ANNUAL REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Washington., D, (7., December 6^ 1909,
SIR : I have the honor to submit the following report:
ESTIMATES.

The estimates of expenditures for the executive departments for the
fiscal year 1911, submitted herewith, are the result of great attention on the part of heads of departments. The consideration of
these estimates was taken up at an unusually early time and continued
until now. The aim has been to reduce them to as low amounts as
is practicable, in conformity with the policy of the Administration
to recognize practically the recent and present disparity between
revenues and expenditures, and to seek the necessary adjustment
through reduced expenditures on the one hand and needed revenues
on the other.
The total esti'mates for 1911, including the Naval building program,
are $684,132,197.21. Excluding the increase in the Panama Canal
estimates, the total estimates for 1911 show a decrease ol $57,244,493.89
under the appropriations for 1910. Including the increase in the
Panama Canal estimates, the total estimates for 1911 show a decrease
of $42,818,969.19 under the appropriations for 1910.
For the fiscal year 1910 the Naval building program was not included in the estimates submitted to the Congress. It is, therefore,
a matter of interest to note that when the Naval building program is
eliminated from the estimates for the fiscal 3^ears 1910 and 1911, the
total estimates for 1911 are $94,001,492.92 less than the total estimates
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910.
The increasing appropriations from year to year have become a
' recognized incident of the general growth of the Government's business, due to the growth of the country and the increase in the Government's occupations and undertakings. A summary of estimates,
therefore, which shows no increase over previous years means that a
large retrenchment has been made. This applies not only to the total
estimates of the department but to the estimates of its individual
branches. So that estimates showing a reduction of totals is a double
13518—FI 1909

REPORT ON T H E EINANCES.

retrenchment—a retrenchment of the actual amount reduced and a
retrenchment of the usual increase.
Th§ estimates submitted have no intentional exaggeration in them.
If at any previous time there was shown a tendency to exaggerate
estimates without an expectation of their full appropriation, the case
is now quite different. While the final authority in appropriations
rests with Congress, it is proper to present the estimates for the coming year as a careful measure of the actual and irreducible needs of
the Government.
The estimates of receipts, with their very long look ahead, are
always subject to many vicissitudes, and perhaps never more than
now, when the revenue results of the new tariff law are still largely
undetermined, when the new conditions affecting the internal revenue from distilled spirits and fermented liquors are still a factor,
and when the corporation tax is yet unexecuted. The estimates must
therefore be taken as the best under the circumstances.
For the fiscal 3^ear 1910, the ordinary receipts are estimated at
$648,000,000, and the ordinary disbursements at $682,075,620.12,
showing a deficit inordinary receipts of $34,075,620.12. When the
payments on account of the Panama Canal and the public debt are
added, the total deficit of the fiscal year 1910 is estimated at
$73,075,620.12.
The estimated ordinary receipts for 1911 are $672,000,000, and the
estimated ordinary appropriations $636,068,672.51, or a surplus in
ordinary receipts of $35,931,327.49. When the Panama Canal estimates for 1911 are added the surplus is turned into a deficit of
$12,132,197.21.
Since the Treasury has not at present, either in the banks or in its
vaults, materially more than a working balance, it will become necessary, in order to meet these deficits, to sell either bonds or certificates
of indebtedness. I n due course it would seem that it must be made
practicable to both estimate receipts, with a close approximation to
the actual, and to provide for their annual rise or fall by the introduction of some.flexible factors in our annual taxation. The hard
rigidity of the present revenue system, with its recurrent economical
agitations and its long intervals of fixity, with no annual adjustinentj
can not always satisfy the Government or the nation.
ECONOMIES.

I t is a favorable opportunity—partly created by the influence of
the deficit—to consider the Government's outgo, not alone in its
totals, but in its details, and to institute proper economies. The time
is clearly ripe for wise and judicious savings in federal expenditure ; and if this should be successfully accomplished there is a pros-

pect that the example would influence the overhauling of state and
municipal expenditures, to the great advantage of the nation.
There are two classes of reductions in the present estimates. One
class is of those economies which result from an improved handling
of the Government work, and from cutting off expenditures which are
discovered to be avoidable without injury to the service or to the
people. These result from a close scrutiny, and this scrutiny of
course has, as it were, just begun, and must be a continuous process
to become completely effective. This class of economies is permanent
and undeniably wholesome.
The other class consists of postponements of expenditures which
can be delayed, in an effort to adjust immediate expenses and receipts.
Such reductions are not wholly permanent; but even in ,these cases
the more thorough scrutiny and consideration which they are receiving and the greater interest in proper saving and economy which
marks the present period will tend to economies and reductions.
I t would be a great mistake, however, as all will agree, to let this
epoch of economy discredit itself and come to an untimely end by
reason of losing the sense of difference between reductions of appropriations that we are better without and reductions of the appropriations that we are better with. Extravagance, waste, inefficiency,
and poor adininistration on the one hand, and too hurried or too
expensive development of governmental activities on the' other hand,
can afford savings to the advantage of. everybody; but it would be
unfortunate if the current impulses toward true and real economy
should go further and seek to curtail any of the wise instruments
of the Government which are or shall be demanded by the interests
of the people.
There is a tendency at the same time to overestimate the possible
reduction in appropriations through improved administration or
other distinctively executive retrenchments, and the reductions in
appropriations will be disappointing unless equal attention is given
to other important savings.
The departments should undoubtedly scrutinize every opportunity
for reduction of expenses of administration. I t will be necessary,
however, in order to effect full permanent reductions in appropriations to also take in hand every item of expenditure, and, among
others, as instances, the following: The heavy losses to the Govemment on second-class mail matter which require a discrimination
to be made between mail matter demanded by the interests of the
people and that which merely promotes private gain; the excessive
expenditures for public buildings which suggest the simple arrangement by which such buildings will be approved and ordered for the
needs of the public service only; the expenditures for public works;
and the expenditures for printing. In other words, in order to




4

REPORT ON THE EINANCES.

effect a real revision of the expenditures of the Government, it must
be a general revision, both of those appropriations which have their
initiative in the executive departments and of those that have their
initiative in the Congress.
THE EQUIVALENT OF A BUDGET.

The absence of anything like a budget in our Government has
undoubtedly led to a great deal of extravagant approjpriation.
Originally, no doubt, it was contemplated that a budget should.be
presented by the Secretary of the Treasury. And Alexander Hamilton began in that way. But the complete plan of a budget was never
fully realized, could not have lasted, and can not now be instituted.
The elements of financial responsibility of such a system as the
English have all been present, but the separation between the executive and legislative branches has prevented these elements from getting together. And, unfortunately, the responsibility for the adjustment of revenues and appropriations instead of drifting toward an
efficient system of legislative and executive cooperation, devised as
best it could be in our form of government, has drifted always toward an elimination of the responsibility of the executive branch.
I t finally came to the point where the executive had little or nothing
to say about the revenues, and where the executive estimates of
expenditures were constructed more or less for trading purposes with
the appropriation committees. On the other hand, the Congress,
into whose hands the control so largely came, was obliged to meet
these economic and business responsibilities with an organization
that made revenue questions necessarily political and partisan, and
which turned over the separate appropriation bills to a series of unrelated committees which were obliged to deal with them in singular
isolation. In neither house of Congress was there a corelation or
cooperation of these committees.
In this way the Government arrived at the farthest extreme from
a responsible budget. The demand for something better has undoubtedly arisen, and has already taken form in a marked attempt
on the part of the Congress to organize these important responsibilities. In March last there was incorporated in the sundry civil
appropriation bill the following provision:
Immediately upon the receipt of the regular annual estimates of appropriations needed for the various branches of the Government it shall be the duty
of the Secretary of the Treasury to estimate as nearly as may be the revenues
of the Government for the ensuing fiscal year, and if the estimates for appropriations, including the estimated amount necessary to meet all continuing and
permanent appropriations, shall exceed the estimated revenues, the Secretary
of the Treasury shall transmit the estimates to Congress as heretofore required
by law and at once transmit a detailed statement of all of said estimates to




SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

the President, to the end that he may, in giving Congress information of the
state of the Union and in recommending to their consideration such measures
as he may judge necessary, advise the Congress how, in his judgment, the
estimated, appropriations could with least injury to the public service be
reduced so as to bring the appropriations within the estimated revenues, or, if
such reductions be not in his judgment practicable without undue injury to
the public service, that he may recommend to Congress such loans or new
taxes as may be necessary to cover the deficiency.

Then followed the announcement of the President favoring a reduction in appropriations and an earlier and more thorough consideration of the estimates by the heads of the departments. It was determined that instead of the former system, by which each member
of the Cabinet had sent his own department estimates to the Congress
without any common consideration of all the estimates by the whole
Cabinet, the estimates of all the departments should be reported to
the President and the Cabinet and be considered by them with a view
to a relationship to the expected revenues. This was a decided step
towards a more rational dealing with these great questions.
Then came the action of the Senate appointing a Committee on
Expenditures, including the chairmen of the separate committees
having charge of appropriation bills, with a view of binding together
the work of these committees, and of having it all passed upon
together and in common, thus tending toward making the appropriations of Congress one appropriation instead of many. All of
this^ is the beginning of an organization of the fiscal responsibilities
of the executive and legislative branches of the Government. These
beginnings should be, and I believe will be, conserved and developed.
It is too early to say what final form this reorganization of the
fiscal responsibilities will take, but it is fair to hope that there will be
constant progress away frpm the extreme disorganization of the past.
Even if our country is rich it can not afford to be wholly unscientific
in its appropriations.

BONDS.

I respectfully recommend that the tax on bank circulation, secured
by United States bonds hereafter deposited, be continued at the rate
of one-half of 1 per cent per annum for circulation based on 2 per
cent bonds, but that the tax on circulation secured by United States
bonds hereafter deposited bearing rates of interest higher than 2
per cent shall be increased in exact proportion to the increase of the
rate of interest above 2 per cent. So that, for example, the tax on
circulation secured by 2^ per cent bonds would be 1 per cent per
annum, by 3 per cent bonds 1^ per cent per annum, and so on, it
being understood that the tax on circulation secured by existing bonds
bearing 3 or 4 per cent interest, and now on deposit to secure circulation, would not be affected.



0

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

This would complete the availability of the Panama bonds authorized by the law of August 5, 1909. These bonds, as the law now
stands, if issued at 3 per cent would have a much better circulation
privilege than the outstanding 2 per cent bonds, the tax being only
1 per cent; and their issue, therefore, would constitute a discrimination against the 2 percents that the Government could not justly
contemplate. The circulation privileges of any new issues should
certainly not be better than those of the 2 percents; but a parity
would, I think, be sufficient protection to make good for the time
being the imperative moral obligation of the Government to see
to it that the market value of these 2 percents does not unduly decline because of their abnormally low rate of interest.
At the same time it is desirable to thus complete the legislation
respecting the new authorization of Panama bonds, so as to carry out
the intention of Congress to make them available. The indebtedness
of the Panama Canal to the general fund of the Treasury now
amounts to $97,069,649.26 and the continuing outlay for construction
adds to the drain upon the general revenues. It is desirable that the
settlement of this account should be at least begun; and that the
expressed policy of the Government to pay the cost of the canal from
the proceeds of bonds in order that the next generation or two shall
share with this in the cost of the great enterprise, should be secured
and established. If the sale of any part of these bonds for the repayment pf the general fund should produce more cash than the Treasury balance needs there might be bought in .the market for the sinking fund some of the 2 per cent bonds. Such, a purchase—though
of no great amount^—should tend to keep the market price of these
bonds, now unduly depressed, above par—a favorable condition to
which the Government can not be indifferent. It might also have
effect as an approach toward some present elasticity in the national
bank currency. The 2 per cent bonds are nearly all held by the
banks, mostly as a basis for circulation; and the banks would face
so much loss in an attempt to dispose of them in addition to the
heavy sum, estimated at $25,000,000, which they have already lost
on them, that the influence of the situation is decidedly against the
retirement of circulation. The present condition of the national
bank circulation is therefore as unresponsive as it has ever been at
any time; and any influence, however limited, that should .tend to
relax this currency rigidity would be an advantage.
The introduction of the 3 per cent Panaina bonds and the withdrawal of even a small amount from the surplus of the 2 percents
would substitute for bonds that are almost wholly used as a basis for
circulation, bonds that might be used for circulation purposes if
there should be a real need for them, but which would have the advantage of a broad competition created by the demand of investors.



SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY..

7

The 2 per cent bonds as a basis for circulation have no elasticity, but
are practically stagnant and unchangeable in amount. Being at their
low rate of interest only desirable for circulation, there is no demand
for them in the market from investors; the banks can not buy and
sell them at will; and the effect is one of rigidity on their own part,
and rigidity of the currency created by them. Therefore even such
a slight change in the conditions as I suggest would be at least in
the right direction. '
If now the objection should be made that selling 3 per cent bonds
and buying 2 per cent bonds with the surplus part of the proceeds
would be increasing the Government's interest payments by 1 per cent
on that amount, the answer is that that would be one of the best
features of the transaction. It is, in my judgment, high time for the
Government to realize that it does not have a 2 per cent borrowing
power and has never had. No government, however rich, has a 2
per cent borrowing power. Possibly it would have been better never
to have issued 2 per cent bonds or bonds at any rate of interest below
the borrowing power of the Government in the open-investment market. By varying the tax on the circulation ^privilege the transaction
between the Government and the banks could be at the same net
rate of interest, whatever the bond rate might be. For instance, a
3 per cent bond with a payment of IJ per cent by the banks to the
Government for circulation and the 2 per cent bonds with one-half of
1 per cent circulation charge make precisely the same net rate between
the Government and the banks, to wit, IJ per cent. If, therefore, the
Government had issued 3 per cent bbnds instead of 2 per cent bonds, or
if it should do so now or at any time, it would, not change in any way
the "net interest result of its transactions with the banks; and such a
course would have the advantage of issuing bonds that investors would
want and which would have a broad and wholesome market. that
would aid materially in introducing elasticity in the currency. Even
if we were certain of^ a basic reform of our banking and currency
system at an early date, there would still be no. obj ection to affording
in this incidental way some relaxation of the present immovability
of the currency.
REHABILITATION OF THE CUSTOMS SERVICE.

The alarming revelations of the condition of the customs service
at the port of New York, which resulted from investigations started
during the last administration, confronted' the Treasury Department in March last with the necessity for still further^investigation
and for a general overhauling and rehabilitation of the service at that
port; and for a general inquiry into the condition of the customs
service as a whole. The revelations of the sugar customs frauds of the




8

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

American Sugar Eefining Company shoAved a long-continuing system
of corruption. For a period of years this system had been thoroughly
organized, involving one of the largest corporations of. the country
and necessarily a considerable number of men in the government
service. These frauds were so extensive and had b'een so intrenched
that over $2,100,000 has been paid to the Government since March 4
in acknowledgment of evaded duties. An instance of organized corruption of dimensions like these could not be treated as an isolated
case. Since this case was possible there must have been at that port
a wide-spread demoralization. The Treasury Department therefore
of necessity has given great attention to uncovering the actual conditions at New York, to bringing to punishment offenders who can be
reached, and especially to reforming and rehabilitating the service
and putting it upon a basis of decency, honesty, and efficiency.
There could not have been a more favorable time for undertaking
this important reform. The revelations made and proven were so
startling and impressive that opposition was silenced; and in this
silence the necessary, clear-cut measures could be carried out without
meeting serious obstructions.
I t soon developed that the frauds of the American Sugar Eefining Company, while perhaps the most important instances, were,
as had been apprehended, symptoms^ of a diseased condition, not
universal by any means, but almost general. And difficult as it
always is to sufficiently bring to light the facts of such a condition
to afford a basis for rehabilitation, this has been already largely
accomplished. Much has been discovered to afford an understanding of the situation, with the result of numerous seizures, of numerous
prosecutions made or projected, and df important and successful
beginnings of a complete rehabilitation. While the recovery of evaded
duties and the prosecution of individuals have been of large significance, the greatest asset to the Government of these disgraceful
conditions is the knowledge and the light which guarantee in time a
wholesome reorganization.
The study of the causes of the demoralization which has been
revealed is still incomplete, but the main causes are evident. I t
is clear, for instance, that the influence of local politics and politicians upon the customs service has been most deleterious, and has
promoted that laxity and low tone which prepare and furnish an
inviting soil for dishonesty and fraud. Unless the customs service
can be released from the payment of political debts and exactions,
and from meeting the supposed exigencies of political organizations,
big and little, it will be impossible to have an honest service for any
length of time.
, Any considerable share of the present cost of this demoralization to
the public revenues, to the efficiency of the service, and to public and



' SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

private morality is a tremendous amount to pay in mere liquidation
of the small debts of political leaders.
I t is also clear that the widespread disposition of returning American travelers to evade the payment of legal duties has greatly helped
to create the conditions which have become intolerable. Those Americans who travel abroad belong to the sections of the people which
most readily create public sentiment and are most responsible for it;
and the fact that in so many instances these travelers are willing to
defraud the Government out of considerable or even small sums
creates an atmosphere on the docks that strongly tends to affect the
morale of the entire customs service. And when to this is added the
frequent willingness upon the part of these responsible citizens to
specifically corrupt the Government's men, then ihe demoralization
is further accentuated.
Still another explanation of the influences which, through a series
of years, have worked toward the corruption of the service is the
determination or willingness of certain classes of importers to defraud the Government of as much of its duties as they can compass.
Some of these importers work through undervaluations, with which
the service has been in many instances unable to contend, and to
defeat which the present tariff law has introduced new methods of
administration. Others, as shown by recent court trials, work
through a combination of consignor, consignee, and customs officials.
And still others, as in the sugar frauds, disregard the foreign shipper and form a corrupt organization out of their own people and the
people of the Government.
All these revelations, and the efforts to carry the revelations further, the prosecutions and the reorganization, so far as it has gone,
have occupied but a few months. None of this difficult work is complete or nearly complete. I t has had to be carried on at the same
time with the usual business of the customs service. The Treasury
Department, having the firm support of the President, will continue
it without pause and will have, as it has had, the effective cooperation
of the Department of Justice. The undertaking is not primarily one
of punishment. Prosecutions are but unavoidable incidents of the
purpose to rehabilitate the service. We must have the facts and the
facts necessarily lead to prosecutions. But they will lead in the end
to the establishment of an administration of the customs service that
is fit for the government of a great nation.
EFFICIENCY.

The matter of efficiency in the administration of the Treasury
Department is also being inquired into. This is not an inquiry that
can be quickly concluded if it is to be productive of results. There
should be, of course, in every great executive organization, a constant



10

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

and almost automatic efficiency test with practical results; and in any
prosperous private business this obtains. But even then a periodical
set investigation is necessary, especially in government offices. I n
the inquiries now being made in the Treasury Department, there is no
further intention than the ordinary one of finding out whether the
work is done under the most effective system and with reasonable individual efficiency, or whether improvements can be made, having, of
course, in view the normal relation between efficiency and econoniy
and between efficiency and morale. The more efficiency you can secure
in system and in personnel the less the cost will be. The saving,
however, would show itself probably more in forestalling increases in
expenditure than in reducing present totals'; for the increase in public
business is as certain and unavoidable as the increase in the private
business of the country.
RETIRING PENSIONS.

Any inquiry into the efficiency of administration very soon involves
a consideration of a policy of civil service retiring pensions. And it
seems to me that the conclusion is unavoidable that a really efficient
service is out of the question without a method of honorably and
justly retiring persons whose efficiency is seriously impaired. I t is
quite true that the older clerks of the service are no more likely than
the younger clerks to be inefficient. Indeed, their experience and their
settled relations to the service could easily compensate for the lack of
some other personal equipment. But just as there are instances where
the younger clerks should be disciplined or dismissed so there are
many cases of the older clerks where, in justice to. both themselves
and the service, they ought to be honorably relieved.
The service is blocked in many instances by the unwillingness of
the officials in charge to throw out of place worthy men and women
who have given the best of their lives to the work of the Government.
So that, in a very imperfect and wholly unsatisfactory manner, practically a pension system is and long has been in operation.
The United States is the only nation that has no general legal
retiring, pension for the employees of its civil service. We have
this unique position in the world, along with a reputation for
great wealth and for otherwise liberal expenditures. The entire
civilized world has shown great and growing recognition of pensions or retiring allowances; and while the United States is
so far behind the rest of the world in civil pensions, it has
by far the largest pension list among .the nations. The war and
navy pensions are a recognized part of our policy; and in
the civil service pensions have been extended to the judiciary. And
though as a government we have halted at a general retiring allowance for civil employees, the great universities of our country and the



SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

11

great corporations have been taking immense steps along this very
line; and the Federal Government is becoming more and more isolated.
AVhile I have spoken only of the effect upon the service itself of the
lack of a system of retiring pensions, there are, as. everyone knows,
other claims upon the Government to establish this policy. I hope
that the Congress will take up and consider favorably one of the
various forms of law that are proposed. This subject has been before
the country and before the Government for a long while; and if the
policy were to be adopted at this time it would undoubtedly give a
strong impulse to that improvement of every branch of the service
which is now so much desired by the people and which is a matter
of so much interest to the Congress and to the Administration. In expressing my opinion in favor of the retiring allowance, I purposely
a-void the expression at this time of a preference for any particular
plan pr system.
T H E CORPORATION TAX.

There has been much discussion throughout the country as to what
would be taxed under the corporation-tax law and as to what form
of return would be adopted. I t could only be assumed by the Treasury Department that the single purpose of the law is to tax at 1 per
cent the actual net profits of a corporation, as net profits are commonly understood, and that the term " net income " was used in the
law instead of " net profits " in order that there might be no confusion
as to this—that net profits mean not merely the actual net earnings
from the operations of the business, but also net revenues received
from the corporation's investments and from all other sources. With
this controlling purpose of the law. clearly defined and adhered to,
it follows that the form of return must be strictly conformed to it,
and the terms of the law construed accordingly.
T H E T A R I F F BOARD.

The Tariff Board, authorized by Congress and appointed by the
President, has been organized and has entered upon its work. This
Board was authorized by the Congress to gather information to assist
the President, and also to gather information to assist the Treasury
Department in the adniinistration of the customs. The Board has
most ample authority; and I look forward with great confidence to
most important results in both branches of the Board's work, and to
the establishment of the Board in the confidence of the country.
T H E NATIONAL BANKS.

The improvement in the dealings of the office of the Comptroller
of the Currency with the national banks is going forward. The misconception of the purposes of the department respecting the responsibilities of bank directors has practically passed away. The purpose




12 .

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

in this respect was and is to stimulate bank directors to a livelier and
more detailed sense of their active responsibilities, and to reawaken
in the department itself practical oversight of the relations of the
directors to the banks. I am confident that we shall have a very distinct and much-needed improvement in this very important factor
in the management of the national banks.
The improvement in bank examination is already considerably
advanced, and this critical function is sure to be better and better
performed. An essential feature of improved administration of the
function of bank examination is that the examiners themselves shall
be exclusively identified with the service. The practice has therefore
been adopted by the Treasury Department, with the approval of the
President, that no bank examiner after he has entered the service
shall take any part whatever in practical politics. The lessons of
the panic of 1907, following the other conspicuous experiences and
lessons of the department in recent years, brought into a stronger
light, along with the defects of the directorship system as then carried ori, the almost equal deficiencies of bank examinations. There is
ground for the assumption that with such examinations and such
responsible directorships as are now aimed at and partly achieved
the bank failures in New York which precipitated the panic would
have been foreseen and prevented.
The cooperation that is becoming established between the nationalbank examiners, the state-bank examiners, and the new order of
examiners of the clearing-house associations, and the more searching
and individualized study of examiners' reports at Washington, are
making the department's improved relations with the banks progressively effective.
THE TREASURY PRINTING OFFICE AND BINDERY.

The printing office and the bindery which were found established
in the Treasury building have been removed to the Government
Printing Office and there absorbed. The Treasury building has thus
avoided a decided fire hazard and secured much-needed additional
room, and the Government is saved some expense. The department
finds the new arrangement for its printing and binding very convenient and satisfactory, and the example is being used to enforce the
removal of all similar branch offices and the consolidation of all the
government printing and binding in the Government Printing Office.
THE DAILY STATEMENT.

The form of the Daily Statement of the Treasury was changed to
take effect on July 1 last, in order that the discrepancies should be
avoided which were due to the daily returns made to the Treasurer's
office and those made to the division of bookkeeping and warrants being taken independently and without reconcilement for the difference



SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

13

in their dates. The further and still more important purpose was to
separate the ordinary receipts and disbursements from the disbursements for the Panama Canal and the public debt, the latter inclusive
of money received and paid for the retirement of national-bank notes.
The new statement also gives a clearer understanding of the available cash in the Treasury and in the banks. I t contains other information that is of daily interest. I t will JDC possible, dpubtless, to further improve this statement at ariother time, but nothing more is^
necessary at this time. The statement has the advantage of drawing attention away from the grand total of appropriations to the
more actual cost of the administration of the Government, and to fix
attention upon those facts of our finances which need and which repay
the consideration of the Congress, of the Administration, and of the
public.
The exhibits of the year's finances on pages 15-17 of this report are
conformed to the practice of the Daily Statement.
T H E TREASURY P E R M A N E N T STAFF.

I am greatly impressed by the importance to the Government's
service of the permanent staff of the Treasury Department. Secretaries of the Treasury and Assistant Secretaries come and go, but
the pernianent staff continues. And with it persist the traditions
of the department, and upon it largely depends the standard of its
administration. Nothing is more important than that this permanent staff should be recruited from the very best available ability
in the country. I have no specific recommendations to make at this
time. At a later time I may wish to suggest to the Congress a revision of the salaries of some of those upon whom the Treasury
Department so greatly depends.
Nearly all members of this important staff except auditors are
already in the classified permanent service, and there seems to be no
good reason for this exception.
CONCESSIONS TO P U B L I C C O N V E N I E N C E .

The tendency to affiliate the subtreasuries with the clearing houses
of their localities is, I think, clearly in the right direction. There
seems to be no good reason why the, receiving and paying work of the
Government should not be on the lines of the receiving and paying
work of other business organizations, and so far as the discretion
lies with the Secretary -of the Treasury, I shall consider with great
interest suggestions for the adjustment of the ordinary paying and
receiving business of the Government to the convenience of the people.
I even hope for, arid I beg to suggest to the consideration of the
Congress, a reconsideration of the methods of the payment of customs
duties so that^ these transactions may cease to be so very inconvenient
and may conform themselves to the ordinary practices of business.



14

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

The spectacle should not be possible of a detail from the navy carrying $30,000 in cash through the streets of New York from the "subtreasury to the custom-house to pay duties on navy importations and
of a return trip from the custom-house by the representatives of the
collector back to the subtreasury with this same money, all because
the collector of customs could not legally accept a check of the Navy
Department upon the subtreasury.
BANKING AND CURRENCY REFORM.

I t is not necessary and not appropriate for the Secretary of the
Treasury at this time to discuss the plan of banking and currency
reform. The necessity for such reform is universally recognized,
and when the time is ripe it will be the duty of the Treasury Department to express its judgment. Meanwhile the initiative in this
important legislation was committed by the Congress to its Monetary
Commission, and until that commission has reported it will be the
policy of the department to preserve an open mind. The.question
has been and still is growing. The reform of our currency system has
enlarged itself into the reform of our banking and currency systems,
which brings into contemplation not merely the national banks, but
the state banks in their three divisions—commercial banks, trust
companies, and savings institutions. I t is to be'hoped that the extent and gravity of these broad readjustments.will induce a public
demand for calm and disinterested treatment of the issues and a public recognition of the profound importance of a rational, harmonious
agreement. Neither political partisanship nor special interest nor
pride of opinion should be allowed to obstruct a purely economic reform of such great significance to the nation in both its national and
international relations. The change, when it comes, and whatever it
may be, must be at any rate fundamentally right. I t is better by far
that there shall be no change whatever than that it shall be another
makeshift. We must have at least the beginning of a permanent
system. At present we have neither an adjustable currency nor
trustworthy surplus reserves, two absolutely essential features of any
banking system upon which the finances and the commerce of this
great nation can securely rest. To secure these essentials—to speak
of no others—the^looked-for reform must deal with fundamentals.
CONTINGENT FUND.

The Secretary of the Treasury is the head of a business whose
current expense accounts for mere administration foot up yearly to
the amount of $38,000,000. I t spends altogether $84,000,000, but
$38,000,000 are for mere operating expenses of the department. The
appropriations for these large expenditures are specifically dedicated.
I n handling the varied interests of this great business the Secretary



SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

15

of the Treasury has no contingent fund, and it would be greatly in
the interests of the service if one were provided to the extent, say, of
$100,000.
Every head of a private business has control of sufficient funds to
deal with contingencies and can, among other things, make such
investigations and studies of the business as are necessary to put and
keep it upon a progressive foundation. The interests of the Treasury
Department would be equally promoted if a similar discretion should
be given to the Secretary.

ABSTEACTS OE EEPOETS OF BUEEAUS AHD DIVISIOITS.

The following is a summary of the reports of bureaus and divisions
of the Treasury Department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909,
with the exception that the figures in relation to public moneys and
loans and currency are brought to November 1:
TREASURER OF T H E U N I T E D STATES.

The conditions that confronted the Treasury during the last fiscal
year were largely increased expenditures, and revenues that were but
little in excess of those received in the fiscal year 1908, when there was
a deficit on ordinary transactions. The governmental activities have
increased the disbursements diiring the past two years without adequate provision having been made for a corresponding income. The
deficit thus created was paid from the general fund in the Treasury,
accumulated in previous years, and it has resulted in the depletion of
the greater part of the available cash in that fund.
The ordinary revenues, by warrants, and adjustments for moneys
received but not covered by warrants in the year, were $603,589,489.84,
an increase of $2,528,766.57 over those of 1908, while the ordinary
expenditures were $662,324,444.77, an increase of $41,222,054.13, as
shown by similar comparison. The net result of ordinary transactions was a deficit of $58,734,954.93.
The receipts from proceeds of United States bonds sold during the
fiscal year 1909, to be used in the construction of the Panama Canal,
were $30,731,008.21, while the disbursements on the canal amounted
to $31,419,442.41, or an excess of disbursements over receipts of
$688,434.20, which was advanced from the general fund in the Treasury. Under the act of August 5, 1909, provision was made to reimburse the Treasury for all expenditures on the canal not covered by
previous issues of bonds.
The total amount expended on the purchase and construction of the
canal to the close of the fiscal year 1909 was $170,184,668.70, of which
$87,309,594.83 was from proceeds of sales of bonds. The balance of
$82,875,073.87 was advanced from the general fund in the Treasury
and is reimbursable from proceeds of bonds not yet sold.
The cash receipts on account of the public debt (exclusive of Panama Canal loan) were wholly deposits of lawful money for the
retirement of national-bank notes, and amounted to $45,624,239.50;

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

$89,562,083 was disbursed for national-bank notes canceled and
retired, leaving a net payment from the Treasury, on account of banknote retirements, of $43,937,843.50. I n addition, there was disbursed
$15,434,687 on account of principal of matured loans and fractional
currency, a total disbursement for the public debt of $104,996,770,
and a total excess o l disbursements, therefore, of $59,372,530.50. The
interest-bearing debt on June 30, 1909, was $913,317,490, and the
interest charge thereon $21,275,602.40.
I n previous years it was deemed advisable to restore accumulating
revenues in the Treasury to the channels of trade by making direct
deposits thereof in national banks; consequently, with the growth in
disbursements in later years, not equaled by the income, such deposits
have been gradually recalled to the Treasury as needed. The balance
in depositary banks to the credit of the general fund at the beginning
of the last fiscal year was $149,004,924.29. Calls for the return of
deposits to the Treasury were made as follows: July 2, 1908,
$33,403,120; November 18, 1908, $4,864,750; January 11, 1909,
$24,716,760; February 4, 1909, $28,478,000, and June 30, 1909,
$24,954,900. The total amount of these calls had not been paid by
the close of the fiscal year, but the balance in banks to the credit of
the general fund had been reduced to $60,427,525.69.
The trust funds, amounting to $1,341,380,869, were $39,125,000
greater at the close of the fiscal year than twelve months earlier, by
reason of an increase of $29,828,000 in gold certificates, $10,064,000 in
silver certificates, and a decrease of $767,000 in Treasury notes of
1890.
The amount of national-bank notes presented for redemption was
$461,522,202, equal to 67.80 per cent of the average amount of such
notes outstanding during the year. Compared with 1908, the sum is
$111,887,861, or 32 per cent larger, and it is the maximum presented
in any year in the history of such redemptions. The expenses incurred for such redemptions were $396,743.15, which has been assessed
on the banks at the rate of $0.79762 per $1,000 of notes redeemed.
The nionetary stock aggregated $3,406,328,354 at the close of the
fiscal year 1909, an increase of $27,564,334 as compared with that of
twelve months earlier. The growth in gold was $23,908,507, and in
silver $12,836,670, while there was a decrease of $8,413,843 in nationalbank notes and of $767,000 in Treasury notes of 1890. The money in
circulation on June 30, 1909, amounted to $3,106,240,657, a per capita
of $34.93. The percentage of gold to total circulation was 45.53.
The notes and certificates of United States paper currency issued
during the fiscal year numbered 202,746,192 pieces, of the total value
of $764,510,000. The redemptions were 194,507,569 pieces, of the
value of $722,395,000. The average cost of each piece of United




SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

35

States paper currency issued and redeemed is about 1.571 cents, and
the annual cost of maintenance of the currency issued by the National
Government averages about one-fifth of 1 per cent of the amount outstanding.
The United States bonds pledged to secure circulation amounted to
$660,753,070 on June 30, 1909, an increase of $32,580,940 during the
fiscal year. United States bonds and other securities, amounting to
$81,244,071.10, were held to secure public deposits in national banks.
The United States bonds pledged to secure circulation and deposits
on June 30,1909, were equal to 78 per cent of the total amount of such
bonds outstanding.
On July 1, 1907, the silver dollars in circulation amounted to
$81,694,518; on July 1, 1908, $76,354,933; and on July 1,. 1909,
$71,990,679. However, the accumulation of this coin in the Treasury
is not in excess of the amount that can be utilized for the issue of
silver certificates of the smaller denominations for which there is
great demand.
The amount of subsidiary silver coin shipped to depositors therefor
at government expense for transportation during the last fiscal year
was $36,058,567.75. The average rate for transportation was $2.90
per $1,000 (a large increase, because one-half of the appropriation
was used in transporting said coin by registered mail by direction of
Congress).
The redemptions from the reserve fund during the year were as
follows: United States notes, $19,984,536, and Treasury notes, $31,405.
The redeemed notes were immediately restored to the. general fund
in exchange for gold, and the reserve was thus maintained at the
amount fixed by law. The receipts of moneys for redemption and
exchange during the last fiscal year were $1,343,787,588, as against
$1,338,405,106 in 1908. The Treasury holdings of gold at the close
of the fiscal year 1909 aggregated $1,042,704,301.02, of which
$975,569,205.62 was in coin, and set apart for the respective uses it
was held on the following accounts: Eeserve fund, $150,000,000; trust
funds (for the redemption of gold certificates in actual circulation),
$815,005,449; and in general fund (belonging to Treasury),
$77,698,852.02.
The available balance in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year
1909 was $126,375,428.10, a decrease of $118,795,919.63 as compared
with that of 1908.
District of Columhia,
The net expenditures on account of the District of Columbia for
the fiscal year 1909, by warrants paid, were $14,776,541.76.
The net revenues deposited in the Treasury, by warrant, on this
account for the same period, were $7,323,538.10.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

The amount of the funded debt retired during the year was
$491,300, reducing the annual interest charge by $17,833.90. Since
the close of the fiscal year, the debt has been further reduced by the
purchase of $446,350 3.65 per cent bonds, leaving outstanding on
October 1, $9,667,800 in bonds bearing 3.65 per cent interest.
The total issue of 3.65 per cent bonds is limited by law to
$15,000,000, and of this sum $14,997,300 has now been issued.
At the close of the fiscal year 1909, the 10 per cent guaranty
fund retained from District of Columbia contractors amounted to
$249,326.56,' and is represented by $151,480 in bonds purchased at
the request and risk of contractors, and $86,057.84 uninvested cash.
Detailed information in regard to the affairs of the District of
Columbia will be found in the reports of the District Commissioners
and the Treasurer of the United States, ex officio commissioner of
the sinking fund of the District of Columbia.
COMPTROLLER OF T H E CURRENCY.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909, national banking associations to the number of 292, with authorized capital of $17,184,000,
were chartered, of which 72 were conversions of state banks, 69 reorganizations of state and private banks, and 151 banks of primary organization. During the year, banks to the number of 164 were closed,
of which 150, with capital of $11,300,000, were placed in voluntary
liquidation by authority of the stockholders. I n this class was one
bank the charter of which expired by limitation. From July 1,1908,
to June 30, 1909, 21 banks, with aggregate capital of $2,228,500, were
placed in charge of receivers. The nominal value of the assets of
these banks at the date of closing aggregated $12,459,931, and their
liabilities to depositors and other creditors $7,611,283. Seven of
the banks in the charge of receivers, their capital being $400,000,
were permitted to resume business, their affairs having been placed
in a condition to warrant the discharge of the receivers and the
resumption of business. The assets of these banks amounted to
$3,097,358, and their liabilities to depositors and other creditors
$2,209,717. I t ordinarily requires about four years to liquidate the
affairs of an insolvent national bank, but of the associations closed
in the year the affairs of two have been settled, the creditors having
been paid dividends covering their claims in full, principal and interest ; one trust has paid 85 per cent, two 75 per cent, six from 20 to 55
per cent, and three have paid nothing so far.
Banks placed in voluntary liquidation to the number of 150, heretofore indicated, were closed generally for the purpose of reorganizing or transferring their business to state institutions, this being the
case notably in Oklahoma. The records of the office of the Comptroller show that 91 liquidating banks were absorbed or reorganized



SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.

37

as state banks, 35 absorbed by other national banks, 1 reorganized as
a national banking association, and 23 liquidated to discontinue
business.
Between March 14, 1900, and Juiy 1 of the current year charters
were granted to 4,202 national banking associations, their authorized
capital stock being $254,058,300. Of the total number of banks chartered during this period, 2,701 were organized under authority of the
act of March 14, 1900, and with capital stock of $70,355,500. The
large majority of these banks were incorporated with the minimum
amount of capital authorized, namely, $25,000, but the number organized with a greater amount, but less than $50,000, raised the average
to approximately $26,000. The remaining banks chartered in this
period were organized under the act of 1864, the number being 1,501,
the authorized capital being $183,702,800. Further classifying these
banks, it appears that 565, with capital of $40,410,800, were conversions of state banks; 1,321, with capital of $86,372,000, reorganizations of state and private banks; 2,316, with capital of $127,275,500,
were banks of primary organization. Practically one-half of the
authorized capital of all banks organized since March 14, 1900, is
that of the converted and reorganized state and private banks.
The act of February 25, 1863, was repealed and reenacted with
material amendments on June 3, 1864, and on July 12, 1870, the
act was passed authorizing the organization of gold banks—that is,
banks the redemption of the circulation of which was specifically provided for in gold. The only subsequent legislation in relation to the
organization of national banking associations was the act of March
14, 1900, permitting the incorporation of associations with a minimum capital of $25,000, authorizing the issue of circulation to the
par value of the bonds deposited, and reducing the tax on circulating
notes when secured by bonds bearing interest at the rate of 2 per
cent.
Under these various acts charters have been issued to 9,466 associations, of Avhich 456 were issued under the act of 1863, 6,299 under the
act of 1864, 10 under the act of 1870, and 2,701 under the act of 1900.
On June 30, 1909, there were in active operation 6,955 national banking associations, with authorized capital bf $947,726,775. Banks to
the number of 2,028 have been closed by voluntary liquidation,
including those closed as a result of expiration of charter, and 483
failed and were placed in charge of receivers. The number of
failuries is only approximately 5 per cent of the total number of
banks chartered.
As will be noted by reference to tables hereinafter submitted, the
riumber of national banks in operation increased from 3,617 on March
14,1900, to 6,955 at the close of the current fiscal year, the net increase
being 3,338. The capital of these banks rose from $616,308,095 to




38

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

$947,726,775, or an increase of $331,418,680. The total amount of
national-bank circulation outstanding on the date first named was
$254,402,730, of which $216,374,795 was secured by bonds on deposit
with the Treasurer in trust, and $38,027,935 by lawful money deposited with the Treasurer by banks reducing their circulation, those
placed in voluntary liquidation, and on account of insolvent associations. On June 30, 1909, the total circulation was $689,920,074, or
an increase of $435,517,344 since 1900. Circulation secured by bonds
had increased to $659,673,408, or an increase of $443,298,613 during
this nine-year period. Circulation secured by bonds and lawful
money reached its maximum on July 11, 1908, when it amounted to
$700,516,665, but the maximum outstanding on the security of bonds
was reached on June 30, 1909, the amount being $659,673,408.
Comparing the national-bank circulation statement at the close
of the current fiscal year with the statement for the year ended July
1, 1908, it appears that the bond-secured circulation increased from
$623,250,517 to $659,673,408, or an increase of $36,422,891. The
amount of outstanding circulation secured by lawful money on July
1, 1908, was $75,083,400, and on July 1, 1909, was only $30,246,666,
or a decrease of $44,836,734, resulting in a net decrease during this
period of circulation secured by bonds and lawful money of
$8,413,843.
The increase in number and capital of national banks organized
since March 14, 1900, by States and geographical divisions, together
with the number and paid-in capital stock of national banks on June
23, 1909, appear in the table following:

« Decrease.

The gross resources of national banking associations reached their
maximum prior to the panic of 1907, on May 20 of that year, when
they aggregated $8,476,501,434, and this amount was not equaled
until May 14,1908, when they reached $8,594,622,697. From the latter
date to June 23, 1909, there was a gradual increase, the maximum
being reached on the latter date, and is then shown to have been
$9,471,732,663, an increase of $757,668,263 since July 15, 1908. The
principal increases in the resources of the banks during the past year
are the following: Loans and discounts from $4,615,675,531 to
$5,035,883,516, an increase of $420,207,985; United States bonds,
including those held as security for circulation, public deposits, and
amount on hand, from $716,348,490 to $729,657,330, an increase
of $13,308,840; other bonds, securities, etc., from $840,115,350 to
$903,863,266, an increase of $63,747,916; lawful money—that is, specie
and legal tenders—from $849,018,750 to $885,915,771, the increase
being $36,897,021.
As a result of the legislation of June 22, 1906, amending section
5200 of the Eevised Statutes to the extent of increasing the limit of
loans from 10 per cent of the capital to 10 per cent of the capital and

* surplus, but the aggregate not to exceed 30 per cent of the capital,
the surplus funds of national banks have steadily increased, the
amount on June 18, 1906, being $448,858,491, and on June 23, 1909,
$590,837,706. The paid-in capital of the national banks on the latter
date was $937,004,036; circulation outstanding, $641,312,282, and
individual deposits, $4,898,576,696. Compared with the returns on
the approximately corresponding date in 1908, it appears that the
capital has increased to the extent of $17,903,186, surplus and other
profits, $58,369,234; circulation, $27,648,319, and individual deposits,
$524,025,487.
The net deposits, on which reserve was required, on June 23 last
were $6,074,509,161, against which the banks carried an aggregate
legal reserve of $1,358,750,753, or 22.37 per cent. The composition
of the reserve is as follows: Specie, $694,141,010, of which 78 per cent
was gold, $191,774,761 legal tenders, $31,502,052 redemption fund
with the Treasurer of the United States, and $441,332,930 net funds
available with reserve agents. The total amount of cash in bank, due
from reserve agents, and in redemption fund was $1,637,616,037, or
approximately 27 per cent of the deposits on which reserve was
required. The average net reserve held by national banks in central
reserve cities—^that is. New York, Chicago, and St. Louis—was 26.82
per cent, in other reserve cities 26.28 per cent, and in all reserve cities
26.54 per ceiit. While the banks outside of reserve cities are required
to maintain a reserve of 15 per cent, the average for the country at
large on the date in question was 17.34 per cent, and including excessive credits with reserve agents, not counted as reserve, the percentage
was 25.09.
M I N T SERVICE.

The value of the original deposits at the several mints and assay
offices of the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30,1909,
amounted, in the aggregate, to $142,124,941.59. There was also
deposited uncurrent domestic gold coin of the coining value of
$3,432,288.62. The deposits of silver bullion at these institutions
contained 18,027,877.82 standard ounces.
Coinage,
The domestic coinage executed at the mints in Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Denver, and New Orleans during the fiscal year 1909 aggregated 130,277,522 pieces, of the value of $120,399,953.35, consisting
of $108,180,092.50 in gold, $11,093,810 in subsidiary silver, and
$1,126,050.85 in minor coin. Of the latter, a small amount was made
at the San Francisco mint. This is the first coinage of this character
executed at any other than the Philadelphia mint.




42

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

Of the subsidiary silver coinage made during the year, $1,407,000
was from bullion resulting from the melting of uncurrent coin transferred for recoinage; the balance, $9,686,810, was from purchased
bullion.
I n addition to the domestic coinage executed, the mint at San
Francisco coined for the Government of the Philippine Islands
18,083,944 pieces in silver, of the value of 15,407,944 pesos, and bronze
1-centavo pieces, having a value of 39,246.12 pesos. There were also
coin§.d at this mint 693,170 peso pieces in silver for the Government
of San Salvador.
Profits on silver and minor coinage.
The profit on the coinage of subsidiary silver during the year was
$5,800,917.80, and the profit on the minor coinage amounted to
$846,978.81, all of which has been duly accounted for and paid into
the Treasury.
Annical settlements.
At the annual settlement of the mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Denver, and the assay office at New York,
at the close of the fiscal year, all the bullion and coin and other
moneys on hand were weighed and counted and found to correspond
with the balances called for by the books.
Purchases of silver.
There were purchased for the subsidiary silver coinage during the
year 6,192,425.93 ounces of fine silver at a cost of $3,207,857.83, making the average price paid $0,518 per fine ounce. A large amount of
subsidiary silver coin having accumulated in the Treasury, the purchase of silver bullion for this coinage, with the exception of that
contained in gold deposits, bar fractions and charges on silver deposits, was discontinued in February last, and has not been resumed,
the stock of coin on hand appearing to be ample to meet the requirements for some time to come.
The total purchases of silver for the subsidiary silver coinage from
July 1, 1906, to June 30, 1909, amounted to 34,663,800.68 fine ounces,
costing $20,950,293.39. The balance of silver bullion on hand June
30, 1909, available for subsidiary silver coinage was 6,719,224 fine
ounces, costing $4,211,356.53, the coining value in subsidiary silver
coin of which is $9,288,480.

of the Government, approved May 27, 1908, contained an appropriation of $300,000 " to defray the expense of transporting money stored
in the mint at San Francisco and receiving and storing the same elsewhere." Under this authority there were transferred from the mint
at San Francisco to the mint at Denver $272,500,000 in gold coin, at
a cost of $277,431.12.
New York assay office.
Pending the construction of a new building for the refinery of the
New York assay office it is necessary to transfer at the expense of the
Government all the crude bullion deposited at that office to the mint
at Philadelphia, to be parted and refined. Under section 3545,
Revised Statutes, the Secretary of the Treasury is required to keep in
the assay office at New York an amount of public money or bullion
procured for the purpose to enable payment to be made to depositors
in coin or bars. I t is therefore necessary, in order to enable the
superintendent of the assay office at New York to make payments for
silver bullion deposited, to transfer.fine silver bars at the expense of
the Government from the mint at Philadelphia to the assay office at
New York.
The deposits of gold and silver at this office are large, and at present
the office is working under very great disadvantages, which will be
the case until the completion of the new building for the refinery.
Minor assay offices.
Exclusive of the assay office at New York there are 8 assay offices
at which gold bullion is deposited and the value of the same paid to
depositors after determination by melt and assay. These offices are
located as follows: Charlotte, N. C.; St, Louis, Mo.; Helena, Mont.;
Boise, Idaho; Deadwood, S. Dak.; Seattle, Wash,; Carson, Nev,, and
Salt Lake City, Utah.
The bullion deposited at these institutions is transferred to the
coinage mints at the expense of the Government, to be refined and converted into coin. The value of the deposits at these institutions for
the fiscal year 1909 was $27,177,988.99. The cost of transporting the
same to the coinage mints was $37,971.92. The salaries, wages, and
contingent expenses of these offices for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1909, amounted to $124,638.51, and the earnings were $44,342.37.
The total earnings of the mints and assay offices, including the
profits on the subsidiary silver and minor coinage, were $7,263,861.04,
and the expenditures were $1,727,471.06, making the net earnings
$5,536,389.98.

of building. Eooms were rented, the necessary equipment installed
and the office, opened for the receipt of deposits of bullion in February, 1909.
New design for the 1-cent piece,
A new design for the 1-cent piece was adopted in 1909, and its
coinage commenced in July last. The obverse of this coin bears the
head of President Lincoln instead of the Indian head which has been
on this coin since 1864.
Annilal assay commission.
The annual assay commission provided for by section 3547, Eevised Statutes, to test the fineness and weights of the coins of the
calendar year 1908, reserved by the several mints for this purpose,
met at the mint in Philadelphia, on the 10th of February, 1909, and
after careful examination reported that the coins examined complied
in all respects with the law as to fineness and weight.
Medals.
The mint at Philadelphia is now equipped with a complete plant
of the most modern character for the manufacture of medals, and
during the year made a large number of medals fpr tlie government
departments at cost for the labor and materials employed, thus effecting a large saving.
Production of gold and silver.
I t is estimated that the mines of the United States produced,
during the calendar year 1908, gold of the value of $94,560,000, while
the amount consumed in the industrial arts during the year is estimated to have been $31,476,091, of which sum $14,754,945 were new
material.
The production of silver during the calendar year 1908 by the
mines of the United States amounted to 52,440,800 fine ounces, of the
commercial value of $28,050,600. Of this amount, it is estimated
there were consumed in the industrial arts during the year 23,850,828
fine ounces. Of this amount, 20,411,098 fine ounces were new
material.
INTERNAL

REVENUE.

The receipts from internal-revenue taxes for the fiscal year 1909,
as shown by collectors' reports, were $246,212,719.22, a net total
decrease of $5,453,230.82 from the preceding fiscal year. All of this
decrease was from distilled spirits, fermented liquors, oleomargarine,
adulterated butter, process or renovated butter, banks, bankers,

During the fiscal year 1909, 1,292 distilleries of all kinds were
operated, an increase of 92.
The production of beer was 56,364,360 barrels, showing a decrease
of 2,449,673 barrels.
BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing executed during the fiscal
year a greater volume of work than it has ever before accomplished
in any one year, the aggregate number of sheets delivered being
239,405,723, or a net increase of 13.68 per cent over the deliveries of
the previous year. This aggregate comprises the delivery of 51,725,000
sheets of United States notes and certificates; 4,000 sheets of registered bonds; 20,185,008 sheets of national-bank notes; 77,806,830
sheets of internal-revenue stamps; 348,500 sheets of customs stamps;

86,593,058 sheets of United States postage stamps; 323,278 sheets of
postage stamps and postal cards for the Philippine Islands; 104,135
sheets of silver certificates, revenue and documentary stamps, registered bonds, and diplomas for the Philippine Islands; and 2,315,914
sheets of checks, drafts, etc. I n addition to these deliveries, miscellaneous work was executed to the value of $205,694.85.
Compared with the deliveries of the previous year, there was an
increase of 4.98 per cent in United States notes and certificates and
bonds, 113.68 per cent in national-bank notes, 6.12 per cent in internal-revenue stamps, 14.77 per cent in postage stamps, and 0.12 per
cent in checks, drafts, etc., and a decrease of 12.66 per cent in customs
stamps, making a net total increase of 13.68 per cent.
The amount available for the work of the bureau during the year
was $4,888,612.67, comprising $3,555,058 appropriated by Congress
and $1,333,554.67 repaid for services and materials furnished the
Treasury and other departments of the Government. The amount
expended was $4,355,935.65, which included $192,401.99 for salaries,
$1,715,466.79 for compensation of employees, $1,798,268.07 for plate
printing, and $649,798.80 for materials and miscellaneous ^expenses,
leaving an unexpended balance at the close of the j^^ear of $532,677.02.
The large unexpended balance is due partially to decreased cost
of the work performed in the year, and principally to the fact
that the preparation of the national-bank emergency currency for
issue under act of May 30, 1908, for which the bureau's appropriations were reimbursed from the appropriation provided by the act,
was given preference to other work which had been provided for in
the annual appropriations for the bureau and was not furnished.
In compliance with the act to amend the national banking laws,
the bureau completed the delivery in January, 1909, to the Comptroller of the Currency, of the required $500,000,000. The total
number of sheets was 13,131,185, of which 30,224 were delivered in
the fiscal year 1908. The act necessitated the altering of engraved
face plates in order that the notes might, in the inscription thereon,
conform to its provision, and the back plates were" also altered for
the series of 1902, and new design prepared for the series of 1882, to
distinguish them from other issues and connect them with the act.
From the date of the act to the end of August, 1909, 9,506 of the
plates were altered—282 in the fiscal year 1908, 9,217 in the fiscal
year 1909, and 7 in the current fiscal year. The cost of preparing
the notes was $544,780.18, and of altering the plates $121,381.29,
totaling $666,161.47.
SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.

The department is carrying into effect as rapidly as possible all
legislation of Congress concerning public buildings directed to be

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

constructed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The office of the Supervising Architect is being brought to the highest
state of efficiency, and is responding to the demands made upon it
with the utmost dispatch consistent with good designs and business
methods. It must be borne in mind, however, that much time is
required to design and prepare working drawings for the great
number of buildings carried in the public building act of May 30,
1908. When that act was passed, a large volume of work under the
public building act of June 30, 1906, still remained to be done. The
projects carried by the act last mentioned have been practically disposed of 5 and the department, acting through the office of the Supervising Architect, has been engaged in the arduous task of selecting
sites for all of the buildings provided for by the act of May 30, 1908,
In many instances difficulties have been encountered in securing
sites on account of conflicting local interests which delayed selections;
prices largely in excess of the amount available have been placed
upon properties which were the most suitable for governmental purposes; and in numerous instances condemnation proceedings have
been forced upon the department in order that it might secure desirable locations. Despite these drawbacks, the administrative work
with reference to sites has been nearly finished, and the department
has taken up the extensions of old buildings carried by the last public
building act, and is now commencing work upon plans for the new
buildings.
The question as to the rapidity with which these buildings shall
be constructed is largely a matter of policy to be determined by Congress itself. The 1911 estimates provide ample funds to keep this
office working at full speed at its present capacity. At a time when
the revenues and expenditures of the Government are receiving the
most serious consideration at the hands of the executive branch, the
expenditure of approximately $12,000,000 annually for public buildings is worthy of serious consideration by both the legislative and
executive branches of the Government.
The following statements show the construction and financial operations of the department with reference to public buildings under its
control during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909:

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The plague situation on the Pacific coast is completely in hand,
though conditions are being carefully watched at home and in foreign ports; and important preventive action is still being undertaken. Plague in India showed a decrease during the year. In South
America it remained about the same.
An important study of typhoid fever in the District of Columbia
has been made and is still in progress, the details of which are set
forth in Hygienic Laboratory Bulletin No. 52. This work presents
a standard method of investigating typhoid fever which has been
already adopted in some other cities. The bureau is also participating in the study of the pollution of interstate waters.
The bureau has participated in the movement to study and control
tuberculosis, reporting its data in Bulletin No. 57.
It has made an investigation to determine the prevalence of rabies
in the United States and its geographical distribution, and has carried on extensively the Pasteur treatment at the Hygienic Laboratory and distributed the laboratory's " fixed virus."
Four bulletins have been issued as the result of the investigations
due to the recent appearance of pellagra in this country.
The distribution of four pamphlets giving the results of investigations of the hookworm disease, and the delivery of public lectures
without cost to the Government have, in the absence of legislation,
constituted the activities of the bureau respecting this important
matter.
The leprosorium on the island of Molokai, of the Hawaiian group,
has been completed ior a scientific study of that disease in all its
stages. Six reports have been made on this subject. The service
was represented at the International Congress Against Leprosy, held
in Bergen, Norway, in August.
There has been no yellow fever in the United States during the
year.
Cholera is being closely watched in other countries.
In the United States during the year there were reported 24,650
cases of smallpox—7,583 cases less than during the preyious year.
Vaccine virus and antitoxins.
Twenty-one establishments were licensed by the department, 10 of
them being foreign, under the act approved July 1, 1902.
Investigations during the year demonstrated that foot-and-mouth
disease may be transmitted to animals through vaccine virus. An
outbreak of this disease was traced to the vaccine virus of two establishments. The license of one firm, which had expired, was not
renewed, and the license of the other was suspended until all infected
Yivw was withdrawn from the market and the infection eradicated.



SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

51

The infection was due to importation from abroad, and revised
regulations were therefore issued which will effectually control the
importation of this produci, whether intended for sale or for laboratory purposes.
Hygienic laboratory.
The additions tb the building, provided by Congress and trebling
its capacity, were completed during the year. Nine bulletins, containing the results of scientific investigations, were prepared for publication, four of which were issued and five deferred until the fiscal
year 1910 on account of insufficiency of the appropriation.
Sanitary conference and advisory hoard.
The Seventh Annual Conference of State and Territorial Health
Officers with the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service was
held in Washington June 2 and 3, 1909. Twenty-six States and Territories and the District of Columbia were represented. The discussions illustrated the value of this official organization.
The advisory board of the Hygienic Laboratory was convened by
the Surgeon-General on March 26, 1909. Investigations conducted
in the laboratory were discussed, and the advice of the board obtained
with regard to the continuation of the same and new investigations.
National quarantine.
At the 44 quarantine stations in the continental United States
8,266 vessels were inspected, of which 520 were disinfected. Inspection has been maintained on the Mexican border.
National quarantine has been administered at 7 ports in the Philippine Islands, 7 in Hawaii, and 8 in Porto Kico.
Medical officers have been stationed at 8 fruit ports in Central
America to enforce special regulations relating to fruit vessels, to
permit their entry into the United States without detention.
Details have also been made to ports in Cuba, Mexico, Barbados,
and St. Thomas, to Eio de Janeiro, Callao, Guayaquil, Naples,
Calcutta, and to 2 ports in China and 3 in Japan. The officers
have exercised quarantine supervision over vessels bound to the
United States, and at a number of foreign ports have examined
aliens by request of the Immigration Bureau and steamship companies. By request of the Venezuelan authorities, on account of the
bubonic plague, an officer^ was detailed for duty at La Guiara; 1
also for immigration and quarantine service at Amoy, China, by
request of the United States consul, with special reference to the
protection of the Philippines.
In view of the establishment of a new line of steamers, plying
from Salina Cruz and Manzanillo, on the Mexican-Pacific coast,



52

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

direct to Honolulu, officers were appointed for the disinfection of
vessels at the two Mexican ports named to prevent the introduction
of yellow fever into the Hawaiian Islands, where this disease is at
present unknown, but where the conditions are ripe for its spread
should it be introduced.
New buildings of the quarantine station at Mobile, Ala., have been
completed. Technical difficulties in the matter of title have prevented the completion of the purchase of the Mississippi Eiver Quarantine Station, but it is expected the transaction will be completed in
the near future.. At Galveston, Tex., difficulty having been experienced in obtaining a waiver of jurisdiction over the site selected for
the new quarantine station, a new site has been determined upon,
already in the possession of the United States Government, and it is
expected the construction of the station will be begun during the coming year. One quarantine station, the South Atlantic, Blackbeard
Island, Ga., has been practically discontinued as no longer necessary,
because of changed commercial conditions. It is kept, however, in
readiness as a refuge station in case of need under skeleton organization.
Medical inspection of immigrants.
During the fiscal year, 966,124 immigrants were inspected under the
immigration laws and regulations, and 14,536 were certified for rejection on account of physical and mental defects. The inspections
were conducted at 58 stations in the continental United States,
Canada, Porto Eico, and Hawaii, but do not include the examinations
in the Philippines or at foreign ports. Personal examinations were
made of 965 aliens reported as public charges in various institutions
throughout the United States to ascertain whether they should be
deported under the immigration laws.
Service officers have also under the supervision of the Commissioner of Immigration conducted the large hospital for immigrants
at Ellis Island, where 6,186 patients were admitted for treatment.
Service publications.
During the year 246,060 copies of the various publications edited
in the bureau were distributed. These include the annual report,
the weekly Public Health Eeports, the bulletins of the Hygienic
Laboratory, and various special bulletins relating to the public health.
A new edition of the bulletin entitled " Milk and Its Eelation to the
Public Health " has been published.
^ Marine hospitals and relief.

pital and dispensary treatment, there were treated during the fiscal
year 53,074 patients, of which number 14,209 were treated in hospitals and 38,865 at the dispensaries. The new marine hospital at Buffalo, N. Y., has been completed and is occupied. At the sanatorium
for consumptives at Fort Stanton, N. Mex., 399 patients were cared
for during the year.
Physical examinations, exclusive of immigrants, were made of
4,980 persons connected with the Eevenue-Cutter, Life-Saving,
Steamboat-Inspection, Immigration, and Light-House services, the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, Civil Service Commission, Isthmian
Canal Commission, and Philippine Service.
. Expenditures,
The appropriation for the ordinary maintenance of the service was
$1,299,750, of which sum $200,000 was payable from the appropriation for expenses of regulating immigration. The receipts from all
sources, repayments for care of foreign seamen, etc., were $17,712.59.
The expenditures were $1,176,549.03; estimated outstanding liabilities, $10,487.84, leaving an estimated balance of $130,425.72.
The amount available of the appropriation for preventing the.
introduction and spread of epidemic disease at the beginning of
the fiscal year was $711,007.58. An appropriation amounting to
$750,000 was made in addition to the available balance reappropriated. The expenditures were $482,993,71, leaving a balance June 30,
1909, of $978,013.87. .
The appropriations for the maintenance of the quarantine service
were $420,000. The amount of repayments was $935.46. The expenditures were $399,784.03, which, deducting outstanding liabilities,
leaves an estimated balance of $18,313.66.
The amount available of the appropriation for national quarantine and sanitation at the beginning of the fiscal year was $368,666.68;
the repayments were $92; the expenditures were $43,014.60; the balance on hand June 30, 1909, was $325,744.08.
The amount available of the appropriation for the maintenance
of the leprosy hospital, Hawaii, at the beginning of the fiscal year
was $28,258.53. An appropriation amounting to $20,000 was made
in addition to the available balance reappropriated. The expenditures were $24,442.67, which, deducting outstanding liabilities, leaves
an estimated balance of $11,815.86.
L I F E - S A V I N G SERVICE.

During the last fiscal year, 1,376 vessels suffered disaster, more or
less serious, within the field of the operations of the life-saving establishment. These vessels carried a total of 8,900 persons, including




54

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

passengers and crews, of which number only 30, or thirty-four onehundredths of 1 per cent, were lost. The estimated value of the vessels
was $13,143,610, and of their cargoes $9,962,470, making the total
value of imperiled property $16,106,080. The totally lost vessels
numbered 72. The following is a tabular presentation of the important statistics relating to these casualties, the data being apportioned
between documented and undocumented craft, which latter class
includes vessels of less than 5 tons burden, such as small sailboats,
launches, rowboats, etc.:

The disasters that occurred during the year exceeded in number the
record of any former year in the history of the service, the increase
over the next preceding year being more than 25 per cent, and over
that of two years ago 64 per cent, or nearly two-thirds.
With regard to the amount of property imperiled, the year's record
also exceeds that of any former year, but the difference—$2,575,855—,
between the property values given for the last two years represents an
increase of only 19 per cent for 1909 over 1908, while the increase
was 53 per cent for 1908 over 1907, the difference being $4,697,640.
The excess in the number of disasters chronicled during 1908 over
the corresponding figures for 1907 was explained in the last annual
report as chiefly due to the extension of the field of life-saving operations resulting from the introduction of power lifeboats in the service
and to the growing popularity of gasoline motor boats for purposes
of business and pleasure. The rapid development of the same causes
accounts for the notable increase in the number of casualties which
occurred in the year last past.
Another interesting fact pertaining to this matter is the large
preponderance of undocumented vessels over documented, there
being nearly twice as many of the former as of the latter to meet
disaster. Prior to 1901 the disasters to documented vessels each
year exceeded those to undocumented. The preponderance of
motor boats in the list of 917 undocumented vessels included in
the tabular statement is likewise significant, the number being
470, or approximately 50 per cent of the class to which they belong.
I t may also be stated that of the 22 lives lost from undocumented




SECRETARY OF THE TEEASURY.

55

vessels, as shown in the table, 10 were lost from gasoline boats, exceeding by 2 the entire number lost from documented craft.
I n this connection, it is worthy of note that during the last decade
the rescue and salvage work of the service has practically doubled.
Of the 1,376 vessels mentioned in the table, 1,062, valued with their
cargoes at $2,995,760, wfere assisted by the crews of the service alone;
257 vessels, valued with their cargoes at $10,321,055, were aided by
the station crews in conjunction with revenue cutters, wrecking vessels, tugs, etc.; 16 vessels, valued with their cargoes at $1,853,150,*^
were assisted solely by private agencies; and 41 vessels, valued with
their cargoes at $936,115, were able to care for themselves without
assistance.
Assistance of more or less importance was also afforded to 171 documented and 343 undocumented vessels not included in the table,
making in all 1,833 vessels that received aid from the life-saving
establishment.
• The service crews gave warnings to 310 vessels and 161 sailing
craft standing into danger near the shore. In 246 instances these
signals were made at night and in 26 during the day. Of the vessels
so warned, 149 were steamers.
The crews also rendered much humanitarian service during the
year that had no relation to their duties in connection with casualties
to vessels. Such service included the rescue of 109 persons from
drowning and various other situations of peril, the giving of medical
and surgical attention to 57 sick and injured persons, and the succoring of 235 persons for periods amounting to two hundred and fortynine days. In addition, they performed effective service at 65 fires,
involving both government and private structures, and recovered and
restored private property of considerable value in the aggregate.
The net expenditures for the maintenance of the service during the
year were $2,215,035.52.
A t the close of the year the establishment comprised 281 stations,
distributed upon the sea and lake coasts as follows: On the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, 201; on the coasts of the Great Lakes, 6 1 ; on the
Pacific coast, 19.
Only one additional station was put in commission during the
year, namely, that authorized by law to be established at Waaddah
Island, Neah Bay, Wash. The station authorized to be located at
Lorain, Ohio, at the mouth of Black Eiver, is advancing toward completion. Contract has been entered into for the construction of a
station at the Isles of Shoals, off Portsmouth, N. H.; and plans and
sjpecifications for stations at Green Hill, E. I., and Eagle Harbor,
Mich., are nearly completed.
The influence of the introduction of power in the lifeboats and surfboats of the service, in greatly extending its scope and enhancing




56

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

its efficiency, has been referred to. So indispensable have these powerboats become that they are being supplied as rapidly as possible to
all stations at which they can be advantageously used. Especial care
has been taken to have them of the very best obtainable material,
construction, and equipment. Official reports show that in the performance of wreck duty in the worst of weather they have repeatedly
accomplished hazardous enterprises, taking the crews far beyond the
former limits of their field of work. In no instance has it been shown
that they have failed to withstand the severest test. Thirty-two of
them were added to the station equipment during the year, and others
are now building.
Under the provisions of the act of Congress approved December
11, 1908, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury " in his discretion
to transfer from time to time from the Treasury Department library
to the life-saving stations of the United States such books as, in his
judgment, may be no longer needed for use in said library," a total
of 4,388 volumes were distributed to the various stations of the service, giving to each station an average of 16 books. The collection
included 1,166 volumes of fiction, 737 of history, 673 of biography,
489 of description and travel, 229 of scientific character, 19 of fine-art
reproductions, and 1,075 of miscellaneous literature. The variety in
classification made it possible to supply each station with a selection
of reading matter sufficient to satisfy a diversity of tastes.
For several years past the Secretaries of the Treasury have called
attention in their annual reports to the desirability and justice of a
provision for pensioning the keepers and crews of the service disabled
in the line of duty, and especially for some measure providing for
the retirement of those whose usefulness has been more or less impaired by disease, injury, and the infirmities of age, or who have
become entirely disqualified for continuance in the service from these
causes. Previous to the passage of the act of March 26, 1908, it was
shown that the efficiency of the service itself was seriously affected by
the lack of able-bodied men, it having been found impossible to enlist
suitable surfmen at the compensation then paid. The act referred
to has materially improved the situation in this respect. A situation
yet remains, however, which compels the injustice, not to say inhumanity, of thrusting out upon the world men who, in devoted service
to the Government, have become incapacitated for earning a living
in any private vocation—^men who have to their credit deeds of
heroism and self-sacrifice that have honored the nation and won
for this branch of our public service acknowledged preeminence.
Such a condition is not in accord with the present-day civilization
as shown in the adoption of the pension idea by leading nations
abroad, and as manifested in our own country by the action of the
principal municipal governments and the most prominent public

service and private corporations in providing pensions and retirement for those classes of employees who engage in hazardous service.
Former recommendations for remedial legislation along the line
indicated are therefore earnestly renewed.
R E V E N U E - C U T T E R SERVICE.

The duties of the service along the coasts of the United States,
embracing Alaska and Porto Eico, and on the Great Lakes, have
been carried out in a faithful and an efficient manner. The fur-seal
fisheries in the north Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea have, as usual,
received protection by the detail of four cutters, which have actively
cruised in those waters during the season when depredations are
likely to occur. These vessels have performed also other important
duty in connection with the public interests in Alaska. On July 22,
1908, the Japanese schooners Saikai Maru and Kinsai Maru were
seized for sealing within the waters of St. Paul Island. Their officers
and crews were subsequently tried at Valdez, Alaska, and convicted.
The Thetis made the annual cruise into the Arctic Ocean, did much
valuable work generally in northern Alaska, and rendered timely
assistance to various passenger and freight steamers which were
caught and imperiled in the ice packs while trying to reach Nome on
the first opening of navigation. Owing to the number of vessels
bound for St. Michael and Nome which now enter Bering Sea early
in June, when ice conditions are often extremely hazardous, it probably will be necessary in future to have two revenue cutters in the
vicinity of the ice fields at that time for the purpose of aiding
shipping.
During the year there have been in active commission 26 cruising
cutters, and 18 harbor vessels and launches which are charged with
boarding duty and the enforcement of anchorage laws at various

designated ports. Under authority of the provisions of law, 12 officers have been on detached duty in connection with the Life-Saving
Service, for the purpose of inspecting the life-saving stations and
their equipments, drilling their crews, enforcing discipline, and superintending the construction of buildings, boats, and other appliances.
The work of assisting vessels in distress has been active and efficient.
The cruising cutters have performed excellent service in this respect
and have been quick to respond to the calls made upon them by
merchant craft in need of succor. On the same day, December 29,
1908, two abandoned lumber-laden schooners of considerable value,
which had been picked up adrift at sea, were towed into Chesapeake
Bay, one by the Seneca and the other by the Onondaga,^ and promptly
turned over to the owners. The record shows that the value of
marine property assisted was gre,ater than in any previous year since
the establishment of the service. The installation of wireless telegraph, and its effective maintenance, on the seagoing vessels of the
service have aided materially yi relief and rescue work. This was
strikingly shown when four revenue cutters started from distant
parts of the coast for the sinking steamship Repuhlic^ in collision off
Nantucket Shoals, immediately upon receipt of her wireless call for
help. A boat from the Gresharri rescued the last survivors as the ship
went down.
*
The duties of the Eevenue-Cutter Service are increasing in scope
and importance, and now include the enforcement of nearly every
statute bearing upon the maritime interests of the country. I t performs, besides, considerable work not specifically required by law.
I n the past year it has rendered assistance, in one way or another, to
about every department under the Government. The military
requirements of the service, both as to drills and discipline, have
been fully complied with and efficiently maintained.
Vessels,
i t is recommended that the Woodbury^ Forward^ Perry^ and Rush
be replaced, as soon as practicable, by modern, able, well-equipped
vessels. The cutters named are obsolete, have been under constant
repairs for many years, and are not suitable, either as to hulls or
machinery, for the work they are intended to perform. The Rush^
which was the last of these vessels built, has done service on the
Pacific coast and the waters of Alaska for 24 years, while the Woodbury is 45 years old. There is required also a stanch, seagoing cutter
for the Gulf coast, to aid distressed craft in those waters. A suitable boarding vessel, to cost not more than $80,000, should be provided for the port of Chicago. On account of the great shipping
and commercial interests in that locality such a vessel is needed not

only for the increasing requirements of the port named, but for duty
on the south and east shores of Lake Michigan. The recommendation is renewed that the steamer Manhattan^ which is detailed to
enforce the anchorage laws of the port of New York, be replaced by
a modern vessel.
Control of regattas—Seal islands.
Special attention is invited to the service rendered by revenue
cutters, first, in enforcing under the present law regulations to promote the safety of life during regattas and marine parades, and, second, in patrolling the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, for the
protection of the fur seals. Eevenue cutters are called upon constantly in the summer season to patrol the courses of yacht and boat
races on all parts of the sea and lake coasts, at the request of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. The rigorous patrol by vessels
of the service maintained in northern waters for a considerable period
of each year, the greater part of which work is in the vicinity of the
Pribilof Islands, is carried out also at the request of that department.
The execution of both of these services is necessarily under the immediate direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, who issues the instructions for the proper conduct of the patrols named. Formerly all
this work was under the Treasury Department exclusively. The present system, whereby another department exercises certain" jurisdiction, while this department attends to and carries out all the essential and important details, is cumbrous and unsatisfactory. I t is believed that it would be in the interest of the Government and the public
to place the authority for the control of regattas and marine parades
and the administration of the seal islands entirely with the EevenueCutter Service. Eelative to the latter, it would seem, from the very
nature of the case, that better results would be obtained for the protection, of seal life and the government and care of the natives on the
islands.
Removing dangers to navigation.
The Seneca.^ authorized by Congress to destroy or remove derelicts
and othier obstructions to navigation and the only vessel of her kind
in the world, was placed in active service in November, 1908, with
headquarters at Tompkinsville, N. Y. She was assigned a district on
the North Atlantic Ocean bounded by a line from Portland, Me., to
Sable Island, Nova Scotia; thence to the Bermuda Islands, and thence
to Charleston, S. C. The meritorious work of this vessel off the" east
coast of the United States in keeping the ocean highways clear of
dangerous obstructions to shipping has exceeded expectations, and
she has proved herself a valuable auxiliary to commerce. I n this
connection, it may be stated that all revenue cutters of the first class
on the Atlantic seaboard are provided with explosives suitable for the

work of removing sunken wrecks and other marine obstructions as
occasion may require.
Transfer of Fort Trumbull.
The transfer to this department is again recommended of the
Fort Trumbull reservation in Connecticut, which the War Department is willing to relinquish with certain limitations, that it may
be used by the school for the instruction and training of cadets which
is now located at Arundel Cove, Md. The reasons for this transfer
were clearly set forth in the last annual report.

$764,570.31 in postal savings deposits. This indebtedness has been
fully paid by the United States, except $2,357.05 in postal savings
certificates not yet presented for payment.
The appropriation of $1,000,000 provided by the Congress for the
liquidation in part of awards made for property destroyed in suppressing the bubonic plague in the Territory in 1899 and 1900 has
been practically expended. The First National Bank at Honolulu
reports that 26 awards, amounting to $1,730.51, are now outstanding.
SECRET-SERVICE DIVISION.

The secret-service division reports continued and somewhat extraordinary activity among counterfeiters in the larger industrial and
commercial districts. There were 19 new issues of counterfeit notes
during the year, several of which were in the dangerous class. There
was effective cooperation between municipal authorities and agents
of the Treasury Department wherever the counterfeiters seemed most
active, and the principals with many of their associates in the most
important conspiracies were arrested and either have been convicted
or are awaiting trial. Several organizations were discovered whose
supplies were imported from certain districts in Italy where the notes
were manufactured, and in these cases the prisoners were found to be
closely* affiliated with what is usually known as the " Mafia " and
" Black Hand " societies. The activity and loyalty of the members of
the field force of the division and its efficiency seem to have been
maintained at their normally high level. The arrests numbered 400
against 345 the previous year, and the counterfeit coins and notes confiscated represented $67,091.42 in value.

Attention is called again to the objectionable method of appropriating money for the purchase of stationery for this department and
to the embarrassment occasioned thereby.
The present practice, which has existed for many years, is to appropriate a certain amount ($40,000 being the amount for the present fiscal year) for the purchase of stationery for the department
proper and its several bureaus, offices, and divisions in Washington;
but in order to secure the benefits of the favorable department contract prices, the several outside Treasury services are supplied from
this appropriation by means, of a repay method by which sixteen
different appropriations reimburse the stationery appropriation, to
the amount (this year) of $70,552.45. This method, is cumbersome,
dilatory, and expensive, and serves no good purpose. Under its
operation contractors' bills for supplies furnished can not be paid as
promptly as they ought to be, on account of the delay experienced in
obtaining repay credits. Eepay accounts are not approved by the
auditor in the absence of the receipts of consignees for supplies furnished them, and these receipts, in many instances, are not received
for weeks after shipment; consequently the fund from which bills
are paid is but slowly replenished.
If a lump sum were appropriated for the whole service, as is done
in the case of the printing and binding, the public business would be

simplified and improved, and the recommendation of last year for
legislation to that end is renewed.
The total amount required would be, in round numbers, $115,000,
about $70,000 of which would be for the outside reimbursing services,
as given in detail in the foregoing table.
The magnitude of the correspondence conducted by this department is illustrated by the number of envelopes used by the 1,800
chief officers of the Treasury service, 12,900,000 having been issued
during the year.

1,1863. The amount of notes authorized by this act were to be in
lieu of $100,000,000 authorized by the resolution of January 17,1863
(12 Statutes, 822). The act of May 31, 1878 (20 Statutes, 87), provides
that no more of t h e United States legal-tender notes shall be can' celed or retired, and that when any of said notes are redeemed or
received into the Treasury under any law, from any source whatever, a n d shall belong to the United States, they shall notbe retired,
canceled, or destroyed, but shall be reissued and paid out again, and
kept in circulation.
The act of March 14,1900, provides that United States notes, when
presented t o t h e Treasury for redemption, shall be redeemed in gold
coin of t h e standard fixed in said act, and that in order to secure
the prompt and certain redemption of such notes it shall be the
duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to set apart in the Treasury a
reservefund of one hundred and fifty million dollars in gold coin and
bullion, to be used for such redemption purposes only, and that
whenever and as often as any of said notes shall be redeemed from
said fund it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to
use said notes so redeemed to restore and maintain the reserve fund
so established-rfirst, by exchanging the notes so redeemed for any
gold coin in the general fund of the Treasury; second, by accepting
deposits of gold coin at the Treasury or at any subtreasury in exchange for such notes; third, by procuring gold coin by the use of
said notes in accordance with the provisions of section 3700 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States. The above-mentioned act
also provides that if the Secretary of the Treasury is unable to
restore and maintain the gold coin in the reserve fund by the foregoing methods, and the amount of such gold coin and bullion in
said fund shall at any time fall below one hundred million dollars,
it shall be his duty to restore the same to the maximum sum of one
hundred and fifty million dollars by borrowing money on the credit
of the United States, and for the debt so incurred to issue and sell
coupon or registered bonds of the United States bearing interest at
the rate of not exceeding three per centum per annum, payable
quarterly, the bonds to be payable at the pleasure of the United
States after one year from the date of their issue, and to be payable,
principal and interest, in gold coin of the present standard value,
the gold coin received from the sale of said bonds to be exchanged
for an equal amount of the notes redeemed and held for exchange,
and the Secretary of the Treasury may, in his discretion, use said
notes in exchange for gold, or to purchase or redeem any bonds of
the United States, or for any other lawful purpose the public interests may require, except that they shall not be used to meet deficiencies in the current revenues.
The act of March 4, 1907, section 2, provides that whenever and so
long as the outstanding silver certificates of the denominations of
one dollar, two dollars, and five dollars, issued under the provisions

NOTE 1.—Annual interest charge computed on amount of outstanding principal at close of fiscal year and is exclusive of interest charge on Pacific Railway bonds.
NOTE 2.—The figures for July 1, 1879, were m a d e u p assuming pending funding operations to have been completed.
NOTE 3.—The temporary loan per act of July 11, 1862, is included in the 4 percents from 1862 to 1868, inclusive, with the exception of t h e amount outstanding: August
31, 1865, this being the date a t which t h e public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 per cent to 6 per cent, a n d was redeemable on ten days'
notice after thirty days, b u t being constantly changing it has been considered more equitable to include t h e whole amount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent interest "on
a n average for t h e year.

NOTE 1.—Specie payments were suspended from January 1, 1862, to January 1, 1879. During the
greater part of that period gold and silver coins were not in circulation except on the Pacific coast,
where, it is estimated, the specie circulation was generally about $25,000,000. This estimated amount
is the only coin included in the above statement from 1862 to 1875, inclusive.
NOTE 2.—In 1876 subsidiary silver again came into use, and is included in this statement, beginning
with that year.
NOTE 3.—The coinage of standard silver dollars began in 1878, under the act of February 28,1878.
NOTE 4.—Specie payments were resumed January 1,1879, and all gold and silver coins, as well as
gold and silver bullion in the Treasury, are included in this statement from and after that date.
NOTE 5.—For redemption of outstanding certificates an exact equivalent in amount of the appropriate kinds of money is held in the Treasury, and is not included in the account of money held as
assets of the Government.
NOTE 6.—This table represents the circulation of the United States as shown by the revised statements of the Treasury Department for June 30 of each of the years specified.
NOTE 7.—The Director of the Mint recently made a revised estimate of the stock of gold coin, and,
as a consequence of such revision, the estimated stock of gold in the United States and of gold coin
in circulation has been reduced $135,000,000 in the figures for 1907.
NOTE 8.—The details of the foregoing table, showing the amount of each kind of money in circulation each year since 1860, are omitted; but they may be had upon application to the Secretary of the
Treasury, Division of Loans and Currency, where a circular covering information on the subject has
been prepa.red for distribution.

TREASURER.
PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS.

The Secretary of the Treasury on September 14, 1908, authorized
the purchase of $250,000 of the certificates of indebtedness issued
under the act of June 13, 1898, at par and interest to date of purchase. The total disbursement in the transaction was $256,143.83.
REDEMPTION OF CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS.

The Secretary of the Treasury on November 9, 1908, gave notice
as follows:
Owners of the one-year 3 per cent certificates of indebtedness, which were issued
under the act of June 13, 1898, and are lodged with the Treasurer of the United States
as a basis for circulating notes of national banks, are hereby notified that the certificates will mature and cease to bear interest November 20, 1908. Any national bank
desiring to maintain the circulation secured by these certificates must furnish other
United States bonds to be substituted therefor not later than November 20, 1908.
Any national bank desiring to retire its circulation may do so by adopting a resolution
of its board of directors authorizing the redemption of the certificates and the application of so much of the proceeds thereof as may be necessary to the retirement of the
circulation based thereon * ^ * . Owners of the 3 per cent certificates are
advised that the one year's interest due November 20, 1908, will be prepaid, without
rebate, upon receipt at this department of the necessary resolution providing for the
redemption of the certificates.

The certificates outstanding were $13,936,500, and the interest
thereon to maturity, $418,095.
MATURED BONDS NOT PRESENTED FOR REDEMPTION.

Attention is again invited to the United States bonds of matured
loans outstanding and the neglect of the owners in withholding the
same from redemption.
The amount of such bonds and the loans may be observed in the
statement following:

AVAILABLE CASH BALANCE.

The available balance in the Treasury should> at all times be large
enough to enable the Government to continue operations without
embarrassment, especially at times when the influences of trade
depression causes a reduction of the - ordinary income below the
required outgo.
The experience of the past two years, in each of which there has
been a deficit, should be an admonition to conservative action in
authorizing expenditures largely in excess of variable revenues.
The balance in the Treasury at the end of each month from January, 1902, is stated in Table No. 31, page 214 of the appendix; and
for July 1 in each year since 1900 in the annexed statement.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
WITHDRAWAL OF BONDS TO SECURE CIRCULATION.

The national banks have utilized but little more than one-fourth
of their option in depositing lawful money in the Treasury during
the last fiscal year for the retirement of national-bank circulation.
The act of March 4, 1907, limited such deposits to $9,000,000'per
month, and until this limit has been reached it must be admitted
there is no restriction on retirements.
During the last fiscal year the largest monthly deposit was
$15,252,850, of which $13,316,500 was proceeds of called bonds.
The total deposits were $30,780,495.
The monthly deposits are recorded in Table No. 64, page 246, of
this report.

The Secretary of the Treasury determines the number of such
depositaries, the amount of public money required in each for the
transaction of the public business, fixes the amount of balances
they may hold, and requires the banks thus designated to give
satisfactory security, by the deppsit of United States bonds and
otherwise, for the safe-keeping and prompt payment of the public
money deposited with them, and for the faithful performance of
their duties as financial agents of the Government. The regular
depositaries receive and disburse the public moneys, and are required
to pay interest at the rate of 1 per cent per annum on the average
monthly amount of public deposits held in excess of the sum needed
for the transaction of the public business, while the special depositaries hold only the moneys transferred to them from the Treasury.
They pay interest at the same rate on the average monthly amount
of public deposits held. \

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
PUBLIC DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL BANKS.

The transactions relative to public deposits in national banks
from July 1, 1908, to October 31, 1908, may be seen in the annual
report of the Treasurer of the United States for the fiscal year 1908.
The balance in banks to the credit of the general fund on October
31, 1908, was $120,279,145.98. Owing to the large disbursements
made from the Treasury, not equaled by the income, the Secretary
of the Treasury on November 18 issued a call to 839 special depositary banks throughout the country for the return to the Treasury, by
each, on or before November 30, of $5,000 of the public moneys deposited therein. The depositaries responded promptly to the call,
and voluntarily added thereto $669,750, making a totalof $4,864,750
returned. The balance in banks to the credit of the general fund
was reduced to $113,578,810.64 by December 3, and decreased slowly
thereafter till the close of December, when it became $110,148,907.30.
Early in January it became apparent, from the large disbursements
being made, that it would be necessary to recall to the Treasury
additional deposits from banks, ^and accordingly the Secretary of
the Treasury, on January 11, issued a call to the depositary banks
throughout the country for the return to the Treasury of a part of the
public moneys deposited with them, payable as follows:
,Payable on or before January 23, 1909
Payable bn or before February 10, 1909.

$17, 717, 700
6,804,060

, A large number of the depositaries anticipated the payment of
the amounts required, and the balance therein to the credit of the
general fund gradually decreased to $88,523,857.04 by January 31.
The disbursements continued in excess of the receipts, and the
Secretary of the Treasury, on February 4, issued a call to the depositary banks throughout the country for the return to the Treasury
of $28,478,000 of the public moneys deposited with them, payable
on or before February 24. With few exceptions, the banks promptly
returned the amounts required, which reduced the balance therein
to $83,420,449.78 by February 13 and to $59,696,892.90 by the close
of i'ebruary.
The balances in banks to the credit of the general fund were but
slightly changed during the months of March and April. On April
22, 1909, the Secretary of the Treasury deemed it advisable to temporarily increase the public deposits in depositary banks located in the
District of Columbia by $3,000,000, as an offset to the large amount
of taxes collected in the District of Columbia and deposited in the
Treasury during the month of May, accepting as security therefor
bonds acceptable as legal investment under the savings banks laws
of the States of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, or Connecticut, at 90 per cent of their market value, but not exceeding 90 per cent
of their par value, the deposits to bear interest at the rate of 1 per
cent per annum under the act of May 30, 1908. The depositaries
agreed to the terms, and accordingly the amount was equitably
allotted and transferred to the banks early in May. Of the amount
so placed, the depositaries were required to return to the Treasury
20 per cent on or before July 15, 20 per cent on or before August 15,
and 10 per cent on or before the 15th of each following month, making
the final deposit on or before February 15, 1910. The department

reserved the right, however, to demand an earlier return of the
money thus deposited if for any reason it should be deemed advisable.
The balance in banks to the credit of the general fund at the close
of May was $61,388,906.98.
^ The assistant treasurer of the United States at Boston in May advised the department that there was doubt as to the safety of the
vault in his office, in which was stored more than $3,000,000 in silver
dollars, and asked that action be taken to remove the danger to the
building. The Supervising Architect of the Treasury, upon investigation, confirmed the views of the assistant treasurer, and recommended a transfer of a part of the coin to other places of storage.
Thereupon, the Secretary of the Treasury, as a measure of immediate
relief to the situation, deemed it advisable to increase the public
deposits in national banks in the city of Boston by $1,500,000 in
standard silver dollars, accepting as security therefor bonds that are
legal investments for savings banks in the States of New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, or New Jersey at 90 per cent of their
market value, but not exceeding 90 per cent of their pay value; and
the deposits to bear interest at the rate of 1 per cent per annum, and
to be returned in kind after due notice.
Two of the depositary banks in Boston agreed to receive the deposit,
one to take $1,000,000 and the other $500,000 upon the foregoing
terms; and the transfer to the banks was made on June 1 and 8, respectively.
At the close of the fiscal year June 30, 1909, the balance in banks
to the credit of the general fund was $60,427,525.69. Tho Secretary
of the Treasury, on June 30, 1909, issued a call on the depositary
banks for the return to the Treasury of $24,954,900. The regular
depositaries were required to pay the amount demanded of them in
equal parts on July 15 and 31, and the special depositaries the whole
of the amount demanded of them on or before July 15.
The balance in banks to the credit of the general fund at the end
of July was $43,555,422.59, and this amount was further reduced by
payments into the Treasury during the month of August, and by the
close of that month it became $38,065,058.79. - There was but little
change therein to the close of the month of October.
UNAVAILABLE FUNDS.

The unavailable funds in the accounts of the Treasurer have not
as yet been made the subject for legislation by Congress. Attention
is again invited to this matter, and in relation thereto the statement
of the case as submitted in the aimual report of the Treasurer of the
United States for the fiscal year 1908 is repeated here:
Attention is again invited to tbe necessity for legislation tbat will clear tbe accounts
kept in tbis office of unavailable funds and relieve tbe Treasurer of tbe United States
from furtber accountability for amounts wbicb bave passed from bis control witbout
fault or negligence on bis part. Tbis subject bas been called to tbe attention of Congress by many of my predecessors and bas received some consideration by committees
in tbe Senate and House of Representatives, but tbe desired legislation bas not been
enacted.
In tbe Forty-fourtb Congress, first session,-tbe Committee on Finance in tbe Senate
submitted a report (No. 371) in wbicb, on page 3, reference is made to tbis question of
unavailable moneys as follows:
*'All money in tbe Treasury, wberever it may be deposited or placed for disbursement or custody, is cbarged to tbe Treasurer of tbe United States. It is obvious, bow13518—FI 1909

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

146

ever, tbat tbis money may be lost witbout fault on tbe part of tbe Treasurer, by robbery, accident, defalcation of a subordinate officer, misconduct of depositaries baving
it in cbarge, or otberwise. Still, under tbe law, tbe Treasurer is responsible and is
cbarged with tbese sums. Sucb a deficit would, in tbe accounts of a firm, be a simple
plain entry in tbe profit and loss account by crediting casb and debiting tbe defaulter.
But from tbe fact before stated tbat money can not be taken from the Treasury except
by an appropriation, this course could not be pursued. An account called " unavailables" was created, which was charged with the amounts, and the Treasurer credited
in his general account through the statement of an account by tbe accounting officers.
This method of relieving the Treasurer is, your committee are informed, a practice
which has grown up, and is not authorized by law, and for some years past has been
prohibited by the Comptroller, and has been discontinued. It is plain that the
Treasurer should be relieved from this responsibility, and that Congress should in some
proper way provide by law for the dropping of these unavailable funds, by authorizing
a credit to the Treasurer and a corresponding charge against the defaulting officer who
fails to pay the money on demand.''
It is desirable that you should recommend such measures as will provide for the
dropping of these unavailable funds by authorizing a credit to the Treasurer and a
corresponding charge against the defaulting officer who fails to pay the money on
demand.^ There is precedent for such legislation in the act of March 3, 1837. (5 Stat.
L., 178.)
An itemized statement of the unavailable funds will be found in
Table No. 22 on page 188 of this report.
GENERAL STOCK OF MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES.

CONDITION OF THE UNITED STATES PAPER CURRENCY.

The total amount of paper money in the country at the close of
the fiscal year 1909 was $2,377,981,959, of which the Government
issued directly $1,688,061,885, or 71 per cent, and the national banks
$689,920,074, or 29 per cent.
There are two provisions of existing law which operate to keep the
national-bank notes in good condition, first, that which excludes said
notes from the national bank reserves accelerates the movement of
the notes from the banks where they accumulate to the Treasury for
redemption in lawful money of the United States; second, that which
requires the national banks to bear the expense of transporting their
circulating notes to the Treasury for redemption. The first provision
ractically forces the notes to the Treasury for redemption, the other
ghtens the burden to the owners of the notes by taxing the banks
of issue with the expense of transportation to the Treasury. The
transportation charges on the return of the proceeds are borne by the
owners of the notes.
The paper issues of the Govemment are not favored by legislation
that encourages the return of the worn and unfit notes to the Treasury
for redemption; however, in subtreasury cities such notes majr be exchanged for other currency, but there is no certainty of securing any
desired denominations in return therefor. The demand for small denominations of currency causes the return to the Treasury of large
amounts of paper issues to.be exchanged for small denominations,
and in such cases the owners of the government paper have to pay the
transportation charges both ways. It is in the payment of these
charges under contract rates which gives rise to a burden that does
not bear equally upon the banks and other business interests in the
different sections of the country, as for instance, the contract rates
from Chicago, St. Louis, and Boston to Washington are 20 cents per
$1,000, while such rates from New Orleans, Atlanta, and Richmond
to Washington are 60 cents per $1,000.
From the foregoing it is apparent that there is a necessity for legislation that will equahze the expense of redemption between the different sections of the country, and that will require or encourage the
return of all worn currency to the Treasury when received by bankers,
national banks, and postmasters.

E

UNITED STATES NOTES.

The United States notes issued and redeemed during the last fiscal
year were $132,940,000. There was a noticeable decrease in the $10
notes outstanding, which, however, was offset by an increase in notes
of the denominations of $5, $500, and $1,000. The changes were
necessary in order to supply^ the demand for smaU denominations, and
to provide large denominations to be used by the subtreasury in the
settlement of clearing-house balances at New York.

TREASURY NOTES OF 1890.

The Treasury notes of 1890, under provisions of law, are disappearing. The total amount issued was $155,931,002, and the amount
outstanding at the close of the last fiscal year had been reduced to
$4,215,000, against which standard silver dollars in equal amount
were held in the trust funds for their redemption when presented.
The amount outstanding by denominations is stated in Table No. 33,
page 217, of this report.
GOLD CERTIFICATES.

The gold certificates are the representatives of gold coin deposited
in the Treasury under provisions of law. The increase in the amount
outstanding during the last fiscal year was $32,818,000. There has
been a rapid growth in the volume of these certificates since 1900, but
it threatens no peril to the stability of the currency.
The transactions in gold certificates during the fiscal year 1909 are
set forth, by denominations, in the subjoined table:

TREASURER.
SILVER

CERTIFICATES.

The demand for denominations of currency under $10 is met
principally by the issue of silver certificates against silver dollars in
the general fund of the Treasury, or by turning larger denominations
of silyer certificates, as they are redeemed into $1, $2, and $5.
The total amount of silver certificates outstanding at the close of
the fiscal year 1909 was $484,414,000, an increase of $10,064,000
as compared with that of twelve months earlier.

The national bank circulation owes its apparent advantage of
longevity to the circumstance that the original plan of redemption
was found to be practically inefficient. Since tne inauguration of
the present system of redemptions in the office of the Treasurer on
July 1,1874, these notes have been freely retired on becoming unfit
for use with a consequent shortening of their fife, but the records of
the earlier period still affect the calculations based on the whole
history of the issue.

REPORT ON T H : E FINANCES.

PAPER CURRENCY PREPARED FOR ISSUE AND AMOUNT ISSUED.

Precaution prompts the preparation of an adequate volume of
paper currency of the kinds and denominations authorized by law in
advance of putting it into circulation. The" pieces of currency
actually issued during the last fiscal year numbered 202,746,192, as
against 206,898,000 prepared for issue. The reserve essential to
permit the paper, printing, and seahng to dry and harden so as to
secure the best results in appearance and wear is not yet as large as
economy and prudence suggests. In the coming year it is beheved
this criticism will be no longer justified.
The number of pieces and amount of paper currency prepared for
issue and the amount issued since 1902 is set forth in the subjoined
table:

REDEMPTIONS

OF

PAPER

CURRENCY.

The redemptions follow closely the issues of government paper
currency. During the fiscal year 1909 the number of pieces redeemed
was 194,507,569, an increase of 22,328,992, or 12.9 per cent, over those
of 1908.
In the first quarter of 1910 the number of pieces redeemed was
49,763,706, an increase of 8,175,765, or 19.6 per cent, as compared
with the corresponding period in 1909.
Under present regulations United States paper currency unfit for
circulation, when npt mutilated so that less than three-fifths of the
original proportions remain, is redeemed at full face value of the note;
if less than three-fifths, but clearly more than two-fifths of the original
proportions remain, is redeemed at one-half the face value of the
whole note or certificate. Fragments less than three-fifths are redeemed at face value of the whole note when accompanied by an
affidavit of the owner or other person having knowledge of the facts
that missing portions have been totally destroyed.
Comparison of the redemptions, by months, for the fiscal years
1908 and 1909 and first q.uarter of 1910 may be observed in the annexed table:

At the close of the last fiscal year the total stock of standard silver
dollars was $564,061,719 (exclusive of $4,215,000 held against outstanding treasury notes).
The amount held in the Treasury was $492,073,819 while there
were in circulation $71,987,900 as against $76,328,657 in 1908.
Silver dollars are in demand in some parts of the country and are
shipped to depositors therefor, but the expense of transportation is
now paid by the consignee. The accumulation of these coins in the
Treasury is not in excess of the amount that can be utilized as a basis
for the issue of silver certificates.
The shipment of silver dollars to depositors therefor, by months,
during the past two years and a quarter is recorded in the subjoined

Thefollowing tables "give the deposits in NewYork in all months,
when any were made, and the resultant payments in the several
cities from January, 1905, to September, 1909:

Depositors of gold bullion at the above-named offices are paid
therefor in coin or by checks on assistant treasurers and depositary
banks. During the fiscal year 1.909, $395,000 in gold coin was transferred from San Francisco to Carson, and $2,400,000 to Seattle to be
used in making payments for local deposits of gold bullion.
TRANSFER OF GOLD COIN FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

The accumulation of gold coin in the mint of the United States at
San Francisco in excess of public requirements on the Pacific coast,
and to which attention had been invited in previous reports, was
transferred to the mint at Denver during the last fiscal year. The
amount moved was $272,500,000, at a cost of $1 per $1,000.
SHIPMENTS OF CURRENCY FROM WASHINGTON.

The currency shipped from the Treasury in Washington to the subtreasuries, banks, and others during the fiscal year 1909 amounted to
$571,380,547, as against $631,287,614 durmg the preceding twelve
months. In 1908, the packages sent were 93,919, while in 1909 they
numbered 96,172, an increase of 2,253. The comparison of two years follows:

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
REDEMPTION OF NATIONAL-BANK NOTES.

The national-bank notes presented for redemption during the
fiscal year amounted to $461,522,202, exceeding by $111,887,861 the
largest sum ever presented for redemption in any year. The redemptions were 67.80 per cent of the average amount of the notes outstanding during the year, which was $680,666,307. This percentage,
however, was exceeded in the year 1877, when redemptions, amounting to $242,885,375, were 75.47 per cent of the average amount outstanding during that year. The average denomination of the notes
outstanding during this fiscal year was $10.11; of the notes redeemed
it was $9.71. The total number of notes redeemed was 47,294,777.
The redemptions by denominations of the average amount outstanding amounted to 75 per cent of the $5 notes, 69.34 per cent of the
$10 notes, 64 per cent of the $20 notes, 54.40 per cent of the $50
notes, and 51.17 per cent of the $100 notes.
Following the usual movement of bank notes to the Redemption
Agency, the redemptions in the first six months, July to December,
were only 39.59 per cent of the total for the year, while 60.41 per cent
was redeemed in the second six months, January to June. The
smallest monthly amount redeemed was $24,776,186 in September,
and the largest was $56,627,458 in January. A monthly average
would have been $38,460,183.
The redeemed notes were paid for in the following ways: By the
treasurer's checks on the various subtreasuries to the amount of
$219,617,316, by remittances of $165,668,342 in new United States
currency, by remittances of $187,979 in gold, silver, and minor coins,
and by the credit of $74,063,371 in various accounts.
The notes assorted and delivered during the year amounted to
$500,636,735.50. The excess of deliveries over redemptions was
caused by the reduction of the balance of $62,277,880 in redeemed
notes on hand unassorted at the commencement of the year to a balance of $20,645,204 at the close of the year. The assorted notes forwarded to the banks of issue as fit for use amounted to $89,629,100,
those delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency for reissue to
$321,445,552.50, and those for retirement to $89,562,083. Under
provisions in the emergency currency act of May 30, 1908, it became
impracticable to separate the notes issued by a bank prior to that
act from the notes issued suhsequent to that act from plates which
had been changed to conform to the requirements of the act. In
consequence of this the deposits of lawful money previously received
from banks under the various provisions of law for the retirement
of certain series of their notes and the deposits subsequently so
received, have been used since July 1 to retire any notes issued by
the bank making the deposit without regard to the series. Under
this practice the redemptions of the notes of a bank on the 5 per cent
account cease until the deposit for retirement of its notes is exhausted.
This change in practice accounts for the large sum of notes retired by
redemption during the year. Notwithstanding this retirement of
notes the transactions during the year in further deposits for retirement of notes and in fresh deposits of bonds for additional notes,
resulted in a net decrease of only $8,413,843 in the amount of circulation during the year. The total deposits for the retirement of notes




167

TREASUREE.

amounted to $45,621,739.50, those received under the compulsory
provisions of law relating to extended bank charters and bank liquidations were $14,841,244.50, and those under the provision of law for
the voluntary retirement of notes with a monthly limit of $9,000,000
were $30,780,495. Of this latter sum, however, $13,316,500 came
from the redemption by the Government of 3 per cent certificates
which had been pledged by the banks for notes.
Inclusive of charges for transportation, salaries, printing, stationery, and' contingent expenses, the total costs for the year were
$396,743.15, which have been assessed upon the banks at the rate of
$0.79762 per $1,000 of notes redeemed.
SPURIOUS ISSUES DETECTED IN 1909.

The nominal value of the counterfeit coins and paper currency of
all kinds detected at the Treasury and subtreasuries during the last
fi.scal year was $13,629.14, as against $13,236.19 in 1908.
SPECIAL

The Central Pacific Railroad settled the balance of its indebtedness to the Government on July 28, 1908, and the bonds of the company held as security therefor were released.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The transactions of the Treasurer of the United States, ex officio
commissioner of the sinking fund of the District of Columbia, pertaining to the affairs of the District, are fully set forth in a separate
paper.
During the fiscal year 1909 the bonds of the funded debt retired
amounted to $491,300, resulting in the reduction of the annual
interest charge by $17,833.90.
From July 1, 1878, to the close of the fiscal year 1909 the bonded
debt was increased by the issue of 3.65 per cent bonds amounting to
$1,254,050, and decreased by the operation of the sinking funds and
otherwise $13,246,550, making a net reduction of $11,992,500, and
of the annual interest charge $646,592.65. The interest-bearing
bonds outstanding June 30, 1909, were $10,114,150.
Since the close of the fiscal year the debt has been further reduced
by the purchase of 3.65 per cent bonds amounting to $446,350. This
leaves outstanding October 1, 1909, $9,667,800 in bonds bearing
3.65 per cent interest.
The retentions from 39 District of Columbia contracts were canceled during the year by the return to the contractors of $65,170 in
bonds and $67,534.36 in cash.
At the close of the fiscal year 1909 the 10 per cent guaranty fund
amounted to $249,326.56, and was credited to 86 separate contracts,
and is represented by $151,480 in bonds purchased at the request
and risk of contractors, and $86,057.84 uninvested cash.
INCREASE OF SALARIES.

Since I have held the office of Treasurer of the United States the
duties and responsibilities of the employees of this bureau have been
carefully studied, and it is my observation that the salaries paid are
not adequate for the services rendered.
The salaries of employees in this office should be large enough to
command the best talents, and should be at least large enough to
give them and their families a respectable livelihood, and to enable
them to save something for the needs of old age.
The salaries of the classified service (clerks of classes 1,2, 3, and 4)
were established by the law, April 22, 1854, and have not since been
changed. At that time the cost of living was much less than at
present, and the salaries were adequate; but now the cost of all the
articles that enter into the consumption of a family have increased so
largely that the government official holding a position in the classified
service, the salary of which has not been increased for more than
fifty years, finds it a difficult matter to provide for the wants of a
family and quite impossible to put aside but a small part of his earnings for the wants of that period when he shall have outlived the days
of his usefulness in the public service.
The risk of loss and the pecuniary responsibilities of many of the
employees of this office are very great. The arguments urged may
perhaps apply with more strength and force to an office like this, but
the same reasons for an increase of pay apply, with more or less force,
to every branch of thie public service.

TREASURER.

Daily wages have been increased in every line of industry throughout the country, but the salary of the clerk has remained stationary.
I t is suggested that you invite the attention of Congress to this
subject.
Your attention is invited to the comparison of annual salaries paid,

THE

The question has been before the public for several years and
numerous bills in relation thereto have been introduced in Congress,
but none of these bills have been sanctioned by that body. Throughout the country the necessity for making provision for those who
have grown old in the service of mercantile establishments, banks,
and great railway lines is receiving attention, and in many instances
ample funds have been provided and the plans put into practice
with very satisfactory results.
The employees of the Government, a faithful and efficient class of
citizens, are growing old in its service, and that, too, on salaries
which, in these times of high prices and cost of living, afford no margin
for saving to provide for the wants of old age. Therefore it is suggested that in the legislation to come before Congress at the next
session relative to a readjustment of salaries, there be coupled with
the measure some Icind of retirement plan whereby the Government
will make deductions from the salaries of all employees in future
sufficient to provide the necessary retirement fund. Such a plan
would in the course of a few years be self-supporting, and on a basis
entirely diff'erent from that of a civil pension system to be paid for
out of taxation. Under such provisions it would fall to the lot of
Congress to provide for the old clerks who are now on the rolls of the
departments, but who manifestly could not at this date contribute
enough for their own pensions. With this temporary aid the plan
would be on its face essentially like the Australian requirement, that
every clerk, on appointment would at once begin the purchase' of a
deferred annuity, and thus make provision for old age.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The Treasurer can not close this, his final report, without expressing his high appreciation of the integrity, loyalty, efficiency, and
hearty cooperation of'the officers and clerks with whom he has been
associated in the conduct of the affairs of the bureau since July 1,
1905. Vast sums of money mounting up to the billions have been
handled in this bureau since that date, and it is gratifying to state
that not one cent of the public moneys has been lost.

DIRECTOR OF THE MINT^
NEW DESIGN FOR THE ONE-CENT PIECE.

With the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury the new design
for the bronze one-cent piece was adopted in April, 1909. On the
obverse the head of Lincoln appears instead of the Indian head which
this piece had borne since 1864.
The engraver of the mint at Philadelphia was instructed to prepare
dies, and coinage of this piece was commenced in May. No coins
were paid out until after the close of the fiscal year. A stock was
accumulated at the Philadelphia mint to enable that institution to be
in a position to fill orders promptly. The distribution of this piece
was commenced on August 2, 1909.

DIRECTOR OF THE M I N T .
COINAGE FOR THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT.

Owing to the advance in the price of silver bullion in 1905 and
1906, the bullion value of the. silver contained in two Philippine
esos and the subdivisions thereof, as authorized by the act of
[arch 2, 1903, was greater than that of one dollar in United States
-gold coin.
For the purpose of preventing the melting and exportation of the
coins from the islands as a result of the appreciation in the price
of silver. Congress passed an act on June 23, 1906, authorizing the
government of the Philippine Islands to reduce the weight and
fineness of the coins as authorized under the act of March 2, 1903,
and .to recoin the coins previously made. Under date of December
6, 1906, the Philippine Commission passed an act fixing the weight
and fineness of the Philippine coins.
.
The weight and fineness of the Philippine silver coins authorized
under the act of March 2, 1903, and of the reduced weight and fineness authorized under the act of June 23, 1906, are as follows:

LABORATORY OF THE BUREAU OF THE MINT.

From the coinage of the calendar year 1908 the assayer of this
bureau tested 425 gold and 666 silver coins, all of which were found
within the legal requirements as to weight and fineness.
In the gold coins the greatest deviation above standard (the legal
limit being 0.001 above or below) was 0.0003, while the greatest deviation below was 0.0006.

In addition to the above there were examined 334 Philippine silver
coins, all of which were within the legal requirements as to weight and
fineness. Also 68 assays of miscellaneous gold were made in settlement of differences between the Denver mint and the Seattle assay
office, and 55 samples of ores were assayed for the United States Geological Survey.
THE ASSAY AND VALUATION OF GOLD BULLION.^
[By Frederic P . Dewey, assayer. Bureau of the Mint.]
The Bureau of the Mint of the United States Treasury maintains 13 offices for the
purchase of gold bullion, and this paper describes an investigation to establish the
reasonable differences in the assay results at the various institutions which may be
commercially allowable in t h e . settlements between them. Beginning with the
comparative assay of proof gold at the Philadelphia mint and the Utrecht mint, which
shows 0.00002 as the'closest agreement now possible, nine tables of comparative results,
taken from the regular work of the service, are given. These tables begin with very
fine gold, produced in an electrolytic refinery, showing close agreement in the assay
results, and follow through decreasing gold fineness and increasing amounts and
complexity of base metals to very impure and complex bars produced at cyanide mills,
some of which give widely varying results. Next is given a series of results on samples,
prepared and sent out to various laboratories in the service, to test the influence of
different metals and various combinations upon the agreement of the assay results; 11
samples were sent out and each one was assayed from 44 to 71 times, making a total of
623 assays. To these are added 107 assays of identical samples of coin gold.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

occasion« I have called attention to the accuracy of the commercial assay for silver.
The present paper deals chiefly with an effort to establish certain commercial standards
of agreement or accuracy in the assaying" of gold bullion for purchase in the various
laboratories of the United States mint service.
Besides the coinage mints at Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, and San Francisco, and the large assay office on Wall street in New York City, all of which purchase
and refine bullion, the Mint Bureau of the United States Treasury maintains eight
smaller assay offices, scattered about through the mining districts of the country
which purchase bullion and ship it to the mints to be refined. These smaller offices
were established as an aid to the mining industry of the country by giving the small
miners the opportunity to sell their bullion easily and quickly for cash.
Owing to the particular and rigid methods of bookkeeping of the Treasury Department, the mints are compelled to treat the bullibn sent to them from.the assay offices
in exactly the same manner as the bullion deposited directly by individuals, and the
prices are carefully determined at which the assay office bullion should be charged
against the mint in the Treasury accounts. Naturally, discrepancies sometimes arise
between the mints and the assay offices. > A very large proportion of these are small and
are easily adjusted. In fact, most of them adjust themselves automatically, as they
are on both sides of the account, and the gains and losses over a period of time will
counterbalance each other. On rare occasions, however, the differences require
adjustment hy umpire assays in the laboratory of the Bureau of the Mint at Washington. For several years I have been gathering data upon the subject, and have had
a series of assays made in order to establish standard limits of differences which might
be considered as allowable on different classes of bullion.
The methods of assaying followed in the various institutions are substantially the
eame, and have grown up as the result of many years of experience, so that with careful
work on pure bullions the results obtained at different institutions ought to agree very
closely; but with impure bullions—that.is, bullions containing other constituents
besides gold and silver—the chances for variations in the results increase. The action
of different impurities varies widely. Only small aniounts of some impurities induce
excessive variations in the results, while comparatively large amounts of others have
but little effect, and, on the other hand, a combination of several impurities in a bullion
may be most disastrous to any agreement of the assay results.
The bullion is handled in the same m^anner at all the institutions. It is weighed as
received, and then melted. Generally a simple melting with soda or borax, or both,
is sufficient, but sometimes it is more or less refined in the pot. In the case of large
melts, 1,000 ounces or over, or of very impure bullion, a small sample may be dipped
or poured out from the well-stirred pot and granulated in water. The granulations
are used for the assay sample. In general, however, the metal is cast into bars, and
these bars are chipped, top and bottom, to obtain the assay samples. The bars are
again weighed and the assays made, when the value of the deposit is calculated from
this data. If, however, the various assays made on a deposit do not agree well enough
to satisfy the assayer, the bar is remelted, with or without refining in the pot.
The. determination of gold in ores by the fire assay, when properly executed, is
justly regarded as one of the most accurate of analytical methods. With ordinary care
and an excellent bead balance, 1 part of gold in more than 20,000,000 parts of ore can
be readily and accurately determined. The determination of 1 part of gold in 5,000,000
parts of ore is very easily done. . Until recently, however, it was rare for commercial
ore assaying to attain to the accuracy of 1 part in 5,000,000.
The ability to determine gold in ores with such great accuracy is due to the fact that
very large amounts of ore, up to 0.25 kg., are taken for the assay, and on a high-grade
button balance the resulting bead can be weighed to ^J^ mg. In assaying bullion,
however, such extreme accuracy is out of the question, for the simple reason that there
is a limit to the amount of bullion that can be taken for the assay. To obtain the most
accurate results the assay sample must be weighed on the same high-grade balance on
which is weighed the resulting cornet, and the sample must also be weighed with the
same de.^ree of care and accuracy as the cornet. Now, the load that a very sensitive
bead balance will safely carry is generally limited to 1 g., and the amount of metal
generally taken for a gold-bullion assay is 0.5 g., or one-half of the maximum load
of the balance.
Another point in bullion assaying which militates against extreme accuracy in the
results lies in the fact that the cornet which is weighed is itself gold, and, in high-grade
bullions, it is a very large part bf the sample taken for the assay, so that even slight.

277

DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .

errors in the handling of the comet, resulting in slight losses or gains in its weight, count
heavily against the highest accuracy of the results.
About two years ago samples of proof gold were exchanged between the Philadelphia
mint and t h e Utrecht mint, and these samples were assayed in comparison with the
utmost care at both institutions, with the result that the Utrecht proof was pronounced
slightly the best by both mints. The difference in the results of the assays at the two
places was only 0.00002. This is b y far the most careful and exhaustive comparison of
gold bullion assays known to me, and undoubtedly represents the limit of accuracy
at present attained by human skill in such work.
Table I shows a series of results obtained b y three assayers working in the same
laboratory upon fine gold from an electrolytic refinery. Each assayer worked upon
t h e same sample in each set of assays as averaged, the samples being cut from both
the tops and bottoms of the bars. While there is a possibility that there may be some
difference in composition between the tops and bottoms of the bars, yet in such highgrade material as this any such difference must be slight, and 8 tests upon the subject
showed a maximum difference between the top and bottom of only 0.0001, which is
considerably less than many of the differences between individual assays. On the
whole, then, t h e figures may be taken as fairly representing the ordinary run of commercial work upon such high-grade bullion. I t will be noted that in several cases
the figures exceed 1,000, which is due, in part at least, to the high grade of the material.
I t may also be due in part to the presence in the electrolytic gold of unusual impurities in very small amounts. These data emphasize the necessity of averaging a
large number of assays tb get a satisfactory determination of the fineness in such
very high-grade material..

Table I I shows results obtained b y various assayers in a single laboratory in assaying
granulation samples from a wide variety of bullion.
The figures given in Table I I I are all taken from a single shipment and show the
accuracy that can be obtained upon material of fairly uniform composition, being
mostly gold and silver, with b u t little base metal present. This.table shows, first,
the results obtained at the assay office where the bullion was originally purchased;
and, second, the results obtained upon the same material when shipped to a mint.
I n some of these samples there is undoubtedly a difference between the tops and bottoms of the bars, b u t the figures show the agreement that may be expected between
two institutions in arriving at the value of such deposits.
Table IV gives the assays of 14 bars which were referred to the bureau laboratory
for adjustment, although the average differences between the mint and the assay office
were only slight.
The handling of bullion produced at mills using the cyanide process of gold extraction has given a great deal of trouble.

Even when properly prepared such bars are likely to be troublesome, but when, as
not infrequently happens, the slimes are not properly purified before being melted
into bars, they may give no end of trouble.
A very mild case of variation in cyanide bars is shown in Table V. As received,'
these bars were chipped and the chips assayed. Since the figures thus obtained were
considerably higher than the shipper's figures, the bars were then carefully bored and
the borings assayed. Finally, the bars were remelted, with small losses in each case,
and granulations taken. The granulations were then assayed.

Table VI exhibits the results obtained by sampling three cyanide bars, high in gold
and very low in silver, in three different ways. The assays show a wide variation on
the chip samples. While the drill-sample assays are fairly concordant for this class
of material, the dip-sample assays agree much better and are to be preferred.

An assay office had received a cyanide bar which showed 546, 545.5, 546.2, 546
fine in gold. This was considered satisfactory, and it was shipped to a mint, but the
chip samples there yielded most varying resiilts, as follows: 544.6, 535.2, 543, 535,
542.4, 555.6. The bar was then remelted, and granulations showed 550.2 and 551.2.
Another cyanide bar received at the same assay office from the same mill showed
592, 593.9, 592.9, 593.3 fine in gold, and was accepted. It was shipped to the same
mint, where chips showed 603.6 and 590, while borings showed 588 and 588.6. The
bar, which weighed 559.65 ounces Troy, was remelted, with a loss of 1.78 ounces,
and granulations from the melt showed 601.8 and 601.8 fine in gold.
Having had a great deal of trouble with some bars from this mill, while others
gave but little trouble, the assay office gave one of the bad bars a very thorough treatment by melting and refining in the pot. As received, the bar weighed 643.30 ounces
Troy, and was probably about 847 fine in gold. It was melted seven times, when it
weighed 502.01 ounces, showing a loss of 141.29 ounces in weight. The final bar was
933.4 fine in gold and 21 fine in silver. The gold loss from this excessive course of
meltings was only approximately 3.75 ounces, most of which could undoubtedly be
recovered from the slags.
The details of the meltings are shown in Table VII. It should be noted that the
fourth melt shows practically no refining, and the weight was only slightly reduced,
80 that no practical change is shown in the ^assays.

From an extensive series of tests made at the San Francisco mint it was found that,
as a rule, in the cyanide bars from several California plants the chip samples taken
from t h e outside of the bars would be about 2.5 fine less in gold than the borings when
taken away from the edges of the bar, and that the borings gave satisfactory samples
of the bars.
Thirteen miscellaneous deposits were united in a mass melt and cast into 17 bars,
weighing 2,841.77 ounces. * Each bar was chipped twice and each chip was assayed in
duplicate for gold. The following table shows the number of times the stated fineness
was obtained:

The average of the 68 assays showed the mass to be 407.16 fine in gold.

When made from the highest, grade of metals bur coin gold, 900 gold and 100 copper,
does not segregate. The gold used may contain a very small amount of silver, b u t
should be as free as possible from all other impurities, and the copper should be of the
highest purity possible. Occasionally, in practice, however, there will be some
segregation due to some impurities present in minute amounts. On one occasion an
inside strip cut from a double eagle was assayed six times and yielded the following
gradually decreasing figures: 900.2, 900.1, 899.9, 899.85, 899.5, 899.45. On another

One of our most annoying and yet very interesting and instructive cases was a lot
of foreign coin gold, the product of a mint which is very careful in the manufacture
of its coins. Twelve deposits of this material were received at the Philadelphia mint
from the New York assay office. I t was supposed to be 916J fine in gold, the balance
being copper, and very uniform in composition, but the New York assays showed
considerable variation. At Philadelphia one man assayed each deposit in duplicate,
and he was checked by another man with a single assay, as shown in Table I X .

This bullion was diluted with copper to bring it down to the United States standard.
While our standard is 900 fine, and this law allows a variation of one one-thousandth
up or down, so that legally the coins may run from 899 to 901 fine in gold, yet the working limits adopted at the mints are much narrower than the legal limits, and generally no gold ingots are passed by the assayer below 899.7 fine nor above 900.2 fine.
I n making ingots from this metal an unusual number of melts had to be rejected
and remelted for want of uniformity. I t was expected that the coins made from this
bullion would run low, b u t none of those regularly tested did. I n fact, two from one
delivery were most unusually high, viz, 900.6 and 900.7. Thereupon 12 coins were
selected from the same delivery and 46 assays were made upon them, with the following results:

The trouble with this metal undoubtedly arose from the presence of a small amount
of some impurity causing a segregation of the gold, b u t enough work to decide what
this was could not be given to the matter. In a similar case, with a different highgrade foreign coin gold at the San Francisco mint, the trouble was traced to the presence of a minute amount of antimony.
I n order to get a much wider range of comparison, and to test the influence of the
different metals and of various combinations upon the gold assay, a series of samples
was prepared in the bureau laboratory and sent out to various laboratories in the
service for assay. I n preparing the samples the metal was thoroughly mixed by
stirring when molten and remelted as often as appeared necessary. They were finally
cast into small bars, and when sufficiently ductile were rolled out thin. The strips
were cut into small squares, and these were mixed up and the samples for each institution taken out of the mixed pile of pieces. I n the case of the brittle bars, they were
hammered out and rolled until they crumbled to pieces. The larger pieces were
then cut up, and the whole mixed before the samples were taken out.
All through the preparation of the samples very great care was exercised, so that in
each set every sample sent for assay should be identical, and thus eliminate from the

assay results all chances of differences being due to differences in the samples operated
upon, and to confine the differences shown to the actual assay work. In one very base
sample, which will be further noted, it was not possible to adhere to this rule because
the metal was too hard.
In making such small melts it is practically impossible to adhere to any predetermined composition with any degree of closeness.
The first sample sent out was gold about 105finein silver and about110finein copper;
seventy-one assays of this sample were made in 9 laboratories, with theJ following results:

Having on hand some ferruginous bullion, I attempted to prepare a sample for this
work, but experienced considerable difficulty in getting a satisfactory metal, owing
to the separation of magnetic globules on solidification. By melting several times with
niter I finally obtained a sample that did not show visible segregation, and it must
have been close to saturation with iron. It was about 763 fine in gold and 185 fine in
silver, so that the entire base metals, including the iron, were only about 52 fine.

It having been supposed that much of the difficulty with cyanide gold bars was due
to the zinc left in the slimes and going into the bars, a sample was prepared which
was nearly 590 fine in gold, about 245 fine in silver, slightly over 130 fine in zinc, and
containing a little copper and very little lead.
This sample was assayed fifty times in 8 laboratories, with the following results:

DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .

A simple inspection of these results shows very clearly that zinc alone does not
materially militate against agreement in the assay work itself, and if it is the cause
of the trouble with cyanide bars it must be owing to its causing segregation, and thus
preventing the proper sampling of the bars b y chipping or boring. Other elements
may also b e active in producing segregation in such bars, either b y themselves or
through combinations with the zinc or other metals present. A low-grade and very base
bar along this line was prepared to run about 100 fine in zinc, 200 fine in copper, and
50 fine in lead. I t was about 268 fine in gold and 370 fine in silver. This bar was very
hard, and it was impossible to prepare identical samples for the various laboratories.
I t was simoly cut into pieces and a piece sent to each institution.
This sample was assayed forty-four times in 8 laboratories, and while the difference
between the highest and the lowest result is only 1.7 fine, yet the results are scattered
all along through the range, and there is only a slight concentration of the results about
one point. This is, of course, due in part to the fact that the samples assayed were
not identical.

I t has long been known in a practical way that the presence of arsenic in a gold
bullion prevents any agreement in the assays. Fortunately, however, the presence of
arsenic very plainly reveals itself in the melting of the bullion, and when found the
melter pro(;eeds to refine the bullion in the pot, and ultimately removes i t very completely before the bullion can be accepted.
Three test samples containing arsenic were prepared, and they yielded most astonishing and interesting results. The first sample was approximately 785 fine in gold,
107.5 fine in silver, 100 fine in copper, and 7.5 fine in arsenic. This is only a small
proportion of arsenic, and yet it completely prevented any agreement whatever in the
assay results. This sample was assayed sixty-five times in 10 laboratories. The
lowest result obtained was 779.7 fine in gold, and the highest 792.4, with an extreme
difference of 12.7 in the fineness. Moreover, there is the utmost divergence in the
results as well as no agreement whatever; 30 results were obtained only a single
time each, 11 only twice each, 3 only three times each, and only a single result was
obtained four times. I n only three instances did one laboratory obtain the same
result twice.
A sample approximately 675 fine in gold, 200 fine in silver, 100 fine in zinc, 24 fine
in lead and copper, and only 1 fine in arsenic yielded a trifiing better set of results,
but still very widely divergent. This sample was assayed sixty-two times in 10
laboratories. The lowest result obtained was 671.4 fine in gold, and the highest 681.4,
showing an extreme difference of 10 in the fineness; 31 results were obtained a single
time only, 10 only twice each, 2 only three times each, and only a single result was
obtained five times. I n three instances one laboratory obtained the same result twice,
and in one case a laboratory obtained the same result three times.
I t would appear, however, that the influence of arsenic upon the assaying of highgrade bullion containing only trifling amounts of base metals is far less injurious.
While the results on a sample running approximately 865 fine in gold, 130 fine in
silver, 1 fine in arsenic, and only 4 fine in other base metals can not be considered
satisfactory, yet they are very much better than those yielded by the other two arsenical bullions. This ample was assayed fifty-three times in 9 laboratories, with the
following results:

As in so many other directions, antimony behaves similarly to arsenic in assaying
gold bullion," but its influence is not so pronounced. A sample of bullion approximately 723 fine in gold, 245 fine in silver, 1 fine in antimony, and 31 fine in mixed
base metals, copper, lead, zinc, was assayed forty-six times in nine laboratories. The
lowest assay obtained was 721.3, and the highest 725.1, showing a range of 3.8 in the~
fineness. However, 24 of the results, or just over a half, ranged from" 722.8 to 723.9
fine, and outside this range only two results were obtained more than a single time.

The actual average of this sample is 899.879 fine in gold.
With these results as a basis, the investigation of the subject is being continued with
the hope of ascertaining the causes of the variations shown and improving the agreement in the'results attained. It is, for instance, well known that gold cornets are not
pure gold. They always carry some silver, and I have never failed to find copper in
them when tested for with great care. On several occasions I have found lead present
on testing the silver nitrate solution from parting a large number of cornets at one time
in a platinum basket. The amounts of these base metals present in the cornets are,
of course, quite small, and their influence is corrected by the proof assay, in the same
way that it corrects for the silver l^ft in the cornets. I am, however, carrying on a
series of quantitative determinations of base metals present in gold cornets, the results
of which I hope to publish at some future date. Again, it is assumed that the proof
furnishes a very close correction for the assays, but it is evident that the proofs themselves must be subject to variations and it is known that cupels containing proofs and
touching each other in the furnance may show appreciably different results. A very
large collection of proof figures is being made for the purpose of studying this question.
Also the question of absorption of the precious metals by the cupel is most important
and is being investigated.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSAY COMMISSION, 1909.

Boston, Mass.; Hon. William D. Bynum, Muskogee, Okla.; Mr. Truxton Beale, Bakersfield, Cal. (Dr. H. G. Torrey, ex officio member.)
The commission met at the mint at Philadelphia on February 10,
1909, and Hon. Ira W. Wood was elected chairman.
The following committees were appointed by the chairman with
the approval of the commission:
Committee on counting.-—Mr. Tiffany, chairman; Messrs. Manning,

The committee on counting reported that the packages containing
the pieces reserved by the several mints for the trial of coins were
delivered to them, and that they were compared with the transcripts
kept by the Director of the Mint and found to be correct. After
verification the coins were delivered to the committees on weighing
and assaying.
The coins reserved by the mints for the purposes of the assay commission were as follows:
Gold coins from.the mint at Philadelphia, 6,397, of the value of
$99,205.
Silver coins from the mint at Philadelphia, 8,102, of the value of
$1,400.05.
Gold coins from the mint at San Francisco, 164, of the value of

The committee also tested the quartation silver and found it free
from gold, and the lead used in the assay of gold bullion and found
it free from gold and silver. The acid used in the humid assay of
silver was found to be free from silver and also from chlorine.
The balances used were tested and found to be correct.
The committee reported the assays as entirely trustworthy, and
that none of the coins tested differed from the standard of fineness
by a greater degree than the amount allowed by law.
The committee on weighing respectfully reported examining sample coins selected at random from those reserved by the several mints.
The weighing was made on a balance by Henry Troemner, of Philadelphia. The weights employed were furnished under seal by theDirector of the Bureau of Standards, and were accompanied by a
certificate, stating their variations in mass from the standards fixed
by law. The balance was carefully tested and,found to be sufficiently
accurate without making corrections.
The secondary troy pound of the mint was compared with the
standard pound and found to be correct within 1 part in 350,000.
Three separate pounds built up of working weights of the mint were
found to be correct within 1 part in 50,000.
The details of the weighings indicated that the deviations from the
statutory standard weights of the coins examined were all within the
legal tolerance, consequently the committee on weighing pronounced
the examination of the weights of the cioinage of the several mints
during the year 1908 to be satisfactory.
The committee on resolutions submitted the following:
Recognizing that the national coin collection in the mint at Philadelphia is a serious educational institution, and that it is one deserving
of greater financial aid that it may be made more complete and
instructive, and that it is now inconsiderable, except in the coinage
of the United States, when compared with coin collections of many
countries, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the members of the Annual Assay Commission of
1909 that the mint coin collection should be made as complete as possible; and that
since there are over 100,000 visitors to the mint annually, many of whom, we believe,
a By the act of June 23, 1906, the standard fineness of the Philippine peso was
reduced to 800.0 and the subsidiary coins to 750.0 fine.

would purchase a mint souvenir in the form of an artistic medal if they knew that
the profits from the sale of such medal would be devoted to the improvement of the
coin collection, it is
Recommended that a medal, of a different design each year, be made and offered
for sale, to visitors, and that the profits derived from the sale of such medal be devoted
to the improvement of the national coin collection.
We further believe that the striking of this medal should be made close to public
view, thus demonstrating the process of coining better than the distant view the
visitors now have of the coining operations; and that medallic art effects not practical
in our coinage could be produced in a medal.
Inasmuch as medals and medalettes have been sold to visitors at the mint for many
years, the profits from which have not served a public purpose, it is believed that
these resolutions can be made operative without congressional action. And be it
further
Resolved, That the thanks of the members of the Assay Commission of 1909 be
extended to the Director of the Mint, and to the superintendent, officers, and employees of the Philadelphia mint for their many courtesies during the session.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

The seigniorage, or gain, on recoinage of minor coin was $3,324.34,
as against a loss of $10,666.69, showing^ a net loss of $7,342.35.
The seigniorage on the coinage of nickel and bronze coins coined
from purchased metal was $830,877.04, which, less a net loss of
$7,342.35 on the recoinage of minor coin and a wastage of the operative ofiicers in the minor coinage operations of $1,323.75, gives a net
seigniorage on minor coin of $822,210.94.
The total amount of the several types of minor coin manufactured
at this mint from 1793, when the first coinage' of copper cents was
made, until June 30, 1909, aggregated $53,819,274.52. There have
been melted for recoinage $5,003,859.44, leaving outstanding June 30,
1909, $48,815,415.08, the product of this mint.

MINT OF THE UNITED STATES AT SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909, one change was made
among the operative officers of this mint, Mr. E. R. Leach becoming
melter and refiner, on August 4, 1908, succeeding Mr. C. M. Gorham,
who resigned. Mr. Gorham had given many years of faithful services
to the Government, having been assistant coiner, and coiner, in this
mint for over thirteen years, and melter and refiner for nearly seven
years.
The manufacture of United States minor coin was instituted at this
mint during the year, and on November 27,1908, the first 1-cent pieces
ever made at the San Francisco mint were delivered by the coiner to
the superintendent. The 1-cent bronze pieces struck during the year
amounted to $14,240.

In addition to the fine gold and silver produced, 90,459 troy ounces
of electrolytic copper were recovered from the crude bullion and
scrap copper used in the refinery operations. As this copper can be
used for alloy for gold and silver coin, and as an arrangement has
been made whereby the refinery will get credit for it, the production
of electrolytic copper will be a source of considerable income for. the
refinery.
During the year we discarded the horizontal system of silver
refining for the vertical, which we find very much cheaper and more

The number of pieces coined aggregated 29,051,826. The coinage
of gold for fifty continuous working days amounted to $51,382,500.
The percentage of coin produced from the amount operated upon
waSf: Gold, 58.47; silver, 57.17; copper, 56.15.
From the operation on gold there was an excess of 2.367 ounces
and from the operations-on silver a wastage of 9,391.13 ounces, or
58.55 per cent of the legal allowance.
A few months' trial of the new water-cooled rolling mill, which
was installed during the year, has demonstrated t h a t this roll is
a great improvement OVCT the old machines in lessening the vibration and noise, formerly so objectionable, and iii increasing the
accuracy of the work. The continuous flow of water keeps the roll
cool and at an even temperature, thus preventing the expansion t h a t
was so hard to guard against under the old methods.
The bronze coins manufactured^at this mint during the year were
made on the silver presses. Two new presses for bronze coining are
now being installed to handle this class of work.

those of the previous year. The value of the gold deposited was
$2,552,309.07,. and t h a t of silver $50,380.44. Nearly aU of this
product originated in Nevada. California contributed but 3,820.253
ounces of gold and 1,391.43 ounces of silver, while 30.683 ounces of
gold and 1.77 ounces of silver were received from Alaska. The
greater part of the Nevada product originated in the Goldfield
district.
Deposits of bullion to the number of 1,052 were received during the
year. This was an increase in number of 182 over the previous year.
Seventy-one assays of ore were made, embracing 17 for the Department of Agriculture and 3 for the General Land Office.

Fifty-two mass melts were made from 704 bars, weighing 28,901.56
ounces, valued at $443,631.93.
Cost of handling bullion was $0.1257 per ounce.
In handling the deposits received at tJiis institution duruig the
fiscal year the following losses and gains were sustained:
1. A loss of $7.72 was incurred in the general department.
2. A loss of $35.85 in shipments to the mint arose from a difference
in the weight at which the bullion was shipped by this institution and
the weight at which it was received by the mint at Philadelphia.
3. A gain of $4.39 was made in mass melts.
4. In the assaying department a gain of $7.13 was made and is
accounted for by taking advantage of the swing of the needle in
weighing the clips from 894 deposits.
5. During the above-mentioned period there were recovered from
sweeps 27.880 standard ounces of gold, and 14 standard ounces of
silver, coinage value of which was $534.98.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

There were 1,141 bars, each below 300 ounces, massed into 58
larger bars, the total weight of which was 54,517.57 ounces. The
gain in weight from massing these bars was 2.41 ounces, showing an
average gain of 0.0021 of an ounce on each deposit.
Average cost of handling bullion melted and assayed was $0.0397
per ounce.
A net loss of $381.30 resulted from the operations of the year, the
source of same being as follows:
1. A loss of $176.32 in the melting department. This loss is due
to the fact that depositors are allowed full weight for the granules
or pannings from each deposit, whereas these granules almost invariably run lower in fineness than the bar and also contain more or
less sla^.
2. A loss of $116.55 in the assay department, the greater part of
which undoubtedly arises from the clipping of bars.
3. A gain of $218.13 in the general department, this gain being
the result of two years' accumulation of grains swept from trucks
and from the packing-room floor. This includes only bulhon for
which the depositor has been paid, consequently should be shown
as a gain in the general department. The truck sweepings accruing
from bars which have not been weighed after melting are not included
in this amount.
4. A gain of $1.56 in mass melts. The gain from the swing of the
needle in massing the 1,141 bars netted a gain of about $43, but loss
in assay practically canceled this gain.
5. A loss of $308.12 in shipments to the mint, due entirely to
difference in assays.'
The loss in shipments to the mint was made up from the gains in
charges. The net loss in operations within the office, amounting to
$73.18, was made up from bullion recovered from melting-room slag.
The deposit melting-room grains for the year amounted to $664.33,
but none of this amount was taken to reimburse losses.
The slag from the melting room foT years 1908 and 1909 was
reduced in a small smelting furnace erected for that purpose, but
the resulting bullion was so largely iron t h a t satisfactory assays
could not be obtained. I t will be necessary to refine this metal with
air, but the work has been delayed, owing to lack of proper tubing to
insert in the molten metal. Electro-quartz tubing proved to be unsatisfactory with this very base bullion. I n two hours' refining
about 2 feet of the tubing was eaten away by the oxides and 50
ounces of iron were removed. Three hundred ounces of metal were
treated. For use in treating good grade bullion the electro-quartz
tubing should give excellent satisfaction. The work of refining this
bullion will be continued as soon as fire-clay tubes can be delivered.
Of the 2,061 deposits received, the entire number were deposits
of gold bullion, 2,035 being crude and 26 refined. Only one of the
refined bars was of domestic production, the other 25 coming from
refineries of British Columbia.
The number of employees at the end of the fiscal year was 30 (all
male), but for seven months of the year only 25 were employed.

As in previous reports, attention is again called to housing this
office in a new building. Other assay offices doing but a fraction of
the annual business are comfortably located in buildings of their
own, and the prospect of a rapid increase in population and values
of real estate in this city wouM seem to point to this as an opportune
time to secure a location and erect a building.

The average cost of handling bullion melted and assayed was
$0.31197.
A net gain of $44.01 resulted from the operations of the year,
the source being as follows:
1. Loss of $18.58 in the assaying department, due to the clipping
of bars, and also to the fact that depositors are allowed full weight
for the granules, while the granules are lower in fineniess than the
bar. The granules are delivered to the assayer and put into his
chips bar.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS, WASTAGE, AND LOSS, FISCAL YEAR 1 9 0 9 .

'

The institutions of the mint service consist of the coinage mints
at Philadelphia,. San Francisco, New Orleans, and Denver; the mint
at Carson, which at present is conducted as an assay office; the assay
office at New York, which, like each of the coinage mints, operates
a refinery; and the minor assay offices at Boise, Helena, Charlotte,
St. Louis, Deadwood, Seattle, and Salt Lake City. Bullion is received
at the assay offices on the same terms as at the mints, except that an
additional charge of one-eighth of 1 per cent is made at the former.
Bullion purchased at the assay offices becomes the property of the
Government and is shipped to the mints at the expense of the Government.
OPERATIONS.

The quantity of precious metals operated upon in the different
departments of the mints and assay office at New York during the
fiscal year 1909 aggregated 27,292,233 standard ounces of gold and
74,028,139 standard ounces of silver.
The figures in the table following are the actual figures as obtained
at the settlement of the accounts of the officers in charge. The
figures in the article showing the operations of each mint or assay
pffice are for the entire fiscal year up to June 30.

W O R L D S COINAGE.

In the appendix will be found a table, revised from the latest information received, exhibiting the coinages of the various countries of
the world during the calendar years 1906, 1907, and 1908. THe following is a summary of the same:

. The above figures represent, as nearly as this bureau has been able
to ascertain, the total value of the gold and silver coinages executed
in the world during the years given.
I t must be borne in mind, however, that the total of these coinages
does not correctly represent the amount of liew gold and new silver
made into coins during the year, for the reason that the coinages as
reported include the value of domestic and foreign coins melted for
recoinage, as well as old material, plate, etc., used in coinage.
I n the circular letter of inquiry prepared at this bureau and sent to
foreign governments through the Department of State, asking for
information on these subjects, it was especially requested that each
country report the amount of such recoinages. This has been done
in many instances, but not in all.
