancing to the westward in the State
of Indiana with that advancing to the eastward in the same State ; extension to Kansas City of the transcontinental line of geodetic leveling;
reconnaissance along the boundary line on the Eio Grande between the
United States and Mexico; establishment off the coast of California,
at the request of the Navy Department, of a trial course for the new
naval cruiser Sa7i Francisco^ advance of the primary triangulation in
California by the occupation of Mount Conness; special surveys of
harbors in Puget Sound for the Harbor Line Commission of the State
of Washington, and continuation of the preliminary operations relating
to the location of the boundary line between Alaska and the British
Possessions in North America..
Advantage was taken by the Superintendent of opportunities afforded by his visit of inspection to the Pacific coast to determine gravity with hew and improved apparatus at a number of stations in California^ Washington, and .Alaska. In compliance with a request from
the International Geodetic Association, and with the sanction of the
Secretary of the Treasury, an officer of the Survey was instructed to
proceed to the Hawaiian Islands and aid an, offi cer detailed by that
Association in observations relating to the variations of latitude. He
was further directed to determine simultaneously with latitude the
force of gravity at sea-level, and also, when practicable, near the summit of Manna Kea.

LXXIV
REPORT OF. THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
The demand for the charts of the Survey has for some years past ex.ceeded the capacity of the office presses, but new presses and increased
working room, soon to become available, will probably enable all
public requirements to be met.
During the fiscal year 1891, there were issued 52,959 copies of charts,
3,153 of which were for the use of Congress, 2,651 for the Executive
Departments, and 31,465 to sale agents. Of Notices to Mariners^—issued
monthly or oftener, as occasion demanded—139,000 copies were printed
for free distribution. The publication of Coast Pilots and Tide Tables
was continued. Of the Coast Pilots for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
1,052 copies were distributed. The manuscripts of the^ Tide Tables,
predicting times and heights of high and low waters on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts for 1892, were sent to press before the close of the
fiscal year.
' '
The building known as the Eichards building, so long occupied by
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, was purchased for the use of that
Bureau by an appropriation in the Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1891.
In the same act the purchase of the Butler building adjoining, a part
of which had long been used by the same service, was also provided
for, my predecessor having recommended to Congress that it be bought
for the use of the Survey, to afford a much needed increase in the facilities for printing and publishing charts.
Before the close of the fiscal year, however, it became imperative to
make new provision for the Marine-Hospital Service, and it was necessary to utilize the greater part of the Butler building for this purpose.
A new building, much more perfectly adapted to the needs of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, can be erected at comparatively small cost
on the ground belonging to the Eichards building, and, knowing the
need for increased room for the proper execution of this important
branch of the public service, I respectfully recommend and urge Congress to provide at an early day for the erection of such a building.
Office of Weights and Measures.
The work of constructing sets of standard weights and measures for
the States that have not yet received them was continued in the Office
of Weights and Measures. Comparisons of thermometers were made
for the Internal-Eevenue Bureau; comparisons of coin weights for the
United States Mint at San Francisco, and of series of test weights for
the United States Mint at Carson City, Nev. At the request of the
Secretary of the Treasury an examination was undertaken of the standards in use in the sugar laboratories of the appraisers' offices in Bos-
ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.
LXXV
ton. New York, and Philadelphia, and carried to a successful conclusion.
Subsequently, at the request of the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue,
a commission consisting of experts representing the Department of
Agriculture, the Internal-Eevenue Bureau, and the Office of Weights
and Measures was organized with a view of deciding upon improved
methods in the analysis of sugars, and of framing regulations for determining the polarization of those upon which a bounty is paid.
For the reasons stated in the last report of my predecessor, I renew
the recommendation made by him that the metric system of weights
and measures be made obligatory in transactions at United States customhouses ft'om and after the first day of the calendar year 1895.
ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.
The work of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing during this year
exceeded that of any other for fourteen years, a considerable' portion of this increase being the Treasury notes provided for by the act of
July 14, 1890. So great was the demand for these and other small
notes that it was necessary to work the larger part of the force of the
•Bureau overtime throughout the entire year. During a portion of the
time work commenced at 7 a. m. and continued until 6:30 p. m. In
view of this large increase of work, it became necessary to adopt some
method of executing at least a part of the printing more rapidly than
by the methods heretofore in use. After full and careful consideration of the matter, the Chief of the Bureau recommended that the
internal-revenue stamps, known as strip tobacco stamps, be printed
from steel plates engraved in relief, which would permit of the printing of these stamps at the rate of 7,000 to 8,000, instead of from 700 to
800, sheets per press daily, as by the method of printing from intaglio
plates. Samples of stamps printed by this method were submitted,
and after full investigation by the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue,
the recommendation of the Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing was approved by the Department, and the stamps are now
being printed by this method. It is estimated that a saving of about
$156,000 a year will be effected by this change.
The erection of the additional wing to the Bureau building, authorized by Congress, progressed steadily during the year, and it is now finished and occupied by the Bureau. The additional facilities afforded
by this wing, together with the change in the method of printing the
strip tobacco stamps, permits of the execution of the work of the
Bureau within the regular hours for business—that is, from 8 a. m. to
4 p. m. daily. The business of this Bureau is now in a very satisfactory
condition.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
There were 392 public buildings completed and occupied, in course
of construction, not yet commenced, and for which properties for sites
had been, or were being, selected, and titles thereto acquired, under
the control of the Treasury Department and the supervision and direction of the office of the Supervising Architect during the year ending
September 30, 1891, of which number—^
One hundred and twenty were in course of construction, including
those to which extensions or additions, alterations, and repairs were
being made under special appropriations, and sites were selected or
being selected.
Two hundred and fifty were completed prior to September 30, 1890,
and 19 were completed and 3 were purchased during the past year,
making 272 completed and occupied; and all work of repairs thereon,
or the repairs to the heating, hoisting, and elevator apparatus therein,
were properly chargeable to the general appropriations.
Seventy-eight sites and buildings were authorized during the first
and second sessions of the Fifty-first Congress.
Eleven sites remain to be selected.
The amount of money expended on public buildings for the year
ending September 30, 1891, is as follows:
For sites and in the construction of new public buildings, extensions
and repairs specially provided for
$5, 514, 250 88

Among the recommendations of the Supervising Architect to which
the attention of Congress is invited is that suggesting the enactment of
a general law directing the mode of acquiring sites for public buildings;
preparation of plans, and proceeding with the work of construction,
leaving for special legislation simply the designation of the place to be
proyided for and the sum to be appropriated. At present the numerous individual acts providing for public buildings repeat these directions in substantially the same language, thus encumbering the statutes
unnecessarily. Another recommendation worthy of attention is that
suggesting a law providing for a corps of superintendents of construction
CLAIMS.
LXXVII
of public buildings, thus giving to the service superintendents especially
selected because of their fitness, and further qualified by their constant
experience, in the place of temporary local appointees in too many
instances unqualified for their important duties.
CLAIMS.
The importance of providing some limitation of time within which
claims against the Government shall be prosecuted, or, for want of such
prosecution, be forever barred, is urged upon the attention of Congress.
It may be assumed that any claim in behalf of an individual who is
in a situation to present it will, if well founded, be presented for payment within six years from the time when the claimant's right first
accrued. Su ch li mitations form part of the codes 'of all civilized nations,
and experience has shown that, as between individuals, less injustice is
done by the conclusive presumption that claims, thus delayed beyond
a reasonable time, are unfounded or have been adjusted, than by
allowing them to be prosecuted after witnesses to the transaction have
died or been lost sight of, and other evidence has been destroyed.
The presumption is much stronger in case of a claim against the
Government than in one against an individual. The Government is
always solvent and can always be found, and it is difficult to suggest a
reason why a valid claim against it should not be presented within the
term of six years.
Under the present circumstances, it is impossible to administer equal
justice to those who" present old claims. The Comptrollers and Commissioner of Customs have by law the final determination of all claims
coming within their jurisdiction, and while one of them, or the Auditor
who first considers the claim, may reject it because its prosecution has
been for many years delayed, and he therefore believes it to be unfounded, another officer feels it his duty to examine it upon such evidence as may still exist, because Congress has not interposed a statute
' of limitation in bar of its allowance. The First Comptroller, in his
report,* has called special attention to the importance of some limitation of this character.
It is recommended, therefore, that it be provided by law that no
claim pending in any of the Executive Departments shall be allowed
unless presented for payment within six years after such claim first
accrued, with the usual exception in favor of claimants disqualified by
age, or otherwise, fi^om prosecuting claims within such time.
The First Comptroller also recommends in his repoit that the act of
March 3, 1887 (24 Stat., 505), providing for the bringing of suits against
* See Appendix, page 501.

the Government, be amended or repealed; that additional legislation be
had touching the subject of double compensation to public oflicers; and
that provision be made for turning into the Treasury the balance on
June 30,1891, standing to the credit of the appropriation for '^deposits
by individuals for surveying public lands."
W O R L D ' S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
Work is progressing satisfactorily in the preparation of a suitable
contribution by the Treasury Department to the Government exhibit
at the World's Columbian Exposition. Pursuant to the provisions of
law, the Supervising Architect of the Treasury has completed suitable
plans for the Government Exposition building. A contract for the
construction has been approved, involving an expenditure of $316,767,
and work is going forward upon the structure.
SEAL ISLANDS.
It has been well known to the Department for some years that there
was a marked diminution in the number of seals returning annually to
the Pribyloff Islands. This decrease affected the rookeries so, seriously
that a modus vivendi was entered into between the United States and
Great Britain, by the terms of which the number of seals to be killed
on the islands between June 15, 1891, and May 1, 1892, was limited to
7,500, and their destruction in that part of Bering Sea lying eastward
of the line of demarcation described in article I of the treaty of 1867
was prohibited for the same period.
From reports made by the Treasury agents at the islands, who were
instructed to investigate the subject, it would seem that the killing of
vast numbers of female seals in the open waters by pelagic hunting is
the prime factor in the rapid decrease of seals, and if persisted in will
undoubtedly result in the speedy annihilation of these valuable furbearing animals. This will more clearly appear when it is stated that
although the proclamation of the modus vivendi was issued on June 15,
1891, more than 50,000 skins were taken by sealing schooners during
the past season, and as but a small percentage of the seals killed at sea
are secured, the figures given would indicate the actual destruction of
many times that nutnber.
It would therefore seem that restrictive measures are imperatively
needed for the protection of this valuable animal, which contributes so
largely to the wealth and comfort of the world at large. Attention is
also invited to the fact that on the islands of St. Paul and St. George
there are 300 native inhabitants who are supported by their labor in

LXXIX
taking seals for the lessees of the islands, and as this industry is affected
by the operations of the pelagic sealers, the natives who, to some extent
at least, may be regarded as the nation's wards, must be provided for
from the public funds.
There are other matters relating to this subject to which at the
proper time I may deeifi it advisable to invite the attention of ConRECORD OF REAL PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE UNITED STATES.
Attention is again invited to the need of legislation to provide suitN
able registry of deeds and other evidences of title to real property
acquired and held for the use of the United States.
These instruments are now deposited in various offices in the several
Departments, and their production when required often involves much
labor and research, which would .be obviated by collecting them into
one place of deposit and record.
This would also afford means of ready reference to the history of
titles, and better assure the discovery and perfecting of defective and
disputed titles, and the recovery of property which, through disuse or
otherwise, has been lost sSight of and come into the wrongful possession of private parties.
OFFICIAL FILES OF THE GOVERNMENT.
My predecessors for many years past have called the attention of
Congress to the importance of providing a suitable building, centrally
located, for the safe and convenient keeping of the official recordwS,
documents, and papers of the Government. The importance and urgency
of this matter cannot be overstated, and I earnestly recommend that
early and favorable action be taken by Congress looking to the erection
of such a building.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The net expenditures on account of the District of Columbia for the
fiscal year .1891 were $5,635,510.61. The revenues deposited in the
Treasury on this account, for the same period, were $2,853,897.74.
There have been issued during the fiscal year 1891, $50,750 of the
3.65 per cent, bonds, in satisfaction of judgments of the Court of Claims
against the District. There have been retired by the operations of the
sinking-fund dujing the same period $331,500 of the bonded indebtedness of the District, making a net reduction of $280,750, and reducing
the annual interest charge $16,982.
LXXX
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
The net reduction in the bonded debt since July 1, 1878, is $2,606,350,
and in the annual interest charge $177,339.72. The bonded debt July
1,1891, was $19,500,300, of which there were due and payable on that
date $2,490,200 6 per cent, bonds and $276,700 7 per cent, bonds. To
provide for the payment of these bonds Congress, by act approved
March 3, 1891, authorized the issue of 3.50oper cent. b6nds, and the
Treasurer, in compliance with the provisions of the law, caused the
bonds to be prepared, advertised, and has sold $2,400,000 at a premium
of five hundred and thirty-one one-thousandths per cent., realizing tho
sum of $2,412,744, to be applied to the redemption of the matured
bonds. The act also authorized the sale of sufficient 3.50 per cent,
bonds to pay the bonds maturing in 1892.
The amount realized from the sale of bonds in which the retentions
from contracts with the District of Columbia were invested, in excess
of the amount due the contractors, have been deposited in the Treasury
as a miscellaneous receipt to the credit of the United States and District of Columbia in equal parts, as required by the act of February 25,
1885. The net surplus from this source at the close bf the fisaal year
1890was$30,676.18. During tjie fiscal year 1891, in settlement of these
accounts, the sum due the contractors is in excess of the amount realized
from the sale of bonds, showing a net loss of $2,609.22, reducing the
net surplus at the close of the fiscal year 1891 to $28,066.96.
The detailed information in regard to the affairs of the District of
Columbia will be found in the report to be submitted by the District
Commissioners and b y t h e Treasurer of the United States, ex-offlcio"

ItTOTE 1.—The annual interest charge is computed upon the amount of outstanding principal at the close of the fiscal year, and is exclusive of interest charge on Pacificrailway
bonds. Interest on the 4^ per cent loan is computed at the regular rate from J u l y 1, 1891, to date of maturity, September 1,1891, and at 2 per cent from that date to close of year.
NOTE 2.—The figures for J u l y 1, 1879, were made up assuming pending funding operations to have been completed.
ISTOTE 3.—The temporary loan per act of J u l y 11, 1862, is included in the 4 per cents from 1862 to 1868, inclusive, with the exception of the amount outstanding August 31,
1865, this being the date at which the public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 per cent to 6 per cent, and was redeemable on ten daj'^s' notice after thirty
days; but being constantly changing, it has been considered more equitable to include the whole amount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent interest on an average for the year.
NOTE 4.—tn the recent monthly statements of the public debt the interest accrued has been added to the principal, making the net debt larger in that amount than the
amount herein stated for each year.

EEPORT OF THE TREASURER.
TREASURY OF T H E U N I T E D STATES,
Washington, December Ij 1891,
S I R : I have tlie honor to submit the annual report on the operations
and condition of the Treasury.
For convenience of reference, the tabular stateinents relating to
the work of the past fiscal year, as well as those covering longer
I)eriods of time, are presented in the A|)pendix,3where they are grouped
according to their topics in the following general order: The revenues
and expenditures; the state of the Treasury; the receipts and disbursements of moneys; the issue and redemption of currency; the circulation; the public debt; and the redemption of national-bank notes.
In the preparation of the tables it has been the aim to begin with the
the minutest particulars that possess any degree of public interest, 'to
combine these into classes and groups, and lastly to deduce the net results. The operations of the fiscal year, forming the chief subject-matter
in hand, are shoAvn with much attention to detail, while those of former
years, where brought in for the purpose of presenting a connected historic survey, are treated in a more summary manner. From considerations suggested by current discussion and events, these tables have
been a good deal elaborated, for which perhaps no apology will be necessary, if in any measure they may serve to'throw new light on the matters
to which they relate.
Important legislation, creating a new kind of currencyj imposing a
new responsibility upon the Treasury, and completely transforming
some of the Departmental statements, has made it necessary to alter a
number of tables which have been more or less familiar to the readers
of former reports. Some other tables heretofore published, relating to
transactions long past, or to events of transient interest only, have
been shortened or dropped; but no matter of this kind has been omitted,
it is believed, that would be usefid in forming an understanding of the
business of the Treasury, or its bearing upon the financial history of
the country. So far as it has been loossible the statistics relating to
similar subjects have been compiled according to a uniform i)lan and
are presented in uniform shape.
REPORT ON T H E FINAKCES.
REVENUES AND E X P E N D I T U R E S .
There was a decrease of $10,468,535.32 in the net ordinary revenues
of the Government for the fiscal year as compared with those of the
year£before, from $403,080,982.63 to $392,612,447.31. At the same time
there was an increase of $57,636,198.14 in the ordinary exi3enditures,
excluding therefrom the amount paid in premium on the public debt.
The surplus revenues were thus cut down from $105,344,496.03 to
$37,239,762.57. Of this last sum $10,401,220.61 was expended in premium on bonds purchased, leaving $26,838,541.96 of surplus for the
year applicable to the extinction of as much of the principal of the
debt.
^
The net ordinary receipts and expenditures for the two years, together
with the premiums paid, are shown in the following table:

Besides the revenues, the amount of which is given as shown by the
receiving warrants issued, there was covered into the Treasury during
the year the aggregate sum of $373,208,857.75 as receipts on account of
the public debt, consisting of gold coin, silver dollars, and legal tencl er
notes deposited for certificates to be circulated as money; of United
States notes received for issue in place of others destroyed, of 4 per
cent bonds issued for refunding certificates, of Treasury notes of 1890
issued, and lastly of the fand which before hB,d been on deposit with tjie
Treasurer, as agent, for the retirement of national-bank notes.
The expenditures on the same account, which will be noticed more in
detail under another head, amount(3d to $365,352,470.87.
The postal revenues amounted to $65,762,908.55, an increase of
$4,656,867.26 over those of the preceding year, and the expenc^itures°to $72,067,580.65, an increase of $5,056,317.01. Of the revenuiis
$38,730,624.39 was received and disbursed by postmasters, without
passing through the Treasury. The balance standing to the credit of
the Post-Office Department on the Treasurer's books was $5,805,621.79
at the beginning of the year and $4,242,608.13 at the close.

STATE OF THE TREASURY.
As a public officer the Treasurer is responsible to his sui)erior for the
performance of his duties, which consist generally in receiving, keeping, and disbursing the funds of the Government. He stands in the
same relations to the Department that a banlier does tQ a depositor.
For each receipt or disbursement he must have a proper warrant; for
the balance, representing the excess of receipts over disbursements, he
must be able to show an. equivalent in lawful money or other acceptable
assets.
,
In its essential form the account kept with him on the books of the
Department is a sim]3le record of receipts on the one hand and of payments on the other. Save in exceptional cases the Departinent has no
concern in the kinds of money he may receive or pay out. He may accept from the taxpayer any kind of money the law allows, a^nd he
may satisfy the public creditor, iinless a.particular kind is specified in
the contract, with any he can most conveniently pay. Hence it follows
that the condition of the Treasury, with respect to the proi^ortions of
the difierent kinds of money composing its funds, is dependent much
upon the character of the circulating medium of the country, and to
a very great extent upon the management of the Treasurer and his
subordinate officers. A most important consideration with reference to
the state of the Treasury is, therefore, how much of each kind of money
the ^Treasurer may have in his custody against the balance charged to
him on the books of the Department.
On June 30,1890, that balance was $691,527,403.76. Adding thereto
the sum of $765,821,30^.06, which comprises the receipts of theyear from
all sources, gives $1,457,348,708.82 as the aggregate to be accounted for
on June 30, 1891. Out of .this there was disbursed, by warrant, the
total sum of $355,372,684.74 on account of the ordinary expens,es of the
Government, together with a total sum of $375,753,691.48 on account of
the public debt, making an aggregate disbursement of $731,126,376.22,
and leaving a balance of $726,222,332.60, for which the Treasurer must

The foregoing statement does not, however, comprise the whole of the
operations of the Treasury, nor do the figures rei^resent the sum of its
liabilities. Besides being the bank of the General Government, the Treasury is also the depository of the Post-Office Department, of the national
bank note redemption fund, and of the disbursing officers of the various
services of the Government, to whom the moneys to meet the expenditures are advanced in the first instance. Through these channels a
stream of money flows continuously in and out of theTreasury, and a
varying amount is always on hand, for which the Treasurer is responsible
on his so-called agency account, and for which also he must hold cash
or available credits. The balance of this account standing on his books
was $95,581,164.22 on June 30, 1890, and $50,290,009.36 on June 30,
1891. Lastly, the Treasurer held, at the former date, the sum of $323,589.78, and at the latter, the sum of $1,342,603.71, which had been
received on account of revenues, but not yet covered by warrant or
charged to him on the books of the Department. The total liabilities of
theTreasury, therefore, in the strictest technical sense in which the term
is understood, were $787,432,157.76 at the opening of the fiscal year, and
$777,854,945.67 at the close.
To meet these liabilities the Treasury held in the vaults and tills of
its ten offices, and in the several associated offices of the mint, in the

aggregate of cash items, which with the amounts on dex)osit to the Treasurer's credit in. depositary banks, a certain, sum deposited under a law
of 1836 with the States, and certain unavailable ftinds, composed exactly the same^ amounts. Arranged in tabular form the figures n:.ake

Of these assets the coin and paper money were instantly available,
with the exception of relatively small amounts of iincurrent coin, which
will be noticed on another page. The deposits with banks were subject to the Treasurer's draft. The gold and' silver bullion, the former
valued by weight, and the latter at the cost price, could be coined into
legal-tender pieces, in. the one case without loss, and in the other at an
apparent profit. The deposits with States, which occupy an anomalous
position, and would seem to be well worthy of the consideration, of
Congress, are held to be without the Treasurer's control, and are not
actually carried on his books, while the unavailable funds, repres(mting old losses from deficits and defalcations, have no existence as
assets, and are omitted by authority of the Secretary from the statements of cash in the Treasury rendered to him. The true assets and
liabilities were, therefore, $757,915,078.94 on June 30, 1890, and
$748,347,866.85 on June 30, 1891, as given elsewhere in this repDrt.
These figures represent, on the one side, the total cash actually at the
Treasurer's command, and measure, on the other, his accountability as
a public officer and his obligation to pay, whether on demand of the
Secretary or of any other i)erson.
Since the moneys of the Treasury are derived from three gein^ral
sources, which may be described as the revenues, the debt, and public
deposits, they are held for as many purposes, and the liabilities fall iato
as many categories. While generally no separation is made in the
moneys themselves, m t h reference to the accounts on which they were
received, and it would be inexact to say that any particular coins or
notes are held against a given liability, sums of gold, silver, and le^»^altender notes must be kept in reserve against certificates of deposit and
Treasury notes, and these sums may be considered as set apart, leaving
a residue of assets, which are held in the mass against the deposits

These figures, which exhibit the condition of the Treasury precisely
as it stood at the close of business on the days named, without confusing either prospective expenditures with liabilities or anticipa^ted revenues with assets, present, on their face, the apparent incongruity of
$499,000,000 of gold, silver, a,nd notes held against $541,000,000 of certificates, and of $248,000,000 in various assets standing against deposits
and the reserve, amounting together to only $207,000,000. The explanation is found in the certificates in the Treasury, against which nothing
needed to be held, and which might have been canceled and destroyed
without decreasing either the reserve or the assets necessary to protect
the certificates in-circulation. If the $31,215,633 of certificates in the
Treasury in 1890 and the $41,807,579 there in 1891 had in fact been
destroyed, the statement would have appeared thus:

Since June, 1890, the form of the loublished monthly statement of
assets iind liabilites has been twice-revised, and the document itself was
incorporated, at the last revision, into the debt statement, without, of
8
REPORT ON THJE FINANCES.
course, in any manner affecting the true condition of the Treasury oi'
altering the significance of existing facts. The changes that have been
made, where not mere matters of clerical or typographical technicality,
have amounted simply to a contraction of scope. The present form extends over less ground than some of the others, but the ground itself,
whether admitted or excluded, remains unchanged. Differences of
opinion exist respecting the value of the various shapes which have
been given to the document at different times, but it is believed that
this latest form will commend itself to the pubhc judgment for its sim13licity and clearness. I t consists of a lolain schedule of the moneys
and other assets, where each item stands, without comment, at the v alue
fixed by law and charged to the Treasurer, and of an equally plain list
of those liabilities only which exist in consequence of the presenc e of
those-assets. Where moneys are deposited for a specific object,'.^hat
object is stated as the liability; but where there is no object more specific than the current needs of the Government, no attempt is made to
find one. The Treasury is shown as it stands, not as it would stan-i in
the event of a variety of contingencies, all dependent upon time.
The method by which the state of the Treasury is daily ascertained
is illustrated in the appendix, where the condition of each office and
the composition of the funds held by the mint on June 30,1891, are given
as reported to the Treasurer. The figures for the ten offices of the
Treasury proper are first aggTcgated, as well as those for the eleven
offices of the mint, those for the depositary banks, and those for moneys
in transit. The four results are then combined, which brings out the
aggregate assets and the liabilities on the agency and general accounts.
To put this statement in the form in which it is published monthly the
liabilities on general account, which arise from outstanding certific£jtes
and Treasury notes of 1890, are set out separately, leaving a remainder
which is called the balance, and which in fact represents the liabihiies'
arising from revenues collected and not yet expended. For convenie.ace
of comparison the statement for June 30,1890, in the appendix, is made
up as if the fund for the retirement of national-bank notes, which by
the act of July 14, 1890, was transferred to the debt statement, had
already been covered into the Treasury.
By a direction in the act of March 3, 1891, making deficiency appropriations, the sum of $10,000, heretofore reported as unavailable in i3he
office of the assistant treasurer in San Francisco, representing losses
incurred in.his office without default or negligence on his part, hasbc^en
credited in the account of the Treasurer, and the item has disappeared
fi'om the list of unavailable funds. This is the only change that has occurred in these somewhat unsubstantial assets of the Treasury, an itemized stateinent of which is given, as usual, in the appendix. Including
the deposits with certain States, they amount, at present, to $29,5C7,078.82 for the Treasury itself, and $37,277.06 for the Post-Office Department.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Although the Treasurer is not charged with the management of the
debt of the United States, he receives the proceeds .of any loans t l at
may be made, and pays the interest as it falls due, as well as the pr:'ncipal when it matures. This part of his difties recfuires much of his attention and employs the labors of an important division of his office.
Besides, the debt stands in such intimate relations, not only to tlie
Treasury, but to the money circulation of the country as well, that no
satisfactory presentation of the condition of either can be made if tlie
9
TREAStfRER.
debt be left out of view. For these reasons a brief notice of the public
loans and of the changes made in them during the fiscal year will be
given.
Incidentally to the transfer of the fund for the retirement of surrendered national-bank circulation from the Treasurer's agency account,
where it had been secured by a full deposit of lawful money, to the
general Treasury, and the adoption of the outstanding notes as part of
the debt of the United States, the debt statement was recast and much
simplified. By a later revision, ih June, 1891, its scope was still more
clearly defined and its contents still more succinctly set forth. In its
present shape it presents few of the difficulties which before must have
been encountered in the attempt to explain the condition of the debt
and the relations of the Treasury thereto.
The outstanding principal of the various loans, classed according to
the character of their securities, on June 30,1890, and June 30, 1891,
was as given below, the bank-note redemption fund being included
under both dates:

With respect to the conditions and means of payment, the interestbearing loans were payable at future dates; the matured loans, the old
demand notes, the fractional currency, and the national-bank notes were
payable on demand, out of any moneys in theTreasury, for retirement
without reissue; the United States notes and Treasury notes were redeemable in coin, but when redeemed or received in the revenues the
reissue of like amounts was compulsory; and the certificates of deposit
were payable out of coin and legal-tender notes reserved for that purpose. Classified according to these conditions, the amounts outstandiug at the two dates were as follows:

Means for this expenditure were found in the $37,239,762.57 of surplus revenues for the year, together with $89,751,731.91 of the resc^rve in
the Treasury. The consequent reduction in the annual interest charge
was $4,322,092.35. A considerable part of these disbursements were
made at a time when the financial situation of the country was liighly
critical and the need of such relief was very urgent. At the same time,
during the months of September and October, 1890, as a further means
of relieving the monetary stringency, there were paid out of the Treasury, chiefly at the offices in Washington and New York, under t.tie circular of the Department dated September 6, the following amounts for
interest due from January 1 to July 1, 1891:

Since the certificates of deposits are mere titles to the ownership of
money in the Treasury, and since those in the Treasury itself, whether
acquired by redemption and awaiting destruction, or freshly printed
and held in readiness for issue, are mere vouchers for use in the settlement of an account, the virtual condition of the currency, as well as
that of the Treasury and the circulation, can best be shown by substituting in the place of certificates their value in the kind of money they
represent. The notes of 1890 have some peculiarities of their own, which
will be CQusidered under another head.' By making the substitution
for the certificates and treating all the silver and notes for the present
as one item, the following result is broiight-oiit:

at $1,500,067,555, or $2,846,149 more than is given above. This difference, although it appears to be one of fact, is really one of time. T h e .

from one or two days to a week old. I t happened that in the intervals
there were heavy receipts at these offices from the revenues, while a
large sum was in transit from depositary banks. These changes in the
Treasury, are fully explained in the appendix, and the apparent diffeience in the amount of money in circulation is a direct consequence from
them.
I t appears from the above figures that during the year there was a net
loss of forty-nine millions of gold, with a net gain of nearly forty-two
miUions of other money, and a consequent net contraction of about
seven millions in the whole volume. The details of the movements which
together produced this result, as well as those for each year since 1878,
may be gathered from the tables in the appendix, which show the composition and distribution of the stock of money, together with the imports and exports of gold, at intervals of a month.
Collated from that source, the figures showing the movements of
gold, and the resulting changes in the amount of the general stock of
that metal, for each month of the last fiscal year, are as follows:

The table perhaps requires no comment, unless it should be a word in
explanation of the columns of net production and consumption. These
are filled in by adding the imports to the stock of the previous month,
subtracting the exports from t h e sum, and comparing the remainder
with the estimated stock at the end of the month. If the remainder is
less than the estimated stock, the difference is set down as the net production; if less, as the net consumption for the inonth. I t may be remarked, too, that the figures for the stock are those frirnished by the
Director of the Mint, and published monthly by the Department, with
the exception of those for June in each year, which are taken fi^om the
revised estimate published in the Director's annual report. As the regular monthly estimates are unavoidably made from imperfect data, they
must be taken as provisional or approximate merely; a.nd necessarily
whatever inaccuracies they may contain are reproduced in the figures,
which here^are derived from them. The estimates for the end of each
fiscal year, however, may be relied upon as the best that can be, obtained. I t is assumed, therefore, that the figures above given for the
net production of the year are correct, and that the errors, if any, in the
column of monthly production' are offset by those in the column of >
monthly consumption.

TREASURER.
Such heavy exports of gold as signalized the last six months of the
year, the heaviest by far that have been recorded in the history of the
country, naturally excited profound interest, not only at home, but
throughout the whole world. To the Treasury this outflow was particularly significant, since the Treasury was obliged to furnish all the material. I t is well understood, indeed, and it will appear in other parts
of the present report, that this gold was drawn almost altogether from
the sub-treasury in New York, in exchange for other kinds of money.
I t is important to know, and the inquiry may throw some light upon the
monetary situation, what those other kinds of money were. The records
do not a];)pear to have been kept in such a manner as to show directly,
and in the lack of better data the daily report of receipts and disbursements rendered to this office have been resorted to. During the period
in question the assistant treasurer paid out gold coin for gold certificates
directly, for gold certificates and other kinds of money upon what is
called his exchange account, and in small sums on disbiirsing officers'
checks. It has been x)ossi.ble, therefore, to compile two tables, which
Avill bc found in the appendix, the one showing all the operations involving the paying out of gold for other kinds of money, and the other all
the rest of the operations of whatever nature. Summarized for the six
months ending with June, the first of these shows the following result:

While some gold was gained from other sources, and considerable
sums in exchange for other currency, it is here seen that the operations
by which the metal was drawn from the subtreasury resulted in a loss
exceeding the actual exxDorts, and exceeding by $17,000,000 the receipts
of gold certificateSo
These movements were the result, apparently, of the operation of
natural laws. No statute requires the importation, exportation, mining,
or industrial employment of a single dollaris worth of gold. Whatever
expenditure of time, labor, and substance the cost may have been was
made at private risk, presumably for private profit. The motives of the
miner and the goldsmith are plain; the circumstances which give the
opportunity to either are equally so. The exporter of gold is not less the
simple man of business. Before an ounce of gold is put aboard ship
his profit is certain or reasonably sure. In the exercise of a legitimate
calling, performing, in fact, a necessary and useful service for the commercial world, he is not to blame that his clients have been willing to
pay him his premiums, or that his operations in the short siD'ace of six
months have drained the country of the tenth part of its entire stock of
gold. This result, even, is differently viewed by different interests.
Nevertheless, the condition of things which has made it possible,
whether due to domestic or foreign causes, to financial legislation or the
state of trade, whether viewed as unusual and alarming or as ordinary
and of no significance, would seem to be worthy of the most carefril
study. No attempt is here made to throw any light on the subject
further than to state the facts and to advance a few jDoints, which^
thoughjying on the surface, are often overlooked.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Concurrently with the operations in gold there went on a set of
others, which affected the remainder of the currency to nearly as great
an extent. These, however, were induced by causes entirely different
and perfectly plain. They consisted in the purchase and coinage of
silver, conducted, of course, by the Government in compliance with
law, and the contraction of the national-bank circulation, induced, in
the main, by the retirement of the bonded debt. The former ^produced
an increase of fifty-eight millions in the stock of silver, and the latter
a diminution of eighteen millions in the stock of bank notes. The
changes from month to month in the stock of silver dollars and bullion,
of fractional silver coin, and national-bank notes, are shown in the following table:

In the appendix will be found tables, occupying a number of pages, in
which, for the first time in a public document, the attempt is made to
give a connected view of the amount, composition, and general distribution of the money of the country over any extended jjeriod of time.
They are in the main a ftirther elaboration of matter first presented in
the report for 1890, with a considerable enlargement of scope and the introduction of much.new material. So frill are they that perhaps there
is no fact obtainable from the records, not such a mere matter of detail
as to possess no statistical interest, relating to their subject and to tho
TREASURER.
^
15
time they cover, from June 30, 1878, to September 30,1891, that can not
be gathered from them. The figures for the Treasury holdings are taken
uniformly from the Treasurer's monthly statements of assets and liabilities, while those for the stock of gold and silver are taken, with the
exception mentioned below, from the official estimates.
The chief difficulty encountered in the preparation of these tables
arose fr^om the insufficiency of data relating to the coin circulation.
The records of the coinage and movement of silver dollars are very
complete, but the estimates of the stock of gold and of fractional silver
coin, down to 1887, had been made at intervals of a year, whereas, for
these tables, they were wanted by inonths. To fill the vacant places a
method was adopted which may be briefly explained. By adding to
the stock at the beginning of any year the imports for that year, subtracting the exports from the sum, and subtracting this remainder from
the estimated stock at the beginning of the next year, a result was obtained which represents the year's domestic production in excess of the
use in the arts. This quantity was then divided into twelve equal parts
and one part was added to the stock obtained for each month as the result of importations and exportations. While the method is indirect
and the result provisional, the only possibility of error is in the distribution of the year's domestic production and consumption. From the
nature of the case the approximation to the fact must be close^^perhaps
close enough for all purposes. With the help of this expedient it became possible to develop the entire scheme of the currency and circulation, by no means simple or easy to understand. The result is submitted Avith regret that it has been necessary to occui^y so much space,
• THE CIRCULATIONo
The monetary history of the past fiscal year is unusually interesting,
and not less so from the character than the magnitude of the movem ents
recorded, Promptly with the beginning of July the autumnal expansion
of the circulation set in, drawing material not only from the Treasury
reserves and foreign gold, the accustomed sources of supply, but also,
a little later on, in greatly increased quantities, fr'om the Government
purchases of silver. The month of September witnessed the unparalleled event of the addition of nearly $62,000,000 to the money in the
hands or control of the people. AU of this, with the exception of a
million of gold imported from other countries, was paid out of the Treasury, During the remainder of the season, to the end of December,
there occurred a still further expansion of thirty millions of dollars, of
which twenty-two millions came from the Treasury and eight milhons
in gold from abroad. Altogether, between the I s f of July and the
1st of January, the circulation was increased by the addition of
abnost exactly a hundred million dollars, consisting of fifty millions in
gold and gold certificates, twenty-seven millions in silver and silver
certificates, together with twenty-three millions in notes. To effect
this result the Treasury paid out seventy-one millions of dollars on
balance and twenty-eight millions in purchases of silver, while the
gold mines produced ten millions in excess of the quantity used in the
^ arts, making in all an increase of a hundred and nine millions; but as
against this a net million in gold was lost to foreign countries and
eight miUions in national-bank notes were retired.
While a movement of this kind has occcurred annually, since the
resumption of specie payments, with the single exception of the year
1885, it never before attained such proportions, or even approached
them, since the period of rapid and continuous expansion which followed
resumption^ The general causes of this annual movement^ as AYCII as
16
REPORT ON THE FINANCES,
the special conditions which influenced it during the past year, are well
understood, and need not be mentioned here,
in January there began a reverse current, though not exactly in a
rjBverse direction. The people who had demanded this hundred millions of ready cash had made their use of it, and collectively A^ere ready
to part with a considerable portion of it. But the Treasury, Avhich had
found the means of paying it out, was not in a position to call it back.
Money began to find its way into the great commercial centers, foreign
exchange began to rise, and gold bars began to be taken from the
Treasury for shipment abroad. The new safeguards throAvn about the
gold reserve of the Treasury at the last session of Congress were resorted
to and doubtless produced their effect, though it would be difficult to
estimate the value of the protection they afforded. By the end of June
the exports of gold had reached the unexampled figures of $70,000,000
for the six months, and $86,000,000 for the year. Opinions, agreeing
in the main with respect to the causes of the expansion of the first half
of the year, differ widely as to the causes of this rapid contraction in the
last half The facts alone can be discussed in this report.
Concurrently AvLth this outflow of gold the Treasury poured into the
circulation eight and a half millions on balance, and about thirty milhons
through the operations in silver, while nine and a half millions of gold were
extracted from the mines in excess of the industrial consumption, and
three millions of the same metal were imported, making in all a gain of
fifty-one millions. On the other hand, there must be added to the contraction of seventy millions resulting from exports of gold another of
nearly ten millions caused by the retirement of national-bank notes,
inaking eighty millions in all, and exceedmg the realizations from the
sources of supply by twenty-nine milhons. Tn fact, the circulation
declined in the six months from $1,528,736,268 to $1,499,618,800.
It will of course be understood that these particular gains and losses
of monetary material, while they directly affected the circulation in
volume, did not in like manner alter it in composition. The value of the
gold exported came through the banks out of the pockets of the people,
but the metal itself was drawn in great part fr'om the Treasury. Other
operations, too, had thefr usual influence. The actual changes of the six
months in the composition of the circulation consisted in a loss of tA^entysix millions in gold and gold certificates, together Avith one of eleven
milhons in silver and silver certificates, and a net gain of eight milhons
in notes. The net changes in the volume of the circulation in the first
and last six months and the whole twelve months of each of the past
thirteen fiscal years, as well as the net average change in each period for
the whole time, are shown,4n round numbers, in the following table:

During the period covered by the fiscal years 1879, 1880, and 1881,
in the first six months of which the paper currency passed for the first
time at the par of its face value, the circulation was increased by the
enormous amount of $312,000,000, of Avhichallbut a hundred million was
in the form of foreign and domestic gold. No such transition has been
passed through since, nor haA^e any such rapid changes occurred in the
circulation. Within that period the amount of money in the hands of
the people increased from season to season and from year to year; but
since then, Avith the single exception already noted,, a greater or smaller
growth from January to July has been followed by a contraction of less
volume and narrower variations from July to January. It seeins proper,
therefore, in computing an average for comparison with the results of a
single year, to take only the data for the ten years since 1881, a period
in which it is true there have been some changes of legislation, and some
other important occurrences both at home and abroad, but a period
nevertheless in which substantially the same conditions have prevailed
as now exist. For the past ten years, then, it is found that from the
end of June to the end of December the circulation has been increased
on the average by $52,200,000, and from the end of December to the
end of June it has been diminished on the average by $14,200,000, leaving an average net gain of $38,000,000 for the whole twelvemonth. The
increase actually reahzed in the past year has, therefore, been nearly
double the average, and in the past tA\^o years has exceeded the average
h j $43,000,000. The bearing of these facts upon possible future changes
. in the currency^may be worthy of serious consideration in the present
situation of the monetary affairs of the country.
The plan of receiving money at the subtreasuries and forwarding new
notes, Avhich during the autumn months are wanted in small denominations, from Washington to any j^lace that may be designated, has been
found to work Avell as an aid in moAdng the crops, and has been in satisfactory operation during the season now about to close. Congress at the
last session made proAdsions, which were promptly carried out, for
largely increasing the facilities of the printing bureau, and the personal
attention of the Secretary, who early in the summer gave directions that
CA^ery resource of the Department should be employed in the work of
supplying currency, has produced a result which has been not less beneficial to the country than gratifying to the officials of the Treasury.
Under his superAdsion an ample stock of notes, in denominations of
from $1 to $20, was ready when the time came, a thing that had not
happened" before in some years. North, South, and West have been
freely supplied with whatever kind of currency was wanted, at inconsiderable expense to the consignors, while the Treasury has suffered
from none of the embarrassments which it so often labored under before,
as the consequence of inadquate foresight and provision.
Between July 1st and November 13th the Department sent out in
all directions $49,272,278 in these small notes, chiefly for deposits in
the subtreasury in New York. During the month of September alone
these deposits amounted to upAvards of $21,000,000, or more than the
aggregate for the months of July, August, and September, 1890, and
they AYcre followed by $13,000,000 more in October. The magnitude of
these operations can be appreciated by comparing them with the like
transactions in the twelve months of the past fiscal year, which reached
a total of only $61,000,000. With the aid thus rendered to the commercial community the handling of the enormous crops of the year has required httle effort and produced no strain, while money has never been
easier or more plentiful.

= REPORT ON THE FINANCES,
I t was x)ointed out in the last report that the policy, which has been
persisted in for the past eight years, of making no provision for the
free transportation of United States paper currency to Washington for
redemption, imposes double work upon the Department, without effecting any considerable saAdng of expense. So long as the Government
paid the express charges on worn-out notes and certificates they Avere
sent in to the Treasury by bankers from nearly every part of the country for other kinds of money or for checks on the assistant treasurers.
In this way the paper circulation was kept in good condition, the people
had no difficulty in obtaining the kinds and denominations of money
they wished, and the work of redemption was carried on at Washington, where the machinery for it has been erected.
But when the appropriations were stopped, in 1883, and the banks
were required to bear the transportation charges on the Avorn United
States currency they sent to Washington, they chose rather to pay it
out in their business, if it was at all fit for use, or to send it to their
nearest correspondent. The notes thus find their way to the large
cities, and next into the subtreasuries, either in the public revenues or
for redemption in lawful money. After having been counted and
assorted there, they are put up in iDarcels and sent to the Treasury, of
course at the Government's expense. Here they are again counted, in
the same manner as if they had been received directly from the interior
bank, and they are ultimately paid for, in seasons when the receipts are
not largely in excess of the disbursements, by shipment^ of new money
to supply the subtreasuries, hkewise at the expense of the Treasury.
Only a small proportion of the notes redeeined each year are received
directly from private holders, and only a like proportion of the cost of
transportation is saved to the Government. A t the same time the
labor of primary redemption is practically transferred to the subtreasuries, and the Treasury acts merely in rcAdew of their work.
A return to the former practice would seem to be prudent, if, indeed,
it did not prove, on trial, to be advantageous in several Avays. An
effect that would probably result from it would be the more rapid retirement of the older issues, of which the remnants still extant are
worn by the service of many years.
TREASURY NOTES OF 1890.
On August 19,1890, there A^ere paid out the first of the "Treasury
notes authorized by the act of July 14, of the same year, to be issued
in the purchase of silver buUion. B y t h e end of the fiscal year the
issues had reached $50,228,417, and on the 30th of September last there
were $64,251,130 of the notes outstanding, of the denominations of $1,
$2, $5, $10, $20, $100, and $1,000.
These notes seem destined to assume a prominent and peculiar place
in the financial history of the future. They possess properties and
qualities Avhich are nowhere to be found in any other description of
currency. The operations of which their issue forms a part are the
most important of the kind, in character and magnitude, noAV going on
anywhere in the world:
The exact status of the notes has yet to be settled, and the precise
duties they are to perform in the circulation haA^e yet to be determined.
The law which creates them presents several difficulties of construction.
In constitution they much resemble the older legal-tender notes, while
in mode of issue they are more like silver certificates. As the United
States notes, after many years of discussion, are generally recogTiized

to be a loan secured by a reserve of a hundred millions of gold, so the
new notes will doubtless, in time, be regarded as a similar loan, secured
by a full deposit of silver dollars and bulb on. For the time being, at
least, they are so treated by the Department, as Avill be seen by the follOAving table, Avhich shows the amount of bullion and coin held against
them at the end of each month, the amount of notes issued, and their
distribution as be tAveen the Treasury and the circulation:

As the new notes appear to fall Avithin the provisions of the act of June
8, 1872, they are received on deposit for currency certificates. This has
added a UCAV intricacy to the monetary sj^stem and a new class to the
assets of the Treasury. Let a million dollars' worth of silver be purchased Avith a million dollars' Avorth of notes, and let the notes be deposited for certificates, and there appears on the face of things to have
been a sudden expansion of the currency by $3,000,000. Then let the
certificates be returned in the revenues, and the Treasury has increased
its cash holdings by the same amount, while the real effect of the whole
operation has been that the Treasury has received a milhon^of .revenue
in silver bullion at the market price, and has assumed the obligation
to reissue, in its expenditures, a million of its promissory notes for redemption in silver or gold at its own option. The Aartual increase of
the money stock has, of course, been only a million dollars, in the shape
of uncoined sih^er A^alued at the current price of that metal in the markets of the Avorld.
,
In compiling the statistics relating to the currency, and more particular! 3^ in attempting to make plain the complicated relations existing between the Treasury, the monetary stock, and the circulation, it
has been found couA^enient, if indeed it be not necessary, to treat the
increase of money resulting fr'om the operations of the law of 1890 as
consisting of silver alone. On the other hand, since the notes, whether
in the hands of the citizen or in the tills of the Treasury, are the evidences of the obhgation to pay, not in silver alone, but in gold or. silver,
the increase of the circulation its.elf, as well as that of the assets of the
Treasury, so far as it is due to the x)resence of the new paper, is treated
as one of notes alone. There is thus presented the paradox of a groAvth
of the stock of silver without change in the stock, of notes, and agroAvth
of the circulation of notes without change in the circulation of silver.
Upon a little reflection, however, it Avill doubtless be recognized that
this, i^axadoxical as it may ax^pear, is the simplest vicAv that can be
taken of what is actually going on. In this vicAv, at least, has the matter been considered in the present report, the first of the series in Avhich

the subject has been mentioned; and it has been found possible to
marshal the statistics of the currency on these lines, in such manner as
to exhibit the composition of the whole stock, and its distribution between the' Treasury and the people, in the simplest form, without conflict or contradiction, save on this point alone.
An enormous respouvsibility is imposed hy this law of 1890 upon the
Treasury and mint. Fifty-four million troy ounces are 3,702,857 avoirdux)ois pounds,, or upAvards of 1,851 tons. Nearly two thousand cart
loads of silver must be stowed away each year in the Government's
vaults. The annual collection of such a vast quantity of treasure, which,
though Avidely distributed, must necessarily accumulate in heaA^y masses,
Avill ultimately, if continued for any great length of time, raise questions
not merely of safe-keeping, but even of national defense.
THE COINAGE.
More liberal appropriations by Congress have made it possible to
effect a measurable improvement in the condition of the coinage, particularly the silver, and at the same time to relieve the Treasury of a
large part of the superfluous subsidiary coins Avhich it has had to carry
for a number of years. During the fiscal year the following ainounts of
gold, silver, and minor coins were transferred from the Treasury offices
to the mint to berecoined, or, in the case of the last, to be cleaned
where recoinage was unnecessary:

loss was a little less than one-half of 1 per cent, while in that of the
silver it was upwards of 5 i)er cent.

TREASURER, o
21
While these figures would appear to show that the improvement in
the condition of the silver coinage was offset by the degradation in
that of the gold, it is not so, for the reason that, as seen above, the
cost of restoration to full weight, in the case of gold, is not the tenth
part of Avhat it is in the case of silver.
As the result of this expenditure for recoinage and of some special
efforts in other directions the amount of fractional silver coin in the
Treasury was reduced from $20,563,708.87 to $16,846,619.77 in the
twelve months ending the 30th of last September. The relief thus
afforded to the Treasury vaults may perhaps best be appreciated by
considering that the weight of the metal thus parted Avith, it is hoped
permanently, is upward of 200,000 pounds avoirdupois.
Many of the inquiries for fractional silver specify new coins,-and
much of the difficulty in the way of enlarging the popular use of this
kind of money is found in the objection A\^hich most bankers appear to
have against all coins showing any signs of wear. But for this prejudice, which, perhaps is not confined to banking circles, and which in the
case of silver is altogether groundless, it is believed that the present
stock of subsidiary silver would long ago have been absorbed into the
circulation.
.^
While the laws relating to the gold coinage provide that worn or
abraded pieces shall be received by the Treasury only when the reduction in Av^eight is not more than one-half of 1 per cent below the stand- •
ard after a circulation of twenty years, and at a ratable proportion for
any period Ifess than twenty years, there are absolutely no restrictions
whatever upon the receipt of any of the silver coins, no matter how
much reduced in weight, if the reduction be the effect ^f natural abrasion, and not of willful mutilation. This distinction betA^een the coins
of the two metals was first made in the coinage act of 1873, and has
been adhered to without interruption since.
Such differences of practice are always more or less confrising, and
this one has caused much popular misunderstanding. However, it is
not only based on good grounds, but is almost necessary. The gold
coins are manufactured'at the mint t)ut of bullion brought by a private
citizen, who receives back weight for weight and value for value, without charge for the work done. To all intents and purposes the gold remained throughout the operation what it was at first, the private property of the owner. The benefits of the manufacture into coin were all on
the side of the citizen; the cost was all borne by the Government.
When in the course of business a coin of such origin is offered to the
Treasury in a worn or mutilated condition and of less intrinsic value
than the standard fixed by law for the money of the country, it is clearly
proper that the Government should prescribe a reasonable limit of loss
as the utmost it is A\dlling to assume. Since gold is the monetary standard, the value of the dollar of account is the same as that of the legaltender piece. If the weight of that piece is allowed to be reduced by
wear, the value of the doUaT of account depreciates in like proportion.
Hence it is highly important that gold coins seriously reduced in weight
should not possess the frill legal-tender quality, and the law provides
that any such coins in the. Treasury, when the reduction amounts to
more than one-half of 1 per cent of the standard weight, shall be recoined.
But with the silyer coinage the case is entirely different. This, from
the dollar down to the dime, is manufactured, not fr'om metal brought
to the mint by the producer, and for his benefit, but from bullion pur-
22
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
chased by the GoA^ernment in the market, and at a large profit. That
which gives value to the gold dollar, and at the same time to the dollar
of account, is weight of metal, to be determined by a scale; that Avhich
gives value to the silver dollar, and makes it equal to the dollar of account, is the fiat of the Government, expressed by a stamp. The metal
will wear away, and the value with it; but the. fiat is unchangeable,
and stands so long as the stamp can be recognized. Hence it is that
while the Government can not afford to receive gold coins which have
been reduced in weight to the extent of one-half, of 1 per cent, and
it is necessary to the maintenance of the standard of value that this
regulation should be rigidly observed, no silver piece is CA^er weighed
at the Treasury to determine whether it shall be received, and none
can be rejected for lightness of weight, no matter how great the deficiency, if the loss be apparently due to natural abrasion.. A perfectly
new silver coin may be handsomer than an old, worn one, and more
desirable in the eyes of some people, but it is no better money. In
some respects, indeed, the advantage is Avith the latter. The counterfeiter takes as his model the perfect or nearly perfect piece. The
smooth half dollar, quarter, or dimej with its shining surface and faint
outlines of devices, is pretty certain to be genuine; but the rough, unAvorn one, AAdth its soiled and discolored indentations, or even the clean,
new one, may be spurious.
These remarks have been ventured upon, not to apologize for the
condition of the silver circulation, nor to criticise the public taste in
such matters, but AAath the single object of removing a wid^espread misapprehension, Avhich has worked to the disadvantage of the Treasury.
There can, of course, be no excuse for alloAving any part of the'coinage
to faU into neglect, and no reason why Congress should fail to make
proper provisions for keeping all of it in good condition. If Congress
does not see fit to do this by making a permanent annual appropriation
of as much as may be necessary, another special appropriation of not
less than $150,000 is earnestly recommended.
No extensive investigation of the condition of the gold coinage has
been made, but when the exports set in la,st spring a bag of each of the
three larger denominations, taken haphazard out of the vaults of the
NeA7 York subtreasury, was weighed, with the folloAmig results, stated

In the aggregate there was a considerable decrease from the year before, showing presumably a corresponding improvement in the condition
of the currency in this respect. Since the date of the last report there
have been seen at this office two examples of a new counterfeit of the .
ten-dollar United States note bearing the Adgnette of Webster; four of
the five-dollar note of the Quincy National Bank, of Quincy, IU.; and
one of the five-doUar note of the First National Bank, of Bay City,
Mich., all photogra/phic. Under date of August 6, 1891, the Kinsman
National Bank, of Kinsman, Ohio, informed the Treasurer that $500 of
its notes, of the denomination^ of $10 and $20, bearing Treasury numbers 577058 to 577067 and bank numbers 520 to 529, signed by the
president but not by the cashier, had been stolenTrom its vault by burglars. Under the regnilations of the Department these notes A^ill not
be redeemed at this office. None of them have yet been seen, and it is
not known whether they have been put in circulation, or not.
Thdre has been redeemed out of the appropriation of $2,500 ma;de by
the act of September 30, 1890, the aggregate sum of $1,350 of the notes
of the Third National Bank, of >New York; the First NationalBank,
of Jersey City; and the National City Bank, of Lynn, which were stolen,
between the years 1864 and 1868, from the office of the Comptroller of
tlie Currency. The estimate for the appropriation was prepared in this
office from the records of former rejections, and proAdded for all of the
notes certainly knoA^n to have been in circulation and not redeemed out
of a former appropriation, Anth a small margin of excess. Since the
appropriation became available a sum in notes never before seen at this
office has been redeeined, which, together Avith the remainder of the
notes estimated for, would exceed the amount authorized to be used;
but as the fact that the notes had become payable was widely announced
in the newspapers, and as none of them have been presented since February 4, it is presumable that not many more of them are in existence.
Out of a block of forty-tAvo consecutive numbers of the hundred-dollar
notes not one has ever been seen, and it has always been understood
that these, with a large part of the others, were destroyed by the thief
to avoid detection.
Although the appropriation Avill doubtless be ample to provide for
the retirement of the last of these notes, the= Treasurer can not take
them from the list of irredeemable notes, because so many of them are
still theoretically outstanding Avithout any provision to meet them.
Although the jmblic may feel reasonably sure that all danger from them
has been removed, yet as the matter now stands no one can with safety
receive a bank note of any of the same denominations without scruti

nizing the title and numbers.. It is suggested that, considering all
the circumstances, it AYOuld be well fbr Congress to appropriate the remaining sum of $9,750 required to coA^er the AA^IOIC theft. The j)robability that any part of tliis money Avould actually be needed is A^ery
remote, but such a step AA^ould relieve the jjublic of all future risk from
a source for many years so extremely dangerous.
NATIONAL BANKS.
United States bonds of the face A^alue of $142,508,900 Avere held in
trust June 30, 1891, to secure the circulating notes of national banks, a
decrease of $2,719,400 during the year. There weve also held $26,349,500
of bonds to secure public deposits, a decrease of $3,363,500. Two hundred and thirty-nine new banks AVere organized and deposited bonds.
Seven UCAV depositaries were designated, and ten old ones were discontinued. Altogether $22,099,050 of bonds were deposited during the
year, and $28,181,950 were Avithdrawn. The amount of each kind
remaining on deposit at the close of the year is shown in the folloAAdng

4J per cent bonds held to secure circulation, and $2,15.8,000 held to
secure deposits, were continued at 2 per cent.
The amount paid into the Treasury during the year by the national
banks as the semi-annual duty on their outstanding circulation was
$1,216,104.72, a decrease of $38,734.93 as compared with the preceding
year.
PACIFIC RAILROAD SINKING FUNDS.
First-mortgage bonds of the Pacific railroads amounting to $1,331,750
were added during the year to the sinking fund of the Union Pacific
Eailroad, and $426,000 of them to that of the Central Pacific Eailroad,
by purchase. All of the United States-4 per cent bonds formerly
belonging to the first-named fund have been sold and the proceeds invested in first-mortgage bonds. The composition of these funds on
June 30,1891, is shown below:

TREASURER.
Since the above date $580,000 of the bonds held for the Union Pacific
have been exchanged for a like amount of first-mortgage bonds of the
different roads at a profit of $34,133.15. A like exchange of $67,000
for the Central Pacific produced a profit of $2,246.23. In both cases
the profits were invested in bonds of the same kind as those acquired
by the exchange.
The continued growth of these funds, and the prospect that in a
short time they Afill consist entirely of coupon bonds, will soon make
an increase of vault space indispensablej to say nothing of other muchneeded conveniences for handling the bonds and cutting the coux)ons.
There are now $14,000,000 of such bonds in the vault, which must
be kept separate according to the road which issued them, the year
and month in which they mature, and the series to which they belong.
They are issued by six different companies, and mature in different
months of each of five years, from 1895 to 1899.
The bonds of the Central Pacific are issued in eight series, and bonds
of each series are held. Interest becomes due on them, and coupons
must be cut from them, in January, February, May, June, July, August,
NoA'^ember, and December. All of these securities are payable to bearer,
and if any of them were lost they might be sold in the open market
before they were missed. They are kei^t in the same vault as those of
the registered bonds belonging to the national banks, of which there
are nearly four thousand lots. These last must all be examined and
counted at least once a year by the authorized agents of the banks, a
work that should be done inside the vault, but can not be, for want of
space.

Florida and $15,000 of Louisiana stocks were withdrawn from the fund
and became the property of the United States. Next day, by the same
authority, $26,000 of Florida and $4,000 of North CaroUna stocks were
transferred in the same manner. A t the same time $24,000 of the
United States bonds issued to Pacific raifroads were sold and thcproceeds deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Delaware tribe of
Indians! On September 3, 1891, the bonds of the State of Maryland,
amounting to $8,350.17, were paid.

REDEMPTION OF NATIONAL-BANK NOTES.
The heavy fluctuations which liaA^e characterized the movements of
money have been reflected in the bank-note redemptions, and these
have been large in proportion to the volume of the notes outstanding.
A greater amount was presented in January, when currency began to
return from the interior, than in any prcAdous month since May, 1889,
although in the interval the outstanding circulation had been reduced
from two hundred and fifteen to one hundred and seventy-five millions.
Nearly sixty-seven millions were redeemed in the fiscal year, a decrease
of about three millions as compared with the year before. A full statement of the year's operations, including, besides the details presented
in former reports, some others which are given for the first time, will be
found in the appendix.
What public interest is now taken in the redemiDtion of bank notes
is centered chiefly in the effect upon the currency and in the changes
in the fund on deposit in the Treasury for the retirement of surrendered
circulation, topics which have already been touched upon in this reiDort,
and of which the former has perhaps been sufficiently discussed.
The fresh, deposits made during the yea-r for the withdrawalof notes
from circulation amounted to $9,728,060, of which $8,048,530 was received
from banks desiring to reduce their issues, $1,600,200 for banks whose
affairs are being wound up, and $79,330 for the retirement of notes
issued prior to the extension of charters.
The redemptions of the jiear from the aggregate fund were .$25,329,027.50^ so that the balance on deposit was reduced from $55,619,359.75

Partly by anticipation, but chiefly by accepting the Secretary's offer
of extension, the banks were able to tide over the maturity of the:4^
per cent bonds without any considerable effect upon their circulation.
Indeed, the deposits of the new bonds during the months of July,
August, and September exceeded the withdrawals of the old, and the
new circulation issued on them not only checked for the time the gradual contractions that had so long been going on, but actually increased
the volume of this currency by some $4,000',0P0. Only $1,088,663
of lawftil money was deposited in this period for the retirement of outstanding notes, while $4,566,917 of notes were redeemed, so that the
new issues would appear to have amounted to about $7,500,000.
Some little difficulty has arisen in the admihistration.of the actof
June 20, 1874, from the narrowness of the Avorking balance now
afforded by the '5 per cent redemption fund. Many banks have less
than $1,000 on deposit, and a majority of them all have iio more than
$2,250 each. Although by strict interpretation the laAV would require
all redemptions to be reimbursed by the banks before the dehvery of
any part of the redeeined notes from the Treasury, this provision was
early found to be unnecessaTily burdensome to the banks and vexatious
to the Department. For the last sixteen years it has been the uniform
practice to deliver the redeemed notes forthe bank's account on the
same day that they were charged to the redemption fund, provided
only that the whole amount of the notes did not exceed the lawful
money on deposit. Manifestly, while the Treasurer could run no risk
in parting Avith notes already paid for by the bank of issue, and could
subserve no useful purpose in refrising to do so, he had no authority to
let notes go out of his custody which had not been so paid for, but had
in fact been received in exchange for other moneys belonging to the
Treasury itself
As long as the redemption ftind was ample this system worked satisfactorily; so satisfactorily, indeed, that manj^ bank officers appear to
have given themselves little concern about the matter, and made their
remittances, not in response to the Treasurer's notifications, as the laAV
requires, but only Avhen currency was actually received from the Department. In time they began to consider it their right to haA^e their
notes collected and deliA^ered, no matter Avliat the amount might be, and
to pay for them at their convenience. Many of the smaller banks in
28
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
particular, Avith $562.50 on deposit, have fallen into this error. In the
interval fr'om one assortment of a bank's notes to the next it frequently
happens that more are redeemed than this sum will take up, and the
redemption agency is obliged to hold a part or all of them for a frirther
dei)osit. A notice is sent to the bank, expressed as clearly as possible,
reciting the facts, and calling fbr the necessary remittance.
This communication has a forcible legal effect. A bank failing to respond to it forthwith is in default—may even be exposed to suminary
proceedings. But the paper in manj^ cases is misunderstood or laid
aside. No currency being, received, no remittance is made. The outstanding notes of the bank continue to be presented at the Treasury
and continue to be redeemed. In a fcAv weeks another sum of them has
accumulated. Another notice is sent to the bank, and receives as little
attention as the first. Eventually a considerable part of a bank's circulation may be in the Treasurer's hands. Correspondence is opened,
misunderstandings are found to exist, explanations are asked for, long
transcripts of account are exchanged. The bank officer at last is made
to see that unless he redeems his notes as the law requires they must
go to protest, and be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds
on deposit for their security; also that this proceeding will lead to the
forfeiture of his charter and the appointment of a receiver. To prevent such a catastroiDhe he remits in one sum, perhaps not Anthout incouA^enience, what he might have remitted from time to time in a number of small installments, lies out of the use of his inoney till the return
remittance reaches him, feels perhaps that he has been badly treated,
and, strange as it may seem, allows himself, by returning to his* former
methods, to get into the same entanglement the next time the occasion
arises.
All this is avoided by the best conducted banks, and might be
aA^oided by all, with np hardship to them, and much less trouble "to the
Treasurer, by a little attention to the scheme of the redemption system set up by law, if not to the plain requirements of the law itself.
The fundamental iDrin'ciple of the plan is that national-bank notes are
redeemable at the Treasury out of money advanced by the bank of
issue. Necessarily the original deposit must become impaired, and
that too without the direct knowledge of the bank. When this has occurred to the extent of not less than $500, the Treasurer may notify
the bank of the fact, whereuj)on the bank must make good the impairment forthwith, under pain of the severest penalties that can be visited
upon a financial institution. The privilege of issuing notes to circulate
as money is a valuable franchise, and one which in the nature of things
it would be improper to grant withoiit the condition that the notes must
be paid on demand. When the demand is made, and it comes to" the
bank, not by the presentation of the notes themselves, but in the shape
of a notification from the Treasurer that they have been presented to
him, the bank's first and most important business is to respond by remitting to the Treasurer the amount he asks for. The issue of new notes
to take the place of those paid off', and destroyed is another matter
altogether, with which the Treasurer has nothing Avhatever to do.
^^And when," in the language of the statute, '' such redemptions haA^e
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 worn, mutilated, defaced, or rendered otherwi^«>«
unfit for use, they shall be forwarded to the Comptroller of the Currency and destroyed, and replaced as now provided by law."
This plan is not less simple than fair, and has been in successful pper

ation for nearly twenty years. There are many banks throiighout the

are unknown, and many others in which parts or the whole of the foregoing recital AVLII be recognized as familiar history,—so many, in fact,
that in no instance can exception be taken to Avhat at first might appear

COMMISSION ON SAFE AND VAULT CONSTRUCTION.
The commission appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury under
the provisions of a clause in the deficiency appropration act of September 30, 1890, ^ to report on the best method of safe and vault con^
struction, with a Adew of renewing or improving the vault facilities of
the Treasury Department," have been actively engaged iii their iiwestigations, and haA^e paid several visits to the Treasurer's Office. The
high character and attainments of the gentlemen selected fbr this important task give the comforting assurance that their, labors will be
productive of the best results within the reach of modern skill and
science.
The chairman, Eobert H. Thurston, LL. D., is director of the College
of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanic Arts in Cornell UniA^ersity.
He served in the Corps of United States Naval Engineers during the
late war, and at its close became professor of natural and experimental
philosophy in the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
In 1870 he visited Europe, and made extensive investigations in the
manufactures of iron and steel in Great Britain. He resigned from the
Navy in 1871, to accept the chair of mechanical engineering, in the Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken, N. J. He served as United
States Commissioner to the World's Fair at Yienna, and as a member
of the United States Commission to examine into .the causes of boiler
explosions; also for a number of years on the United States Board appointed to make tests of iron, steel, .and various other metals, in Avhich
positions he performed valuable scientific services.
Dr. Thurston was the first pi:esident of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He is the author of many Avorks on mechanics and
subjects connected thercAvith, and is an inventor of note.
Mr. Francis A. Pratt, of Hartford, the second member of the commission, is the senior member of the Pratt & Whitney Company, and
its president; the founder of the firm and its great establishments in
which are built an enormous variety of tools of all kinds, but especially
for gunmakers, and where are built the G ardner, Hotchkiss, and other
rapid-firing guns of modern invention, and a great variety of standard
iron-workers' tools. This firm has established the standards of sizes
and forms for the United States in the Avhole range of construction of
bolts and nuts, of-taps and dies; and thc}^ secure accuracy, formerly
considered absolutely impossible of even approximation, through tbe
use of a measuring machine capable of inaking measurements to the
fifty-thousandth of an inch and less, and actually making their work
accurate, as sent to the market, to within the ten-thousandth of an inch
of standard.
30
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Mr. Pratt is the founder of this system of application of scientific
methods of exact measurement to such i^urposes in practical construction. As a mechanic he is considered to be fully the equal of any man
living, and is considered by his colleagues in his profession the ^^Arnerican WhitAvorth," having accomplished Avhat Sir Joseph WhitAvorth
aspired to, but ncA^er reached.
Mr. Theo. N. Ely, the general superintendent of motive pOAver of the
Pennsylvania EailAvay, is also a noted mechanic and an educated and
experienced engineer. J l e Avas taught the elements of his profession at
the Eensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., and graduated Anth
high honors. . He later became a member of the engineering staff' of the
Pennsylvania Eailway, and quickly rose to the most im]Dorta.nt and
responsible position in the gift of that great corporation in his department, taking charge of all the mechanical engineering of the road, and
finally, as other roads Avere bought, built, or leased, becoming the general superintendent of the mechanical engineering departments of all.
The high standing of that railway in efficiency of all its mechanical departments and all its machinery, Avhether of transportation or construction, is attributed very largely to Mr. Ely. He has introduced the best
and most thoroughly scientific methods and processes of production, of
inspection, test, and purchase of materials, and of maintenance and
repair, and has made the AA^hole motive-power de]3artment a model after
AAiiich are patterned the similar deiDartments of the majority of other
roads in this country and many abroad.
Mr. Ely has also kept up his acquaintance with both the scientific and
the i3ractitioner's side ofhis Avork, outside his own department, and is
regarded as quite as high an authority, on constructive engineering generally, as can be found.
The chairman has kindly furnished the following statement in regard
to the labors and plans of the commission :
The United States commission on safe and vault construction^ appointed in April
last to consider and report npon the desirability aild required extent of neAv vault
constructions for the Treasury and upon the best methods of vault construction as
practiced at the present time, has been at work, as its members could get together,,
throughout the intervening period. The three members of this commission are very
closely engaged, their regular .duties being both important and engrossing; but they
have found time to conduct, as suggested by this office, a very extended and thorough investigation of the best of recent methods of insuring safety in the storage of
money and securities, and are expected to report upon all the modern s^^stems of
safe and vault construction, of detection of atfcempts to tamper with such receptacles, and of alarm in case of their attach, either by burglars or by their own appointed guardians.
The commission has, up to the-present date, given its attention mainly to the
generally standard systems of construction of safes and vaults, by the aggregation
of laminated plates of iron, steel, and various special compositions; the methods of
securely p u t t i n g together such"plates to form a vault or safe; and the best systems
of bolting, of securing the corners against injury or i3enetration, the construction of
doors and accessories, and the later forms of bolting doors and of p u t t i n g in locks
and time attachments.
The commission have, in this investigation, visited the establishments of a number
of makers, on their invitation, where the processes of construction coLild be studied,
and have seen the whole work of safe-building carried on, including the i:>reliminary
fitting of plates, their erection in the vault under construction, and the final completion of the vault in place. They have been permitted to inspect the safes and
vaults most recently constructed by the banks and safe deposit companies of the
large cities, and have very fuUy examined the details of their construction. They
have studied the ncAvest forms of time-lock and especially the most recent of the
devices known as the automatic systems of opening; in which the time-lock n o t .
only removes the obstructions i)reventing the unloclling of the vault doors during
the time for which it is set, b u t also actually unlocks tlie door at a specified time,
and from t h e inside, thus doing away with the otherwise unaA^oidable external
mechanism for unlocking; and the coiisecxuently necessary passage of a spiadle or
TREASURER.
31
its mechanical eciuivalcut through the door, a generally admitted cause of weakness
and source of more or less danger.
The commission have looked into the latest systems of electric guards and alarms,
and their arrangements for protection by simple detection of all attempts of tlie
attacking party to even touch the protected receptacle, and of giving an alarm at a
distant point, or at any desired point in the neighborhood. These systems are intended to be efficients irrespective of the extent or efficiency of the jDresumabiy
burglar-proof construction of the safe or vault.
There remains, on the programme, the further study of a few special constructions,
the investigation of the later methods of application of chilled cast iron to such
work, and the examination of some new forms of lock a,nd automatic bolting. I t is
possible t h a t some experimentation may be called for. The commission are expected
to rej)ort soon after the ox)ening of t h e next session of Congress.
CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
The recent operations of the Treasury, by their magnitude, have
called for unwonted exertions on the part of the administrative and
clerical force. In particular, the labor of receiving and for Awarding currency has been made very heavy by the unusual demands for shipments or the exchange of one kind of money for another. Much extra
AYork was required to carry out the provisions of the act of December
15, 1890, which proAdded for the payment of a draA^back or rebate to
manufacturers and dealers, on certain kinds of tobacco, upon Avhichthe
tax had been paid. All business that has come to the office has been
attended to vrith promptness and, it is believed, with satisfaction to
the pubhc.
^
I desire to express my appreciation of the prompt and cheerful manner in which the subordinate officers, clerks, and other emi^loyes in this
office have performed their laborious and, in most cases, responsible
duties. Skill and integrity in handling enormous sums of money, diligence and correctness in keeping accounts, are absolute necessities in
the daily transactions of the United States Treasury. Anxieties surround the proper conduct of such an office, but Avith a well-trained and
tried force to rely upon cares and worries are greatly lessened.
Thanks are due to Mr. F. W. Lantz for his careful and conscientious
worji in comi^iling and editing this report.
T have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient serA^ant,

States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, including gold contained in silver deposits and purchases, aggregated 3,.204:,880.200 standard
ounces, of the value of $59,625,678.08, against $49,228,823.56 in the precediilg fiscal year, an increase of $10,396,854.52.
Of the gold deposited, 2,606,111.797 standard ounces, of the value of
$48,485,800.82, were original deposits, and 598,768.403 standard ounces,
of the value of $11,139,877.26, were redeposits. .
. Of the redeposits $4,601,070.52 consisted of fine bars bearing the stam]p

During the second session of the Fifty-first Congress, pursuant to
recommendations contained in my last fiscal report, the following act,
amendatory of the act of May 26,1882, relative to the exchange of gold
bars for United Stutes gold coin, became a law March 3,1891:
S E C 3. That an act to authorize the receipt of United States gold coin in exchange
for gold bars, approved May tyrenty-six, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, be
amended to read as follows:
That the superintendents of the coinage mints and of the United States assay
office at New York may, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, b u t
not otherwise, receive United States gold coin from any holder thereof in sums of
not less than five thousand doUars, and pay and deliver in exchange therefor gold bars
in value equaling such coin so received: Provided, That the Secretary of the Treasury
may impose for such exchange a charge which in his judgment shall equal the cost of
manufacturing the bars.
SEC. 4. That all acts or parts of acts inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions
of this act are hereby repealed.
120
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
In order that the change from the old laAV may be noted the act of
May 26,1882, is appended:
That the superintendents of the coinage miuts, and of the United States assay
office at New York, are hereby authorized to receive United States gold coiu from
any holder thereof in sums not less than, five thousand dollars, and to pay and
deliver in exchauge therefor gold bars in value equaling such coin so received.
The act of May 26, 1882, was construed by the Attorney-General to
be mandatory as to the exchange of gold bars for gold coin, and he
further.held that under its provisions no charge could be imposed ibr
the exchange.
The modified act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury may.
impose a charg^e for such exchange equal to the cost of manufacturing
the bars; and the exchange is to take place only with the approval of
of the Secretary of the Treasury, thus making it discretionary.
The day following the approval of the act (March 4,1891) requests
made at the United States assay office at New York for gold bars, for
export, in exchange for gold coin were telegraiDhed the Director. The
sui3erintendent was instructed to deliver gold bars in exchange for gold
coin upon the payment of a bar charge of 4 cents per hundred dollars in
value.
Notwithstanding the charge imposed, exporters of gold continued to
take large amounts of gold bars in exchange for gold coin, so that on
March 23, 1891, the superintendent was instructed to decline to give
gold bars in exchange for gold coin when required for shijpinent.
Gold bars are furnished in exchange for gold coin, upon the payment
of the bar charge, to jewelers and manufacturers for domestic use in the
industrial arts, but since March 23 of the present year have not been
furnished for export.
As I have pointed out in prior reports, the movement of gold from the
United States has been facilitated by the act of May 26,1882.
The shipment of gpld, rather than the purchase of exchange, is, as a
rule, decided on a very narrow margin of profit, and it would seem
reasonable to infer that when the margin of profit between the actual
. vshipment of specie and the purchase of exchange is small, sliipments
might be prevented if exporters were required to ship coin or to pay a
premium for bars.
The fact that exporters were willing and anxious to pay the charge of
4 cents per hundred dollars in value, and even a higher rate, for gold
bars in exchange for coin, is proof conclusive that United States bars of
full weight and of recognized purity are a more profitable form of gold
for shipment than coin.
o
I t has not been the pohcy of the Department to throw any obstacle in
the way of the free movement of specie, but there is no good reason
why the Government of the United States, reversing the policy of foreign
banking houses under governmental control, should facilitate it.
While the refusal to Sirnish bars for export has been powerless to stop
the moyement of gold this summer from this country, for the reason that
specially powerful causes were operating (which are discussed elsewhere
in this report), such refusal should have the effect to raise the '' gold
point'^ so as to render it uniDrofitable as a business transaction to ship
gold from this country to London unless.^the price of sterling exchange
approximate^s $4.89^, a rise of at least one-half a cent.

COURSE OF SILVER.
The fluctuations in the price of silver during the last fiscal year covered a wide range, extending from $0,964 per fine ounce to $1.21—a
variation of nearly 25 cents—-a fluctuation greater than in any previous year.
A t the commencement of the fiscal year, July 1, 1890, silver was
quoted in London at 47^^^ pence (the London quotation being per ounce
British standard .925), equivalent, at the par of exchange, to $1,042
per fine ounce; the New York price at the same date being $1.05.
From this date, in anticipation of legislation by Congress which would
increase the mandatory purchases of silver by this Government, the
price of sUver rose rapidly until, July 14,1890, the date of the passage
of the new silver law, the price had advanced in London to 49J pence,
and ia Ifew York to $1,Q8 per fine ounce.
128
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
As the act was not to take effect until thirty days after its passage,
the price fluctuated from 4 7 | pence to 50^ pence ($1,107 per fine ounce),
closing at the eiid of July at the latter figure.
On August 1 the London price advanced to 51^ ]3ence($ 1.12) the Kew
York price the same day being $1.14J.
On August 13, the date the new silver law took effect, the price had
advanced in Lon<don to 51J pence ($1,123) and in ]!^ew York to $1.14
per fine ounce.
The highest price reached was, in E'CAV York, August 19, $1.21 per
fine ounce (the highest point touched since 1878), and in London, September 3, 54f pence ($1.19f).
The price in I^Tew-York did not vary materially from August 19 to
Septeinber 3, when a decline commenced, extending, with some fluctuations, to the end of the calendar year, the j)i'ice on December 31, 1890,,
being in London 48 pence ($1,052) and in ISTew Yprk $1,045.
From the 1st of August to the middle of September the difference
between the price of silver in ISTew York and London was so great that
buUion dealers were enabled to import silver fr'om London at a profit.
During the month.of January, 1891, the iDrice of silver fluctuated
between 48J aiid 46J pence.
From this time forward the decline ^continued until April 24, when
the lowest point was reached—44 pence ($0,964) in London, the Few
York price the same date being $0.97J.
From this date the price gradually advanced, closing June 30, 1891,
at 4 5 | ($1,003), the I:^ew York price on the same date being $1.01J.
The average price of silver during the year was, in London, 47y^^
pence, equivalent to $1.04^ i^er fine ounce, and in Kew York $1,053; an
average difference of nearly 1 cent.
The highest, lowest, and average price of silver each month during
the fiscal year, and also during the calendar year 1890, is shown in the

At the lowest price of silver during the fiscal year the value of the
silver contained in a silver dollar was $0.75; at the highest price, $0.936;
at the average price, $0,814.
The price of silver at the date of the passage of the act of February
,28,1878, whichremonetized thesilver dollar, and required the purchase
and coinage monthly of not less than $2,000,000 nor more than $4,000,000
worth of silver, was 55 pence, equivalent to $11205 per fine ounce, at
which price the commercial value of the silver in the silver dollar was
$0,931
From that date the decline was, with some slight intermissions, uniform until May 19,1888, Avhen silver reached its lowest price, 41f xDcnce
($0,912), at which price the commercial value of the silver in the dollar
was °$0.705.
The commercial value of the pure silver contained in the silver dollar has been annually since 1873, at the average price of each year, as

SUBSIDIARY SILVER COINAGE. '
The subsidiary silver coinage, during the last fiscal year, aggregated
18,560,371 pieces, of the nominal value of $2,039,218.35, consisting of
$82,637.50 in half-dollars, $195,118:75 in quarter-dollars, and $1,761,462.10
in dimes.
Of this coinage, $1,211,400 were manufactured from trade-dollar
bullion and $403.75 fr'om purchased bullion.
'
As the act of March 3, 1891, directed that the trade-dollar bullion
should be coined into silver dollars, whereas the act of March 3, 1887,
providing for the redemption of the trade dollars, had left the recoinage
into standard dollars or subsidiary coin discretionary with the Secretary, the use of this stock of silver for the coinage.of subsidiary silver
was discontinued.
Worn and uncurrent silver coin, mostly subsidiary pieces, were
transferred from the Treasury to the mints for recoinage during the
year of the nominal value of $910,046.69.
Upon melting, these cokis produced 692,575.67 ounces of standard
silver, which would manufacture in subsidiary silver coins $861,680.41,
showing a loss of $48,366.28, or about 5 .per cent., of which sum
$19,851.55 was reimbursed the Treasury from the appropriation for
' recoinage of uncurrent gold and silver coin, contained in the sundry
civil bill, approved August 30, 1890, and the balance, $28,514.73, fr^om
the appropriation for recoinage contained in the act of March 3, 1891.
The stock of silver used for subsidiary coinage during the fiscal year
is exhibited in the following table:

In my last annual report attention was directed, to the large stock—
$19,545,362.71—of subsidiary silver coins in the Treasury of the United
States, which, through abrasion or mutilation, were unfit for circulation, or else of denominations for which there was no popular demand,
and a Tecommendation made that authority be given to recoin the same
into such denominations of subsidiary coins as there was a demand for,^
and that the loss of metal incident to such recoinage be paid from the
profits which had been made on silver coinage.
Such a provision, was inserted by the House of Eepresentatives of
the Fifty-first Congress in the sundry civil act for 1892, but the provision was stricken out in the Senate, and in heu thereof an appropriation
of $150,000 was made for ^ recoinage of the uncurrent fr^actional silver
^
coins, abraded below the limit of tolerance, in the Treasury.'^
tTnder this liberal appropriation a large amount of uncurrent silver
coins in the Treasury have been recoined into dimes and quarter-dollars, and such recoinage is still in progress.
The nominal value of the silver coins transferred from the Treasury
to the mints for recoinage from July 1, 1890 to November 1, 1891, has
been $4,277,917.74, upon which the loss of metal, representing the abrasion fr'om wear, has been $134,676.10 or an average of about 3 per cent.
The actual coinage of the same into new silver coins has aggregated
$3,226,414.60.
I t w a s estimated from previous recoinages that the loss would be
about 5 per cent, and that the appropriation of $150,000 would enable
the Department to recoin about $3,000,000. By carefiil and economical
work the loss has been reduced considerably below this figure, and it
is believed that the present appropriation will recoin nearly $5,000,000.
The beneficial results of this appropriation are shown by the fact that
th e amount of subsidiary silver coin in the Treasury at the commencement of the last fiscal year, all of which was classed in Treasury statements as an ^ asset not available," was $22,805,225, while the amount
^
in the Treasury at the present date (November 1,1891) is $15,196,379,
a reduction of $7,608,846.
In view of the importance of relieving the Treasury of this incubus of
uncurrent coin, as well as to provide change money in. an attractive and
desirable form, I renew the recommendation made in my previous report that either a permanent annual appropriation for recoinages be
made, or that authority be given to reimburse the Treasurer for the loss
of metal incident to the recoinage of silver coins, fr'om the large profits
Avhich have been made by the Government in the first instance in the
manufacture and issue of vsuch coins. I t seems to me that instead of
depending upon the caprice of-Congress for small annual appropriations
for recoinage, that a permanent appropriation would be eminently
proper and desirable. If, however, this does not meet with favor at the
hands of Congress, I most urgently recommend an immediate appropriation of $100,000 for continuing the recoinage of uncurrent silver coins
in the Treasury.
TRADE-DOLLAR R E C O I N A a E .
The total number of trade dollars redeemed under the provisions of
the actof March 3,1887, was 7,689,036, containing 6,687,690.61 standard

Of this amount there were stored, at the Philadelpliia mint, 1,326,751.51
standard ounces, costing $1,524,828.61, and, at the ISTew Orleans, mint
3,038,879.61 standard ounces, costing $3,495,533.
The act of March 3, 1891, directed the ^ Secretary of the Treasury
^
shall, as soon as practicable, coin into standard silver dollars the tradedollar bullion and trade dollars now in the Treasury^ the exxDcnse
thereof to be charged to the silver profit fund.'^
As soon as the mandatory coinage of silver dollars recj[uired by the
act of July 14, 1890, ceased by limitation of law, the conversion of tlie
trade-dollar bullion into stanciard silver dollars Avas commenced at the
' mints at Philadelijhia and ISTew Orleans.
. The total number of silver dollars coined fr'om trade-dollar bullion to
]S[^ovember 1, 1891, has been $3,260,100,'upon which seignorage has been
$40,834.19. The coinage of trade-dollar bullion into standard silver dollars will be completed during the present calendar year.

. On the 28t]i of, September, 1891, I had the honor to submit for your
consideration estimates of appropriations required for the support of the
mint service for the fiscal year ended June'30, 1893.,
These estimates, including the usual appropriation for ^ freight on
^
bullion and coin," aggregated $1,126,711.50, against appropriations for
the same purposes for the current fiscal year aggregating $1,126,761.50,
a slight reduction.

COINAGE
The amount collected from depositors during the fiscal year 1891 at
the coinage mints and assay office at ISTew York, as charges for parting
and refining bullion, was $199,946.79.
The law requires that the charges collected of depositors shall be
used to defray the expenses of the operations of the refinery.
The total amount expended was $215,767.63.
There was realized, however, during the year, from the sale of by-products from the refinery (blue vitriol and spent acid) the sum of $19,480.42,

a legitimate gain to the refinery, which gains prior to the fiscal j e ^ r
1885 were used in offsetting payments for acids.
Since that date, under a decision of the First Comptroller, the x>roceeds of the sale of blue vitriol and spent acids, the by-products of the
acid refinery, have not been available for reducing the expenses of the
refinery, but are covered into the Treasury as a miscellaneous receipt.
Deducting from the gross expenditures the amount realized from the
sale of these by-products, the net expenditures for parting and refining
buUion were $196,287.14, or $3,659.65 less than the charges collected.
In my fiscal report attention was directed to the advisability of
changing existing law, as construed by the accounting officers of the
Department, so as to i3ermit the use of moneys arising from the sale of
refinery by-products in reducing the expenses of the refineries.
The purpose of the law was to make the refineries self-supporting,
and this purpose is partly defeated by diverting legitimate gains, which
in any metallurgical establishment would be used to offset losses and
expenses. ^
Under a separate heading in this report I invite attention to the
propriety and advisability of changing the law in this respect.
The total receipts for parting and refining bullion since July 1, 1876,
the date at which the refineries were made self-supporting, have exceeded the gross expenditures for the same period by the sum of
$114,727.02, the latter amount standing to the credit of the appropriation for parting and refining bullion on July 1, 1891.
The receipts and expenses of the refineries for the fiscal year 1891
are exhibited in the following table:

EARNINGS AND E X P E N S E S OF T H E MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICES.
The total earnings of the mints and assay offices during the last fiscal
year aggregated $7,650,529.62, of which $6,221,333.42 arose from seigniorage on the coinage of silver dollars, $92,434.48 from seigniorage on
subsidiary silver coins, and $1,050,144.31 from seigniorage on minor
coinage.
;
The remainder of the earnings were derived from charges collected
from deposits, profits on the sale of medals and proof coins, from surplus bulUon-returned by the operative officers and recovered from the
deposit melting room, and from the sale of old material and by-products.

MOVEMENT OF GOLD FROM THE UNITED STATES.
In the report of this Bureau for the fiscal year 1889, attention was
directed to the heavy export of gold from the IJnited States, commencing in May, 1888, and continuing, with some interruption, to the end of
Julj^, 1889, aggregating $61,435,989.
In considering this movement it was mentioned^ that in addition to
the bars consigned directly to France, the bulk of the other gold shipments were intended for the Bank of France, and the causes which
seemed to operate in producing this drain of gold were enumerated,
among others the large expenditures by Americans at the Paris Exposition.
In the summer of 1890 a movement of gold from this country occurred,
which, while by no means as serious in amount as its predecessor, was
somcAvhat remarkable as a monetary transaction, considering the low
rate of sight sterling exchange which obtained during the period.
This movement aggregated in a period of less than two months the
sum of $15,672,982.
In February of the present year another movement of gold to Europe
commenced which did not cease until near the close of July, exceeding
in amount the exports of the fiscal year 1889, and causing l3y far the
most serious loss of gold which this country has sustained for many years.
The total amount exported from the port of E'ew York was
$70,223,494.31.
The follomng table, which has been prepared with great care and
research by the superintendent of the assay office at IS^ew York, exhibits the dates and value of the"shipments, the names of the shippers,
and the destination of the specie, and prevailing rates of sterUng exchange:

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
An examination of the above table discloses the very singular fact
that of this large amount all but $9,300,000 was shipped when the rate
of sterling exchange was below the point (about $4,886) at which gold
shipments can be made without loss. The movement, therefore, must
have been artificially stimulated by banks and bankers in Europe paying a premium on gold or making discounts to bill-drawers for cash
remittances.
This was the result of a condition of affairs very unusual in the mercantile world.
Ordinarily, large banking houses in New York, at certain seasons, can
draw OU' correspondents in the financial centers of Europe sight and
time exchange to a large amount in advance of expected commercial
bills drawn against shipments of produce, etc.
The heavy losses incurred by European, capitalists in South American
countries, and the resulting financial disturbances and uneasiness produced thereby, not only greatly restricted this credit, but led to a
continuous pressure, more or less strong, for gold to strengthen the
reserves of the banks in England, France, and Germany,
For reasons connected with loan difficulties, Russia at the same time
withdrew from the depositories of Western Europe large quantities of
gold, thus adding greatly to the drain and increasing the pressure for
the import of gold from the United States, this country being the only
outside source from which gold in large amounts could be readily
drawn.
The usual encouragement to the import of gold by the banks of
Paris and Berlin in giving credit to importers for money on the day of
shipment from New York, was, of course, in operation.
It is a well-known fact that the Bank of England paid a premium for
American gold coin, and increased that premium from time to time as
the financial crisis grew more threatening.
The rate of interest for money being above the normal price in Europe,
investments in American securities were discouraged. Indeed, large
amounts of the latter were returned in exchange for gold, some holders
being doubtless influenced by the fear of the advent of a silver standard here.
The amount of silver exiDorted was also greatly reduced by the increased monthly purchases by this Government, and gold took its place.
The relative amounts of exports and imports of produce and merchandise generally were such as to make our indebtedness larger than
usual.
The gold carried out of the country to meet the expenses, by sea and
land, of Americans spending their summers abroad, must have nearly
if not quite equaled the year of the Paris Exposition, when such expenditures were estimated at over $92,000,000.
The balance of trade, for these reasons, being against us, and the
pressing need for gold in London, Paris, and Berlin, account very largely
for the very heavy exports of gold during these five months.
Desultory quantities of gold were returned to this country from
Europe in the month of July of the present year, but by September the
return movement was well under way and has continued to the present
time. The following table exhibits the importations of gold (over half
our own coin returned), from July 1 to November 1, 1891;

With the return of confidence in Europe, investors and others there
have bought heavily in American securities, and these investments,
together with the large exports of breadstuffs and other materials from
the United States this fall and winter, must necessitate additional
shipments of gold to this country, and it is believed that the movement
of specie to our shores now in progress will continue, with some interruptions, for some months yet and in increasing amounts.

As usual, the bulk of these ores, $8,679,845 came from Mexico, $254,270 from the British Possessions in North America, and the remainder
in small lots from other countries of this continent.
The silver ores imported into the United States were what is known
as silver-lead ores, containing in addition to the silver contents large
quantities of metallic lead and some gold and copper.
The foUowing valuable table, compiled by the Chief of the Bureau of
Statistics from special statements ftirnished by collectors of customs,

NOTE.—The data in this table have been obtained from special reports by the collectors of customs,
aud although necessarily incomplete in some details are believed to be valuable. This table will not
in the total value of ore compare with the stated, publications which latter represent only the value
of free silver ore and exclude dutiable contents, such as copper, and, since October 5, 1890, lead. The
value of the lead is estimated at 3^ cents per pound, the average value of bar lead at New York less 1

From the above table it will be seen that the approximate value of
the silver contained in these ores was $8,252,036 and of the gold
$68,742, while they contained in addition 40,289,803 pounds of metallic
lead, of the invoiced value of $1,410,143 (against $905,470 in the previous fiscal year), and 468,384 pounds of copper, of the value of $25,129.
Foreign silver coins were imported of the value of $11,379,663, of
which $8,187,918 were Mexican dollars and the remainder principally
South American coins.
Our own silver coins, principally subsidiary pieces, were returned
during the year of the value of $325,240.

In addition to exports of domestic silver bullion, copper matte was
exported frpm the port of Baltimore to England, for reduction, containing silver of the commercial value of $838,388.
The following letter from the collector of the port of Baltimore in regard to the character of this matte and where it was produced will be

CUSTOM-HOUSE, BALTIMORE, M D . ,
Collector's Office, Septemher 8, 1891,
S I R : In reply to your letter of the 4tli instant requesting me to furnish you a statement of the amount of gold and silver contained in silver ores, copi)er matte, and argentiferous matte exported from the port of Baltimore, during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1891, I inclose a transcript, showing the amount in copper, silver, and gold.
I would say t h a t the " Baltimore Copper Smelting and Rolling Company,^' the principal exporters of copper ores, now make no distinction hetween copper matte and
silver-copper matte, it heing all exported from this custom-house as silver-copper
matte, at the uniform basis of 60.5 per cent pure copper, 35 ounces pure silver, and
0.14 of pure gold.
The locality from which the ore is received is the Anaconda mine. State of Montana.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
From the above table it will be seen that there was a net gain of
silver to the United States during the year,.by excess of imi')orts over
exports, of the value of $2,745,365.
In the A]3pendix will be found the usual tables exhibiting the movements of the precious metals to and from the United States each month
during the year, and also tables showing the countries from which the
precious metals were shipped to the United States and the countries to
Avhich the precious metals exported from the United States were consigned.
STOCK OF MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES.
I t has been the practice to present in the rei^orts of this Bureau an
estimate, based upon official tabulations, of the stock of gold and silver
coin in the country.
The foundation of these estimates was the actual amount of gold in
the Treasury and in IsTational banks on June 30, 1872, with an addition *
of $20,000,000 as the minimum amount of gold coin in circulation in
the States of the Pacific slope. l!*ro allowance was made for the amount
in circulation in the States east of the Eocky Mountains.
Since that date the official estimates, presented from year to year,
have been prepared, by adding to the actual stock June 30, 1872, the
annual coinage of the mints (less, the amount of our own coin inelte<i
for recoinage), and the gain (or loss) by import and export of our own
coin, with an annual allowance for melting of United States coin for
use in the arts and industries. •
In continuation of previous tabulations, the following estimate of the
stock of United States coin in the country on July 1, 1891, is presented:

of silver of $59,065,821, as compared with the stocks of these metals
respectively at the commencement of the year.
This loss of gold was due to the heavy export of United States gold
coin during the spring and summer of 1891.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
For the purpose of ascertaining the value of gold and silver bars furnished by private works for industrial purposes, a circular letter, inclosing a form of report, was ad^dressed to thirty-nine firms in the United
States, believed to comprise all the private works engaged in the business of making gold and silver bars.
Eeplies have been received from thirty-eight of the thirty-nine firms
addressed, of which number sixteen reported that they had not manufactured any bars for industrial use during the year, while twenty-two
furnished a' statement in detail showing the value and composition of
the bars so famished.
The returns on the part of private Avorks are more complete than
for any previous inquiry, showing that much popular interest is taken
in this important subject. The thanks of the Bureau are due, and
are hereby extended, to the officers in charge of private AVorks in the
United States Avho have so courteously furnished the information asked
for.
The result of this inquiry upon the part of private Avorks is exhibited
in the folloAA^iug table:

Of the bars furnished by private works to goldsmiths and others for
industrial uses $2,083,177 in gold, and $480,297 in silver, Avere what
are known as ^^United States bars," that is, bars bearing the stamp of
a mint or GoA^ernment assay office. As these are included in the bars
reported by Government institutions as issued for the same purpose, to
prevent duplication the value of these bars must be deducted from the
totals reported by private works.
Eliminating, therefore, the value of ^^United States bars" furnished
by private Avorks, the foUoAving table exhibits the work of private refineries in this line during the calendar j^ear 1890:

Comparing the totals for the tA^o years, it will be seen that the quantity of both gold and silver employed for industrial purposes is steadily
increasing in the United States.
The value of the gold bars reported as furnished for industrial use
during the calendar year 1889 was $13,623,935, and in 1890, $14,605,901,
an increase of $981,966, and silver, $9,031,178 in 1890 against $8,569,318
in the preceding year.
The amount of gold coin reported as used in the composition of bars
for industrial uses was only $449,941, against an estimated melting
doAvn annually of $3,500,000 of our gold coin for industrial uses, based
upon four censuses taken for different years by this Bureau as to the
direct employment of the preo^ous metals by goldsmiths and others in
the manufacture of watches, jewelry, and gilding. The amount of
United States silver coin reported as melted in the composition of bars
for industrial use during the last year was only $2,024, against a reported
melting down of silver coin by jewelers and others, based upon the censuses referred to, of $200,000 annually.
As is well, knoAvn, the melting of coin for industrial uses is principaUy
upon the part of jewelers, and not by private works manufacturing bars.
If, therefore, there has been no falling off in the amount of coin used in
repairs and jeAA^elry, the value of the precious metals used in the industrial arts in the United States during the calendar year 1890 approximated $18,105,901 gold, aaid $9,231,178 silver (coining value), of which
$10,717,472 gold and $7,143,635 silver was new bullion.

REPOET ON THE FINANCES.
I t has been the practice of the Bureau to solicit information from
private refineries as to the preparation of bars of gold and silver only ^
for calendar years. The information covering the last fiscal year is
therefore confined to GoA^ernment institutions.
The folioAving tables exhibit the qiiantity and value of the bars of
gold and silver issued by Government institutions for industrial uses
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891.

Comparing the totals of the above tables with the work of the preceding fiscal year, it appears that the gold bars paid out at these tAvo institutions for use in the industrial arts duringthe fiscal year 1891 aggregated $12,267,678.57 against $11,639,980 in the preceding fiscal year, an
increase of $627,698 in gold. For silver, the amount for the fiscal year
1891 was $5,244,516.60 against $5,312,349 in the preceding fiscal year,
afalUngoffof $67^833.

In the Appendix AYUI be found a table shoAnng the annual product of
gold and sih^er from the mines of the United States since 1792.
A table Adll also be found, comj)iled principally from information
furnished at the instance of this Bureau by foreign gOA^ernments through
our diplomatic representatiA^es abroad, and revised from the latest returns at hand, exhibiting the quantity and value of the gold and silver
product of the princij^'al producing countries of the world for the calendar years 1888, 1889, and 1890.
i n the x3reparation of this table, in cases where official estimates or
reports Avere not at hand, either the product officially reported for the
preceding or some near year has been used by Avay of estimate,^ or the
product as ascertain ed from other reliable sources; but in cases where
the product credited a producing country is not an of&cial estimate'this
fact, as Avell as the data upon AA^hich the estimate is based, has been
stated in a footnote.
The value of sih^er in this table, as-in similar tables for preceding
years, pubUshed in the reports of this Bureau, has, for the purpose of
uniformity, been reckoned at the coining rate in silver dollars, viz.
$1.2929 j)er fine ounce.

In estimating the value of foreign coins the same practice lias been
followed as lieretofore. The value of the monetary unit of countries
having a gold or double standard Avas ascertained by comparing the
amount of pure gold in such unit with the pure gold in the United
States dollar, and the silver coins of such countries were given the same
valuation as the corresponding gold coins with which they are interchangeable by law.

In countries having a silver standard, the values of the silver coins
were fixed at the commercial value of the pure silver contained in such
coins.

SPECIAL TESTS OF COINS.
The regulations governing the mint service i^rovide for special assays
of current coinage of the mints, as follows:
S E C 9. From the first and two subsequent deliveries in each week of gold and
silver coins of each denomination of coin delivered by the coiner, specimen pieces,
tAvo in number, shall be taken, certified, and inclosed by tbe superintendent and
assayer in tbe same manner as above prescribed for trial by the annual assay commission, Avheu they shall be promptly forAvarded to tbe Director of tbe Mint by registered mail for assay by the assayer of tbe Bureau, of tbe Mint.
S E C 10. The value of tbe special assay coins shall be returned at tbe end of each
six montbs (June 30 and December 31) to tbe proper mints.
In order tb enable the Director to know from day.to day that the
coins being issued at the mints conform in all res^oects to the requirements of law, a laboratory was established in 1878 on the fourth floor
of the Treasury Department, which has proved a valuable adjunct to
the Bureau.
Special examinations are also made in the laboratory, for the Treasury
Department, of coins and other inaterial for the purpose of detecting
and x>reventing counterfeiting, and for custom requirements.
During the calendar year 1890 there were tested in the laboratory of
this Bureau 196 gold coins and 1,010 silver coins, all of which were
found to be within the legal requirements in regard to weight, fineness,
and mechanical perfection.
Tables will be found in the a.ppendix showing the fineness of the
coins assayed and the percentage of coins of various degrees of fineness.
ANNUAL TRIAL OF- COINS.
Tlie following commissioners were appointed under the provisions of
section 3547 of the Eevised Statutes, to test the weight and fineness of
the gold and silver coins of the coinage of the calendar year 1890, reserved
tor that purpose by the coinage mints, viz: Hon. Nelson W. Aldrich,
United States Senate; Hon. Thomas H. Carter, House of Representatives;
Messrs. B. A. Gould, Massachusetts; Cabell Whitehead, Virginia; JSTelson F. Evans, Pennsylvania; Frank A. Leach, California; G-. E. Metten,

Willcox, Illinois; Irwin Shepard, Minnesota; H. W. Cannon, ISTew
York; J. M. Bailey, jr.. South Dakota; W. D. Ewing, Indiana; Charles
W. Pavey, Illinois; Daniel M. Houser, Missouri.
The Commission met in Philadelphia on February 11, 1891, with the
exception of Hon. IsT. W. Aldrich and W. D. Ewing, all of the commissioners appointed being present, together with the following ex officio
commissioners: Hon. William Butler, United States judge for the
eastern district of Pennsylvania, Hon. E. S. Lacey, Comptroller of the
Currency, and Herbert G. Torrey, assayer of the Unitecl States assay
office at Kew York.

CHANGES IN REGULATIONS.
On the 28th of September, 1891, an order was issued, approved by
the Secretary of the Treasury, increasing the charge for small gold bars
at the United States assay office at I^ew York from 4 to 5 cents per
hundred doUars in value.
Heretofore it has been the practice to charge 4 cents per hundred
dollars in value for the manufacture of fine gold bars, and to give depositors, in payment of their deposits, gold bars as nearly approximating the value of their deposits as possible, the smallest being about
$5,000 in value.
In many cases these bars were redeposited for small bars for jewelry
and manufacturing purposes, and it has- been customary to charge for
this exchange, that is, for furnishing small gold bars in the place of
large ones, the same amount as the original bar charge, 1 cents per hundred dollars in value.
Under the new regulations small gold bars will be furnished depositors originally when they desire it, and the charge will be 1 cent more
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
175
per hundred doUars in value than for large bars, to cover the additional
cost of manufacturing small bars.
On the 29th of September, 1891, the following regulation was issued:
In cases of deposits of foreign gold coin or foreign gold bars at t h e United States
assay office at New York, sucb approximation of tbe value of tbe bullion delivered
as, in tbe discretion of tbe Superintendent, raay be regarded safe and proper, not to
exceed 90 per cent of tbe value, will be paid, jiending melt and assay.
The purpose of this regulation was to encourage the importation of
foreign gold by allowing depositors approximate spot cash value for
foreign gold as soon as received at the counter of the assay office, thus
saving interest on the .value of the deposit pending melt and assay.

CHARLES F O S T E R ,
Secretary of the Treasury.
V I^Tew designs for the subsidary coins—the half dollar, quarter dollar
,
and dime—have been prepared, under mydirection, by Mr. ChaiJes E.
Barber, the engraver of the mint at Philadelphia, and with your approval have been adopted.
The consideration of the subject of changing the designs upon our
coins naturally calls forth some thought upon the subject of coinage
generally, a subject full of interest.
Coinage may be defined as consisting in the division of a monetary
metal into^'pieces of uniform dimensions and weight, and in the stamping of them by public authority, in order to certify the quantity of fine
metal contained in each; while a coin is one of the pieces so stamped.
Coinage is of very great antiquity. Its invention is generally ascribed to Pheidon of Argos, who reigned in the eighth century before
Christ.
When we consider the great antiquity of some of the coins now in a
perfect state of preservation, dating back many hundred years before
the birth of Christ, they open a vast field of thought.
These metallic monuments, having the portraits and names of the
great heroes of the age in which they were struck, bear unequivocal
witness to the truth of the historical records which have come down to
us, and from which we learn of the wars, religions, and superstitions
of past ages. ~
^
The earliest specimens of coins of which we have knowledge bore the
impression of a die only on the face, the reverse showing the marks of
the rude punch used to force the piece of metal into the die. Following
this, the first improvement seems to have been an attempt to make the
punch conform somewhat to the shape of the die.
This improvement was carried on untU we find the punch almost
identical with the design of the die, the result being coins with an impression in relief on one side and an intaglio on the other, or, as these
j)ieces are called, incused coins.
This wa§ a great step in coinage and contributed largely to the production of the high relief which we find in antique coins. After these
come the coins with separate designs for both the obverse (or face) and
FI 91

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
reverse (or back), both vsides telling their story; in many cases beautifully executed, considered as works of art.
The idea of relief and abrasion was never considered in connection
with antique coinage. The artist indulged his fancy and taste to the
fullest extent, and the coins were struck as medals are now, without regard to the amount of pressure required or the number of blows from
the hammer or press necessary to perfect the impression in high relief.
The coins of antiquity were for the most part like those of modern
times, round, the form best suited to them. Quadrangular, hexagonal,
and octagonal, spherical, and spheroid pieces were seldom emiDloyed
even then.
The names of the oldest coins known, and of many modern ones,
point to the connection existing between coins and their weight. Thus
the,ancient as well as the inodern Greek drachma, the pound sterling
in England, the plund in Germany, the livre in France, the lira in
Italy.
'During historical times and in civilized countries, since the first invention of coinage, gold and silver have been employed AvhencA^er governments were rich enough to obtain them, almost exclusively, in the
manufacture of all save token coins. Eussia at onetime coined platina,
but as that substance Avas not well adapted for coinage X-)iirposes the
stamping of it was stopjped and the pieces issued retired by the Government of the Czar.
The beauty of their appearance, hardness, malleability, susceptibility
to the receiving of an impression, fusibility, homogeneity, divisibility,
rarity, and the relative stability of their value, during limited periods
of time, are the qualities that have insured the choice of gold and silver
as the monetary metals of the world during so many centuries, and in
all countries in which they have been obtainable, either by mining or
in exchange for other objects of value.
With the groAvth of technical knowledge, and in order to ""meet the
increased demands of trade, a proportion of base metal was early added
to the gold or silver, and coins now are universally manufactured with
an alloy of copper.
The object of mixing gold and silver with a proportion of some other
metal, generally copper, in coinage, is to give the pieces greater resistance to wear and tear. This proportion is called the alloy. The proportion of pure metal in the coin is called its fineness. The proportion
of alloy should not be allowed to exceed certain limits.
Michel Chevalier lajd it down as a rule that that j^roportion of alloy
was best which gave the precious metals the greatest resistance to
friction. Experience has shown that Chevalier's rule should be modified thus: The best allo^^ in coinage is that Avhich, in the higher finenesses, offers the greatest resistance to ahrasioojb. It has been clearly
deirionstrated that the proportion of nine parts of gold or silver to one
part of copper best accomplishes this result.
The multiples or subinultiples of the monetary unit should be such
:as'to render it easy for the public to inake up any sum out of the pieces
iissued by the. Government. They should be of such weight and size as
tto make their use convenient, and to reduce to a minimum the action
of abrasion and the possibility of'ailteration.
The mechanical x)art of the manufacture of coins at the present day
is all that can ;be desired. The same, however, can :not ^be said of the
artistic part of the coinage.
To help make the coins of the TJnited States worthy, from the point
,Qf view of the beautifiil, of our,country,.at.the beginning of thcstecond
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
179
century of its existence, is the object of my recommendations as to new
and improved designs.
In modern coinage the designs inmonarchial governments consist, as
a rule, of the portrait of the soA^ereign for its obverse and the coat of
arms^or seal for the reverse, thus simplifying the question of design.
Eepublican nations have generally ignored the idea of having the portrait of their Chief Magistrate upon their coins, but have generally
used some ideal head or representative; hence our coinage laws prescribe, '' Upon one side there shall be an impression emblematic of liberty, Avith an inscription of the word ' Liberty' * * * and upon
the reverse shall be the figure or representation of an eagie.'^
The design first adopted Avas a female head representing Uberty for
the obverse and an eagle for the reverse.
Without revicAving all the changes which have taken place in the de-signs upon our coins it may be interesting, now that a change in the
designs upon our subsidiary silver coins (tne half dollar, quarter dollar
and dime) lias been decided upon, to enumerate the changes Avhich
have been made in these particular pieces.
The present obverse of the subsidiary coins first appeared on the
dollar of 1836, dime and half dime of 1837, half dollar and quarter dollar of 1838, and all the silver coins of 1840. I t was designed by Sulley
and engraved by Mr. Christian Gobrecht. The present reverse, Avith
the exception of some minor differences, first appeared on the half dollar
of 1807, dime of 1809, quarter doUar of 1815, and half dime of 1829. The
dies were prepared by Mr. John Eeich, who Avas appointed assistant
engraver in 1807 by the Director of the Mint, Eobert Patterson.

The new designs Avhich have been adopted for the subsidiary coins
may be briefly describ^ed as follows: On the obverse is a female he,ad,
representative of liberty, looking right, expression calm and dignified,
with olive A^^reath around the liead and°Phrygian cap on back. On a
band over front of head the Avord ^ Liberty," and OA^er the head the
^
motto *^^In God we trust"; around the medallion are thirteen stars,
and under, the date bf coinage. On the reverse appears the seal of the
United States as adopted 1782, and is thus described: An eagle displayed, charged on the breast A\dth a shield argent, six paUets gules, a
chief azure, holding in the dexter claw an OUA^C branch of thirteen leaves;
in the sinister claAV a sheaf of thirteen arroAA^s; in the beak a scroll with
the motto " E Pluribus Unum," ensign ed above and about the head
Avith thirteen stars. This Avill be the design of the half doUar and
quarter dollar, while the dime Avill have for obverse same head as half
dollar and quarter dollar, but in place of the stars the inscription
^^United States of America," while the motto ^^In God A ^ trust" A^dll
AC
be omitted. The reverse of the dime Avill be the same as in present use.
From the description given of the coins of the early issue of this GOA^ •
eminent it Avill be seen that the first-described reverse which it is i3roposed to supersede the old Avith is a return to the design of almost the
first coinage. It has often been said that the design of our early coinage Avas superior to some more modern. This Avould seem a case in
point, as Avhat can be more appropriate for the design of a coin than
the great seal, carrying Avith it, as it undoubtedly does, the mark of its
genuineness a.nd Avorth.
As the A^olume of coinage in modern time is so vast, great numbers
of dies are required, and as the Avork of engraving a die is of necessity
182
REPOiRT ON THE FINANCE^.
a sloAv and tedious process and would be sure to have some A^ariations if
each separate die Avas engraved, hubs are made from which the working dies are'transferred, thus making it possible to produce a large number of dies in a comparatively short time, and also insure perfect similarity. The question. What is a hub " is sure to arise in the minds of
^
many. A hub is a piece of tenijpered steel, on which is the perfect design in relief of the coin it represents. This hub being hard can be
forced by great pressure into a finely annealed piece of steel; thus producing a die for coinage. The work of producing a new coin or series
of coins is a very delicate operation. First a design is suggested, then
models are made, molds are then prepared and electrotypes are made.
The question of curve to be given the face of the die is very important,
as this varies with each coin and requires careful adjustment to area and
design. Although modern coins look flat, the fact is quite the contrary,
as none are so, they being struck frpm dies the surface of which is always curved. From the electrotypes reductions are made by a beautiful machine most delicate in its actions. These reduced copies of the
model are in steel and require the skill of the engraver td giA^e them the
delicate finish that coins are expected to have. The engraving department ofthe United States Mint is at present employing all its energy to
have the dies with the new designs ready by January 1,1892.
THE NEAV MINT AT P H I L A D E L P H I A .
In my last fiscal report, as Avell as in the last report of the Secretary
ofthe Treasury, attention was directed.to the crowded condition of the
building noAv occupied by the Mint of the United States at Philadelphia,
and the inadequacy of the present ground area for the erection of a
suitable building, and the sale of the present site and the purchase of a
new site and the erection of a suitable building for the mint at Philadelphia, was strongly recommended.
'
^ .
^
' On January 6, 1890, a bill (H. E. 3910) Avas introduced in the House
of Eepresentatives by Hon. IT. H. Bingham, of Philadelphia, providing
for the purchase of a new site and the erection of anew buildingfor the
mint at Philadelphia-.
On May 2, 1890, the folloAnng biU (H. E. 9957), introduced by the
same member for the same purpose, was substituted for the bill originally introduced by him:
A BILL to proA^ide for the purchase of a site and tlie erection of a pnhlic bnildmg thereon at Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania.
Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Eepresentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to acquire, by purcbase, condemnation, or otherwise, a site and
cause to be erected tbereon a suitable building, including fire-proof vaults, heating
and ventilating af)paratus, elevators, and ax)proaclies, forthe use and accommodation
of tbe United States Mint, in the city of Pbiiadelpbia, and State of Pennsylvania, the
cost of said site and building, including said A'aults, heatiug and ventilating apparatus, elevators, and approa-ches, complete, not to exceed the sum of tAVO million
dollars.
So mucb of the appropriation as may be necessary to defray traA^ellng expenses and
other expenses incident to the selection of tbe site, and for necessary survey thereof,
sball be immediately available.
So mucb of said appropriation as may be necessary for tbe preparation of sketch
plans, draAvings, specifications, and detailed estimates for tbe building by the SuX^ervising Arcliitect of tbe Treasury Department shall be available immediately upon
tbe selection of tbe site by tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury.
No money appropriated shall be available, except as hereinbefore iDrovided, until a
v a h d title to the site for said building sball be vested in tbe United States, nor until

l83
the State of Pennsylvania shall baA^e ceded tp tbe United States exclusiA^e jurisdic. tion over tbe same during tbe time the United States sball be or remain the OAvner
thereof, for all purposes except tbe administration of the criminal laws of said State
and the service of ciA^il process therein.
After t h e said site sball baA^e been jiaid for and tbe sketcb-plans and detailed draAvings for tbe buildings sball haA^e been prepared by the Supervising Architect, and.
apfjroved by the Secretary of tbe Treasury and Dhector of the Mint, tbe balance o'f
apxiroipriation sball be available for the erection arid conix3letion df the building, iiicluding^ fire-proof vaults, beating and ventilating apparatus,* elcA^ators, aiid approaches, and sucb balance of the approx^riation as may remain aA'^ailable after the,
building sball have been comx^leted shall be ax^plied to and used in tbe purchase of
apx^aratus for tbe purposes of tbe mint.
Tbe building shall be unexposed to danger from fire by an open sx^ace of at least
forty feet on eacb side, including streets and alleys.
That tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and be is hereby, further directed, when
tbe ncAv building herein authorized to be erected sball bave been completed, to dispose of tbe present United States Mint building in the city of Pbiladelpbia and State
of Pennsylvania, at private or x)ublic sale, and to give a quit-claim deed to tbe x^urchaser thereof, and to deposit tbe proceeds of tbe sale to the credit of the Treasurer
of tbe United States in tbe manner x^rescribed by sections thirty-six hundred and
seventeen and tbirty-six bundred and eigbteen. United States Revised Statutes.
The original bill (H. E. 391^) having been referred by the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds to the Treasury Departiaent for report, the following communications from the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Director of the Mint, and the Supervising Architect of the Treasury
Avere transmitted to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
on February 18, 1890:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, O F F I C E OF THE SECRETARY,
•
Washington, D. C , February 18, 1890.
S I R : I h a v e the bonor to acknowledge tbe receipt bf a letter from the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, asking for the views of the Dex^artment ux^on bill
H. R. 3910, a cox3y of wbicb is inclosed, x^roviding for tbe X3urcbase of a site and the
erection of a new building for tbe mint at Pbiladelx^bia.
In reply, I desire to call attention to the statements made in the accomx>Cinying
X3ax3ers from tbe Director of tbe Mint, t h e Supeiwising Architect, and tbe X3rincix)al
mint officers at Pbiladelpbia, sbowing tbe total inadequacy of tbe x^'esent quarters
and setting forth sx^ecifically tbe reasons, wbicb are ax^parent to tbose most familiar
w i t b tbe subject, for an enlargement of the present facilities for coining x^urposes.
Every consideration bearing upon an effective and correct working o f t h e mint ser s^ice points to the necessity of providing at once a sufficient and suitable building.
Wbil'^ our legislators of over half a century ago no doubt attempted to make x^roA^ision for the then immediate future, tbey never for a moment intended to erect a building wbicb would accommodate itself to tbe needs and x)urposes of the present time,
wben the number of coins struck at this particular mint is eight times as great as it
w^as then. Every department of tbe building is crowded to its utmost capacity AAith
machinery and employes. I t is impossible to put in force systematic methods, and
much confusion and delay are oijcasioned by tbe w a n t of space in wbicb to arrange, in
:an orderly and natural relation, tbe several x^rocesses o f t h e different operations
througb Avbicb tbe metal has to go in order to x^roduce tbe perfect coin. The very
limited area t h a t can be assigned to tbe furnaces and otber branches requiring tbe
emx3loyment of artificial beat makes tbe temperature at.all times almost unbearable,
.and tbe upper floor, tbe ceiling of wbicb is in close proximity to the roof, is filled
wdtb lady operatives, wbo in tbe summer find in tbe stifled condition of the atmosphere abundant cause for absence and ill health.
Ux^on a recent personal inspection of the premises I was fully couAdnced of the
iserious difficulties under wbicb all tbe employes labored, and I am sure t b a t anyone
wbo visits tbe mint can not fail to be impressed in tbe same way. In this connecvtion I beg to refer to the recommendation of the assay commission in resolutions berewitb. transmitted. The members of this commission were gentlemen of bigb x^rofesisional attainments and jprominent in matters kindred to coinage. They bave made
manifest tbe results of tbeir personal observations and liaA^e unanimously exx3ressed
l^be ox)inion t b a t tbe only remedy for tbe present disabilities lies in the erection of a
:more sx^acious building. An ax^propriation from last year is available for tbe enlargement of tbe present building, but it would- be very doubtful economy, if not
:a,ltogetber w a s t e / t o expend any large amount in attempting to make the x^resent
structure meet the requirements of tbe service. Tbe Avails are of marble, very beaA^y,
:and cover nearly all of the ground at t b a t x^oint wbicb belongs to the Government.
184
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The heavy machinery and large amount of metal to be handled, as well as tJje delicate operations connected with the finer.Avork of coinage, makes it imx^racticable to
use a building many stories in height, and it is very doubtful if any good results
would folloAV tbe placing of additional stories on the present building. Good x)ublic policy at once suggests facilities to be bad only in a building of ample prox:>ortions, and I most eai'nestly recommend the subject to tbe favorable consideration of
Congress. I think it would be better, however, to amend tbe proposed bill in such a
way as t o make a specific appropriation of $2,000,000 to purchase a site and erect
the building, and "after it is finished to provide for tbe sale of the present site and
bailding, the proceeds of sucb sale to be covered into tbe Treasuiy under tbe bead
of '^ Miscellaneous receipts."
Respectfully, yours,

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF THE MINT,
Washington, D. C , February 7, 1890.
SIR : Referring to House bill 3910, authorizing" the sale of tbe present site of t h e
mint at Pbiladelpbia and tbe purcbase of a ncAV site, and tbe erection of a new building for tbe mint in t b a t city, I bave tbe bonor to present bercAvith my views in regard to tbe necessity and expediency of enacting tlie same into law.
. Tbe act establisbing t h e Mint of tbe United States Avas approved by President
Washington, April 2, 1792. The same year the structure for tJtie mint, a plain brick
edifice, was erected on Seventh street near Arch, in tbe city of Pbiladelpbia. The
following October tbe building was occux)ied for coinage purposes, and Avas so used
for a period of over forty years. Tbis was t h e first .public building erected in t h e
United States under tbe authority of t h e Federal GoA^ernment.
By act of May 19, 1829, the mint was permanently located in Philadelphia, and t h e
present mint edifice, Avbich stands at tbe corner of Chestnut and Junifjer streets, on a
lot fronting 150 feet on Chestnut street and extending back 204 feet to Penn Square,
was authorized. Tbe cornerstone Avas laid J u l y 4, 1829, and the building was completed and occupied for coinage purx^oses in 1833. This building has been used continuously, without any material enlargement, for a x^eriod of fifty-seven years, as tbe
principal coinage institution of tbe United States, altbougb the groAvth and coinage
requirements of tbe country bave long since outgrown its capacity. I t will be remembered t b a t tbis building Avas planned and erected t w e n t y years before the discoA^ery of gold in California and nearly forty years before tbe immense silver discoveries
of Nevada. Tbe product of the x^recious metals in tbe United States in 1833 was insignificant, tbe total product for the ten years 1834-^44 being only $7,750,000.^ Tbe
present product approximates annually $100,000,000.
Tbe coinage executed at the mint in 1833 was 10,370,700 pieces of the value, of
$3,765,710; t h e coinage of tbe same institution for t h e last calendar year (1889) aggregated 94,012,194 pieces, of tbe v a l u e o f $24,804,854.84.
i n addition to tbe coinage of gold and silver in common with the other mints of
the United States, t h e mint at Philadelphia is tbe^only institution in tbe United
States authorized by laAV to execute minor coinage, the demand for which has become
so x:)re88ing t b a t for several yeai^s past tbe Government has licen obliged to buy the
blanks ready for stamping, and for several months past nine large presses have been
used exclusively in tbe stamping of minor coin.
Moreovej, tbe mint at Pbiladelphia is the only one in tbe country whicb has connected w i t b it an engraving department, where, by statutory requirement, the devices for our coins are engraved, and t b e dies, both original and working, for all
our mints are made, and medals of a national character are executed.
Tbe building was not x^h'^'Uned w i t b any idea of adax^tation for many of the mecbanical and metallurgical operations at present carried on in it. AVhen it Avas
erected many of tbe processes of metallurgy now employed Avere unknoAvn. The
area in t h e center of t h e mint, originally intended for a stack through wbich t h e
fumes of acid, smoke, etc., could pass off", is now fiUed to t h e very roof Avitb Avooden
structures, Avbicb are not only objectionable in themselves, b u t increase the liability
to fire, and take away ventilation and ligbt, Avhile the erection in tbe immediate
vicinity of mucb bigber buildings prevents the free escape of the fumes from t h e
acid refinery, to tbe great annoyance of the public.
Tbe process of striking coin Avas by tbe screw-press worked by hand, and the introduction of steam for coinage purposes did not take place until 1836, three years
after tbe building was completed.
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
185
i t is not my x:)urpose to enumerate in detail the insufficiency of the present building for tbe x)i'oper and safe execution of the immense amount of work noAv turned
out. For detailed information on tbis x)oint reference is made to tbe letters of the
superintendent and operative officers inclosed. Certain it is t h a t no private manufacturing establishment would bave Avorked continuously for fifty-seven years in the
same building, Avitb an increase of 800 XDcr cent in its annual outx^ut (as sbown by
tbe coinage of pieces at this mint in 1889 as compared with 1833), Avithout largely
increasing its capacity.
I t has not been x^i^acticable to remedy the inadequacy of working space in tbe
mint at Pbiiadelx^bia by alterations and enlargements of the present building, owing
to tbe fact t h a t there is not sufficient area.
I t is essential for the efficient execution of the delicate and important processes of
coinage t h a t tbe mechanical operations of eacb department be conducted on the same
^ floor. The Avork rooms of tbe coiner's dex3artment, for instance—tbat is, all tbe
rooms for cutting, rolling, milling, and the other coinage operations—should be on
one floor.
In 1882 tbe attention of- Congress was directed to tbe insufficiency of tbe ground
area for tbe business of the mint, and a bill was favorably reported from the Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures authorizing the purcbase of adjoining
prox3erty covering a surface of 100 feet on Chestnut street and extending north 204
feet on Broad street.
Unfortunately this bill failed to become- a laAv, and tbe magnificent building now
occux^ied by the Girard Life Insurance, Annuity and Trust Comx^anj^, valued at
$1,000,000, has been built ux^on it, thus x)i'©cluding the Government from obtaining
" X>ossession of it. Nor is there any otber x^roperty adjoining whicb it is possible for
the Government now to secure; so t b a t it is impracticable to extend tbe area of the
mint in its present location.
If tberefore anything is to be done in tbe way of providing enlarged facilities for
tbe mint at Philadelphia the matter resolves itself into one of tAvo alternatives: either
the enlargement of the present building by an attic story or an extension of the
building to tbe line of tbe x^ortico, or b o t h ; or, as tbe otber alternative, the erection
of a new mint.
.
In accordance Avitb estimates prepared by tbe Supervising Architect an ax^prox^riation of $220,000 Avas included in the sundry ciAdl bill, ax^proved October 2, 1888, ^'for
tbe United States Mint at Philadelx^bia, Pa.;. for an additional story to and enlarging the building, including vault, alterations, and otber necessary Avork.'' Of tbis
appropriation tbe sum of $43,399.70 has been expended for the construction of ncAV
vaults, leaving $176,600.30 available for tbe enla.rgement contemplated.
Since tbis appropriation was made further plans and drawings have been prepared
by tbe SuperAdsing Architect contemplating an extension of tbe floor area by extending the building front to tbe line of the portico.
In my annual rex3ort for tbe fiscal year ended J u n e 30, f889, I bad tbe bonor to
recommend t b a t the appropriation available, viz, $176,600.30, be increased to the sum
of $420,000, t h a t being the estimate of the Sux^erAdsing Architect of the cost of the
extension designated in tbe last x^lans. ' If, then, the mint remain on its x^res.ent site,
an immediate exxDcnditure of $420,000 Aviil be necessary to afford proper room for its
business. Tbe expenditure of CA^en this la,rge sum Avill remedy tbe existing state of
things to only a limited extent, but Avill not accomplish the main purx^ose desired,
viz, sufficient ground area for tbe location of tbe work rooms of the mechanical deX3artments *on one floor.
The objections to an additional story are so forcibly pointed out in the letter of
Superintendent Bosbyshell t b a t I shall not repeat them.
The present time is ox^portune for tbe x^urcbase of a coiiA^enient site fox a n e w mint
building in Philadelphia. It is believed t b a t a suitable one, in a convenient section
of the city, on one of its most prominent streets, can be procured at a cost not exceeding $500,000 and t h a t tbe present site and edifice Avill sell for a sum axDproximating
$800,000; so t b a t if tbis bill should become a laAV about $300,000, tbe x^robable excess'
of the amount received for tbe present site aboA^e tbe cost of a new site, would be
available toAvards tbe erection of a new mint.
Estimates as to the cost of a new building suitable for the requirements of the
mint at Philadelphia Avill of course be furnished by tbe Sux^ervising Architect, but
I may remark t h a t the mint at San Francisco, finished in 1873, wbich is a large granite building, one of tbe most beautiful in t h a t city, x^erfectly adapted to its purposes,
was erected at a cost of $2,130,512.15 (not including the cost of site, $100,000). Making allowance for tbe reduced cost of labor and material at tbe present date as comX^ared with 1873, and especially in Philadelphia, as corapared Avitb San Francisco,
it would seem reasonable to say t h a t $1,500,000 Avould be the outside cost of a suitable building in Pbiladelpbia, or a net cost of $1,200,000, against an appropriation
of $420,000 already.asked for the enlargement of the mint if it remains in its present
location.
186
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
I can not too strongly urge ux:)on Congress the adAdsabilrty of purchasing a new site
and erecting a new mint, esx5ecially as the ox^x^ortunity Avhich now presents itself for
^securing a convenient and suitable location for a reasonable consideration may not
:soon occur again.
Surely this great Government, with its growing wealth and population, producing .
:annualiy from its mines $100,000,000 of tbe precious metals, can afford to bave the
very finest buildings as well as tbe best apx^liances and machinery for tbe important
:and delicate o|)erations of coining money, and it would seem as if an ax)prox:)riation
•of $1,200,000 for the erection of a suitable structure for its most imxDortant mint
should not be considered a piece of extraA^agance, b u t rather as an act demanded by
our national cbaracter.
I inclose herewith letters from the superintendent and operative officers of the
mint at Philadelx:)bia, to Avbich attention is invited.
Trusting this matter will receive your fa Adorable recommendation,
I am, very respectfully,
E.

Washington, D. C , February 17, 1890.
S I R : I h a v e tbe bonor to acknowledge the receix^t by reference from you of the
letter of tbe 13th instant, addressed, to you by tbe Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, House of Rex^rescntatives, requesting to be informed as to the present
condition o f t h e United States Mint building at Pbiladelx^bia, Pa., in regard to size,
convenience, etc., for transacting tbe x^ublic business, tbe need of a new building for
tbe purposes of the United States Mint, and sucb otber information in Regard to tbe
subject as may be deemed of use to said committee in connection witb H. R. bill
3910, introduced January 6, 1890, by Hon. Henry H. Bingham, to x^rovide for the sale
o f t h e x^resent United States Mint building and site, tbe purcbase of land suitable
for a site, and tbe erection tbereon of a UCAA^ x^^l>hc building for carrying on tbe business o f t h e mint in Pbiladelf^hia, Pa., the x3roceeds of tbe sale of tbe present United
States Mint x^roperty, or so mucb thereof as may be,necessary, to be used for the purpose of purchasing a UCAV site and erecting tbereon. a new building for said x^urxDose,
and to submit tbe folloAving:
.
I invite attention to tbe statements ru^de on pages 62 and 63 of tbe Annual
Rex^ort of tbe Sux^ervisiiig Architect of the Treasury Dex^artment, 1889.
The mint building in^Pbiladelxobia has been changed in arrangements and enlarged
by minor additions from time to time to meet the demands of tbe x)resent public business, and x^ractically all of tbe available ground Avitbin the metes and bounds o f t h e
site is now occupied by t h e building.
With the ax3X^rox)riatibn made by act of Congress ax^proved October 2, 1888, viz,.
$220,000, and the additional ax^x^ropriation of $200,000 asked for in the annual estimates, it is x^rox^osed to build a tbird story to tbe x^resent building and extend tbe
wings on eacb side of the entrance portico out to the street front as further additions
to the structure.
By making a new assignment of tbe old x)ortion of tbe structure witb the additional floor area to be obtained by sucb imx:)roA^ements there would be better facilities,
for tbe conduct o f t h e business ofthe mint t h a n there is now afforded in tbe building,
Tbese imx:)rovements,. bowcA^er, would, not x^i'pAnde the couA^enience needed for the
X^r ox:) er conduct o f t h e Avork o f t h e mint, nor secure full economy in the management
t h a t could be ax^x^lied if a structure with sufficient ground area was erected t h a t
AA^ould enable the work of tbe coinage of metals to be done continuously on one floor
Avithout tbe necessity of irregular transfers of tbe metals during tbe process of its
coinage between working rooms not contiguously arranged, and Avould x^revent the
inconvenience and delay incident to tbe necessary use of elevator service between,
the difi:erent stories of the building.
The metals should be deliA'ered at. one station and x^ass regularly from t b a t point,
througb the scA'-eral ax:)artments contiguously arranged, x:>rox3erly equix^ped witb the

Tbe actual cost of tbe present United States Mint building in Philadelx3bia, including the cost of alterations and rexDairs to June 30, 1889, is $432,871.48 x^lus the cost o f

From comx^utations made in tbe office o f t h e SuxDervising Architect of tbis Dexoartment based upon information receiA^ed,at is found that, to construct sucb a building,

suitable building for tbe exclusive use o f t h e United States Mint.I would therefore suggest that, to facilitate a speedy comx3liance w i t b tbe x^rovisions of tbe bill, should it become a law, said H. R. bill should be so modified as to
make a specific ax)x:>rox3riation for tbe purcbase of land for a site and tbe erection of
tbe building in addition to tbe sale of tbe present site and building, after tbe comX^letion of the UCAV building, and t b a t tbe x^roceeds from sucb sale be dex30sited Avitb

Hon.
W I L L I A M AVINDOM,
Secretary of the Treasury.
On June 5, 1890, Mr. Darlington, from the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds, submitted the following report:
[House Eeport No. 2326, Pifty-first Congress, first session.]
Tbe Committee on Public Buildings a-nd Grounds,, having bad under consideration
the bill (H. R. 9957) to x:)i'OAdde for the purcbase of a site and the erection of a x^ublic
building tbereon at Pbiladelx3liia, submits the folioAving rex:)ort:
' :
- The necessity for tbe.enlargement and iinx3rovement of the Mint of tbe United
States at Pbiladelx^bia, for Avbicb tbis bill x^rovides, bas been a matter of consideration by Congress since 1880. The House and Senate committees of tbe Forty-sixth
Congress rexDorted favorably ux)on a similar measure, and the House Committee on
Coinage, Weights, and Measures of tbe Forty-seventh Congress unanimously reported a bill wbicb bad originated in the Senate of like imx3ort. Tbe necessity for
increasing t h e facilities o f t h e Philadelx^liia Mint has never been questioned, b u t
from various causes tbe bills to whicb reference is made failed of final action in tbe
• House.
In considering the bill submitted, your committee has been greatly aided by information furnished by the Secretary of tbe Treasury and tbe Director of tbe Mint,
reenforced by tbe clear, concise, and intelligent statement of tbe superintendent
and operativ.e officers of tbe Pbiladelpbia Mint, as Avell as by a memorial signed by
the commissioners axDx^ointed b y t h e President to conduct tbe annual trial ofthe pyx
for tbe coinage of all tbe mints during tbe year 1889. From these A^arious autborities, all in substantial agreement as regards tbe embarrassments to Avbich the officers
in cbarge are subjected by reason of confined quarters, entailing lack of machinery,
imperfect ventilation and sanitation, your committee is clearly of tbe opinion tbat
t h e provision for the enlargement of tbe x)resent mint building included in tbe sundry
civil bill of 1888 ($220,000) signally fails to meet tbe requirements of effective public
service. Tbat x^J^OAdsion Avas " for an additional story to and enlarging tbe building,
including A^aults, alterations, and otber necessary work." Of this prox^osed enlarge,
ment of tbe building Sux')erA4sing Architect J. H. Windrim says tbat, Avhile it would
afford somewhat better facilities for tbe conduct of business t b a n at x^i'esent existit Avould not x:>i'ovide the conveniences .needed nor secure economy in management
t b a t could be secured by a structure Avitb x^rox^er ground area. Nor can tbe enlargement already authorized be made without an additional ax^x^i'ox^riation.
Tbe x^resent mint was erected and completed for coinage purxDoges in 1833, and has
been used, Avithout material enlargement, fifty-seven years. Tbe coinage executed
in 1833, at wbich time tbe production of the precious metals in tbe Unitecl States was
insignificant, Avas 10,370,700 pieces, ofthe value of $3,765,710, and the total value ofthe
gold and silver x^roduct for the ensuing ten years Avas only $7,750,000. Tbe present
annual product of the precious metals in the United States approximates $100,000,000,
and tbe coinage^ of the Pbiladelpbia Mint for the calendar year 1889 aggregated
94,012,194 X3ieces, of tbe value of $24,804,854.84. In addition to the coinage of gofdand

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
•o
silver tbe mint at Pbiladelpbia is the only institution designated by law to execute
minor coinage, for which tbe demand for smalP exchanges is cumulative and pressing. So great is tbe demand for tbese small coins t h a t the Government bas been
obliged to purchase tbe blanks ready for stamping, while 9 presses bave been kept
busy for many months in tbe execution of tbis coinage ' t o sux3X)ly x^^i^hc demand.
Tbe work demanded of tbis mint bas increased 800 X3er cent since the comx^letion of
tbe present building i n 1833, as is sbown by its annual output^.
Your committee finds a consensus of opinion among tbe officers familiar with coinage matters as resx3ects the remedy, which is increased ground area. ^ This is necessary for tbe efficient and x^roper conduct of tbe delicate and important processes of
coinage, Avbicb, Avbetber scientific or mechanical, are to be ranked as works of x^recision. Tbe entire mechanical operation should be on a single floor, the subdepartilients of eacb ox3erative officer being contiguous and continuous. In default of this
the work is hindered and tbe risk greatly increased. Tbis is particularly true in
the coinage dex3artment, Avhere tbe various processes for converting tbe ingot into
coin bave to be carried on in rooms often widely separated, however related tbe
processes may be, tbe metal in its several stages passing from ground floor to second
story, from seconds story to basement, and thence to tbe presses on the ground floor.
I t is evident t h a t processes so important and so necessarily connected Avitb national
credit should be divested of all unnecessary risks. Tbat is a desideratum; and it
can be secured only by sucb an arrangement of tbe coining department as Avill admit of the carrying forward of the work continuously in rooms contiguous and at
grade, so t b a t tbe officer in charge may bave the metal in its various stages under
his eye.
Sucb necessary supervision of the processes of coining can not be secured in t h e
present structure, even if the entire available ground space should be given up to
tbe coiner. But tbe processes througb wbicb tbe metals pass before tbey can go to
the coiner are many, and necessarily of absolute accuracy. The coinage laid upon
tbis mint requires the melter and refiner to melt daily jfrom 5 to 7 net tons of silver.
This important work, on the accuracy of Avhich t h e integrity of our coin largely
depends, bas to be carried on in cramped quarters and at a disadvantage that greatly
increases the labor and risk of t b a t officer. The entire Treasury purcbases of bullion assigned to this mint for conversion into coin have to be passed in at a windoAv
of a dex^aitment not under control of the melter and refiner, and no modification of
tbe structure yet x^roposed would remove this difficulty. The room referred to is
tbe deposit melting room, Avbere the bullion of dexjositors. is melted, a room t h a t
should be absolutely isolated from every otber and from the public. The melter and
refiner is, by courtesy and necessity, allowed to receive the Treasury purchases
through tbe window of this room, and through tbe same windoAv must be taken the
fuel for its furnaces. This iuA^olves constant interruptions of the x^rocesses, and
more or less confusion, alikQ unjust and detrimental to tbe ox3erative officers concerned, tbe efficiency of public service, and to depositors, whose dex30sits are there
prepared for assay.
Tbe exigencies of tbe otber operative dexDartments of tbis mint confine the melter •
and refiner to a single room, in wbicb be is required to melt and prepare ingots of
gold, silver, nickel, and bronze. I t is believed t b a t conditions so incomx^atible Avith
AVork t h a t must be absolutely accurate or fail altogether do not exist in any mint of
modern structure. No subdivision of any space available in the building can remedy
this disability. Beyond these defects the chimney-stacks of the melter and refiner's
department are overtopx:)ed by tbe walls of tbe adjoining buildings to tbe extent of
five stories. This leaves'the draft ofthe melting-furnaces at the caprice of the winds,
Avbicb from tbe west impair the draft and frqm the east drive the fumes and product of combustion into tbe Avindows of neighboring residents. It may be regarded
as merely a question of time wben tbe neighboring residents will complain of this
annoyance as a nuisance.
Wlien tbe x^resent structure was planned, many of the processes of metallurgy now
employed were unknown. Some improved machinery, oxoerated by steam, was introduced in 1836. Improved appliances bave been added from time to time, until now
this mint la^s behind a quarter of a century in the race of imxDrovement simply because every inch of available space bas been exhausted. Machinery ofthe most advanced order bas become a necessity, and it awaits the purchaser ^A^ho bas space for
its accommodation and operation. The mint at Philadelphia can not avail itself of
such desirable a n d necessary appliances because its ground space is fully occupied
already. The central area, originally intended for ventilating purposes and working space, has, from time to time, as the exigency demanded, been occupied by
structures t h a t impair ventilation and lighting and endanger the health, as tbey
decrease tbe comfort and convenience, of tbe working force. The bigb modern
structures on either band prcA^ent the escape and diffusion.of tbe acid fumes from
tbe refinery and cause them to pervade tbe entire buildingo
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
189
I t is proper to note t b a t certain operations by law authorized to be performed at
the Philadelphia mint are not performed at any o f t h e otber mints. The dies for tbe
coinage of all tbe mints and for national medals are all designed and prex)ared at
tbis mint, and all medals of a na,tional cbaracter are executed in the same institution.
Tbe engraving department, one of tbe most important of all, because it must maintain uniformity of design in coinage, at x^resent is indifferently accommodated. I t
can not,be relieved by any modiiication of the present structure. The assayer and
tbe melter and refiner perform intimately related functions, yet they are necessarily
located on different floors at present; nor would alterations of the structure enable
tbem to occupy communicating apartments. Tbe assay department of the Philadelphia mint enjoys, and bas from an early day enjoyed, an enviable repute for accuracy tbrougbout tbe commercial world. Such repute is of incalculable value to the
nation, since it°goes to establisb tbe very foundation of national credit througb tbe
knoAvn and invariable integrity of its coinage.
Your committee finds t b a t it i's impossible to p u t systematic methods in force
in tbe present structure. Yet sucb methods are undoubtedly necessary to secure the
bigbest results at a minimhm risk and Avith economy. I t is the x^arent mint, establivsbed early in the nation's career, and located at Philadelphia for reasons quite obvious. Tbe location is near the seaboard, yet not exposed to tbe hazards of invasi.on; in. a great commercial and manufacturing metropolis, and Avitbin easy communication of tbe trade centers of tbe Atlantic slope. Tbe location is in itself a
guaranty of safety for tbe treasure t b a t naturally flows to the mint. And this is
t h e foremost and richest nation of tbe Avorld, t h e greatest x^roducer of the monej^
metals of all, and now, as for years, requiring more service from its mints t h a n any
other nation. Your committee submits t b a t tbe parent mint of the foremost nation on
t h e globe should not be second to any either in Avorking space, axopliances, or in tliat
structural excellence and design which conjoined crystallize the history of national
progress in adamant. While your committee fully discriminates betAveen what is
necessary and appropriate, and what is extravagant and lavish in exxDenditures, it
recommends such a reconstruction of the parent mint at Pbiladelphia as shall respond
to public exigiencies and redound to the credit of tbe nation.
In tbis connection it is proper again to refer to the fact t h a t the commission apX^ointed by t h e President to conduct the annual assay last February, was composed
of men eminent in tbe business, political,/and scientific world, many of tbem distinguisbed x^bysicists and metallurgists, and t b a t tbis commission, becoming impressed
with tbe croAvded condition of tbe mint building and its x^rocesses, unanimously
memorialized Congress in favor of a UCAA^ structure witb greater ground space and
ax:>pr6ved modern appliances. Tbe gentlemen of t h a t commission rex3resented every
section of the Union, from Maine to California, and tbeir unanimous testimony bas
value accordingly.
After giving full consideration to t b e facts submitted by tbe Secretary of theTreasury, tbe Director of the Mint, tbe superintendent of the mint at Pbiladelpbia, and
bis operative officers, together with tbe statements of tbe Supervising Architect of
the Treasury Department, the committee is enabled to conclude—
First. Tbe present mint building at Pbiladelpbia is entirely inadequate to the
seiwice required botb as regards area and appliances.
Second. No enlargement of ground area is possible; to increase height will not
remoA'C tbe disadvantages under Avbicb tbe operations are x^erformed.
Tbird. To remedy tbe disabilities so clearly set forth, a n e w site Avith amx^le ground
area is absolutely necessary, and a new building on modern lines, with sucb modern
apx)liances as experience bas proA^ed necessary for good Avork and x^recision, be
erected and equipped.
,
'
The Director of tbe Mint states t b a t of tbe sum of $220,000 appropriated by tbe
sundry civil bill of 1888 for improA^ements tbe sum of $176,600.30 remains available,
and t h a t be bas recommended, upon an estimate o f t h e Supervising Architect, an increase of tbis balance to $420,000. If then tbe mint remains at its present location,
an immediate expenditure of $420,000 will be necessary.
Tlie bill submitted with tbis report provides for the purcbase of a site and tbe
erection of a UCAV building at Pbiladelpbia, a t a cost not exceeding $2,000,000, and
t h e sale of tbe present building and site. The committee belicA^es t b a t a ne.Av site
witb ample ground space and in a desirable location can be procured at a cost of
$500,000, and t b a t tbe property now occupied can be sold for at least $800,000. Tbe
net cost therefore of tbe property would be $1,200,000, against an appropriation of
$420,000 already asked and in X3art appropriated for the enlargement of the mint if
it remains at its present location. I t is probable t b a t tbe Government can at tbis
time purcbase a desirable site at a less cost t b a n at any future time. I t failed to
avail itself of tbe option ofthe entire area from its western foundations to Broad street
at a moderate price some years ago, and again in 1882, Avben the land might bave
been bad for $400,000, and probably less. Tbe same land can not be purchased to-day
tor less than $2,000,000 with the improvements.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES,
Tbe committee assumes t b a t the mint will be x^ermanently located at Philadelphia,
and as enlargement is. a certainty, true economy x)oints at the prcsenf as the prox^er
time to provide therefor. The Pbiladelx^hia, Mint was tlie first x^ublic building erected
in the United States under Federal anthority, and t b e act creating it was ax3X3roved
by President AVashington. Its liistory and the coinage of tbe nation is one of tbe
niany historical associations t h a t cluster around the city of Pbiladelx^bia—memorable
in every x^atriotic imx^ulse and action.
Tbe committee recommend thex^assage of tbe bill Avith tbe folioAAdng amendments:
In line 12 strike out all after the word ^ dollars^^ down to and including line 15,
^
wbicb is tbe ax3prox3riating claiise.
In line 26 strike out tbe Avords " by this act,'^
In line 38 strike out tbe Avord ^ said.''

I n line 41 strike out t h e Avord " said."
E"o action A^as taken, duriiig the first session of the Fifty-first Congress, by the House of Eepresentatives, on the i'avorable report, from
the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds on the bill providing
for the purchase of a neA¥ site and the erection of a ncAv mint at Philadelphia.
During the second session of the Fifty-first Congress, Senate bill ISTo.
5110 (being identical with the bill favorably reported from the House
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds) to provide for the ]3urchase of a site and the erection of a public building thereon at Philadelphia, was taken from the Calendar and passed the Senate February
26, 1891.
'
^'
In the House of Representatives, on March 2, 1891, on motion of Mr.
Bingham, the rules were suspended and Senate bill 5110 Avas passed, .
The bill A^as approved by the President the next day.
The folioAAang is the text of the law:
A B I L L to proAdde for the purclnase of a site ancl the erection of a public buildingo thereon at Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsyh'^ania.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Eepresentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and be is hereby,
authorized and directed to acquire, by purcbase, condemnation, or otherAvise, a site
and cause to be erected tbereon a suitable building,, including fireproof vaults,
beating and ventilating appa-ratus, eleA''ators, and apxDroacbes, for the use and accommodation of tbe United States Mint, in tbe city of Pbiladelx^bia and State of
PeniisylA^ania, tbe cost of said site and building, including said vaults, heating and
ventilating apxiaratus, elcA^ators, and ax3X^i'oaches, comx3lete,.not to exceed tbe sum
of tAVO million dollars.

and other expenses incident to tbe selection of tbe site, and for necessary survey
thereof, sball be immediately aA^ailable.

the selection of tbe site by the Secretary of the^Treasury.
No money apx^ropriated shall be available, excex^t as hereinbefore provided, until
a valid title to the sitQ^for said building sball be vested in tbe United States, nor
until tbe State of Pennsylvania sball have ceded to tbe United States exclusive
jurisdiction over the same, during tbe time the United States sball be or remain the
owner thereof, for all purxDOses excex^t t h e . administration of tbe criminal laws of
said State and the service of ciAdl process therein.
After the said site shall have been x^aid for and tbe sketch x^lans and detailed drawings for tbe buildings sball have been x)rex)aredbythe Sux)erAising Architect, and approved by tbe Secretary of t h e Treasury and Director of tbe Mint, the balance of

thereof, and to deposit tbe x^roceeds of tbe sale to the credit of tbe Treasurer o f t h e
United States in the manner prescribed by section tbirty-six hundred and seventeen
and tbirty-six bundred and eigbteen, United States Revised Statutes.
Soon after the jjassage of this law the question was raised as to Avhether
it contained any appropriation for carrying into effect its proAdsions.
The question Avas submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury to the
Attorney-General for his opinion.
The folloAving is the opinion of the Attorney-General on the subject:
DEPARTMENT OF J U S T I C E ,
Washington, D. C , March ^8, 1891.
SIR : By letter of tbe 7th instant you invited the attention, of tbe Attorney-General
to an act of Congress, apprOA^ed Marcb 3, 1891, entitled '^An act to x>rovide for the
Xmrcbase of a site and t h e erection of a public building tbereon at Pbiladelpbia, in
t h e State of Pennsylvania," and' requested bis opinion ^^Avbether or not said bill
carries the ax>X3rox3riation of $2,000,000 mentioned therein for tbe purcbase o f t h e site
named in tbe bill and t h e erection of a building tbereon." You inclosed a copy of
the act, tbe important x)art of Avbicb for this discussion is as fblloAvs:
^'That tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed
to acquire, by x^urcliase, condemnation, or otherAvise, a s i t e , and cause to be erected
tbereon a suitable building, including firex^roof vaults, beating and ventilating ax3paratus, elevators, and axoproacbes, for tbe use and accommodation of the United
States mint in t h e city of Pbiladelx^bia and State of Pennsylvania, tbe cost of said
site and building, including said vaults, beating and ventilating apx)aratus, elevators, and approaches, comx^lete, not to exceed tfie sum of $2,000,000.
^^So much of the apx^ropriation as may be necessary to defray traveling expenses
and otber exx^enses incident to the selection of tbe site, and for necessary survey
thereof, sball be immediately aA^ailable.
" So mucb of said axox^i'opriation as may be necessary for tbe x^reparation of sketch
plans, drawings, specifications, and detailed estimates for the building by the Sux^ervising Architect of tbe Treasury Department shall be available immediately ux^on
tbe selection of the site by the Secretary of tbe Treasury.
" No money ax^prox^riated shall be aA^ailable, excex^t as hereinbefore x^rovided, uiitil
a A^alid title to the site for said building shall be A^ested in the United States, nor
until tbe State of Pennsylvania shall haveced.ed t o t h e United States exclu sive jurisdiction over tbe sanie^ during the time the United States shall be or remain the oAA^ner
thereof, for all x^urx^oses excex^t tbe administration of tbe criminal laws of said State ^
and tbe service of civil x^rocess therein.
^ After tbe said site shall have been paid for, and tbe vsketcb plans and detailed
^
draAvings for tbe building shall have been x^rex^ared b}^ the Supervising Architect
and axDproved by tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury and Director of the Mint, the balance
of ax^prox^riation sball be available for tbe erection and comx^letion of the building,
including fireproof vaults, beating and ventilating ax3X3aratus, elevators, and apX)roacbes, and such balance of the ax^propriation as inaj^ remain available after tbe
building sball have been comx)leted shall be applied to and used in tbe X5u.rcbase of
apx^aratus fbr tbe X3urx30ses of tbe mint."
In my ox^inion no money is appropriated by tbis act for tbe x)urposes therein inentioned. Its language, j u s t quoted, if taken alone, Avould probably by imx)lication
° carry an appropriation; b u t Avben Ave consider it in connection witb the rule of construction laid down in tbe section o f t h e sundry ciAdl act of August 7, 1882 (22
Stats., 305), referred to by you, together Avitb tbe x^aiii anient ary history of this act,
and .others of tbe same character passed by tbe same Congress, it is impossible to escape the conclusion t h a t Congress did not intend by tbe hinguage aboA^e quoted to
take t h e sum of money therein mentioned out of tbe Treasury. The section in the
sundry civil act of 1882 is as folloAvs:
"Provided, Tbat no act passed authorizing tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury to x^urcbase a site and erect a X3ublic building tbereon sball be beld and construed to appropriate money, unless tbe act in exx^ress language makes such appropriations."
Though tbis is a x^roviso in an. apxn'oxDiiation bill, its language is so general as to
affect all future legislation. Tbe act under consideration, tberefore, must contain
an exx3ress approx^riation of money. There certainly is no exx^ress ax^x^ropriation of
$2,000,000. There is a reference in the second x)aragraph of tbe act to an. apx)rdx)riation. I n tbe tbird x)ai'agrapb tbe reference is repeated, witb the Avords ^^said apX^rox^riation." The Avord '^apx3ropriated" occursin tbe fourtb x^ar a graph, and ^ bal^
ance of the ax^proxiriation" tAvice in the fifth. I t A ould be natural to refer these
V
words to the exx^ress authority conferred on tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury in the first

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
X^aragrax^b—to acquire by purchase, condemnation, or otherwise, a site, and cause to
be erected tbereon a suitable building not to exceed tbe sum of $2,000,000, and to
give to t b a t authority the effect of an a,pprox3riation. Such a construction, boAvcA'^^er,
would be an ax3propriation by imx>licatio.n, forbidden by the section of the sundry
ciAil act of 1882, quoted above.
'
The x^arliamentary history of tbe act Avill sboAV t h a t the words " appropriation '^
and ^'ax)propriated," wbercA^er thej^ occur in the act, must have reference to a future
ax^x^rox^riation to be made in another act, and must be construed to limit the exx^enditure under sucb apxDropriation. I t apx)ears t b a t on May 2,1890 (Congressional Record, vol. 21, p a r t 5, p. 4172), a bill (H. R. 9957) to provide for tbe purcbase of a site
and tbe erection of a public building tbereon, at Pbiladelx3bia, in tbe State of PennsylA^ania., was introduced by Mr. Bingham, was read tAvice, and referred to tbe Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. On J u n e 5, 1890 (Congressional Record,,
vol. 21, p a r t 6, x^- 5670), Mr. Darlington, from tbe Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, rexoorted this bill Avitb amendments, a,nd it was committeci to the Committee of the Whole House on tbe state of tbe Union and ordered to be printed. The
bill, as originally introduced by Mr. Bingham, was exactly like the act under consideration except t h a t at the end of the first x^aragraph were the following Avords:
^'Which said sum of two million dollars is hereby ax^propriated for said purx^ose out
of any moneys in tbe United States Treasury n o t otherwise appropriated," and t b a t
in tbe fourth paragraph after the AVords ^^no money apj)ropriated ^' were the AA^ords
^^by this act," and in the fifth paragraph, before t h e word^^ appropriation " a s it
occurs twice therein, was the Avord ^' said." The bill as reported back by tbe committee was accompanied by a report (Report No. 2326) wbich recommended tbe passage of t h e bill, with t h e following amendments:
"^^In line twelve, strike out all after the yvord ^^ doUars" doAvn to and including
line fifteen, which is the appropriating clause. In line twenty-six, strike out the Avords
^' by this act." In line thirty-eight, strike out the word ^' said" I n line forty-one,
strike out the word ^^said."
Nothing else Avas done with the bill in the first session. On February 19,1891, Mr.
Spooner, for Mr. Cameron, introduced in the Senate a bill exactly in the words o f t h e
bill which Ave bave followed in the House, as ainended b y t h e Committee on Public
Buildings. Tbe bill Avas referred in tbe Senate to the Committee on Public Grounds
and Buildings, and on February 26, 1891, Avas reported back and passed. February
28, 1891, in the House tbe Senate bill Avas read tAvice and referred to the Committee
on Public Grounds and Buildings, by whom, on tbe same day, it was rexDorted with
the recommendation that, as it was identical witb the House, bill, it be taken as a
substitute for the same and passed (H. R. 4025). I t was x^assed in tbis form, and Avas
ax)proved on Marcli 3,1891. The Senate bill is the same bill as the amended House
bill, and was introduced as an original bill in tbe Senate merely to facilitate its
passage. The bistorj^ of t h e House bill must, therefore affect the construction of the
Senate bUl which finally became t h e law. The amendments to t h e original House
bill conclusively established the intention on the part of Congress to eliminate the
ax3propriation.
A reference to t h e Congressional Record, vol. 21, p a r t 5, x^P- 2040 to 2049, will
disclose an extended debate as to the policy to be pursued by the House of Rex^resentatives on bills for the erection of public buildings and will throw light on the
purpose o f t h e Honse Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, in striking out
the appropriating clause in t h r i l l under discussion. I t Avill there be found t h a t tbe
conclusion reached was, t h a t no X3ublic building bill should be allowed to x>^ss containing an appropriation; t h a t the matter of appropriations forthe buildings whose
construction was authorized should be l(}ft to the Appropriations Committee, to be
included in the sundry civil bill. The Senate concurred in t h a t '^VMX as will be
found by reference to the Congressional Record, vol. 21, part 5, x^p. 4188 and 4189, where,
in discussion over the passage of a bill authorizing the erection of a public building
at Lima, Ohio, Mr. Payne, in support of his amendment to the bill, striking out the
appropriating clause, in ansAver to Mr. Sherman's remark t h a t '^ the Avords of ax^pfopriation ought to be left i h " said: ^^No, the committee of conference have agreed,
on t h e demand of t h e otber House, to strike out all the apx^rox^riations in x^ublic
building bills, and all the bills t h a t go to the House are amended in t h a t Avay."
Mr. SHERMAN. ^^ And proAdding for t h e appropriations in a sex^arate general bill."
Many o f t h e public building bills passed by the Fifty-first Congress Avere xnefjared
w i t h an approx^riating clause, and Avhen this was stricken out in accordance with the
policy j u s t adverted to, care Avas not always taken to strike out also in subsequent
clauses of the same bills references to the eliminated ax^x^ropriation. These clauses
usually fixed the time at Avhich parts o f t h e appropriation should become aA^ailable.
The only effect which can be x^rox^eiiy given to such references in x^ublic building
acts, is to make theiii ax^x^ly to apx^rox^riations for the purpose of carrying out the
act to be thereafter made^

A consideration of other bills passed by this same Congress for the erection of public buildings, in connection with the appropriations therefor in the sundry civil bill,
leaves no doubt of the correctness of this construction. On page 66 of the Pamphlet
LaAvs of the first session. Fifty-first Congress, is an act authorizing the construction
of a public building at Baton Rouge, La. The third clause of t h a t bill i s : ^' So mucb
of the appropriation herein made as may be necessary to defray tbe expenses of advertising for proposals, etc., shall be immediately available."
The third clause i s : ^^So much of said appropriation as may be necessary for the
preparation, etc., shall be available immediately upon the report of the commissioners selecting the site."
. Other clauses of a similar character follow. Nevertheless, we find on page 371 ofthe
sundry civil act for the same year an appropriation ^' for post-office at Baton Rouge,
Louisiana; for purchase of site and commencement' of building under present limit,
thirty thousand dollars." I t Avould be absurd to contend t h a t the bill, authorizing
the construction and fixing the limit of $100,000, contained an appropriation of t h a t
amount, and t h a t this appropriation of $30,000 in the sundry civil bill was in addition thereto. The two acts are only t o . be reconciled, therefore, on the theory t h a t
the first v/as not intended to carry an appropriation, as its parliamentary history
Avill show, and t h a t the reference to the appropriation made in the original act
must be giveji effect by applying it to the approx3riation under the sundry, civil bill.
The same thing is true of the acts authorizing the construction of public buildings
at Martinsburg (Pamphlet Laws, Fifty-first Congress, first session, 127), at Lafayette, Ind., and at Burlington, Iowa, by t h e same congress (Pamphlet Laws, p p . I l l
and 107), appropriations for which will be found in the sundry ciAdlact in the same
volume (p. 371 et seq.) o f t h e Pamphlet Laws.
The conclusion necessarily is, then, t h a t there is no appropriation in the act now
in question. The fact t h a t Congress failed in the sundry civil appropriation act
of 1891 to make any appropriation to which the language in this act can apply, is
not material.
Tbe presumption arising therefrom must J)e t h a t the Fifty-first Congress deemed
it wise t o delay tbe time for carrying out t h e a c t until a future Congress should make
an appropriation therefor.

Tt wiU be seen that the Attorney-General held.that the act in question contained no appropriation.
On July 10, 1891, the Secretary of the Treasury addressed a communication to the folloAving-named gentlemen, residing in Philadelphia:
Hon. E. H. Fitler, Samuel Gustine Thompson, Anthony J. Drexel, William M. Singerly, James H. Windrim, Alexander K, McClure, and O. C.

The communication read:

O F F I C E OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, D. C , July 10, 1891.
DEAR S I R : The act of Congress approved March 3, 1891, entitled '^An act to provide for the purcbase of a site and the erection of a public buHding thereon," directed ^ That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and
^
directed t© acquire by purchase, condemnation, or otherwise, a site and cause to be
erected thereon a suitable building, including fireproof vaults, heating and ventilating apparatus, elevators, and approaches, for tbe use and accommodation of the
United States Mint, in the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, the cost of
said site and building, including said vaults, heating and ventilating apparatus, elevators, and approaches, complete, not to exceed the sum of two million doUars."
I t was the very general belief of those interested in the passage of this measure
t h a t it was the intention of Congress to appropriate $2,000,000 for carrying out the
purposes of the act, b u t owing to t h e absence of express language of approx3riation,
it has been decided t h a t there is no money appropriated by this act for the purposes
mentioned, and consequently t h a t no expense can be incurred in connection therewith. In order, hoAvever, t h a t t h e Department may be in a position to submit for
future Congressional action some definite estimate as to the cost of procuring a suitable site for the mint at Philadelphia, I have the bonor to request t h a t you will act

CHARLES FOSTER,
Secretary of the Treasury.
On September 8, 1891, the commission designated by the Secretary of
the Treasury submitted a unanimous report recommending a suitable
site for the mint of the United States at Philadelphia, with an estimate
of its cost, not exceeding $800,000.
I have the honor to recommend that Congress be requested to approIDriate $800,000 for the purchase of a new site for the mint at Philadelphia, including the preparation of plans for a new mint.
AMENDMENT TO T H E LAW REGARDING PARTING AND REFINING OF
BULLION AT T H E MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICE AT N E W YORK.
In my last fiscal report attention was directed to the fact that under
a decision of the First Comptroller of the Treasury, October 24, 1885,
the receipts from the sale of spent acid and blue vitriol, by-products of
the acid refineries, which prior to that time had been used in offsetting
bills for acid for the refinery, were construed to be sales of old material,
and the money so derived was required to be deposited in the Treasury
of the United States as a miscellaneous receipt.
In that report letters of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, the Director of
the Mint, and the First Comptroller, Recommending a change in the
law,by Avhich the amount received from the sale of by-products from acid
refineries might be applied as-formerly to the expenses of the refineries,
were presented.
These letters were as foUows:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, January 20,1887.
S I R : I have t h e honor to transmit herewith, for t h e consideration of Congress,
copy of letter o f t h e Director o f t h e Mint, of t h e 12th instant, and inclosure, re'commending certain legislation in the matter of parting and refining bullion by which
the sale of t h e by-products of acid refineries can be appUed to t h e reduction of t h e
exx3enses of such refineries.
Respectfully, yours,
D. MANNING,
Secretary.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, B U R E A U O F THE MINT,
Washington, D.. C , January 12, 1887.
S I R : Paragraph 8, page 379, of t h e Supplement to t b e Revised Statutes of t h e
United States, provides:
'^And refining and parting of bullion shall be carried on a t t h e mints of t h e United
States and at t h e assay office at New York.
''And it shall be lawful to apply the moneys arising from' charges collected from
depositors for these operations pursuant to law, so far as may be necessary, t o t h e

' ' B u t no part of t h e moneys otherwise appropriated for t h e support of the minta
DIRECTOR OF T H E MINT. '
195
and tbe assay office at New York shall be used to defray the expenses of refining and
parting bullion."
Under this x)rovision of law, Avhich was passed originally in the approx3riation act
approved August 15, 1876 (19 Stats., 156,-157), tbe charges for parting and refining
bullion were so fixed at the several coinage mints and the assay office at New York
t h a t the receipts should equal, as nearly as x^ossible, the expenses of the operations. The spent acid and blue vitriol resulting from the processes of refining, prior
to October 24, 1885, havebeen credited on the bills for acid, thereby reducing the expenses of the refinery at the New York assay office some $20,000 a year. On the 24th
October, 1885, the first comptroller decided t h a t the receipts from spent acid and
blue vitriol must be couvsidered as old material, and, under section 3618 Revised Statutes, deposited in the Treasury. In the report of this Bureau for the last fiscal year,
pages 6 and 7,1, have referred to the effect of this ruling in the accounts o f t h e assay
office at New York. A similar effect will be produced upon the accounts of the
whole mint service, in t h a t the expenditure wUl not appear to have been diminished by regular manufacturing assets.
A still more importa.nt effect of this ruling is to render the acid refineries of the
mint service, under the present schedule of charges, no longer able to be self-supporting, as the law requires.
I t Avill be necessary, therefore, either to mcrease the schedule of charges imxDosed"^
upon depositors of bullion or modify the law so as to exx3licitly provide for the application of the proceeds of the sale of t h e by-products of the acid refineries of the
mints and assay offices of the United States to the reduction of the expenses of tbe
operations of such acid refineries.
I have the honor to recommend the latter alternative, and beg to suggest t h a t
par. 8, p. 379, of the Supplement to t h e Revised Statutes, be reenacted in the legislative ax3prox3riation bill for the fiscal year 1888, so as to read as follows:
"And refining and parting of bullion shall be carried on at the mints of the United
States and at the assay office at New York.
"And it shall be lawful to apply, pursuant to law, t h e moneys arising from charges,
collected from depositors and from the proceeds of the sale of by-products resulting
from the operations of the refinery, so far as may be necessary, to the defraying in
full o f t h e expenses thereof, including labor, materials, and wastage.
" B u t no p a r t of t h e moneys otherwise apx^ropriated for the support of the mints
and the assay office at New York shaU be used to defray the expenses of refining and
parting bullion."
Hoping t h a t you will be pleased to present this matter to t h e consideration of
Congress,
I am, very respectfully, yours,

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS OF MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICES.
The precious metals received at the mints and assay offices during
the fiscal year 1891 were valued at $143,255,832, against $92,793,958
i*eceived in the previous year, an increase of $50,461,874.
The value of the precious metals deposited only partially represents
the operations necessary for their metallurgical and mechanical treatment.
The operations of the melting and refining departments of the coinage mints and of the assay office at ISTew York, so far as the value of.
the metals treated is concerned, is exhibited in the following table:

In quantity the precious metals operated upon ih the different departments ofthe mints and assay offices during the last fiscal year exceeded 228 tons of gold and 4,942 tons of siNer.
^ The value of the precious metals wasted in the metaUurgical and
mechanical operations was $12,287.05.
In addition to operative wastage, a loss of $15,850.41 was incurred
from the sale of sweeps, equivalent to the difference between the value
of the precious metals contained in sweeps recovered and the amount
realized from the sale of sweeps too base to be treated advantageously
in Government refineries.
There was a similar loss of $84.16 by the sale of leady melts, and a
wastage of minor-coinage metal of the value of $1,188.78.
These wastages and losses aggregated $29,410.40.
Against these losses there were gains arising from the operations on
bullion as follows:

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
WhUe it is inequitable to draw comparisons between the relative cost
of coinage at the various mints, as exhibited in the above table, for.the
reason that the character and amount of the coinages executed at them
are so dissimilar, it is gratifying to report that the expenses of coinage
was considerably reduced as compared with prior years, the cost per
piece last year being sUghtly less than 1 cent, against a cost -per piece
exceeding 1 cent the prior year, and, exclusive of minor coinage, 2-^
cents per piece during the last fiscal year against 2^- cents in the preceding year.
The foUoAving table exhibits the i^roportion of finished coins produced
from ingots operated upon at each of the coinage mints during the

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
In my last fiscal report attention was directed to the valuable and
inaterial improvements introduced in the mint at Philadelphia, under
the efficient management of the present superintendent, Mr. O. O.
Bosbyshell, insuring not only greater comfort and convenience,, but
more efficient service.
During the last fiscal year the addition of needed improvements, the
abandonment of obsolete machinery, and the reclamation of room, have
added greatly to the convenience of business and the efficiency of the
mint.
Aside from the purchase of new machinery, most of these improvements haA^e been made by the mint force and at slight expense.
A commodious room has been built on the top of the steel vault in
the courtyard, which is used for the redemption, sorting, and counting
of minor coins, while the space formerly occupied in the basement for
this pnri^ose has been utilized for temporary vaults for the storage of
silverbars.
The storage capacity has been further increased by lowering the
floors of two old vaults to a level with the corridor, Awhile vaults for the
cashier and for the custody of silver coins receivecl for recoinage have
been constructed by loAvering the floor of the custodian's room and removing his office to the upper corridor.
The rooms assigned the cashier and calculating clerks have been enlarged and greatly improved by removing the walls in the east and
west corridors and inserting in place thereof glass partitions and counters. This not only affords more space and light, but greater convenience to the public.
In the coining department, a new set of steel rolls with the necessary
shafting has been set up.
The rolls used for finishing the strips were formerly obtained from
Krupp, in • Germany, but in late years he has decUned to famish them.
American steel rolls have been tried with indifferent success, and
recently the shrinkage of hardened sleeves over steel mandrils were
tried, but with little satisfaction.
I t is therefore gratifying to report that new steel rolls, manufactured
by the Tretheway Company, of Pittsburg, were secured during the past'
year, which have been found to do the work admirably. They are
harder, and retain their face even better than the Krupp rolls, and are
superior.to any steel rolls yet used in the mint.
Two additional recutting xnesses and a self-feeding cutting press

The work of the assay departinent for the fiscal year comprised the
testing of some 13,000 melts of bullion, upward of 500 barrels of sweeps,"
the making of 65,000 cupels, and the stamping of nearly 70,000 bars,also many hundred special assays.
The principal improvement in this department during the year was
the introduction of an electric motor plant.
The amount of bulUon operated ui3on in the acid refinery during the
fiscal year was 686,101 standard ounces of gold and 3,472,898 of silver.
The result of the year's work was a surplus of 603.085 ounces of gold
and 2,034.18 of silver.
A feature of the business not much regarded by the general public
is worthy of attention, both as an economy, and as indicating the
great progress effected, in recent years, in the refineries of gold and
sUver ore established in the United States. Formerly the sweepings
recovered were sold at an average deduction of about 4 J cents per pound
from assay value, and were shipped abroad for reduction. ]S"ot only has
the shipment abroad ceased, but the average deduction from assay value,
made by domestic refineries in buying, has been reduced to about I J
cents, As 460 barrels of sweeps, containing nearly 200,000 pounds net,
were sold from this institution alone during the year, some idea maybe
formed ofthe immense saving throughout the country effected by the
improvement in refining base bars and bullion.
A t the close of theyear the gold and sUver bullion was weighed and
the coin examined by Messrs F. P . Gross, adjuster of this Bureau, and
H. C. Stier, of the First Auditor's Office, Treasury Department, who
reported that they found on hand aU the buUion and coin with which the
superintendent was charged.

Samples from twenty-seven shipments of Mexican ore were received
from the United States surveyor of customs at St. Louis and were
assayed for him. These require the determination, by three separate
assays, of the gold, silver, lead, and copper in each sample, and would
have cost the Government $432 if paid for at the rates formerly charged
in this office and prescribed by regulations then in force. No credit
is taken for this in the earnings.

MONETARY STATISTICS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
The statistics of the coinage and production of the precious metals .
in foreign countries, pubUshed annually in the reports of this Bureau,
are obtained directly from the governments of such countries by our
representatives abroad, a fact which invests them with the highest
degree of reliability, and explains why it is that the reports of the
Mint Bureau have come to be recognized, the world over, as the
most exhaustive and trustworthy authority on the statistics relating to
these subjects.
The points on which information is sought are embodied ia a set of
.questions in a circular sent through the Department of State to our
diplomatic representatives abroad, and the answers are received in the
form of a report direct to this Bureau.
The questions covering the calendar year 1890 were as follows:
(1) W h a t was t h e amount of gold coined during the calendar year 1890 by denominations and values? W h a t amount was recoined (withdrawn from circulation) during the year, domestic and foreign coins separately?
(2) Same for silver.(3) W h a t was the import and export of gold during the calendar year 1890 ? Coin,
bullion, and ore should be given separately where practicable.
(4) Same for silver.
(5) What was the weight, expressed in kilograms, and the value of the gold produced from the mines .during the calendar year 1890?
(6) Same for silver.
(7) What, approximately, was the stock of gold coin and bullion in the country at"
the close of the calendar year 1890.
(8) Same for silver.
(9) What was the amount of Government and bank notes outstanding at the same
date?
. •
(10) Were any laws passed during the year 1890 affecting the coinage, issue, or
legal-tender character of the metalhc and paper circulation? If so, please transmit
copies.
(11) In case the report o f t h e operations of the mint is published, please .forward
a copy.
"^
These replies should be in the form of a report, written on one side of the paper
only, and transmitted direct to the ^ Dhector of the Mint, Treasury Department,
^
Washington, D. C.^^
Besides the information contained in the official answers to the above
questions, the Bureau draws freely from other sources, especially printed
documents—some official, others not—courteously transmitted to the
Bureau by foreign governments. We have this year to express our

CHINA.
I t is reported that silver coins,, consisting of dollars of the fineness
of .900, and half-dollars, and 20, 10, and 5 cent silver pieces of a lower
grade of fineness were struck at the mint at Canton during the year
1890.
According to the assays of the coins, i^ublished in the report of the
Dei3uty Master of the Eoyal Mint, London, the degrees of fineness were:
for the dollar, 884.2; half-dollar, 848.2; and of the smaller denominations
807.3, 808, and 811.1, respectively, showing that the coins differ very
largely in fineness from standard, and the Aveights ofthe coins are said
to be fairly correct.
WORK OF T H E BUREAU OF T H E MINT.
The work of the Bureau of the Mint during the last fiscal year was
well and faithfully performed.
Owing very largely to the importance which coinage and currency
questions have assumed in national legislation, the work ofthe Bureau
has been iinusuaUy heavy, requiring, in addition to the regular work,
the compilation of a vast amount of statistical matter.
All of this work has been cheepfully met and promptly performed by
the small clerical force at my disposal without any increase offeree.
I am, very respectfally, yours,
EDWARD O. LEECH,
Director of the Minto
Hon. C H A R L E S F O S T E R ,

S I R : I liave tlie lonor to submit for the consideration of Congress^
in compliance with the provisions of section 333 of the Eevised Statutes
of the United States, the twenty-ninth annual report of the Comptroller
of the Currency.
Theyear covered by this report ended October 31, 1891, During
"the larger part of this period severe depression was experienced iu all
sections of the country, and business in its various forms was contracted in volume and unsatisfactory in results.
A t the opening of the report j^ear the stringency which characterized
the, money market during the autumn of 1890 was at its height, its
most disastrous effects having been felt during the month of November.
A period of liquidation then set in which had hardly spent its force
when the bountiful harvest of 1891 brought much needed relief.
l^otwithstanding the unfavorable conditionsdndicated, 193 new banks
were organized during the year, located in 41 States and Territories, and
opbssessing an aggregate capital of $20,700,000. The accessions are
numerically in excess of the average and have been exceeded in only
seven out of the twenty-nine years during which the system has been in
operation. During this twelvemonth 41 banks went into voluntary
liquidation and 25 became insolvent, leaving as a net gain for the report
year 127 associations, with a capital of $12,553,000, which is, as to number of banks, precisely the net average yearly increase during the life
of the system.
The number of .banks now in operation is greater than at any former
period. There has been a satisfactory increase in the totals of capital
stock, surplus fund, and undivided profits, and this is also true of dejDosits, loans and discounts.
The number of banks in existence October 31, 1891, was 3,694, having in capital stock $684,755,865- bonds deposited to secure circulation,
$152,113,850; bank notes outstanding, $171,368,948, including'$35,430,721 representing lawful money deposited to redeem, circulation still
outstanding. The amount of circulation secured °by the pledge of
United States bonds has increased during the year $11,795,101,

It will be observed that Texas and Pennsylvania still stand at the
head of the list, as they have during the past two years, with 17 new
associations in each, Texas, however, having the larger capital. Following these come the States of Washington, Illinois, and Iowa with
11 banks each, and Nebraska and New York with 10 each. Kansas
shows 9 new associations and ranks next to New York. It will be observed that notwithstanding the fatality attending banking, operations
in Kansas and Nebraska'these States take prominent places in point ot
new organizations.
Of the associations entering the system during the year, 99, or slightly
more than one-half in number, are located west of the.Mississippi Eiver
and 59 in the Southern States.
Of the total number of banks in ox3eration Pennsylvania has the greatest number of associations, Massachusetts the greatest aggregate capital,
and NewYork leads in amount of deposits.
The accessions to the system are widely distributed, both old and
new States being prominent in the list. It will be noticed, however,
that in proportion to population the increase is greater in the newer
States west of the Mississippi Eiver.
The follomng table exhibits the number of banks organized, failed,
and in voluntary liquidation, and the net increase numerically each year

•
t T h e total authorized capital stock on October 31 was $684,755,865; the paid-in capital,$683,248,175,
including the capital stock of liquidating and insolvent banks which have not deposited lawful money
for the retirement of their circulating notes.
The most notable feature of the foregoing table is the large number
of associations which have become insolvent during the year. They
aggregate 25 banks, with a capital of $3,662,000. The year 1873, however, appears to have been the most disastrous in point of capital, as
during that period the failure of 11 banks, with a capital of $3,825,000,
is recorded. The next in point of importance was 1877, when ten failures occurred, representing a capital of $3,344,000.
If we consider the relative proportions existing between the liabilities
of failed and active banks during various periods, it will be found that
seven years have been more disastrous than the one just closed, to wit:
1867, 1872, 1873. 1877, 1878, 1882, and 1884. The liabilities of banks
closed on account of insolvency in each of these seven years constitutes
a larger percentage of the total liabilities of aU .existing banks than
is shown by the record of the year covered by this report.
Of the 25 failed banks, having an aggregate capital of $3,662,000,
13, representing $1,137,000 of capital, were located in Kansas and Nebraska.
The larger part of the failures in these two States were attributable
to four successive crop failures, and seem' to be the result of unavoidable misfortunes rather than the lack of honest and efficient manage^

ment. In many cases, however, the unfavorable conditions were greatly
aggravated by the collapse of unwise speculation in real estate, more
especially in city and suburban property.
The Comptroller endeavored by correspondence with various State
officers, receivers, and assignees to ascertain the number of failures of
banks and bankers other than national during the past twelve months,
but was unable to thus secure data upon which rehance could be
placed. He has been supplied, however, through the courtesy of a commercial agency,* with a fist of failures in the United States of bankers,
brokers, trust companies, and savings banks for the year ended June
30,1891. These number in aH 117 institutions, having liabilities estimated at $38,271,611, and assets valued at $20,794,092.
No reliable data in relation to the losses to creditors by reason of the
failure of banks other than national for recent years is accessible. In
order that a comparison may be made between the comparative safety ^
of national and State systems I am led to quote from the report of Hon,
John Jay Knox, then OomptroUer^ of the Currency, for the year 1879, where the subject is discussed. He says:
There is no means of definitely determining t h e amount of losses sustained through
t h e failures of banks operating under systems in vogue during the earlier periods of
t h e history of this country. The losses'under those systems^ both to the noteholders,
to whom there can Ibe no loss under t h e national system, and to their general creditors and shareholders, are known to have been large. The loss to noteholders alone
is estimated to have been 5 per cent annually upon the total amount of circulation
outstanding. In EllioVs Funding System, on page 1176, it is stated t h a t fifty-five
banks with an aggregate capital of $^7,036,265 and circulation of $23,577,752, failed in
1841. The total bank capital of tha^ year is stated by the same authority to have
been $317,642,692, and the circulation at $121,665,198; and it is also stated in t h e same
connection t h a t in nearly every instance the entire, capital o f t h e banks which failed
was lost.
Numerous failures of private banking firms have occurred in this country w i t h i n
the last six years, and the losses consequent upon three or four of them are equal to
t h e total losses which have occurred under t h e national system.
For the purpose of comparing t h e losses to creditors of insolvent national banks
with those sustained by t h e creditors of insolvent banks other t h a n national, much
pains have been taken by the Comptroller to obtain as reliable and complete statistics as possible relating to the failures of State and savings banks and private bankers in the difierent States during ethe three years ending J a n u a r y 1,1879. The results
ofhis labors in this direction are to be found in the following t a b l e :

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The amount of claims of five banks in Missouri, one in Kansas, and two in Nebraska could not be obtained.
.
In the foregoing table it has been found impossible to give the capital, or t h e exact amount of di^T.dends paid to creditors, the liabilities and the losses only having
been ascertained with any degree of accuracy. The differences between the two
items last named represent the amount which it is assumed will eventually be paid
to creditors. The average annual loss sustained by creditors during the past sixteen
years by the insolvency of national banks throughout the United States has been
$390,0i2, and t h a t occasioned by the failures of banks other t h a n national, as shown
by the incomplete data obtaiued by the Comptroller, has for the last three years been
not less t h a n $10,872,220.
In the States of Ohio and Illinois alone the losses during the last three years,
through the failure of State, savings, and private banks and bankers, aggregated
$8,039,102, of which $1,916,050 were in Ohio, and $6,123,052 in Illinois. The total loss
in these two States is greater by $1,798,913 than t h e total loss to creditors by all t h e
national bank failures which have ever occurred.
The failures for the current year have been numerous, many having
• been characterized by gross mismanagement and some by criminality
of an aggravated character, yet nothing has been developed which indicates that the confidence in national banks on the part of the general
public, which is the outgrowth qf an experience of twenty-nine years,
has been ill founded.
I t is idle to suppose that absolute immunity from failure can be secured by the operation of any law which fails to provide for absolute and
complete governmental guaranty." That failures will be far more numerous during some years than others is to be expected. This is true of every
variety of business activity. The banks of the country are mere agencies through which the commercial and business operations of the people are conducted, and of necessity the losses which attend these operations are reflected in the profit and loss accounts of these agencies. ^ The
net earnings of the banks afford a good criterion for judging as to the
measure of success which has attended the business operations of their
customers.
I t is a well-known fact that periods of business activity and depression foUow each other at reasonably weU-defined intervals, and that no
means have been found for preventing the regular recurrence of what
were under other conditions, known as years of panic. There is no
doubt that the introduction of the national banking system and a
well-secured currency of uniform and certain value, has served to greatly
modify the severity of these periodical visitations and convert what
were formerly panics into more or less severe depressions. The latter
condition we have just experienced, and it is not remarkable that during the past twelve months while the country was suffering from a
• monetary stringency which has seriously affected the entire commercial
world, we should have witnessed the failure of 25 banks out of a total
of 3,694.
That the law under which these associations operate is absolutely
perfect no one well informed will claim, but that it'has afforded greater
security to its depositors and creditors than any other system is indisputable.
Since the foundation of the system 4,648 associations have been organized, of which 164 have become insolvent, equal to about 3^ per cent
for a period of twent;f-nine years. Of this number the affairs of 102 have
been finally settled, representing $28,544,992 of proved claims, upon
which the claimants have received on an. average 74.17 per cent, constituting a net loss to depositors of $7,372,036. The affairs of 62 banks are
still unsettled, representing claims proved to the amount of $29,247,036^
on which have been paid "$17,456,167, leaving assets estimated at
323
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
$3,702,925 yet to be distributed, which would represent a loss to creditors
of $8,087,944.
I t will be observed that losses to creditors of national banks during
the twenty-nine years of the existence of the system, taking the amounts
ascertained and the amounts estimated, aggregate $15,459,980, or an
average of $533,103 per annum during the life of the system.
The average amount of liabilities of all the banks since 1863 approximates $1,055,434,022, indicating that the annual average loss to the
creditors of national banks for the period of twenty-nine years has been
only one-twentieth of 1 per cent.
In order to illustrate the increasing economy and efficiency which
has characterized the administration of insolvent banks by the Bureau,
the following table has been prepared, which covers all insolvent
associations whose affairs have been finally closed:

I t wiU be observed that the banks have been classified into semidecades, having regard to the date of insolvency. The conspicuous relative reduction in legal expenses is worthy of remark. The first semidecade shows an average disbursement for legal expenses of $4.03 on
each $100 collected, while, the same item during tlie last semi-decade is
stated at only 81 cents.
The average expenses to each $100 of collections for receivers' salaries and all other expenses decreased from $9.13 during the first semidecade to $3.27 during the last. Taking into account all the expenses
of administration, we find that the cost per $100 during the last period
is $4.08, as against $13.16 during the first. A corresponding increase
in the percentage of dividends paid to the creditors of insolvent banks
is also to be noted.
•
During the first period, claimants received on the average 62.84 per
cent; during the last period 90.65 per cent, and for the entire life of
the system 74.17 per cent.
The increase in dividends and decrease in expenses go hand in
hand. The increase in rate per cent paid to creditors Is due in part
to greater efficiency and economy in conducting the liquidations, and
partly to the fact that recent failnres are less disastrous than in the
earlier years of the system. These results indicate that governmental
supervision is growing more effective as new and improved methods
are evolved from experience. Certainly no other system of liquidating
insolvent banks has ever proved so effective and economical,' the record
of the past five years showing average dividends to creditors of 90.65 per
cent, and average expenses of only 4.08 per cent is in both respects
believed to be without a parallel.

AMENDMENTS TO PRESENT LAWo
The Comptroller desires to repeat in substance the recommendations
contained in his report for 1890.
In his opinion the present law should be so amended as to provide: ^
(1) That no association shaU be required to maintain a bond deposit
of more than $1,000 to secure circulation.
(2) That every association may issue circulating notes equal to the
par value of the bonds so depositedo
(3) That the monthly withdrawal of bonds pledged to secure such
notes shall not exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate.
(4) That the semi-annual duty on circulation be so reduced as to
equal one-fourth of 1 per cent per annum.
These recommendations are made upon the supposition that Congress
will not favorabljr consider measures looking to any considerable increase of circulation through further note issues by national banks.
While the Comptroller is of the opinion that bank notes possess certain
qualities not found in any form of governmental issues, but which are necessary to a perfect circulating medium, he is, nevertheless, aware that
the present is not an opportune time for presenting his views upon that
subject. He deems it wise to accept the situation, so far as note issues
are concerned, and ask for such legislation as will relieve national banks
so far as possible from the enforced and unremunerative issue of circulating notes, so that they may be unembarrassed in their efforts to
faithfully serve the public as banks of discount and deposit.
Inasmuch as the secia^ed circulation of national banks has increased
$11,795,101 during the report year and is now much above the present
minimum requirement^ no rapid contraction of circulation need be
apprehended.
The limitation provided in the third proposition would in any event
prevent a retirement beyond $3,000,000 per month. Such reduction
as might otherwise take place would be neutralized for five months at
least by the immediate additional issue of $15,211,385 under the second
proposition.
The reduction of-the semi-annual duty is both just and expedient.
No adequate reason can be given for the taxation of a valueless and
unwelcome franchise for the purpose of swelling redundant revenues.
MONETARY STRINaENCY OF 1890o
The previous report year, which ended E'ovember 1,1890, showed a
comparatively smaU number of failures of national banking associations. Up to Midsummer of 1890 that year had been one of more than
average business activity. I t was, however, apparent in the early
Spring, to those who were most observant of passing events, that unfavorable conditions existed, the evil effects of which would appear in the
near fnture. This aros"e from consideration of the fact that agricultural
interests were in an unsatisfactory condition, and also that overtrading
and unhealthful expansion were everywhere apparent. During the
year the building of railroads had been prosecuted with unusual vigor,
making necessary the placing of unusually large lines of securities.
Immense sums heretofore available as loanable capital in the Eew
England and Middle States had taken a fixed form by reason of investments in the Mississippi Valley and upon the Pacific coast in city and
suburban property, in loans represented by farni niortgageSj and in the
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
325
stocks and bonds of unnumbered corporations organized for the pur:
pose of conducting various kinds of manufacturing operations, and supplying water, light, and rapid transit to the inhabitants of the many
rapidly growing cities and viUages in the. regions named. Not only
did these enterprises attract capital from the Atlantic States, but
EngHsh investors brought to this country vast sums for the purpose of
grouping together and recapitalizing corporations engaged in manufacturing, industrial, and commercial pursuits.
This unexampled movement of capital toward the West not only divested the Atlantic States in a large degree of the loanable funds heretofore available for the relief of those engaged there in manufacturing
and in business in its various forms, but it also had its effect upon the
West in unduly stimulating speculative operations in real estate and
laying the groundwork for the fature collapse in prices which it was
apparent must follow whenever the flow of money toward the field of
these operations should for any cause be greatly diminished or entirely
arrested.
The various banking institutions located in the region of country
affected by the speculative spirit thus incited becaine necessarily more
or less involved in the operations of their local customers. They found
themselves early in the Summer of 1890 carrying large lines of loans
representing investments in various forms of corporate enterprises,
which were in a large degree in untried fields and dependent for success
upon the rapid growth of towns and cities, yet unrealized. The banks
of the country were th'erefore in an unduly extended condition upon
the approach of Midsummer, and dependent in many cases upon rediscounts with their correspondents in the reserve cities in-order to
enable them to carry the heavy lines with which they were burdened.
While in this condition the transfer of funds to this country from England and the Continent became at first greatly reduced in volume, and
finally ceased. Not only was the supply of fresh funds from this source
cut off, but it was discovered that during the late Spring and early
Summer inonths, as weU as later on, vast amounts of American securities held abroad were forced upon the New York market by European
holders for the purpose of preparing for a collapse which was expected
to result from similar conditions of undue expansion existing abroad.
The Continental countries had already passed through a period of liquidation and loss consequent upon the failure of the Panama Canal CoiJipany and the French Copper Syndicate. England, by reasort of unusually large investments in all parts of the world, and especially in the
Argentine Eepublic, was gradually but surely approaching an excej)tionally severe monetary stringency.
As an evidence of this and the consequent disposition to increase the
stock of gold there held, in order to strengthen their cash resources, it
is noted that during the months of June, July, and August of last year
43he net exportation from the United States of gold coin and bullion exceeded $14,000,000, and for the period extendingfrom January 1,1890, to
August 31,1891, the net exportations of gold amounted to $75,405,613.
W M e these causes were operating to prevent the necessary rehef from
reaching us from Europe, the demands upon the banks in New York
and other large reserve cities rapidly increased, producing a reduction
in the amount of deposits and an increase in the amounts loaned to and
rediscounted for the interior banks.
The gross deposits of forty-six national banks in the city of New York
show a falling off of $44,831,356 between the 28th of February and 17th

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
of May, 1890; $13,519,527 of this representing a reduction in balances
due to interior banks and those located in other reserve cities, while
the reduction in loans and discounts was less than $10,000,000, The
New York banks, however, were enabled to so strengthen their positions during the months of June and July tha.t the marked stringency
was delayed untU August. I t culminated about the middle of November, when the failure of a leading firm of brokers, the embarrassment of
one large State bank, and the failure of another occurred in New York,
These events were simultaneous with the announcement of the embarrassment ofthe Baring Brothers, of London, and the fact that a syndicate had been formed, hea&ed by the Bank of England, through whose
agency Baring Brothers' obligations were guaranteed to the extent of
about $75,000,000.
•
•
The unsatisfactory condition of monetary affairs in England, and the
desire to be prepared for the effect of the announcement of the embarrassment of the Baring Brothers, induced the Bank of England to
borrow £3,000,000 in gold from the Bank of France, in addition to
£1,500,000 received, from Eussia upon sale of treasury bonds. This
extraordinary transaction is an evidence of the serious character of
the monetary stringency in England, aggravated by the unsatisfactory
conditions apparent in almost every civilized country where English
capital has heretofore found investment.
Among the unfavorable conditions existing in our own country, in
addition to the undue expansion and resulting speculative investments
which have been heretofore noted, should be mentioned the greatly reduced yield last year of wheat, oats, and corn, and the low prices which
prevailed for the same. I t is also to be observed that the importation
of foreign commodities in 1890 exceeded in value that of any previous
year. This was due, to some extent, to the passage of the new tariff
act, which was made to take effeqt on the 6th of October, 1890, This
undoubtedly greatly stimulated importations, in order that their arrival
prior to the date mentioned might enable them to escape the higher
rate of duty supposed to be imposed by the new act.
To relieve this severe monetary stringency the Secretary of the
Treasury increased his purchase of United States bonds to such an extent as to almost entirely exhaust the available surplus in the Treasury.
During the three and one-third months from July 19 to November 1,
1890, over $99,000,000 were disbursed in payment for United States
bonds and interest thereon. I t is apparent, however, that while the
relief afforded was timely and the sums disbursed very large, the unfavorable and threatening conditions were caused to a greater degree
by want of confidence and a curtailment of credits than by lack of circulating medium. That this large disbursement had the effect of allaying excitement and promoting a return of confidence on the part of the
general public is no doubt true.
As has been noted, the monetary stringency culminated on the 15th
of November, 1890, and its effects within thirty days thereafter had to a
considerable extent passed away, so far as could be observed in the
larger cities. Its effect upon the country at large, however, stiU continued. Inability to place securities and to borrow money had arrested
the opea*ations of a great multitude of corporations scattered all over the
country^ and insolvency and failure had in a large number of cases ensuedo Where failure did not take place new work was stopped, all
credits were curtailed, and business in its different forms became
greatly depressed. The growth of cities and villages was in many

' S2t
cases arrested, and the prices of city property, especially of a suburban
character, became greatly reduced.
Corporations newly organized, with insufficient capital and inexperienced management, generally became insolvent, and speculative operations of every kind and character were prostrated. Liquidation took
place in all branches of business, resulting in the failure and extinction
of a large number of business enterprises which were never entitled to
credit and in the curtailment of the operations of many possessing ample capital and skillful management,
The process of liquidation above referred to did not end with the
monetary stringency in December, 1890, but has continued since that
date, and its influences are still felt and its effects observed. The subject is here discussed because of its intimate connection with the bank
failures of 1891.
CLEARINa-HOUSE LOAN CERTIFICATES.
The effect of a general monetary stringency is felt first and most
seriously by banks located in the larger of the reserve cities. Whenever financial affairs are in a normal condition the surplus funds of the
local banks find their way to the .vaults of their correspondent banks
located in the great centers of business activity. This is undoubtedly
due in part to the fact that these deposits may be made available
for lawful money reserve and that a small rate of interest is, as a rule,
paid upon bank balances by associations in the larger cities, and
to the further fact that the maintenance of a good balance with
their city correspondents strengthens the claim of the interior banks
upon the former for rediscounts when the temporary condition of
redundancy passes away and the increased demand for money is
greater than the interior banks from their resources can conveniently
supply.
Thus it results that the wants of a continent in case of general depression are at last brought through various channels of business
activity, by way of withdrawals or loans, to the bankers of the great
metropolitan cities for relief, and they are presented in such a form, in
many cases, as to preclude the possibility of refasal, if general bankruptcy is to be avoided.
During the period of the stringency above discussed the cities of
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston were subjected to the most pressing demands, and after very careful consideration it was decided by
the associated banks that the exigency made necessary a resort to the
issuing of clearing-house loan certificates, for the purpose of settling
clearing-house balances. This expedient had been successfully resorted
to during the panics of 1873 and 1884.
A t a meeting of the New York Clearing-House Association on the
11th day of November, 1890, the foUowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
^ Resolved, T h a t a committee of five be appointed by, the chair, of which t h e
chairman shall be one, to receive from banks members of the association bills receivable and other securities, to be approved by said committee, who shall be authorized to issue therefor, to such depositing banks, loan certificates bearing inter-^
est at 6 per cent per annum, and in addition thereto a commission of one-quarter of
1 cent for every thirty days such certificates shall remain unpaid, and such loan
certificates shall not be in excess of 75 per cent of the market value of the securities of bills receivable so deposited, and such certificates shall be received aaid paid
in settlement of balances a t the cleariui? house.

When a bank applied for and received loan certificates it was required to deposit the necessary securities and to also execute and deliver
an obhgation, of which the following is a copy:
The —
Bank has this day received of,
, loan committee of the Boston
Clearing-House Association loan certificates issued by said committee in pursuance
of a vote of said association, passed November 17, 1890, to the amount of
-thousand dollars, and has deposited with said committee the securities, a statement
whereof is hereto annexed, and said
Bank receives said loan certificates on the terms set forth in said vote, and agrees to pay the amount of said certificates, with interest thereon, as provided in said vote.
^ Under the operation of the resolution of authority granted by the
clearing-house coinmittee, as above noted, loan certificates were first
issued on November 19,1890, and the last were is'sued on December 6,
1890. On the latter date the issue reached its maximum of $5,065,000.
The last of the issue was retired on January 6, 1891.
The Clearing-House Association of PhUadelphia took action on November 18, 1890, at which time, at a meeting of the Clearing-House
Association, the following resolution was adopted:
Besolved, That, in accordance with resolution of September 24, 1873, as amended
October 18, 1873, the clearing-house committee wiU issue loan certificates to banks
applying and receive them in payment of balances.
The resolution of September 24,1873, as amended October 18, 1873,
reads as follows:

F o r t h e purpose of enabling t h e banks, members o f t h e Philadelphia ClearingHouse Association, to aff'ord proper assistance to the mercantile and manufacturing
community, and also to facilitate the inter-bank settlements resulting from their
daily exchanges, we, the undersigned, do bind ourselves by the following agreement on t h e p a r t of our respective banks, viz: ^
First. That the clearing-house committee be, and they are hereby, authorized
to issue to any bank member of the association loan certificates bearing 6 per cent
interest on the deposits of bills receivable and other securities to such an amount
and to such percentage thereof as may in their judgment be advisable.
These certificates m a y b e used in settlement of balances at the clearinghouse,
and they shall be received by creditor banks in the same proportion as they bear to
the aggregate amount of t h e debtor balances paid at t h e clearing house. The
interest t h a t may accrue upon these.certificates shall be apportioned monthly among •

I t wiU be observed that the original agreement under which the committee proceeded in this case was adopted duriag the panic of 1873
and after that subsided no farther action was had under it until November, 1890, but-the machinery was kept standing, during the whole intervening period ready for immediate use whenever required.
The clearing-house coinmittee having, by the agreement aforesaid,
been authorized to issue loan certificates resolved, on November 5,1890,
to exercise this power, whereupon the banks desiring to take out loan
. certificates were required to adopt a resolution empowering the hypothecation of securities, under which the issue of loan certificates, signed
by not less than three members of the committee, was commenced on
November 19, 1890, and ceased on May 22, 1891, the total issue being
$9,655,000, The maximum -issue, $8,870,000, was reached on January
9. The certificates have all been retired excepting $170^000 issued to

DOMESTIC EXCHANGES.
In his annual report for 1890 the Comptroller published certain data
in relation tb domestic exchanges in. the United States, which exhibited
the amounts of drafts drawn during the year fended June 30, 1890, (1)
upon national and otlier banks ih the cities of New York, Chicago, and
St. Louis, separately stated^ (2) upon banks located in other reserve
cities, and (3) upon all other banks.
Out of the 3,438 national banks in operation on the 30th day of Jnne,
1890, 3,329 famished the desired information. While the facts thus
elicited attracted wide attention and proved valuable as illustrating
the magnitude of the transactions Uquidated through transfers of bank
credits, it feU short of aU that might be desired from the fact that drafts
drawn upon reserve cities other than New York, Chicago, and St. Louis
were not separately stated but were given in the aggregate only.
I t was thought desirable to again call for this information for the
purpose of instituting comparisons as between the operations of the
two years, and also for the purpose of ascertaining the magnitude of
the transactions with each of the reserve cities, to the end that simUar
calls following this at suitable intervals might afford the means of ascertaining the relative growth of the banking operations of the several Teserve cities of the United States. For this purpose circular letters were addressed to each active bank in the system, and replies were
received from 3,637, that being the number in operation on the .30th
day of June, 1891, exclusive of 22 associations that drew no exchange.
This cheerful cooperation on the part of every bank in the system is
worthy of special commendation, as last year 109 banks faUed to make
the necessary report.
I
o In comparisons made between the operations ofthe year ended June
30,1890, and the year ended June 30, 1891, it will be remembered that
the former year covered thp operations of 3,329 banks, and the latter
year 3,637 banks. The total amount of drafts drawn by these 3,637
associations during the year ended June 30,1891, was $12,782,212,495.
We find thatof this amount there was drawn on New York $7,836,208,250,
on Chicago $1,254,693,941, on St. Louis $237,908,010, and on other
reserve cities ^3,101,005,735, and on all other banks and bankers
$352,396,559.
Among the other reserve cities Boston leads with $1,492,266,242,
followed by Philadelphia with $541,333,463.
From this statement it appears that of the* total sum 61.31 per cent
was drawn on banks in the city of New York 5 9.82 per cent on Chicago;
1.86 per cent on St. Louis; 11.61 per cent on Boston, and 4.24 per cent
on Philadelphia. The total sum drawn upon the reserve cities, excepting New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, was 24.25 ^ev cent and 2.76 per
cent on banks.located elsewhere.

In order to facilitate a comx3arison between the operations of the year
ended June 30,1890, and those of the year ended June 30,1891, the
totals and percentages for the former year are included in the table.
I t will be observed that in the total amount of drafts drawn there has
been an increase in each of the three central reserve cities and in the
amounts drawn upon all other reserve cities, but that the total of drafts
drawp. upon all other banks has fallen off to a marked degree.
I t wiU be noticed that the grand aggregate for all banks shows an
increase of $1,231,314,240, being slightly in excess of 11 per cent. So
far as the percentages show the relative importance of the several
reserve cities the changes do not appear important. New York City,
relatively, has slightly fallen off'while Chicago and St. Louis each show
a slight increase iniDercentages. Other reserve cities have increased
from 21.88 to 24.25 per cent, indicating the growing importance of the
business tributary to the inland cities.

by aU the national banks, classified by States and arranged in the order
of the total amounts drawn, further subdivided so as to show the operations of the banks in reserve cities and other banks separately during
the year ended June 30,1891, to which has been added a column giving
corresponding totals for the previous year.

Tables are given in the Appendix,* pp. 220, sbowing (1) the amounts
of drafts drawn by national banking associations located in the reserve
cities, upon all banks in each reserve city; (2) similar information in
respect to banks outside of reserve cities; and (3) a tabular statement
showing by geographical divisions the amount drawn by national banking associations in each State, reserve city, and geographical division,
upon each reserve city.
JNTotwithstanding that the total amount of drafts drawn by the national banks of the United States during the year ended June 30,1891,
shows a satisfactory increase over the operations of the year immediately preceding that under consideration, it should be remembered that
the year ended June 30,1891, has been one of great depression on account of the monetary stringency which prevailed for the greater part of
that period, and the consequent liquidations which have been in progress. While by far the larger part of the banking business is conducted
through associations belonging to the national system, it is necessary to
take into consideration the operations of banks other than national in
order to arrive at a proper estimate of the magnitude of the business
liquidated through the agency of the banking institutions of the country.
In the collection of statistics required b y t h e statute the Comptroller
has this year received reports from 4,342 corporations or firms other
than national banks which do a commercial banking business, in whole
or in part. Of these 2,572 are State banks, 171 loan and trust companies, 364 are savings banks having capital stock, and 1,235 are private bankers. These represent a capital of $356,749,315. If the
domestic exchange drawn by these banking institutions bears the same
relation to their capital stock as in the case of national banks,* it will
be found that the amount of drafts drawn by banks and bankers other
than national will amount to $6,743,157,040.
In order td arrive at the grand total of domestic exchange drawn by
all the banks»and bankers of the United States the following statement

REPORT ON THE FINANCESo
As there are many banks .other than national that do not report to
the Comptroller of the Currency, with regard to which no statistics
are accessible, it is probable that the amount estimated as drawn by
these institutions in the above table is understated.
The magnitude ofthe operations thus indicated illustrates how indispensable banks are to the safe and economical conduct of the busiaess
of the country. This immense total of nearly $20,000,000,000 represents
simply the net balances between various localities adjusted through
the agency of banks, and bears a very small proportion to the gross
transactions which are taking place between the banks and their customers. Some idea can be formed ofthe magnitude.of the total transactions of national banks by consideration of the fact that on the first
day of July, 1890, the receipts by 3,364 national banks of the United
States aggregated $421,824,726. If we take $421,000,000 as the average daily transactions of the national banks, and multiply this by 307
as the number of busiaess days in the year, it will be found that the
total receipts of these banks for a single year would amount to
$129,247,000,000, or a sum greatly in excess of the estimated value ot
all the real and personal property of Great Britain and the United
States combined.
When we come to realize with what economy and safety this immense
business is transacted the importAice of perpetuating and perfecting
the national banking system can not fail to command attention.
In another part of this report will be found a statement of the average annual losses by reason of the failure of national banks. When
tins comparatively smaU loss is placed against the immense transactions which have taken place through these agencies the conspicuous
fidelity of the associations constituting the system must be recognized
by every impartial observer.
EXAMINATIONS.
The national-bank act was perfected with great care, and in its provisions were embodied all those salutary restraints which previous legislation and the banking experience of the world for many centuries
had demonstrated to be conducive to the safe and successful conduct
of banks organized for commercial business. The wisdom of those who
were responsible for its preparation has been vindicated by the unexampled success which has attended banks organized under it during
the past twenty-nine years. No system has ever issued notes circulating at par over so wide an area of country, absolutely without loss to
holders; nor has any other afiorded such complete security to depositors and creditors.
The administration of this act was committed to a Bureau of which
the Comptroller of the Currency is the chief officer, and all the provisions incident to the organization, supervision, and closing of associatibns are designed to be executed through the operation of the agency
so created. The duties of the Comptroller of the Currency, as the
chief executive officer, are set fol?th with great clearnesiS and particularity. So far as the proceedings incident to the orgaiiization of new
associations are concerned, up tp and including the certificate authorizing them to begin business, they are so conducted as to make it possible
for the Comptroller to personally supervise the details and see that the
law is obeyed.
I t is impossible, however, for him to personally visit the various associations after organization is completed and ascertain for himself that

339
the, conduct of their aflairs is in every particular in conformity with
law. His information in relation to matters incident to the internal
management of a bank reaches him through two channels. First,
through what are known as ^ reports of condition,'' which are required
^
to be made by each association, upon call of the Comptroller, for some
past date, at least five times a year, and, secondly, through reports
made by nationalbank examiners. Eeports of. condition are made
upon the oath or affirmation of the president or cashier, attested by at
least three directors, and are required to be published in some newspaper issued in the locality where the bank is situated.
The report prepared in these cases is substantially a trial balance
from the general ledger, under such classifications as the Comptroller
directs, showing in detail the entire resources of the association upon
the one hand, and its entire liabilities upon the other. If correctly and
honestly made, these published reports afford to the shareholders and
creditors of the association an opportunity to form a reasonably ^correct
judgment as to its solvency, its earnings, and the value of its shares.
Certain schedules accompany these reports, which are designed to
disclose such facts as wiU indicate whether or not any provision of
the national-bank act has been violated. This system of reports,
especially so far as it applies to banks under honest management, is no"
doubt to a certain degree effective in preventing unwise and unlawful
acts on the part of those directly charged with the management.
As severe penalties are imposed upon any officer or employe who
makes or aids or abets others in making any false, report or statement
of the association with intent to defraud or deceive, even those whose
honesty may be brought in question are constrained through fear to
make truthful reports. I t sometimes occurs, however, that banks fall
under the management of those who are utterly wanting in integrity
and are undeterred by the penalties of the law. Occasionally the
active officers of the bank enter into such collusion as renders it comparatively safe, in their opinion, to make reports which are designed
to cover up unlawful practices, and to either overstate the value of the
bank's resources, or understate its liabilities, so that the published report thus made serves to grossly deceive those for whose benefit the
IDublication has been wisely ordered.
As banks under honest management are usually conducted in obedience to law, it is clear that the value of governmental supervision is determined by the success it may achieve in ascertaining facts hidden from
view by bank managers whose purpose it is to keep from thek:nowledge
of the Comptroller conditions which might involve impairment of capital,
insolvency, or criminality. The agency provided by law for ascertaining with greater certainty the condition of these associations is through
the periodical visits of examiners appointed for the purpose.
The authority for the appointment of national-bank examiners is
found in section 5240 of the Kevised Statutes of the United States,
wherein jt is provided that—
The Comptroller, w i t h t h e approval of the Secretary: of the Treasury, shall, as
often as shall be deemed necessary qr proper, appoint a suitable person or persons
to make an examination of the affairs of every b a n k i n g association, who shall have
poAver to make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the association, and,
in doing so, to examine any of the officers and agents thereof on oath; and shall
make a full and detailed report of the condition of the association to the Comptroller.
This brief paragraph contains the only pro^dsion of law for the appointment of national-bank examiners, and is the only place where
340
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
his rights, powers, and duties are set fortho I t is apparent that
these examiners were to be the confidential agents of the Comptroller,
and as such to have such duties and to exercise such powers, within
the law, as the Comptroller might from time to time direct. .
', As has been said, these examiners have always been regarded as the
confidential agents of the Comptroller, and the various communications
and reports transmitted by them to him have always been considered
as confidential and privilegedo
The relations existing between the Comptroller and his examiners
is of such a character, that they must necessarily possess his'entire
confidence. Any information which might lead him to entertain a reasonable doubt as to the skiU or integrity of an examiner would make
it- his duty to iinmediately suspend him, even though the information
might be of such a character as could not be substantiated by competent proof, or of such a confidential nature as would make it necessary for the Comptroller to withhold the character of the charges from
the examiner himself. The Comptroller would be derehct in duty who •
would continue to employ the services of an examiner'who had so conducted himself as to impair that complete confidence which must from
the necessities of the case exist on the part of his superior officer.
• Inasmuch as the original purpose of those who framed the nationalbank act was to make a market for the securities of the United States,
to provide notes for circulation, and to create fiscal agencies for the
service of the C-overnment, it is fair to presume that they had in view
such an examination as would enable the Comptroller to ascertain
whether or not the various provisions of law had been complied'with,
and to see that the interests of the Government were protected, so far
as they were involved in deposits of public moneys or the issuing of cir. culating notes.
Among other requirements the national-bank act provides that the
capital stock of an association shall be fully paid in cash, and that each
director shall be a citizen of the United States and the bona fide owner
of at least ten shares ofthe capital stock; that loans shall be made only
on personal security; that real estate, when lawfally held, shall be disposed of within the period of five years; that a list of shareholders shall
becorrectly prepared and.kept subject to the inspection of creditors
and shareholders; that a reserve of lawful money shall be held' against
deposits; that dividends shaU not be made until earned; that'loans to
any one person, corporation, or firm shall not exceed in amount 10 per
cent of the capital paid in; that the liabilities of the association under
section 5202 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States shall not exceed the amount of its capital stock actually paid in; that checks shall
not be certified in excess of the drawer's deposit, and that loans shall
not be made while the lawful money reserve is deficient.
' I t would seem to be the duty'of an examiner in making an official
visit to an association to ascertain whether or hot these requirements
had been fally compMed with and to report any disobedience of these
provisions of law brought to Ms attention. He is also exgected upon
occasion to ascertain and report to the Comptroller as to whether or
' not the latter can properly approve a proposed increase or reduction of
capital, and as to the propriety of permitting an association desiring to
do so to extend its corporate existence or go into voluntary liquidation.
Inasmuch as the Comptroller is authorized to require any association
whose capital becomes impaired to pay the deficiency by assessment
upon its shareholders and to appoint a receiver to close up its business
in case it fails to make good its capital within three months after being
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
'
341
notified so to do, and inasmuch as the Comptroller is ftirther authorized
to appoint a receiver for any association which he shall become satisfied
is insolvent, it would appear to be the duty of an examiner to not only
ascertain but verify the liabilities and resources of an association and
make such an estimate of the value of the latter as wiU enable the
Comptroller upon his report to determine with reasonable certainty
whether or not impairment of capitalor insolvency exists.
So far as can be deduced fr'om the provisions of the act under which
national-banking associations are organized and operated, an examin- ^
er's duties are above substantially set forth. In the letter of instructions addressed to examiners, and upon the blank reports furnished
for their use are found directions covering the requirements of the law
as above expressed. Much, however, must be left to the discretion and
intelligence ofthe examiner himself. 'No cast-iron rules, covering minute
details, can be issued to examiners as a class, for the reason that what
would be practicable, proper, and necessary in the case of a small bank
located in some obscure hamlet, would not be applicable in the case of
a large association in a central reserve city.
As a rule examiners find the greatest difficulty in so directing their
efforts as to ascertain whether or not impairment or insolvency exists.
They are directed to verify every credit and debt balance, to personally
count the cash, and to list and verify the loans and discounts and other
assets of the association. This verification can not, of course, be exhaustive, for the reason that the compensation awarded examiners by
law would not cover the time necessarily employed to this end. l^ov
would national banks, as a class, be willing to surrender their books
and suffer interference with their business for a sufficient length of
time to perniit the examiner to make a complete audit of their affairs,
even if they were willing to submit to the expense necessarily attending it.
The liabilities of a bank are represented to a large extent by pass
books in the hands of a multitude of depositors, by drafts issued to a
large nuniber of purchasers and by them transmitted to distant points,
a large amount (several days' issue at least) always being in transit
and unpaid; in certificates of deposit and other like evidences of indebtedness held by persons unknown and inaccessible to the examiner,
in balances due to other banks, and in bills payable and rediscounts,
usually in the hands of distant correspondents of the association.
I t is obvious, therefore, that it would be absolutely impracticable for
the exaininer to make such a complete verification as would demonstrate beyond question that the entries stating these habilities upon
the books of the bank precisely correspond with the amounts represented by these various evidences of indebtedness. Some of these
accounts may in a certain degree be verified by correspondence with
the distant creditors, but to call in all the pass books, certificates of
deposit, and drafts in transit would be obviously impracticable.
The examinations, and reports based thereon, have undergone a
gradual process of evolution during the more than quarter of a century that the national-banking system has been in existence. From
year to year the attention of .the Comptroller has been called to new
and novel devices adopted by those who sought to cover up their criminality or prevent the discovery of serious losses. This has led to increased vigilance upon the part of examiners and to the adoption of
such measures as would, so far as possible, prevent the success of such
devices in the fature. So, under the exigencies of the service the
scope and details of examinations have undergone gradual transforma
342
*
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
tion and enlargement, making them more and more effective and valuable as the age of the system and experience in the wiles of dishonest
bank officials increase.
The small losses suffered by creditors of national banks in the past
have led some part of the general public to feel that governmental
supervision should be of such a character as to absolutely prevent these
associations from becoming insolvent, and that in case such failures
occur those charged with the administration of the law are necessarily
derelict in duty. I t is apparent, however, that such is very far from
being the case. I t will be observed that the duties of the Comptroller,
and in some sense the examiners, are largely negative; that the law consists in large part of necessary limitations and restrictions upon the
operations of the associations organized under its authority. The
Comptroller is therefore mainly charged with the responsibility of indicating to bank managers what they shall not do.
The affairs of each association are, however, wisely placed under the
control of a board of directors elected by the shareholders, which is alone
vested with the power to direct its management. I t is apparent that it
would be impracticable for any Bureau of the General Government
to undertake to participate to any degree in the receiving of deposits,
in the making of loans, and in the thousand details incident to the
management of each particular bank. I t w^ould be in the highest
degree unfortunate and unwise for the Government to attempt to
usurp in any manner the duties which are and must be devolved
upon the representatives of the shareholders of the various banks —
upon its directors and officers.
That the limitations and restraints imposed by the national-bank
act, supplemented by the periodical reports required and published,
have done much to promote the success of the banks constituting the
national system, and the security ofthe various creditors is demonstrated
by its history. I t is, however, indisputable, and conceded by all those
informed as to the facts, that the system of examinations provided fbr
in the brief paragraph quoted at the beginning of this article is of paramount importance and absolutely indispensable to the conspicuous
success which has attended the operations of these associations from
the inauguration of the system.
The officers directly in charge of the various banks and the employes
to whom are committed the details' incident to the proper conduct of
the business, are actuated by the same motives which inspire humanity
generally and are subject to the same temptations and the same
ambitions. In the opinion of the Comptroller, every such officer and
employe will admit that the expected visit of a skilled examiner Avho
is to inspect and criticise the work upon which he is engaged incites
him to greater diligence, promptness, and accuracy, tends to deter him
from entering upon operations inconsistent with good banking, and
strengthens him in his efforts to overcome those temptations to disobey
the law wliich come to every bank manager through the pressure -ol
' customers in the most varied and insidious forms.
That the visits of an examiner should be always welcome to those
in charge of a bank is not to be expected.. Those, however, who are conscious of having discharged their duties with fidelity and abiUty gladly
welcome the inspection of an expert who can properly appreciate the
results of their faithfalness. The officer in charge who earnestly desires
an honorable and successful career will gladly accept the services of
one who can aid him in verifying the various accounts of the bank and
in estabhshing the fidelity and abihty of those subordinates who are en

343
trusted with the details of business. The directors of any association
who are disposed to fulfill the important duties imposed by law and
to merit the confidence reposed in them by their shareholders, hail with
pleasure the visit of one whose sole object is to reinforce their efforts
to contribute t o t h e safety and success o f t h e institution which has
been committed to theic care and direction.
Unfortunately dereliction of duty on the part of directors is the chiet
cause of failure upon the part of corporations generally and of national
banks particularly. I t is this inattention to duty upon the part of
those chosen to represent the shareholders in the management of national banks which has made the visits of the examiner an absolute
necessity.
I t has become a habit on the part of the general public whenever the
failure of a national bank occurs to at once challenge, the integrity or
skill of the examiner charged with its supervision, oblivious of the fact
that his energy, his experience, and his devotion to duty may have prevented the failure of a score^of more or less embarrassed institutions
as to whose mismanagement they are of necessity entirely uninformed.
The bank examiner as a rule faithfully discharges his duty. Every
disobedience of law, and everything indicating impairment of capital,
insolvency, or criminality are in most instances faithfrilly reported to
the Comptroller of the Currency. In every such case the Comptroller
iapplies the remedy named in the law. -If the report indicates a minor
disobedience of law or of the rules of sound banking, caution or reproof
is administered. If impairment of capital is indicated he immediately
issues a notification that it be made good by assessment upon the shareholders. In case insolvency is shown to his satisfaction a receiver is
appointed.
The great service performed through the agency of bank examiners
consists largely, however, in meeting dangerous and unlawfal practices at the threshold. The number of cases of this kind which have
been arrested at the beginning, and severe loss, if not insolvency, prevented by the prompt and timely action of bank examiners is very
great, although necessarily unknown to the general pubhc, and hence
unappreciated by those whose interests have been protected.
The Comx)troller feels the need continually of one or more supervising examiners of approved skill and unquestioned integrity who might
visit the various examiners in the field and bring the work into greater
uniformity and in many ways increase its efficiency. Although the instructions are explicit and the blanks so arranged as to constantly remind these officers of what a complete examination should consist, yet
the Comptrollero can not always feel assured that these are fully understood and faithfully obeyed. And, again, when failures multiply and
exigencies arise making extra precautions necessary, the services of
one or more conspicuously capable examiners who are not permanently
assigned to any particulary district would be invaluable.
The Comptroller also calls attention to the fact that assista-nt examiners are needed in all the large cities, and that no such office now exists.
He therefore recommends that the law be so amended as to provide
for the appointment of not more than three supervising examiners Avho
shall receive an annual salary to be paid from the public funds; that
the Comptroller be empowered to appoint as many assistant examiners
as may in his judgment be necessary, to be paid such compensation as
maybe fixed bythe Comx3troller from,the fees of the examiners by whom
they are employed.
344
REPORT ON THE F.INANCES.
That each supervising examiner, examiner, and assistant examiner
be reqmred to take an oath before entering upon the discharge of his
duties, and also to give bonds in such amount and with such sureties as
may be satisfactory to the Comptroller.
C E R T I F I C A T E S O F STOCK.
Section 5139 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States provides
that ^^The capital stock of each association shall be divided into shares
of one hundred dollars each, and be deemed personal property, and
transferable on the books of the association in such manner as may be
prescribed in the by-laws or articles of association."
The reports of examiners indicate that too little care is taken in the
transfer of stock and in the issuing of certificates. In many cases
boards of directors neglect to prescribe in the by-laws the manner in
which the transfers are to be made, and, as a rule, the articles of association are silent upon the subject.
o
.
In other instances the by-laws set forth in general terms the manner
in which such transfers shall be effected, but it is frequently found
that they are not obeyed, and that the transfers are of a very irregular
character, and in many cases not lawfully executed. In some banks
no stock ledger is found; in others, certificates are signed in blank and
left for some subordinate to fill out and deliver when occasion shall require. In other banks certificates surrendered for transfer are not
properly cancelled and preserved, and in newly organized banks they
are occasionally issued to shareholders prior to their having paid in
fall for the same. Where banks are increasing their capital, certificates are sometimes issued before the increase has been submitted to
and approved by the Comptroller,
These are a few examples of irregular practices on the part of banks
which have been brought to the attention of the Comptroller by recent
examinations.
The shareholders of national banks are its proprietors and the certificates of stock issued to them are the evidence of their proprietorship.
The importance of preserving the record of such ownership is evidently
not sufficiently appreciated. While it is true that overissues of stock
are comparatively inft'equent it is nevertheless the fact that examiners
often find difficulty in verifying trial balances taken from stock ledgers.
While in most cases this is simply an evidence of carelessness and lack
of system, yet, the exaininer can not always be sure that the future
may not^develop that a more serious condition exists."
One remedy suggested for this state of things is t h a t aU transfers of
stock be registered by a corporation acting in the" capacity of an
agent for that purpose, This is a very valuable safeguard, aud is comparatively convenient and inexpensive for banks situated in large cities.
This plan is certainly worthy of investigation by all boards of directors,
and it is recommended to their favorable consideration. The added
value attached to shares by reason of this registration would, in the
opinion of the Comptroller, exceed the slight cost which such registration would involve. As the system is, however, largely composed of
banks with small capital, located outside of the larger cities, in a great
majority of cases this plan would not be deemed feasible, and therefore
the remedy, so far as it applies to the system generally, must be found
in the greater care and activity of the directors of the several associations. They should first see that proper by-laws regulating the transfer
of shares are adopted. Proper books should be famished for recording
the transfer of shares, in accordance with the terms of the by-laws, and

pro^dsion made for the fr^equent examination of the certificate book,
stock ledger, and transfer book by a committee charged with this special
duty.
The signing of certificates in blank should be forbidden, and great care
should be exercised in the cancellation and preservation of surrendered
certificates. As it is important in the enforcement of the individual liability of shareholders in the case of insolvent banks whose assets prove
insufficient to pay their debts that the question of proprietorship ,
should be definitely determined, it is recommended that a receipt be
taken from each shareholder upon delivery to him of the certificate
representing the stock of which he is the owner.
O F F I C E R S A N D D I R E C T O R S AS B O R R O W E R S .
While the failures of the year just closed have been in large part due
to well-defined causes, which have been operating with morr. or less
severity in aU parts of the civilized world, supplemented by the local
influences to which allusion has been made, it is evident that some
features of the morp important ones are suggestive of needed changes
in the national-bank act. In almost every instance an investigation
of the affairs of an insolvent bank discloses the fact that the officers
and directors have too freely used the funds of the association for their
own purposes, either ih a l^wfal or unlawful manner.
The facility with which the active officers of a bank may borrow its
funds seems to make it necessary that some added restriction should
be placed upon transactions of this kind.
In the organization of a national bank those who contribute the funds
which constitute its capital should dedicate the same to the business
of bankiDg,and notto the creation of an instrumentality through which
they may proceed to borrow to an amount largely in excess of the sum
contributed by them to the original capital.
The principal limitation as to loans and discounts is found in section
5200 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States, which reads as
follows:
The total liabilities to any association, of any person, or of any company, corporation, or firm, for money borrowed, including in the liabilities of a company or
firm the liabilities of the several members thereof, shall at no time exceed one-tenth
p a r t of the amount of the capital stock of such association actually paid in. But
the discount of bills of exchange drawn in good faith against actually existing
values, and the discount of commercial or business paper actually owned by the
person negotiating t h e same, shall not be considered as money borrowed.
This limitation is found to be wholesome in its general application,
but recent events indicate that additional safeguards are needed.
In my opinion some hmitation should be placed upon the amount of
commercial or business paper which may be discounted by an association for any person, company, corporation, or firm, and a similar restriction should be placed upon indirect habihties resulting fr'om guaranty
or endoi'sement. If it is deemed necessary to limit direct loans to 10
per cent of the capital paid in it would for the same reason follow that
indirect liabilities should be subject to some limitation. Just what the
extent of the restrictions should be is not so easily determined, but, in
my judgment, the direct and indirect liabilities, in the case.of a director,
should not exceed 20 per cent of the capital paid in.
The ai3tive officers of the bank, who are charged with the custody of
its assets and the handling of its funds, should not, in my opinion, be
permitted to appear as borrowers or become in any way liable to the association with which they are connected. While this might work hardship in exceptional cases it would without doubt add greatly to the se

curity of the creditors ofthe banks as a whole.' I t would be unwise to
forbid an. association to loan to or discount for its several directors, as
they are usually selected from among the leading men in the various
branches of buvSiness, for the reason that they possess information which
is of great value in passing upon paper offered by those engaged in^
the same line of trade with themselves.
There seems to be no serious objection, however, to placing someliinit upon their indirect as well as direct liabilities. The Comptroller,
therefore, takes this opportunity to recommend that the active officers
of a bank be excluded from incurring liabilities to the association
with which they are connected, and that the direct and indirect liabilities of a director be confined to 20 per cent of the paid-up capital,
leaving the limitations contained in section 5200 United States EjBvised
Statutes intact. The Comptroller is also of opinion that the publication of the liabilities of officers and directors would afford a valuable
safeguard.
The Comptroller also desires to call attention to the fact that no suitable penalty is provided by law for violations of section 5200 United
States Eevised Statutes.
Aside from the power to brings suit for forfeiture of franchise under
the general provisions of law laying the groundwork for enforcing the
liability of directors, the Comptroller is without the power to enforce
obedience to the hmitations of the section quoted. The remedy provided is so severe.as to make it entirely useless, no Comptroller having
ever brought suit to forfeit the franchise of an active bank. The reason
for this is obvious, as such a proceeding would destroy the bank,
thereby greatly aggravating instead of affording a remedy for the evil
complained of. The Comj^troller should be empowered by law to inflict
such a penalty, by way of fine or assessment, as would make excessive
loans highly unprofitable, and yet not so severe as to prevent its being
promptly and invariably imposed in every case brought to his notice.
BONDS OF BANK OFFICERS.
Circumstances attending recent failures have served to call the attention of the Comptroller to the fact that much greater, care should be
exercised by boards of directors in the matter of the official bonds of
the officers and employes of their several banks.
The general verdict of those most experienced in the management of
banks is in favor of requiring official bonds from all who occupy
places of trust, and especially those who handle cash or convertible
securities. Under the national-bank act it is left discretionary with
boards of directors whether or not they shall require official bonds.
This matter should be taken up, fully discussed, and definitely decided
by each board of directors.
^
At the time of organization the matter usually has attention and
certain requirements are decided upon but are inefficiently carried out.
Frequently the by-laws of an association contain all that is necessary
in relation to bonds, but the reports of bank examiners disclose the fact
that these by-laws often become obsolete by reason of inattention to
their enforcement.
There are various phases of this subject which should be considered
by those responsible for the management of a bank. In the first place
it is necessary that the board of directors should decide as to the particular officers and employes who shall give official bonds and determine
upon the amount in each case. Ordinarily this covers the entire action
ofthe board in relation to the matter. This,, however, does not consti- '
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

tute the full measure of their duty. Great care should be'taken in preparing the form of the bond required so that in case it becomes forfeited the penalty can be enforced. ISTot only should the form of the
bond have careful attention but its terms should be such as to cover
not only criminal acts but such as involve a lack of due diligence on the
part of the officers or employ6s.
Ih this connection it is proper to say that the Comptroller is in receipt
of information, from *a source which entitles it to the highest consideration, that bonds are habitually offered and frequently accepted which
guarantee the bank only against such misconduct of the officer as amounts
to embezzlement or larceny and do not secure it against gross carelessness or against connivance at or the overlooking of its spoliation by
others.
This warning should be heeded and every board of directors should
promptly order an examination of all official bonds in their custody by
^competent counsel so that their bank may not suffer thrd'ugh their
neglect when an exigency arises.
Again, it is important that the sureties should be of such a character
as to insure the collection of the penalty in case of forfeiture. If the
surety is an incorporated company, as is common now, its solvency
should be fally ascertained, and the necessary information procured as
to its right to enter into such a contract under its charter. I t is also
important that this class of bonds should be examined with especial care
as to whether they are broad enough in their terms to properly protect
the bank in case ofthe unfaithfalness ofthe principal.
In case natural persons are accepted as surety similar care should
be exercised. ISTo one should be acceiDted as surety upon such„a bond
whose rcvsponsibility for the penalty is not fally established. In addition
to this it is well to reject all those who are not of such high character
and established integrity as to unhesitatingly meet any losses which
may occur, regarding it as a moral as well as a legal obligation.
I t is quite fr-equently the case that a bond prepared and executed,
with satisfactory sureties, is found in the custody of or accessible to
the identical oificer for whose faithfnl performance of duty it is tlie
bank's only security. I t is the duty of every board of directors to see
that the custody of these boujds is committed to those who can have no
interest in their becoming mislaid or destroyed, and w;ho will faithfully
keei) and produce them when wanted.
The bond having been properly prepared and executed, signed by
sureties known to be responsible and deposited in secure hands, it
remains for the board of directors to make a periodical examination in
order that their existence and safety maybe verified, and for the farther
purpose of ascertaining that the security once deemed satisfactory has
not become impaired by death, removal, insolvency, or some other cause
which would put the interests of the bank in jeopardy.
A t the regular annual visit of the examiner inquiry is made as to
whether the by-laws require official bonds, and if so whether or not they
havebeen executed in accordance therewith, and also as to their custody.
He is instructed to call the attention of officers to any circumstances
developed by his examination which would tend to impair the security
of the association. His suggestions in relation to this matter, however,
are usually necessarily made to the active officers of the bank, who are
the identical persons from whom official bonds are required. I t is often
impracticable for him to call the attention of the board of directors of
the bank to the necessity for the desired action in a given case.
The danger lurking here is greatly aggravated by the fact that, as a
rule, the active officers possess the unbounded confidence of the board
348
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES,
of directors, and this confidence generally remains unshaken until the
commission of some aCct which makes necessary a resort to the sureties
upon the official bond.
Unless the precautions above alluded to have had attention prior to
the discovery of the unfaithfalness of the trusted officer or employ6
the directors awaken too late to the fact that they have been derelict in

REPORT ON THE FINANCES,
RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS BY CLOSED BANKS.
A conspicuous feature of the operations of this Bureau for the report
year has been the resumption of business by banks which had voluntarily closed their doors to business,
-' Ordinarily the closing of a national bank serves to so greatly impair
its credit as to render its resuscitation both imjiracticable and undesirable. In most cases the dishonesty or mismanagement which necessitates the closing of its doors causes such an impairment of confidence
as to prevent the bank, even under new and competent management,
from regaining its former position and securing the necessary support
from the general public.
Ordinarily it is deemed better to organize a new association, with ah
entirely new title, than to endeavor to reopen one which has been closed.
Occasionally, however, it occurs that the closing of a bank may result
from causes which neither seriously affect its credit nor greatly impair
its capital. In .some such cases the confidence of the community is not
withdrawn, and the good wiU of the association, which may have had
a long and honorable career, is deemed by its shareholders worthy of
preservation.
It has been the policy of the Comptroller in every such case to encourage the adoption of measures that would enable him to withdraw
the examiner or receiver and permit the bank to resume business at as
early a date as possible. He has, however, invariably made it a condition precedent that the affairs of the association should be put in a
satisfactory condition. This Avould imply that its capital should be
unimpaired, that its cash should be substantially equal to its demand
liabilities, and that all doubtfal and worthless assets should be eliminated 5 that all its aff'airs should be placed in strict compliance with
law and such changes made in its board of directors and officers as
would exclude those who had been guilty .of mismanagiag its affairs,
and generally such measures enforced as would insure a prudent, conservative, and law-abiding course in the fature.
This pohcy has only been adopted in cases where the^Comptroller was
led to beheve that the conditions were, to :a'marked degree, favorable
to a successfal faturci career,
°
•
The failure of a bank is always a calamity, even where the assets of
the failed institution are sufficient to ultimately pay in fall its liabilities.
The delay necessarily incident to converting these assets into'cash and
dividing them among the several claimants is the cause of much inconvenience and loss to a large number of depositors,
A national bank is organized for the purpose of conducting a commercial business, and is ordinarily the depositary for the current cash
receipts of persons engaged in every form of manufacturing, industrial,
and commercial business. Most of these enterprises are conducted with
capital barely sufficient to form a basis of "credit, the latter being mainly
relied upon and of, by far, the greater importance,. Every such firm
engaged in business is hable to have its credit destroyed bythe locking
up of its cash resources, resulting in the dishonoring of its paper and
subsequent failure.
All classes; however, are represented among the creditors of these
insolvent banks. The desire to find a safe»dei30sitory for funds temporarily idle moves aU alike. The rich and the poor, young and old,
capitalist and laborer, all appear as claimants.
An investigation of the affairs of an insolvent bank invariably discloses cases of x)eculiar hardship and frequently brings to light such
misfortunes as are calculated to arouse the sympathies of the most in°

different. I t is therefore a matter of great importance to the creditors
of a failed association that their balances be made available at the
earhest d^te practicable.
]N:ot only are the creditors of a failed association greatly benefited
by its being speedily reopened for business but shareholders also, for
it is a well-established fact that the assets of such an association are
much more valuable to it as an active bank than if in liquidation or
in the hands of-a receiver. ' .
As a result of the pohcy outlined above six national banks, which
closed their doors to business, possessing an aggregate capital of.
$2,225,000 and having liabilities amounting to $3,756,362, have been
permitted to resume business since the 1st day of January, 1891. One
other bank, closed by order of the Comptroller, having a capital of
$300,000 and liabilities amounting to $622,221, was permitted to go into
voluntary liquidation, the directors and principal shareholders of the
bank having provided the necessary funds to meet all habilities.
The following table gives the title of these banks, date of closing,
date of resumption, and amount of capital and liabihties.

Of these banks the INTewton National Bank of ISTewton, Kans., and the
Farmers and Merchants' l^ational Bank of Clarksville, Tenn., were in
the hands of receivers. In the other cases no receiver had been appointed, a bank examiner being in charge between the date of closing
and reopening of the bank for business.
*
In each of the cases above mentioned the banks when reopened were
reported by the officer in charge to possess an unimpaired capital, cash
in hand sufficient to meet all demand habihties, and under such management as gave reasonable assurance of an honorable and successfal
career. All these banks are still in operation, having promptly met all
their obligations according to their terms, excepting the Washington
ISTational Bank of New York, which was permitted to go into voluntary
liquidation and has paid in fall all liabilities.
So far as the Comptroller is informed the records ofthe Department
disclose but one case in the history of the system prior to 1891 where
a bank once placed in the hands of a receiver was permitted to reopen.
I t is hoped and believed that the fature success of these banks will
be such as to warrant the Comptroller in continuing a policy which has
led to their rehabilitation.

I t will be seen that capital, surplus, undivided xirofits, and deposits
have increased from $995,542,378 in January, 1866, to $2,596,606,111 on
September 25,1891, and that loans and discounts amounting to $500,650,109 have reached the sum of $1,989,351,239, which is nearly quadruple, and upon reference to other images in this report that the number
of active banks has increased from 1,582 to 3,677. The holdings in
bonds have decreased from $440,380,350 to $174,907,550, but on April
4, 1879, an intermediate period, the banks held $712,437,900. The
specie held by the banks on January 1, 1866, amoanted to $16,909,363,
was only $8,050,330 in 1875, and amounted to $183,515,076 on September 25, 1891, which was a falling off of more than $12,000,000 since October 2, 1890, on which date the highest point was reached.
The following comparative statement gives the percentages of loans
and discounts, IJnited States bonds, and specie to the entire fund with
Avhichthe banks do business, which is made up of capital, surplus, undivided profits, circulation,-and deposits.
In 1866 the percentage of circulation to capital, surplus, and undivided profits was about 45 per cent, and is now about 13 per cent, the
same as last year.

CIRCULATING NOTES.
The actual circulation outstanding on September 25, 1891, for which
the banks were responsible Avas $134,897,243, this amount being exclusive of $37,002,875 also in circulation but represented by lawful money
deposited by the banks for redemption purposes whenever the notes are
received by the Treasurer.
The minimum deposit of the bonds required of the 3,677 national
banks in operation September 25,1891, was $104,933,987, upon which
only $94,440,589 of national-bank circulation could be issued. These
banks held, on September 25, $150,035,600 of bonds, and were actually
responsible for $40,456,654 of circulation more than the minimum. Some
banks do not take circulation.
/
Ofthe 3,677 banks 2,651 have a capital not exceeding $150,000 nor
less than $50,000 each, which is the lowest amount any bank in the
system may have, the aggregate capital amounting to $214,126,010.
The remaining 1,026 have a capital of over $150,000 each, the aggregate
amounting to $463,300,860. If an amount of bonds equal to the total
capital were deposited to secure circulation the whole body of banks
might have a circulation amounting to $609,684,183, or $515,243,594
more than the present minimum. A table in the Appendix,* page 141,
shows, by States and geographical divisions, this information in detail.

The foregoing table is perpetuated to show by comparison the falling
oif in the amount of bonds deposited in excess of the requirement, and
it will be seen that the percentage of excess has fallen from 28 in
1882-'83 to .12 in 1889-'90. Of the 239 banks organized during the
past fiscal year 143 have a capital of $50,000 eaph," amounting tb
$7,150,000; 56 have a capital of over. $50,000 and not exceeding $150,000,
aggregating $5,280,000, and 40 have an aggregate capital of $15,250,000.
The 40 largest banks deposited the exact amount of bonds required by
law, and of the remaining 199 banks only 4 deposited bonds in excess
of the requirement.
j^otAvithstanding the continuous accession of HCA^ banks to the system, more than counterbalancing the number which fail or are placed
in voluntary hquidation from year to year, the outstanding circulation
steadily decreases.
The anomaly, however, is presented, as a result of operations during
the past year, of an increased circulation for which the banks are responsible. This increase amounted to $9,720,287, and was caused by
the organization of new banks and additional deposits of bon4s by
banks' already organized. The aggregate outstanding circulation, however, was reduced by the redemption of $19,400,679, for which laAv^ful
money had been deposited, leaving a net decrease of $9,680,392.
By referring to page 366 it will be observed that the total withdrawal
of bonds, for transfer to the Secretary for purchase or redemption,
amounted to $32,378,800, nearly the whole amount being substituted
by other bonds.
The following table shows by comparison for eight years the amounts
of lawful money deposited and the consequent decrease of circulation:

MARKET PRICES OF UNITED STATES BONDS.
The investment value of United States l)onds increases as the relative
tnarket price of such bonds declines. The 4J percents matured September 2, 1891, and it wiU be observed that the market price declined
very regularly up to date of maturity. The fluctuation in prices of 4
percents was not considerable, the decline, however, being about double
that during the previous year. The following table, prepared by the
Acting Actuary of the Treasury, will show the movements in xDrices
of the two classes during the year ended October 31, 1891:

TREASURY.
During the past report year, the purchase of 4 per cents was discontinued by the Government in the month of January, the total purchases
amounting to $8,645,850. Under Treasury circular dated October 9,
^ 1890, the redemption of 4J per cents commenced, interest being added
to the face of the bond up to and including August 31, 1891. Under
the various circulars issued, the total redemptions of 4J per cents
amounted to $33,966,150, and the total purchased and redeemed of
both classes to $42,612,000. The total purchases and redemption of
these two classes of bonds amounted to $373,484,150 since the issue of
circular dated April 17,1888. Circular dated July 2,1891, provided
that any of the 4J per cents theretofore called for redemi>tion might be
presented for continuance during the pleasure of the Government, with
interest at the rate of 2 per centum xier annum, in lieu of redemption..
A subsequent circular extended the time for presentation for continuance to Seiitember 30.
The amount of bonds so continued was $25,364,500. On November
1, there Avere $4,601,500 of this class of l3onds which had not been
presented for redemx3tion or continuance. Of this amount the national

banks had on deposit to secure circulation $199,400. The statutes require in the organization of a national bank a deposit of United States
registered bonds bearing interest, and the few banks holding, these
bonds, being either indifferent or recalcitrant, were addressed by
circular to substitute interest-bearing bonds without delay. The question had heretofore arisen as to the legal status of a bank having
bonds on deposit which did not comply with the statutes, and the question, upon being referred to the Department of Justice, was decided
adversely to the-banks declining to withdraw non-interest-bearing bonds
and substitute others.

BOND W I T H D R A W A L S BY NATIONAL BANKS.
The effect of the purchase and redemption of bonds during the year
by the Treasurer upon the volume of circulation was inconsiderable;
for, of the $3,926,050 bonds withdrawn by the banks, and substitution
not made upward of $1,553,000 were withdrawn, on account of failed
and liquidating banks. JSTotwithstanding the withdrawal of $2,372,500
on account of reducing banks, there was an actual increase in the
amount of circulation, for Avhich the banks are responsible, as will be
seen elsewhere.
The following table shows the class and amount of bonds withdrawn
by the banks, for purchase or redemption under Treasury circulars of
October 9, December 6, 1890, June 2, July 2, August 24, September 2,
and September 16,1891, and the class and amount of bonds deposited
from October 31,1890, to November 1, 1891, together with the total
withdrawals, on the deposit of lawful money, for which substitution
was not made.

semiannual duty of one-half of 1 per cent upon the average amount of
notes in circulation issued upon deposits of interest-bearing bonds of
the United States, and the banks are required under the provisions of
the act approved June 20, 1874, to pay the expenses incident to the
redemption of their notes to the Treasurer of the United States. The
banks are also required to pay the expenses of preparing plates from
which their circulating notes are printed. The fees allowed to national
bank examiners are paid by the banks at rates fixed in accordance with
the provisions of section 5240 of the Revised Statutes, as amended by
the act approved February 19, 1875. The amount of tax upon circulation and assessments collected during the past year were as follows:

suspension. The remote causes of failure l^ere negligence of directors,
general stagnation of business, and decrease in values, resulting from
. continuous failure of crops.
The First ISTational Bank of Alma, Kans., for several months prior to
suspension of business had received more than ordinary attention from
the national bank examiner, two examinations having been made
within a period of six months. Th^ president of the bank was accused
of borrowing money on the strength of the bank's indorsement for personal use and investment in private enterprises, and of issuing certificates of deposit in blank ^ums to be sold under contract by outside
parties. Judgments were resting against the president individually, ^
and judgment had been obtained against the bank by a corres[oohdent,
the sherifi* levying upon the real and personal property. The amount
of demand liabilities was very small and voluntary liquidation was contemplated, but an examiner, who visited the bank with special instructions, closed the doors on I^ovember 10, 1890, after due examination.
The First E'ational Bank of Belleville, Kans,, closed its doors December 2,1890,
The president was a large borrower, and used th<e b^nk for individual
purposes. The banking house was destroyed by fire October 28, and
from that date deposits gradually diminished, seriously limiting the
business of the bank. The president was active in promoting local enterprises, SDine of which were total failures, and there was no return

'
The American E"ational Bank of Arkansas City, Kans., closed its doors
December 8, 1890.
The condition of affaks was complicated. The officers of the bank
had used assets to farther personal interests, and created large and exjcessive loans. The immediate cause of suspension was inability to pay
a demand certificate of deposit. There was an unwarranted extension
of business in attempting to sustain enterprises in which the officers
were interested, and large sums of inoney were borrowed upon certificates of deposit at high rates of interest. Dividends were paid to shareholders not justified by the earnings of the bank, and the directors were
guilty of gross inattention to duty, disregard of the law and advice from
the Comptroller.
Dividends have been paid amounting to 20 per cent on the principal
of claims proved, and the assets may prove to be sufficient for payment
in fall.
The'Spokane E'ational Bank of Spokane Falls, Wash,, closed its doors
December 18, 1890, •
The entire management of affairs was committed to the cashier and
the vice-president, who were the moving spirits in speculative enterprises, which were carried on without interference or control b y t h e
directors, the latter never giving the bank any attention, but lending
their names in support of the reckless operations of the cashier. About
one-half of the deposits were locked uj) in private banks and mining
interests. This condition of affairs made it impossible for the bank to
meet its demand obligations, and was the iminediate cause of suspension,

50 per cent of the ca]3ital stock, was levied by the Comptroller, and
remained unpaid. The examiner upon taking charge discovered the
fact that more than one-half of an increase of caintal certified to the
Comptroller as having been jysdd in, and authorized by him in accordance Avith law, was represented by the notes of subscribers, the obligations remaining unpaid at date of suspension.
Kotes had been rediscounted for persons to whom the president had
transferred real estate at fictitious values. High rates of interest were
paid on certificates of deposit and bills payable to non-resident capitalists for several years prior to the suspension, and dividends not earned
were declared and paid to shareholders. The board of directors was
inattentive to duty, which made reckless mismanagement possible.
A dividend of 15 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal of claims proved.
The People's ISTational Bank of Fayetteville, N. C., closed its doors
Deceinber 31, 1890, the immediate cause being a slight run by depositors. ' The condition of affairs, as reported by the examiner uijon
taking charge, showed gross irregularities by the president and criminal violation of law. As a critical examination progressed,' it was
found that tlie bank had been practically insolvent for many years, the
Comptroller and the*examiners having been deceived through systematic
and successfal attempts to carry among the assets a large amount of
notes and bills as alive and secured which were in fact past due and
worthless.
The president was permitted to abstract fands of the bank upon the
indorsement of notes taken by him in connection with an outside enterprise, and which were "represented as being secured by chattel mortgage. Fictitious drafts were drawn and carried by the bank as bills of
exchange. The president was thoroughly dishonest; but, because the
directors and other officers either did not know their duties or utterly
failed to perform them, he was enabled to completely wreck the bank.
All the facts were promptly reported to the United States district
attorney.^ The president was arrested,-but the grand jury failed to
find an indictment.
A dividend of 20 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal
of claims proved.
The First ISTational Bank of Ellsworth, Kans., closed its doors January
26, 1891. Suspension was inevitable as the result.of injudicious and.
reckless loans to the cashier and his friends, the funds being used and
lost in speculation. A dividend of 15 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal of claims provied.
The Pratt County ISTational Bank, of Pratt, Kans., closed its doors
February 26, 1891. The president was a large borrower and a wild
speculator. The bank was compelled to take mortgages to secure his
indebtedness, which were not. valuable as live assets, the aggregate
amount representing more than one-half of the capital of the bank. The
bank also suffered large losses in the earlier period of its existence,
but the management undertook to conduct a successful business by
borrowing on bills payable and bills receivable and paying excessive
rates of interest on. deposits. Upon sudden demand for the payment
of tbe deposit of the county treasurer, the bank was forced to suspend.
A dividend of 20 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal
of claims proved.
The Second ISTational Bank of McPherson, Kans., closed its doors

agement of its president, who squandered the assets. Wlien the bank
suspended he committed suicide.
The Keystone J^ational Bank of Pliila.del.phia, Pa., was closed . to
businei^s oh the morning of March 20,1891, by order of the Comptroller
of the Currency, the examiner'immediately taking charge.
An assessment upon the shareholders luid been previouslj^ levied to
make good an impairment of the capital, as such impairment was then
estimated. The assessment was not responded to by the shareholders,
and ui^on disclosures made by the president of the bank in i)erson to
the Comptroller, on the evening of March 19, immediate action was taken
a,nd the bank was closed. According to the records of the bank as
then disclosed, the capital had not been entirely lost, but subsequent
investigation developed the fact that collusion among the officers and
employes had resulted in successfally deceiving the examiner and the
Comptroller with resi)ect to the true condition of the bank.
" The causes of the failure were reckless and criminal use of funds belonging to the bank, the bookkeeper having aided the president, who is a
fugitive from justice, in deceiving the examiner by Mse entries, such
entries being made at or about the dates of examination. This bookkeeper, after the suspension, admitted his guilty and was arrested,
brought to trial, and sentenced to imj)risonment for a term of seven
years. Subsequently three other ipersons connected with the bank
were arrested upon information and are now held under bail for collusioHo
A thorough investigation has progressed since the date of suspension,
for the puri^ose of ascertaining all the facts and fixing jiersonal liability.
The city treasurer of Philadelphia appeared to be a large creditor, and
permission was granted State and city authorities to investigate the
records ofthe bank for the purpose of ascertaining the precise facts.
The Treasury Department also instituted an investigation of all the
records of the bank, with the view of ascertaining who is liable, criminally of otherwise, for the failure, which is still in progress.
The Spring Garden i^ational Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.,dosed its
doors on the morning of May 8,1891, being unable to settle with the
clearinghouse. This suspension closely followed that of the Keystone
National Bank, and as investigation proceeded it became evident that
there had been criminal violations of law. On May 28 the president
and cashier were arrested upon information and brought to trial. They
were found guilty and relegated tb the penitentiary for a term of ten
years each,

The First i^ational Bank of Eed Cloud, l^ebr., was closed by the examiner May 22, 1891, payment of a certificate of deposit having been
refused, and in obedience to telegraphic instructions from the Comptroller, Upon investigation it was discovered that the bank had been
in an insolvent condition for a considerable period of time, such condition having been caused by irregularities of former officers and general mismanagement, E"o meeting of the shareholders had apparently
been held for more than two years, and the officers and employes
immediately in charge were permitted to conduct its aff'airs. The funds
of the bank were largely loaned to its officers, and their relatives, tho
loans not being properly secured.
The ISTational City Bank of Marshall, Mich., closed its doors June 3,
1891. On June 2 the Comptroller was advised that the assistant
cashier had embezzled a large sum of money, but that the bondsmen
were able and willing to make good the entire loss without delayc
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. .
379
The cashier was very inattentive to duty, and the directors, having
unbounded confidence in the integrity of the employes, grossly neglected the interests of the bank. As investigation proceeded the embezzlement was found to e^ual the entire capital stock. On May 27
the examiner discovered the defalcation and informed the directors,
but as the bank w^as still considered solvent, no action was taken to
secure arrest, and the embezzler escaped before the doors were closed
and the examiner took charge.
,
A dividend of 50 per cent has been paid to creditors upon the i)rincipal of claims proved.
The Eed Cloud ISTational Bank of Eed Cloud, Nebr., was closed by
order of the Comptroller June 26, 1891. All of its capital was represented by unconvertible securities, and the fanjls ofthe bank had been
invested in local enterprises, at great loss.
The condition of the bank was due to bad management and a total
disregard of sound banking principles.
The Asbury Park JSTational Bank of Asbury Park, N: J., was closed
by order of the Comptroller July 1, 1891. During the i^eriod of the
bank's existence a sufficient amount of individual deposits were not obtained to make a profitable business. A large and costly building was
constructed, and as an asset was not consistent with the volume of business. The president borrowed large sums, bad loans were made, and
excessive interest was paid. Expenditures and losses were in excess of
earnings, the directors were negligent of duty, and false statements of
condition were'made. The public and correspondent banks lost confidence and suspension became inevitable.
The Central Nebraska National Bank of Broken Bow, Nebr., was
closed by the examiner on the morning of June 12, 1891, upon receipt
of instructions from the Comptroller. The immediate and remote causes
for this action were the heavy loans made to individual directors, aggregating three-fifths of the capital of the bank, and the heavy loss sustained upon bills receivable, wliich had been foisted UXDOH the bank
through questionable methods • adopted by the officers in endeavoring
to aid outside enterprises wholly foreign to the locality. Large sums
of money were borrowed at high rates of interest, for which nearly all
of the good paper of the bank had been pledged as security.
The Florence National Bank of Florence, Ala., closed its doors June
22, 1891, the entire capital having been lost. The former president had
absolute control, improperly used the funds of the bank to sustain' outside enterprises, and was forced to resign; but his management had
placed the bank in a position from which it could not recover. The
suspension ofthe bank was precipitated by the protest of drafts aggregating an inconsiderable amount drawn UIDOH a correspondent bank.
The Ninth National Bank of Dallas, Tex., was closed by the examiner
July 1, 1891, upon receipt of telegraphic instructions from the Comptroller. The bank commenced business in September, 1890, and was
controlled by the cashier, who had previously become indebted for a
large amount to another national bank, of which he was an officer, and
fands ofthe Ninth National Bank were used to liquidate his indebtedness. The directors held meetings only on call, and were not attentive
to duty. A large proportion of the loans were mad e to irresponsible parties without sufficient security, and the proceeds were subrogated to
the uses of the cashier. A new management was effected, but thecapi-.
tal had become so impaired that suspension was inevitable. After the
examiner took charge an attempt was made to. control sufficient funds

for the payment of creditors in full, so that the bank might be placed
in voluntary liquidation, but the effort did not succeed. From the
records it would ai;)])ear that tlie failure Avas almost entirely due to the
wild speculations and dishonest practices of the cashier.
The First National Bank of Kansas City, Kans., closed its doors July
16, 1891, upon demand for the payment of the city deposit. A former
president, in conjunction with the vice-president, were active speculators in real estate and the promoters of outside enterprises. These officers, and other real estate dealers, became indebted to the bank for
large sums, and when a reaction from abnormally high prices resulting
from a so-called ^^boom " occurred, were unable to meet their obligations or secure them with convertible collajterals. Settlements were
forced upon the bank by transfers of real estate, to such an extent that
the assets were tainted with a doubtful or worthless character. The
credit ofthe bank having become impaired, confidence was destroyed,
and stringency in the money market caused a withdrawal of deposits.
The bank was unable to borrow from correspondents, not being able to
pledge sufficient secuiity, and finally could not meet demand obligations.
'
The F k s t National Bank of Palatka, Fla., closed .its doors July 17,
1891. The president was connected with a city banking institution
which failed. Public confidence was destroyed, which resulted in a"considerable withdrawal of deposits, A large amount of stock, bonds, and
real estate mortgages were among the assets, which at date of suspension represeiited a large loss. Serious depreciation of values and stagnation of business were general in the locality. Formerly, the management having been left entirely to the president, loans and investments
were made in outside enterprises, dependent wholly upon the duration
of exceptional local prosperity. The president and his relatives were
large borrowers, and invested the fands in sustaining local schemes.
Finally the bank was unable to borrow from correspondents, or rediscount paper, and could not meet demand obligations.
The Farley National Bank of Montgomery, Ala,, closed its doors
August 21, 1891, The immediate cause of the suspension was the protest of draft-s, aggregating in amount a sum greater than the capital of
the bank, which had been cashed in the interests of a railroad company,
collateral security being held, but not readily convertible. Efforts are
being made to realize upon the security, so that the bank may resume
business.
The Eio Grande National Bank of -Laredo, Tex,, was closed by examiner upon receipt of instructions from the Comptroller September
14,1891, The principai cause of failure was the use of the bank's ftinds
in sustaining an improvement company which owned a large area of
land in the locality. The bank was doing no business, its capital was
seriously impaired, and its resources locked up in unconvertible securities. The depositors were few; the aggregate amount due was insignificant, and there was no money in the bank to loan,.
The First National Bank of Coldwater, Kans,, was closed by a national
bank examiner, uiion receipt of instructions from fche Comptroller, September 21,. 1891o An assessment upon the capital had been made, but
the shareholders did not respond. Former officers of the bank were
reckless speculators in real estate, and failed, owing the bank large
amounts. Their successors were large borrowers for similar purposes,
"The general causes which resulted in suspension were bad and careless
management and indifference to duty on the part of the directors, who

to raise sufficient fands to pay creditors in full, so that the bank might
be placed in voluntary hquidation, was abandoned.
The First National Bank of Clearfield, Pa., closed its doors September 29,1891. The entire capital had been lost. The management of
the bank rested wholly with the president, who had large interests in
outside enterprises a n d a State bank, using the national bank for individual purposes. Excessive loans were made in sustaining outside
deals. . Good assets were systematically abstracted, and worthless
assets substituted. Loans not represented by the obhgafcions of firms
and companies in some form or other, in which the president was interested, were based upon accommodation paper. Large loans were
floated, represented by paper made by persons and firms of doubtful
character. The bank acquired control of a mill property, which locked
up large sums of inoney in the purchase and operation, and was a losing
investment. The directors were either negligent or guilty of collusion.
The irregularities already discovered strongly indicate fraudulent and
gross violations of law. The president was promptly arrested and held
for trial.
The Washington National Bank of New York City was organized
June 5,1890, with a capital of $300,000. Injudicious loans were inade,
and the capital became seriously impaked. The doors were closed to
business March 24, 1891, but the assets being sufficient to pay all liabilities, the bank was permitted to go into voluntary liquidation.
The Newton National Bank of NcAvton, Kans., closed its doors November 20, 1890. A few months prior to this date an increase of capital
stock had been approved by the Comptroller, the affairs of the bank,
according to reports, being in good condition. A considerable number
of shares of stock were owned by non-residents, who regarded the
investment as secure mthout inquiry as to the conduct of the bank
with respect to its management.
After suspension the fact was developed that most of the increase,
had been collected prior tp authorization by the Comptroller, and was
represented substantially byloans made to a bank in Guthrie, Okla.,
which had failed. The cashier of this bank was the cashier of the Newton National Bank and co-manager. The management of the NcAvton
National Bank practically rested with the viQe-president and cashier.
Only one-third of the capital stock was held by local shareholders,
so that unusual. facihties were afforded these officers for using the
ftinds ofthe bank uncontrolled, as they owned about two-thirds of the^
stock locally held. The officers borrowed largely from the bank, and
pledged a majority of the good bills as collateral security fbr rediscounts. The Eastern shareholders were prompt in taking steps looking
to a repairment of the capital, and their efforts resulted in a deposit of
sufficient fresh cajiital in cash to place the bank upon a solvent footing.
The receiver was withdrawn, and the bank was permitted to resume
business July 1,1891.

The Farmers and Merchants' National Bank of Clarksville, Tenn.,
closed its doors December 10,1890, on account of the embarrassment
created by the failure of a private bank and firms indebted to it in
large sums^. Eeports indicated that the embarrassment was temporary,
and immediate steps were taken by the vshareholders to repair the capital, so that, if permitted, the bank might resume business. Their
efforts were successful, a voluntary assessment was levied and paid,
b'ad debts were charged off*, and as a result there becaine available
fands sufficient to, pay all iliabilities, leaving the capital intact. The
bank was permitted to resume business April 20,1891,

Out of 4,648 national banks organized since February, 1863, only 164,
or about 3.53 per cent, have been placed in the hands of receivers; this
includes 9 which had been previously placed in liquidation by the shareholders, but upon their failing to pay depositors the Comptroller apipohited receivers to wind up their aff'airs. Of the 164 failed banks, 35
have paid creditors in ftiU, principal and interest, 6 have paid principal
and a part of the interest, and 12 have j)aid the principal only. The
aff'airs of 102 of the 164 banks have been finally closed, leaving 62 in
process of settlement, of which 15 are virtually closed, with the exception
of pending litigation, leaving 47 receiverships in active operation.
The total amount so far paid to creditors of msolvent national banks
has been $38,629,123, upon proved claims amounting to $57,792,028.
The amount paid during the year has been $1,725,883, besides, $15,903
paid for dividends declared prior to November 1,1890, on claims proved
since that date. Assessments amounting to $15,173,050 have been made
upon shareholders of insolvent national banks under section 5151 of the
Eevised Statutes of the United States. From this source the gross collections amount to $6,621,409, of which there has been received duiing
the past year $257,734. Suits are pending in some cases.
In the Appendix,-* page 208, a table will be found showing, under various heads, amounts collected ftom the assets of each of the 164 insolvent national banks, the amounts disbursed, and the purpose. All
moneys and assets are accounted for, and the figures supply all information necessary to the ascertainment of percentages and loss.

REPORT

FINANCES.
INACTIVE RECEIVERSHIPS.
Fifteen banks remain in the hands of receivers, the affairs of which
are practically wound up, and the trusts are kept on the inactive list
because of pending htigation or of the possession of assets, an immediate disposition of which would entail unnecessary sacrifice. The
expenses of a trust in this condition are nominal and limited to what is
actually necessary to proper and carefal attention to the matters in
abeyance. Titles to property pass through a receiver and the courts,
but final dividends are sometimes paid from the office of the Comptroller, especially in the event of a considerable lapse of time after a
receiver has realized upon all available assets.
By comparison with the report of 1890 it will be observed that only
one of the banks then reported on the inactive list has been stricken
out. I t is expected that the unsettled affairs of most of those in the
list will be disposed of within the next year and the receiverships
formally terminated.
The following is a list of receiverships in an inactive condition i

nave been partially closed, the Comptroller has been requested to permit resumption of business, the same title and charter number being
retained. The reasons for such requests are generally based upon an
unexpected appreciation in the value of assets, a desire to avoid sacrifices seemingly unnecessary, a change of management found to be important, and a desire to retain the title for its business value.
The Supreme Court of the United States has held that a national
bank in voluntary liquidation is not dissolved as a Qorporation, and may
bring suit or defend for the purpose of winding up its business (Bank
vs. Insiirance Company, "104 U. S., 54), and section 7 of the act apIKoved July 12, 1882, provides:
Tliat national banking associations whose corporate existence lias expired or sha.ll
hereafter expire, and which do not avail themselves of the provisions of this act,
shall be required to comply Avith the provisions of sections 5221 and 5222 of the
RcAased Statutes in the same maainer as if the shareholders had voted to go into liquidation, as provided in section 5220 of the Revised Statutes; and the provisions of
sections 5224 and 5225 of the Revised Statutes shall also be applicable to such associations, except as,modified by this act; and the franchise of such associations is
hereby extended for the-sole x^ui'x^ose of liquidating, their affairs until such affairs
are finally closed.
I t has been held by the courts that under act of Congress approved
July 12, 1882, extending for the purpose of liquidation the franchises
of such national banking associations a^ do not request an extension
of their corporate existence, and making applicable to them the statutes relating to the liquidation of similar banking associations, the
shareholders may continue to elect officers and directors for tile pur-,
pose of effecting liquidation. In the case referred to, the court held
that the right to elect directors and such other officers as are usually
chosen by a business corporation is a part of the corporate franchise,
and that when the franchise is extended, although for a limited purpose, the corx)oratioH may exercise all the powers originally conferred
upon it which are appropriate for that purpose, among which is the
election of directors, the right to manage its own affairs belonging to
the bank through the shareholders, and nojb to those who by accident
are found to be directors in possession.
In 1568 the question arose as to whether the Comptroller ofthe Currency had authority to permit a national bank in voluntary liquidation
to resume all its corporate powers, the request having been made by a
bank which had been, permitted to go into voluntary liquidation, the
shareholders having rescinded a former resolution, and requesting leave
to withdraw notice to the Comptroller of a desire to liquidate the affairs
of the bank. The matter was referred to the Department of Justice,
and the opinion was rendered that resumption of business under such
circumstances would involve too many grave consequences to admit ot
the supposition that such an event was contemplated by Congress, or
that it was consistent with the law.
I t has-been strongly urged, however, that inasmuch as the association does not lose its corporate entity prior to a disposition of the last
remaining asset, title and charter number having been preserved, and
the association having been inactive as to new business only, retroactive
action by shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock, relative to re. sumption of business, should be equally potential with the original
resolution as to voluntary liquidation, inasmuch as the Comptroller is
not inhibited by the law from taking cognizance of such action.
By reference to the statute above quoted it will^be seen that associtions which do not avail themselves of the provisions of the act for
FI 91

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
extension of corporate existence are required to comply Avith the provisions applicable to associations in voluntary liquida<tion consequent
upon th(3 action of shareholders, and that the franchises of the class
first mentioned are extended for the sole purpose of liquidation. It
seems improbable that Congress intended to make a distinction between
^ associations in liquidation by reason of the action or non-action of
shareholders, although in the first instance the language of the statute
is that the association may be closed, and in the other it is more
clearly indicated that the association is to be closed.
Even if it could be conclusively shown that the Comptroller can legally permit a bank in voluntary liquidation to resume business, there
would be insuperable objections to the exercise of such authority,
arising out of a consideration of those principles which underlie a sound
liublic policy with respect to the security of the depositors and creditors of national banks under existing law. Whenever depositors and
creditors are paid in full, shareholders are released from the stock liability prescribed by section 5151 of the Eevised Statutes; and, if the association should be resuscitated, by Avhat process could this liability
be reassumed or enforcedf Furthermore, tbe convertible assets having been realized to liquidate indebtedness, the doubtful alone remain
to represent the interests of shareholders, and.as constituting a part
of the capital would be a constant menace to the welfare of the association.
DIRECTORSo
All the powers of a national banking association are exercised through
its board of directors. As a general rule it may be said that associations will prosper jnst in proiiortion as their directors are intelligent and
faithful. The details of the business must of course be in charge of its
officers, and the duty of selecting these is one of the greatest responsibihties devolved upon the board, for unless the active managers are
skillfal, honest, and attentive the affairs of the association can not
prosper.
With the selection of a proper corps of officers the duties of the directors are well begun, but this is far from constituting all that is required of them,
A recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States has attracted attention to the fact that the duties and responsibilities of
directors of national banks are now ill defined. Without any purpose
to enter into a discussion of the decision in the case mentioned (Briggs
vs. Spaulding, et al), the Comptroller desires to say that legislation
should make these duties so clear and unequivocal that no person of
intelligence could plead ignorance of the requirements of the position.
E^ational banks deriving their franchises from the General Covernment have in the past been conducted with conspicuous fideUty and
have afforded unexampled security to those who have made them the
depositary of their fands. While these facts are well known to all who
have access to statistics upon the subject, there is still room for progress
in the direction of security. iTo matter what safeguards are provided
their enforcement must necessarily be committed to human agencies, and
these are often unskiUfiil and occasionally corrupt.
Experience shows that governmental supervision of national banks
has been in the past of very great service in promoting safe and conservative banking, although its v^lue is neither fully understood nor
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
387
appreciated. Upon the directors, however, properly rests the responsibility of man agement, and any plan which contemplates relieving them
in this respect is false in principle and will be found vicious in practice.
ISTeither can they be safely permitted to delegate their powers and
responsibilities tp other^^, nor neglect them with impunity. If the
provisions of existing law permit directors of national banks to escape
liability for losses resulting from transactions forbidden by the national
bank act by i^leading ignorance of such transa'ctions, while such ignorance is the result of neglect of the affairs of the associations committed to
their charge, it will be useless to expect in the future any better results
than have been experienced in the past. As a matter of fact the greatest difficulty experienced by the Comptroller in j)romoting the successful management of the associations coming under his supervision has
resulted from his inability to inspire the directors of national banks
with a proper realization of the duties which they owe to the shareholders whom they have consented to serve and the creditors whorn
they have engaged to protect. The greatest obstacles to be overcome
are neglect and inattention. In far too many associations boards of
directors never meet except upon the occasions when dividends are to
be declared, and even this is sometimes unlawfully attempted without
necessary action HD on their part.
I
In other cases there is a disposition exhibited by directors to monopolize the loans and discounts of the bank, thus converting to their own
. use the funds of others entrusted to their keeping, thereby exposing
the bank to losses by reason of want of proper distribution of its loans
and subjecting to inconvenience those customers of the^bank who are
not favored with a place at the directors' table. Such inattention and
selfishness are too often the characteristics of bank directors and are
l^roductive of serious consequences, but when accompanied, as they
sometimes are, by lack of integrity the most direful results are realized.
In relation to no matter connected with the conduct of national banks
is legislation more imperatively demanded than in. making plain the
duties of those who accept the position of directors.
If to absent themselves from the bank and from the meetings of the
board affords safe grounds of defense when it is sought to hold them
accountable for losses which their presence and reasonable oversight
would have iDrevented, then the public have been grossly deceived as
to the measure of duty which shareholders and creditors may properly
demand of officers to whom such important trusts have been committed.
If the board of directors may safely neglect everything connected with
the conduct of a bank except the election of officers and the declaration
of dividends, then the law is greatly at fault. " Such a complete abdication of powers, ought not to go unrebuked and unpunished. All other
safeguards will prove of little value if the chosen and only representatives of the shareholders may lawfully refuse and neglect to give the
interests committed to their care such attention and supervision as successful proprietorship has at all times demanded.

was a decrease in the volume of* exchanges amounting to over
$3,000,000,000, and that nearly the whole of such decrease occurred
in the three jprincipal eastern cities. The exchanges in iTew York
amounted to about 60 iDcrcent ofthe whole sum for the United States,

A table will be found on page 171 of the Appendix,* compiled from
returns made to the Clearing liouse h j the national banksinE"ew York
Citj, exhibiting the movement of their reserve, Aveekly, during October,
for the last fifteen years.
STATE, SAVINGS, PRIVATE BANKS, LOAN AND TRUST COMPANIES.
. In addition to rex)orting the condition of associations organized under national authority, the law provides that the Comptroller of the
Currency shall procure and publish in his annual report to -Congress
statements exhibiting the condition of banks, banking companies, and
savings banks organized under State and Territorial laws; and'through
the courtesy of public officials, in all but 18 of the States and Territories, this Bureau has been favored with statements of condition, of
such banking institutions. It has been the custom for the past few
years to add to information of that character similar returns from banks
in States in which examinations are not authorized by law and reports
of condition exacted. Such information is procured through direct corresx:)ondence with each bank and banker, over 5,500 having been requested to furnish statements for this report.
While there is an apparent reluctance upon the part of proprietors
of private banks to submit reports of their condition, officers of incorporated institutions report so generally that the returns herewith given
represent over 93 per cent of these institutious stated to be in operation, and unquestionably a larger percentage of their total banking
resources. During the year ended January 1, 1891, there was an increase of 606 over the prior year in number of banks organized, and
an increase of 583 in the number from which reports have been received this year, indicating that the field is practically covered by the
returns herewith published. Deviating in a measure from the jDlan of
tabulating these' rexDorts as heretofore given (official and unofficial returns having been abstracted and compiled separately), it has been
deemed best to consolidate all reports of each class of banks by States,
simply indicating official and unofficial returns by proper references.
Including reports made by private banks and bankers, statements
representing the resources and liabilities of 4,989 incorporated and
private banking institutions have been received, the aggregate resources
amounting to $3,448,785,4.31, the principal items of assets being $805,901,113, loans on real estate; $413,938,942 on collateral securit}^ other
than real estate; $840,567,612 other loans and discounts; $157,933,522
United States bonds; $327,172,153 State, county, and municipal bonds;
$384,888,905 railroad, bank, and other stocks and bonds; $212,520,844
due from banks and bankers; $85,804,914 real estate, etc.; $165,634,081
cash on hand. The aggregate capital employed amounts to $356,749,315;
surplus and undivided profits, $3.04,624,493; deposits, $2,661,752,961.
Of the 4,989 reports, 2,572 are made by commercial institutions,
classified in this compilation, as State banks, having an aggregate
capital of $208,564,841; surplus and undivided profits, $81,116,533; deposits., $556,637,012.
Eeports from 171 loan and trust companies show their aggregate
resources to be $536,628,202. The capital of these companies is $79,292,889; surplus and undivided profits, $55,503,845; and deposits,
$355,330,080.
Especial interest attaches to the oxoerations and condition of savings
banks, the repositories of the accumulations of the wage-earners, in
,.view of the extent of the obligations of these institutions and partic

lilaiiy as their deposit^ represent nearly 90 per cent of their entire
habilities. Including the 364 stock savings banks, reports of condition
"have been received from 1,011 savings banks and savings institutions.
Of the 647 non-capitalized institutions, classed as mutual, all but 11 are
located in the ITew England and Middle States, while of those with
capital but 28 are to be found in that section, the remainder, 336, being in the Southern and Western States and Territories.
The aggregate resources of all savings banks amount to $1,854,517,069, of which loans on real estate amount to $687,583,977; loans on collateral security other than jeal estate, $93,679,153; and other loans and
discounts, $198,134,045. The following figures represent their investments in bonds, stocks, etc.: In United States bonds, $139,267,045;
State, county, and'manicipal bonds, $320,278,708; in all" other bonds
and stock, $268,994,583. The amount invested in real estate is $30,438,232, and the funds with other banks and cash on hand, $70,660,882 and
$29,720,473, respectively. Of the liabilities of these 1,011 institutions,
$32,106,127 represents their capital, $155,857,493 surplus and undivided
profits, $1,623,079,749 savings deposits, and $31,746,393 other deposits.
The interest paid by mutual institutions ranges from 2 to 4 per cent,
and by stock savings banks from 2 to 6 per cent, the average rate paid
by the latter slightly exceeding, apparently, the rate paid by mutual
institutions, while the deposits held by the mutuals are about 75 i)er
cent of the total deposits in both classes.
Of the 2,500 reports of condition made to this Bureau directly, 1,235
were submitted by private banks and bankers, having an aggregate
capital of $36,785,458; surplus and undivided profits, $12,146,622; deposits, $94,959,727.

LOAN AND TRUST COMPANIES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
During, the first session of the Fiftj^-first Congress an act passed entitled, ^ An act to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan, mortgage,
^
and certain other corporations within the District of Columbia.*' This
act was approved on the 1st day of October, 1890. Under its provisions
companies can be formed for the purpose of carrying on within the District of Columbia any one of the three classes of business specified as
follows:
Eirst. A safe deposit, truvSt, loan, and mortgage business.
Second. A title insurance, loaii^ and mortgage business.
Third. A security, guaranty, indemuitj^, loan, and mortgage business.
It is further provided that the capital stock of said companies shall
not be less than $1,000,000, and that any of these companies may conduct a storage business Avhen its capital stock amounts to the sum of
not less than $1,200,000. .
'
Two methods are provided whereby companies may come under the
provisions of the act.
(1) By an association of not less than twenty-five natural persons
to form a company, which shaU receive its original charter from the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia and thereby become a body
corporate and politic, and as such vested with all the IDO wer s and charged
with all the liabilities conferred and imposed by the act upon companies
organized under the provisions thereof.
(2) Provision is made that any safe deposit company, trust company,
surety or guaranty company, or title insurance company, incorporated
and operating under the laws of the Unitecl States or the District of
Columbia, or of any of the States, and doing business in said District
at the time of the passage of said act, may avail itself of the provisions
of the act.
Ko charters have been issued by the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia to corporations formed by the association of natural persons
under the first method provided for in the act, but three companies, incorporated previous to the passage of the act and at that time doing
business in said District, have availed themselves of its provisions, to
wit: The American Security and Trust Company, the Washington Loan
and Trust Company, and the ]N"ational Safe Deposit Company.
The American Security and Trust Company was originally chartered
under the laws of the State of Yirginia, on the 12th day of October,
1889, with a cai^ital stock of $1,250,000, divided into shares of the par
value of $100 each. This company executed a certificate-of its intention to avail itself of the provisions of the act of Congress, on the 11th
day of November, 1890, and filed the same with the Comptroller of the
Currency. It having comjplied with all the provisions of law applicable thereto, on the 17th of ]^ovember, 1890, the Comptroller issued to
said company the certificate contemplated by section 5 of the act approved October 1, 1890, and the company lias since that date been
oiDerating under its provisions.
398
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The Washington Loan and Trust Company was incorporated under
the laws'^of the State of West Virginia on the 15th day of August, 1889.
"This company has a capital of $1,000,000, divided into shares of $100
each, and was doing business in the District of Columbia at the date
of the passage of the act of Congress above referred to. It having filed
with the Comptroller of the Currency a certificate of its intention to
avail itself of. the provisions of the act aforesaid and having complied
with the other requirements of the act, the Comptroller issued to said
company, on the 13th day of December, 1890, a certificate that it was
entitled to transact the business of a trust company.
The Irrational Safe Deposit Company of Washington was at tlie date
ofthe passage ofthe act of Congress first above mentioned doing buvSiness in the District of Columbia as a safe deposit company, incorporated
by act of Congress approved January 22,1867. On the 17th of March,
1891, this company executed a certificate of its.intention to avail itself
of the provisions of the act of Congress approved October 1,1890. It
having comphed with the provisions of law, the Comptroller issued to
said company, on the 3d day of April, 1891, the certificate contemplated
by the provisions of section 5 of said act, under which it was authori?zed
to enter upon the business of a trust comx3any. I t also has a capital of
$1,000,000. •
Each of these companies has declared its intention to avail itself of
the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid for the purpose of carrying on the kind or class of business described in subdivision 1 of section 1 of said act; that is to say, a safe deposit, trust, loan, and mortgage business, in addition to the powers lawfully exerci'sed at the time
they severally came under the operations of the act of Congress above
referred to. Each of these companies has also deposited with the
Comptroller of the Currency securities equal in actual value to onefourth of the capital stock paid in, and is therefore entitled to become
and act as administrator, executor, guardian of the estate of a minor,
or undertake any other kindred fiduciary duty authorized by the act.
One, the American Security and Trust Company, is also authorized to
do a storage business, in accordance with the second proviso to the
third paragraph of section 1 of the act above referred to«
These several companies have each been duly examined, and have
made and published reports of condition from time to time as contemplated by the provisions of sections 5211,5212, and 5213 of the Eevised
Statutes of the United States, A statement of condition at date of last
report will be found in the Appendix,'* pages 251-253.
Aside from associations formed under the national bank act and
those above enumerated, only one other corporation located in the
District of Columbia comes in any manner under the supervision of the
Comptroller of the Currency.
The institution herein referred to is the lN"ational Savings Bank of the
District of Columbia, This institution was chartered May 24, 1870,
and has since been in operatioHo It is now, however, practicaUy in
process of liquidation, its business being gradually transferred to and
absorbed by the I^^ational Safe Deposit Company, above referred to,
A report of "its condition on the 25th of September is published in the
Appendix,* page 250, which wiU show its condition at that time. I t is
understood to be the purpose of the directors of this bank to complete
the tranfer of its business to the JSTational Safe Deposit Company and
to finally close its afiairs at the earhest practicable date.

CONCLUSION.
During the year covered by the report the country has been passing
through a financial crisis, unique in its character but of great severity.
In no country are the conditions more favorable to the success of well
directed enterprise than in this, and in none can the speculative operator
find a more tempting and fruitful field. These conditions necessarily
tend toward overtrading and undue expansion of credits, and these in
due time result in collapse and general financial distress.
Although periods of business disaster follow each other at reasonably
well-defined intervals, the multitude, oblivious of the past, are always
taken unawares. Those charged with the manageinent of national
banks are not free from the optimistic spirit which characterizes their
fellows, and hence the associations under their control invariably suffer
whenever these periods of depression recur. • The failures witnessed
during the year just closed exemplify the operations of the forces to
which allusion is made.
Whenever we consider the immense shrinkage of values which the
hquidations bf the past twelve months involves, Ave are .surprised that,
the associations constituting the national system have not suffered more
severely. The growth of this system in recent years must not be overlooked when we are called m^on to consider the degree of success that
has attended its operations.
It is rapidly becoming popularized and for that reason more intimately
connected with the business enterprises of the common people, reflecting with increasing faithfulness the degree of success or failure that attends their various commercial and industrial pursuits. So long as
banliing remains fxee, associations will be formed by inexperienced men
whose management wUl sometimes prove unskiUful and disastrous. So
long as dishonest men exist banks must not expect to entirely escape
the defalcations and embezzlements which occasionally startle the public. Eailures are inevitable under any system which stops short of governmental guaranty, and the latter is, of course, impracticable. That
system, then, is best, all else being equal, which is found upon trial to
exhibit the minimum of failures. In this respect, the national system
stands unapproached and indisputably suxierior to all which.have preceded it. If is confidently hoped therefore that such measures wiU be
taken by Congress as will serve to perfect a system which has proved
so effective in the past, and which is so necessary to the future welfare
of the people.
The Comptroller desires in closing to say that the past year has devolved upon the Currency Bureau an amount of labor and responsibility
which is entirely unprecedented. To those associated with him in the
conduct ofthe affairs ofthe Office he is greatly indebted for the intelligent
and faithful service which has made it possible to meet these increased
responsibilities. He also desires to gratefnlly acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered him by those charged with the preparation
of the statistical matter contained in this report.

COLLECTIONS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.
I estimate that the receipts from all sources of internal revenue will
aggregate $150,000,000 for the current fiscal year.
In order that the receipts shall reach this figure there Avill liaA^e to be
a very considerable increase in the collections fr'om distilled spirits,
fermented liquors, and cigars. During the first six months of the current fiscal year there AVIII be a decrease of about $2,500,000 in the tax
received from manufactured tobacco and snuff, as compared with the
same period of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890. In my last annual
report I estimated that the reduction in the receipts from manufactured
tobacco, for the six months ending June 30, 1891,Vould amount to
$2,290,685.17. The actual decrease was as follows: •
One hundred and nineteen millions nine hundred and ninety-one
thousand scA^en hundred and fifty-nine pounds of tobacco were tax-paid
at 6 cents per pound from January 1, to June 30,1891, upon which the
reduction of 2 cents per pound aniounted to $2,399,835.18.
I also estimated that the reduction in the receipts from snuff for tlie
six months would be $92,216.41, but 5,253,008 pounds of snuff were taxIDaid at 6 cents per pound from January 1 to June 30, 1891, and the reduction of the tax UIDOH this quantity from 8 to 6 cents per pound
resulted in a decrease in the receipts from this source of reA^enue of
$105,060.16.
.
The aggregate decrease in the receipts fr'om manufactured tobacco
and snuff* for the six months ended June 30, 1891, A\^as $2,504,895.34.
Taking these figures, as a basis, it is probable that the reduction of
the tax on manufactured tobacco and snuff from 8 to 6 cents per pound
will decrease the receipts from this source about $5,000,000 annually.
1 also estimated in my last report that 500,000 gallons of grape
brandy, free of tax, would be required to fortif}^ sweet wines, under the
provisions of the act of October IJ 1890. The vintage season had commenced, however, before the passage of that act, and the provisions of
the law were not fully understood, so that the wine producers did not
use as much grape brandy as was anticipated. The actual number of
gallons of grape brandy used in the fortification of SAveet wines during
the fiscal year ended June 30,1891, was 193,557, the tax upon Avhich, at
90 cents per gallon, would have amounted to $174,201.30.
I t is probable that about double the above quantity of grape brandy
will be used for the fortification of SAveet wines during the current fiscal
year.

NOTE.—The decrease in the receipts from snufF, chewing and smoking tobacco, is due to the reduction
of the tax on the same, January 1, 1891, from 8 to 6 cents per pound. Special taxes relating to tobacco
were repealed May 1,1891. The act of October 1,1890, provides that all special taxes shall oecome due
on the hrst day of July, 1891, and on the first day of Jnly in each year thereafter, or on commencing any
trade or business on which sucJi tax is imposed. The effect of this provision was to postpone the collection of the bulk of special taxes from May and June, 1891, to July and August, 1891, or from the
last quarter of the fiscal year 1891 to the first quarter o f t h e fiscal year 1892. Hence the apparent
decrease in the receipts from special taxes relating to distilled sjiirits, fermented liquors, and oleomargarine as compared Avith the receipts from the same sources for 1890.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
COST OF COLLECTION.
The cost of collection for the past fiscal year, distributed among the
different items of appropriation, was approximately as follows:
For salaries and expenses of collectors, including pay of deputy col^
lectors, clerks, etc., and including expenses incident to enforcing the
provisions of law taxing oleomargarine
$1,' 761,157. 70
For sala'ries and exipenses of revenue agents, surveyors of distilleries,
gaugers, storekeepers, and miscellaneous expenses
2,103,451.58
For jDaper for internal-revenue stamps
45, 575. 90
For expenses of detecttug and punishing violations of internal-revenue
laws
35, 762.15
For salaries of officers,-clerks, and employes ia the office of Commis- .
sioner of Internal Revenue
'259, 708.16
•Total..
In addition to the foregoing there was also paid from-a specific appropriation made for this purpose, for expenses incident to carrying
into effect the provisions of the act of Octoher 1, 1890, relating to
the payment of bounty on sugar produced, the sum of
Making the total amount expended
4,205,655.49
4, 948. 67
4,210, 604.16
The percentage of the cost of collection is 2.88 per cent.
The expenses for the previous fiscal year were $4,095,110.80, being
2.82 per cent, of the collections.
The amount appropriated for salaries and expenses of agents, gaugers,
storekeejiers, etc., was $2,100,0.00, while, owing to the increased number
'of distilleries in operation resulting, in an increase in the amount of
taxes collected froin spirits of more than $3,000,000, as compared with
the previous year, as shown in this report, the actual expenses for this
purpose were $3,451.58 more than the amount appropriated, as shoA\ni
by unjjaid accounts now on file, and for which an additional appropriation will be needed.
In the above statement of cost of collection there is included a very
considerable amount of money expended in the i)reparatiOn of the regulations, and other expenses incident to the enforcement of the law. in
relation to the payment of the bounty on sugar.
These items are so connected with the other expenditures of this
Bureau as to render it impracticable to separate them. In addition to
this, there were gauged 193,557 gallons of grape brandy used in the
fortification of sweet wines upon which no tax was iiaid, and a number
of deputy collectors and other officers were necessarily employed in
superAasing the delivery of this brandy to the wine-makers. These
sums should properly be deducted from the cost of collection, and it
they could be separated the percentage of cost of collection for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1891, would be very materially reducedo
MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES,
The act of Congress approved August 7, 1882, making proAnlsion for
sundry civil expenses for the year ending June 30, 1883, required the
Commissioner of Internal EcA^enue to make a detailed statement of all
miscellaneous expenditures in the Bureau of Internal Eevenue for Avhich
appropriation was made in that act. In accordance Avith this requirement, I submit the following detailed statement of miscellaneous expenses incurred:
Express charges on'public moneys forwarded by collectors and deputy
collectors to the depositories

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
GENERAL CONDITION OF THE OFFICE AND THE SERVICE.
A t the close o f t h e year ended June 30, 1891, 201 officers, clerks,
messengers, and laborers were employed in this Bureau, and the aggregate amount paid during the year for their salaries was $259,708.16.
I take great pleasure in bearing witness to the fidelity, diligence, and
accuracy of the officers, clerks, and employes of this Bureau during
the past fiscal year. The work of the office is in a most excellent condition, and as fully up to date as practicable, and all business has been
promptly and accurately transacted.
The examinations of the offices of collectors, which have been had as
often as it was possible with the force of revenue agents at my command, show them to be generally in good condition._ I t is on account
of the i^romptness, industry, and efficiency of the collectors and their
subordinates to a large degree that the collections during the past
fiscal year were so largely increased, and by their diligence and economy that the expense of collection was reduced.
In addition to the regular Avork of the Bureau the officers and clerks
in this office have examined 29,427 claims for the payment of rebate on
tobacco, etc., arising under the i^rovisions of the act of October 1,1890.
Many of these claims involved considerable sums of money, and their
examination and verification required a large amount of extra work,
which was distributed among the different divisions of the office and
performed Avith fidelity and dispatch. For several months prior to the
close of the fiscal year three clerks were kept constantly employed in
the work preparatory for the i)ayment of a bounty on sugar, as i:)rovided
for by the act of October 1, 1890. The use of grape brandy for the
fortification of sweet wines has also added largely to the clerical work
of the office. In considering the entire work performed by the force in
. this office I regard their yearns labor as most praiseworthy indeed.
SCALE OF SALARIES OF COLLECTORS,
The recommendations made for the salaries of collectors are based
upon an estimate of their probable collections according to the folloAving scale, with the qualification that if the actual collections should
vary from the amounts estimated the salaries will be readjusted at the

MANUFACTURE OF STAMP P A P E R .
On the 25th day of March, 1891, sealed proposals Avere inAdted from
manufacturers for supplying paper of prescribed quahty and finish to
be used in the printing of internal-revenue stamps for the present fiscal
year. But one bid Avas received, thaU of the Fairchild Paper Oonipany,
of Boston, Mass. The coinmittee appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury to consider the bids met at 12 o^clock m. on the 4th day of
May, 1891, and in presence of a representative of the Fairchild Paper
Company opened the bid, and after consultation decided to recommend
its acceptance. The rate at which the company proposed to manufacture the paper was 6.1 cents per pound, a reduction of 0.2 cent per
])Ound from last year's contract price. The contract Avas awarded to
the Fairchild Paper Company under date of June 8,1891, and the work
thereunder was begain July 13, following. I t is estimated that not
less than 700,000 pounds of paper will be required under the present
contract in order that a six months' stock may be assured at the close
of operations.
STAMP PRODUCTION.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing supplies all internal-revenue
stamps required by law, with the exception of those imprinted on tinfoil wrappers for certain manufactures of tobacco. These last are furnished by the John J. Crooke Company, of New York, under contract,
Avithout cost to the Government, the contractor being ^compensated by
the ma^nufacturers. Under the terms of the contract the Crooke Comliany reimburses the Government in full for the aggregate salaries paid
one United States stamp agent and one counter, amounting to $2,500
per year. These salaries are reimbursed monthly.
CLAIMS FOR REDEMPTION BARRED BY STATUTE.
One hundred and forty-eight applications and inquiries for redemption of check and proprietary stamps Avere received during the year.
These claims varied in amounts from a few cents to $32. Being barred
by statute, the claims were rejected and the stamps returned to claimants. The seventy-eight claims noted in previous reports as being
made up without sufficient data are not yet disposed of. I would suggest the adojition of some measure for final disposition of these cases,
in order that they may be omitted from subsequent reports. They
were ncA^er in proper condition for adjudication, since some were made
up without claims to accompany stamps and some without stamps to
accompany claims, and in neither case could claimants be identified.
OFFICIAL COUNT OF STAMPS IN VAULT.
December 22,1890, a committee of three, representing the Secretary's
Office, the Comptroller's Office, and-the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
respectiAT^ely, Avas appointed to superintend the counting of the internalrevenue stamps in the A^aults of this Bureau. The vaults were i^laced
in charge of the committee on the morning of December 29 following,
Avhen the count began, a special force of counters and laborers having
been designated for the puriDose. State'ments shoAving by classes and
denominations the balances of stamps on hand December 26,1889, the
receipts and deli Aperies thereafter and the balances on hand December
29, 1890, Avere fiirnished by the Division of L/oans and Currency, Sepre

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
tary's Office, and th^e count of stamj)s, which closed on the evening of
December 31, was found to agree ,in every respect therewith, and
showed that all the stamps with Avhich the Commissioner was charged
A¥ere x^ropeiiy accounted for. The summary given by the committee
shows that there Avere on hand December 26,1889 (the date of previous
count), 78,865,617 stamps of all clenominations. There were received
from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and fi^om collectors for reissue, during the period from December 26, 1889, to December 29,1890,
820,138,024 stamps, making .a total to be accounted for of 899,003,641
stamps. There were dehA^ered for issue, reissue, and destruction, during the same period, 876,066,300 stamps, leaving a balance to be accounted for December 29, 1890, of 22,937,341 stamps, which, by actual
eount, were found to be in the vaults on that date. The decrease in
the balance on hand, as compared with the previous annual count, is
accounted for in the fact that the issues of all denominations of stamps
during the period mentioned was, in about the degree of the difference
noted, in excess of the receipts from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing.
The committee in charge of the vaults carefnlly verified the accounts
of the bookkeepers of the division, and found that they agreed in all
respects with those of the Secretary's office.
The fact that nearly one billion of stamps were received and issued
by the Office of Internal Eevenue without loss dnring the past year
was noted by the coinmittee as indicating ^ the h ghest efficiency and
^
integrity on the part of the officers charged Avith the responsible duty,
and that the system by Avhich this result has been accomplished is well
calculated to protect the interests of the Government in this important
branch of the service."
ACT OF OCTOBER 1. 1890.
Under the proAdsions of the act of Congress approved October 1,
1890, the special-tax year was made to. begin Avith the fiscal year,
the law to take eifect July 1, 1891. Provision was therefore made for
-the extension of all special-tax stamps, issued May 1, 1890, and thereafter of that series, to COA^er the business of purchasers for the months
of May and June, 1891, by the issuance of certificates of extension,
, numbered in regular sequence and describing in each, by serial number
and otherwise, the particular stamp, for extension of which it was issued.
By reference to tabular statement of stamps issued it will be seen that
there Avere sent to collectors during the period ft'om Ax)ril 10 to June
30, 1891, 222,538 of these certificates, aggregating in value $1,131,740.
Under the same act the special taxes heretofore imposed upon dealers
. in manufactured tobacco, dealers in leaf tobacco, retail dealers in leaf
tobacco, manufacturers of tobacco, manufacturers of cigars, and. peddlers
of tobacco were abolished, Avith the provision that all such mannfacturers and dealers, with the exception of dealers in manufactured tobacco, should register with the collectors their names, places of business, etc., the same as though the tax had not been repealed, prescribing a penalty of $50 for neglect or refusal to comply with the requirement. For the protection of those Avho might desire to register in
either of the occupations enumerated, certificates of registry were provided for issue through the collectors, in the same manner as specialtax stamps are issued, to all applicants regularly registered. There
were 61,160 of all classes of these certificates issued to collectors prior

to June 30, of the present year, many of these having been consumed
for the registry of dealers for the period of tAvo months ending June 30.
The foregoing certificates, as well as the certificates of extension,
were famished by the Government Printing Office.
The reduction of 2 cents per pound in the tax on tobacco necessitated
the return to the office by collectors of all the stamps ofthe series of 1883
in their hands at the close of business December 31, 1890, and their reissue at the rate of 6 cents per xiound. To accomplish this, all these
stamps were received into A^ault, and the sheet and strip stamps,
together Avith those of same class and denomination in stock, Avere forwarded to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and were there properly imj)rinted. The coupon stamps returned and those in stock were
imprinted by the use of hand stamps under the supervision„of a special
committee appointed for that purpose by the Secretary of the Treasury.
^ I t is proper to say that the increased labor im|)osed by this reduction
in the tax, and by the introduction of the certificates of extension, the
certificates of registry, and. a stamp Av^ith tAvo coupons for issue to
special-tax payers A^ho began busiHess in May and June, 1891, was accomplished successfully, and the accounts accurately kept, without a
moment's delay in the current work and without additions to the clerical
force.
There haA^e been added to the stock of stamps regularly kept in vault
since July 1, 1890, the following new classes and denominations: {a)
Fortified osweet wine; (b) fortified wine for exportation; (c) transfer
sta°mp for grape brandy; (d) export stamp for fermented liquors; (e)
12s cigar stamps; (/) 13s cigar stamps; (g) cigarette stamps, rate $3
per thousand; (h) stamps for prepared smoking opium; also, certificates
of registry. In addition, for use this year only, were the special-tax
stamps with two coupons for issue to purchasers who desired to begin
business in May and June, and the certificates of extension, both'being
mentioned elsewhere in this report.
STAMPS DESTROYED IN TRANSIT.
On the 28th day of April, 1891, a wreck occurred on the Baltimore
and Ohio Eailroad, which involved the total destruction of internalrevenue stamps, in transit by registered mail, ofthe face value of $29,505. The stamps consisted of tax-paid spirits stamps ofthe denomination
of 100 gallons, value $29,430, and 20,000 one-ounce tobacco stamps, value
$75, all mailed to Collector Wilcox, of the eighth Illinois district. In addition, there were destroyed two books of 200 stamps each of rectifiers'
stamps, denomination 40 gallons (of no face value), shipped to Collector
McDowell, of the seventh Kentucky district. The destruction of the
stamps necessitated a second requisition by the coUectors, and the destroyed stamps stand charged to the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue,
and are unaccounted for in the accounts of the Bureau.
There is no provision of law authorizing the accounting officers of the
Treasury Department to credit the accounts of the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue Avith stamps destroyed under such circumstances, and
it will be necessary for Congress to pass a special act authorizing the
accounting officers to give credit for this loss. I therefore have the
honor to ask that you will recommend the necessary legislation on the
part of Congress to obtain such credit.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
TOBACCO DIVISIOlir.
The aggregate amount of taxes collected from tobacco during the last
fiscal year was $32,796,270.97. This amount includes internal-reA^enue
taxes paid by stamps on imported and manufactured tobacco, snufi',
cigars, and cigarettes.
The decrease of collections for the last fiscal year as compared with
those for the previous fiscal year was $1,162,720.09. This is due to the
reduction by the act of October 1, 1890, of the tax on snufi", chewing
and smoking tobacco, January 1, 1891, from 8 to 6 cents per pound,
and to the repeal of special taxes relating to tobacco. May 1, 1891.
The tax on cigars and cigarettes was not changed, and the collections
therefrom were increased $1,386,650.39 during the last fiscal year.

DISCONTINUING- THB USE OF CAUTION LABELS.
I beg to recommend that sections 3364 and 3393 of the Eevised Statutes be repealed.
Section 3364 requires every manufacturer of tobacco or snuff', in addition to all other requirements of law relating to tobacco, to print on
each package, or securely affix by pasting on each package containing
tobacco or snuff*manufactured by him or lor him, a label on Avhich shaU
be printed the number of the factory, the district, and State in which it
is situated, and these words:
NOTICE. The manufacturer of this tobacco has complied with all the requirements
of law. Every person is cautioned under the penalties of law not to use this package for tobacco again.
Every manufacturer of tobacco who neglects to print on or affix such
label to every package containing tobacco made by him or for him, or
sold or off'ered for sale by him, and every person Avho removes any such
label so affixed from any such package shall be fined $50 for each package.
.
•
Section 3393 provides that every manufacturer of cigars shall securely
affix by pasting on each box containing cigars manufactured by him or
for him a label, on Avhich shall be printed, besides the number ofthe
factory, and district, and State, in which it is situated, these words;
NOTICE. The manufacturer of t h e cigars herein contained has complied with all
the requirements of law. Every person is cautioned not to use either this box for
cigars again or the stamp thereon again, nor to remove the contents of this box without destroying said stamp, under the penalties provided by law in such cases.
The penalty for violation of this section is $50 for each box.
I t will be observed that these notices are required to be given by the
manufacturers of tobacco, snuff', and cigars. They are required to declare that they have complied with all the requirements of law and also
to state what the law is as to the re-use of packages and stamps, and to
caution the public against the re-use of the package or stamp or the
removal of the contents without destroying the stamp. If it were
thought necessary that a caution of this kind should be given the public, and that notice should be given declaring that the manufacturer had
complied with law, it is submitted that that notice and caution should
be given by the proper revenue officer. JSTeither of these sections
imposes any penalty except one for faihng to give the notice and for
removing same. Whatever may have been the necessity for giving
public notice of any of the provisions of internal-revenue law at the
time that the internal-reA^enue law was enacted, there seems to be no
further reason for it, the system having been in existence for many
years.
In addition to that, I am of the opinion that the caution notice is
placed upon packages in such a manner that but few people read it.
I am clearly of the opinion that both of these sections are wholly unnecessary; that they require manufacturers to incur needless expense,
and add to the petty penalties with Avhich the system is overburdened.
THE TABULAR STATEMENTS.
In the tables* annexed AdlPbe found statements showing the manner
in which the manufacturing is distributed through the different States,
the number of persons and firms engaged in each of the two branches
of manufacturing, the quantity of different kinds of material used, and
* See note, foot of p. —.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
the quantity and kind of products manufactured. These tables are
compiled from the reports received from collectors of internal revenue
of the transactions of manufacturers in their several districts for the
calendar year ended Decembibr 31, 1890, a period of time diff'ering from
the fiscal year, which will account for any apparent discrepancies between them and the prcAdous part of the report relating to tobacco.
There were in Kew York City thirty-six persons who qualified and
kept books as tobacco manufacturers solely for the x^nrpose of lawfully
dealing in the refuse scraps, clippings, cuttings, and waste made by
cigar manufacturers. They sort, sieve, and pack this material and export most of it to foreign countries. The rest they sell in bulk, under
permits, to other manufacturers, who manipulate it and pack and sell
their product as smoking tobacco. During the year 1890 they purchased 1,455,378 pounds of such material and exported and sold 1,388,060 pounds. These purchases and sales are not included in the tabular
statement, because they did not pack and sell any of this tobacco for
use and consumption.

COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL

REVENUE.
SMOKING OPIUM.
Under the act of October 1, 1890, section 36, a tax of $10 per pound
Avas ICAded upon all opium manufactured in the IJnited States for smoking purposes.
Proper regulations, blanks, forms, records, bonds, stamps, etc., have
been prepared in accordance with the terms of said act, but no persons
qualified as manufacturers of opium during the fiscal year, and except
the issuing by this office of proper stamps, records, blanks, etc., to the
collector of the first district of California, there is at present nothing to
report in connection with the legitimate manufacture of opium in the
United States under the provisions of said act.
In order to make this law effective several amendments will be required, among which one forfeiting illicit factories, and also duly authorized factories where there is any serious violation of the law. I t should
also be made a penal otfense to remove stamps, to re-use stamps, or to
have in possession stamps that have once been used. In addition to
this, I would suggest that Congress be requested to farther amend the
act by requiring all dealers in crude opium to keep such books and to
make such returns as the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, may direct.

WEiaHING- DISTILLED SPIRITS.
The expediency of ascertaining the quantity of distilled spirits subject
to tax, by means of weighing, has engaged my attention during the past
year, ana I have caused a number of experiments to be made, some of
which I have personally supervised, to test the relative merits of
weighing, and of gauging, as methods of finding the true quantities, and
to determine the practicability of the former for use under the internalrevenue system.
The defects of gauging as an exact measure of the contents of packages have long ^been apparent, and have occasioned many difliculties
in obtaining the full and correct amounts of tax due, and in guarding
against intentional evasions of liability. Gauging is at best but an
approximate way of finding the holding contents of a perfect cask,
made upon true lines, and of material of an even thickness. When the
curves of the cask differ from those upon which the mathematics of
gauging are based, or its staves or heads are not of a uniform and established thickness, then gauging is further at fault and its results
still more unreliable. Even when the capacity of a cask has been
found with reasonable correctness, there still remains another measurement to be made to determine the portion of that capacity not occupied
by spirits, if the package be not full, as for reasons of expansion it can
not well be^ and when the apparent volume of spirits has thus been

439
found, a calculation must still be made to find thej true volume at a
temperature of 60^ F., whenever the spirits are gauged at any other
temperature. These several steps must be taken to obtain the wine
gallons upon which the proof gallons are to be still further calculated.
Besides the liability to error in any one or in all;of these processes,
there is necessitated, in order to avoid delay, a constant dropping of
fractions, or taking of the n§xt higher gallon, which, in theory, offset
each other, but in practice are usually against a true result.
Moreover, tlie performance of these various operaitions is a lengthy
one, requiring a considerable time to insure the degree of accuracy obtainable, and thus compelling the employment of a large number of
officers to discharge the duties with the promptness which the business
demands.
|
.
By the system of weighing, on the other hand,' the scales record
quickly and with unfailing accuracy the gross weight of spirits and of
containing cask; and the ascertained empty weight, of the cask being
deducted, the precise number of pounds weight of the spirit contents
remains. '
^
;
After taking the proof, or alcoholic strength, of the spirits, the exact
equivalent, in wine gallons, of the pounds weight is obtainable by ai3p]ying thereto the factor arising from the known weight of a gallon, of
water and the specific gravity of spirits of the ascertained proof.
This calculation is easily tabulated for ready use for any number of ^
pounds of spirits of any degree of proof.
'
From the wine gallons so found the proofgallons follow by the simple
application of the proof thereto.
;
This method of finding the true volume of spirits avoids ^11 difficulties
arising from the shape or dimensions of packages', or from their ullage
or wantage, as well as from variations in the bulk of spirits -due to temperature, and appears to be superior to the present method of gauging
in every feature of lucility, convenience, and accuracy.
I t can be readily acquired, calling for little skill beyond the ability
to read the scales and to ascertain proof correctly. \ I t seems probable
that it will so far facilitate the labors of gaugers as to materially lessen
the number of officers of ihis class necessary for the performance of
their duties.
'
•
As to the entire practicability of substituting weighing for gauging
I chave taken the opinion of a large number of men > experienced in the
production or handling of distilled spirits, and the I predominating expression on the part of intelligent persons who have given any thought
to this matter is distinctly in its favor.
'
In view of these .considerations, I have decided^ after consultation
with yourself and with your approval, and under \ the authority, conferred upom me by section 3249 of the United States Eevised Statutes, to-prescribe the use ofthe scales in place ofthe gauge rod at distilleries and, so far as applicable, at rectifying houses j retaining the
rod for use in gauging packages of rectified spirits whose true proof is
not ascertainable owing to the presence of saccharine or other matter
in the spirits; and under other circumstances when the use of the
scales may not be feasible.
;
•
For this purpose I have had tables prepared in this office for use, as
above indicated, in connection with the scales, and for the ascertainment of the proof gallons as well as the wine gallons, and I am now
preparing regulations to establish the new system. |
I have also, with your approval, contracted with the Fairbanks Company, which upon advertisement was the only bidder, to fnrnish at the
expense ofthe United States twenty-three hundred scales or weighing

beams, with poises and barrel hooks—a sufficient number, I judge, for
the present, and perhaps for a considerable period.
The cost of these scales, at $10 each, with the appurtenances, will, I
am confident, be much more than compensated within no great space
of time by a reduction in the expense of gangers' fees, relative to the
number of gallons gauged, and, besides, by a large addition to the
amount of tax collected, due to greater accuracy, although such addition
can not perhaps be definitely estimated. ^
D I S P E N S I N a W I T H G^AUGINO SPIRITS OUT FROM R E O T I F Y I N a HOUSES,
Section 3320 of the Revised Statutes requires that ^ Whenever any
^
cask or package of rectified spirits containing five wine-gallons or more is
filled for shipment, sale, or delivery, on the premises of any rectifier who
has paid the special tax required by law, it shall be the duty of the
United States gauger to gauge and inspect the same, and to place
thereon an engraved stamp, signed by the collector of the district and
the said gauger, which s|iall state the date when affixed, and the number
of proof-gaUons,'' etc. When this stamp is attached the package is placed
upon the market. The stamp is, of course, expected to show the proof
of the contents of the package, but inasmuch as rectified spirits are very
frequently compounded by the addition of saccharine substances it is
impossible to accurately determine the proof thereof.: The proof of spirits
is obtained by the use of a hydrometer, but where any substance is
mingled with the spirits which has a greater specific gravity than water
and alcohol, the hydrometer will n ot register the proof. Iri all such cases
the gauger is compelled to take the statement of the rectifier as to the
strength of the siDirits. When spirits are entered into a rectifying house
and dumped they are gauged before any rectification takes place. Such
spirits hav'e also been gauged at least once before at the distillery, and
as the surveillance exercised by. the Government over rectifying houses
is simply to prevent frauds (there being no additional tax on rectified
spirits), it is, in my opinion, unnecessary to attemjDt to regauge spirits
after they have passed through a rectifying house.
First, because I think it is unnecessary as a protection against fraud;
and, secondly, because whenever any saccharine matter has been
added to the spirits it is impossible to ascertain their proof. During
the past fiscal year 71,220,Q31 gallons of rectified spirits were gauged,
involving a large amount of work, which cost the Government a very
large sum of money. I am of the opinion that the interests of the service
do not require this expenditure, and therefore suggest that Congress
be asked to make the necessary amendments to the law dispensing with
the gauging of spirits out from rectifying houses, tod providing in lieu
thereof that the rectifier be required to report to the collector of internal revenue the number of gallons so rectified and the proof thereof,
and to place a stamp uiion the package showing the serial number of
the package from which it was taken, the manufacturer thereof, and such
other facts as shaU be required by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
with your approval, and imposing a fine for a failure to make such report
or affix such stamp. Of the Eevised Statutes, sections .3317 and 3318
would be indirectly affected, and sections 3320 and 3323 directly affected
by such amendments.
By substituting the system of weighing for the present system of
gauging for the purpose of ascertaining the contents of a package of
distilled spirits, and by dispensing with regauging out of rectifying
houses, it is believed that the expenses of gauging wiU be reduced to
the minimiuiiLo

An inspection of the above table shows that the quantity of spirits
in distillery warehouses June 30,1891, is the largest quantity so held at
the close of any fi seal year. This ^ stock on hand has grown from 61
millions in 1888 to 68.5 millions in 1889, to 89,7 millions in 1890, and
finally to the above quantity, nearly 113 millions, in 1891.
The increase during the last two years was 44.4 millions, but this increinent has been twice exceeded, once from 1879 to 1881, when the
increase was more" than 45.4 millions, and from 188() to 1882, when it
was nearly 58,6 millions.
I t appears from reports recently received that while the quantity of
spirits in distillery warehouses September 30, 1890, was 85,106,670 gallons, or more'^ than 4.6 millions less than the quantity therein June 30,
1890, the quantity in warehouse September 30, 1891, was 104,810,892
gallons, or more than 8.1 millions less than the quantity so held June
30, 1891. I t i s noted also that this increased reduction is due to decrease in production during July, Augnst, and September, 1891, rather
than to increased tax-paid withdrawals, the qantity withdrawn taxpaid during these three months being nearly 1,000,000 gallons less than
the quantity so withdrawn during.July, August, and September, 1890.
DISTILLED SPIRITS IN THE UNITED STATES OCTOBER 1, 1891.
The quantity of distilled spirits in the United States, except wha.t
ma;y be in customs bonded warehouses, on the 1st day of October, 1891,
was 152,945,773 gallons, this quantity being distributed as follows:

; FORTIFICATION OF WINES WITH aRApE BRANDY FREE OF TAX.
:
Under the provisions of sections 42 to 49, inclusive, of the act entitled
"An act to Teduce revenue and equalize duties onimports, and for other
purposes," approved October 1, 1890, pirovision is iria&e for .the fortification with grape brandy, free of tax, of pure sweet wine, and of wine
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE.

intended for exportation. iN'o limitations are prescribed as to the character of the wines intended for exportation, but certain limitations are
specified as to the pure sweet wine evidently designed to avoid the use
of the brandy in fortifying Avines other than pure sweet Avines. The
limitations are those - requiring that the foitification be done oh the
winery where the grapes are crushed and the grape juice is expressed
and fermented; that there must be no additions to the natural wine of
any other substance, and that the addition of the brandy shall be for
the preservation of the saccharine matter contained therein. The law
also contains limitations to the efi'ect that the wine to be fortified shall
not contain less than'4 per cent, of sugar;, that the wine spirits added
shall not introduce alcohol to exceed 14 per cent., and that the wine shall
not contain more than 24 per cent, of alcohol, these percentages of alcohol being computed by volume and on the volumes of the wine after
fortification.
*
The law limits the use of wine spirits or brandy to the. months of
August to April, inclusive; allows the wine producer who is also a distiller to use the grape brandy produced by him to fortify his wine, and
authorizes the withdrawal of grape brandy from special bonded warehouse to fortify wine.
Authority is given to the Commissioner oflnternal Eevenue, with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, to prescribe bonds, stamps,
seals, and necessary regulations.
As the law could not take effect until the regulations were prescribed,
and was passed in the midst of the wine season, it was found necessary
to adopt certain existing blank forms and stamps to be used until the
new forms and stamps could be prepared. I t A¥as also found necessary
to adopt a method of determining the alcoholic strength of the wine by "
the use of BaUings^s saccharometer, as it Avas impossible at such short
notice to secure and test the needed distilling apparatus, including hydrometers.
The regulations were issued during the month in which the law was
passed, and required a seal to be affixed over the bung of each cask of
fortified'wine.
The qtlantity of grape brandy used in fortifying wines under the act
of October 1, 1890, was 193,557 tax gallons, all but 2,128 gallons being
derived directly from distilleries. The kinds of wine fortified were port,
angelica, muscat, sherry, malaga, and tokay, the quantity of fortified
wine produced being 1,083,274 gallons.
The quantity of brandy used and of each kind of wine fortified uj)
to April 30,1891, in each district, is shoAYU in the folloAving table:

A t the close of the season the regulations gOA^erning the fortification
of Avines were revised so as to embody tables made and decisions rendered from time to time, as necessity required.
The rcA^ised regulations also remoA^ed the obligation to affix seals,
substituting a fortifying room, to be under lock and seal, as a simpler
safeguard. These regulations are in force during the present wine season, which commenced August 1, 1891.
The quantity of AAdne fortified during the months of August and September, 1891, is as folloAvs:

It appears upon comparing thefigure%in the foregoing tables with
similar tables published in my report for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1890, that there was an increase in the exportations of 1891 over those
of 1890, as to tobacco and cigarettes, and a decrease as to cigars, as
follows:

JSTeither the increase as to tobacco nor the decrease as to cigars is
very great, but the increase as to cigarettes is remarkable and brings
the quantity exported during the year ended June 30,1891, up to nearly
300,000,000. The business of exporting cigarettes has grown during the
past ten years as follows:

REPORT ON THE FTNANCES.
Each special-tax year has lieretofore ended Aj)ril 30. By act of Congress^ approved October 1,1890, each special-tax year AYas tiiereafter to
commence July 1, and end June 30, folloAviiig; in other words, the specialtax year was from and after July 1, 1891, to conform to the fiscal year.
Hence the montbs of May and Jnne in the year 1891, only, belong to
no regular special-tax year, and by the act referred to they were constituted a special-tax period. The following table is designed to shoAv
the situation AYith regard to the number and location of n^anufacturers
and-wholesale dealers in the closing month of that period.
FIELD SERVICE WITH THE INTERNAL-REVENUE MICROSCOPE.
During the year not only Avas th^ practice continued by deputy collectors of canvassing the districts with internal-reA^enue microscopes
for the purpose of examining specimens of prodncts exposed for sale as
butter, with a view to ascertain whether the substances were really
oleomargarine, but all extensiA^e special canvass of this nature A ^s
Aa
made, induced by the belief of this office that there' was more oleomargarine on the market not marked, branded, and stamped as required
bylaw, than had been previously supposed. Although the extent of
the work in certain districts fell soineAvhat short of the expectations of
this office, the result on the whole was rather satisfactory. The per
cent, of products discovered not marked, branded, and stamped, as required by law, was about eight in every thousand samples exainined.
This being nearly^double the per cent, of last year is confirmatory of
the belief above alluded to and fairly illustratiA^e of the improA^ed efii-'
ciency in the field service of the use of the microscope. The experience
bf this office, hoAYCver, is that there is not so much evasion of the payment of the pound.tax on oleomargarine as of the payment o^ S]3ecial
tax of dealers in the product.
The following table of production and total receipts from all oleomargarine sources for each fiscal year since ISToA^ember 1,1886, the date the
oleomargarine law took effect, is interesting as showing the extent of
operations in the country:

I t will be seen that the iaroduction for the fiscal year, for which this
report is submitted, is the largest in the history of oleomargarine operations, exceeding-the largest i3revious production by 8,728,383 pounds;
and in receipts exceeding the greatest prcAdous record by $183,676.23.
The increase in production over last year was 12,068,377 pounds; in
receipts, $291,632.42.
. STATE AND TERRITORIAL LAAVS RELATIVE TO OLE(3MAROARTNE.

to receive advice from "-Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiaua, Mississix3pi, South Carolina, Texas, and/Washington the summaries of the
oleomargarine laws of these States, or remarks concerning the subject,
were based upon information receiA^ed up to and including E^oyember,

BOUNTY ON SUGAR.
The act of October 1,1890 (26 Stat., 567), entitled ^^An act to reduce
the revenue and equalize duties on imports, and for other purposes,"
provides—
'
That on and after J u l y ^first, eighteen hundred and ninety-one, and until J u l y
first, nineteen hundred and five, there shall be paid, from an^^ moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, under the proA^sions of section three thousand six
hundred and eighty-nine of the Revised Statutes, to the producer of sugar testing
not less t h a n ninety degrees by the polariscope, from beets, sorghum, or sugar cane
grown Avithin the United States, or from maple sap j)roduced within the United
States, a bounty of two cents per j^ound; and upon such sugar testing less thcail ninety
degrees by the polariscope, and not less than eighty degrees, a bounty of one aiid
three-fourths cents per poiind, under such rules and regulations as the Commissioner of internal Revenue, wdth the "approval of the Secretary of the Treasury,
shall prescribe.

dicial expenses of the G-OA^^ernment for the fiscal j^ear eh din g June 30,
1892, aud for other purposes (act of March 3, 1891), authorized the
Commissioner to employ not to exceed 12 inspectors, at a salary not
exceeding $5 per day and necessary expenses, whose duty it should be
to inspect sugar upon which a bounty is required to be paid, to aid
in ascertaining the amount of bounty due thereon, and to perform such
other duties as may be required by the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue; and the sum of $36,000 was appropriated for that purpose.
An increase of $165,000 was made in the same act in the appropriations
for the salaries and expenses of. collectors of internal reAT^enue, deputy
collectors and clerks over the estimated amount necessary for collecting
internal revenue, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the
law relatiA^e to the bounty.

The total additional api3ropriation made for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1892, on account of sugar bounty was, therefore, $211,990.
The act making appropriations to supply deficiencieain the appropriation for the fiscal year ending June-30, 1891, and prior years (act ot
March 3, 1891), also appropriated $5,000, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, for expenses incident to carrying out the provisions of the
act of October 1, 1890, relative to the bounty on sugar.
Of this appropriation, the snm of $4,948.67 has been expended—most
of it for polariscopes, chemical supplies, and fitting up laboratories.
The sum expended for weighing and sampling instruments, polariscopes, supplies for laboratories, etc., will not be an annual expense except as far as may be necessary to furnish HCAV instruments or apparatus
to replace those injured or worn out.
I t should be borne in mind that the Government is obliged to have all
the sugar weighed by GoA^ernment Aveighers, and to throw all the safeguards and checks around the x)ayment of a bounty of $10,000,000 requires
the same system that is necessary in the collection of a like amount of
taxes.
t h e same OA'^ersight is to be taken of factories where sugar is produced upon which bounty is to be claimed, as is taken in the case ol
tobacco factories, oleomargarine factories, etc., where reA^enueis collected.
The bounty will be paid from the Treasury to the individual through
the same general channel and surrounded by the same checks asAvhere
inoney is collected from individuals and paid into the Treasury.
AA^'HEN THE ACT TOOK E F F E C T .
The first question that arose in making arrangements for carrying out
the law was as to the time Avhen the provisions of the act relative to
bounty went into effect.
The act itself stated that the provisions thereof, relative to the payment of the bounty, should take effect on the 1st day of April, 1891.
The question was submitted to the Attorney-General whether the
bounty was payable on maple sugar made on and after April 1, 1891,
and before July 1, 1891. It was decided that it Avas not intended by
Congress to make the bounty payable on sugar produced prior to July
1, 1891.

WHO ARE SUOAR-PRODUCERS. v
If a-planter or fanner sells the cane which^hehas raised, or the sirup
whicli he has produced, at any period before the manufacture of sugar
is completed, he will have no right to the bounty on the, completed product. The party purchasing such cane or sirup and making the sugar
will be entitled to the bouniby upon compliance Avith the requirements of
the regulations.
If, however, the planter or farmer takes his cane or sirup to a siijar
factory and has it made into sugar for his own account, retaining ownership and paying to the factory a toll for the manufacture, he is then
the sugar-producer and entitled to the bounty/.
The central factories which work sirup into sugar, on contract for
other parties who produce the sirlip and retain OAvnership, are treated
and considered as a part of the sugar factory of the licensed sugctrproducer and are subject to the same rules and regulations in regard to
oiotices, books, etc.

t Not stated.
The beet-sugar industry in the continental countries of Europe has
groAvn within recent years to great dimensions, so that now the production of beet sugar in the world exceeds that of cane. The improved
methods of manufacture and the protective system established in those
countries and the payment of bounties to beet-sugar manufacturers on
exporting their product ha;ve produced this result.
The bounty granted to the manufacturers of sugar under the act of
October 1,1890, the admission free of duty of beet-sugar machinery
until July 1, 1892, and the encouragement given by the Department of
Agriqulture in the experiments for the benefit of farmers, and the aid
given by different States will doubtless have the effect of stimulating
the industry in this country.
In 1887 we produced in this country from the sugar beet 600,000
pounds of sugar, in 1888 about 4,000,000 pounds, in 1889 about 6,000,000
pounds. In 1890 three factories in this country (two in California
and one in ISTebraska) produced about 8,000,000 pounds. Three additional factories have been established during the past year, and it is
estimated that their production this year AVLU be about 25,000,000
pounds.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Sugar is obtained from sorghum by the same method as from the
sugar cane. Its cultivation in this country for sugar-making purposes
has been limited.
The quantity of sugar made last year Dy the applicants for license in
Kansas, in which State most of it is made, was 1,132,044 pounds.
The act ofMarch 3, 1891, making appropriations for the Departme'nt
of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, contains the following 1310 vision:
That any manufacturer of sugar from sorghum may remove from distillery Avarehouses to factories used solely ibr t h e manufacture of such sugar from sorghum, distilled spirits in bond free of tax, to be used solely in such manufacture of sugar from
sorghum; t h a t all distilled spirits removed as herein authorized shall be of an alcoholic strength of not less than one hundred and sixty per centum proof, and may be
removed, stored, and used in the manufacture of sugar from sorghum, and Avhen so
used may be recovered by"redistillation in the sugar factory of such manufacturer
under such bonds, rules, and regulations for the protection of the revenue and the
accomplishment of the purposes herein expressed as the Commissioner o f l n t e r n a l
Revenue, with the approval o f t h e Secretary o f t h e Treasury, may prescribe.
Eegulations haA^e been issued by this ofiice' governing the withdrawal from distillery warehouses, free of tax, of distilled spirits to be
, used in the manufacture of sugar from sorghum, pursuant to this provision. The sorghum manufactories have not taken advantage of this
proAdsion the present season. The use of alcohol, free of tax, by manufacturers of sugar from sorghum for the purpose of separating the
gummy matter from the sorghum juice promises to be of great aclA^antage to this industry. Eecent experiments made in this direction by
the Department of Agriculture show that the jield of sugar from sor^ghum cane will be about doubled by the new process.

A small quantity of sugar Avill polarize over 90^, estimated at onetwentieth of the production, and probably some will not reach 80° and
therefore not be entitled to bounty.
The total annual production in the United States is probably in the
neighborhood of 50,000,000 x^ounds,* but a large majority of producers
failed to make application for license the present year.

The above estimate of production was made by the producers early
in the season, and is considerably in excess of what may be expected.
In making their estimate for the year the producers naturally placed
their figures high. I t isjvhat they hoped to make if all conditions were
favorable. The i^roduction in Louisiana last year, which A ^s larger
Na
than usual, was 436,056,926 pounds, as reported by applicants for
license, and the i3revalent opinion is that the coming crop Avill not be
any larger.

STATE BOUNTIES.
-
In Kansas the State pays a bounty of three-fourths of a cent a pound
on sugar made from beets, sorghum, or other sugar-yielding cane or
plants groAvn in the State 5 the sugar to polarize at least 90^, the amount
having been reduced from 2 cents a pound by a recent act (act of
March 4,1891). The laAV provides that the expenses of branding the
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
467
packages and of making the analysis shall be paid by the persons
receiving the bounty. All property of sugar factories is exempt from
taxation until 1895.
In Utah the Territorial law (act of March 12, 1890) gives a bounty of
1 cent a pound for the years 1890 and 1891 on sugar made from sorghum, beets, or other sugar-bearing plants grown in Utah; not more
than $15,000 to be drawn each year. ]!:^o bounty shall be paid upon
sugar unless the corporation, firm, or person claiming it shall have first
erected a plant for its manufacture, costing not less than $200,000, and
having a capacity of manufacturing 15 tons of sugar per day.
The claimants for bounty are required to pay the cost of carrying out
the law.
The State of Ii^ebr^ska, by the act of legislature of March 19, 1889,
^^An act to provide for the encouragement of the manufacture of sugar
and paying a bounty therefor,^- authorized the payment of a bounty of
1 cent per pound UXDOH sugar made from beei^, sorghum, or other sngaryielding cane or i^lants, but the law was r e p l i e d by the legislature of
1891.
'
RECOMMENDATION AS TO AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.
The law makes no provision for transferring a license, and no provision for issuing a license upon papers filed after the 1st of July of each
year.
.
A case of this kind arose: A firm filed a notice and gave the required
bond prior to the 1st of July, and a license was duly issued. Subsequently, after the 1st of July, the firm was dissolved, one member, retiring, and a HCAA^ member took his place. The question arose whether
'
the new firm would be entitled to the bounty upon giAdng a new notice
and filing a new bond. This office held that there was no authority to
issue a license to the new firm; that the business must be continued in
the name of the old firm and the bounty paid to it; that members of
the old firm and the sureties on their bond must sign papers to be filed
in this office consenting to this, and continue their liability. Such contracts may be made by the parties between themselves as to indemnity,
disposition of the bounty, etc., as they consider necessary for their
own protection.
^
1 recommend that the law be amended so as to provide for the transfer of a license or- the issuing of a new license to successors or legal
representatives, in case of the death of a party who has obtained a
license or a change of firm or transfer of business occurring after the
1st of July and after a license has been issued.
CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR IN THE UNITED STATES.
This country is a large consumer of sugar, the people using more per
capita than those of any other country, except England.
In the last fiscal year we imported 3,483,477,222 pounds of sugar of
the value of $105,728,216, and produced 512,261,530 pounds.
Of the amount imported 661,448,057 pounds were beet sugar of the
value of $18,318,269, and 2,822,029,165 pounds cane sugar of the value
of $87,409,947.
The amount of sugar produced in the United States is about one
eighth of the amount consumed.

^
had been a total of 479 samples of various articles receiA^ed and analyzed, but during the past year 754 samples have been received. This
large increase in the number of samples submitted, for analj^sis arises
from the free fortification of sweet wines, under the provisions of sections 42 to 49 of the ^^act to reduce revenue," etc., approved October
1, 1890, which makes it necessary to accurately ascertain the alcoholic
and saccharine strength of such wines owing to the limitations prescribed in the law. This act made no provision for an increase in the
laboratory force, although the work of a scientific nature called for by
several of its provisions, whose enforcement belongs to this office, largely
increased the work to be performed in the laboratory here. The consequence is that there is now nearly a year's work on hand.

In addition to the samples receiA^ed from officers of this Bureau,
samples have been submitted for investigations and analysis hy other
Bureaus of this Department.
An investigation Avas made of the. composition of the paper used for

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The proAasions of the act of October 1, 1890, relating to sweet Avines,
haA^e also added to the work ofthe laboratory in the preparation of instructions for taking samples of SAveet Avines for the determination of
the alcoholic strength and the sugar contained in such wines. There
Avas also required the calculation of whole per cents tables indicating
the number of Avine gallons of brandy to be added to sweet wine to prodnce a given alcoholic strength within the limits x^rescribed by law.
Eegulations for carrying into eflfect the above sections of the act have
also been prepared and have received the aj)proval of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and the necessary instruments tO be used in testing sweet
wines have been purchased in conformity Avith the law governing such
liurchases.
As the law (section 43) prescribes Balling's saccharometer as the
instrument that may be used to ascertain the saccharine strength of
sweet wines after the due evaporation of the contained alcohol, and
restoration to original volume, it was deemed advisable as a saAdng in
time and materials to use this instrument not only for the purpose
specified in the law, but as a med^ns of approximately determining the
alcoholic strength of the AA^HC, by first using\the saccharometer as a
specific gravity spindle. The method devised by Tabarie for the determination of alcohol in presence of fixed matters with tolerable accuracy could be followed, and one set of instruments and one evaporation
suffice for both the alcohol and sugar determinations. Under this
method the specific gravity of the original liquid is first observed, a
measured quantity is then boiled sufficiently long to volatilize all the
alcohol, and the ^ extract'' subsequently made up with water again to
^
the exact original volume, the dilution being made at the same temperature as the original, 60^ F. being taken as the standard temperature.
Then the specific gravity of the original liquid divided by the specific
gravity of the extract is equal to the specific gravity of the" alcohol
evaporated. From this last figure the proportion of alcohol can b e ,
ascertained by reference to suitable tables. When Avine is examined
by this method the estimation of alcohol has a tendency to be low, but
the process is extremely simple and the results approximate closely to
the truth. (Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis, second edition, vol.
1, pp. 71-72).
Instead of instructing the officers and furnishing them with copies of
elaborate alcohol tables and the corresponding si)ecific gravity Ibr each
tenth degree of the internal revenue Balling saccharometer in order to
make the calculations called for by the above equation, as they now
have to do under the revised regulations, it was considered less complex to instruct them to subtract the reading of the spindle before from
that after deal<?oholization and refer to a table for the corresponding percentage of absolute alcohol by A^olume for the difference obtained. This
table was calculated by taking some ten to twenty ditferent specific
gravities at various points on the saccharometer scales, and, using the
above equation, there was obtained the various specific gravities for the
alcohol evaporated for a given difference in saccharometer readings.
The mean of these calculations was then taken and this result stated in
the table. The elaborate tables of W. Schultze, showing the quantity
of extract by weight corresponding to each increase of one-tenth in the
fourth place of decimals of the si3ecific gravity at 15^ 0. (59° F„), were
employed (Dingier, Polytechnisches Journal, 1878, 230, p. 421), and the
alcohol tables of Dr. Thomas Stevenson (London, second edition, 1888).
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
473
I t A\^as not the intention of this office to allow the gauger or other
officer AA^io supervised the fortification to be the sole judge Avhere Avines
are presented for fortification that approach the limits prescribed by laAV,
but to subject such wines to accurate chemical analysis by skilled chemists. For this reason certain limits Avere placed in the regulations, and
when ah officer in the course of his Avork obtained, by the approximate
method given, results approaching these limits, he was to send a sample
to this laboratory for careful analysis.
As a matter of fact nearly every fortification that was carried out
during the past season in California is represented by one or more samples received in this laboratory.
A large number of the samples of wines have been analyzed by the
indirect method prescribed in the regulations and also by the more elaborate and accurate method of weighing on a delicate analytical balance.
The results obtained are stated in the following Table I I :

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
I t will be seen in the summary of the above table the average of the
1,01 samples analyzed shows an alcoholic content of 1.210 per cent, less
by the indirect than by the accurate direct method. When it is considered that this average represents an error of adjustment on the hydrometer spindles not exceeding 4J millimeters the accuracy of the indirect
method is remarkable. The readings of the three hydrometers used in
these determinations were first corrected for instrumental errors (according to the data famished by the Office of Weights and Measures of the
U. S. Coast and G-eodetic Survey), and the solutions were made up at
various temperatures as a counter check on the table of temperature
corrections published in the regulations. The difference between the
amount "of alcohol by volume contained in the distillate and that in the
original liquid would be shghtly greater than- that found by the indirect method^ i e., the method of ignoring the weight of the original
liquid and taking the ijercentage of alcohol to be that found in an
equal volume of the distillate gives plus errors, amounting in some
cases to as much as 3.5 per cent. All determinations of alcohol, like
other liquids, are of necessity made by weight and the percentage by
volume found by calculation.
The ascertaining of the specific gravity of a liquid is a method of determining the weight of a certain volunie of that liquid compared with
the weight of the same volume of a sta.ndard4iquid, generally distilled
water, at a certain standard temperature. (See page CLiv, Eepprt
Cominissioner Internal Revenue, 1888.) Although section 3249, Revised
Statutes, seemingly defines the standard of alcoholic strength in proof
spirits as being at the standard temperature of 60° F. (15.56° 0.) it makes
no mention of the fact that water at its maximum density, 39.2o F. (^P
C), is what the stated volume at 60° F. is compared with. For general
convenience the table of alcoholic vstrength by volume contained in the
revised sweet-wine regulations has been calculated with the equal volumes taken at 60^ F., and not the voly.me of alcohol at 60^ F. compared
with the equal volume of water at 39.2o j^.
In Table I I I will be found tabulated the results of the analyses of all,
wines received and analyzed in this laboratory during the past fiscal
year.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
This office not being provided with a physical laboratory for the proper
testing of hydrometers and the standardization of weights, flasks, and
tubes, arrangement had to be made with the Superintendent of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey to have all such work carried, out in the
physical laboratory connected with the Office of Weights and Measures=
of his Bureau. I t is hardly necessary to say that this class of work involves the greatest accuracy of manipulation and a large amount of time
to properly perform the various comparisons at controlled temperatureSo
For the saccharometers and alcoholometers to be hereafter issued by this
office,thenecessarycorrectiontobeappliedforevery2^ per cent, readings
of their stems will be fnrnished by the Coast Survey after direct comiiarison with the standard solutions and instruments now in their possession. For the manufacturers of these instruments sets of standard ones
have been supplied so that it is expected that the hydrometers furnished will be as accurate as it is possible to make such lustrumentSo
As soon as the necessary comparisons can be made by the Coast Survey
after the instruments are received from the manufacturers, a sufficient
stock will be kept on hand in this laboratory, and the unavoidable delays
hitherto occasioned in filhng requisitions from collectors will, it is hoped,
be avoided. The most serious delay has been caused in obtaining a satisfactory model of a portable still for the alcoholic determinations in
sweet wines (in accordance with the provisions of the revised regulations), and although one of the largest chemical supply houses in the
country has the contract for farnisldng the necessary outfits, they have
not yet been able to make a still that comes u]3 to the requirements of
the specificationSo
OLEOMARaARINEo
. Of the fifty-one samples received from revenue officers for chemical
analysis twenty-six proved to be oleomargarines and the remainder
butters. The butters were in most cases exceedingly rancid; some of
the officers had evidently considered that rancidity was presumptive of
the presence of added fats, overlooking the well known fact that manu-.
factured oleomargarine will keej) for a long time Avithout undergoing
rancid fermentation, whereas poorly worked butters rapidly decompose,
and will even undergo putrefactive fermentation if kept long eUongho
Samples of oleomargarines havebeen kept in the laboratory refrigerator
for over 2 years without becoming rancid, although at the end of that
time they had lost their butter flavor and tasted and smelt like suet fat.
These were of the ordinary grades, and retained until they were called
for as evidence in trials, and no especial precautions were taken to exclude the air.
ATL interesting report of the United States ccmsul at Eotterdam has
lately been issued by the State Department, showing the vast strides
made in the production and consumption of oleomargarine in the ISTetherlands, oleo oil to the value of $10,000,000 being imported from the
United States during the calendar year 1890, ancl an estimated total
outxnitof oleomargarine of 165,000,000poundsbeingproduced during the
same period, of which nearly 128,000,000 pounds were exported, to England, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, E"orway, Denmark, and
the Dutch, English, and, Portuguese colonial possessions. The farmers
found that this large output of artificial butter did not interfere in the
least with those of them who made a high grade of butter, which commanded good prices the year round, and those who only owned a few
cows had no difficulty in making contracts with the oleomargarine fac

tories to take all the milk their cows would yield. The sale of oleomargarine in Europe, as in this country, was among the poorer classes,
who prefer a palatable fat to a rancid one.
MISCELLANEOUS SAMPLES.
Several samples of so-called ciders have been analyzed, which proved
on examination to be free from any admixture of the fermented juice of
expressed apples, and to consist of varying mixtures of water, tartaric
acid, coloring matters, with more or less alcohol, and certain flavoring
matters according as peach, cherry, or orange cider was desired to be
manufactured. Although a well fermented apple cider contains more
alcohol than the strongest ales, its manufacture and sale are not under
internal-revenue laws, yet the manufacture of inixtures of alcohol or
other distilled spirits flavored or colored to imitate certain alcoholic
beverages is sul^ject to tax.
Two samples of a mixture of rock candy and diluted distilled spirits
were analyzed, and the manufacturers held to be rectifiers under the
law.
,
Samples of high-colored recently produced distilled spirits continue
to be received for analysis. In most cases- caramel or other artificial
coloring matter is found on examination to be present, arising from
such material being introduced into the barrels, presumably before they
are filled at the cistern room of the distillery. Of course in the case
of rectified goods, where the rectifier is at perfect liberty to introduce
what coloring matter or flavoring extracts he pleases, abnormal whiskies may be expected, but they 'should not be found on distillery premises. The introduction of foreign matter into distilled spirits in which
such matter is more or less soluble tends to a greater or less extent to
increase the specific gravity of such spirits, and as a consequence the
reading; of the" alcoholometer is below the existing alcoholic contents.
Tlus is well exemplified in an exaggerated form in the case of sweet
wines (see Tables ii and iii, ante), where there may be as much as 26
per cent, of alcohol by volume in the wine, which the alcoholometer would not only fail to indicate, but would apparently show that
there was none at all present. No hydrometer can be made to indicate
the composition of three liquids, but is restricted to two, one of which
is water, as a general thing, and the other a variable quantity of the
substance whose percentage presence has pjeviously been determined
by careful analysis, and consequently whose resulting specific gravity
is known. Where a third substance is present in a solution it must be
eliminated before a hydrometer can be used to indicate the proportions
of the other two. In the case of sweet wines, cordials^ artificially colored spirits, etc., the evaporation of the liquid in a closed vessel with
condensation of the vapors given off on heating readily separates the
volatile matters, ethers, alcohols, and water from the non-volatile coloring matters, sugars, mineral salts, etc., and permits of the determination of the alcohol present in the distillate by means of a hydrometer,
and by suitable calculation of the amount in the original liquid.
The paper used for printing revenue stamps has frequently been examined and the admixture of wood pulp detected, when present, readily
under the microscope by using a moderate power and staining the weU
macerated paper (previously boiled in dilute caustic alkali solution and
washed with dilute acid and water) with potassium iodide, when the
characteristic cellular structure of the wood fiber assumes a purplish
hue 5 as such admixture is contrary to the terms of the contract, when

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
such adulterated paper was found the contract was annulled; the deliveries under the new contract made in consequence of this examination
have been so far free from such adulteration.
The first sample received under the provisions of the act ^^to prevent
the manufacture or sale of adulterated food or drugs in the District of
Columbia," approved October 12,1888, has been analyzed, and the matter is now in the hands of the United States attorney.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVIHG AND
PRINTIlfG.
TREASURY D E P A R T M E N T ,
B U R E A U OF ENGRAVING AND P R I N T I N G ,
Washi7igton, p . C, October 16,1891.
SIR : I have the honor .to submit the following report of the operations
of this Bureau during the fiscal year 1891:
The result of the year's operations is the largest delivery of securities,
stamps, and miscellaneous work of any year during a period of 14
years. There were completed and delivered during the year 11,233,999
sheets of United States notes. Treasury notes, gold and sil ver. cer tificates, bonds, and national-bank notes, having a face value of $308,965,930; 33,500,696 sheets of internal revenue and customs stamps containing 927,934,984 stamps, and 1,655,686 sheets of drafts, checks, certificates, etc., besides a large amount of miscellaneous work for the
various departments ofthe Government. There were also received from
the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, and returned to him after being
imprinted with the words '^ Act of March 1, 1890,'^ 723,663 sheets containing 24,522,669 stamps for tobacco and snuff.
When the estimates for this year's work were submitted in October,
1889, it was anticipated that the deliveries would be nearly 15 per cent,
greater than for the year 1890 and nearly 8 per cent, greater than for
1889 in which were made the largest deliveries from 1877 to that time.
The result shows that the deliveries are 27 per cent, greater than those
for 1890 and 18 per cent, greater than those for 1889. This large
amount of work has not been accomplished without extra effort on the
part of nearly every one connected with the establishment. During the
greater part of the year it was necessary to work the plate printers and
other employes connected with their work, constituting the largest
part of the force of the Bureau, 2J hours, and from March 19 to May
31,1891, 3J hours beyond the regular hours daily, commencing work
during this latter period at 7 a. m. and closing at 6.30 p. m.
During the spring of 1891 the demand for small notes, under the Act
of July 14, 1890, and the Act of August 4, 1886, was so great that,
taken in connection with the steadily increasing demand^ for internal
revenue stamps, it became apparent that the facilities o f t h e Bureau,
even with the additional space which would be afforded by the new
wing when completed, would not be sufficient for the execution of the
work within the regular hours. It became necessary, therefore, to
devise some method of performing the work that would enable the
Bureau to do this. After a very full and careful examination into the
matter I became satisfied that the method of printing internal revenue
stamps from steel plates engraved in relief, while affording ample protection to the Government, would enable me to do the printing more
rapidly, and would thus secure the prompt filling of orders without the
necessity of working overtime. I accordingly recommended that the
internal revenue stamps known as ^' strip tobacco stamps," of denomi485

nations from 1 ounce to 16 ounces inclusive, be executed by this method,
and, upon submitting samples of this work to the Secretary and to the
Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, they were approved, and a large
quantity of the'stamps of the denominations of 2 ounce and 4 ounce
has been printed by this method, delivered to, and issued by the Commissioner. As rapidly as the engraving of the other denominations of
strip tobacco stamps can be finished they will be printed by that method
also* I t is estimated that the difference in cost between the two
methods will result in a saving of $156,941 a year.
Work on the addition to the building, recently authorized by Congress, was commenced March 19, 1891, and was pushed forward as
rapidly as the weather would permit. The first part of the building
was completed and turned over to me July 1, 1891, and the entire
building was completed and turned over to me August 29, 1891. As
rapidly as portions ofthe building were turned over I had new presses
placed therein, and there are now in operation in the new wing 126
hand presses. Since I assumed charge of the Bureau (July 1, 1889) I
have added 149 hand presses to its plant. With these additional
presses, and the relief afforded by the change to relief printing on the
tobacco stamps, I am now able to do all the work required within the
regular hours, and the force of the Bureau has, since October 1, 1891,
been working but eight hours daily.
The large increase in the work of the Bureau has necessitated a corresponding increase in its force. The number of employes has increased
from 1,074 at the close of 1890 to 1,246 at the close of 1891, an increase
of 16 per cent. The principal increase was in plate printers and assistants, there having been 60 printers and 61 assistants employed during
the year.

The expenditures of 1891, as compared with those of 1890, show an
increase of 25 per cent., while the increase in the amount of work
delivered is 27 per cent. There was added to the plant of the Bureau
during the year new machinery fo the value of $12,257.54.
I desire to earnestly renew my recommendation that an appropriation be obtained from Congress for the erection of an outbuilding for
the accommodation of the Bureau's ink mills, laundry, carpenter shop,
stable, and for storage. The necessity for this building has been so
often shown in the annual reports of this Bureau and in communications to Congress that it is hardly necessary to repeat it here. I also
beg; to call attention to the great need of an appropriation for painting
the old portion of the Bureau building, both the woodwork and the
brickwork. The building has not been painted for 10 years, and the
woodwork is now in such a condition that unless it is covered with a
fresh coat of paint it will rot from exposure to the weather.
The result of the year's operations, as shown above, is especially
gratifying when the fact is considered that there were many difficulties
to contend with^ and I must acknowledge here the uniform courtesy
and cordial support I have received from yourself and your Assistant
Secretaries. My thanks are also due to the subordinate officers of the
Bureau for faithfulness iu the discharge of their several duties.
Eespectfully submitted.

The foregoing statement omits mention of a very large amount of
official work principally of a legal nature, and more especially requiring
the personal consideration of the Comptroller, which does not admit of
systematic classification and detailed report, and yet has occupied much
time and care, such as, e. g.^ the investigation of and decision upon
legal points arising in the adjustment of accounts; the examination of
and decision upon applications for the issuing of duplicates in lieu of
bonds and'other securities lost or destroyed, and also for the transfer
of the same; the examination of powers of attorney for the collection
of money due to creditors of the United States; decisions upon the
rights of persons claiming to be executors, administrators, or heirs of
deceased claimants, to receive money due from the United States; the
examination of official bonds; answering calls for information made by
Congress, the Departments, and private persons; receiving and examining emolument returns, and other work of a miscellaneous character.
SUITS AGAINST T H E UNITED STATES.
As directly pertaining tothe duties of this office, I respectfully invite
attention to the act of Congress of March 3, 1887, entitled ^'An act
to provide for the bringing of suits against the Government of the
United States" (24 Stat., 505).© The section of the act to which I
wish to invite attention provides:
T h a t the district courts of the United States shall have concurreDt jurisdiction
with the Court of Claims as to all matters-^n am ed in the precedino^ section where the
amonnt of the claim does.not exceed one thousand d<dlars, and the circuit courts of
, the United States shall have such concurrent jurisdiction in all cases where the
amount of such claim exceeds one thousand dollars and does not exceed ten thousand
dollars. All causes brought and tried under the provisions of this act shall be tried
hy the court without a j u r y .
The result of this extended jurisdiction has been the bringing of
many suits in the several district and circuit courts of the United
States and Territories against the United States. They arise in every
conceivable form, based upon every conceivable cause of action, and
are prosecuted alike by officers who are receiviug a salary from the
Government and those who are seeking to recover, in many cases,
unjust claims against it.
506
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
o
Prior to the passage of this act the accounting officers had but little
trouble in keeping in line with tbe law as it is found iu the statute and
as interpreted by the Supreme Court and the Court of Claims, but
with all the district and circuit judges of the States and Territories
added, a sharp conflict of opinion can now be found upon the leading
statutes on the payment of fees, salaries, and the like to Government
officials. This conflict of opinion is extremely embarrassing to this
officCo The desire is to administer tbe laws in their letter and spirit,
and to the entire satisfaction of the officials who are interested, and to
the Government, which is to pay the bills. Tbis can be accomplished
when, there is no conflict of opinion as to what the statute means.
The whole trouble arises from the fact that the courts do not understand and interpret the statutes alike. A few illustrations upon this
point will make my meaning clearer than any words I can use.
It was held in the Wallace case (116 U. S. R., 398) that a charge for
docket fees was proper when made by a circuit court commissioner,
who was directed by the court to keep a docket This was contrary
to tbe holding of the accounting office for all time, so far as any evidence
can be discovered. Tbe attention of Congress was invited to the decision, and in the act of August.4,1886 (deficiency bill, 24 Stat., 274), that
body passed a law declaring that '' docket fees should not thereafter
be cbargedo^^ The question came before the courts whether or not the
legislation was general, or only had application to the disbursement of
the appropriation contained in tbe bill then under consideration. The
commissioners contended that tbe act applied to the single appropriation made for that year, while the accounting office.contended that it
was general legislation, and tbat after the passage of the act no docket
fee should be charged.
In the following cases tbe construction given by the accounting office was upheld by the Federal courts s
Thornley vs. United States (37 Federal Reporter, 762); Strong vs. United States
(34 Federal Reporter, 17); McKinstry vs. United^ States (34 Federal Reporter, 446);
Goodrich vs. United States (42 Federal Reporter, 392); Faris vs. United States (23
Court Claims, 374); McKinstry vs. United States (40 Federal Reporter, 819).
On the other hand, the following cases held that the legislation was
special, and had application only to the appropriation then before Congress, to wits
.
. c
,
Bell vs. United States (35 Federal Reporter, 889); Rand vs. United States (36 Federal Reporter, 675); Hoyne vs. United States (38 Federal Reporter, 543); Mcl)ermott
vs. United States (40 Federal Repjorter, 217); Phillips va. United States (33 Federal
Reporter, 164).
This matter was finally taken to the Supreme Court, which court held
that the construction given by the accounting office was correct. I t
took years to bring about that interpretation, and the controversy tbat
attended the administration of that law upon a point so trifling, involving in the aggregate a large sum of money, led to a great deal of criti-»
cism and unfriendly feeling towards tbe Treasury Department. Tbis
particular statute is but one of many where there is a like diversity of
holding among the Federal courts.
The same diversity of opinion appeared in regard to complaints and
acknowledgments of recognizances before circuit court commissioners,
and in regard to the accounts of supervisors of elections, and the
fees that tbey should charge and be paid. Taking tbe law in its application to the Treasury Department, it may be said that it creates
confusion among officials and among tbose having claims against the
Government, and requires almost daily explanation why the holdings
FIRST COMPTROLLER.
^
507
are being changed from time to time. Tbe necessity for a change of
ruling grows out of the fact that the courts constantly change their
holdings.
These illustrations, with many more that might be cited, are sufficient
to show how utterly impossible it is for this office to follow the Federal
courts in the adjustment of commissioners' accounts.
The courts, under this law, have uniformly held that the Government
may be sued in the first instance. That is to say, a clerk or a marshal,
a district attorney, or a commissioner, after he has earned his fees,
need not present his account at the Treasury Department for payment
before suit is brought, and thus mulct the Government in costs before
his accounts are passed upon. Tbis has been done time and time again,
and is being repeated almost every day, notwithstanding the provisions
of section 856 of the RevisecJ, Statutes. Such proceedings render it
yery difficult for the accounting office to prevent duplicate payments,
whicb have in several cases been made. On the other hand, judgments
have been obtained in the courts by officials after they had been paid
at the accounting officiB.
In one instance, recently, while suit was pending, an account duly
certified was presented and paid; subsequently judgment was obtained
for the same services and was in due course also paid. This double
payment was soon discovered, however, and the money recovered.
Another dase: A clerk of a United States court brought suit and obtained judgment for several hundred dollars on account of disallowances
and suspensions made during the calendar year in which he had already
been allowed and paid the maximum compensation fixed by law, and
it was only by the most rigid scrutiny of bis accounts that tbe fact was
discovered and the double payment prevented. This office has adopted
a system of checks, which it is hoped will reduce to the minimum the
danger of double payments, but the only safety is in the repeal of the
statute itself. If it should appear unwise to repeal the law, it should
be so amended, at least, that Government officials sliall be required to
present their claims to tbe accounting office for adjustment and payment before suit is brougbt. Then, and not till then, tbey might safely
be permitted to sue in the Court of Claims if not satisfied with the adjustment. The official would then be obliged to make it affirmatively
appear in court that the item had been presented to the accounting
office, and rejected by tbat office, before his case could be heard.. In
that way duplicate payments would be prevented.
LIMITATIONS.
In my last report I invited attention to the propriety of adopting
some limitation as to the time when claims against tbe Government
should be presented for payment, but no action looking in that direction was taken by Congress. Since that time, however, the Court of
Claims, in the case of Charlotte A. Waddell, executrix, etc.,'yi. United

nature of a trust, are held to be barred and are not allowed.
says:
Tbe court
It has often been said that tliere is no statute of limitations applicahle to claims
required to be presented and examined b y t h e accounting officers of the Treasury Department, and t h a t is undoubtedly so. But there is an unwritten law recognized by
courts of equity and admiralty in which no statute of limitation is applicable against
entertaining and enforcing stale claims. (Speidel vs. Henrici, 120 U.S. R., 387, and numerous cases there cited; Willard vs. Dorr, 3 Mason C. C. R., 161), and t h a t law the
accounting officers may rightly invoke and rely upon.
A stale claim is one t h a t has not. been presented for payment for a long period of
time, during which the claimant has slept upon his rights, and thus created a
presumption that the claim was never an honest and just one, and t h a t he has been
Avaitiug until it was forgotten by the alleged debtor, and all evidence against it is lost
or destroyed. Courts of equity usuallyTollow the law and adopt the statutes of limitation as lixing theperiod beyond which delay requires explanation, and which, unless
satisfactorily accounted for, will constitute a bar to demands. We see no reason why
the accounting officers may not rightly adopt the same rule.
To the endj however, that there may be no misunderstanding on this
subject, I respectfully recommend that the attention of Congress be
again invited to it.
To adopt some reasonable limitation is but to follow the practice of
the civilized world. I know of no State in the Union but what has a
limitation law, and I know of no State that suffers itself to be sued by
any of its citizens. If, tberefore, any one holding a claim against the
Government is permitted to sue in the courts (he must bring suit within
a reasonable time,-which is fixed by law at a given number of years,)
why should it not follow, if he has a demand against the Government
and elects to present ft to tbe accounting officers for payment, he should
present it within such a reasonable time as would enable the official to
determine whether or not the claim is just? Should he be permitted to
hold his claim until his remedy in court is barred, and then for the first
time present it to the accounting officers for payment*?
DOUBLE COMPENSATION.
' '
Secjtion 1763, Revised Statutes, is as follows i
No person who holds an office, the salary or annual compensation attached to
which, amounts to the sum of two thousand fi\^e hundred dollars, shall receive compensation for discharging the duties of any other office, unless expressly authorized
by law.
c
The fair reading of this statute must leave the impression that Congress intended that when a person holds an office, the salary or annual
compensation of which amounted to $2,500, he was well served, and
that he should receive no additional compensation for discharging the duties of any other office, unless expressly authorized by
Congress. However natural tbis interpretation may seem, tbe departure from it has been so great tbat it is now held that an official may
hold two or more distinct offices and draw the salary for each, Tbe
Attorne'ys-General themselves do not agree upon the question. Attorney-General Black held (9 Op,, 127) as follows:
My conclusion is t h a t no officer of the Government having a salary iixed by law,
nor no (any) other officer whose compensation amounts to |2,500 per annum, can
receive extra pay for any service whatever, whether it be witbin the line of his duty or
outside of it. Nor is it possible for auy such officer to receive the salaries of more than
oue office, no matterounder what circumstances he may have performed the duties of
more than one.
This opinion is injlorsed by several other Attorneys General.
On the other hand several Attorneys-General, who stand equally
high in the profession, have held that this section and the two succeed

ing sections do not forbid holding two offices at the same time.
say:
'509
They
These sections are intended to fence against arbitrary extra allowances in each
particular case; but do not apply to distinct employments with salaries or compensation affixed to each by law or regulation.
*
*
»
The plain meaning of this seems to be t h a t an individual holding one office and
receiving its salary shall in no case be allowed to receive also the salary of another
office which he does 7iot hold, simply on account of his having performed the duties
thereof.
The prohibition is against his receiving the salary of an office t h a t he does not hold,
and not against his receiving the salaries of two offices which he does legitimately
hold.
This last opioion is concurred in by Attorneys-General Evarts, Cushing and Devens, The opinion by Attorney-General Devens is found in
15 Up,, 306. His language i s :
That the evil intended to be guarded against by these statutes, according to the
construction given them, was not so much plurality of office as it was additional pay
or compensation to an officer holding but one office for performing additional duties
or the duties properly belonging to another. If he actually holds two commissions
and does the two duties of the two distinct offices, he may receive the salary which
has been appropriated to each office.
One part of this controversy has been settled by the Supreme Court
in what is known as the Saunders case, which is reported in U. S. R,,
120, p. 126, and was decided in January, 1887, Saunders w^as a clerk at
tbe Executive Mansion during the last administration, and also a clerk
to oue of the committees of Congress at th© same time, neither salary,
however, amounted to $2,500 per annum. The court held, after reviewing all tbe authorities bearing on the subject, that he was entitled
to both salaries. This case, however, dofes not relieve the whole situation. It does not touch the question where the salary is $2,500 or more,
and leaves that still an open question.
In this connection I wish to state tbat under the act of Congress
passed March 3, 1891, establishing a circuit court of appeals, the court
for the sixth circuit, which by law will hold its sessions at Cincinnati,
appointed the clerk of the circuit court for the eastern district of Michigan clerk of the circuit court of appeals for the said sixth circuit.
This clerk took the oath of office, entered upon the discharge of his
duties and has been paid for his services as clerk of the circuit court
of appeals. Wben this clerk, however, comes to present his claim for
services as clerk ot the circuit court for the eastern district of Michigan, a serious question will arise, whether he can be paid or not.
The act of Congress of June 30, 1874 (18 Stat, 109, sec. 2), provides:
That every clerk ofthe circuit or district courts of the United States * * * shall
reside permanently in the district where his official duties are to be performed, and
shall give his personal attention thereto, and in case any such officer shall reraov®
from his district, or shall fail to give personal attention to the duties of the office,
except in case of sickness, such Q^ce shall be deemed vacant.
Just how this official can discharge the duties of the office of clerk
of the circuit court of appeals at Cincinnati, and give '' personal attention'^ to the duties of his office in Detroit, Mich,, is difficult to seCo
If he does not '^reside permanently in the district where his official
duties are to be performed, and give personal attention thereto, his
office shall be deemed vacant,'^ is the substance of the law on the subject. Two bodies can not occupy the same space at the same time, nor
can one body occupy two places at the same moment. This clerk can
not be at Detroit, giving ^ personal attention" to the duties of hir^
^
510
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
office located at that place, and at the same time be at Cincinnati
attending to the duties of his office as clerk of the circuit court of appeals. I t is physically impossible to give personal attention to the
duties at both places,
^
This case, however, is not exceptional. There are many instances in
which the same person holds three or more offices. The case of the
clerk of the circuit court of the eastern district of Arkansas is oue in
point. The same person was clerk of the district court, and in 1889
received compensation as such, the sum of $5,243,55; he was also clerk
of the circuit court, and received compensation as such in the sum of
$1,047.75, and at the same time was circuit court commissioner, and
his fees for the same period, paid to him by tbe United^States, amounted
to $3,949.90, making an aggregate compensation of $10,241,10, For
the year 1890 he received as clerk of the district court $5,434,65, as
clerk of the circuit court $2,095.54, and as circuit court commissioner,
$3,053, making an aggregate of $10,583.19 ;' and for the first 6 months
of 1891, in tbe same capacities, he received an aggregate compensation of $6,217.48.
The clerk of the circuit court of the northern district of Texas is
also clerk of the district court and United States commissioner. The
clerk of the district court of the southern district of New York is
also a United States commissioner and clerk of the court of appeals,
and many more cases might be cited of like, character, but it is deemed
unnecessary, the only object being to call attention to the fact, and to
emphasize it, that, notwithstanding the statute above quoted, it is a
common practice for one person to hold more than one office where the
compensation of one of the offices amounts to the sum of $2,500 per
annum.
It is not a question for the Treasury Department to determine how
many offices one person may hold, or how many salaries he may receive;
that question is entirely with Congress, but it is important tbat the
compensation to be paid and the number of offices a person may hold
should be clear and well defined to the end that illegal payments shall
not be made.
In view of the premises I respectfully recommend that the attention
of Congress be invited to this subject. There are also many cases
where a United States commissioner is paid during the calendar year
more than the sum of $7,000, and in some cases tbe amount received by
him will amount to more than $10,000, Such payments appear to be
excessive, in view of the service rendered, and it is respectfully sug»
gested that a limit should be made to the amount that should be paid
a United States commissioner for services rendered during a calendar
year, and that limit should certainly not exceed the sum of $5,OOOo No
reason is known to exist why a commissioner or clerk should receive
mor© than the judge of the court.
o
It must be remembered that these fees are almost wholly paid by the
United States and not by the individual. In the figures above given,
which have reference to the eastern district of Arkansas, the aggregate paid to the clerk was $27,041,87; of this sum the United States
paid $25,743.23 and individuals paid $1,298,64. About the same proportion is found to run through not only the other accounts mentioned
but all clerks^ accounts throughout the United States. In the case,
however, of United States commissioners the fees are. wholly paid by
the United StateSe

COLLECTION OF BALANCES DUE TO THE UNITED STATES.
I repeat the suggestions and recommendations contained in my last
report ou this subject, and respectfully invite your attention to the requirements of sections 3624 e;tse^. Revised Statutes, as to the collection of
balances due to tbe United States; section 17j66, Revised Statutes, as'
to withholding money found due to any person for his compensation
who is in-arrears to the United States, until such person has accounted
for and paid into the Treasury all sums for which he may be liable; and
the act of March 3, 1875 (18 Statutes at Large, page 481, chapter 149),
providing for the deduction of any debt due the United States from any
judgment recovered against the United States by such debtor.
Duties and obligations are devolved upon the accounting officers of
the Treasury by the statutes referred to, a practical compliance \vith
which is not possible under the system of account keeping of the
Treasury Department. This is because the accounting officers charged
with the duty of collecting balances due to the United States and withholding sums found due to persons who are indebted to the Government are not in possession of the necessary information.
Accounts are kept by the Second, Third, Fourth, and Sixth Auditors
and the Register of the Treasury, and there is no system of concentrating the balances on their respective books or of informing all the accounting officers regularly of the balances remaining on the books of
such oflicers. For instance, a balance may be standing on the books
of the Second, Third, Fourth, or Sixth Auditor against some person who
has been in the Government service at some time and whose accounts
were kept by some one of these auditors and the same person is again
in the Government service in a different capacity, whose accounts in the
latter capacity are kept by some other of the auditors or the Register
of the Treasury or vice versa; balances may appear on the books of the
Register of the Treasury of which the auditors have no official information, and thus balances may be and are paid to parties on the adjustment
of accounts who are at the same time indebted to the United States on
the books of some other bureau of the Department. The object of the
statutes is impossible of accomplishment and the Government is a loser.
Large sums are lost annually, wiiich could and ought to be saved to the
Government, for want of a system of reporting regularly all balances
due to or from the United States, on any of the books of the Treasury,
to the Secretary, for the information and assistance of the accounting
officers. The necessity for some such system is emphasized by the act
of August 8, 1888 (25 Stat., 387), which is a statute of limitation against
the Government's recovery of indebtedness from sureties on the bond
of the debtor, unless suit be instituted within five years after statement
of the account by the accounting officers of the Treasury.
It is due alike to debtors and their bondsmen that they be informed
promptly of any balance that may be found due from them to the
United States, and the information upon which the accounting officers'
action is based should not be uncertain or accidental, as it is and must
necessarily be, without some such system as above.suggested. I would
therefore earnestly recommend that the Register of the Treasury and
the Auditors who are charged with keeping accounts be required to
report at least once in each year all balances due to or from the United
States on their respective books to the^ Secretary of the Treasury, under
such rules as he may prescribe. I would further suggest and recommend that final balances or balances on final accounts be specially indicated, or that such reports be confined to fi7ial balances if the sam©

can be done with certainty; and that these several reports bb arranged
and consolidated and indexed alphabetically in such manner that each
and every balance appearing- in such report would be referred to in
connection with the name and office of the person from whom or to
whom any balauce is due, and that copies thereof be furnished to each
of the accounting o^cejs of the Treasury Department for tbeir official
information and assistance in the discharge of their duties.
INDIVIDUAL DEPOSITS FOR SURVEYINGr PUBLIC LANDS,
I deem it important to invite your attention to the present condition
ofthe fund or appropriation denominated ^ Deposits by individuals for
^
surveying public lands," Tbis fund had its origin in section 10 of tbe
act of May 30, 1862 (12 Stat,, 410), now section 2401 of tbe Revised
Statutes, which provides ^that where the settlers in any township or
townships, ^[not mineral or reserved by Govsrnment^^^ shall desire a survey of the same under tbe authority of the surveyor-general of the
United States, and shall file an appiication therefor in writing, such
settlers shall deposit, in a proper United States depository, to tbe credit
of the United States, a sum sufficient to pay for such survey, together
with all expenses incident thereto, without cost or claim for indemnity
on the United States^
By a resolution of Congress approved July 1, 1864 (13 S t a t , 414),
now embraced in section 2402 of the Revised Statutes, it is provided
that the deposit of money in a proper United States depository, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of law, shall be construed to be an
appropriation of the sums so de^posited for the objects contemplated in
the law, and the Secretary of tbe Treasury is authorized to cause the
sums so deposited to be placed to the credit of the proper appropriations for the surveying service. It is also provided in the resolution
referred to (now section 2402,'Revised Statutes) that any excess in the
sums so deposited over and above the actual cost of the surveys, comprising all expenses incident thereto, shall be repaid to the depositors,
respectively.
It will be thus seen that the fund or appropriation arising from deposits by individuals in theomanner provided was created for the sole
purpose of paying all the expenses ofthe respective surveys of lands
^^not mineral or reserved," and expenses incident thereto, and for refunding any excesses in deposits to the respective depositors, Auy
balance remaining to the credit of this fund or appropriation, if correctly kept, must represent unpaid expenses of surveys for which
deposits have been made, and unpaid excesses of deposits by individuals. It could not therefore be reasonably expected that the balauce
to the credit of the fund w-ould at any time be very large. Furthermore,
by the act of March 3, 1871 (16 Stat., 581), now section 2403, Revised
Statutes, and by subsequent amendments (act''of March 3, 1879, 20
Stat,, 352; act Aug. 7, 1882, 22 Stat., 327), the deposits by settlers for
the expenses of surveys desired by them shall go in part payment of
the lands situated in tbe townships, the surveying of which is. paid for
out of such deposits, and tbe certificates of deposit, which are made
assignable, shall be received at the land office at which the lands so
surveyed are subject to entry. This legislation practically cuts ofl* any
claims for refunding excesses of .deposits, since the total amounts deposited in eacb individual case are mad© receivable in payment of th©
lands purchased^
FIRST COMPTROLLER.
513
I find, however, that the fund or appropriation for ^ deposits by in^
dividuals for surveying public lands" has been annually increasing
upon the books of the Treasury.
On the 3(th of June, 1890, the balance remaining to the credit of this appropriation was
$792,892. 59

It is manifest that the enormous sum remaining to the credit of this
appropriation does not represent unpaid expenses of surveys of lands
" n o t mineral or reserved by Governnient," for which deposits have
been made, aud unpaid excesses of deposits, and that deposits have
been covered in to the credit of this appropriation without warrant of
law. Although the statute expressly refers to lands "not mineral or
reserved by Government," and the appropriation for " deposits by individuals for surveying public lands," among the permanent indefinite appropriations enumerated in section 3689 of the Revised Statutes,
cites the same words ('' not mineral or reserved "), it has been the practice for years past to cover in to the credit of this appropriation
amounts deposited, pursuant to regulations prescribed by the General
Land Office, to cover the expenses of the surveys of mining claims.
This practice is, in my judgment, wholly unwarranted by law. I find
nothing in section 2334 ofthe Revised Statutes, or in the acts of May
10, 1872 (17 Stat., 95), and May 5, 1876 (19 Stat., 52), from which said
section is taken, that gives any color of authority to the practice
which has prevailed. On the contrary, the plain reading of said siBction
seems to be that the expenses of the surVeys of mining claims are to be
paid by the applicants, and that each applicant shall file with the register of the respective land office a sworn statement ofthe expenses so
paid, to be forwarded to the Commissioner of the General Land Office
for his information.
The large balance which remains to the credit of this appropriation is
a constant menace to the public treasury, and an invitation for the presentation of illegal and fraudulent claims, which are sometimes pressed
to payment. As a marked instance, reference may be made to the payments of additional amounts on a number of old claims of deputy surveyors, coming under the ap~propriation in question, which I am informed
were made during the years 1886 and 1887, notwithstanding the fact
that the original claims had been long previously settled, and the full
amounts deposited by the respective settlers had been paid in the first
settlements. The additional payments referred to have been characterized, and 1 think justly so, as irregular and illegal. I learn that the
sole ground on which tbe additional payments were urged and finally
allowed was that tbe balance then to the credit of the appropriation
for deposits by individuals was very large and amply sufficient to pay
the claims of the deputy surveyors in full, without regard to the respective amounts which had been deposited by the settlers to meet the expenses of the surveys.
I find that the practice has prevailed and still exists of charging to
this appropriation a large portion of the contingentexpenses and clerk
hire in the offices of surveyors-general for some of the States and
Territories, on the ground that such expenses and clerical services
relate to mineral surveys. x\s Congress provides specific appropriations
Fi91
33
514
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
for the contingent expenses and clerk hire in the offices of the several
surveyors-general, the practice of trenching upon the appropriation
for "Deposits by individuals" for contingent expenses and clerk hire
is, in my judgment, contrary to law, and I shall in the future decline to
allow such charges under this appropriation.
I respectfully recommend that this matter be brought to the attention of Congress, with the request that proper authority of law be
granted for covering back into the general treasury the large balance
now standing to the credit of the appropriation knownas "Deposits
by individuals for surveying public lands."
It is believed that the' accretions to this appropriation arising from
deposits made, and to be made, subsequent to the beginning of the
current fiscal year will be sufficient to meet any legitimate demands
payable from said appropriation.
SALARIES OF DISTRICT JUDGES.
By the act of February 24, 1891 (26 stat., 783), the salaries of the
several judges of the district courts, after the date of the passage of
the act, was fixed at the rate of $5,000 per annum. Congress, however,
failed to make the proper appropriation for the remainder of the fiscal
year 1891, and as a consequence the judges could not be paid for the
period commencing February 24,1891, and ending June 30 of the same
year, at the new rate. The attention of Congress should be invited to
the subject, to the end that the proper appropriation may be made.
EXTRA WORK.
Owing to the refunding of tobacco taxes, the increase of accounts
occasioned by the taking of the census, and the payment of the sugar
bounty, the force in this office was required to work extra hours for
some two inonths. This matter I will make the subject of a future communication.

It is with pleasure that I commend the Deputy Comptroller and other
persons employed in this Bureau for the faithful and intelligent manner
in which they have discharged their respective duties.

A comparison of the above results shows that during the last fiscal
year this office, without any additiohaP help, did considerably more
work than the previous year. The clerks have been faithful in their
duties, and yet some of the divisions of the office are behind in their
work. Four additional clerks have been provided, to commence at the
beginning of the next fiscal year (July 1, 1891), and, although not a
sufficient number for the prompt examination of all claims, yet will
greatly facilitate matters.
'
The Second Comptroller finally settles all claims and accounts coming from the Second, Third, and Fourth Auditors of the Treasury.
The number of clerks on the rolls of the office during the year was
59, the same as the year previous.
The work of the office is done by seven divisions, known as the Kavy
Division, employing 5 clerks; Army Paymasters' Division, 6 clerks;
Army Back-pay and Bounty Division, 9 clerks; Army Pension Division, 9 clerks; Quartermasters' Division, 9 clerks; Indian Division, 4
clerks; Miscellaneous Claims Division, 10 clerks, and 7 chiefs of divisions, making in all 59. The average number of clerks employed during

In presenting this annual report I can only say that the experience of
each year demonstrates that the recommendations heretofore made
should have some attention paid" to them. The principal ones are:
A permanent annual appropriation of, say, $7,500,000 for expenses of
COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS.
521
collecting the revenue from customs in lieu of the present one of
$5,500,000, with an addition of tbe collections from customs sources as
enumerated in section 3687 Revised Statutes; the modification of the
present law so that the miscellaneous collections now belonging to that
appropriation be covered into tbe Treasury as a part of the general
fund; the fixing of specific salaries as tbe total compensation of collectors of customs and of surveyors acting as such; tbe modification of
tbe laws relating to appointment and salary of subordinate customs
officers, so that there can be no doubt of any one of them being an officer of tbe United States; and abolishing their distinctive names, classing them all as customs officers, with power to the principal officer of
the district to detail tbem to any duty relating to customs or navigation
witbin his district.
The transfer from tbe Special Agents Division to this Bureau of the
Immediate Transportation accounts, together with the increase in number of ports and importations, has made necessary the employment of
details to keep the work up to the requirements of the office. In many
cases these details are not familiar with the duties, and such work is
expensive and unsatisfactory. I tberefore recommend that Congress
be requested to provide for a sufficient clerical force to perform the
duties without the delay that is at present unavoidable.
I inclose herewith, the statements (A) of transactions in bonded goods
as shown by the adjusted accounts; (B) comparative statement of
transactions under the immediate transportation system for the years
1881 and 1891.

FIRST AUDITOR.

The foregoing exhibit shows the immense volume of business transacted in this office during the^ fiscal year 1891. It is not thought
necessary to call special attention in this connection to the entirely
inadequate force allowed by law for the transaction of the constantly
increasing business of this office, as that matter has been fully and
specifically set forth in letter addressed to you under date of September
21, 1891, transmitting estimates for appropriations for this office, fiscal
year 1893. . Allow me to commend to your favorable notice the personnel of this office, for faithful, intelligent, and exceedingly laborious
services rendered during the past year,
Yery respectfully,

book of this office, are rejgistered, indexed, and posted utider their
proper heads. Claims of heirs of deceased payees of paymasters'
checks are adjusted in this division and a record is kept of valuable
effects of deceased soldiers! Certificates are issued as to the indebtedness or nonindebtedness of claimants, and claims for pay, etc., in cases
where the claimants are charged on the books of this office, or on the
Third Auditor's books, are referred to the bookkeeper for settlement.
A proper record is kept of suits pending against the United States in
the Court of Claims and in the circuit and district courts of the United
States, in cases where noticb is received that such suits have been entered,, and all information, copies of documents, etc., required by the
courts or the Attorney-General in army cases are furnished by this division (calls for information, etc., in Indian cases are attended to by the

Withdrawn from the '*permanent fund^' of the Soldiers^ Home and paid

The adjustment of claims presented" by the heirs of deceased payees
of checks for arrears of pay and bounty involves a large amount of
coiTrespondence. Under current rulings, if a claimant dies after the
certification of his claim the balance due belongs to his estate and is
l)ayable to his legal representatives or heirs at law. If he dies prior
to the settlement of his claim'the arrears of pay, and such bounty as
he had actually earned, go to his estate or heirs at law, but other classes
of bounty go only to statutoryoheirs. As this ofiBce is rarely notified
of the death of claimants whose*^^^cases are pending it frequently happens that balances are certified and checks issued in favor of deceased
payees for bounty to which their heirs are either not entitled at all or
are entitled to only a portion thereof. Hence new adjustments have
to be made, based upon the facts and evidence presented by those
claiming as heirs ofthe soldier or as heirs of the payee of a check, as
the case may be.
P A Y M A S T E R ' S DIVISION.
The duties of this division are to audit and adjust the accounts of
army paymasters; to state accounts in favor of the Soldiers' Home for
the monthly contributions of 12J cents by enlisted men of the Army,
court-martial tines, forfeitures by desertion, etc.; to keep a record of
deposits by and repayments to enlisted men, to determine the longevity^
status of oofflcers of the Army, to raise charges against officersfor overpayments, erroneous musters, etc.; to transfer to the Third Auditor's
books such amounts collecited by paymasters as have not already been
deposited and passed to the credit of the proper appropriations on
books of the Second and Third Auditors, and to make such settlements,
of a miscellaneous character, as are incidental to the general work of the
division.
The work performed during the year is showii by the following'

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The records of 43 officers have been examined for the purpose of
establishing dates on which longevity pay accrued under acts of June
18, 1878, and February 24, 1881, and the decisions of the Supreme
Court in the cases of the United States vs. Tyler and United States
vs. Morton.
The record of deposits by enlisted men, under act of May 15,1872,
shows that 5,973 deposits were made since last report, amounting
to $344,259.37, and that 8,093 deposits, amounting to $494,495.26, have
been withdrawn, upon which the depositors received $48,941.63 interest.
The amount involved in 422 paymasters' accounts and 192 miscellaneous settlements was $15,141,186.06, as follows:
Amount disbursed by paymasters, as per audited accounts
$14,993,743.15

On June^30, 1891, the accounts of paymasters were rendered to this
office to include February, 1891; audited to include December, 1890,
and confirmed by the Second Comptroller to include September, 1890.
Thirty-six paymasters were on duty, so that the 68 monthly accounts
on hand, unsettled, represent a period of about 2 months. The adjustment of this class of accounts is more nearly up to date than it has
been since 1861, although it involves considerably more work than
formerly, for the reason that the accounts of deserters at large are now
settled in this division and the amounts forfeited by their desertion
ascertained in the current examination of paymasters' accounts instead
of being left for future consideration.

ORDNANCE, MEDICAL, AND MISCELLANEOUS DIVISION.
With the exception of paymasters' accounts, all army disbursing
accounts rendered to the Second Auditor are audited in this division 5
also the accounts of the Natioual Home for Disabled Yolunteer Soldiers,
and the military accounts of the disbursing clerk of the War Department; aiso claims of a miscellaneous character, namely, claims under
special acts of Congress; claims for material furnished the Ordnance
Department; for refundment of bounty money taken from soldiers under
General Orders 305 of 1864; for refundment of money erroneously paid
to secure exemption from draft, etc. The book records of payments to
officers of the regular and volunteer armies are kept in this division,
and transcripts from said records are furnished when required by other
divisions. I t also has charge of the files of settled ordnance, medical,
and miscellaneous accounts from 1817 to date.

INDIAN DIVISION.
The general duties of the Tndian division are to audit the money accounts of Indian agents and other disbursing officers of the Indian service, and the claims of contractors, employes, etc., for supplies furnished and services rendered; also to examine and finally dispose of
the property accounts of Indian disbursing officers, and to keep records
of contracts for supplies and deliveries thereunder, so that any article
can be readily traced from the place of purchase to its destination.
This division has charge of the files of settled accounts and claims
pertaiuing to the Indian service and furnishesto the Attorney General
and to the prbper courts such information and documentary evidence as
may be found in said files touching suits against the United States. It
also makes transcripts of the accounts of Indian disbursiug officers in
cases where it is necessary to bring suit for balances found due the
Government.

The number of quartery accounts on hand July 1, 1890, was, cash,
266; property, 249. The examinations are therefore more nearly up to
d a t e t h a n then ; a result very gratifying, ^as the work of the division
has been greatly retarded b y t h e backward condition of the Indian
service, consequent on thp lateness of the date at which the appropriations for the fiscalyear 1891 were made, occasioning a corresponding
delay in the completion of contracts.
The number of accounts of all kinds on hand June 30, 1891, was 860,
against 842 on June 30,1890, and the number settled in 1891 was 5,520,
against 5,173 in 1890. T lus it appears that though there are on hand,
of all classes of accounts, 18 more than a year ago, yet the division
made 347 more settlements than last year. When the newer members
of the force shall have acquired a little more experience there will be no
difficulty in bringing th(3 settlements as nearly up to date as practicable.
The accounts of 136 disbursing officers are now in the current files,
so that the unsettled accounts average but one and a half quarters
m months) for each officer. With the present clerical force it is believed that next year's work will result in very materially reducing the
arrears, if not in completely removing thrm.
The number of letters written was 3,829 ;Hpages copied, 3,770. Transcripts and information have been furnished to the Court of Claims in
23 cases, and to the Attorney-General and Solicitor of the Treasury in
4 cases.
551
SECOND AUDITOR.
P A T AND BOUNTY DIVISION.
To properly consider and dispose of the large amount of business
devolving upon it this division is practically subdivided into six
branches, or sections, namely :
(1) The registering branch, by which all claims for arrears of pay and
bounty that have accrued since April 13,1861, are received, registered
according to regiments or other independent organizations, and sent to
the files of claims awaiting examination. After being certified by the
Second Auditor and Second Comptroller, the claims again pass through
this branch in order that the number of the certificates may be entered
on the claims' register, thus completing the record. Letters of inquiry
concerning claims either settled or pending are necessarily referred to
this branch for information as to date of filing, number of certificate, &c.
(2) The examining branch, by which such evidence as may be necessary to complete claims is collected and scrutinized. When completed,
if there appears to be anything due from the United States, the cases,
after passing the board of review, go to the settling branch for adjustment. In cases where formal settlements have not previously been
made, and it is evident that nothing is due the claimants, settlements
disallowing the claims are made in this branch and reported to the
Comptroller for his action thereon as required by law. In cases where
formal settlements have already been made a u d i t is apparent that
nothing further is due, claimants are so notified and the papers are
filed with said settlements.
(3) The settling branch, by which all claims passed by the examining
branch and reported correct by the board of review are formally adjusted by certificate settlements and reported to the Second Comptroller.
(4) The correspondence branchy, in which inquiries relating to settled
claims, and all letters from members of Congress in regard to claims,
whether open or settled, are answered, and the miscellaneous correspondence attended to, including the writing of letters to claimants and
attorneys notifying them of the settlement of their claims. This branch
also transmits certificates to the Paymaster-General for payment, and
keeps the necessary records showing under what heads of appropriations balances have been certified.
(5) Branch in charge of open and disalloiced files.—These files consist
of claims awaiting evidence to be furnished by claimants and attorneys,
claims awaiting action by the examining and settling branches, claims
summarily disallowed by the Auditor prior to January 1,1882, and not
since called up, and claims which have not been completed by the
parties in interest and are regarded as abandoned.
(6) Branch in charge of files of settled claims.—These files consist of
claims for arrears of pay and bounty which have been formally certified
by the Second Auditor and Second Comptroller since 1832.

The amount involved in 9,281 claims audited and allowed" was
$1,190,892.72; number of vouchers examined in connection with the
adjustment of claims, 24i),909; number of letters written and mailed
during the year, 171,932.
With regard to the claims reported as ^^referred elsewhere" (8,724
and 429=9,153) it should be explained that three classes are included
under this head, namely, (1) claims which are actually sent out of the
office or referred to other divisions; (2) claims that have already been
formally settled, leaving nothing more due to the claimant—the claimant is so notified and the papers are filed with the settlement; (3) claims
that have been suspended for more than 3 years for material evidence required to complete the cases, and in which no reply has been
received from the claima it or attorney. Cases of the latter cla.ss, which
constitute the majority of those reported as "referred elsewhere" are
regarded as abandoned and are tratfsferred to the disallowed files.
Some of these may, eventually, be revived by the receipt of new evidence, but the great mass of them will never be disturbed.
Of the 58,237 pending June 30,1891, 46,771 were original claims, the
remainder being cases in which settlements have heretofore been made.
but which have been pr; ctically reopened under recent laws, and cases
already settled, in whict new applications have been filed by the soldiers or their heirs
DIVISION FOR INVESTIGATION OF FRAUD.
It is the duty of this division to examine and investigate all cases in
which fraud, forgery, unlawful personation of claimants and w^itnesses,
disputed questions of heirship and identity, irregular practices of attorneys, etc., are involved, and to take the necessary steps, through the
officers of the Department of Justice, to recover any moneys that may
have been improperly drawn from the Treasury and to punish, the
offenders.
Thenumber of cases on hand June 30, 1890, was 1,995; number referred to the division d uring the year, 1,106; making a total of 3,101
cases for consideration; 1,686 have been disposed of, leaving 1,415 cases

During the year 18 cases were prepared, for United States courts and
63 for the secret service division of the Treasury Department. Abstracts of facts were made in 303 cases.
The sum of $333.16 was recovered from persons to whom it had been
improperly paid; judgments were obtained for $345.92, and fines were
imposed by United States courts amounting td $1,000. Letters written,
6,792.
P R O P E R T Y DIVISION.
This division examines and settles all accounts of clothing, camp and
garrison equipage, and has charge of the files of such accounts, both
settled and unsettled. Said accounts are uot reported to the Second
Comptroller; therefore the action of the property divisionJs final. On
the call of the pay and bounty division and the Third Auditor, and on
the request of the officer concerned or his representative, this division
issues certificates as to the indebtedness or nonindebtedness of officers
who served in the armies ofthe United States, both regular and volunteer, since^the organization of this office in 1817. These certificates
cover all accountability for ordnance, ordnance stores, etc., up to 1871,
and all responsibility for clothing, camp and garrison equipage. It is
a part of the duty of this division to see that officers of the Army who
fail to satisfactorily account for any article embraced in their returns
df clothing, etc., promptly pay the value thereof.
The number of returns of clothing, camp and garrison equipage on hand and
unsettled June 30,1890, was

As about 1,200 officers render quarterly returns of clothing, etc., the
number on hand is equivalent to I J returns per officer, and the work
is as nearly up to date as it is desirable to bring it. When an officer is
relieved from duty his returns can not be properly settled until the next
quarter's accounts have been sent in by his successor; hence it is
necessary to defer the examination of many accounts until later returns
have been rendered.
"• '
The number of vouchers examined during the year was 44,164; letters received, 5,072; letters written, 2,409; letters recorded, 1,577;
certificates of nonindebtedness issued, 3,756.
I deem it proper to invite attention to the subjoined extract from the
report of this office for 1887, which was also inserted in the report for
1888:
Prior to 1871 this division was charged with the settlement of property accounts
or returns rendered by Aruiy officers responsible for ordnance, ordnance stores, and
supplies, but on December i9,1870, the Secretary of War directed that such returns,
after rigid examination by tlie Chief of Ordnance, should be filed in the Ordnance
Office, and not transmitted to the Treasury. As the act of March 3, 1817 (section
277, Revised Statutes), makes it the duty of the Second Auditor to receive aud examine
all accounts relating to military stores, it may be questioned whether such property
accounts as have received only the rigid examination of the Ordnance Office have
been adjusted in accordance with law. (See 13 Op., 483.)

Copying and repairing rolls.—On N^ovember 1,1890, the work of eo^ying and repairing worn and defaced rolls and vouchers was transferred
frora the archives division to this division. Since that date 1,184 single
vouchers, 3,400 muster ind pay rolls, 30 discbarges, 185 sheets of paymasters' abstracts of payments, and two large registers of payments
(over 700 pages each) have been repaired, and 1,214 pages (48,942 lines)
of rolls have been copied and compared.
Card indexing.—The work of card indexing the records of payments
to enlisted men of vol inteers has rapidly progressed and is nearing
completion. All cards covering payments to enlisted men from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Dakota,
District of Columbia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiaua, Maine, Massachusetts, ISTebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, ISTew Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon,.Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas,Yermont,Yirginia, Washington, and West Yirgi lia, and more than one-half of Delaware, Marylaud. New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania have been assorted
and are in daily use. A large number of erroneous entries in the registers have been corrected from the vouchers
On April 1, 1891, the card indexing of payments to enlisted men of
volunteers absent from their commands in hospitals, parole camps,
etc., was commenced About 400 bundles of paymasters' accounts
have been examined, in which 368 rolls, covering 8,813 payments made
in the early part of the war, were found and indexed. Comparatively few

men were absent in hospitals, etc., in 1861 and the early part of ,1862,
and the rolls above mentioned are, theiefore, not in great demand; but
the card indexes so far made have proved of use, and when all payments
of the character referred to have been indexed a great saving of time
will be accomplished, and, what is of equal if not more importance, the
wear and tear of one class of muster and pay rolls, already much
dilapidated, will be considerably reduced, If not altogether obviated,
and there will be less necessity for copying and repairing such rolls.
On June 1, 1891, the work of registering payments to officers of the
regular Army was transferred to this division. Up to that date these
payments were registered in the ordnance, medical, and miscellaneous
division in bound volumes specially prepared for the purpose. The
card-index system has now been adopted, and payments made to officers
of the Army since December 31, 1890, will be registered upon cards instead of in books. At the same time a card index will be made of payments, since said date, to discharged enlisted men. Heretofore no record of such payments has been kept in this office, the Pay Department
having been depended upon for information on this subject.
The total number of payments card-indexed during the year was
508,434, as follows:
From records transferred from Paymaster-General's Office
From pay rolls (hospital, e t c . ) . . .

MAIL DIVISION.
The general duties of the mail division are to carefully examine,
stamp, assort, and distribute the entire incoming mail of the office, including all papers received from the Second Comptroller's Office, the
Indian Office, the War Department, etc.; to inspect the outgoing mail
and see that errors or irregularities are corrected ; to answer all letters
not relating to claims on file, and to dispose of or properly refer all
letters, clairas, etc., which do not pertain to this office.
The incoming mail is generally distributed within an hour after its
receipt. The system devised for examining and dispatching the outgoing mail is such that nearly all letters are mailed the day after their
date.

This division''has charge of all accounts of Army paymasters which
have ever been settled by the Second Auditor and Second Comptroller;
also ofthe book records of payments to regiments, batteries, and other
independent organizations, detachments, hospitals, paroled prisoners of
war, recruiting parties, an d all other separate commands. It withdraws
from the files such vouch ers as are required by the settling clerks in
other divisions, and returns them to their proper places when no longer
required. The duties of the division incidental to the care of the files
are sufficiently indicated :n the following report of the work performed

In copying the worn and defaced registers of payments to volunteer
organizations which have been in constant use for about 20 years it is
found necessary, in order to correct errors made when the registers
were first written, to refer to every muster and pay roll covering said
payments. The number of the paymaster's voucher has been added to
the record of payments, w hich much simplifies the work of withdrawing
papers from the files. The record now shows at a glance the company
and regiment to which payinent was made, the period embraced in each
payment, the paymaster's name, the file number, the number given to
the account by the Pay Department, and the number of the voucher.
The rearrangement and renumbering of vouchers was found to be
necessary in consequence of some paymasters having several series of
vouchers in the same account and several series of numbers on the same
abstract, which caused both delay and confusion.
More than half the time of one clerk has been occupied in furnishing
muster and pay rolls for the use of the record and pension division of
the War Department and ih rendering assistance to clerks .of other
divisions of this office who were searching for information required in
the transaction of curren t business.

accrued prior to April ^13, 1861, also claims of sutlers, post traders.

CONDITION OF PUBLIC BUSINESS.
I am pleased to report that the public business intrusted to my charge
is in a fairly satisfactory condition. The work performed diiring the
fiscal year 1891 is fully set forth in the detailed report of each division
of the office, to which attention is respectfully invited. The result, so
far as accounts and claims are concerned, is summarized in the tabular
'* recapitulation," which shows the number of each class of accounts,
etc, on hand at the commencement of the year, the number received
and disposed of during the year, and the number awaiting action on June
30, 1891. It will be seen that the unsettled accounts and claims, which
numbered 63,397 on July 1,1890, have been reduced to 61,173, of which
58,465 are claims for arrears of pay and bounty, 32 are Indian claims,
641 are accounts of disbursing officers, and 2,035 are property accounts..
The accounts of Army <iisbursing officers, and returns of clothing, camp i
and garrison equipage I ave been settled so nearly up to date that, practically, there are no arre^^rages. Indian clkims have also been promptly
audited and reported tc> the Second Comptroller. The money and property accounts of Indian disbursing officers are somewhat in arrears,
there being 252 quarterly cash accounts and 240 quarterly prQperty accounts awaiting examination, as well as 336 sets of " explanations" to
accounts previously audited, in which suspensions were made in consequence of the vouchers presented not being satisfactory. It is highly
559
SECOND AUDITOR.
desirable that all disbursing officers' accounts be speedily adjusted so
that a proper check can be kept upon their disbursements, and I shall
therefore use every endeavor to dispose of existing arrearages and thus
place the accounts of Indian agents on the same footing as the accounts
of Army disbursing officers.
With regard to arrears of pay and bounty, I am able to report that .
since the close of the fiscal year 1891 a decided impression has been
made upon the mass of unsettled claims, and that on October 1 the
number of such claims remaining on hand was reduced to 50,269, a
gain of 8,196 as compared with the returns for June 30, 1891, and of
9,901 as compared with the returns for June 30, 1890.
DISALLOWED CLAIMS.
Attention is again invited to the great number of claims for arrears
of pay and bounty presented to this office in cases where payment in
full has already been made. Out of 32,058 claims disposed of last
year no fewer than 13,245 were disallowed, while balances were found
due the claimants in 9,361 cases.
Prior to January, 1882, the Auditor summarily rejected a claim when
it did not appear from the records that anything was^ due from the Government. If, however, the claimant was dissatisfied with the action of
the Auditor and requested that his case be referred to the Second
Comptroller i t w a s referred accordingly. This practice of disposing of
worthless claims terminated December 31, 1881, in consequence of a
decision of the Second Comptroller that "when an account is presented
to the Second Auditor, and the subject-matter ofthe account is within
liis jurisdistion, section 277 of the Eevised Statutes requires him to certif^^ the balance of the iaccount and transmit the account, with the
vouchers and certificate, to the Second Comptroller for his decision
thereon. The duty of the Auditor under section 277 does not depend
upon the amount found to be due. If the balance is nothing, the law
requires it to be so certified, and the account, vouchers, and certificate
are to be transmitted to the Comptroller" (Second Comptroller's Digest,
vol. 2, p. 147).
I present a tabular statement showing the number of claims allowed
and disallowed since this decision went into effect.

I t will be observed that out of 156,357 claims that have been formally
certified to the Second Comptroller during the last 10 years more than
60 per cent, were cases in which nothing was due the claimants, although
;there is no reason to suppose that the claims were not presented in good
faith. The formal settlement of this large mass of worthless claims not
only cost the Government tens of thousands of dollars which might just
as well have been saved by the summary rejection of every demand where
there was prima facie evidence of full payment, but it also delayed the adjustment of a large number of accounts where balances were really due

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
the claimants. As the^e is no check upon the presentation of claims
for arrears of pay and l30unty the Auditor must continue to receive and
examine all such claims as have accrued since the organization of this
office, in 1817, and mustjformally submit them to the Siecond Comptroller,
with the vouchers pertaining thereto for his action, as required by law
and the decision above mentioned. If: the soldier or his heirs have
already been paid in full a simple statement of that fact will not suffice.
In the words of the Second Comptroller, "if the balauce is nothing the
law requires it to be so certified, and the account, vouchers, and certificate are to be transiaitted to the Comptroller." In my judgment a
law which requires the formal certificate of two accounting officers to
the fact that a soldier has been paid in full is susceptible of amendment, and I suggest that section 277 of the Revised Statutes may properly be so modified as tolauthorize the Second Auditor to disallow claims
for arrears of pay and bounty in cases where the muster and pay rolls
or other records of his office show that the soldier or his heirs have received all they are entitled to under the law; provided that if the
claimants are dissatisfied they may, within 6 months, appeal to the
Second Comptroller, ottierwise the Auditor's action shall be deemed
final and conclusive audi be subject to revision only by Congress or the
proper courts.
IMPORTANT INDIAN RECORDS.
The tendency of legislation on Indian affairs is towards the policy of
conferring upon Indian tribes the right to seek an adjustment of their
landed aud monetary rlelations with the United States through the
courts. Thus the act of March 3, 1881 (21 Stat., 504), authorized the
Court of Claims to take jurisdiction of and try all questions of diff'erence
arising out of treaty stimulations with the Choctaw ISTation; the act of
March 3,1883 (22 Stat., 585), authorized the Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians to institute a suit in the Court of Claims to determine their
right to moneys, stocks, and bonds held by the United States in trust
for the Cherokee Indian'^; the actof October 1, 1890 (26 Stat., 636),
allows the Sbawnees, Delawares, and Cherokee freedmen to bring suit
in the Court of Claims to recover moneys alleged to be due them jointly
and severally, and under the "Bowman Act" (22 Stat., 485) matters in
dispute between the United States and the Chickasaw and Creek Indians have been referred to said court by the Secretary of the Interior.
It is probable that in the near future this will become the settled policy
of the Government, and it will therefore be incumbent upon the Second
Auditor to furnish the courts and the Attorney-General with complete
information, as far as possible, as to the expenditures of appropriations
made in fulfillment of treaty stipulations since 1817, in order that it
may be determined whether the treaties have been carried out, or to
what extent their stipulations remain unfulfilled. Por this purpose the
files of settled accounts in this office will have to be depended upon,
but the information contained in said files can only be obtained after
long and careful examinaltion, and even then there is no absolute certainty that all necessary information will have been extracted from the
records. The law, however, makes it obligatory upon the Auditor to
furnish the Attorney-Genjcral, without delay and within a reasonable
time, a full statement in writing of all facts, information, and proofs in
his possession or knowledge touching any claim brought against the
United States in the Court of Claims. (Sec. 188, Kevised Statutes.) .
The accounts, as formerly kept, on the ledgers of this office do not
show in all cases the sums appropriated for particular tribes, nor were
SECOND AUDITOR.
561
appropriations always made for the tribes specifically. Thus the act
OfMarch 3, 1843 (5 Stats., 612), appropriated $1,472,773 " for the fulfill^
ment of treaties with the various Indian tribes " for a period of eighteen
months. In other cases where specific appropriations were made for.
each tribe the gross amount appropriated was brought on the ledgers
under the general head of "Fulfilling treaties with various Indian
tribes." In such cases the only mode of ascertaining the facts necessary to determine questions raised in the course of judicial proceedings
is to examine the accounts of the superintendents and agents to whom
the funds were advanced, as well as the accounts of other agents and
subagents to whom they were often transferred for expenditure—a
process which will involve the critical revision of several millions of
documents filed away in thousands of settlements.
I estimate that it will require the services of ten clerks for one year
to make a proper record of payments under Indian treaties. Such a
rexjord will be of the greatest service, and will eventually save many
times its cost.
CARD INDEXES VERSUS BOOK RECORDS.
Eeference has been made in previous reports to tbe transfer of 1,551
registers of payments to volunteers from the Pay Department to this
office, and to the fact that instead of rebinding, recopying and correcting said registers, many of which were in a dilapidated condition
from long and constant use, I had decided to adopt the card index system in use in,the Record and Pension Division of the War Department.
The work, w^hich was assigned to the division of inquiries and replies,
was commenced January 27, 1890, and it was estimated that 650,000.
cards would be requiied. Up to June 30,1891, payments to discharged
enlisted men from twenty-six States and Territories and to about onehalf of the men from five other States had been carded, the total number of payments being 640,984. I t is expected that the work will be
completed .before 1892.' A year's experience with the card-index system has demonstrated its superiority over book records. Where it
would take from fifteen minutes to an hour to find a payment on the
registers received from the Pay Department, the same payment can be
found on the card index in noj} exceeding two minutes. The work of
searching for payments in the book records now takes two clerks.
When all the cards are completed one clerk will be able to do all the
searching in three hours a day -, iu other words, one clerk will do in
three hours as much as two clerks can now do in one day. This fact
speaks for itself and requires no comment.
The application of the card index system to one class of book records
having proved so satisfactory, I have extended that system in several
directions and anticipate equally good results. The want of a record
of payments, to enlisted men absent in hospitals, on detached service,
in parole camps, etc., has long been felt. Payments to commissioned
, officers, to regiments, companies, batteries, detachments, and, generally, to all separate commands, were duly recorded. Payments at hospitals and camps of parole wer^ also recorded under the name of the
hospital or camp. But as the payees on the muster roll of paroled
prisoners of war, say at Camp Parole, Annapolis, Md., might belong to
several hundred different organizations, the knowledge tliat all paroled
men at that camp were paid for a certain period was of little service
in any individual case unless it was first ascertained that the man w hose
claim was beiug adjusted was actually in said camp during that period.
FI 9 1 — 3 6
.
562
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Itherefore decided to have a card index made of all payments to individual enlisted men abseit from*their commands, and the work is progressing favorably. When completed two desirable results will have
been attained—the time required to find a payment to an individual
volunteer soldier will be reduced to a minimum and the wear and tear
of old muster rolls and vouchers will be obviated.
A register of payments to officers of the Regular Army has heretofore
been kept in book, form, the entries being made as soon as possible
after the receipt of the accounts from the Pay Department. The
vouchers were withdraw! from the paymasters' accounts, assorted by
regiments, etc., reasserted alphabetically, and, after being recorded,
again reasserted in theii original order and returned to the accounts.
After due consideration it appeared to me tbat this time-honored system might be profitably superseded by a simple system which would
dispense with the reiterated assortment of vouchers, and involve much
less work. Hence the card-index system has been applied to all payments made since tbe commencement of the present calendar year.
At the same time a card record of payments to discharged enlisted men
ofthe Regular Army has been commenced, no record of such payments
having previously been made in this office.
Under the regulations of the Treasury Department, made in pursuance
of the act of July 7, 1884, a list is kept of attorneys and agents authorized to practice before t i e Department. As a matter of supposed convenience thirteen copies were made for use in diff'erent parts of the office.
They have all been discontinued, and in place thereof a card index is
kept in the old army division which furnishes without delay and with
very little labor such information concerning attorneys and agents as
may be needed by the other divisions. The list now contains nearly
5,000 names and is constantly increasing.
Respectfully yours.

TREASURY D E P A R T M E N T ,
O F F I C E OF THE T H I R D A U D I T O R ,
Washington, D. C, July 1, 1891.
S I R : The annual report for the fiscal year just closed is certainly a
gratifying exhibit ofthe work of this office. There is, and will continue
to be, a steady increase in the volume of business,* for the assignment
of departmental duty 4s such that the accountings examined are in direct
touch with the growth aud development of the Republic. Tbe military, river and harbor, and pension appropriations represent in the
examination of the vouchers of expenditure an infinite detail of careful supervision; and only by close application and expert experience
can certainly be demonstrated a faithful and legal disbursement ofthe
immense revenue so liberally allotted for these purposes. Entering into
the expenses of the Armj^ and the river and harbor improvements is
the transportation account, and this involves, especially with the
Pacific railroads, a laborious and careful comparison of schedules and
charges, and apportionment of percentages under the law to the Goverment, that is tedious in its detail and requires, proportionately more
clerical labor. In addition to thenatural growth of thelist of pensioners,
the act of June 27,1890, has added a very large number of the veterans
of the war for the Union to the roll of honor. The increase in the pension work of this office in the past three years is nearly 100 per cent.
It now requires a force of ten clerks to record the monthly additions of
certificates. During the past year a corps of eleven clerks has been continuously employed in making new rolls. It will be necessary to keep
a detail of clerks constantly employed in the preparation of new records.
An account is kept with each pensioner; so some abstract idea can be
formed of the magnitude of the labor and the care necessary, to the end
that tbe sacred purposes of the pension appropriation shall be shown
to haye reached the honored beneficiaries of the country's gratitude.
The exhibits referring to the pension disbursements are comprehensive
in statistical data, and will be found of special interest. The reimbursement section is growing, and must continue to grow as the ranks
of the old soldiers are decimated by the touch of death,. The work
of the office is not behind; each division is practically on current labor,
and I doubt not will be able to continue this record the coming year
without any increase of force, other than the five clerks of Class E
authorized by the Fifty-first Congress.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
During the year past [I consolidated the miscellaneous division with
other divisions of the oince, and experience has proved that it expedited
the work. In the coming year I shall consolidate the collection division.
The labor of this office divides on four natural lines, and I hope to arrange the duties of the divisions to conform to this practical business
demonstration. Too m ich organization is not only cumbersome, but,
aside from creating supebfluous places, retards rather than expedites the
work. The coming fiscal year I will be able to consolidate the horse
claim division, and instead of having seven divisions, as in 1888, meet
the increased duties with four divisions,
•
I desire to specially cbngratulate the force of this office for its industry and conscientious discharge of duty. The record of results, as will
appear in the tabulated statements of division work, is a worthy compliment to their faithfulness.
There are 141 employes coniiected with this office. The time lost by
sickness duiing the year past amounted to 1,131 days. The lollowing

to class 1, October 20, 11890; Thomas C. Clark, from class E to class 1,
October 21, ,1890.
In the estimate foil the next fiscal year, an additional assistant
messenger will be asked for, and one less chief of division. The present clerical force will be adequate.

HORSE CLAIMS DIVISION.
The beginning of the end ofthe horse-claim industry is very happily
within vision. The presentation of new claims is barred alter August
13, 1891. Of the class of losses considered by this division there have
been since the war about 21,000 horses paid for. Of the 5,014 claims on
hand gow nearly one-half have been awaiting calls for additional evidence, or, in cases growing out of the Mexican war, for proof of loyalty.
In some of the claims post-office addresses of claimants have been lost.
The pension files are frequently examined in the effort to supply this
deficiency. No court would permit its docket to be weighed down with
dead causes, and so the practice will be adopted hereafter, in the settlement of horse claims, of rejecting without prejudice all cases where no
attention has been given for 5 years. This policy will very much facilitate the disposition of the present accumulation during the coming year.

The files are very much crowded, so much so that the floors have to
be now utilized for the accommodation of the accumulating papers.
By shelving several of the rooms on the Bureau floor this year's accounts have been partially accommodated. Electric lights have been
put in, which lessens the danger from fire.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
EXCHANGE.
Bills of exchange were sold by the pay officers of the ISTavy Department during the year bo the amount of $1,195,506.71. Of this sum
$738,376.05 was drawn on the Kavy agents at Loudon and $457,130.69
on the Secretary of the ISTavy.
These bills were negotiated at varying rates of exchange, the gross
loss being $30,539.66; gross gain, $9,995.44; making the total net cost
of negotiation $20,554.22.
SPECIAL FISCAL AGENTS AT LONDON,
The same contract continues in force with Messrs. Seligman Bros.,
special fiscal agents at London, as stated in my last annual report, viz:
A commission of one-half of 1 per cent is paid on disbursements made
by them on account of the ISTavy Department. On daily balances in
their hands they pay to the Government the rate of interest paid by
the London joint-stock banks, and on advances they receive the rate
charged by the Bank of England. Commissions amounting to $3,853.56
have been paid to them during the year. They have paid the amount
of $13,644.15 as interest on the daily credit balances. There has been
a gain of $3,781.32 in the transfer of funds from Kew York to London.

burial of pensioners. Also the amount of $94 was paid as fees to examining surgeons for surgical examinations made during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1891.
CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
You will observe that material progress has been made by the different divisions of the office in bringing up the work heretofore iu
arrears. In every division the claims and accounts on hand unsettled
is considerably less than at the end of the preceding fiscal year. While
recent pension legislation has materially increased the work of at least
two divisions of the office, and while the increase in the clerical force
has not been commensurate with the increased labor as a result of such
legislation, yet I am happy to be able to say that the work has been
kept up by the present force to a satisfactory degree.
The number of letters of inquiry from theJPension Office unanswered
a few months ago was over 6,000, covering a period of over six months.
At this writing the number has been reduced to less than 3,000, covering a period of less than three months. Unless there is a material increase in the number of inquiries, which I do not anticipate, I am satisfied that this class of work will be fully up to date before the end of
the present calendar year, aud at that time a part of the force now
eng'-iged upon it can be assigned to duty in the paymaster'^ divrnQaj
tbe work of wliioli is now somewhat iu arrears,
590
REPOET ON THE FINANCES.
The work of the paymaster's division requires the highest order of
clerical ability, hence my recommendation in the " Estimate for salaries,
1893," that the two $800 clerkships should be abolished and one $1,600
clerk be allowed in lieu thereof; one such clerk will be of more value to
the office than two $800 copyists. I have every reason to believe that
before the end of another year the work of every division will be iip to
date.
Too much can not be said in commendation of the efficient chiefs of
the different divisions of the office and their able corps of clerks. They
have been faithful, attentive, and industrious, and they fully merit ail
the words of commendation that can be bestowed upon them by the
head of the office.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

SIR : According to your instruction under date of the 2d ultimo, I
have the honor to hereby submit to you the annual report of this office
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891.
The following is a statement showing the character and amount ot
the work performed:

The accounts shown to have been adjusted are more than three times
the number ordinarily settled annually by this office in the regular
course of business. The excess consists almost wholly of 27,372 claims
for rebate of revenue tax on tobacco and snuff, which were settled
during the last four months of the fiscal year; while these claims were
simple compared with the other accounts settled in this office, they
entailed a very large amount of extra work. The regular business of
the Bureau was thereby necessarily retarded, the extra work coming
upon a clerical force whose common duties were already adequate to
their strength. But I am gratified to be able to report that by close
application to business, and by working during extra hours, the lost
ground has been recovered and the work is now up to its customary
status ^of completion.
I appreciate the interest manifested in the public business connected
with their desks, by the clerks of the office, and commend them for the
industry and alacrity with which they have prosecuted their labors.
The results of the system of checking consular fees from customs
returns (section 4213 of the Eevised Statutes, the work of which appears
in two captions of the above statement) are quite satisfactory. A considerable amount of fees is annually saved to the Treasury by the detec-

tion and correction of errors and omissions in fee returns and of practices tending to deprive the Government of its revenue.
Th© matter to which my letter to you, of the 25th of June last, related, was one of the results of the workings of this system in this
Bureau, in which itwas discovered that goods ostensibly shipped through
this country to a foreign destination were being entered largely for consumption in the United States, the official fee of $2.50 required by law
for exportations to this country, for each consular certification to an invoice, being in these cases retained by the consul as a notarial or personal fee, under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of Mosby vs. the. United States (133 U. S. Eeports, 273), in
which the fees for certification by United States consuls of invoices
for goods in transit through the United States to other countries were
declared to be unofficial fees and as belonging to the consul.
You were pleased to lay the subject before the Department of State
on the day following the receipt of my letter, and thereupon, on July 17,
1891, that Department issued a circular to the consular officers of the
United States, in which the following conclusions were reached and instruction given:
This discovery leads to the belief t h a t the obtaining of a consular invoice for goods
shipped ostensibly in transit through the United States to some other county is prima
facie evidence of an intent to dispose ofthe goods in tjje Uuited States if it be found
on arrival there to be advantageous to do so. A shipment nominally "for transit,"
but with the option of sale in the United States, and so documented as to enjoy the
privilege of entry for consumption as well as for transit, should be regarded and
treated as an export to the United States, and the fee for certifying the invoice should
be turned into the Treasury as official. The fee for an invoice of goods shipped for
transit through the United States is unofficial only when the goods are shipped bona
fide and absolutely for transit, without any arrangement for the contingency bf a sale
in the United States. You will be held to account for the fees in accordance with this
instruction.
I have construed this circular to mean that in all cases where a certificate to an invoice is procured from a consular officer of the United
States the fee therefor shall be returned to the Treasury as official,
without regard to the alleged destination of the goods; and those
officers are being so instructed when the subject is adverted to in their
correspondence with this Bureau. It seems to be the only practical arid
safe solution of the question, the difficulty being to ascertain in each
case the final disposition of the goods. Neither the assertion of the
shipper nor the writing upon the invoice that the goods are " for transit'Ms a guaranty of the absolute carriage of the merchandise through
and out of the United States.
There will now follow in the order of the divisions of the office some
exhibits resultant upon the adjustments of accounts and claims and
suitable remarks thereon, and at the end of the report will appear
the customary appendix, tables lettered from A to K, showing in
detail the condition of the public business to which they relate.

The total of salaries and expenses for this service is greater than
"that reported for last year, the excess being principally on the contingent expenses, foreign missions, which exceeds the amount for 1890
by $18,857.62.

There are six legations for which the salary accounts of the ministers
have not been received for the quarter ended June 30. Tbese are
pointed out in Table A of the Appendix.
The appropriations for salaries, charges d'affaires ad interim, $20,000,
and loss by exchange, diplomatic service, $2,500, have each been exceeded, the former by one-third and the latter by more than double
the amount appropriated.
'
The deficiencies in both of these appropriations are larger than they
were for last year.
Consular service.—Accounts of consular officers have been adjusted,
showing expenses for this service and official fees collected, as follows
(Tables B, C, D, and E of the Appendix):

The expenditures for the consular, service have exceeded the receipts
for the first time since 1886. The expenses show^ an increase of
$63,112.85 over last year, and the fees a falling off* of $61,510.68, making
a difference of $124,623.53. About seyen-eighths of the increase in expienses occurred in the '^ contingent expenses. United States consulates''and'^allowance for clerks at consulates." The remainder is
for *'salaries while receiving instructions and in transit" and " salairies,
consular service," for the former of which an appropriation was made
for this year for the first time, the appropriation for '' salaries, consular
service," having heretofore had to bear the extra compensation incident to instructions *and transits in addition to the regular salaries
while at post. The new appropriation is_a step in the right direction,
and the need therefor had been a subject of remark in the annual reXiorts of this office for a number of years. It was suggested in the report of this Bureau for the fiscal yeai" of 18S7 that an annual j)ermanent

appropriation should be made to cover the payments to consular officers
while receiving instructions, awaiting the receipt of their exequaturs
and making transits The new appropriation does not include the payments for time while awaiting the receipt of exequatur, w^hich it would
seem proper for it to do, as the payments made for time thiis employed
duplicate with the regular salary of the officer in charge of the post, as
in case of payments for instructions and transit salary.
Three appropriations have been exceeded b y t h e expenditures reported in the above summary, viz : "Salaries, consular officers not citizens," *' loss by exchange, consular service " and " contingent expenses,
United States consulates."
Consular fees.—The consular fees collected for official services are
stated in detail, as to the character and amount at each consulate, in
Table H of the Appendix (page 619), and aggregate, in kind and amount,
as follows:

The falling off' in the consular fees is upon invoice and currency certificates. The invoice fees are short in amount of those received last
year by $55,285.50 ; which, at the rate of $2.50 per invoice, would show
22,114 fewer dutiable importations of foreign goods into this country
during the year.

' The cost of relief of destitute American seamen for this year, namely,
$32,441.71, is less than it has been for the last two previous years, yet
the number of seamen relieved (1,282) is greater. "The amount of relief
reported for last year (1890) was $38,277.75, while the number of seamen aided was 1,174, and for the year before (1889) $34,813.19 were expended for 956 seamen.
I t is suggested whether the disbursement of a smaller sum for the
FIFTH AUDITOR.

care of a larger taumber of seamen may not indicate greater attention
by consular.officers to the duty of freeing their cousulates as soon as
possible ofthe subjects of relief, and thereby lessening the amount of
expense per capita.
The average amount of expense per head was $25.30.
The three largest amounts paid for relief by consular officers for the
year°were at consulates in Nova Scotia, namely:
At H a l i f a x . . . .
At Pictou
At Yarmouth

inclusive of amounts paid at the Treasury for certificates of transportation issued at those offices, the whole aggregating nearly one-third of
the total relief afforded seamen, and the men receiving it, numbering
511, amounted to nearly one-half of the whole number relieved duping
the year. And it is worthy of notice that while such heavy relief is
granted*by these consulates, the seamen's wages collected by them are
insignificant. I t may be stated also that the seamen receiving relief at
these and neighboring points are mainly fishermen, and many of them
appear in the reports to have been simply lost from their vessels, a condition considered unfavorable to relief, at least of the nature of clothing.

SIXTH AUDITOR.

Eeference was made in the last annual report of tbis office to tbe
reorganization of the Bureau, the changes adopted in the manner of
executing the work of auditing postal accounts and the consolidation
of records, and a statement was made of the results expected therefrom
in economy of labor and expedition of business. It aft'ords me pleasure
to state that the test of a year's experience has fully demonstrated the
practicability and value of the changes made. Under the system now
in use all postmasters in the United States were advised prior to September 30,1891, and in advance of the preparation of their returns for
that quarter, of the state of tjieir postal accounts as audited to June
30,1891, and this office is enabled on this date, October 10, 1891, to
submit to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the Postmaster General
a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the postal service for
the last fiscal year, a result not heretofore attained, and one hardly
possible to exceed under a system of quarterly accountability. The
change of methods has proven equally satisfactory in point of improvement, in correctness of work, and in the earlier collection of debit and
payment of credit balances. The gain has been no less in efficiency
than in promptness. An important advantage resulting from the iml}roved system has been experienced in the preparation duringthe
present year, without the least interference with current work, of the
large mass of material furnished by this office for the publication of the
Official Kegister of the United States, which formerly required a detail
of ten or fifteen clerks for several months.
The work of the several divisions engaged upon the accounts of
money-order business and those for mail transportation is in a satisfactory condition. Arrears of work in some of tbe divisions have been
fully brought up to date, so that settlements of accounts are made with
promptness. A change of assignment has been made, whereby the
''checking'' or comparison of money-order statements with their
vouchers is perfgrmed by the checking division, and all '^ assorting and
numbering "of money orders and postal notes by the ''assorting" division.
The offices of the money-order divisions have been transferred from
the building known as Marini's Hall to the handsome and commodious
Busch Building, on E street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, iiiimediately opposite the Post-Office Department, where the employes of
those divisions enjoy a degree of personal couifort and official convenience unknown to thein during the history of the Bureau. The steel
file and book cases adopted for the Busch Building, upon my recommendatioUo and through a special appropriation by Congress, have
proven most valuable for compactness, ease of access, and security
afforded to contents. It would be highly advantageous to have the system of these files adopted throughout the office.
1 renew the recommendation made in my last annual report to the
efi'ect that inasmuch as the ''Busch Building" is occupied wholly by
employes of the Treasury Departmient it should be placed in the custody and under the control of the Secretary of the Treasury^ I strongly
urge your attention to this recommendation, with a view to procuring
the necessary legislation. This request does not imply any dissatisfaction .on the part of this office with the present management of the
building, for all reasonable wants are supplied and the building is well
cared for in all respects. I desire the change simply on the ground
that, in my opinion, the head of the Treasury Department should exercise control over all the buildings occupied exclusively by Treasury
employes. There can be no better argument for continuing the present
632
' REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
control than could be found for transferring the custody of the offices
of the Second Auditor to the War Department, or those of the Fourth
Auditor to the Navy Department.
I desire to acknowledge my appreciation of your kind advice and
assistance in my official duties, and of the unvarying courtesy constantly extended to this office by your Assistant Secretaries and all the
officers of the Department. Whatever of utility and value I have been
enabled to accomplish has been due to the aid and support I have received from my superiors, and to the admirable devotion to the public
interest displayed by all the officers^and employes of this office throughout a trying year of hard labor.
Eespectfully submitted.

As a consequence of the extension, at 2 per cent, of a large part of the
funded loan of 1891, and the calling for redemption of the remainder of
that loan, the loans division, at the date of this report, has on hand
a large number of surplus unissued bonds which might properly be destroyed at an early date. There were no deliveries of surplus unissued
bonds to the destruction committee during the year.
The Avork in this division, during the last year, has been made unusually lieavy on account of the large redemptions of the 4 and 4J per
cent loa^ns, especially in August, Sejitember, and October, 1890.
A very large amount of extra work fias also been occasioned by the
prepayment of interest upon the registered 4 per cent and Pacific Eailroad bonds. Prepayments were made for tfie great bulk of the interest
due on these loans January 1, April 1, and July 1, 1891. G-reat care
was required to accurately distinguish between prepaid and nonprepaid
bonds, so as to avoid errors in transactions; and other precautions of
like n at ure were constantly necessary.
The following table shows the amount of principal upon which interest
Avas prepaid on registered bonds, at each of the dividends mentioned:

Progress has been made in the general index to all United States
registered bonds. The work Avas undertaken in January, 1889. The
card system was adopted. I t is proposed to make a card for every
account open upon the ledgers in this division, with such cross references as shall show the name of every party or corjioration Avhich appears
upon the face of any bond. Eacfi card will show all the various places
upon ledgers of the same loan, or of different loans^ where an account
may be found bearing the same title as is written at tfie head of tlie
card, and will obviate the necessity of searching througfi many volumes,
of indexes to ascertain the same facts. A large number of cards have
also been prepared in the case of foreign names, so that a person unaccustomed to the usages of foreign lands in regard to surnames may
" readily find any name which may be called for. So far as comi^leted,
the cards have all been arranged for reference.

aggregate, 4,468 vouchers, and amounting to $63,530,220,
. Table 2 gives a statement of interest checks, various loans on hand,
received, counted, and registered during the fiscal year. There is a
decrease of 35,301 cfiecks in the count, and 42,741 in the registration
and examination, this being due to the various purchases of registered
bonds, and the prepayment of interest on 4 J per cent registered bonds,
which naturally occasioned a corresponding decrease in receipt of
checks.
Table 2a gives the places of payment of interest checks, Avith numbers and ainounts summarized.
Table 2b gives the total number of interest checks received and on
file in this diAdsion to June 30, 1891.
Table 3 gives a statement of transactions in redeemed detached coupons, showing, as comj)ared Avith last year, a decrease in receipts, in
counting and verifying, in arranging numerically, and in examining;
while tfiere appears an increase in the number entered in numerical
registers? This decrease of work is attributable to the frequent temporary transfers .of counters to the currency section of this diAdsion, to
meet exigencies there, and has also been affected by occasional details
for special work in the offices of the Treasurer and Commissioner of
Internal Eevenue.
Table da shows the places of payment of aH redeemed detacfied coupons of various loans received within the year.
Table 3& is a statement of transactions in redeemed detached coupons

received in this division a grand total of .97,105,449 detached and redeemed coupons, amounting in value to $1,198,013,075.42.
Table 5 shows that in the receipt of coupon bonds, Avith coupons attached, there has been a decrease of 4,730 bonds, of $1,456,350 in value,
as compared with receipts last j^ear.
Table 6 shows work done in the currency section of this division, by
way of receipt, count, cancellation and destruction of A^-arioiis GoAT^ernment securities, including United States notes, gold and silver certificates, fractional currenc}^, and redeemed internal-revenue stamps. The

IMPROVEMENT I N CONDITION OF F I L E S .
Tfie work of rearranging, classifying, and numbering tfie files under
the custody of this division has progressed very commendably.
During the year, in compliance with an act of Congress, all of the
intermal-revenue stamp stub books and old papers of dates embraced
within the limits of the act, and weighing nearly 185 tons, were delivered to purchasers, thus effecting a gain of about 23,000 cubic feet of
files space, the great relief experienced from whicfi being only offset to
a small degree by tfie granting of 1,406 cubic feet of space to tfie Life-'
Saving Service and office of tfie superintendent.
The registration of old accounts, of Avhich no record had been made,
has been continued to the extent of 30,441, being a slight increase over
tfie amount of similar work performed last year. It is thought the
whole registration will be completed during the present fiscal year,
thus forming a valuable addition to the records of this Bureau.
The compiling of an alphabetical list.of 6,041 printed and manuscript
books in the custody of this division, has consumed considerable time,

but the list includes many old records, Avorn and torn, tfie accumulation
of years, from other offices of the Department, wfiich were not even
knoAvn to fiave been in existence until found in the progress of this
work.
Under the autfiority of Congress and tfie rules adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury, the agents appointed by tfie governors^ ol
Arkansas, Georgia, NoTtln Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia fiave
been furnivshed, during the year, witfi all books, papers, etc., necessary
to enable them to make a complete copy of any and all matter relative
to their respective States, in regard to refunding the direct tax collected
in 1865 and 1866.

DIVISION OF INTEREST AND EXPENSES OF PUBLIC LOANS.
(Numher representing average force employed, 4.28; cost, $6,112.50.)
\
Tfiis division fias continued tfie AVork for which it was created, namely,
the ascertaining and making separate account of what, has been expended by the Grovernment for interest, and Avhat for expenses of public
loans. I t was to have had the aid of one skilled clerk from the office of
the Secretary and another from the office of the Treasurer. Only a fcAV
months after its organization one of these clerks was sent to the office
of the assistant treasurer in New York, and the other became almost
blind, being thereby obliged to suspend work. Thereafter the labor
devolved on one chief, two clerks, and one messenger, until March 21
last, when one copyist was added to the force.
The obstacles to the progress of this force g r e ^ out of omissions to
comprehend and provide for such account keeping as would be adequate
to the vastness of the differences between the dollar value of gold and
of currency, and the great costs and expenses of placing and handling
the successive public loans, which, in the early days of the rebellion,
were not provided for by keeping separate the accounts of specie and
currency payments, and, not until 1870, by keeping separate accounts
of payments of interest and of exxienses by loans.
To supply the defects which grew out of these omissions, and rectify
these errors of omission, made the Avork of the division one of great
skill, intelligence, and labor.
The outcome of its extended labors, performed so very satisfactorily,
but the results of which have never Hitherto been set forth witfi mucfi
detail, appears in jiart in tfie annexed report, from which it will be seen
that the amounts of interest paid on loans, and of expenses in making
loans, are measurably ascertained, and that a detailed statement of
same will soon be given to the printer. I t already appears that during
the twenty-six years fi^om 1860 to 1886 the G-overnment paid out for
interest on its loans $2,232,240,026.84, and from 1835 to and including
1859, approximately, $40,862,254.94; making a total outlay for interest
on loans of substantially $2,273,102,281.78.
I t further appears that the cost of making public loans for tAventy-five
years, from 1860 to 1885, was $39,215,074.19, and tfiat for loans from
1835 to 1860, approximately, $650,382.81; making a total cost, from
1835 to 1885, of just about $39,865,457.

REPORT ON THE. FINANCES.
The fiistory of the organization of tfiis division has been heretofore
given in tfie reports of tfie Eegister of tfie Treasury for tfie years 1888,
1889, and 1890.
Tfie cbaracter of tfie work to be done necessarily compels the employment for tfie most part of expert clerks, involving as it does tfie most
extensive and intricate accounts between the Treasurer of the United
States) tfie assistant treasurers, and accounts of various disbursing
officers and agents Avitfi tfie Government.
To separate tfie interest paid by loans under tfie general head of
^interest on tfie public debt," (for not until 1870 was an account
opened witfi eacfi loan), to trace and apply repayments where they
properly belonged, etc., and see that each item Avas in every instance as far as possible absolutely correct, Avas a task alike acute and
burdensome, many single items out of the thousands dealt witfi having
often taken weeks of research and close fiard work to determine satisfactorily; and wfien, some years ago, it was found that siicfi information was desirable, and tfie subject of making a complete and intelligible statement of tfie amounts paid by loans out of tfie appropriations
known as ^4nterest on the public debt," running from 1841 and 1842
to 1870, was discussed it was considered by most of those familiar Avith
the work as quite impossible to accomplish, as the items had been
entered witfiout a view of ever separating tfiem by loans; and considering the complicated state of tfie undertaking, the time over AA^hicfi it
has extended, and tfie numerous accounts, vouchers, and Avarrants that
had to be examined and compared, the result has not only been marvelous, but surprisingly satisfactorj^, from its completeness and success,
showing also, as it does, how faitfiful and honest fias been tfie accounting, by tfie trusted employes of tlie Government, in tfiese great borrowing transactions.
To ascertain tfie expenses of making tfie Government loans invoh^es
the examination of the expenses and transactions of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the accounts kept by many branches of the
Treasury service, commissions and premiums paid, transactions with
banks and bankers in this country and Europe," amounts paid express
companies, etc.
The information once fully olitained will not only be of historic interest, but of intrinsic value for future reference by tfie Government.
Tfie work of tfie division is being done under tfiree general fieads: (1)
Interest paid on loans; (2) expenses paid in making tfie loans; (3) premiums received and paid, and discounts on loans. All tfie AVork done
so far has been under the first two fieads. o
THE WORK s o FAR ACCOMPLISHED.
The division having completed its work on the amount of interest
paid from 1860 to 1885, inclusive, is noAV at work completing the
accounts on the amount of interest paid from 1835 to 1860, A\^hicfi work
is progressing as rapidly as tfie limited force at our command will allow. Tfie utmost difficulty exists i n ' determining tfie payments by
loans, in accounts dealing witfi unclaimed dividends, and in payment of
accounts of some old loans, the items having to be traced througfi innumerable books back to tfie beginning of the Government. Still, we
are far enougfi along to approximately state the amount between the
latter dates.
,'
"
Tlie amounts* paid from 1860 to 1885 are being copied in book form,
and will soon be ready to be printed or filed away.
645
EEGISTEE.
Appended is a table shoAv^ing the amount of interest paid eacfi j^ear,
from 1860 to 1885, inclusive, and the amounts paid in. 1886 out of and
belonging to the appropriation of 1885, Av^hich total, for the tAventy-six
years, is $2,232,240,026.84.
There is also aiDpended a table, approximately correct, of the amounts
paid for interest, by years, from 1835 to 1859, inclusive, amounting to
$40,862,254.94, making a total cost for interest, from 1835 to 1885, of just
about $2,273,102,281.78.
The amounts in this table from 1835 to 1860 are the original footings,
which may be varied by revision and correction, but they are substantially correct. All the above payments are made up from accounts entered on the books of the Eegister^s Office within the years res^iectively dealt with. Thus the initial year of each of the periods named
takes up and carries forward, until disposed of, all balances in personal accounts and outstanding warrants remaining unsettled at the
end of the next preceding year; and, as has already been stated, the
payments in accounts entered in 1886 out of appropriations made in
1885, while added in the aggregate, are separately given. This AA^ork
from 1835 to 1859, inclusive, as soon as compared and corrected, Avill
be copied in book form, the same as the other, and should be printed
for preservation and use.

The balance of the items, over one hundred in all, are composed of
such as gas, coal, type, hardware, lumber, repairs, etc.
The amount of expenses betAveen the years 1835 and 1860 is being
calculated, and the schedules are made up, though not yet corrected
and compared; but the footings, Avhich are approximately correct, show
that these expenses amount to $650,382.81, to which add $39,215,074.19
and Ave have a grand total of $39,865,457 from 1835 to 1885.
All the work, after being copied, should be printed for convenience
and preservation.
I t is doubtful if a more difficult task in figures was ever undertaken,
but tfiat it is being successfully accomplisfied is certain.

Tfiere have been examined OA^er fifty tliousand vouchers, and a greater
numberoof accounts, some of the latter being of great length and variety
of items; and in making up our items and scliediiles, the numbers of
accounts and voucliers fiave been preserved for reference thereto wfien
desired.
Tfie discount and premium account, of Avhich at present little can be
said except that it is extensive and difficult, Avill receive attention as
soon as the Avork laid out is completed; and we apprehend a reliable
statement thereof can be made.
In justice to the clerks of the division, it should be stated that, in addition to the vast amount of;work they have done on the accounts, the
diAasion, small as it is, responded to a call made upon it by the Eegister
to meet an* exigency in^the dispatch of public business, and by the close
of the fiscal year examined and put in typewritten form, ready for issuing drafts over 25,000 claims for ^^Eebate of tax on tobacco'^ under act
of December 15,1890.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN H . KING,
Chief of Division of Interest and JExpenses of Public Loans.
Hon. W. S. ROSECRANS,
Eegister ofthe Treasury.
C L O S m a OBSERVATIONS,
In closing tfie foregoing summary of the operations of this Bureau, for
the past fiscal year, it seems proper to submit such observations as
especially deserve tlie attentive consideration and action of tfie head
of the Department, to whom the law has given a Treasurer to receiA^e
and pay out all moneys for the Government and a Register to keep ac- •
count thereof.
OUTLOOK FOR THE VARIOUS DIVISIONS.
The receipts and expenditures branch of tfie Register's office must
grow with the growth of the country's business.
That of loans depends on the A^olume of transactions in United States
bonds, and its force varies with the volume of them.
The note, coupon and currency division depends on the receipt of interest checks and annual redemptions of notes, coin certificates, fractional currency and otfier evidences of public debt, received, counted,
r.egistered, scfieduled, and filed away or destroyed.
C A T A L O a U I N a OF F I L E S .
Tfie custody, preservation and fiandling of public files of accounts
and papers, and cataloguing them so as to assure prompt and certain
reference to them, will still require much labor on the part of a steady
force of skilled clerks before all the files of tfie Bureau are rendered
promptly accessible for immediate securing of information tfierein.
PRESENT PERIL OF RECORDS.
The files, valuable as tfiey may be, now in custody of this Bureau,
are stored partly in six basement rooms and six attic rooms of this
building, and in five basement rooms in the Winder building.
648
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
" About one-tenth of tiiem are in files room A, in this basement, in
fire-proof cases, on iron sfielves, closed by iron doors.
All tfie rest, tfie preservation of wfiich is so imperative, are kept on
Avooden shelves, in bundles tied by twine cords or tape, wfiicfi soon
decay. They are exposed to, and are suffering from, the gnawing of
rats, mice, cockroaches and other vermin and insects; and to decay
and fire. Tfie ex]Dosed ends of bundles from 60 to 90 years old fiave
begun to crumble, so as to destroy tfiem as records.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN RECORDS.
e
All accounts kept in the Treasury Departinent ougfit to be tfiorougfily
catalogued, filed flat, and retained in proper sfieet-metal cases.
There should be legal provision for regularly segregating those files
not likely to be useful in current work from those lilcely to be called
for, cataloguing and removing the former to a suitable i)lace to be
known as a hall of records.
Those files wfiicfi fiave ceased to fiave pecuniary or historic value,
after thorough cataloguing, should annually be sent to the macerating
tank to be made into pulp and sold.
Should the fionorable Secretary of the Treasury so will it, tfiese suggested improvements in filing could be effected, gradually, at a comparatively smaU outlay.
Tfie new system ougfit to embrace flat filing, for reasons given on
page 15 of the Register's Report for 1890.
A R E N E W L OF IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS.
To avoid repetition reference is fiere made to pages 16 and 17 of my
report for 1890, in wfiicfi tfiere are set fortfi reasons for tfie ibllowing
improvements: (1) Making correction of certain entries; and (2) the
creation, in this office, of a diAdsion wherein shall be kept final balances
of accounts and details of cost and expenses of all public buildings and
grounds.
Tfiese improvements fiave been considered of such impdrtance as to
call for annual mention in the Register's reports, for the last five or six
years, and no Senator or Representative wfio fias looked into tfie matters is known to fiave exiDressed any dissent from tfie views setting
forth the great desirability, and even necessity, of such business-like
legislation; on the contrary, many of eacfi fiave favored siicfi views;
and tfie only explanation for tfie non-accomplisfiment of tfie needed
legislation, seems to lie in tfie stronger pressure of numerous otfier"
matters upon tfie attention of Congress, and tfie absence of sufficiently
active and definite efforts in favor of siicfi legislation on tfie part of its
friends.
I t is believed tfiat a vigorous recommendation from tfie fionorable
Secretary of tfie Treasury would secure sucfi legislation and action as
would give tfiese needed reforms, and form an era in tfie fiistory of tfie
administration of tfie Treasury Department.
Respectfully submitted.

SIR : I have the honor to submit the'following report of the operations of the division of special agents for the past fiscal year:

$321, 920.25
Amount expended for salaries'and traveling expenses of special a.2:ents. $83, 019.54.
From these figures it will appear that the special agents ifave been
actively engaged during the past year in the detection and prevention
offrauds upon the custom^ revenue, and in the examination ofthe books,
papers, and accounts of customs officers—duties prescribed for them by
law. The supervision of the agents appointed for the care and protection of the seal islands in Alaska, and of the officers for the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion acts, has recently been assigned to this
divisioiio
As illustrative ofthe methods employed to evade the customs revenue,
I mention the following cases, some of which, have been subjects oi
newspaper commento
1. Certain French manufacturers of kid gloves, through their American agents, sought to have their goods appraised at less than the true
market value, and induced the appraising officers to accept their values
as correctc The facts coming to the knowledge of officers of this division, reappraisements were ordered and resulted in substantial advances in values, notwithstanding a bitter contest by the importers,
and a large amount of duties was thus saved to the Treasuryo Other
importers of gloves, as well as American manufacturers^ were deeply
interested in these cases, their business interests being jeopardized by
such undervaluationSo
2o One or more dealers in silks and high-class dress goods in Paris
had adopted a system of sending agents to our principal cities for the
purpose of taking orders from reputable dressmakers for goods to be
delivered to them duty paid. The goods thus^ forwarded were consigned
to a custom-house broker and entered by him at low values, in some

REPORT ON THE FINANCES,
iustances representing not more than one-fourth of the actual price or
market value in PariSo A seizure of a. number of packages of goods of
this character was made in FewYork, and it is believed that this class
of frauds has been suppressed.
3. I t having been alleged that Canadian dealers were selling goods
to American tourists, to be delivered by express, an investigation disclosed that conductors and porters of sleeping cars on lines crossing the international boundary were actively engaged in this system
of smuggling. One of them was detected, the goods in his possession seized, and the offender committed for trial. A large number of
packages thus smuggled have been traced through the books of express
offices, where they were deposited for shipment to destination. I t is
believed that the action taken in these cases has had a wholesome Effect
in deterring merchant tailors and others in Canada from employing
such methods to increase their business, and from the practice which
has existed of sending agents to our cities and towns to solicit orders
for clothing to be delivered by unlawful means.
4. Frauds upon the revenue, by what is known as the ^^dunimy''
package system, practiced so extensively some years ago, have been
revived. A seizure was recently made at San Francisco of imported
goods received'there by rail under immediate transiDortation bond from
New York. The invoice and entry presented at the custom-house described four packages of cotton quilts of the value of $327.69. One
j)ackage was sent to the appraiser's store for examination and the other
three were ordered to be delivered from the cars to the importer mthout
examination. The package selected for ai^praisment contained cotton
quilts according to the invoice, while the others, upon seizure, before
>.they reached the importer's hands, were found to contain silks, dress
goods, and other merchandise paying high rates of duty of the value of
$2,973. The extent to wliich these frauds have been perpetrated is not
yet fully disclosed. The records show that the firm implicated has imported more than a thousand cases of goods, and it is probable that a
large proportion of the invoices were fraudulent; a searching investigation is in progress, but it is to be regretted that there is no legal method
by which an inspection of their- books can be enforced for the purpose of ascertaining the amount due from them to the public treasuiy.
I t seems clear that such a system of fraud could not be carried on successfully under the customs regulations except by collusion with the
official whose duty it was to designate the packages to be examined.
That officer, in the present instance, has been dismissed, and an investigation is in progress for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not
sufficient proofs can be obtained to sustain criminal proceedings against
him.
5. Evidence has been discovered tending to prove that American
liquors exported Avithout the payment of internal-revenue tax, which
are ordinarily liable upon reimportation to a duty of 90 cents per galloii,
have been manipulated or fortified abroad in such manner as to change
their character, and thus render them liable to a duty of 12.50 per gallon imposed by law upon imported spirits. The evidence has been submitted to the proper legal officers, and the questions involved 'will be
determined by the courts.
The foregoing are typical cases selected from many others upon which
the special agents are constantly engaged, and the investigation of whicli
has caused the recovery of increased duties and penalties and checked
fraudulent practices. This has not been "accomplished without some
i ritation and in instances criticism in the public press, inspired doubt
SUPERVISING SPECIAL AGENTo

less by those whose invoices have been called in question, as well as by
merchants of unquestioned integrity who have unadvisedly given ear
to the complaints of agents of foreign manufacturers seeking admission of their goods at fictitious values, to the manifest loss of revenue and
injury to honest trade,
^
I t is unfortunately true that public officers on account of such opposition a.nd criticism sometimes shrink from the performa.nce of a plain
dutyc A special agent who should fail in his duty from such considerations would be unfit for his position, and this reuiark applies to all
officers charged with the enforcement of the revenue laws.
I t has been the purpose of the special agents under the instructions
and regulations of the Department to so perform the delicate and important labors devolviug upon them as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience or embarrassment to business interests, and it is gratifying to note
that in their work the,y have had the full confidence and support of successive Secretaries of the Treasury during the past twenty years. But
the duties alluded to by no means include all the work performed by
these officers. Eegular and systematic examinations made by them as
often as once a year of the books, accounts, and methods of business in
each of the custom-houses, secure the correction of irregularities and
promote the efficiency of the customs service. They have also been
called ui)on, under special and confidential instructions of the Secretary,
to conduct many important and difficult investigations, requiring the
exercise of abiUty, honesty, and sound judgment, and their reports in
these cases have been the basis of executive action.
The success of the G-overnment in obtaining a verdict in the hat-trimmings case recently tried in Philadelphia, the questions at issue involvving many millions of dollars, was due in large measure to the indefatigable efforts of officers of this division who were assigned to aid the district attorney in the preparation of the suit for trial.
One^of the serious questions confr^onting the department in the exercise of its function of collecting the revenue is the great difficulty under
present conditions of enforcing the laws against smugglers who make
the Dominion of Canada the base of their operations. IJntil within the
past few years the long line of fr'ontier from Lake Superior to the Pacific
Ocean needed but little watch care, as the international boundary line
ran through a region, some hundreds of miles in width, practically un-'
inhabited. 'Now all this is changed; railways running parallel on both
sides of the boundary line, intersected by other railways crossing the
line, have brought with them population and constant communication
between the two countries. There are but four collection districts upon
the northern frontier between the Lake of the Woods and the Pacific
Ocean, a distance of about eleven hundred miles, each district embracing a large territory. The number of officers for preventive duty upon
this long line of frontier does not exceed twenty, and the present customs appropriation will not admit of any material increase of this force.
Although these officers are active and vigilant, making frequent captures of smuggled goods, chiefly opium, it is apparent that their efforts
to prevent smuggling are, in a large degree, futile. A similar condition
of aff'airs exists upon the long boundary line between the United States
and Mexico.
The district of Puget Sound, comprising many islands within a few
miles of British territory and a long.line of water front, furnishes
facilities for smuggling and the clandestine introduction of Chinese,
against which the customs officers have vainly contended. The revenue
steamer on that station, under its present energetic commander, has
852
' REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
done good work in checking smuggling,. but this vessel is unfit, on
account of her size and want of speed, to render an efficient^serviceo
It is believed that it will be necessary to employ a nuimber of speedy
steam launches to patrol the waters of Puget Sound in order to break
up this illicit traffic.
I am reliably informed that during the last year 125,000 pounds of
crude opium were imported and manufactured at Yictoria, making
about 70,000 pounds ofthe prepared article for smoking purposesf^ and
that nearly every pound of it was smuggled into the IJnited States.
It is more profitable to take the-risk of an occasional capture and confiscation than to pay the enormous duty of $12 per pound, which is
prohibitive of legitimate importations and is the essential basis of the
smuggler's profit. Eeduce the duty to $4 per pound and his occupation
will be gone. The present arrangement benefits the Canadian government, which collects $1 per pound upon the crude opium used in the
manufacture of the prepared article. Our tariff' act of 1890 admits crude
opium containing 9 per cent of morphia fr'ee, but imposes a duty of
$12 per pound upon opium of a lower grade, such as is used in the
preparation of the drug for smoking purposes, the same rate as is
imposed upon prepared opium. The practical effect of this is that the
revenue formerly derived from imported opium is turned over to Canada and to smugglers. I t were better to declare all opium free of duty
than to leave the present laws on the statute book. The enormous
profits in opium smuggling, due entirely to the high duty, have induced
the employment of large capital and a great number of bold, skillful
men to engage in the illicit traffic made so alluring by existing laAvs.
But the smuggling of opium is not the only alarming consequence
following the opening up of the railways through Manitoba, the Northwest Territory, and British Columbia, The various acts of Congress
having for their object the exclusion of Chinese laborers fr'om the United
States are practically nullified bythe clandestine introduction of Chinese
coming direct from China through the Dominion of Canada. The steamers
ofthe Canadian Pacific Eailway Company land Chinese at Vancouver by
thousands. The Canadian Grovernment collects a head tax of $50 upon
each Chinese person and gives him a certificate which enables him to
return to Canada without payment of the tax a second tkne should he
be detected in entering the United States. The law provides that any
Chinese person found unlawfully within the United States shall be
caused to be removed therefrom to the country whence he came, at the
cost of the United States, after being brought before some justice, judge,
or commissioner of a court of the United States, and found to be one not
entitled to remain in the United States. Inasmuch as nine-tenths of the
Chinamen caught within our lines near the Canadian frontier come direct from China, although they enter by way of Canada, they have been
treated, so far as this Department is concerned, and in accordance with
the views of the Attorney-General, as liable to deportation to China as
the country whence they came.
The act of September 13, 1888, which by its terms would seem to be
inoperative until the exchange of .ratifications of the then pending treaty
between the United States and China (which was never ratified), contains certain provisions for an appeal from the decision of the commissioner in these cases to the courts! Such appeals havebeen entertained
by the courts, and in several cases they have ..given the statute another
construction from that of the head of this Department and of the Attorney-General, by deciding that Canada, and not China, was the country
whence these Chinamen came^ within the meaning of the law. .The
SUPERVISING SPECIAL AGENT
o
853
effect of this is that Chinese persons once returned to Canada again enter
the country, and repeated instances of this kind have occurred. Thus
the object of the Chinese restriction acts is practically defeated.
The necessity for a revision of the customs laws, and particularly for
a reorganization of customs districts with a view to the abolishment or
consolidation of districts in which little or no customs business is done,
is shown by the tabular statement of the business of the several districts
during the last fiscal year, hereto appended. It will be seen that in
thirty-one districts and ports no duties were collected, and in fortythree of them the expenses exceeded the receipts. The decay of commerce in many ofthe old customs districts, coupled with the rapid growth
ofthe Northwest and the need for the creation of new ports and districts upon the coast as well as frontier, would seem to demand new
and comprehensive legislation upon this subject.
Eespectfully yours,

EEPOET 0 ¥ IMMIGEATIO^, BY THE GHIEF OF THE MIBCELLAMEO¥S BIYISIOl", OFFICE OF THE SECEETAEY OF THE TEEAS.¥EY.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT^
O F F I C E OF THE SECRETARY^
Washington^ B . G.^ July 15., 1891o
S I R : I liave tlie lionor to submit a statement sliowing the receipts
and disbursements of the immigrant fund from the date of the act of
August 3^ 1882j creating the fund, to June 30, 1891; also some tables
showing, (1) the number of immigrants who arrived at the several
ports during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, and the number
excluded and returned; (2) the nativity, (3) the destination, and (4)
the trades or occupations of all the 516,253 immigrants who arrived
during the year.
The statement of receipts and disbursements shows the total amount
of per capita tax collected at each port from the passage of the immigration act of August 3, 1882, to June 30, 1891, and the total amount
expended in conducting the business at each port for the, same period
of time, and the balances on hand; also the balances June 30, 1890, for
comparison. I t will be observed that there was a laxge accretion of
surplus during the year, am.ounting to $144,842.20. Over $134,000 of
this sum accumulated at the port of E^ew York, where more than 78
per cent of the immigrants landed, and is mainly attributable to two
causes, viz, the increased influx of immigrants, which added largely to
the collections of head money, and the reduced cost for the support and
care of immigrants under the management of Treasury officials, as compared with the expenses previously incurred for the same purposes by
the Commissioners of Emigration of the State of E"ew York.
On June 11, $125,000 was set aside to meet the expenses in the improvements on Ellis Island, leaving a balance of $245,332,52, and it is
probable that as much more will be required before the Island can be
occupied for immigration purposes.
The experience derived from the first half-yearns management of immigration affairs at the port of E"ew York by Treasury officials
confirmed the Department in its opinion that joint control by State and
Federal authorities was io compatible with the best s.ervice. More
prompt and harmonious action was evident, and greater economy was
certainly assured. The advisability of terminating all existing contracts with State boards and State commissions seemed to be apparent, though the business was being economically conducted by most of
the contracting partieSo

IMMIGRATION.
'.861
Immigration of Portland, Me., e.ach contained a five-year clause similar in all respects to the one quoted, as follows •
And the party of the second p a r t shall provide at the hospitals and other public
institutions controlled by the State of Massachusetts suitable accommodations for
such alien immigrants as shall become sick, or in distress, or Idiotic, or insane, or a
public charge for a period not exceeding five years from the time of such immigrants^
landing at their j>ort of arrival in Massachusetts.
The Department having determined to change this stipulation in the
contracts to one year instead of five, gave official notice, under date oi
Eebruary 11, 1891, to each of the contracting parties above mentioned
that from March 1 the said clause in the contract would be so modified, and requested them to signify their consent to the change in writing. Prompt replies accepting the modification desired by the Department were received from all the boards notified except the State Board
of Lunacy and Charity of Massachusetts, which, after some delay, requested that the proposed change take place one month later, to which
proposition the Department did not consent. The contracts being thus
modified a uniform period in which aid might be rendered was established at all ports. Meanwhile the administration of the laws by Treasury
officers at New York was constantly growing in'favor at the Department, and pending legislation promised to cure some of the existing
difficulties which prevented a strict execution of both immigration and
alien contract-labor laws.
On Mar^ch 3, 1891, the act amendatory to the immigration and alien
contract-labor laws which was |)assed late in the second session ofthe
Fifty-first Congress, became elective, and the Department at once proceeded to develop by practical tests at the several ports, through the
local officials then in charge, what changes if any would be requisite in
the local management and what changes in the regulations and instructions should be made in order to insure a thorough execution of the
new law. Duringthe months folloAving. immigrants were arriving at
all the ports in very large numbers, aud it was. deemed best to strengthen
temporarily the hands of the officials at Boston, Baltimore, and Philadelphia by the appointment of additional inspectors at these ports to
assist the State boards, rather than at this time make any change
which might, during the busy season, interrupt the prompt dispatch ot
business. Accordingly contemplated termination of the existing contract system was delayed until June 2, 1891, when the following letter
was addressed to the State Board of Lunacy and Charity of Massachusetts and substantially similar ones to the Pennsylvania Board of
Public Charities and the State Board of Iipamigration of Maryland:
GrENTLEMEN: The agreement entered into by the Secreta;ry of the Treasury, party
of the first part, and by the State board of lunacy and charity of Massachusetts,
the party of the second part, dated December 2, 1882, contains this provision:
'^That this contract may be revoked by either party thereto giving to the other
party sixty da^s^ notice in Avriting of their intention to terminate said contract, and
v^hen sixty days shall have expired after such notice shall be given this contract
shall cease and terminate.^^
In pursuance of the above provision, I hereby give notice t h a t sixty days after
this date, t h a t is to say, on the 31st day of July, 1891, the contract above mentioned
will be revoked, cease, and terminate, and thereafter the services of the State board
of Lunacy and Charity of Massachustts will not be required' in the local affairs of
immigration at the ports in Massachussetts.
This action is taken in view of the immigration act of March 3, 1891, which in
section 8 contains the following provision:
^^All duties imposed and powers conferred b y t h e second section of the act of
August third, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, UJDOU State commissioners, boards,
or officers acting under contract with the Secreta;iy of the Treasury shall be performed and exercised, as occasion mav arise, by the inspection officers o f t h e United
States,^^

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The law evidently contemplates, and an efficient admiaistration of the immigration statutes requires, t h a t the management shall be uniform a t aU ports.
I tak© this occasion to assure you t h a t this Department highly appreciates t h e
fidelity with which the Board has discharged the duties devolved upon it under the
contract soon to be terminated.
Respectfully, yours,
CHARLES FOSTER,
Secretary.
The most notable events in immigration ma;tters during the paist year
were the extraordinarily large volume of immigration to the Ui.ijted
States, and the general iaterest manifested by the people during th.e
discussion ofthe question in Congress, and by the daily press before and
after the passaige of the act of March 3. The general tendency of feeling
Avas seemingly favorable to a rigid exclusion of the dangerous and undesirable classes.
The alien contract-labor law had not met the anticipations of its most
ardent advocates before Congress. Its evasion by persons who desired
to import skilled labor, mechanics, or experts at any trade or calling,
seemed to be easily accomplished, and convictions for violations of its
provisions were rare. A few hundred contract laborers had been detected and returned, but it was generally believed that greater numbers,
who had been better tutored, escaped detection and passed to their destinations. As a bar to the admission of cheap labor, which was claimed
for the act by many of its friends, it proved almost a complete failure,
the cheap class of laborers continuing to flow into the country Avithout
hindrance, seeking emplo^nnent after arrival.
The act of March 3, 1891, was intended to cure the defects in both
the alien contract-labor law and the immigration law. Four months'
experience, to July 1, of its operation at the ports of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and a few others of the larger ports
has established beyond doubt the feasibility of enforcing with reasonable thoroughness its prohibitive features at these ports. There are,
however, a number of minor ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts where preventive measures require to be strengthened. Aii instance of one method of evading the vigilance of the immigration
authorities is shown in the case of Holyer Petersen and wife, Avho
arrived at the port of New York about May 20 last, and Av^ere,- on tlieir
O VL testimony, adjudged to be polygamists, and Avere consequently
AT
sent back by the vessel which brought them. They returned, however,
with, a number of other Mormons, arriving at the port of New York on
June 29, but did not attempt to land.
On the 2d of July the immigrant inspectors learned43hat the party had
been transferred to another steamer, and were en route for Norfolk,
Ya., but telegraphic instructions, which were immediately sent to
the collector at that port to examine and detain them if found to be
polygamists, failed to reach him in time, as the party had landed and
started for Utah, via the Norfolk and Western Eailroad, the evening
before. But it is apparent from information gathered on this subject
from immigration officials, and hereafter quoted, that the majority of
undesirable and prohibited immigrants have been entering the United
States over the northern border, after haAdng landed at Canadian ports.
On April 9 the Department advised the collectors of customs at
Portland, Me., Ogdensburg, N. Y,, and other ports on the northern
border to the efiect that it was reported that large numbers of immi' grants from European ports were coming to Canadian ports, thence
across the border into the United States, in consequence of the additional restrictions imposed by the act of March 3 and the more rigid
C H I E F OF MISCELLANEOUS DIVISION
IMMIGRATION,

inspection at the port of New York, and requested them to report
whether such statements were true.
On April 13 the collector at Portland, Me., reported that on March
27 the steamship Garthagenia arrived at that port Avlth 43 immigrants,
having previously landed 100 at Halifax^ that on March 30 the steamship Sarnia arrived there with 30 immigrants, having i3reviously landed
600 at Halifax; that on Aj^ril 7 the steamship Parisian arrived with
74 immigrants, having landed 1,000 at Halifax; that on April 10 the
steamship Oregon arrived with 15 immigrants, having landed 494 at
Halifax.
The folloAving remarks are quoted from the report of the secretary of
the Commissioners of Immigration at Portland, Me,, covering the fiscal
year ending June 30:
The steamers t h a t make this their landing place bring less than one-sixth of their
passengers to this p o r t ; t h e others they land at Halifax,- and the great bulk of them
do not stop in Canada, but come directly to this country by railroad. More than
this, for nearly seven months in the year a great number of steamers enter the St.
Lawrence River, bringing a very large number of passengers who seek homes in this
country. We think it safe to say t h a t the immigration from this source exceeds thn t
of all other American ports except New York.
^
Immigrant Inspector F. A, Woodbridge, writing from Newport, Y t ,
under date of April 16, says:
For the past month alien immigration passing through this port has averaged 400
persons per day. I am not prepared to state t h a t any large proportion of these immigrants come from Europe; t h e majority of them come from the eastern provinces
of Canada, notably the vicinity of Quebec.
AVe are receiving at this port three carloads of these French Canadians each day,
who are en route to the various manufacturing towns in New England, and a large
number of them are, in my opinion, under an implied contract to labor.
The recent legislation intended particularly to regulate immigration,
along the Canadian border is contained in the last paragraph of section
8 of the act of March 3, viz:
That the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe rules for inspection along tbe
borders of Canada, British Columbia, and Mexico, so as not to obstruct or unnecessarily delay, impede, or annoy passengers in ordinary travel between said countries:
Provided, That not exceeding one inspector shall be appointed for each customs district, and whose salary shall not exceed twelve hundred dollars per year.
This clause, instead of being in harmony with the general prohibitive
featuries of the act and the ample authority vested in the Secretary to
supervise the business of immigration at seaboard ports, restricts him
to very narroAV limits in prescribing regulations for inspection along
the northern and southern borders. If immigration continues over the
border in the nunibors above reported, it will be impossible for one
inspector in each customs district to properly examine them and keep
the required record of their number, natiAdty, etc., and even with the
aid of contract-labor inspectors it will be impracticable to satisfactorily
examine into the condition of immigrants without to some extent
obstructing, delaying, impeding or anfioying ^^passengers in ordinary
travel between said countries,^' especially on railroad trains.
The immigration business continued to be transacted in this division
until the second week in Julj^, when it was transferred to the Immigration Bureau created by the seventh section of the act of March 3,1891,
and this report is made to cover only the business^ of the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1891.
