REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The foregoing estimates are submitted in pursuance of law. As I
stated in my report of last year, I regret the necessity of submitting
them, for they are for the most part problematical. I have no means
of knowing what will be the amount of the appropriations at the coming session, what will be the eflfect of the proposed revision of the
tariflp upon the revenue derived from imports, nor what will be the
ultimate eflfect upon internal-revenue collections of certain moral
and economic movements which seriously aflfect these sources of revenue. I t is little more than guesswork, therefore, to give estimates of
this kind. They are submitted in this report with these explicit
qualifications.
REPORTS OF BUREAUS AND OFFICES.
For a more detailed account of the operations of the Department for
the year, attention is respectfully invited to the reports of the heads
of the several bureaus and offices. Certain of the recommendations
made in these reports will be inade the subject of later communications to the Congress.
OPERATIONS O F T H E TREASURY.
The receipts and disbursements of the Government for the fiscal
year 1908 show a reversal of condition, as compared with the fiscal
year 1907: For the fiscal year 1907 the receipts were $84,236,586.30
in excess of the disbursements; for the fiscal year 1908 the disbursements were $58,070,201.15 in excess of the receipts, due to business
depression and increased appropriations.
Fortunately, the available cash balance at the beginning of the
fiscal year was $272,061,445.47.
The Treasury was called upon, in the latter part of October, 1907,
to render assistance in the financial panic which, starting in New
York City, gradually extended over the entire country. The measures taken to relieve the situation have been set forth elsewhere, particularly in the Response of the Secretary of the Treasury to Senate
Resolution No. 33, of December 12, 1907.
Through these operations the amount of public deposits with
banks reached $236,548,321.08.November 30, 1907, and on December
27, 1907, the maximum of $259,994,271.77 was attained, after which
it was decreased to $256,920,154.70 by the close of the month. Further
withdrawals were soon after begun and continued from time to time
until on November 16,1908, the amount stood at $118,379,536.30.
I n the month of January, 1908, there was a freer circulation of
money than had prevailed for the previous three months. Large
amounts were returned to the money centers, and some of the depositaries therein voluntarily returned to the Treasury a part of their
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

holdings of public deposits, in amount $3,978,217. I n the latter part
of January a call was made on the depositary banks of New York
City for $8,850,000, to be paid in six equal installments, from and
after January 23. The balance in the banks to the credit of the
general fund at the end of January was $226,241,418.85.
During the month of February depositary banks voluntarily returned to the Treasury $4,770,000 of public deposits, and February
29 the balance with the banks to the credit of the general fund was
$219,543,719.13. On June 30 it was reduced to $149,004,924.29.
Transactions in the public debt show an increase of interest-bearing
debt of $2,669,710 for the fiscal year. However, if the issue of Panama
Canal bonds were excluded, a net decrease in the interest-bearing debt
would be shown of $21,962,270. The noninterest-bearing debt was
increased $27,842,500, as follows:
Matured loans, not yet presented
National-bank notes, redemption account
$3,043, 200
24,800,480
Less fractional currency redeemed

The aggregate of trust funds, consisting of gold coin and standard
silver dollars, held for the redemption of certificates and notes for
which they are respectively pledged, increased $139,106,000 during
the year. The increase in gold coin was $141,539,000, while standard
silver dollars decreased $2,433,000.
The monetary stock increased $263,203,013 during the fiscal year.
The growth in gold was $151,744,391; in silver, $17,919,395; and in
national-bank notes, $94,545,227, while there was a decrease of
$1,006,000 in Treasury notes of 1890. A t the close of the fiscal year
1908 the money in circulation amounted to $3,038,015,488, or a per
capita of $34.72. The percentage of gold to total circulation was
45.95.
The issue of United States paper currency during the fiscal year
numbered 188,999,912 pieces, of the total value of $804,326,000. The
redemptions were 172,178,577 pieces, of the value of $665,220,000.
Gold certificates outstanding increased $141,539,000, while silver
certificates decreased $1,427,000.
There was an increase of $94,545,227 in the volume of nationalbank notes during the past fiscal year. The amount presented for
redemption was $349,634,341, as against $240,314,681 for 1907. The
expenses incurred for such redemptions were $270,840.21, which has
been assessed on the banks at the rate of $0.90366 per $1,000 of notes
redeemed.
The United States bonds pledged to secure circulation amounted to
$628,172,130 June 30,1908, an increase of $69,807,470 during the fiscal

year. The United States bonds and other obligations on the same
date held to secure public deposits in national banks aggregated
$180,509,419.25, a decrease of $12,734,633.63 for the year.
The moneys presented for redemption and exchange at the Treasury and subtreasury offices during the fiscal year 1908 amounted to
$1,337,826,564, as against $1,026,876,500 in 1907.
During the last half of the fiscal year the Treasury has been confronted with an extraordinary increase in the United States paper
currency and national-bank notes presented for redemption.
There was redeemed in Becember, 1907, of United States paper
currency, $30,487,000; in January, 1908, $48,327,000 was redeemed,
an increase of over 58 per cent; in February, $50,500,000; March,
$52,753,000; April, $55,064,000; May, $70,476,000; and June,
$69,569,000. The increase for the year was 14.1 per cent.
The same condition was experienced with regard to national-bank
notes. Of these there was redeemed in December $11,736,000; in
January, $43,425,863; February, $29,627,000; March, $38,949,000;
April, $42,491,000; May, $43,212,000; and June, $45,121,000. The
increase of national-bank notes: redeemed for the fiscal year was 45.4
per cent.
On June 30, 1908, owing to an entirely inadequate force of employees in the office of the Treasurer, there had accumulated for
redemption purposes, of United States paper currency, $1,465,238;
of national-bank notes, $62,277,880, as compared with $12,377,478' at
the close of the previous fiscal year, an increase over normal of 403.1
per cent. The amount of bank notes has, however, been materially
reduced. On November 16, 1908, the amount was $15,851,235, a reduction of $46,426,645.
The Treasury holding of gold at the close of the fiscal year 1907
was $904,691,730.14. On June 30, 1908, it amounted to $1,004,888,682.18, an increase of $100,196,952.04.
The redemptions from the reserve fund during the last fiscal year

$41,505, a total of $21,224,332.
On June 29, 1907, the number of standard silver dollars in circulation was 81,710,444. During the year $31,466,911 were distributed

rate for transportation was $2.45 per $1,000.
The available cash balance in the general fund at the close of the
fiscal year 1908 was $245,171,808.46, a decrease of $26,889,637.01.

The bonds were sold at an average price of 102.99 and the 3 per'^cent
certificates were issued at par. •

The issue of $15,436,500 one-year 3 per cent certificates of indebtedness, dated November 20, 1907, and lodged with the Treasurer of the
United States to secure circulation of the national banks purchasing
them, matured and was called for redemption with interest to cease
November 20,1908. One million five hundred thousand dollars of the
certificates had already been redeemed at the request of the owners
and interest was paid thereon to the respective dates of redemption.
The amount outstanding, therefore, November 9, 1908, was $13,936,500, of which $620,000 were replaced by the substitution of other
United States bonds for the purpose of maintaining the circulation
outstanding, and the proceeds of the remainder, $13,316,500, have been
applied to the retirement of the circulation based thereon.
The amount of the interest-bearing debt outstanding October 31,
1908, was $897,253,990, of which the Treasurer of the United States
held as security for circulating notes and public deposits bonds of the
face value of $710,899,950. Deducting the $13,936,500 of 3 per cent
certificates of indebtedness which were redeemed in November, the
amount of interest-bearing debt was reduced to $883,317,490,

The monetary operations of the Government have been conducted
through the Treasurer of the United States, 9 subtreasury officers,
the ^treasury of the Philippine Islands, the American Colonial Bank
of Porto Eico, the Banco de la Habana, the National Bank of Cuba,
and 1,454 national bank depositaries.
The amount of public moneys held by the bank depositaries on
June 30,1908, including funds to the credit of the Treasurer's general
account and United States disbursing officers, was $160,356,999.70,
a decrease since June 30, 1907, of $18,384,438.82. On June 30,
1908, there were 425 regular and 1,009 temporary depositaries;
195 were designated during the fiscal year and 20 discontinued. On
November 2, 1908, the number of depositaries w^as 1,429 and the
amount of public moneys held by them was $131,693,492.55.
SUMMARY OE FINANCIAL OPERATIONS OF THE TREASURY FROM JULY 1,
1 9 0 1 , TO JULY 1, 1 9 0 8 .
On the 1st of July, 1901, the available cash balance in the Treasury
was $178,406,798.13. The receipts of the fiscal year 1901 showed a
surplus over disbursements of $77,717,984.38. There were at that time
no obligations of the United States that were, by their terms, immediately redeemable. The Government was therefore engaged in
the purchase of United States bonds for the sinking fund, and during
the ensuing fiscal year 1902 the purchases amounted to $56,071,730^
and the disbursement on account thereof was $70,410,941,33.
The receipts of the fiscal year 1902 amounted to over $684,000,000
and the disbursements to about $593,000,000. There was a resulting
surplus of more than $91,000,000 and the available cash balance
July 1,1902, was $212,187,361.16. During this fiscal year there was a

large increase in the volume of money in circulation, the total amount
July 1, 1901, being $2,175,307,962, with a per capita of $27.98, and on
J u l y . l , 1902, $2,249,390,551, with a per capita of $28.43. The increase in circulation, therefore, amounted to $74,082,589 and in the
per capita $0.45. During this period the increase was largely in the
denominations of $20 and under, and, inclusive of gold coin, these
denominations constituted more than 80 per cent of the outstanding
circulation.
During the fiscal year 1903 the total receipts of the Government
were $694,621,117,64. The disbursements for the same period were
$640,323,450.28. There was, therefore, a surplus for the year of
$54,297,667.36, Interest-bearing bonds purchased during the period
were only $16,529,600, there being an inadequate supply of bonds in
the market and the prices being regarded as excessive.
During the fiscal year 1903 the Department resumed refunding
under authority of the act of March 14,1900. A circular inviting the
surrender of 3 per cent bonds of 1908 and 4 per cent bonds of 1907
for exchange into 2 per cent consols of 1930 was published March 26,
1903. The refunding proceeded from that date until July 31, when
it was discontinued. During that time $16,042,700 3 per cent bonds
and $65,099,900 4 per cent bonds were retired and their place taken
by 2 per cent consols of 1930. The net profit of this proceeding was
$2,768,069.06.
The volume of money in circulation during the fiscal year .1903
was again largely increased, the total July 1, 1902, being $2,249,390,551 with a per capita of $28.43, and the total July 1, 1903, $2,367,692,169 with a per capita of $29,42, showing an increase in circulation
of $118,301,618 and in the per capita of $0.99.
The receipts for the fiscal year 1904 were $684,214,373,74 and the
disbursements were $725,984,945.65. There was, therefore, a deficit
for the year of $41,770,571.91. During this year the residue of the
5 per cent loan of 1904 fell due and was called for redemption, the
amount being $18,607,200. There was further refunding during the
fiscal year of 3 per cent bonds of 1908-1918 and 4 per cent bonds of
1907, the total being $15,826,600, with a net profit of $511,363.21.
The volume of money in circulation continued to increase, the amount
in circulation July 1, 1903, being $2,367,692,169 with a per capita of
$29.42, and the amount July 1, 1904, being $2,519,142,860 with a per
capita of $30.77, making an increase in circulation of $151,450,691
and in the per capita of $1,35.
The receipts for the fiscal year 1905 were $697,101,269.9^5 and the
disbursements were $720,105,498.55. The deficit was $23,004,228,60.
No United States bonds were purchased or called for redemption during this period, nor was there a resumption of refunding operations.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The increase in the volume of circulation outstanding was less marked
than in the preceding three fiscal years, the amount outstanding July
1, 1904, being $2,519,142',860, with a per capita of $30.77, and the
amount outstanding July 1, 1905, being $2,587,882,653, with a per
capita of $31.08, an increase of $68,739,793 in circulation and $0.31 in
the per capita.
The receipts of the Government in the fiscal year 1906 were
$762,386,904.62. The disbursements were $736,717,582,01. The surplus was therefore $25,669,322.61. No bonds were purchased during
this fiscal year, but a renewal of refunding operations began October
2, 1905, and terminated November 29. .The amount of 2 per
cent consols of 1930 issued in exchange for 3 per cent bonds of 19081918 and 4 per cent bonds of 1907 was $53,032,400. There was a very
large increase in the volume of circulation during this fiscal year, the
amount outstanding July 1, 1905, being $2,587,882,653, with a per
capita of $31.08, and the amount July 1, 1906, being $2,736,646,628,
with a per capita of $32,32, making an increase in circulation of
$148,763,975 and in the per capita of $1,24.
The receipts for the fiscal year 1907 were $846,725,339,62 and the
disbursements were $762,488,753.32, showing a surplus of $84,236,586,30.
During this fiscal year there were purchased and redeemed bonds of
the funded loan of 1907, due July 1, 1907, amounting to $30,326,300,
A further amount of $50,307,800 4 per cent bonds of 1907 was refunded into 2 per cent consols of 1930, During this fiscal year there
was an issue of $30,000,000 of 2 per cent Panama Canal bonds. The
act of June 28, 1902, contained provision for the issue of these bonds
to aid in the construction of the Panama Canal, the total amount
authorized being $130,000,000. The act, however, contained no special
provision for the acceptance of the Panama Canal bonds by the
Government as a basis for the issue of circulating notes of national
banks. They were, therefore, only receivable for that purpose upon
the same terms as other United States bonds bearing higher rates of
interest-^that is, circulation based thereon would be subject to a tax
of 1 per cent per annum.
As already stated, the receipts for 1908 were $792,604,781,94, and
the disbursements $850,674,983,09, leaving a deficit of $58,070,201,15.
As the 2 per cent consols of 1930 were receivable for the same purpose with a tax of only one-half of 1 per cent per annum, the Panama
Canal bonds were at an obvious disadvantage as compared with the
2 per cent consols of 1930, and an issue of the Panama Canal bonds
was therefore impracticable until this disadvantage could be removed by law. Accordingly, provision was made in the act of December 21, 1905, by which the Panama Canal bonds were receivable
as a basis for circulation upon the same terms as the 2 per cent
consols of 1930. Up to this time there had been no apparent necessity

for the sale of the Panama Canal bonds, the cost of constructing the
canal having been paid out of moneys appropriated by the act of
June 28,1902, but in the summer of 1906 the disbursements on account
of the canal were so heavy that it was deemed advisable to sell
$30,000,000 of the bonds authorized for that purpose. Accordingly,
proposals were invited on the 2d of July, 1906, and the bids were
opened July 20 of that year. The aggregate of the bids was
$446,371,300, at prices from par up to 125. The average price
offered by the successful bidders was $104,036-4-; and the premium
received for the bonds was $1,210,817.95,
The volume of circulation outstanding July 1, 1906, was $2,736,646,628, and the per capita $32.32, and on July 1, 1907, the amount
of circulation was $2,772,956,455, and the per capita $32,22, being an
increase in circulation of $36,309,827 and a decrease in the per capita
of $0.10.
The foregoing is a recital of the ordinary financial operations of
the Department from July 1, 1901, to July 1, 1908. There were,
however, certain transactions with which the depositary banks were
connected which require notice. For example: During the summer
of 1902 the surplus bank reserves throughout the country were relatively very low. To prepare for the emergency which seemed
approaching, the Secretary of the Treasury caused to be printed
large quantities of national-bank circulation, and, in September of
that year, offered to accept satisfactory security other than Government bonds for deposits of public money then held by the banks, on
condition that the released bonds should be immediately made the
basis for circulation.
As before stated, the Secretary also purchased bonds for the sinking fund and increased deposits in national banks to such an extent
that more than $57,000,000 was restored to the channels of trade, and
national-bank circulation was stimulated to the extent of $18,000,000.
Similar assistance was rendered to business in the fall of 1903, the
aggregate amount being $27,000,000.
I n the spring of 1904 payments were made on account of the purchase of the Panama Canal, amounting to $50,000,000, $10,000,000 of
which was paid to the Government of Panama and $40,000,000 to
the Panama Canal Company for the right of way. The entire
amount was paid without disturbing the money market. The payment was made by the Government and transferred to France through
the medium of the clearing house and dealers in foreign exchange.
Only a few thousand dollars actually changed hands, and not a dollar
of gold was shipped from this country. The Republic of Panama
invested most of the purchase price of her cession in the United
States, and thus shipments of money to that country were avoided.
20
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
In 1906 the banks of the country. West as well as East, found themselves in the spring with surplus reserves exhausted. .The foreign
exchange market showed a marked decline in the value of sterling
exchange sufficient to have insured the importation of gold had the
banks been in position to obtain it. The Treasury Department
offered to make deposits in national banks equal in amount to any
actual engagements of gold for importation, the deposits to be
promptly returned when the gold actually arrived. I n this way
approximately $507000,000 in gold was brought from abroad. This
was accomplished without any expense to the Government, but with
great benefit to the business interests of the country.
In the summer of 1906, anticipating heavy demands of money in
the fall to move the harvest of that year, which promised to be very
great, the Secretary of the Treasury withdrew from the channels of
trade $60,000,000. This was accumulated in part from excessive
revenues and in part by deliberate withdrawals of public deposits
from the national banks. Twenty-six million dollars of this amount,
together with about $50,000,000 of gold which was brought from
abroad with the aid of the Department, was deposited in the national
banks in the fall, and a further amount of $18,000,000 was added to
the supply of money through the stimulation of national-bank circulation.
Owing to the important bearing upon the financial situation of
the treatment of the 4 per cent loan of 1907, a brief account thereof
seems advisable:
I n the spring of 1907 the disposal of the 4 per cent loan of 1907,
which would become redeemable July 1, 1907, was an important subject for consideration. The amount of these bonds outstanding
March 1, 1907, was $111,696,300. There was an available cash balance in the Treasury of $251,231,426.10, of which $140,013,087.81
consisted of deposits in national-bank depositaries. As there was
considerable demand for money in all sections of the country, it was
determined at once to increase the disbursements from the Treasury
by the redemption, with interest to maturity, of $25,000,000 of the
4 per cent bonds. The amount actually received was $25,088,750,
leaving more than $86,000,000 to be provided for.
The Department had the option of three methods of disposing of
the bonds. First, through their redemption; second, through continuance at a lower rate of interest, at the pleasure of the United
States; third, through refunding under authority of the act of March
14, 1900, into 2 per cent consols of 1930. The redemption of the
loan would take from the Treasury the $86,000,000 above mentioned,
a loss which seemed to be inadvisable in view of the uncertainty then
existing as to future financial conditions. Its continuance at a lower
rate of interest was thought to be uncertain as to its operation and

effect. So it was decided to refund a part of the loan, leaving outstanding an amount which would easily be redeemed in July. On
April 2 there was published a circular inviting the surrender of
$50,000,000 of the bonds for refunding^ Under this circular the Department received, between April 2 and May 31, $50,307,800 of bonds,
and there remained outstanding for redemption $36,121,450. These
bonds were called, and matured and ceased to bear interest July
2, 1907,
The monetary situation, which had been unsettled for several
months and which was gradually becoming more threatening, caused
the Secretary to take steps in August designed to facilitate the movement of the crops in the various sections of the country. Beginning
on August 28 and continuing each week until October 14, weekly
deposits were allotted to various banks to a total amount of $28,000,000. These deposits were allotted in each of the 46 States, in
the Territories, and in the District of Columbia. Every effort was
made so to distribute this fund that it would meet actual needs in
sections where business activity was at the maximum and currency
was most urgently required.
I n October the situation was so serious in New York City that
several national banks appealed to the clearing house for the issue of
clearing-house certificates. This application was quickly followed
by the suspension of one of the largest trust companies after the payment of about $8,000,000 in cash to depositors. Runs on other large
trust companies were instituted, and deposits in many other institutions were seriously reduced. As the crisis approached, the Department adopted the strongest measures at its command to give material
assistance. Within four days there was transferred from the Treasury to the banks the sum of $35,000,000. These deposits and other
Treasury operations in connection with the associated efforts of
prominent financiers, who aided, first, by giving immediate relief to
certain embarrassed institutions, and, afterwards, by providing for
imports of gold, operated at a time to prevent a dangerous panic.
By the middle of „November the available working balance in the
Treasury had been reduced to approximately $5,000,000. I t was
apparent that no further relief could be given by use of the funds
in the Treasury, and as the national banks were exerting themselves
to increase circulation, being hampered, however, by the scarcity of
bonds and> the rapid advance in their price, it was determined to
receive applications for subscriptions for $50,000,000 in Panama''
Canal bonds, and $100,000,000 in 3 per cent certificates of indebtedness under the act of June 13, 1898.
The direct effect of these issues was to afford to the banks the means
of increasing their circulation. But, in order that the payment into
the Treasury of the proceeds of the bonds should not offset the issuing

of national-bank notes against the bonds, arrangements were made to
permit the deposit of 90 per cent of the proceeds of the Panama bonds
and 75 per cent of the proceeds of the 3 per fcent certificates in the
depositary banks. The relief following the announcement, which was
made on November 17, was so great that ultimately it was found
necessary to issue only $24,631,980 in the Panama bonds and
$15,436,500 in the certificates of indebtedness. All of these classes of
obligations, except $91,820 in bonds, were used as a basis for increasing the bank-note circulation or securing public deposits.

NATIONAL BANKS.
From the date of the passage of the national-bank act in 1863 to
July 1, 1908, charters were granted to 9,174 national banking associations, of which 456 were organized under the act of 1863, 6,174
under the act of 1864, 10 (gold banks) under the act of 1870, and
.2,534 under the act of 1900. A t the close of the last fiscal year there
were in active operation 6,827 associations, with authorized capital
stock of $930,542,775. Banks to the number of 1,878 have been closed
by the voluntary action of > their stockholders, and 469 insolvent
associations placed in the charge of receivers. Approximately, only
5 per cent of the total number of banks chartered have failed.
During the past year 400 banks with authorized capital of $24,055,000 were chartered, of which 89 were conversions from State
banks, 107 reorganization of State and private banks, ahd 204 banks
of primary organization. The loss to the system in the year in the
number of banks was 94, of which 73 were by voluntary liquidation
and 21 by failure. Of the total number of liquidations, 3 were by
expiration of charter, new associations being organized as their successors, and 27 were absorbed by other national banking associations;
30 were absorbed by or reorganized as State banks, and 13 liquidated
to discontinue business. The aggTegate capital of the banks in liquidation was $12,715,000, The capital of the 21 insolvent banks was
$5,575,000, and their liabilities to depositors at date of latest reports
immediately preceding failure were $17,438,170, Eleven banks, with
aggregate capital of $1,665,000, suspended during the year, all of
which, however., were enabled to resume business.
That the measure generally known as the " gold standard a c t " of
March 14, 1900, in which the formation of national banking associations with limited capital of $25,000 was authorized, the circulation franchise made more valuable by permitting the issue of circulation to the par value of the bonds deposited, and reducing the
tax on circulation, resulted in an extraordinary increase in the
number of banking associations, is shown by reports from the Comptroller of the Currency, in which it is stated that since the date in

question charters have been granted to 3,910 associations, with authorized capital of $231,948,300, The number of banks chartered in
this period exceeds the number of banks in existence immediately
prior thereto by 293, The number of banks organized under the act
of March 14, 1900, was 2,534, and their authorized capital stock
$66,020,500. The remaining banks organized in this period were
formed under the act of 1864, and numbered 1,376, with authorized
capital of $165,927,800, Of the total number of banks chartered since
March 14, 1900, 2,164, with-a capital of $117,400,500, were associations of primary organization; 493 with capital of $33,195,800 conversions of 'State banks, and 1,253 with capital of $81,352,000 reorganizations of State and private banks. The combined capital of
the converted and reorganized banks, $114,547,800, nearly equaled
the capital of the banks of primary organization.
From tables hereinafter submitted, it will be noted that the United
States bond-secured circulation increased from $216,374,795 on March
14,1900, to $623,250,517 on June 30,1908; that circulation, secured by
deposits of lawful money on account of liquidating and insolvent
national banks and those reducing their circulation, increased from
$38,027,935 to $75,083,400, or an increase of both classes of circulation
from $254,402,730 to $698,333,917, a total increase of $443,931,187.
Circulation secured by United States bonds reached its maximum
on January 24, 1908, when it amounted to $644,796,233,
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 J u l y
15,1908, appear in the table following:

Bonds on deposit at the end of the year as security for circulation
were in the following classes and amounts:
2 per cent consols of 1930
Panama Canal bonds
4 per cent loan of 1925
3 per cent loan of 1908-1918
3 per cent certificates of indebtedness

On the same date national banks had on deposit with the Treasury
interest-bearing obligations of the United States to the amount of
$83,703,200 as security for public deposits; in other words, of the
total interest-bearing debt of the United States, amounting to $897,503,990, the banks had on deposit with the Treasury as security for
circulation and public deposits $711,850,330, leaving available, if
obtainable, for circulation security, United States interest-bearing
bonds to the amount of $185,653,660.
In a great measure the financial conditions that existed during the
past year are reflected in the reports made to the Comptroller of
the Currency by the nationar banks. Notwithstanding the voluntary
liquidation of 73 associations ^and the failure of 21, there was a
gradual and substantial increase in the number and capital of banks
from August 22, 1907, to July 15, 1908, the net increase in number
being 280 and in paid-in capital stock $22,649,536. As a result of
the policy of the Department in permitting the substitution of State,
municipal, and other bonds, as security for public deposits, for
United States bonds, on condition that the latter were redeposited
as security for circulation, there was a material increase in United
States bond-secured circulation up to February, 1908, the amount outstanding as shown by reports on August 22, 1907, being $551,949,461,
rising to $601,805,985 on December 3, and to the maximum,
$627,641,739, on February 14, 1908. By May 14 the amount outstanding had decreased to $614,088,723, and declined further to
$613,663,963 on July 15.
Individual deposits, amounting on August 22, 1907, to $4,319,035,402, declined to $4,176,873,717 on December 3, and to $4,105,814,418
on February 14, 1908. In May, however, there was an increase to
$4,312,656,789, and on July 15 to $4,374,551,208, the greatest amount
of deposits ever held by national banking associations.
The liabilities of the banks on account of notes and bills rediscounted, bills payable and bonds borrowed, amounting approximately
to $119,100,000 on August 22, 1907, were increased on December 3 to
$267,000,000.. By February this account was reduced to $189,800,000,
and on May 14 to $116,300,000. By July 15 last these liabilities had
been reduced to $95,300,000. The indebtedness of the banks to the

Government for public deposits rose from $143,282,393 on August 22,
to $223,117,082 on December 3, 1907. This account was but slightly
reduced by February 14, but on May 14 last had declined to $170,700,222, and on July 15 to $118,576,923.
Loans arid discounts, representing about 55 per cent of the aggregate resources of the banks, which on August 22, 1907, amounted to
$4,678,583,968, declined to $4,585,337,094 on December 3, and in the
February following to $4,422,353,647. On May 14, 1908, the volume
of loans had increased to $4,528,346,875, and on July 15 to $4,615,675,531, but, as will be noted, was greater in August, 1907, than at
date of any subsequent report.
As hereinbefore indicated, the aggregate loans and discounts of
national banks declined between August 22 and December 3, 1907,
to the extent of over $93,000,000, while the banks in the city of New
York increased accommodations to their customers from $712,121,058 to $775,181,207, or, roundly, $63,000,000, but during the same
period their lawful money holdings fell from $218,700,000 to $177,000,000, a decrease of $41,700,000. In February, 1908, the loans
made by the New York City banks had declined to $746,692,658, but
their lawful money holdings increased to $258,100,000. In May the
loans reached $814,120,506, and in July, $866,957,813. In May the
cash holdings of the' New York banks reached $318,300,000, approximately $3,000,000 in excess of the amount in bank on July 15.
Lawful money—that is, specie and legal tender notes—^held by the
banks on August 22, 1907, amounted to $701,623,532, but declined to
$660^784,736 on December 3. By February 14, 1908, these holdings
had increased to $788,395,576, and on May 14 to $861,326,450. The
amount held on July 15, however, was approximately $12,000,000
less than at date of the prior report.
The deposit liabilities of the banks on August 22, 1907, amounted
to $5,256,085,097, on which reserve was held to the amount of $1,121,358,395, or 21.33 per cent. On December 3 the liabilities of this
character had decreased to $4,906,684,057, and the percentage of
reserve to 21.31 per cent. On February 14,1908, the percentage of reserve was 23.47 against liabilities aggregating $5,037,945,759, and on
May 14, 23.94 per cent on liabilities of $5,295,981,122. The percentage of reserve held on July 15 last was 23.19 on liabilities, aggregating $5,464,614,059.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions during the year, the
aggregate value of the resources of the national banks was greater
at date of every report since August 22, 1907, than on that date,
although between December 3,1907, and February 14,1908, there was
a decrease of approximately $11,000,000.

Bank examinations.
For upward of fifty years bank examinations have been made by
each examiner working independently of all other examiners. The
result has been a lack of uniform methods, not only in making the
examinations, but in deciding certain questions which the banker
would ask the examiner at the time of his visit to the bank.
Another bad feature of this independent work of each examiner
was that a man who was either a poor or an indifferent examiner at
the time of his appointment, but who had the qualifications of a good
examiner if properly instructed, went on from year to year making
but little improvement in his work, because he did not come in
contact with examiners of better natural qualifications and wider
experience.
These and other similar conditions have engaged the earnest attention of the Secretary, who, while recognizing that the corps of
nationaL-bank examiners was in the main composed of men of tried
integrity and ability, especially qualified for the diflicult service they
were called upon to render, felt the need of greater unity and harmony of action; and, acting under his general direction, the Comptroller of the Currency has been striving to bring this about. To this
end, the country has been divided by the Comptroller into eleven
examiners' districts, each to be presided over by a chairman. The
idea is to have frequent meetings of examiners, with reports of the
meetings, forwarded by the chairmen to the Comptroller's Oflice.
The chairmen of the different districts have held a meeting in Washington, and have outlined a plan to be followed in holding these meetings, so that the work will be uniform and the reports from each
district will be made up along similar lines. I n this way it is
believed that greater eflficiency in bank examinations will be attained.
Through these meetings in the different districts it is hoped to approximate the work of the less experienced examiners to that of the
more capable ones, and to encourage a full discussion of all the problems with which the examiners have to deal.
The Comptroller also summoned to Washington all the examiners
in the East, about 40 in number, and will later on hold a meeting in
the West to meet the examiners in the Middle arid F a r West.
At the meeting held in the East the examiners were strongly urged
to take more time in making their examinations; to give more attention to finding out the exact value of the assets held by the bank, in
order that their estimate of such assets might be as nearly correct as
possible; and they were advised that the board of directors should be
convened in case the condition of the bank warranted it, in order that
the directors might be fully informed. This plan is now being followed-and much good has already resulted.
30
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The receivers of national banks have also been summoned to
Washington and urged to close their trusts promptly and to keep
down expenses as low as possible. In carrying out this policy, the
expenses of many of the receiverships have already been reduced to a
considerable degree.
Appointments to the position of bank examiner are made only after
a most thorough inquiry into the qualifications of the applicant as
to his character, ability, and training, and without regard to political
considerations. I t is of vital importance to the highest usefulness
of this service that it be kept absolutely out of politics, and that the
appointment, assignment, and promotion of examiners be made
wholly on the basis of merit. I n carrying out this policy the Department believes it is insuring, as far as possible under existing law, that
the work of bank examinations, which is of a peculiarly confidential
and responsible nature, s h a l l b e conducted with thoroughness and
efficiency.
The Department has made to the Monetary Commission recommendations for certain amendments to the administrative features of
the national banking laws, which are largely the outgrowth of the
experience and observation of officials of the Comptroller's Office in
the practical operation of these laws. Among these recommendations
is one that the method of compensating national-bank examiners
should be changed from a fee to a salary or per diem and expense
basis. This and other recomniendations have been repeatedly made
by Comptrollers of the Currency, and while calling particular attention to it now I do not feel warranted, because of its presentation to
the Monetary Commission, which is considering the whole subject,
in making further reference to it at this time.

The monetary disturbance of 1907 caused the introduction in both
branches of the Congress of bills designed to obviate a repetition of the
trouble. I n the last few days of the session a bill combining the
important features of several of these measures was passed and was
approved by the President, May 30, 1908. Its text was as follows :
[PUBLIC—No: 169.]
[H. R. 21871.]
AN ACT To amend the national banking laws.
Be it enacted 'by the Senate and House of Representativ'es of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That national banking associations, each baving an unimpaired capital and a surplus of not less tban
twenty per centum, not less than ten in number, baving an aggregate capital
and surplus of at least five millions of dollars, may form voluntary associations to be designated as national currency associations. Tbe banks uniting
to form such association sball, by their presidents or vice-presidents, acting
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
31
under authority from the board of directors, make and file with the Secretary of the Treasury a certificate setting forth the names of the banks composing the association, the principal place of business of the association,
and the name of the association, which name shall be subject to the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury. Upon the filing of such certificate the
associated banks therein named shall become a body corporate, and by the
name so designated and approved may sue and be sued and exercise the powers
of a body corporate for the purposes hereinafter mentioned: Provided, That not
more than one such national currency association shall be formed in any city:
Provided further, That the several members of such national currency association shall be taken, as nearly as conveniently may be, from a territory composed
of a State or part of a State, or contiguous parts of one or more States: And
provided further, That any national bank in such city or territory, having the
qualifications herein prescribed for membership in such national currency association, shall, upon its application to and upon the approval of the Secretary of
the Treasury, be admitted to membership in a national currency association
for that city or territory, and upon such admission shall be deemed and held
a part of the body corporate, and as such entitled to all the rights and privileges and subject to all the liabilities of an original member: And provided
further, That each national currency association shall be composed exclusively
of banks not members of any other national currency association.
The dissolution, voluntary or otherwise, of any bank in such association shall
not affect the corporate existence of the association unless there shall then
remain less than the minimum number of ten banks: Provided, however, That
the reduction of the number of said banks below the minimum of ten shall not
affect the existence of the corporation with respect to the assertion of all rights
in favor of or against such association. The affairs of the association shall be
managed by a board consisting of one representative from each bank. By-laws
for the government of the association shall be made by the board, subject to the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. A president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and an executive committee of not less than five members, shall
be elected by the board. The powers of such board, except in the election* of
oflicers and making of by-laws, may be exercised through its executive committee.
The national currency association herein provided for shall have and exercise
any and all powers necessary to carry out the purposes of this section, namely,
to render available, under the direction and control of the Secretary of the
Treasury, as a basis for additional circulation any securities, including commercial paper, held by a national banking association. For the purpose of
obtaining such additional circulation, any bank belonging to any national
currency association, having circulating notes outstanding secured by the deposit
of bonds of the United States to an amount not less than forty per centum,
of its capital stock, and which has its capital unimpaired and a surplus of not
less than twenty per centum, may deposit with and transfer to the association,
in trust for the United States, for the purpose hereinafter provided, such of the
securities above mentioned as may be satisfactory to the board of the association. The ofiicers of the association may thereupon, in behalf of such bank,
make application to the Comptroller of the Currency for an issue of additional
circulating notes to an amount not exceeding seventy-five per centum of the
cash value of the securities or commercial paper so deposited. The Comptroller
of the Currency shall immediately transmit such application to the Secretary
of the Treasury with such recommendation as he thinks proper, and if, in the
judgment of the Secretary of the Treasury, business conditions in the locality
demand additional circulation, and if he be satisfied with the character and
value of the securities proposed and that a lien in favor of the United States

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
on the securities so deposited and on the assets of the banks composing the
association will be amply sufficient for the protection of the United States, he
may direct an issue of additional circulating notes to the association, on behalf
of such bank, to an amount in his discretion, not, however, exceeding seventyfive per centum of the cash value of the securities so deposited: Provided, That
upon the deposit of any of the State, cijty, town, county, or other municipal
bonds, of a character described in section three of this.act, circulating notes
may be issued to the extent of not exceeding ninety per centum of the market
value of such bonds so deposited: And provided further. That no national banking association shall be authorized in any event to issue circulating notes based
on commercial paper in excess of thirty per centum of its unimpaired capital
and surplus. The term ** commercial paper " shall be held to include only notes
representing actual commercial transactions, which when accepted by the
association shall bear the names of at least two responsible parties and^have
not exceeding four months to run.
The banks and the assets of all banks belonging to the association shall be
jointly and severally liable to the United States for the redemption of such
additional circulation; and to secure such liability the lien created by section
fifty-two hundred and thirty of the Revised Statutes shall extend to and cover
the assets of all banks belonging to the association, and to the securities
deposited by the banks with the association pursuant to the provisions of this
act; but as between the several banks composing such association each bank
shall be liable only in the proportion that its capital and surplus bears to the
aggregate capital and surplus of all such banks. The association may, at any
time, require of any of its constituent banks a deposit of additional securities
or commercial paper, or an exchange of the securities already on deposit to
secure such additional circulation; and in case of the failure of such bank to
make such deposit or exchange the association may, after ten days' notice to
the bank, sell the securities and paper already in its hands at public sale, and
deposit the proceeds with the Treasurer of the United States as a fund for the
redemption of such additional circulation. If such fund be insufficient for that
purpose the association may recover from the bank the amount of the deficiency
by suit in the circuit court of the United States, and shall have the benefit of
the lien hereinbefore provided for in favor of the United States upon the assets
of such bank. The association or the Secretary of the Treasury may permit or
require the withdrawal of any such securities or commercial paper and the
substitution of other securities or commercial paper of equal value therefor.
SEC 2. That whenever any bank belonging to a national currency association
shall fail to preserve or make good its redemption fund in the Treasury of the
United States, required by section three of the act of June twentieth, eighteen
hundred and seventy-four, chapter three hundred and forty-three, and the provisions of this act, the Treasurer of the United States shall notify such national
currency association to make good such redemption fund, and upon the failure
of such national currency association to make good such fund, the Treasurer of
the United States may, in his discretion, apply so much of the redemption fund
belonging to the other banks cbmposing such national currency association as
may be necessary for that purpose; and such national currency association may,
after five days' notice to such bank, proceed to sell at public sale the securities
deposited by such bank with the association pursuant to the provisions of section one of this act, and deposit the proceeds with the Treasurer of the United
States as a fund for the redemption of the additional circulation taken out by
such bank under this act.
SEC 3. That any national banking association which has circulating notes
outstanding, secured by the deposit of United States bonds to an amount of not

33
less than forty per centum of its capital stock, and which has a surplus of not
less than twenty per centum, may make application to the Comptroller of the
Currency for authority to issue additional circulating notes to be secured by
the deposit of bonds other than bonds of the United States. The Comptroller
of the Currency shall transmit immediately the application, with his recommendation, to the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall, if in his judgment
business conditions in the locality demand additional circulation, approve the
same, and shall determine the time of issue and fix the amount, within the
limitations herein imposed, of the additional circulating notes to be issued.
Whenever after receiving notice of such approval any such association shall
deposit with the Treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the United States such
of the bonds described in this section as shall be approved in character and
amount by the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the
• Treasury, it shall be entitled to receive, upon the order of the Comptroller of
the Currency, circulating notes in blank, registered and countersigned as provided by law, not exceeding in amount ninety per centum of the market value,
but not in excess of the par value of any bonds so deposited, such market value
to be ascertained and determined under the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury.
. The Treasurer of the United States, with the approval of the Secretary of
the Treasury, shall accept as security for the additional circulating notes provided for in this section, bonds or other interest-bearing obligations of any State
of the United States, or any legally authorized bonds issued by any city, town,
county, or other legally constituted municipality or district in the United States
which has been in existence for a period of ten years, and which for a period
of ten years previous to such deposit has not defaulted in the payment of any
part of either principal or interest of any funded debt authorized to be contracted by it, and whose net funded indebtedness does not exceed ten per centum
of the valuation of its taxable property, to be ascertained by the last preceding
valuation of property for the assessment of taxes. The Treasurer of the United
States; with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall accept, for
the purposes of this section, securities herein enumerated in such proportions
as he may from time to time determine, and he may with such approval at any
time require the deposit of additional securities, or require any association to
change the character of the securities already on deposit.
SEC 4. That the legal title of all bonds, whether coupon or registered, deposited to secure circulating notes issued in accordance with the terms of
section three of this act shall be transferred to the Treasurer of the United
States in trust for the association depositing them, under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. A receipt shall be given to the
association by the Treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the United States,
stating that such bond is held in trust for the association on whose behalf the
transfer is made, and as security for the redemption and payment of any circulating notes that have been or may be delivered to such association. Nd assignment or transfer of any such bond by the Treasurer shall be deemed valid
unless countersigned^ by the Comptroller of the Currency. The provisions of
sections fifty-one hundred and sixty-three, fifty-one hundred and sixty-four,
fifty-one hundred and sixty-five, fifty-one hundred and sixty-six,. and fifty-one
hundred and sixty-seven and sections fifty-two hundred and twenty-four to fiftytwo hundred and thirty-four, inclusive, of the Revised Statutes respecting
United States bonds deposited to secure circulating notes shall, except as herein
modified, be applicable to all bonds deposited under the terms of section three
of this act.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
SEC 5. That the additional circulating notes issued under this act shall be
used, held, and treated in the same way as circulating notes of national banking
associations heretofore issued and secured by a deposit of United States bonds,
and shall be subject to all the provisions of law affecting such notes except as
herein expressly modified: Provided, That the total amount of circulating notes
outstanding of^ any national banking "association, including notes secured by
United States bonds as now provided by law, and notes secured otherwise than
by deposit of such bonds, shall not at any time exceed the amount of its unim-.
paired capital and surplus: And provided further, That there shall not be outstanding at any time circulating notes issued under the provisions of this act
to an amount of more than five hundred millions of dollars.

to five per centum of such additional circulation at any time outstanding, such
additional five per centum to be treated, held, and used in all respects in the
same manner as the original redemption fund provided for by said section three
of the act of June twentieth, eighteen hundred and seventy-four.
SEC 7. In order that the distribution of notes to be issued under the provisions of this act shall be made as equitable as practicable between the various
sections of the country, the Secretary of the Treasury shall hot approve applications from associations in any State in excess o f t h e amount to which such
State would be entitled of the additional notes herein authorized on the basis
of the proportion which the unimpaired capital and surplus of the national
banking associations in such State bears to the total amount of unimpaired
capital and surplus of the national banking associations of the United States:
Provided, however. That in case the applications from associations in any State
shall not be equal to the amount which the associations of such State would be
entitled to under this method of distribution, the Secretary of the Treasury
may, in his discretion, to meet an emergency, assign the amount not thus
applied for to any applying association or associations in States in the same
section of the country.
SEC 8. That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to obtain
Information with reference to the value and character of the securities authorized to be accepted under the provisions of this act, and he shall from time to

Approved, May 30, 1908.
Pursuant to this bill the Department published a circular under
date of June 10, which, after quoting the act, proceeded as follows:
There are two methods of applying for additional national bank = currency
under the provisions of the above act:
1. National banks occupying contiguous territory may organize a national
currency association. There must be at least 10 national banks in each national
currency association, and the aggregate capital and surplus of such national
banks must be at least $5,000,000. No national bank may join a national currency association unless it has an unimpaired capital and a surplus of not less
than 20 per cent. After the formation of an association any national bank belonging thereto, whose outstanding circulating notes actually issued amount to not less
than 40 per cent of its capital, may obtain additional circulating notes in the
manner provided in section 1 of the above act.
2. National banks possessing the same qualifications as to unimpaired capital
and surplus required of banks joining a national currency association, and
whose circulating notes outstanding and actually issued are equal to 40 per cent
of its capital stock, may obtain additional circulating notes based upon the
securities prescribed in said.section 3 and in the manner indicated therein.
In pursuance of the requirements of the above act, the following regulations
are hereby established:
The national banks located in any city in the United States containing 10
or more such banks, having an aggregate unimpaired capital and surplus of not
less than $5,000,000, may form a national currency association. Ten or more
national banks possessing an aggregate unimpaired capital and surplus of not
less than $5,000,000 may form a national currency association of the banks
located within any contiguous territory outside of cities. But, in order that
all national banks in the United States possessing the qualifications of unimpaired eapital and 20 per cent surplus prescribed in the act may, if they desire,
be included within the membership of some national currency association, the
"^ Secretary hereby expressly reserves the right to add to, and include in, the
territory of any national currency association formed in accordance with the
provisions of the act any contiguous territory containing national banks which,
but for such inclusion, would be excluded from or inconveniently located as to
a national currency association.
National banks are advised that the names of the national currency associations must be indicative of the locality of the several associations. It is not
feasible, for instance, to permit an association to style itself " First National
Currency Association."
S8
tePORT ON THE FINANCES.
Accompanying herewith is a blank form of resolution which should be adopted
by the board of directors of each of the national banks desiring to form a national currency association, empowering its president or vice-president, as the
case may be, to act in the formation of such national currency association; also
a blank form of application to be used by a bank desiring to join an association.
These papers are to be presented at a meeting of national banks held for the
purpose of forming a national currency association.
There has been prepared a blank form of certificate to be executed by the officers and executive committees of national currency associations and forwarded
to the Secretary of the Treasury with the duly authenticated resolutions and
applications above mentioned.
° .
Upon receipt of the certificate above mentioned, and the papers which should
accompany the same, they'will be examined under direction o'f the Secretary of
the Treasury, and notice of approval or disapproval will be promptly forwarded
to the association.
Blank forms of the certificate above mentioned, also additional blank resolutions and applications, will be furnished upon applicati'bn to the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The following table shows, by States, the amount of capital and surplus of the
national banks which are entitled to membership in a national currency association. The aggregate capital of such banks and the aggregate surplus are
stated in the table, which includes only national banks having an unimpaired
capital and a surplus of not less than 20 per cent.

It will be seen from an examination of the table that the national banks
within some of the States are not eligible to form by themselves national currency associations, the aggregate capital and surplus being insufficient for the
formation of such association. It is apparent, therefore, that the national
banks in these States must affiliate with national banks in contiguous States
in order to effect the formation of an association.
The Secretary will not at this time allot any territory for the formation of
national currency associations other than as is herein indicated. It is thought
that the banks may prefer to come together of their own volition. It is preferable that state lines be observed as far as practicable, and due notice should
be taken of the fact that each national bank desiring to become a member of
a national currency association should be affiliated with the national banks
in its neighborhood, and not apply for admission to an association not occupying contiguous territory.
Under the law, national banks not taking part in the formation" of a national
currency association, but possessing the qualifications of membership, may
apply to the Secretary of the Treasury for admission to some association, and
upon his approval of their applications they may be admitted to membership in
a national currency association for their city or territory.
It will be observed that the foregoing relates only to the formation of national
currency associations. The method to be followed in obtaining additional circulation through such national currency associations will be made the subject
of a separate circular to be issued later. It should be stated in this connection,"
however, that national banks belonging to national currency associations and
desiring to obtain additional circulation through their associations must apply
therefor and submit their lists of securities to the 'officers of their respective
associations, and not to the Secretary of the Treasury. Applications to the
Secretary for additional circulation will be made by officers of the national
currency associations.
Applications for additional circulation under section 3, by individual national
banks, may be addressed, when the circulation is desired, to the Comptroller of
the Currency. That officer will advise any national bank as to the details of
procedure.
40
REPORT ON THE
JB^INANCES.
National banks, by examining section 6 of the act, will see that the redemption fund to be deposited in the Treasury on account of additional circulation
authorized by the act must consist of 10 per cent of such additional circulation.
Section 10 of the act provides that additional circulation issued under the
provisions of the act may be retired at any time, without restriction as to the
aggregate amount retired in any one month.
Referring to section 15 of the act, the rate of interest to be paid by depositary banks is hereby fixed at 1 per cent per annum upon the average monthly
amount of public deposits held, to be computed from June 15, 1908, and to be
payable July 1, 1908, and thereafter on J a n u a r y 1 and July 1 of each year.
Interest will be paid on the entire amount held by temporary or special depositaries, and on the amount held by regular depositaries in excess of the amount
needed for the transaction of public business. Each bank, will be advised by
letter of the precise amount of its public deposits exempt from payment of
interest.
The Secretary hereby reserves the right at any time, upon notice, to increase
the rate of the interest to be paid by depositary banks.
There has been but one national currency association actually
formed whose by-laws have received the approval of this Department. Other associations are in process of formation, and there
has been correspondence with national banks in different parts of the
country upon the subject; but it seems to be the general feeling'among
the national banks that the act should be amended in certain particulars in order to make it entirely effective. I t is contended that there
should be some provision in the law authorizing the withdrawal of
a national bank from the national currency association to which it
belongs, and that the voting strength of the several banks belonging
to a nationak currency association should bear some proportion to
their capital and surplus.
The Department is engaged in an investigation of the value and
character of the county, town, and other municipal securities specified
in section 3 of the act of May 30, 1908, and it has arranged with the
Interstate Commerce Commission to furnish promptly, upon application, information as to the status and value of railroad bonds, which
will no doubt be offered to national currency associations by the
national bank members thereof as security for additional circulation
to be issued through such national currencjr associations. Financial
conditions at this time do not indicate the need of the issue of additional circulation under provisions of the act of May 30, 1908, but
it is important that the Department and the national banks should
perfect as far as possible the details for carrying out in case of
necessity the provisions of the act.
New vault.
I n order to store the emergency currency prepared under the terms
of the act of May 30, 1908, it has been found necessary to construct
a new vault in the Treasury building. Contracts have been made°
SECRETARY' OF THE TREASURY.
41
to construct in the subbasement of the Treasury building a vault
which will be in all respects the best that can be made. The dimensions are: 54 feet long, by 18 feet wide, by 13 feet 9 inches high,
and the cost will be $34,000. The cubic contents of the vault will
be 13,291 cubic feet, and the estimated storage capacity will be
$580,000,000. I t is to be completed by February 15, 1909.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
Mint service.
The domestic coinage of the four coinage mints during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1908, amounted to 184,007,755 pieces, of the
value of $215,714,862.97. Qf this amount $197,238,377.50 was gold,
$16,530,477.25 subsidiary silver, and $1,946,008.22 minor coinage.
As compared with the fiscal year 1907, there was an increase of
$117,616,040 in gold coin and $3,555,943 in silver coin, and a decrease
of $1,373,444.96 in the minor coinage. Of the gold coinage, $106,164,360 in double eagles and $4,829,060 in eagles were of the designs prepared by the eminent sculptor, the late Augustus Saint Gaudens, to
whom great credit is due for the artistic merits of these coins.
I n addition to the domestic coinage, there were coined for the government of the Philippine Islands in silver 25,003,915 pieces, of the
value of 18,131,792.90 pesos, and 1,500 pieces of base coins, of the
value of 32.50 pesos, making a total of 18,131,825.40 pesos.
There were coined for the Government of Mexico in silver 1,397,291
50-centavo pieces, of. the value of $698,645.50.
The value of the original deposits of gold at the several mints
and assay offices during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, was
$207,413,762.82.
Production of gold and silver and consumption in the industrial arts.
The production of gold by the mines of the United States during the
calendar year 1907 is estimated to have been $90,435,700. The amount
of gold consumed in the industrial arts during the year is estimated
to have been $37,596,254, of which amount $30,418,680 was new
material.
The production of silver in the United States during the year is
estimated to have been 56,514,700 fine ounces, of the commercial
value of $37,299,700. The amount of silver consumed in the industrial arts during the year is estimated to have been 24,293,939 fine
ounces, of which amount 21,138,568 fine ounces were new material.
Purchases of silver.
There were purchased for the coinage of subsidiary silver during
the fiscal year 16,956,309.37 ounces of silver bullion 0.999 fine, at a
cost of $9,923,026. The coinage of subsidiary coin from new bullion during the year was $15,698,063.25, on which there was a seigniorage of $8,713,413.35. The purchases of silver for the subsidiary
silver coin was resumed in August, 1906. The aggregate amount purchased to June 30, 1908, was 28,956,185.44 ounces 0.999 fine, costing
$18,050,212.11. '
The coinage of subsidiary coin from new bullion from August,
1906, to June 30, 1908, was $28,358,018.40. The cost of the bul

$15,359,322.79.
New designs for coins.
For many years, and especially since the resumption of specie payments in 1879, when coins commenced to enter into active circulation,
there has been a popular demand for improvement in the designs of
our gold and silver coins. The act of February 12, 1873, revising the
coinage laws, limited both the designs, and devices of such coins td
those employed at the time of the passage of that act.
On September 26,1890, an act was passed by the Congress providing
for the preparation of new designs of authorized devices of the coins
of the United States. Under the terms of this act the Director of the
Mint, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, was authorized to cause riew designs or models of authorized devices to be prepared and adopted. No change, however, in the designs of the dies
of any coin was to be made oftener than once in twenty-five years
from and including the year, of the adoption of the design of the coin.
Under the act of 1890, in June, 1891, artists and others were invited
by circular letter to submit designs and suggestions for changes in
the designs of the silver dollar, the half dollar, the quarter dollar,
and the dime. None of the designs or suggestions were satisfactory,
and all were rejected by a comjnittee appointed by"the Secretary of
the Treasury to pass thereon. Instructions were given, in the latter
part of August, 1891, for the preparation of new designs for the half
and quarter dollar and the dime by the engraving department of the
Mint at Philadelphia. Tbe designs prepared were adopted and the
coinage therefrom commenced in January, 1892.
No action was taken looking to the artistic improvement in the
designs of the gold coins until early in 1905, when the President
decided that a change should be made. The eminent American sculptor, the late Augustus Saint Gaudens, was, by his direction, employed
to prepare models for the gold coins. Mr. Saint Gaudens entered
upon the work enthusiastically, and after much thought and labor
submitted models for the twenty and ten dollar gold pieces, which
were approved by the President.
I n November, 1907, the coinage of the double eagle and the eagle
in the designs prepared by Mr. Saint Gaudens was commenced. The
relief of the new double eagle and eagle is the highest of that of
coins issued by any country. The execution of the designs for these
coins was the last effort of the great American sculptor and the
crowning work of a notable career, giving additional interest to the
coinage.
The designs for the five dollar and the two and one-half dollar
gold pieces were prepared by another American sculptor, Mr. Bela
L. Pratt, of Boston. The striking characteristic of these coins is
44
REPORT o n THE FINANCE^.
that they are executed in intaglio, or, more strictly speaking, " incused," an innovation that is unique in coinage. I t was adopted upon
the suggestion of' Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow, of Boston, to.the
President as a plan of coinage to get the best results in artistic work
and at the same time preserve for commercial interests the uniformity
of the stacking of the pieces. Aside from this these coins are well
adapted for circulation in that the liability of loss by abrasion is
reduced to a minimum on account of the flat field.
'i The present designs of the half and quarter dollar and the dime
having been adopted in 1892, under ^existing law, no change can be
made in the designs' of these coins until after the expiration of
twenty-five years from the date of their adoption, which would not
be until 1917. I t is very desirable that a change in the designs of the
subsidiary silver coins should be authorized, and thCo favorable consideration of the Congress is earnestly recommended, that the designs
of these coins may be brought up to the standard of artistic merit
now distinguishing the present issue of the gold coins of the United
States.
Numismatic collection.
The collection of historical coins and medals in the Mint at Philadelphia was commenced in 1838, and has been gradually added to
each year until it has become a valuable one. Owing, however, to
the limited appropriation made by the Congress ($500 per annum) the
purchase of rare specimens has been necessarily limited, and because
of the restricted appropriation opportunities to secure specimens that
would have added much to the interest and value of the collection
have l3een lost.
As the numismatic value of rare coins is constantly increasing, and
as the present value of the cabinet in the Philadelphia Mint is far
greater than the amount expended for these coins and medals, I
renew my recommendation of last year that the annual appropriation
by the Congress for the purchase of coins and medals for this collection be not less than $5,000, or that authority be granted for the
striking of a small medal to be sold at the Mint and the proceeds
applied to the purchase of coins and medals for this collection.
ENGRAVING A N D P R I N T I N G .
In response to the increased needs for its product to meet the requirements of the business of the country the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing has steadily expanded and its resources have been
drawn upon to the utmost limit. I t has successfully met every demand made upori it, notwithstanding the inconvenient and unsatisfactory conditions under which its work has been executed.
The amount available for the transaction of the business of the
bureau during the year was $3,316,231 appropriated by the Congress,
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,
45.
and $567,440.48 repaid for services and materials furnished the several executive departments and bureaus, making an aggregate of
$3,883,671.48. The expenditures comprised $186,919.42 for salaries;
$1,415,272.37 for compensation of employees; $1,567,165.17 for wages
of plate printers and assistants; and $671,816.64 for materials and
miscellaneous expenses, making an aggregate of $3,841,173.60, and
leaving an unexpended balance of $42,497.88.
The result accomplished with the expenditures above stated included the production and delivery of 49,254,000 sheets of United
States notes and certificates; 19,000 sheets of registered bonds; 9,446,267 sheets of national-bank notes; 73,319,610 sheets of internalrevenue stamps; 399,000 sheets of customs stamps; 75,666,333 sheets
of United States postage stamps; 47,690 sheets of postage stamps for
the Philippine Islands; 101,200 sheets of silver certificates for the
Philippine Islands; 129,150 sheets of notes for E l Banco Espanol
Filipino for the Philippine Islands; and 2,206,947 sheets of checks,
drafts, etc., making an aggregate of 210,589,197 sheets. I n addition
to these impressions delivered, miscellaneous work was executed to the
value of $119,360.49.
Compared with the deliveries in the fiscal year 1907, there was an
increase of 10.54 per cent in United States notes and certificates and
bonds, 20.34 per cent in national-bank notes, and 8.34 per cent in
postage stamps, and a decrease of 2.86 per cent in internal-revenue
stamps, 5.45 per cent in customs stamps, and 16.33 per cent in checks,
drafts, etc., or an increase in the aggregate of 4.7 per cent.
In addition to the manufacture of this great quantity of securities,
stamps, etc., the bureau was called upon, in compliance with the act
of May 30, 1908, amending the national banking laws, to undertake
the immediate preparation of $500,000,000 in bank notes. This work
involved an enormous amount of labor, not only in printing, but in
altering nearly 10,000 engraved plates, required to be changed in
order that the notes prepared might, in the inscription on their face,
conform to the provisions of the act.
I t was deemed advisable, also, that the backs of these notes should
bear some suitable inscription connecting them with the new act and
differentiating them from previous issues. This was readily accomplished on the plates of the series of 1902 by adding the numbers
" 1902-1908," but as the series of 1882 had backs of an inartistic
design, expensive to print, and bore the coats of arms of the different
States, making it necessary to carry in stock a full supply for each
State, it was. considered to be an opportune time to prepare a new
design for these backs, and new plates were accordingly prepared.
This work was commenced immediately after the passage of the act,
the first back plate altered in accordance therewith having been sent
to press June 5, and the first delivery of the new currency made to

the Comptroller of the Currency June 15, showing commendable
promptness on the part of the bureau in. the prosecution of the work.
I n the preparation of the new currency, early provision was made
for notes for banks located in the agricultural sections of the country
in order that they might be available if required in the annual moving
of crops, and afterwards the orders for printing were distributed
among banks located in manufacturing and financial centers of other
States, this method being followed with the object of preparing the
emergency currency for use in those sections of the country which it
was believed would first need it. Gratifying progress has been made
with this work, about $315,000,000 having been delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency-by the middle of November. The daily
deliveries now approximate $3,500,000 in value, and it is expected to
complete the entire work early in the current calendar year. In
addition to preparing this currency, the usual deliveries of nationalbank notes have been maintained to provide for the redemption of
current circulation and for supplying new banks.
The satisfactory results achieved have been made possible only by
the continued employment of a night force, made necessary by the
lack of facilities and space for utilizing all of the employees during
the day, a portion of the engraving division being employed during
the entire twenty-four hours. This condition will obtain until the
completion of the new building, which, in accordance with the recommendation made in my last annual report, was authorized by the
Congress at its last session, and for which an appropriation for preliminary work was made. I n pursuance of this authorization, the
Department has acquired by purchase all of the land in square numbered 231 not now owned by the Government, together with all of
squares numbered 232 and 233, at a total cost of $396,304.40. Sketches
are now under consideration for the building, with a view to an early
commencement of actual building operations.
One of the most important items in the work of the bureau is the
preparation of postage stamps, of w^hich 75,666,333 sheets were delivered during the year, and it is gratifying to note that the bureau has
fully met the agreement with the Post-Office Department with regard
to the manufacture of these stamps, and especially in the matter of
carrying a reserve supply. I t now has a stock of every denomination
in excess of the required reserve.
I t has been found difficult, owing to the peculiar nature of the work
of the bureau, to obtain satisfactory technical and experienced men
for its service in the line of the preparation of engraved plates, and
steps have been taken through the Civil Service Commission to procure yqung men of special qualifications and train them in the bureau,
so that it will be unnecessary to take men from similar private establishments. The force is adequate at this time, but it is deemed wise

to take this step in anticipation of future additions to it that will be
necessary owing to the constantly increasing demand for the product
of the bureau.
SECRET SERVICE.
The secret-service division reports that the period of financial and
commercial disturbance which developed during the early autumn
was followed almost immediately by a very marked increase in the
number of offenses against the counterfeiting laws, especially those
relating to coining. There were 17 new counterfeit issues discovered
and described in official circulars during the year, 6 of which might
be considered in the fairly deceptive or dangerous class. There were
345 prosecutions under the various acts relating to counterfeiting as
compared with 216 the previous year, and there wasoan increase of not
quite 150 per cent in the amount of notes and coin captured and confiscated, the total coin, $19,135, being almost double the amount confiscated in 1907. An unusually large quantity of plates, dies, molds,
and contraband material was also captured. Incidentally a contemplated revolution in a neighboring island failed when the counterfeit
currency with which the insurgent troops were to be paid was seized
by the agents of the division, and the fiscal agent was arrested and
prosecuted for counterfeiting.
A mandatory statute requiring officers and employees of national
banks properly to brand counterfeit notes coming into their possession
is very generally disregarded, because through inadvertence no penalty is prescribed for failure to comply with its provisions. If a penalty clause were enacted, the circulating life of a counterfeit would be
shortened. Legislation is also suggested covering the offense of having in possession or passing worthless bills of defunct corporations
where the instrument sufficiently resembles Federal currency as to be
readily accepted by those not thoroughly experienced in the handling
of all the various issues of genuine obligations.
Attention is directed to the restrictive legislation incorporated in
the last sundry civil act in the paragraph " Suppressing counterfeiting and other crimes:"
No part of any money appropriated by this act shall be used in payment of
compensation or expenses of any person detailed or transferred from the secret
service division of the Treasury Department, or who may at any time during
the fiscal year nineteen hundred and nine have been employed in or under said
secret service division.
While it may have been the intention of the
put a limitation upon the funds available for
counterfeiting and to prevent the employment of
by the heads of other departments, the effect of

ing the five months it has been in operation is to extend it much
further. The Eevised Statutes give to the Secretary of the Treasury,
in common with other heads of departments, the right to utilize his
force of employees in the manner best calculated to serve the public
interests. In the Treasury Department, more than in ^mj other,
perhaps—in the mints, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Treasurer's office, subtreasuries, assay offices, and similar important .adjuncts to the handling of the Government's finances—there are great
temptations and great opportunities for the wrongdoer.
I n the investigation of any irregularity which may be suspected or
discovered the Secretary must necessarily adopt protective measures.
I am advised that he is quite within his rights in thus employing the
services of these agents. Modification of his statutory authority by
the restrictive paragraph of the act is not only a discrimination
against him as the head of an executive department, but distinctly
to the advantage of violators of the criminal statutes of the United
States. In one other direction the Secretary is seriously embarrassed,
for he may not promote a faithful, efficient, and deserving employee
of the secret-service division to any -one of the many offices in the
Treasury Department where the salary or expenses are included in
the sundry civil act. I respectfully insist that there should be no
question of the authority of the head of this Departrnent to transfer,
detail, or jpromote officers or employees under his jurisdiction.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The net disbursements on account of the District of Columbia for
the fiscal year 1908 by warrants paid were $12,184,505.10.
The net receipts deposited in the Treasury by warrant on this
account for the same period were $6,576,989.51.
The amount of the funded debt retired during the year was
$501,000, reducing the annual interest charge by $18,286.50. Since
the close of the fiscal year the debt has been further reduced by the
purchase of $486,650 3.65 per cent bonds, leaving outstanding September 1, 1908, $10,117,100 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 1908 the 10 per cent guaranty
fund retained from District of Columbia contractors amounted to
$260,018.89, and is represented by $121,230 in bonds purchased at the
request and risk of contractors and $126,280.76 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.

The debt of the Central Pacific and Western Pacific railroads on
account of bonds issued by the Government in aid of the construction
of the roads, amounting to $58,812,715.48 principal and interest, has
been paid in full;
'
Under settlement agreement of February 1, 1899 (House Document
No. 238, Fifty-fifth Congress, third session), the entire debt was
funded into 20 notes issued to the United States of $2,940,635.78 each,
maturing semiannually from February 1, 1899, to February 1, 1909,
bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent per annum and secured by
the deposit in the Treasury of collateral bonds bearing interest at 4
per cent per annum. These notes were paid either before or upon the
dates of maturity thereof, the last payment being made July 29, 1908,
which canceled the debt.
TERRITORY OF H A W A I I .
The debt of Hawaii, assumed by the terms of the joint resolution
of July 7, 1898, consisted of $3,235,400 in interest-bearing bonds'^and
$764,570.31 in postal savings deposits. This indebtedness has been
fully paid by the United States, except $2,493.80 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

Net decrease.
The total production of distilled spirits, exclusive of fruit brandies,
was 126,989,740.1 taxable gallons, against 168,573,913.2 gallons in
1907, a decrease of 41,584,173.1 gallons.
The production of fruit brandies increased 761,518.2 gallons.
During the fiscal year 1908 1,200 distilleries of all kinds were operated, a decrease of 387.
The production of beer was 58,814,033 barrels, an increase of
192,031 barrels.
The financial disturbance of last year naturally made itself felt in
reduced collections of internal revenue as well as of duties on imports.
I t is probable that other causes also contributed to the decrease in
internal-revenue collections, among which may be mentioned the following:
1. The prohibition movement, whereby the area in which distilled
spirits may be legally sold has been restricted.
51
SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
2. The unsettled, condition of the trade with reference to the marking and branding of certain classes of distilled spirits under the purefood laws.
3. The increase in the price of grain, causing an increase in the
cost of production of distilled spirits, resulting temporarily in a
reduction of the quantity of tax-paid spirits in the hands of dealers.
For comparative purposes, the collections for each month of the
fiscal years 1907 and 1908, and for the first four months of 1909, are

Denatured alcohol, •
On June 8 I addressed a letter to the Commissioner of Internal
Eevenue and to the chief chemist of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
directing them to proceed to Europe, to visit especially Great Britain,
52
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Germany, and France for the purpose of studying the conditions
existing in those countries and the systems used there with regard to
the manufacture of denatured alcohol for consumption in the arts
and industries and for fuel, light, and power; and directing them
also to make personal investigation into the regulations and modes
of procedure now in force under the supervision of the countries
named. They w^ere further directed to investigate particularly the
question of just how the cost of making denatured alcohol could be
reduced, looking to the regulations covering farm productions and
methods employed in the processes.
The Commissioner has made a lengthy report, which is in printed
form and is available for inspection.
The greatest ultimate advantage to be derived from the denaturedalcohol law will be in the shape of increased diversification of crops,
enhanced productiveness of unfertile soil, and the utilization of what
would otherwise be waste crops or by-products of crops. This
feature of the development of the industry will come necessarily as
a slow growth, especially as alcohol in our country has so far been
made from high-priced grains rather than cheap potatoes or molasses,
the by-product of the sugar beet.
Considerable interest, however, is being taken by the Agricultural
Department, by several States through experiment stations, and by
the farmers in the West looking to the planting, cultivation, and use
of the cheaper materials mentioned, and I look hopefully for a
gradual and substantial development of the industry in this respect.
I t should not be overlooked that, however slow that development is,
the operation of the denatured-alcohol law has already been of the
greatest benefit to the manufacturers of products, such as varnishes,
ether, fulminates, and various chemicals made from alcoholj and other
articles, such as celluloid and artificial leather, which require treatment b}^ alcohol as a part of the process of manufacture; also, that
the use of denatured alcohol for the purposes of fuel, light, and power
is increasing, notwithstanding the relative cheapness of petroleum
products. The necessary appliances so used are being rapidly manufactured and introduced, and the merits of denatured alcohol as a
source of energy are being brought to the attention of the public,
CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
The Department is endeavoring to administer the customs law in
such a way as not to permit the business of the country to be hampered by quibble or technicality, and at the same time to safeguard
the revenue in every respect. I t believes in giving an administration
that is fair alike to the American producer and the foreign importer.
To carry out completely such a policy, certain changes are needed in
the existing laws of customs administration,
53
SECRETARY^ OF THE TREASURY^
I renew the recommendation made in my annual report of last
year that legislation be enacted that will give to the Secretary of
the Treasury such power as will enable him to remedy the mistakes
made by the importer Avhose transaction is in good faith and who
has no intent to evade the law or defraud the revenue. The present
law is rigid and inelastic and treats the man whose fault is entirely
that of ignorance or accident with the same harshness as the deliberate and habitual offender. Reference is made, in this connection,
to that part of my report of last year which gives at some length
the reasons why such legislation is desired.
Customs receipts.
During the fiscal year ended July 1, 1908, the customs receipts of
the United States amounted to $291,081,942.84. The twenty leading
ports of the country, in their order as regards the amount of revenue
collected, and with the value of the imports at these places, are as

Former recommendations.
I wish to renew other recommendations in niy report of a year ago,
in regard to legislation needed for the proper conduct of the custoins
business of the country, the reasons for which were given in detail
at that time. I again call attention to the need of a law licensing
persons desiring to transact business as custom-house brokers, for the
protection alike of the Department and of the profession of customs
brokerage.
The present fee system of payment of customs officials is full of
recognized evils and should be changed. Collectors and other chief
officers of the custonis should be paid fixed and suitable salaries,
A small protest fee should be required in all cases of protest before
the Board of General Appraisers in order to relieve the Board of
54
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
unnecessary labor and to prevent the filing of protests that are admittedly without foundation and wholly insincere.
The time within which protests may be made against the action of
customs officers, both as to value and classification' of merchandise,
should be extended. The present limit is inadequate in the greats
pressiire of business of the present day, and it is often impossible
for the importer to receive information as to the decision in the case
of his importation before the time within which he can protest has
passed.
Sudden changes itnjust.
The Department appreciates thoroughly the injury that can be
done to. business interests by a sudden change in the customs standing of imported merchandise. I t realizes that such sudden changes
are unfair to business and introduce an element of uncertainty that
should be eliminated as far as possible. I t has accordingly instituted a new system by which, when the classification of goods is
changed which results in the payment of a higher rate of duty,
ample warning and notice are given to those interested. Any change
in classification that is now made by the Department does not go into
effect until thirty days after such action has been determined upon
and notice and warning of such advance formally and publicly given.
Uniformity necessary.
The proper administration of customs depends upon uniformity of
appraisement and classification. The law gives to appraising officers
at the different ports the authority to classify and appraise merchandise. This results too often in conflicting methods, with consequent hardship and injustice. The Department is taking all possible
steps to bring about absolute uniformity. This is of especial importance at this time, as a revision of the tariff means new tariff
schedules, new interpretations to be made, and new paragraph problems to be solved.
This year a conference of appraisers at New York was called,
which was attended by representatives from the leading ports of the
country. I t was the largest conference of the kind that has ever been
held in the United States and there were present officers from the
following ports^* New York, Boston, Philadelphia,"Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Buffalo, New
Orleans, Tampa, Portland, Me., and the officers acting as appraisers
at Port Townsend, Cincinnati, Newport News, Pittsburg, Milwaukee,
Galveston, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Kansas City, St. Paul, Providence,
Portland, Oreg., and Porto Rico. I n addition, the Department
summoned to meet these appraising officers its confidential agents
abroad, so as to have these officials come in personal contact and thus
SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY^

reach a better understanding. The result was very gratifying, and
the conference will be helpful in the movement to secure uniformity.
The Department has other and important plans under consideration
whereby the same class of goods will be made to pay the same rate
and amount of duty at all of the ports of the country.
Mail importations.
The question of mail importations and what legislation is necessary to put merchandise sent through the mails upon the same footing
as merchandise sent through the regular channels is being thoroughly
considered by a joint committee composed of Treasury Department
and Post-Office Department officials. At present as to this class of
imports there are not the necessary safeguards for protecting the
revenue of the Government. I t is hoped that whatever recommendation is submitted to the Congress as the result of the work of this
committee will receive prompt and favorable attention.
New hag gage regulations.
The new system for passenger baggage declarations, referred to in
my report of last year, is working successfully. I t has done away
with much annoyance and legitimate complaint from the traveling
public, and at the same time has not in any way lessened the protection to the revenues of the Government. Declarations are now made
out in better and more detailed form than before, and as a consequence baggage can be examined more easily and expeditiously than
under the old system. The steamship companies have cooperated
with the officers of the Department in handling the details of the
subject, and have done their part of the work with diligence and care,
Limoges china agreement.
There have just been concluded by the Department negotiations
which put an end to the long-drawn-out controversy as to the value
of Limoges china. I n doing this it has established a precedent and
a principle of cooperation between the manufacturing interests
involved and the United States Government which, in its opinion, is
capable of being extended to other classes of merchandise with excellent results. I n this matter the manufacturers of Limoges, and
the Treasury Department officials have worked together with the one
object in view of securing a proper and fair valuation of the product
of the Limoges potteries.
The work was started late last year, when the Treasury Department commission visited Limoges and went thoroughly into the whole
matter of manufacture and home-market value. The members of the
commission found manufacturers, with very few exceptions, frank

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
and well disposed. Their attitude was one of good faith and a desire
to have the question of value settled once for all, so that their business
would not be hampered by controversy and uncertainty. After
months of labor and a study of all the intricacies of china manufacture an agreement has been reached between the Department and the
Chamber of Commerce of Limoges, representing the manufacturers
of that city, as to the value of all kinds of pottery there manufactured.
There may be some details still to be settled, but they are of minol*
importance and do not affect the harmonious result that has been
achieved by this cooperation.
Foreign chamhers of commerce, .^
During the past year the Department sent abroad a commission,
consisting of Assistant Secretary James B. Reynolds, and Marion
De Vries and Byron S. Waite, of the Board of General Appraisers,
to examine into certain important matters affecting the proper administration of the customs law. One of these matters was the question
of chambers of commerce and their certificates of value. The commercial agreement with Germany contained a provision that the chambers of commerce of that country should be entitled to furnish certificates of value of merchandise manufactured or produced in their
respective communities, which should be regarded by appraising
officers of the United States as competent evidence in the finding of
value. Subsequent to this agreement this same privilege was, at
the request of several governments, extended to chambers of commerce
of other nations. I t was granted only after it was ascertained that
these organizations were governmental in their character, so that
in case of a careless or false certificateof value being sent to this
country by such an organization it would be possible to present tho
matter to its Government for proper action. The Treasury commission made a special study of these chambers of commerce in Germany,
France, Austria-Hungary, and Great Britain to determine just what
would be the competency of the evidence that was presented in cases
of disputed value. What was found by this commission appears
in the following extract from their report submitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury:
The chambers of commerce of these European countries should not and must
not be confused with similar organizations in the United States. Here they
are purely local, and to that extent irresponsible, making their own laws and
rules of procedure, accountable to no higher authority, and organized and
acting at their own will. In the four countries which the commission visited we found these chambers of commerce under governmental authority, varying somewhat in directness of control, but all accountable to government
officers. In Germany and in Austria-Hungary this control is most practical,
for the Government holds the purse strings, their funds are obtained from
government tax, and dissatisfaction with their conduct could be met by a cutting off of appropriation and financial supply. The members are chosen from
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
57
all branches of business, elected ^s prescribed by national law, make annual
reports to the government, their proceedings are published, and they do official
work for the government along many lines. In France there is not this financial equation, but qualifications for membership are strictly prescribed by law
as well as the number of members.
In Great Britain there is a different system. Not all of the chambers of commerce are under governmental control, and the Department has extended the
certificate privilege only to those which hold that relation. The government
board of trade holds itself responsible for a certain number of these organizations, having examined into their qualifications and abilities to do the work of
certification, and guarantees the results. At a conference between the board of
trade and the commission these qualifil^ations were agreed upon, and the board
will examine closely and thoroughly into each organization before asking that
the privilege be extended, and the Department will grant this privilege only to
those chambers of commerce recommended by the government board.
The commission had personal conferences with these organizations and the
government officers who controlled them in each of the countries visited. We
examined into their practical workings, and what their procedure would be when
asked to furnish a certificate of value. We told them that the United States
would insist upon two things in the certificates; that there should be honest
intent, and careful, thorough, and impartial examination as well; that it was
not enough to mean to give correct value and then permit, through carelessness,
a wrong value to be stated; that we desired no perfunctory signing of a paper
by some high officer of a chamber of commerce who was not acquainted with the
subject; that honest ignorance would not suffice if they wished a high degree
of competency to be attached to the certificates by the appraising officers; that
when we received such a paper we wished to be assured that it represented a
painstaking examination by persons competent to make it. We were assured
that this wish would be followed and the certificates sent would represent all
those features.
Of two things the commission is very confident—that in the chamber of commerce certificate there are great possibilities for good, and that the several
governments will do their utmost to see that no careless or false value is sent
to the United States. The members of these organizations we found to be the
leading business men of the place, of high
-^ing in the community, and men
who would not certify to a value that the;._^aa reason to believe was wrong.
And they have the ability to get at the true values. They are well organized,
possessed of facilities for getting information at first hand that neither treasury nor consular officials can have or acquire, and have persons competent to
find the exact truth. Should a chamber of commerce fail in its duty in the
issuance of such a certificate, we are confident that the government would take
up the matter actively, remedy the carelessness, if such there was, or provide
suitable punishment should such be needed.
Such organizations must, of course, vary in their expertness and accuracy of
work. Some may be found to be influenced by local conditions, especially in
cases where a city manufactures only one kind of goods and the prosperity of
the place depends upon the profit that the manufacturers show where these
weak spots are and where the line will need to be strengthened. But we do
believe that appraising officers in the United States should regard these certificates as coming from organizations of- reputable business men of high standing,
who intend that the information given shall be correct, and that which is obtained by thorough investigation, and that above the chamber of commerce is a
government that will insist that the privilege given shall be neither wasted nor
abused.
58
REPORT' ON T H E FINANCES.
Enforcement of the pure-food law.
In the administration of certain provisions of the food and drugs
act of 1906 the Department has endeavored to act so as to disturb
as little as possible business conditions and to eliminate all unnecessary technicality and delay, and at the same time to safeguard the
revenue. In cooperation with the Department of Agriculture certain methods and measures have been adopted which help to bring
about such a result.
It has been the practice in cases where goods have been detained
to have the findings of the local representative of the Department of
Agriculture and the evidence submitted by the importer sent to the
Department for decision. Such reference of each case to Washington
has resulted in delaying final action, and has caused friction between
Government officers and importers. It has now been arranged to do
away with such practice and to leave to the chief local representatives
of the two Departments at the larger ports the disposition of all
cases in which precedents or principles have been well established,
leaving only exceptional cases and new questions to be referred to the
Department of Agriculture for decision. The necessary instructions
to carry out this new system are in preparation, and other changes
designed to improve the present practice and to .facilitate the transaction of business are under consideration by this Department and
the Department df Agriculture.
Court of customs appeals.
Prompt and effi<iient administration of the customs laws is greatly
retarded by the present inefficient system of appeals from decisions
by the Board of General Appraisers. While improvement has
been in a measure afforded by the act of May 27, 1908, the system
yet invites delay by placing a premium upon it. As every rate and
phrase of a tariff act may be the subject of judicial action, until such
is finally had, no such act is complete, and until then all affected
industries and employments are to an extent embarrassed.
Previously the average life of a customs appeal after leaving the
Board of General Appraisers was four and one-half years. At present
the average time consumed is about two and one-half years. It may
well be doubted whether the recent act mentioned will afford any
marked improvement in this respect. The present system makes each
of at least 120 judges a possible final judge of customs appeals, a
condition which experience has demonstrated will inevitably result
in numerous irreconcilable conflicts of authority. In customs appeals,
each of which often, if not usually, affects large industries and great
numbers of employees, as well as consumers, prompt decision is of
vital importance.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
59-
The establishment by the Congress of a single appellate customs
tribunal to be coordinate in powers with United States circuit courts
of appeal would remedy the prevalent evils. Such a tribunal, having
exclusive jurisdiction of all customs, appeals, would reduce the time
of ultimate disposition of all such cases to one-third of the time now
required, would avoid all possible conflicts in final customs decisions,
and would eliminate other objectionable features of the present
system:
I t is therefore recommended to the Congress that there be established a United States circuit court of customs appeals having jurisdiction of all appeals from decisions of the Board of United States
General Appraisers.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The policy of the Department with reference to the design and
construction of public buildings under its control has been to keep
fully abreast of the great advance made in this field of enterprise.
Probably no branch of art has made greater strides in recent years
than architecture, and this Department has steadily endeavored to
raise the standard of its buildings to the level of the best examples
known.
The act of the Congress approved May 30, 1908, carried an appropriation of approximately $34,000,000, and authorized the purchase of 259,sites and the construction of 206 buildings. Proposals
have been taken for the sale of these sites to the Government, and
agents of the Department have been in the field examining the properties offered. Selections of sites are being made as rapidly as possible, and the preliminary work has been pushed with all possible
expedition.
The office of the Supervising Architect, which is charged with the
duty of preparing plans and specifications for public buildings and
the administrative work in connection therewith, has again reached
the high state of efficiency which characterized it prior to July 1,
1905, when it underwent partial disintegration for reasons mentioned
in previous reports. This is largely due to the policy of the Congress
in making additional appropriations for its support, and this important branch of the Department is now well equipped for the task of
erecting the many buildings authorized. Its operations have, however,
been considerably hampered by lack of space for the working force, a
condition which the Department hopes may be remedied in the near
future.
Provision was made in the act of May 30, 1908, that all appropriations for public buildings subsequent to July 1, 1907, should be expended for the actual work of construction and no other purpose.
60
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
This is a radical but wise change in former laws, which directed the
Secretary of the Treasury to charge the construction appropriations
equitably with the salaries of employees in the office of the Supervising Architect and other contingent expenses. This policy was a
burden upon the appropriations in question, rather cumbersome and
difficult to carry into effect, and its operation was frequently misunderstood by citizens of towns and cities where public buildings were
erected. Under the legislation mentioned the full limit of cdst will
be expended upon buildings authorized by the Congress iii the act of
May 30, 1908.
Further change, it is believed, could be made to great advantage.
The present system employed in connection with bills for public
buildings is not conducive to the best results. A great mass of bills
is annually poured in on the Department, with requests for early
reports. In many instances the buildings authorized are unnecessary for the public business, and in the interests of economy the construction could be postponed for several years. Insufficient time is
allowed for investigation as to the requirements of the building
proposed, or, in fact, for an accurate estimate of cost. As a result,
it frequently happens that a number of buildings are authorized
which are not required, and on the other hand no appropriations are
made for localities in which the Government is urgently in need of
adequate buildings, and is in all probability paying large rent for
insufficient quarters.
Public building appropriations should be put on a basis similar
to that now employed in connection with appropriations for river
and harbor work. If this were done, the Congress would submit to
this Department a list of localities, wdth the request that at the next
session a report be submitted showing:
1. The necessity or advisability of a building in the. city or town
suggested. This would necessarily embrace the size of the city, the
cost of the building, and the price at which rented quarters are to
be had.
2. If a public building is recommended, the area and probable
cost of the site; the size, cost, and character of the building that
should be erected; the branches of the Government service that would
occupy it when completed, and the annual cost of its maintenance.
3. The amount of appropriation necessary to carry on the work
during the ensuing fiscal year.
With such a report, carefully made in detail after consultation with
the other departments interested, the Congress would be better able
to judge of the advisability of authorizing a building and of the
appropriation required. I am confident that by this method a great
saving could be effected and that buildings could be more satisfactorily and economically distributed.

Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce apd Labor;, and of
squares 233 and 232 and the remainder of 231 for the enlargement of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, already referred to. After

now preparing the complete working drawings, which it is believed
will be submitted to the various contractors for estimates early in the
spring, and a contract awarded which will enable the Department to
complete and occupy the building coincident with the opening of the
terminal by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

Bureau of Puhlic Health.
Attention is invited to the necessity of increased administrative
facilities for the efficient conduct of the Bureau of Public Health,
established by act of the Congress approved July 1, 1902.
Plague in San Francisco and vicinity.
I n May, 1907, a fatal case of plague in San Francisco was reported.
Efforts were made by local and State authorities, assisted by officers
of the service, to suppress the disease, but in September, 1907, at the
request of the mayor of San Francisco, and by direction of the
President the Department took charge of the work of suppression,
and Passed Asst. Surg. Rupert Blue was placed in charge. On his
arrival he found that the infection was widespread and that the
difficulties,of the situation were added to by disorganized and ruinous
conditions consequent upon the earthquake and conflagration of
April, 1906. An active antiplague campaign was begun at once,
and the measures instituted by the service received the hearty support
and cooperation of the local authorities, mercantile bodies, trade
councils, and labor unions of the city. The expenses of the Government were limited up to the end of the fiscal year to the pay of officers
and employees and the expenses of laboratory investigations, other
expenses being borne by the city of San Francisco. U p to June 30,
1908, there were 159 cases of plague, with 77 deaths. One thousand
six hundred and eighty sick persons suspected of plague infection
were inspected; 3,973 inspections of the dead were made; 5,320 houses
were disinfected; numerous sanitary nuisances were abated, and over
7,000,000 poisons for the destruction of rats were placed; 203,642
rats were collected, and of these, 90,720 were examined bacteriologically, with the result that 306 were found infected with plague.
Although the last case of human plague in San Francisco was reported
in February, 1908, these sanitary measures have been continued.
On November 1, 1908, in view of the lapse of time since the occurrence of the last case of human plague in the city, and only two plagueinfected rats having been discovered in a period of nearly eight
months, the force engaged in plague suppressive measures in the city
was materially reduced.
•
I n Oakland, up to and including June 30, 1908, there were 12 cases
of plague, with 7 deaths. The service operations there included the
detail of an officer for the supervision of preventive measures and
laboratory investigations of plague suspects. I n Oakland 37,756 rats
were trapped or killed, 357 houses were disinfected, numerous sani-

REPORT ON T H E ' F I N A N C E S .
tary nuisances were abated, and nearly 3,000,000 poisons for the destruction of rats were placed. Three cases occurred in other localities in California, in the vicinity of San Francisco, and were followed
by necessary sanitary measures.
•
. ^
On August 11, 1908, a case of human plague was reported from
Los Angeles, Cal., and immediately afterwards a ground squirrel,
found dead, presented bacteriological evidence of plague infection.
A laboratory has been established in Los Angeles, and numerous examinations of ground squirrels, rats, and mice Itave been made. U p
to this date no further evidences of rodent infection have been found,
but the details of a plan for the destruction of ground squirrels are
being perfected and a systematic campaign against these animals will
shortly be inaugurated.
Plague in Seattle^ Wash,
Three human cases of plague occurred in Seattle in October, 1907,
Infected rats were also found, and upon re'quest of the governor of
the State of Washington and the mayor of Seattle, the service assumed; charge of plague suppressive measures November 9, 1907.
To June 30, approximately 41,000 rats were collected, and 25,000 of
this number were subjected to necropsy, with the result that 11 were
found plague infected. Since June 30, 9 infected rats were found in
July and 1 in September.
Plague in other countries.
Plague was widespread throughout the world during the fiscal
year. Since the first outbreak of plague in China in 1894, 51 countries have been invaded. Ecuador, Venezuela, and the British gold
coast were add-ed during the fiscal year to the plague-infected countries. In Hawaii there were 7 cases^ 4 of which were in Honolulu.
I n the Philippine Islands there occurred a single fatal case from a
vessel at Manila.
The advance of plague throughout the world in the past fourteen
years has been notable, and attention to this fact has been called b y '
the bureau in special bulletins, including one on the " Measures Necessary to Prevent the Introduction and Spread of Plague." The lastnamed bulletin has also been published in Spanish and circulated by
the Porto Rican and Cuban authorities.
The high rate of mortality of this disease and the exceeding
persistency of its spread from one locality to another make it imperative that in all combative measures there be the most thorough
cooperation between the authorities,«representing national. State,
and municipal governments, and private citizens of all ranks, and that
no precaution be omitted which will prevent this dread menace from
gaining a permanent foothold on our shores.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

Yellow fever.
The only cases of yellow fever reported in the United States during
the year were three fatal cases imported by vessels and confined to
quarantine. I n Panama there was a single reported case at Ancon.
In Cuba, during the first half of the fiscal year, 147 cases and 50
deaths were reported, and during the second half, 35 cases and 13
deaths. * ^
,
Cholera,
I n Hawaii there was one fatal case at Honolulu in December. I n
the Philippine Islands there were reported, from July to February,
421 cases and 355 deaths at Manila, and 360 cases and 283 deaths in
the provinces.
Smallpox.
Forty-two States, two Territories, and the District of Columbia
reported 31,190 cases.
Rahies,
A considerable number of persons were exposed to rabies in the
District of Coluujbia during the past year, and authority was granted
the Director of the Hygienic Laboratory to administer the virus to
persons who might present themselves for that purpose. Sixty cases
have been treated, with no fatality. Because of its increasing prevalence in the United States, investigations of this disease in the
Plygienic Laboratory have been resumed. These studies have included the preparation of a " fixed virus," which is of great value in
the prophylactic treatment of those bitten by rabid animals.
Investigation of typhoid fever in the District of Columhia,
The board of officers appointed to investigate the origin and prevalence of typhoid fever in the District of Columbia have submitted
a second report (Hygienic Laboratory Bulletin No. 44) which throws
additional light on the causation of this disease. The board is engaged in further investigations of this problem during the present
season, intensive studies of a limited area of the city being made.
These investigations have been of great value in studies of typhoid
fever in other parts of the country, the Pittsburg Typhoid Commission recently organized having undertaken precisely similar studies
in that city.
Leprosy investigation station.^ Molohai^ Hawaii,
I t having been determined to erect the necessary buildings under
the supervision of the constructor, orders were issued September 26,
1907, to an officer to undertake this work. Since that time rapid

progress has been made looking to the completion of the station. The
medical director in charge of the investigation station and his assistants have continued their studies at Honolulu and Molokai. These
studies have been of importance in relation to the problems of leprosy,
and they have also emphasized the necessity of the study of incipient
cases in Plonolulu as a part of the general investigation.
Supervision over the manufacture and sale of viruses^ s e r u m s ^ n d
toxins.
The act approved July 1, 1902, regulating the sale of viruses,
serums, and toxins in interstate traffic has been administered as in
previous years.
Standardization of tetanus antitoxin.
I
In order that the above-mentioned law might be properly administered, it became necessary to establish a standard for measuring the
strength of tetanus antitoxin, and work upon this subject has been
carried on in the Hygienic Laboratory for the past two years, with
the result that a standard has been devised. An amendment to the
regulations promulgated under the act of the Congress approved
July 1, 1902, was therefore prepared and issued October 25, 1907,
fixing the immunity unit for measuring the strength of tetanus antitoxin, the same being based upon the official test dose of a standard
toxin prepared in the Hygienic Laboratory, this toxin being furnished
from time to time to manufacturers of viruses, serums, and toxins,
and others concerned.
The Hygienic Lah oratory.
The additional building for which the Congress appropriated
$75,000 is now in the course of construction. The activities of the
laboratory have increased in scope, and the results of investigations
made therein are contained in 7 bulletins published during the year.
With the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, there has been
some enlargement of the Division of Pharmacolog}^ to provide for
investigations of organo-therapeutic preparations in their relation
to the public health and the study of pharmaceutical preparations in
relation to the decennial revision of the pharmacopoeia.
Sanitary conferences.
In accordance with the act of the Congress approved July 1, 1902,
the sixth annual conference of State health authorities with the
Surgeon-General of the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service
was held in Washington, April 27, 1908. In accordance with sec-

tion 5 of the same act, a meeting of the advisory board of the
Hygienic Laboratory was held in Washington, February 27, 1908.
The summary of the work of the typhoid fever board during 1907
was presented for consideration, and it was the unanimous opinion
that the investigations should be continued, the problem being one
of national importance and the results obtained of great value to
health officers in combating this disease.
^
International^ sanitary conventions.
The Third International Sanitary Convention of the American
Republics was held in the City of Mexico, December 2-7, 1907, at
which were present delegates from 13 Republics. This convention
adopted a number of important resolutions relating to the prevention
of malaria, tuberculosis', and other diseases, and the improvement of
health conditions in the Western Hemisphere.
A conference was held in Rome, December 3, 1907, at which were
present delegates from the powers signatory to the International
Sanitary Convention of Paris, signed ad referendum December 3,
1903. The conference had for its object the exchange of propositions
regarding the organization of the International Sanitary Bureau of
Paris. An agreement and organic statutes were edited and signed
December 9, 1907. This arrangement was ratified by the President
of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the Senate February 15, 1908. The International Sanitary Bureau of Paris
was therefore duly organized November 4, 1908, this Government
being represented by a commissioned medical officer of the Public
Health and Marine-Hospital Service. The United States will, therefore, participate in the conduct and benefits of the above-mentioned
bureau.
International Congress on Tuherculosis.
The Congress at its last session adopted a resolution that an invitation be extended to the governments of other countries to send representatives to the International Congress on Tuberculosis, to be held
in Washington September 21 to October 12, 1908. An appropriation
was also made to .enable the Government of the United States to
participate suitably in this congress, and the Public Health and
Marine-Hospital Service therefore assembled an exhibit calculated to
show the activities of this Department in the cQmbat against tuberculosis.
National quarantine.
The Surgeon-General reports that 9,579 vessels were inspected, of
which number 733 were disinfected at the 43 national quarantine stations in the continental United States. Inspection has been main-

tained on the Canadian and Mexican borders. National quarantine
has also been maintained at 8 ports in Porto Rico, 7 in Hawaii, and 7
in the Philippine Islands. Medical officers of the Public Health and
Marine-Hospital Service were stationed at the following-named foreign ports: Habana, Cienfuegos, Matanzas, and Santiago, Cuba; Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil; Veracruz, Progreso, Coatzacoalcos, Salina Cruz,
and Tampico, Mexico; Colon, Republic of Panama; Bridgetown, Castries, and St. Thomas, West Indies; Guayaquil, Ecuador; Callao,
Peru; Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagasaki, J a p a n ; Hongkong, China;
Naples, Italy, and Calcutta, India. These officers have exercised
quarantine supervision over outgoing vessels bound for the United
States, its insular possessions and dependencies. At a number of
foreign ports they have also examined emigrants by request of the
Immigration Bureau and steamship companies. Medical officers have
also been stationed at nine fruit ports in Central America to enforce
at the foreign ports the special regulations relating to fruit vessels
which permit their entry at ports of the United States without detention.
During the fiscal year the legislature of the State of South Carolina ceded to the United States, without cost, its four quarantine
stations, and the operation of the said stations has been continued
throughout the year. The title to the New Orleans quarantine station and of the four substations in Louisiana has not as yet been
completed, but the stations have been operated as national stations,
and the question of the title is in the hands of the proper law officers
of the Government. A title to the quarantine station at Mobile has
been perfected, and the erection of buildings necessary to the complete rehabilitation of the station wdll be proceeded with under a
decision of the Comptroller of the Treasury. Measures will be taken
looking to the acquisition of a quarantine site in the harbor of Galveston, Tex.
Outgoing quarantine procedures instituted on account of the prevalence of "bubonic plague in San Francisco, Cal., were maintained
during the fiscal year, but on October 20, 1908, no case of human
plague having occurred in the city during a period of eight months,
and but two plague-infected rats having been discovered during the
same period, these restrictions were removed.
Medical inspection of immigrants.
During the fiscal year 935,597 immigrants were inspected under the
provisions of the immigration laws and regulations. These examinations have been made at ports in the United States, at some ports
officers being detailed for this duty exclusively, while at others the
examination has been made in conjunction with other duties of the

officers, and at all ports provision is made for a board of medical
officers to pass upon cases that have given rise to dispute. Of the
number of inspections made, 782,870 were arriving aliens, 141,825
were arrivals whose American citizenship was subsequently determined, and of the former number 10,902 were rejected for various
causes falling under the immigration laws and regulations.
Sanitary hulletins and reports.
During the year 222,456 sanitary and scientific bulletins and reports were issued by the bureau. These included the weekly Public
Health Reports, the bulletins of the hygienic laboratory, and numerous special bulletins relating to the public health. The bulletin
entitled " Milk and Its Relation to the Public Health," to which
reference was made in my last annual report, has been published and
distributed. There has been an enormous demand for this treatise,
and the Department edition is now exhausted. Because of its practical and scientific value, the Surgeon-General is of the opinion that
this publication, should have a wider circulation, and it is respectfully
recommended that provision-be made by the Congress for a special
edition.
Marine hospitals and relief.
During the fiscal year 54,301 patients received treatment, 14,778
being treated in hospital, and 39,523 as dispensary or out-patients.
The hospital patients received a total of 426,957 days treatment.
The service operated 21 hospitals, owned by the Government, and
maintained 126 other relief stations where seamen were given hospital
or dispensary treatment.
At the sanatorium for consumptives. Fort Stanton, N. Mex., 369
patients were cared for during the year. Of these, 91 were discharged, 84 died at the sanatorium, and 194 remained under treatment at the close of the year.
Aid was extended to other branches of the Government in the
physical examination of 5,210 persons, of whom 463 were rejected.
In addition 274 merchant seamen were examined to determine their
fitness for shipment on American vessels, of whom 27 were rejected;
also 10 foreign seamen, of whom 6 were rejected.
During the year relief stations of the third class were established
at Bellingham, Wash., Kansas City, Mo., and Port Arthur, Tex.
Personnel,
At the close of the fiscal year there were 128 commissioned medical
officers, namely, the Surgeon-General, 5 assistant surgeons-general,
29 surgeons, 62 passed assistant surgeons, and 31 assistant surgeons.
There were also 281 acting assistant surgeons and 48 pharmacists.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
Expenditures,
The appropriation for the ordinary maintenance of the service was
$4,187,750, of which sum $150,000 was payable from the appropriation for expenses of regulating immigration. The receipts from all
sources, repayments for care of foreign seamen, etc., were $17,104.95.
The expenditures were $1,084,783.23; estimated outstanding liabilities, $13,149.73, leaving an estimated balance of $106,921.99.
The amount available of the appropriation for preventing the introduction and spread of epidemic disease at the beginning of the
fiscal year was $379,803.17. Appropriations amounting to $700,000
were made in addition to the available balance reappropriated. The
expenditures were $368,795.59, leaving a balance June 30, 1908, of
$711,007.58.
The appropriation for the maintenance of the quarantine service
was $355,000. The amount of repayments was $509.11. The expenditures were $342,390.92, which, deducting outstanding liabilities, leaves
an estimated balance of $5,158.01.
The amount available of the appropriation for national quarantine
and sanitation at the beginning of the fiscal year was $456,225.48;
the repayments were $525.20; the expenditures were $88,084; the
balance on hand June 30, 1908, was $368,666.68.
Legislation.
There is increasing demand for further 'protection of the public
health, and in this respect the National Public Health Service has
certain duties to perform. Broadly speaking, these duties are the
prevention of the introduction of contagious and infectious diseases
from without and prevention of their spread from one State or Territory to another; the investigation of said diseases and conditions
favoring their spread, as well as methods necessary for their prevention; the dissemination of sanitary information thus acquired among
sanitary officials and the public generally, and cooperation with State
and territorial authorities for the protection of life and health.
The officers of this service are constantly doing work no less arduous
than the medical officers of the other services of our Government in
time of war. No small number of them have lost their lives in epidemics, and in justice they should receive the same compensation as*
officers of the other medical services of the Government. In view of
these facts it is recommended that the Congress during its present
session enact legislation necessary to further improve the public
health and to maintain the high standard of efficiency in the Public
Health and Marine-Hospital Service.

The work of the service has extended, as usual, along the entire coast
of the United States, including the waters of the Great Lakes, Alaska,
and Porto Rico. Four vessels have operated exclusively in Bering
Sea from June until late in the fall for the protection of the fur
seals. The Thetis made the annual cruise into the Arctic Ocean,
and her efforts in the far north have resulted in great good not only
to the public interests, generally, but in correcting various abuses
that were found to exist in the whaling fleet. I t is thought that these
abuses have been practically eradicated. Two Japanese schooners,
the Nitto Maru OLndi'Kaiwo Maru^ were seized by the patrol fleet for
unlawful sealing in territorial waters off the Pribilof Islands, and
their crews were taken to Valdez, Alaska, for trial.
There have been during the year 22 cruising cutters in active commission, and 17 harbor vessels and launches which have performed
boarding and anchorage duty at various ports. Twelve officers have
been assigned to the Life-Saving Service to inspect the life-saving
stations, drill their crews, superintend the construction of buildings
and appliances, etc.
The important work of assisting vessels in distress and of removing
derelicts and other dangerous obstructions from the paths of commerce, with which the service is specially charged, has been diligently
and successfully prosecuted. Two instances of the character of this
work deserve special mention. On September 11^ 1907, 243 persons
who had been cast ashore from the wrecked ship John Currier^ of San
Francisco, near Nelsons Lagoon, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, and were
suffering great privation, were rescued and afterwards safely conveyed to Seattle, Wash. On February 21, 1908, the Thetis was dis-

patched from Puget Sound to Point Manby, Yakutat Bay, Alaska, a
distance of 1,000 miles, for the relief of a Japanese crew of 11 men
belonging to the schooner Satsuma Maru^ who were reported wrecked
at that place and in distress. The Thetis promptly set out on her
mission, found the shipwrecked crew, and, at much risk, succeeded in
bringing them to the ship in small boats through a dangerous surf.
All duties within the scope of the service have been carefully performed, and the organization has been maintained in a state of
readiness and efficiency.
Vessels,
The cutters Boutivell^ Fessenden^ Dallas^ and Dexter^ all obsolete
types of vessels, and which had become unfit for active service and
were not worth extensive repairs, were condemned and sold under
authority of section 2748, Revised Statutes. There is need of several
additional sea-going, well-equipped vessels to enable the service to
discharge effectively its duties and meet the increased demands made
upon it. I recommend the passage of Senate bill 3345, for the construction of 4 steam vessels, which has been favorably reported, with
amendments, to the House of Representatives by the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce. I recommend also that a suitable
vessel be provided for the Hawaiian Islands.
Legislation,
The provisions of the act approved April 16, 1908, which are in
accordance with my recommendations of last year, will materially
improve the organization of the service. Aside from other advantages of this legislation, the benefits which it insures to the warrant officers and enlisted men will exert a marked influence in
promoting the efficiency of the noncommissioned force.
Transfer of F o r t Trumhull,
The school for the education and training of cadets is now located
at Arundel Cove, Md., about 7 miles from Baltimore, on the site provided for a general depot for the Revenue-Cutter Service. This location is not easy of access, has undesirable surroundings, and is not
suitable for the proper development and progress of the school. The
matter has been given careful consideration by the Department and
various places have been examined with a view of securing a location
which would be advantageous and permanent. That considered most
available and best adapted for the purposes of the school is the militar}^ reservation of Fort Trumbull, on the Thames River, at New
London, Conn., consisting of about 13 acres, with various buildings
and improvements thereon, which, is under the jurisdiction of the
73
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY^
War Department. The latter has signified its willingness, with the
approval of the Congress, to turn over the reservation, subject to certain minor limitations, for the use of the Revenue-Cutter Service. I
therefore strongl}'^ recommend that the Congress authorize the transfer of Fort Trumbull to this Department for the purpose stated.
Small expense has been incurred in permanent improvements for the
school. These are well adapted and are needed for the equipment of
the depot.
LIFE-SAVING
SERVICE.
At the close of the fiscal year the Life-Saving Establishment
embraced 280 stations, distributed upon the sea and lake coasts as
follows: On the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, 201; on the coasts of the
Great Lakes, 61; on the Pacific coast, 18.
The number of vessels meeting disaster within the domain of the
service during the year was 1,094. There were on board these vessels
5,712 persons, 22 of whom were lost. The estimated value of the
property imperiled was $13,530,225, of which amount $10,390,955
represents the value of the vessels endangered, and $3,139,270 the
"value of their cargoes. The number of vessels totally lost was 56.
These figures are divided between documented and undocumented
vessels (the last-mentioned class being craft of less than 5 tons
burden, including sailboats, gasoline launches, rowboats, etc.) as
follows:

The number of disasters included in the foregoing table exceeds
that given in last year's report by 39 for documented vessels and
217 for small craft, and is 246 greater than that for any previous
year in the history of the service. The increase over last year in the
number of casualties to vessels of the larger class is attributed to
two causes, namely, the exceptional openness of the winter and the
extension of the scope of operations of the life-saving crews as a result of the installation of power in the service lifeboats, which has
made it possible for them to assist a larger number of distressed
vessels. The increase with respect to undocumented vessels is in some
74
'
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
measure due to the same reasons, but chiefly to the fact that the use
of gasoline launches has sprung into such sudden and general favor.
The number of accidents to this type of craft alone during the last
year was 330—nearly one-third of the total for all classes of vessels.
Of the 1,094 vessels imp^eriled, 861, valued with their cargoes at
$4,447,460, were assisted solely by the life-saving crews; 192 vessels,
valued with their cargoes at $8,109,710, were aided by the life-saving
crews in cooperation with tugs and other agencies; 13 vessels, valued
with their cargoes at $502,445, were assisted by private agencies only;
and 28 vessels, valued Avith their cargoes at $470,610, received no
assistance from any source.
Assistance of more or less importance was afforded by the station
crews to 89 documented and 210 undocumented vessels not included '
in the tabular statement, making in all 1,352 vessels assisted by the
service crews.
The crews also saved the lives of 56 persons from situations of
peril unassociated with vessels, and succored at the stations 156 persons in distress arising from causes unrelated to shipwreck.
Warning signals were made from the station lookouts and by the
beach patrol to 219 vessels running into danger, 199 of the warnings'^
having been given at night and 20 in the daytime. Of the vessels
so warned, 97 were steamers.
A comparison of the foregoing statistics with those of former years
establishes the gratifying fact that, while the number of disasters
oci3urring last year was much greater than for any previous year,
the percentage of lives lost has never been less. The best showing
heretofore made in this regard was that for the year 1896, when one
life was lost out of each 260 persons involved, the ratio being the
same as that for the period covered by this report. The work accomplished in the saving of property has likewise been equaled
but once, namely, in the same year, 1896, when the percentage of
loss was slightly smaller. Taking into consideration, however, the
services performed by the station crews outside their duties as salvors
of life and property from the perils of the sea, such as extinguishing
neighborhood fires, recovering miscellaneous property, etc., it may
be asserted that the year's record has never been surpassed. The net
expenditure for the maintenance of the service was $1,962,524.90.
New life-saving stations were completed and manned during the
year at Bethany Beach, Del., and at the entrance to Tillamook Bay,
, Oregon.
During the year several of the self-righting and self-bailing lifeboats in use at the stations were equipped with motive power. The
remarkable extension of life-saving operations that has been effected
in the localities of those stations at which mechanical power has thus

been made to supplement the use of oars and sails renders it a matter of imperative necessity to similarly equip all the larger service
boats. This is being done as rapidly as possible.
Adopting the Secretary's recommendation in last year's report,
both Houses of the Congress passed a bill authorizing the transfer
of surplus books from the Treasury Department library to the stations of the Life-Saving Service, too late, however, to receive the
approval of the President before adjournment.
The act of the Congress approved March 26, 1908, increasing the
compensation of the field force of the service, has done much to improve the conditions heretofore complained of with respect to the difficulty experienced in securing suitable men for the station crews. I t
is to be regretted, however, that the law carries no pension or
retirement feature, which would have permitted the Government to
recognize appropriately the deserts of a class of men engaged in
hazardous public service.
JAMESTOWN
EXPOSITION.
In accordance with the provisions of public act No. 211, approved
March 3,1905, and section 10 of public act No. 383, approved June 30^
1906, the first permanent settlement of English-speaking people on
the Western Hemisphere was celebrated by holding an international
exposition in the vicinity of Jamestown, Va.
The several appropriations made, and directed to be expended
under the supervision of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Commission,
composed of the Secretaries of the Treasury, War, and Navy, in
promotion of the exposition, and specifically allotted by the acts of
the Congress above referred to, were placed to the credit of the
respective Departments for the purposes indicated, as follows:

REPORT ON TI-IE FINANCES.
The President issued his proclamation March 29, 1905, inviting
the nations of the world to participate, and on April 26, 1907, being
present in person, he formally declared the Jamestown Exposition
opened. On this occasion there were present many of the Cabinet
officers, the Diplomatic Corps, many military and naval officials from
foreign countries, and other distinguished guests.
The buildings erected comprised five large structures for exhibit
purposes, including a building for the American Republics and
Mexico's exhibits, club houses for the officers and enlisted men of
the army and navy, a home and office building for the Jamestown
Ter-Centennial Commission, and a commodious building for the
exhibit made by the negroes of the country. At Jamestown Island
was erected a handsome granite monument, marking the first place
V of settlement, and suitable rest and comfort stations were provided
for the use of the public.
Permanent piers adjacent to the exposition grounds and extending
into Hampton Roads were constructed as required by the War Department, permanent moorings provided by the Navy Department,
a landing pier arranged for at Jamestown Island, and a large military camp and establishment made a part of the exposition immediately outside of the grounds.
At the close of the exposition all Government exhibits were carefully packed and returned to Washington, and such as might be
utilized, together with other fixtures purchased for exposition purposes, will be arranged for shipment to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition at Seattle.
All buildings erected and the permanent Government pier constructed in Hampton Roads remain in the custodianship of the Secretary of the Treasury, pending congressional action as to the other
interests involved in the bill before the Senate looking to the purchase of the exposition grounds for a naval training and coaling
station.
There is attached hereto a statement showing the expenditures
made as directed by the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Commission. A
report of the work in detail, with that of the Government Board,
Negro Development and Exposition Company, and the various departments, will be transmittted to the President for the information
of the Congress, as provided by law.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
DOUBLE-ENTRY
SYSTEM
OF B O O K K E E P I N G .
On July 1, 1907, a double-entry system of bookkeeping, as outlined in a report addressed to the President on January 19, 1907,
by the Committee on Department Methods, was installed in this Department, recording the accounts of receipts and disbursements, appropriations, revenues, expenditures, and statutory acounts, and the
personal accounts of fiscal officers. Controlling or general accounts
are provided, which exhibit the aggregates of the detailed accounts
in the books of original entry, and which insure a balance of all
accounts.
The system supplements the methods in existence during past
years in requiring a record by audits of the transactions of the year,
so that-the accounts may be exhibited on the basis of audited revenues
and expenditures, and its general features have operated satisfactorily.
Approximately seven-eighths of the total yearly payments of the
Government are made through disbursing officers and agents, whose
accounts of disbursements are subsequently rendered, and which
under existing law and the practice thereunder require from four to
six months after the close of each quarter of the fiscal year for the
preparation, transmission, administrative examination, and audit
thereof before the results can be entered in the records of the Department. This condition operates to delay to a late period final action
on the accounts for the last quarter of the year involving a very considerable part of the year's business.
For these reasons it is impracticable to present or publish at this
time complete statements of audited revenues and expenditures for the
year 1908, and the statements of receipts and disbursements for the
last fiscal year are therefore continued on the basis of warrants
issued.
DISBURSING OFFICERS.
A necessity exists for the good of the service and for the relief of
the disbursing officers of the several executive departments, and of
the independent bureaus and offices located at the seat of Government, that during their sickness or unavoidable absence, or while on
their annual leaves of absence, authority be vested by law in some^
clerk in the same office to act in the place of such sick or absent disbursing officer, and to discharge the duties thereof during such sickness or absence; the official bond of such disbursing officer to be held
to cover and apply to the acts of the person appointed to act in his
place, and the clerk so appointed to be subject to all the liabilities and
penalties prescribed by law for his official misconduct while he is so
acting.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
79'
I recommend that appropriate legislation to this end be enacted.
I t is not the intent of this recommendation, however, to extend the
leave of absence now allowed by law to disbursing officers.
SURETY BONDS.
The law makes no adequate provision for effective Federal supervision of surety companies authorized under the act of August 13,
1894, to do business with the United States. A recapitulation bf the
business for the last fiscal year shows that, including customs, internal revenue, and contract bonds, 500,000 bonds were required by the
Government with penalties aggregating $4,000,000,000, and that
approximately one-fourth of this amount was written by surety
companies.
On February 1, 1907, the Secretary of the Treasury limited the
amount for which any bonding or surety company would be accepted
on any one bond to 10 per cent of its capital and surplus. This regulation has been twice revised and adopted by all of the executive
departments and is now in operation. I t has been productive of
beneficial results and should be enacted into law.
The function performed by the Treasury Department in supervising the advancement of public funds and the auditing and settling
of accounts has brought under its immediate review practically all
of the bonding business in which the Government is interested. Bonds
of all other executive departments submitted to it for this purpose are
certified by the Treasury Department as to the authorities of the
executing officers of the surety companies and as to legal sufficiency;
and the financial and other statements showing the condition of these
companies are rendered to and passed upon by the Treasury Department, the information thus obtained being made available to the
other departments. This information, disclosing as it does in a general way the business methods and financial condition of the bonding
companies, emphasizes the need of further inquiry along these lines.
This, however, can not effectively be done without the use of a small
sum, which I recommend be appropriated for the purpose. Five
thousand dollars will be adequate for the next year and this amount
will be included in the annual estimates.
I renew the recommendations contained in my report of last year
as follows:
The law should be amended so as to terminate the liability of the
sureties on a bond as to future transactions after a new bond has been
executed as required by law for the same class of disbursements.
The law relating to the liability of the sureties upon the bonds of
assistant treasurers should also be amended so as to authorize a
bonded deputy to act in the event of a vacancy by death or otherwise
80
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
of an assistant treasurer, or by making the bond of such officer liable
for the acts of the deputy until the appointment of his successor.
Only the Treasurer of the United States can now act in case of the
death of an assistant treasurer.
The law should also be amended which provides that the estate of
a deceased customs officer shall be liable for the acts of his deputy
until the appointment of his successor. I t sometimes happens that
such officers have no such estates as would afford the Government
adequate protection. The law should specifically make the sureties
on the bond of the deceased collector liable for the acts of the deputy,
or the deputy should be separately bonded.
The law prescribing a form of bond for customs officers should also
be amended and the adoption of a proper form should be left to the
Secretary of the Treasury as in the case of most other bonds. Because
of the fact that the form of these bonds is recited in the law it
becomes necessary to require, in some cases, six or eight separate bonds
from such officers for the disbursement of funds which might properly
be assigned to them by the Secretary under one official bond if the
law authorized the requirement of a bond sufficiently broad in its
terms to cover such disbursements.
PRINTING AND BINDING.
The expenditures for printing and binding for the entire Treasury
service amounted to $338,790.40, as follows:

The appropriations made by the Congress of late years for stationery
supplies have not kept pace with the needs of the service, and in consequence the Department has been embarrassed by lack of sufficient
funds. Increased demands for supplies have been felt especially in
the branches connected with the internal revenue and customs, the
finances, and the currency.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Attention is called to the objectionable method of appropriating
for 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 thirteen different appropriations reimburse the stationery appropriation, to the
amount (this year) of $73,180.94. This method is cumbersome, dilatory, and expensive, and serves no good purpose. Under this method
contractors' bills for supplies furnished can not be paid as promptly
as they ought to be on account of the delay experienced in o|)taining
repay credits. Eepay accounts are not approved by the auditor in
the absence of the receipts of consignees for supplies furnished to
them, and these receipts, in inany 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 legislation to that end is recommended.
HALL OF RECORDS.
Attention is invited to the following letter, recommending that
provision be made for the erection of a hall of records in this city,
which recommendation I renew at this time:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, March 7, 1908.
SIB : The earnest consideration of the Congress is invited to the necessity for
providing, at the present session, an appropriation for the erection of a hall
of records in this city in which the uncurrent files of the various executive departments and other branches of the Government may be stored.
This matter has been agitated for many years, and on March 3, 1902, was
made the subject of a special communication from the Secretary of the Treasury to the chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
(Senate Document No. 236), in which the pressing need for such a building
was fully set forth. Since that time,° under authority of an act of Congress
approved March 3, 1903, square No. 143, situated between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth and E and F streets NW., has been acquired for a hall of records,
and title thereto is now vested in the Government. Recommendations have been
made yearly for an appropriation for a building to be erected on this site, and
in 1904 tentative plans for such a building were prepared by the Supervising
Architect of this Department.
The necessity for some structure of the character described grows constantly.
An investigation made in 1906 showed that the files then on hand in all tb©
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
83
buildings under the control of the Treasury Department in Washington, and in
space rented exclusively therefor, occupied over 1,000,000 cubical feet of space,
and that they were accumulating at the rate of 25,000 cubical feet per annum.
The condition of these uncurrent files is precarious in the extreme. In many
instances they occupy space^which is frequented by the public and are unpro- ]
tected in any way from depredation. Some of them are stored in rented build-;
ings which are not fireproof, and are liable at any moment to be destroyed by
fire. All of the available space in the different buildings under the control of
this Department is now occupied, as well °as two and one-half fioors in a large
storage building for which the Department pays an annual rental of $8,000, and,
in addition, the Department is compelled to use corridors and other valuable
space which is badly needed for the transaction of current business.
While these files are referred to as " uncurrent," it must be borne in mind that
reference is made to them almost constantly; that in most instances they pertain to questions of great importance; that they have been accumulating since
the organization of the Government,.and that their destruction by fire would
cause almost irreparable injury, confusion, and delay in the transaction of
the public business. It is therefore absolutely necessary that sufficient space
be provided to assemble them in such a manner that they may be of ready
access. They are now inaccessible for reference, except with great labor, on
account of insufficient space, and at the same time are daily exposed to loss,
decay, and accidents which may at any time destroy them in whole or in part.
While there is no recent data covering the other executive departments and
governmental establishments, it is believed that similar conditions prevail
in all.
In my opinion there are few, if any, public improvements here for which
there is greater need than for a hall of records, and the matter is presented
with the earnest hope that action will be taken at this session looking to the
erection of such a building.
Respectfully,
GEO. B . CORTELYOU,
Secretary.
To the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SEPARATE B U I L D I N G FOR AUDITORS.
The construction o£ a separate building in the city of Washington
to accommodate the offices of the various auditors is urgently needed.
At the present time these offices are located in various buildings
throughout the city. Not only is this inconvenient in the administration of business, but the rents which are paid for quarters for these
auditors annually amount to a considerable sum. The following is a
statement of the space occupied by the various auditors and the
amounts paid for rented quarters:
The auditors for the Treasury, War, Interior, and (in part) Post-Office Departments are in buildings owned by the Government.
The auditors for the Navy, State and Other Departments, and Post-Office (in
part) are now in rented quarters.
The Auditor for the Treasury Department occupies 20,719 square feet.
The Auditor for the War Department occupies 83,721 square feet, of which
amount 13,545 square feet are in rented quarters at a cost of $2,500 per annum.
The Auditor for the Post-Office Department occupies 95,407 square feet, of
which 20,773 square feet is in rented quarters, at a cost of approximately
$8,000 per annum.
84
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The Auditor for the State and Other Departments is entirely in rented
quarters, and occupies 15,000 square feet, at a cost of $8,500 per annum.
The Auditor for the Navy Department occupies 15,120 square feet, in rented
quarters at a cost of $11,980 per annum.
Quarters for the Auditor for the Interior Department, comprising 41,246
square feet, at a cost of approximately $15,250 per annum, are now under consideration.
In addition, a portion of a building on E street is rented for storage purposes,
at an annual cost of $3,000.
It will be seen that approximately 106,000 square feet is rented at
an annual cost of $49,230. In addition, the space occupied by the
auditors in Government buildings could be better used for the accommodation of other bureaus and offices. For example, the quarters
now assigned to the Auditor for the Treasury Department, if vacated
by him, could be used to accommodate the Life-Saving Service and
the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service, both of which in the
interests of good administration shouldTbe located in the main Treasury building. The Life-Saving Service pays annually $5,136 for
quarters.
It is estimated that by the construction of an adequate building for
auditors' offices approximately $60,000 could be saved annually in
rent, in addition to facilitating very greatly the administration of
public business and affording additional space for a number of
bureaus that at the present time are unduly cramped.
A building to accommodate the various auditors and to allow for a
reasonable increase should contain 7,500,000 cubic feet and would cost
approximately $3,750,000, exclusive of site.
REDUCING UNNECESSARY MOVEMENTS OF GOLD.
The advantage of reducing to a minimum the transfer of gold between the financial centers of the world has bee'n often discussed, but
has not yet been the subject of official action. Economy in such transfers has come about automatically from time to time by the extension
of the system of bills of exchange and of the use of international
credits. Distrust of these resources in times of crisis—the very
moment at which they are most needed—invokes the demand for
physical gold. Even under ordinary conditions, the interval between
the outward crop movement from this country and the payment for
foreign merchandise imported in the spring is often marked by shipments of gold in both directions, which the mechanism of international exchange has not yet found the means of entirely avoiding.
The movement of gold was exceptionally large last autumn and
spring because of the disturbance to credit which so seriously affected
not only the American market but the markets of other countries.
The three months of November and December, 1907, and January,
1908, witnessed imports of gold into the United States to the amount
of $118,822,870. On the other hand, the three months of April, May,
SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
85
and June, 1908, witnessed exports of gold from the United States
to the amount of $49,658,972. For the twelve months ending October
31, 1908, total imports of gold were $150,234,064, and total exports
were $72,509,564. The excess of imports stood at $77,724,500, as
against an excess of exports for the twelve months ending October
31, 1907, of $5,513,526. o
I t would seem that means might be devised to diminish the transfer
of physical gold under these conditions. That credits or loans of
gold might be extended more generously than at present by one nation
to another in times of stress was proposed soon after the crisis of a
year ago. I t has been suggested that an international conference be
called of representatives of the ministries of finance and of the great
state banks with a view to more prompt and effective cooperation
in emergencies. I t is not proposed here to enter upon a general discussion of this subject, but if such a conference should be held, there
might well be included in the list of topics to be considered the creation of an international gold certificate, which would represent for
all practical purposes the transfer of gold coin or bullion without the
necessity of transferring the metal itself.
Such an arrangement would require international sanction, either
by an agreement among the leading banks of the world to issue a
transferable international certificate upon a certain amount of gold
coin, definitely set aside for the purpose, or an agreement through
diplomatic channels among the several governments to some similar
arrangement under official control.
I n the present advanced state of public faith and of financial responsibility there is apparently no serious obstacle to reaching^ such
an agreement if measures are once set on foot by those capable of
carrying it out. The issue of such international certificates, payable
on demand, like the gold certificate of the United States, would not
prevent the transfer of the physical gold when desired. The certificates might be redeemable in all countries which were parties to the
agreement, without regard to the country in which they were issued,
and it might be left to those in charge of the gold funds to determine
from.time to time whether physical transfers of gold were required.
Actual transfer might be advisable where there was reason to believe
that the movement was more or less permanent in character, but it
would seem that such transfers might be reduced to the minimum
where it seemed probable that the metal would be recalled by the
normal movement of trade within the space of a few months. I t is
suggested that the Secretary of the Treasury might be authorized to
receive hospitably any suggestion on this subject from abroad and
to appoint through the proper channels delegates on behalf of the
United States to any conf erence which might be assembled having the
subject within the scope of its deliberations.
86
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
T H E REGULATION OF T H E BUDGET.
A question which grows in importance with the growth of the
country is that of an economical adjustment of disbursements to
current receipts and the classification of both receipts and disbursements in such a way as to facilitate such an adjustment. The rapid
growth of net receipts and net disbursements* at intervals of ten
years since the iowest point after the civil war is indicated by the
following figures:
Year.
1878
1888
1898

$236,964,327
259,653,959
443,368,582
659,196,319
If interest on the public debt is excluded, the growth in ordinary
expenditures for carrying on the Government, including payments
for pensions and many public works, was from $135,000,000 in 1878
to $638,000,000 in 1908, or an increase in a generation of nearly 400
per cent. I t is not intended here to enter upon any criticisms of detail,
nor to minimize the benefits which have resulted from these expenditures to the health, comfort, and security of our people; but it is
desired to point out that the distribution of such immense sums
raised by taxation should be subjected to scrutiny, classification, and
coordination. The present method of dealing with the subject is
entirely lacking in system.
Under the relations of the different branches of our Government
there is practically no control by the executive department over the
appropriations made by the Congress (except by veto of the President), and no control by the Treasury or any other branch of the
Government over the amount of the estimates submitted by the
various executive departments to the Congress. The Secretary of
the Treasury is given authority to transmit to the Congress estimates
of revenue and expenditure, but he is not authorized by existing law
to reduce these estimates to conform to the receipts. Nor is any
single committee of the Congress charged with the comparison and
coordination of the appropriations for different branches of the -public service in order to distribute equitably any reductions or increases
which may be warranted by the state of the revenue. ^
From this point of view the subject is a broad one and one with
which it is not possible for a single Department to deal without the
cooperation of other Departments. The Secretary of the Treasury,
however, occupies by law a relation toward the Congress which in
many respects is one of more direct responsibility than that of the
heads of other Departments. I t is declared by statutes which have
not been repealed that the Secretary of the Treasury " shall make re
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
>
• 87
port, and give information to either branch of the legislature in person
or in writing, as may be required, respecting all matters referred to
him by the Senate or House of Eepresentatives, or which shall appertain to his office."
I t would perhaps be competent for the Congress to vest in a joint
committee the power of revising the appropriation bills, with a view
to distributing reductions and increases in an equitable manner and
with a view also to the relative importance of the objects for which
appropriations were sought. I t would seem that such a committee
on budget revision should be charged with the responsibility of keeping the expenditures of each year approximately within the revenue
of the year, or, if this could not be done without crippling branches
of the public service, that it should authorize the issue of a proper
amount of short-term obligations to bridge over the deficit of lean
years. By such a committee needless and wasteful expenditure might
be checked and the amounts saved diverted to more necessary or more
beneficial purposes.
Whatever may be found practicable in regard to the larger question
of control of the budget, something will be accomplished in promoting
scrutiny of expenditures by a proper classification of sources of revenue and objects of expenditure. I t is the intention of this Department to make modifications in the present form of Treasury
statements as soon as the merits of such changes can be carefully
weighed. The present form of daily statements is in several respects misleading. I t makes no separation between expenditures for
the ordinary service of the Government and those for permanent
public works, like river and harbor improvements, public buildings,
and the Panama Canal. I n many foreign budgets, expenditures for
permanent improvements are provided for by the issue of bonds, and
are stated in a separate account from expenditures for the maintenance of the ordinary service of the Govemment.
Putting our budget on this basis for the past fiscal year, for purposes of illustration, the account would stand as follows:

Whether or not all items which involve permanent capital improvements should be placed in a separate account may be open to question.
I t may be proper in some cases to charge them to current revenue;
but there can be no question that when bonds are actually sold by the
Government to meet the cost of an important public work, like the
Panama Canal, such expenditures should be placed in a separate account or the proceeds of the bonds sold should be included in the
receipts.
Under the present form of making up the daily Treasury statement
the proceeds of bonds sold are not counted in the receipts, but all the
money which is paid out for the purpose for which the bonds are
issued is included in expenditures; thus expenditures for the Panama
Canal and other public works appear mixed with expenditures for
maintenance of the public service. From this cause arose the large
apparent deficit for the last fiscal year, which was stated at
$58,070,201. Of total expenditures, however, the sum of $88,718,481
was expended on public works, including $38,000,000 on the Panama
Canal and $30,000,000 on rivers and harbors. Had these items been
carried to a separate account as extraordinary expenditures and their
cost met by the sale of bonds there would have been a surplus of current receipts amounting to over $30,000,000, as shown above.
There are other items, like payments of lawful money for the
redemption of bank notes, under the provisions of the act of July 14,
1890, which introduce confusion into the exhibit which the Treasury
balance sheet should make of the difference between current income
and expenditure for the maintenance of the public service.
I t is commended to the serious consideration of the Congress
whether a careful study should not be made of the entire subject of
the budget, with a view not to niggardly economies, but to applying
the money of the taxpayers in the most efficient and beneficial manner
to those objects of expenditure which are most desirable.
ECONOMIES I N
ADMINISTRATION.
There have been, under many administrations, excessive expenditures, due to one cause or another. The time may come when a session of the Congress will be given over largely to the consideration
of ways and means to reduce the operating expenses of the Government, and if it does come, and patriotic and discriminating judgment
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
89
is brought to bear on the problem, we shall see a saving of many millions of dollars with no sacrifice of efficiency of administration. Few
domestic reforms would do so much to set the people an example of
good business and economical government.
REVISION OF T H E
TARIFF.
The new administration is pledged to a fair and equitable revision
of the tariff. The necessities of the Government should be a guide,
at least in part, to the measure and character of this revision. Data
recorded in this report tell their own story. If the deficiencies reach
anything like the figures given, ample pre vision must be made, if
necessary through new subjects of taxation, to provide adequate revenue. The earnest consideration of the Cc agress is especially urged
to this phase of the subject.
CURRENCY
LEGISLATION.
The Monetary Commission created by the Congress at its last session has presented to it a great opportunity for public service. The
scope of its authority is apparently equal to the wide range of subjects
that must be considered if the existing needs of our currency system
are to be adequately met. The necessity has long existed, and during
the past year has been especially apparent, for greater flexibility
in our circulating medium, for better apportionment of bank reserves,
for ampler and more scientifically adjusted redemption facilities,
and for the adoption of other elements which shall bring the system
closer to the people of the whole country. To soundness must be
added greater effectiveness. There should be no hostility between the
banker and his customers, and to assure this, heed must be paid to just
demands that are now made by the merchant, the farmer, and the
mechanic, by workers in all lines of activity outside of the business
of banking.
The increase in our population, the development of industry, both
national and international, present problems which can not be solved
by a blind adherence to all the details of a system which, though in
many ways well adapted to our requirements and of great service to
our people, as it has been, was yet primarily the outgrowth of the
exigencies of a time of civil strife. The changed conditions call for
modifications of the existing system, or for the ultimate establishment, if it can be safeguarded so as to keep it out of the domain of
politics on the one hand and the control of great moneyed interests
on the other, of a central institution of issue and reserve.
What is essentially a question of finance is embodied in the proposition to establish postal savings banks. If it is decided to establish
such a system, the conditions under which it is put in operation should
be made to harmonize fully with the general financial operations of
the Government.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The recent currency measure has served a useful purpose and will
be available until the recommendations of the commission can be considered and acted upon. But we have had unfortunate experiences
in our past financial disturbances, and though their recurrence may at
this time appear to be a thing of the distant future, we should not be
satisfied with what is essentially a temporary measure, however satisfactory it may be as such.
^
With the likelihood of an early return of the more prosperous conditions which have obtained up to within the past twelvemonth,
encouraging renewed activity in all' fields of enterprise, we should be
still further fortified by wisely considered, comprehensive, and
thoroughgoing currency legislation, which shall not only meet the
normal needs of all sections of the country and all classes of our population, as well as facilitate our foreign exchanges, but which shall
promptly and adequately respond to those extraordinary de'mands
which manifest themselves at such seasons as the crop-moving
periods, and at the same time be effective in sudden crises, which no
financial system, however strong, can wholly avert.

Treasury notes might be exchanged for United States bonds to July
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
t h a t no more of the United States legal-tender notes shall be canceled or retired, and that when any of said notes are redeemed or
received into the Treasury under any law, from any source whatever, and 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.
T h e 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 the 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 coinand
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—first, by exchanging the notes so redeemed for any
gold coin in the general fund of the Treasury; second, by accenting
deposits of gold coin at the Treasury or at any subtreasury ih 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 thepresent standard value,
t h e 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.

amount in United States notes was on special deposit in the Treasury for their redemption and added
to the cash balance in the Treasury. These certificates, as a matter of accounts, are treated as a part

deducted from the principal of the public debt in making comparison with former years.

cash, and including outstanding bonds issued t o t h e several Pacific railroads.

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 made 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, Avith the exception of the amount outstanding August
31,1865, this being the date at which the public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 per cent to 6 per cent, a n d was redeemable on ten days'
notice after thirty days, but being constantly changing it has been considered more equitable to include the whole amount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent interest on
a n average for the 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 prepared for distribution.

REPORTS OF HEADS O F BUREAUS.
REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
O F F I C E OF THE TREASURER,
Washington, Novemher 2, 1908,
SIR: The transactions of the Treasury of the United States for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, and its condition on that and subsequent dates, are presented in the annexed tables.
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES FOR 1907
AND
1908.
The usual relations between the income and outgo of the Government were unexpectedly disturbed during the greater part of the
fiscal year 1908, and as a result, the ordinary revenues were
$58,070,201.15 less tha.n the expenditures. Contrasted with the
showing for. the preceding fiscal year when the revenues were
$84,236,586.30 in excess of the expenditures, the change is not only
a surprising one, but it also emphasizes the fact that the income of
the Government is not exempt from the influences of trade depression.
The ordinary revenues and expenditures for the past two years
are recorded in the table following:

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
I t is a noteworthy fact that the total revenues for 1908 were in
excess of those of any preceding fiscal year, with the single exception
of 1907. If the expenditures of 1908 had not been in excess of those
of 1907, there would have been a surplus of $22,222,370.78, notwithstanding the decrease of $62,014,215.52 in the revenues. Thus it
becomes apparent that the trouble is not in decreasing receipts, but
the great increase of expenditures.
Fortunately the condition of the available cash balance,
$272,061,445.47, at the beginning of the fiscal year was such as to
enable the Government to meet a large deficiency in revenue without
embarrassment.
R E V E N U E S AND EXPENDITURES, FIRST QUARTERS OF 1 9 0 8 AND 1 9 0 9 .
For the first quarter of 1909 the revenues were $33,362,536.64
less than the expenditures, and as compared with the same period
in the preceding fiscal year, there was a decrease of $19,787,287.22
in the revenues and an increase of $9,155,985.50 in the expenditures.
The comparison, by items, for the two quarters follows:

PAYMENT OF SPANISH INDEMNITY CERTIFICATES.
The Secretary of the Treasury on January 13, 1908, gave notice to
the holders of the Spanish indemnity certificates of 1834 that the
department had received from the Government of Spain, through the
Department of State, the sum of $570,000, to be paid to such holders^
in full satisfaction of their certificates, the face value of which aggregated $599,850.16.^
In conformity with such notice, settlement was made to June 30 of
certificates having a face value of $591,896.03, for which the amount
of $562,441.67 was paid.
PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS.
The Secretary of the Treasury on March 3, 1908, authorized the
purchase of $1,250,000 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 $1,260,582.18.
REDEMPTION OF THE FUNDED LOAN OF 1907.
The bonds of the funded loan of 1907, having been called for
redemption, ceased to bear interest from the date of maturity, July
2, 1907. The amount of this loan outstanding November 1, 1908,
was $2,677,000.

THE PANIC OF 19Q7 AND MEASURES OF RELIEF BY THE TREASURY.
Financial conditions became very acute in New York about the
20th of October, and the Treasury Department used $37,597,000 of
its available resources for the relief of the stringency at that point
by increasing public deposits in national banks therein (as stated on
p. 161 of this report), thereby reducing its working balance to the
lowest point indicated by prudence under prevailing conditions.
There was an unusual shortage of ready cash to meet current demands,
and many national banks were unwilling to part with their currency
to cash freely the government checks, owing to the fear that they
might not be able to secure currency in return for such payment.
The Treasurer therefore directed the nine assistant treasurers to pay
or ship currency on all Treasury and Post-Office Department warrants or drafts and United States disbursing officers' checks drawn
upon any subtreasury office when presented properly indorsed and
the indorsement guaranteed by the bank presenting the same.
Under these instructions the holders of such paper were enabled to
convert it into cash upon presentation to the nearest subtreasury
without the delay usually attending the collection of such items from
the ofiicer upon whom, drawn. This action caused a formidable
amount of extra work, lasting several months, and great inconvenience to the Treasury in clearing the accounts.
The kinds of paper and amounts involved in the payments by each
office are recorded in the statement following:

The Secretary of the Treasury early in October notified depositary
banks that they would be permitted to substitute bonds acceptable
for savings-banks investments under the laws of the States of New
154
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey for government
bonds which were pledged as security for public deposits, provided
the bonds thus released were deposited for additional bank-note circulation. The offer was readily accepted by the banks, and United
States bonds to the amount of $44,109,860 were thus made available
for the issue of circulation which was^used in relieving the shortage
in currency.
The supply of United States bonds in the market available for the
issue of circulation was limited in quantity and held at such a price as
to practically make it unprofitable to the banks to buy the bonds and
take out circulation thereon. To relieve this situation and to counteract the premium on currency, the Secretary of the Treasury on
November 17, 1907, announced that he would receive bids for an issue
of $50,000,000 in Panama Canal bonds under the act of June 28, 1902,
and $100,000,000 in 3 per cent certificates of indebtedness under the
act of June 13, 1898. Under ordinary conditions, the proceeds of
these sales would have been deposited in the Treasury, thereby withdrawing that amount of money from circulation. But in this instance
to turn the sale into a relief measure as well as to make it an inducement to banks to purchase the new issues with a view to making them
a basis for circulation, it was deemed advisable to allow the banks
to which awards of Panama Canal bonds were made, to retain 90
per cent, and those to which awards of certificates of indebtedness
were made, 75 per cent of the purchase price as additional deposits.
The amount of each class of obligation sold was, Panama Canal loan
$24,631,980 and certificates of indebtedness $15,436,500. These
securities were almost wholly absorbed by banks and were used as a
basis for increasing the bank-note circulation or securing public
deposits.
The accumulated balances arising from our foreign-trade relations
placed a number of the financial institutions of the country in a
very advantageous position for importing gold. During the month
of October engagements of $24,000,000 in gold for. import were
announced, and by January 1, 1908, such imports aggregated more
than $100,000,000.^
The inflow of this large amount of gold exerted a very great influence in restoring confidence, and relieved the pressing needs for
currency in those localities favored by its distribution. The
Treasury, through the medium of the general fund, facilitated this
movement by receiving gold deposits of $52,462,051 at the subtreasury in New York during November and December, making
payments therefor at other points as follows:
Washington
Boston
Cincinnati

RESERVE AND TRUST FUNDS.
The amount of gold coin and certificates in circulation seem to
supply all demands for the precious metal. There are numerous
transactions in the reserve fund, but they are not indicative of a
desire to obtain gold in exchange for notes redeemable therefrom.
The redemptions from the reserve fund during the fiscal year 1908

TREASURER.
were, in United States notes, $21,278,307, and in Treasury notes,
$41,705, making a total of $21,320,012. I n accordance with the
provisions of law, the redeemed notes were immediately transferred^
to the general fund in exchange for gold which restored the reserve
to the fixed am.ount.
The net growth in the volume of the trust funds during the last
.fiscal year was $139,106,000. The gold coin increased ^141,539,000,
while there was a decrease of $2,433,000 in standard silver dollars.
These funds are held for the redemption of the certificates and notes
outstanding for which they are respectively pledged.

The excess of ordinary expenditures over revenues, by warrants
issued during the fiscal year 1908, was $58,070,201.15, but this
amount is not reflected in the available cash balance on June 30,
1908, upon comparison with like cash of twelve months earlier, for
the reason that the receipts and disbursements on certain public-debt
items and two miscellaneous items are not included in the^ account of
ordinary revenues and expenditures.

AVAILABLE CASH BALANCE.
The reversal of financial conditions during the last year has resulted
in a considerable reduction of the available cash balance in the

its financial transactions stands on the same plane as the merchant
who in periods of prosperity accumulates a fund that enables him to
meet his obligations when conditions are reversed. I n previous
years the excess of revenues over expenditures favored the accumulation of an increased balance in the Treasury, which, during the recent
period of depression, furnished the means to continue the operations
of the Government.
The balance in the Treasury at the end of each month from January, 1902, is stated in Table No. 31, page 229 of the ap'pendix; and

GOLD IN THE TREASURY.
The steady flow of gold into the Treasury continues to interest the
students of finance at home as well as abroad and to excite an absorbing study of the resources of a country so favored in the distribution
of the precious metal. There was a net increase of $100,196,952 in
the Treasury holdings of gold during the fiscal year 1908, an amount
equal to 66 per cent of the growth in the general stock of gold in the
country during the year.
By October 31, 1908, the holdings were $1,039,298,181, an increase
of $34,409,499 since July 1, 1908.
The total amount of gold in the Treasury on July 1 in each year
from 1897, set apart for the respective uses, is here stated:

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
BONDS HELD AS SECURITY FOR NATIONAL BANKS.
At the close of the fiscal year 1908 the United States bonds held
in trust for national banks to secure their circulating notes amounted
to $628,172,130, an increase of $69,807,470 as compared with the
amount held at the close of the previous y6ar.
The increase of public moneys in national banks during the financial stringency in October, 1907, and following months called for the
pledge of unusual amounts of obligations to secure the deposits.
The amount of bonds held to secure deposits attained a maximum
at $296,338,417.26 on December 31, 1907, and was reduced to
$180,509,419 by the close of fiscal year 1908.' ^
The transactions relative to deposits and withdrawals of bonds
during the fiscal year 1908 are recorded in the table following:

TREASUEER.
WITHDRAWAL OF BONDS TO SECURE CIRCULATION.
The deposits of lawful money in the Treasury for the retirement of
national-bank notes under the provisions of the act limiting such
deposits to $108,000,000 annually, amounted to $37,112,837.50 during the fiscal year 1908. From the foregoing it will be seen that the
banks have availed of b u t little more than one-third of the option;
therefore the law is not restrictive on retirements until the limit of
$9,000,000 per month has been reached. The largest monthly
deposit was $10,735,750 in February, which apparently was in excess
of the limit; but of this amount $4,290,500 was deposited in subtreasuries near the close of January and was not taken up on the
books of this office until February.
The monthly deposits are recorded in Table No. 64 on page 270 of
this report.
NATIONAL BANKS DESIGNATED AS DEPOSITARIES
STATES.
OF THE
UNITED
The Secretary of the Treasury deemed it expedient to increase the
number of depositary banks during the last fiscal year. The object
to be attained in selecting batiks as depositaries of public moneys is
to afford to the business community the necessary means for promoting its transactions upon a normal basis of money supply, and the
aim has been to designate banks in every part of the country, so that
the benefit arising from the use of the funds thus distributed would
extend even to the most remote localities.
The growth in the number of depositaries which qualified is shown
in the statement following:

PUBLIC DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL BANKS.
The annual report of the Treasurer of the United States for the.
fiscal year 1907 included the transactions relative to public deposits
in national banks to October 15, 1907, at which time the balance
therein to the credit of the general fund was $162,708,310.90. Under
the plan of allotment adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury
161
TREASURER.
during the latter part of August, 1907, with a view to furnishing funds
to aid in the movement of the crops, the deposits in banks had
gradually grown. The allotment of deposits to the banks selected
was made principally to relieve local needs for currency, but it
was observed that many of the banks had their allotments placed
with their correspondents in New York City, influenced no doubt
by the high rates of interest prevailing there, owing to the stringency
in the money market.
The transactions in the New York stock market from October
19 to 26 produced a serious break in values. Public confidence
was shaken thereby to such an extent that it precipitated withdrawals of individual deposits from banks and trust companies.
The situation was critical and created great anxiety throughout
financial circles; strong appeals were made for relief by an increase
of the public deposits in national banks. The Secretary of the
Treasury, impressed with the responsibility that attaches to the
proper use of the public moneys held in the Treasury, which to all
intents and purposes are additional reserves back of the credits of
the country, hastened to the scene of financial disturbance. From
close observation and consultation with those in touch with business conditions he was convinced that instant relief only could
avert a panic which might be ruinous in its results. Accordingly
he directed that the public deposits be increased in the depositary
banks in New York City, upon a pledge with the Treasurer of securities acceptable for savings-bank investments. The amount transferred to the banks under these instructions during the period from
October 21 to October 31, 1907, was $37,597,000.
The pressure for relief was not confined to New York City, but
came from other commercial centers, and in response thereto the
Secretary of the Treasury, under like conditions, directed that the
public deposits in some of the depositary banks located in Chicago,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, St. Louis, and San Francisco be increased
either by a direct transfer of funds from the Treasury or by retaining
the receipts deposited in the banks from ordinary sources. The
amount of increase allotted to the depositaries in the respective
cities was as follows:
Chicago, 111
St. Louis, Mo
Pittsburg, Pa
Cincinnati, Ohio

1,127, 000

San Francisco
Total
|500, 000
6,303,700
In several instances the depositaries were dilatory in pledging
with the Treasurer the securities required; the balan(3e in banks to
the credit of the general fund increased to $207,786,733.22 by
October 31, 1907.
The withdrawals of individual deposits from banks and trust
companies and the withholding of the same from circulation continued; banks in almost every section of the country limited their
payments in currency, and as a result merchants, manufacturers,
and other business interests found it necessary to retain their cash
receipts to meet current demands. This reversal of the ordinary
business methods caused, a great scarcity of currency throughout
the country. The depositary banks in the interior, while receiving
collections in the usual manner, mostly in checks, were unable to
make prompt transfers to subtreasuries in cash or by draft on their

city correspondents, as had been the previous custom, because of
the refusal to honor such drafts, or, if honored, a charge was made
by the correspondents for the currency so paid. All the power and
available resources of the Treasury were used for the relief of these
conditions; additional public deposits were placed in banks in"
various sections of the country where there was ari unusual pressure
for currency, as follows:

The banking institutions of the country imported unusual amounts
of gold early in November, and when the gold was received in New
York conditions immediately improved in that city to such an extent
that it was deemed expedient by the Secretary of the Treasury to
withdraw a part of the pubhc deposits from the depositary banks
therein for use in other places, and accordingly $5,125,000 was
recalled, to be paid in five equal daily instalhnents from and after
November 13,1907, as follows:
The Chemical National Bank, N e w Y o r k

During the month of December some additional deposits of public
moneys were made with banks in localities where such funds aided
in restoring confidence and relieved a local demand for currency.
The great amount of gold arriving at New York afforded substantial aid in restoring confidence in that money center, and the premium
on currency disappeared about the 1st of January, 1908, as the panic
subsided and as hoarded funds were gradually restored to circulation. So rapidly did conditions improve that in the latter partof
December the Secretary of the Treasury recalled $6,916,000 of public
deposits from depositary banks in New York City, to be paid in ten'
equal daily installments commencing December 27, 1907. The
amounts recalled from the respective banks were as follows:

,
$11,435, 200
17,150, 950
A number of the depositaries anticipated the payment of the
amounts required of them, and thereby the balance in the banks to
the credit of the general fund February 29, 1908, was reduced to
$219,543,719.13. The banks promptly returned the amounts called
as stated in the foregoing and voluntarily added thereto $930,700,
making a total of $29,516,850 returned under the call. The balance
in banks to the credit of the general fund on March 31, 1908, was
$190,518,388.93.
On April 28, 1908, the Secretary of the Treasury, owing to local
conditions prevailing in the District of Columbia^ deemed it advisable to increase the public deposits in depositary banks located
therein to the amount of $3,000,000, and directed that $2,000,000
of the amount be transferred to the banks at once and $1,000,000
on May 28, 1908, to be returned to the Treasury in ten equal monthly
installments payable from and after July 1, 1908. He also issued
a call on 369 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 May 9, 1908
Payable on or before May 23, 1908
$16, 655,000
24, 798, 000
The amounts were promptly returned by the banks at the time
designated, and in addition thereto $387,000, making a total of
$41,840,000 returned under the call. The balance in banks to the
credit of the general fund on May 31, 1908, was $154,049,500.75.
On June 10, 1908, the Secretary of the Treasury, in accordance
with the provisions of the fifteenth section of the act of May 30,
1908, fixed the amount of public Aioneys needed in each regular
depositary bank for the transaction of the public business and notified such depositaries that they would be required to pay interest at
1 per cent per annum on the average monthly amount of public
deposits held in excess of the sum needed, to be computed from
June 15, 1908, and payable July 1, 1908, and thereafter January 1
and July 1 in each year. The temporar}^ depositaries were also
notified.that they would be required to pay interest at the same rate
on the average monthly amount of public deposits held.
No material change in the balance in banks to the credit of the
general fund was made during June, and at the close of the year the
amount was $149,004,924.29, from revised returns.
The Secretary of the Treasury on July 2, 1908, issued a call on
the depositary banks for the return to the Treasury of $33,261,270
of the public moneys deposited with them, payable July 15, 1908.
The banks responded promptly and returned the amounts required.
Overpayments to the amount of $141,850 are also recorded in the
settlement of this call, making the total amount paid $33,403,120.
166
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
No other transactions of note relative to balances in banks occurred
during the month of July, and the amount therein to the credit of
the general fund at the close of that month was $118,836,354.59
and remained practically at that figure during the months of August,
September, and October, 1908.
UNAVAILABLE FUNDS.
Attention is again invited to the necessity for legislation that will
clear the accounts kept in this office of unavailable funds and relieve
the Treasurer of the United States from further accountability for
amounts which have passed from his control without fault or negligence on his part. This subject has been called to the attention of
Congress by many of my predecessors and has received some consideration by committees in the Senate and House of Eepresentatives,
but the desired legislation has not been enacted.
In the Forty-fourth Congress, first session, the Committee on
Finance in the Senate submitted a report (No. 371) in which, on
)age 3, reference is made to this question of unavailable moneys as
ollows:
f
All money in the Treasury, wherever it may be deposited or placed for disbursement or custody, is charged to the Treasurer of the United States. It is obvious, however, that this money may be lost without fault on the part of the Treasurer, by robbery, accident, defalcation of a subordinate officer, misconduct of depositaries having
it in charge, or otherwise. Still, under the law, the Treasurer is responsible and is
charged with these sums. Such a deficit would, in the accounts of a firm, be a simple
plain entry in the profit and loss account by crediting cash and debiting the defaulter.
But from the fact before stated that money can<jiot 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 the 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.
I t 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
recedent for such legislation in the act of March 3, 1837. (5 Stat.
EI.,An178.)itemized statement of the unavailable funds will be found
in
Table No. 22 on page 208 of this report.

RATIO OF GOLD TO THE TOTAL STOCK OF MONEY.
There was a noticeable increase in the ratio of the gold to the total
stock of money during the last fiscal year; the advance was from
47.06 per cent July 1, 1907, to 47.89 per cent July 1, 1908.
The volume of gold in the general stock of money in the country
and its ratio thereto on July 1 in each year since 1897 is given in the

CIRCULATION AND POPULATION.
The money in circulation for the past eleven years has steadily
increased; the growth per capita advanced from $22.87 in 1897 to
$34.72 in 1908. The population of the United States has more than
doubled every thirty years, while the wealth of the nation has more
than doubled every twenty years. There is legitimate demand for
an enormous amount of money in developing the growing industries
and expanding the trade relations of the country, but there is no
method employed by which that demand, per capita, can be measured.
Some rule of action should be formulated that would not be so
misleading, and one that would more accurately measure the volume
of money required for the increasing activities of business. I t is my
opinion that the volume of currency should not be based upon the
individual man or per capita, but upon the voluii\e of products produced by man, measured by the market value thereof.
Data relative to circulation and population at the end of each
fiscal year from 1897 will be found in the table following:

CONDITION OF THE UNITED STATES PAPER CURRENCY.
The paper circulation issued directly by the Government is in
better condition at the present time than for many years past,
owing to the replacing by new issues in kind of large amounts of
worn notes and certificates returned for redemption during the past
three years. However, there is necessity for legislation that will
equalize the expense of redemption between the different sections of
the country, and that will require the return of all worn currency to
the Treasury when received by depositary banks and postmasters of
the first and second class.
The national-bank circulation is kept in good condition mainly by
the legislative provision that requires the banks to bear the expense
of transporting their circulating notes to the Treasury for redemption. I t is submitted that the Government, in justice to the people
of all sections, should maintain and keep its paper issues in good
condition, and that for sanitary reasons it should provide for its
transportation to the Treasury for redemption.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
UNITED STATES NOTES.
The United States notes issued and redeemed during the last fiscal
year were $123,610,000, an amount that has been exceeded but once
(in 1905) since the close of the war of the rebellion. The demand
for small denominations of currency is at all times urgent, and the
gradual growth in the volume of United States notes of the denominations of $5 and under outstanding, by substitution for the higher
denominations redeemed and retired, is the result of the efforts made
by the department to supply the demand.
The amounts issued and redeemed, by denominations, during the
fiscal year 1908 are recorded in the table following:

TREASURY NOTES OF 1 8 9 0 .
The issue of Treasury notes of 1890 for the purchase of silver
bullion began on August 19, 1890, and from that date to November
1, 1893 (the date of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the act),
the Government had purchased 168,674,682.53 fine ounces, at a-cost
of $155,931,002, for which Treasury notes had been paid.
Under the provisions of the act of July 14, 1890, all Treasury notes
redeemed in standard silver dollars are canceled and retired. Also,
sections 5 and 8 of the act of March 14, 1900, provide for the cancellation and retirement of such notes to an amount equal to the coinage
of standard silver dollars and the cost of the bullion used in the
coinage of subsidiary silver purchased with such notes. The total
amount of Treasury notes retired under the foregoing provisions has
been as follows:
Retired on account of redemption in silver dollars
$84,393, 976
Retired on account of coinage of silver dollars and substitution of silver
certificates
44, 954, 299
Retired on account of coinage of subsidiary silver
21, 600, 727
Total canceled and retired to J u n e 30, 1908
150, 949,002
There remained outstanding June 30, 1908, but $4,982,000, offset
by an equal amount of standard silver dollars held in the trust
funds for their redemption when presented.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
The amount of gold coin actually used in, the channels of trade is
less than one-half of the general stock of gold coin in the country,
owing to the increasing popularity of the gold certificates, which
are the representatives of gold coin deposited in the Treasury under
provisions of law. The growth in the stock of gold is largely indicated by the increased volume of gold certificates outstanding.
Since 1896 the stock of gold has increased $1,016,071,331, while the
volume of gold certificates has taken on a growth of $776,965,680.
Recent legislation authorizing the issue of gold certificates of the
denomination of $10 has enlarged the resources of the Treasury for
responding to the wants of the people in the way of small denominations of currency.
The transactions in gold certificates during the fiscal year 1908
are set forth, by denominations, in the annexed table:

SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The silver certificates are issued principally in $1, $2, and $5, and
supply largely the demands for currency of the smaller denominations.
The volume of the smaller certificates became somewhat redundant
during the later months of the last fiscal year and were returned
to the department for redemption, thus necessitating the issue of
certificates of higher denominations in order to pay for redemptions
in kind.

be studied in the statement following:
Cost of each 1,000 sheets of paper delivered to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing
Cost of engraving and printing each 1,000 sheets (4,000 notes) of perfect work,
delivered to the Treasurer of the United States
Cost of sealing, separating, bundling, and issuing each 1,000 sheets (4,000
notes)

FOR ISSUE
AND AMOUNT
ISSUED.
There were 266,306,572 pieces of United States paper currency in
circulation October 1, 1908, which must be replaced when worn and
redeemed. Heretofore it has taxed the full capacity of the force
engaged in the preparation of new currency to meet the demands,
but with the increased facilities recently authoiized and installed it is
believed the output will be sufficient to provide for the accumulation
of a reserve of such denominations as may be required.

DEPOSITS OF GOLD BULLION AT THE MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICES.
The value of the new product of gold bullion, from mines and
imports, deposited at the mints and assay offices during the fiscal
year 1908 demonstrates the control that the United States has over
^the gold supplies of the world.
The amount of the precious metal deposited at each institution
during the fiscal years 1906, 1907, and 1908 is recorded here:

1908.
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 last fiscal year $250,000 in gold coin was transferred from San Francisco to Carson and $5,500,000 to Seattle to be
used in making payments for local deposits of gold bullion.
ACCUMULATION OF OOLD COIN AT SAN FRANCISCO.
In order to prevent a burdensome accumulation of gold at Treasury offices on the Pacific coast, the privilege heretofore granted
owners of bullion of depositing it in San Francisco for telegraphic
exchange on New York has been withdrawn. However, one deposit
of $235,000 for such exchange was accepted in March, 1908.
SBLIPMENTS OF CURRENCY FROM WASHINGTON.
The shipments of currency from Washington are governed largely
by the amount of worn and unfit paper money presented for redemption. As a new record for redemptions was made, in the last fiscal
year, there was a large increase in the number of packages and amount
of currency sent from the Treasury.

REDEMPTION OF NATIONAL-BANK NOTES.
The amount of national-bank notes presented for redemption, as
valued by the owners and contained in 31,511 remittances, was $349,634,341.42, a sum equal to 52.78 per cent of the average amount of
notes outstanding during the year. As verified by count the proceeds
of the remittances were $348,549,280.70. Payment of this sum was
made by checks on the subtreasuries to the amount of $172,719,195.75, by remittances of $124,175,368.95 in new United States currency and coin, and by credits of $51,654,716 in accounts. The total
number of notes redeemed was 35,221,320, and the average value of
the notes was $9.91. The $5 notes outstanding were redeemed at the
rate of 58.66 per cent, the $10 notes at 55.20 per cent, the $20 notes at
48.81 per cent, the $50 notes at 49.99 per cent, and the $100 notes at
49.84 per cent. Compared with the redemptions of the previous year,
there was an increase of $109,319,660, and of this increase $91,013,000
was presented by the banks in New York City. The total amount
presented by those banks was $193,292,000. The net addition to
the bank-note circulation during the year was $94,545,227, of which
sum $80,150,428 took place in the months of November and December. This increase in circulation appears to have appreciably stimulated redemptions during the second six months of the year, as $242,827,576 was presented for redemption in that period, as against
$106,806,765 in the first six months. The unusual .redemptions of
bank notes which commenced in January and continued through the
remainder of the year quickly exhausted the 5 per cent redemption
fund, and by June 30 the Treasury had advanced $41,992,052 in the
redemption of such notes, and the total notes on hand at that date
was $62,277,880, as against $12,377,478 on the corresponding date
of the previous year. By employing an additional force soon after
July 1 the redeemed notes held in the cash for moneys advanced by
the Treasury were assorted and disposed of by October 27, and the
balance of notes on hand was reduced to $21,691,923. The average
monthly redemptions during July to December was $17,801,127,
while the average for the months of January to June was $40,471,262.
Such variation in the volume of redemptions suggests the desirableness
to have authority to temporarily employ additional force immediately
the necessity arises, so that there could be no call on the Treasury to
advance money for the redemption of notes, for it is plain that under
188
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
the conditions that arose during the year a force sufficient for the first
half of the year would be insufficient for the second half. There were
notes assorted during the year to the amount of $298,178,914.« Of
this sum, $258,643,757.50 was charged to the 5 per cent redemption
fund, $62,194,650 as fit'for use, and $196,449,107.50 as unfit for use,
and $39,535,156.50 was charged to deposits for the retirement of
notes. The notes fit for use were forwarded by express to the respective banks of issue in 50,180 sealed packages, and those unfit for
use were delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency in 146,197
ackages for reissue. There was $328,535,358.20 in lawful money
eposited in the Treasury on account of transactions in nationalbank circulation, $260,678,988.70 for the 5 per cent fund and $67,856,369.50 for the retirement of such circulation. The total of the deposits made uncier the law limiting deposits to nine millions monthly was
$37,112,837.50. The expenses incurred for the yearns operations
amounted to $270,840.21, and they were assessed on the oanks in
proportion to theiT notes redeemed at the rate of $0.90366 per $1,000.
P
SPURIOUS ISSUES DETECTED IN 1 9 0 8 .
There has been no apparent increase of spurious issues in circulation during the last fiscal year, and this favorable condition of the
currency is owing to the vigilance of tlie Secret Service agents in
ferreting out those who perpetrate such frauds upon the public.
The spurious issues detected during the year were only $13,23*5.19 in
nominal value in all kinds.
SPECIAL TRUST FUNDS.
During the fiscal year 1908 the Central Pacific Railroad reduced
its indebtedness to the Government by the payment of two notes
amounting to $5,881,271.56, and on July 28, 1908, in the current
fiscal year, the company paid the remaining two notes of like
amount, and thus closed the account. Bonds of the company held
to secure said notes were released at the time of each payment.
Transactions during the year in the special trusts in the custody
of the Treasurer are recorded in the subjoined table:

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
report.
During the fiscal year 1908 the bonds, of the funded debt retired
amounted to $501,000, resulting in the reduction of the annual
interest charge by $18,286.50.
From July 1, 1878, to the close of the fiscal year 1908 the bonded
debt was increased by the issue of 3.65 per cent bonds amounting to
$1,254,050, and decreased by the operations of the sinking funds
and otherwise $12,757,950, makmg a net reduction of $11,503,900
and of the annual interest charge $628,758.75. The interest-bearing
bonds outstanding June 30, 1908, were $10,602,750.
Since the close of the fiscal year the debt has been further reduced
by the purchase of 3.65 per cent bonds amounting to $485,650.
This leaves outstanding November 1, 1908, $10,117,100 in bonds
bearing 3.65 per cent interest.
The retentions from 29 District of Columbia contracts were canceled during the year by the return to the contractors. of $22,350 in

EEPOET OF THE DIEECTOE OF THE MINT.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
BUREAU OF THE M I N T ,
Washington, D. 0., December 9, 1908.
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith the thirty-sixth annual
report of the Director of the Mint, covering the operations of the
mmts and assay offices of the United States for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1908, with other interesting statistics relating to coinage
and financial matters in this and other countries, which will be found
valuable in considering this report.
THE
YEAR'S OPERATIONS.
The fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, was remarkable in that there
was made at the various mmts of the United States $16,530,477.25 in
subsidiary coinage, this being the largest amount of subsidiary
coinage ever made in the United States mints in one year since 1877,
when a little over $3,000,000 more than the above amount was coined
in preparation for the resumption of specie payments. The larger
part of this coinage was made in the first half of the fiscal year, and
was wholly due to the remarkable expansion of trade during that
period. The dem:and for this character of coinage ceased as soon as
the efect of the panic of last fall began to be felt, while for several
months^p re vious to the 1st of December, 1907, there had been a
continuous absorption of the entire output of the mints. During
the last half of the year only two mints operated on subsidiary coin,
the mint at Philadelphia operating almost exclusively on gold coinage,
and the operations of the mint at San Francisco being devoted almost
entirely to the coinage work for the government of the Philippine
Islands.
NEW DESIGNS FOR THE GOLD COINAGE.
In response to a popular demand for an improvement in the
designs used on our coin, the President took steps early in the year
1905 to accomplish this result. I t was decided to make the first
change on the gold corns, and the eminent sculptor, Mr. Augustus
Saint Gaudens, was employed at the request of the President to
prepare models for all denominations of the gold coins, and with the
purpose in view of securing a much higher relief in design than was
ordinarily used in modern coinage several models were made of the
279
280
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
same design but with different heights of relief. But it was found
to be impossible to work any of the designs upon the ordinary coining
press until a third model was made with a greatly reduced rehef.
This was somewhat disappointing to those urging a high relief, and
therefore some 12,153 pieces of double eagles from the second model
were struck on a medal press and sent to such places in the United
States where a general distribution of them could be made. Of
the new Saint Gaudens double eagle perfected for coinage in the
regular way, $105,939,360 were struckJpy the close of the fiscal year.
The new designs for the eagle were also prepared by Mr. Saint
Gaudens, and are regarded by competent critics as artistic. The
standing eagle is true to nature, while the feathered head of Liberty
is a radical departure from the head heretofore appearing on any of
our coins of either gold or silver.
There were coined in eagles during the fiscal year $4,829,060 in
the new design.
BIGELOW-PRATT DESIGNS FOR THE HALF EAGLE AND QUARTER EAGLE.
Early in the present year while the President was explaining to Dr.
William Sturgis Bigelow the mechanical difficulties met with in the
effort to bring to success the double eagle and the eagle of the SaintGaudens designs, especially that referring to the commercial desire
that the coins should stack or pile to a uniform height, Doctor Bigelow became impressed with the idea that a high or strong relief of
design on a coin could be obtained by depressing the design below the
face or field of the coin, instead of raising it, as was being done in all
coinage operations, thereby the field being flat and uniform in thickness would insure a stacking, and would permit of the pieces being
piled to a uniform height.
In all other coins the wear comes on the highest point of the relief.
In these, the flat surface takes the wear and protects the relief,
which is depressed below it, the shape of the depression following the
outline of the relief. This system of countersinking a relief is one
of the oldest forms of sculpture in stone. Egypt is full of examples
of it. I t has been little used in modern times except in Japan, Where
it finds a restricted application chiefly in wood carving. I t has never
been applied to coins in modern times. The idea of so applying it
was Doctor Bigelow's. Acting upon his own responsibility, he asked
Mr. Bela L. Pratt, an artist of St. Botolph Studios, Boston, to make
an experimental design to illustrate the principle. This model was
submitted to the President, and the practicability of this new idea
in coinage appealed so strongly to him it was decided that the experiment of making a coin on this principle should be made. The design
of a real Indian head, with war bonnet of feathers,was adopted forthe
obverse side, and the President selected the design of a real eagle,
standing, for the reverse side; and JMr. P r a t t was commissioned to
prepare models for the engraver of the United States mint at Philadelphia. The model work was done during the summer and the dies
made. The results were so satisfactory that the designs were approved by the President and instructions given the mint at Philadelphia for the striking of the. coins. This coinage was commenced
in November of the present year.
DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .
281
That the artist in producing faithful representations of both the
real Indian and the real eagle has reached a remarkable degree of
success, persons familiar with those subjects must attest. The engraving work, executed by Mr. Charles E . Barber, engraver of the
United States mint at Philadelphia, is remarkably fine and sharp in
detail, showing consummate skill and an artistic hand.
THE MEDAL DEPARTMENT OF THE MINT AT
PHILADELPHIA.
The medal department of the mint at Philadelphia is now equipped
with the most powerful and modern presses and other apparatus for
the manufacture of medals of every character. During the last two
years there have been made for the War and Navy departments over
100,000 bronze medals, and the necessary bars for mounting the same,
at a much less cost than the same could have been procured from
private firms. No valid reason exists why all national medals should
not be made by the medal department of the mint at Philadelphia.
COST OF COINAGE AS SHOWN BY THE COST REPORTS.
The system of keeping account of the expenditures incidental to
the manufacture of coin, which was inaugurated last year, has been
improved and perfected so that now the figures shown therein can be
deemed reliable as giving a close estimate of the actual cost of coinage
of the different denominations. This system is based upon the
actual coinage costs only, such as ingot making, alloy, coining department operations, and the cost of administration, bu^ does not
take into account the cost of making the coinage dies used. For the
first time in the history of mint operations it is thus made possible to
make a report on the cost of coinage.
The following statement shows the average cost per thousand
pieces for each denomination coined during the fiscal year at all of
the mints as shown b y t h e cost reports kept by them:

REFINING.
The installation of an electrolytical. refinery plant in the mint at
San Francisco has been completed. Experience already had as to
the cost of the operating of the same is such as to justify the behef
that in the near future it will be possible to reduce the charges to
depositors of bullion for parting and refining. For the mints the
electrolytical processes of refining possess many advantages over
the old acid processes. In the first place there is little or no loss of
gold or silver in the operations. Then, again, deposits are made containing small and minute particles of platinum that were heretofore
lost in parting and refining by the acid process, but are now recovered
and inure to the benefit of the Government. The amount contained
in any one deposit is so small as to make it impracticable to account
to the depositor for the same. If all deposits were treated individually the cost of extracting the platinum would be much greater than
its value. By treating the deposits in large quantities with other
bullion the platinum is recovered without any additional expense to
the Government. >
Electrolytical refining plants hav^ already been installed in the
mints at Philadelphia and Denver.
ENLARGEMENT OF ASSAY OFFICE AT NEW YORK.
Under the act of June 30, 1906, to increase the limit of cost of
certain public buildings, authorizing the purchase of sites therefor,
and for the erection and completion of public buildings, and for other
purposes, the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized to enter into
contract for the remodeling of the United States assay office at New
York. Under the authority conferred in the act the old building in
which refinery operations were conducted was demolished. Specifications were prepared and proposals invited for the construction
of a suitable building in lieu thereof. Upon opening proposals it
appeared that the amount appropriated would not permit of an
award of contract for the construction of a building in accordance
with specifications.
DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .
288
An urgent necessity exists for the erection of this building at an
early date. The part of the building formerly used for refinery purposes having been torn down, there are no facilities for parting and
refining bullion, making it necessary to transport all crude and
unparted bullion to the mint at Philadelphia at the expense of the
Government to be parted and refined.
IMPROVEMENT IN MELTING.
In 1899, what was then considered a great improvement in meltingfurnace fuel was made by the introduction of gas for melting bullion ^
instead of coal and coke; another improvement is now made by
using fuel oil instead of gas. The mints at Denver and San Francisco
have demonstrated that oil is not only more efiective but very much
cheaper than gas. One of the main features in favor of oil-burning
apparatus is that oil can be stored at or in the building in sufficient
quantities to provide a working supply that will allow the furnaces to
be operated for a period of several weeks. • With the use of oil the
number of melts made per day has been increased greatly. The
first cost of installation of furnaces and generating apparatus is
greatly reduced and the actual cost of melting cheaper. The fuel oil
used at Denver and San Francisco is obtained from the local oil fields
of Colorado and California.
THE RESTORATION OF THE MOTTO.
The motto ^^In God we trust ^' was first placed upon the bronze
2-cent piece authorized to be coined by the act of September 22,
1864. Section 5 of the act of March 3, 1865, authorizing the coinage
of the 3-cent piece, provided for the placing of the motto on such
coins as would admit thereof. This provision was enacted under
section 18 of the act of February 12, 1873. The motto was first
placed on the gold and silver coins (with the exception of the dime,
which was too small) January 1, 1866.
Section 3517 of the Revised Statutes of the United States adopted
by the act of Congress dated June 22, 1874, did not provide for the
placing of the motto on any of the coins. The motto continued to be
placed on the coins upon which it had previously appeared until the
adoption, in 1907, of the new designs of the double eagle and the
eagle, from which it was omitted, the inscriptions and legends being
confined to those authorized by section 3517 of the Revised Statutes.
May 18, 1908, an act was passed by Congress restoring the motto
^^In God we trust'' on the coins of the United States, to take eff'ect
thirty days^after its passage. The motto appears on all gold and
silver coins struck since July 1, 1908, with the exception of the dime.
AN ACT Providing for the restoration of the motto "In God we trust" on certain denominations of
the gold and silver coins of the United States.
Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That the motto "In God we trust," heretofore inscribed on
certain denominations of the gold and silver coins of the United States of America,
shall hereafter be inscribed upon all such gold and silver coins of said denominations
as heretofore.
SEC. 2. That this Act shall take effect thirty days after its approval by the President.
Approved, May 18, 1908.
284
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
ASSAY OFFICE AT SALT LAKE CITY.
The following act was passed by Congress May 30, 1908, providing
for the establishment of an assay office at Salt Lake City, Utah:
AN ACT To establish an assay oflace at Salt Lake City, State of Utah.
Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assemhled, That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized and
required to establish an assay oflBce of the United States at Salt Lake City, in the
State of Utah; said assay office to be conducted under the provisions of the Act entitled
''An Act revising and amending the laws relating to the mints and assay offices and
the coinage of the United States," approved February twelfth, eighteen hundred and
seventy-three; that the officers of the assay office shall be an assayer in charge, at a
salary of two thousand five hundred dollars per annum, who shall also perform the
duties of melter; chief clerk, at a salary of one thousand five hundred dollars per
annum; and the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to rent a suitable
building for the use of said assay office, and there is hereby appropriated, out of any
money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of twenty thousand
dollars for salary of assayer in charge, chief clerk, and wages of workmen, rent, and
contingent expenses.
Approved, May 30, 1908.
I t was not practicable to secure an entire building for the use of
the assay office, but rooms have been rented at an annual reiital of
$1,800 for the purpose, and the necessary melting furnaces, appliances, and apparatus are now being installed therein, and it is confidently expected that the office will be open to the receipt of bullion
early in January, 1909.
USE OF CUPRIC CHLORIDE IN TOUGHENING BRITTLE
AT THE MINT, PHILADELPHIA.
INGOT
MELTS
Within the last year the melter and refiner of the mint at Philadelphia, David K. Tuttle, Ph. D., makes report on the use of cupric
chloride which shows an ingenious and most effective application in
toughening brittle melts of standard gold bullion. One great advantage is that a brittle ingot melt for coinage can be treated with the
cupric chloride most expeditiously and without danger of destroying
the proportion of the alloy to the precious metal. The chlorine
when it unites with and carries off the troublesome base responsible
for the brittleness, leaves its former associate, copper, in place of the
base metal.
UNITED STATES GOLD COIN IN CANADA.
The treasury of the Dominion of Canada helcl on December 31,
1907, $33,529,889 in United States gold coin, while the amount held
by the chartered banks on the same date was $12,244,213, making
the total amount of United States gold coin held in the Canadian
reserves on December .31, 1907, $45,774,102. In addition to this
there were held by agencies of Canadian banks in Cuba and Porto
Rico $1,299,811, and in Jamaica $370,217 in United States gold coin.
DEPOSITS OF GOLD BULLION.
The deposits of gold bullion at the mints and assay offices of the
United States during the fiscal year 1908, exclusive of redeposits
were of the value of $207,415,984, against $176,580,654 reported the
previous year.
285
DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .
Redeposits which consisted of bullion transferred from one office
of the service to the other, or bars bearing the stamp of one of the
offices of the service deposited or sold to another office, amounted to
$119,214,058.
The total gold bullion and gold coin received, including redeposits,
contained 17,556,365 standard ounces of the value of $326,630,042.
The deposits of domestic bullion amounted to 6,005,804 standard
ounces, of which 2,201,114 standard ounces were in crude condition
direct from the mines operating in the diff'erent States; 668,016
standard ounces of refinery bars (less than 0.992 in fmeness) and
3,136,673 standard ounces of refined bullion (0.992 in fineness and
over) were received from private refineries, bromide, chlorination,
and cyanide works.
U N C U R R E N T DOMESTIC GOLD COIN FOR
RECOINAGE.
Uncurrent and mutilated gold coin received for recoinage contained 214,450.317 standard ounces of the coining value in new coin
of $3,989,772.90. Of this amount 71,363.207 standard ounces were
received over the counter and 143,087.110 standard ounces were
received on transfer orders from the Treasury. The loss on this
coinage was $30,895.60.

DEPOSITS AND PURCHASES OF SILVER.
Silver is coined in the United States on government account only.
Deposits of silver bullion are received by the mints, and assay
offices to be returned to the depositors in fine or unparted bars with
the weight and fineness stamped thereon. These deposits are confined almost exclusively to the assay office at New York, and the
bars when returned to the depositors are sold for use in the arts or
exported.
The deposits and purchases of silver at the United States mints
and assay offices during the fiscal year 1908 were as follows:

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
MARKET PRICE OF SILVER DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 1 9 0 8 .
During the twelve months ending June 30, 1908, the price of
silver in the London max:ket varied from 32Jd. per ounce for silver
0.925 fine, equivalent to $0.7069+ per ounce fine, to 24Jd-? equivalent to $0.5274+ per ounce fine. For the first three months
of the year the price was comparatively steady, but commencing
with October the price declined rapidly. The decline was in a
great measure due to the small amount of rain that had fallen in
some parts of India, leading to the fear of a failure of the crops
and, in consequence thereof, a famine. This led the bazaars of
India, who deal very largely in silver, to make heavy sales in the
London market. Aside from these forced sales by the India bazaars there was little demand froin any quarter for silver.
For the last six months of the fiscal year the London price ranged
from 27d. to 24TVd. The following table exhibits the monthly
fluctuations in the price and the value of a fine ounce of silver for
the twelve months ending June 30, 1908:

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 the
Director 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. A pound built up of working weights of the mint was found to be correct within 1 part in
30,000.
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 coinage of the several
mints during the year 1907 to be satisfactory.
The committee on resolutions submitted the following:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the members of the annual assay commission that
the coin collection of the United States in the mint in Philadelphia should be made
as complete as possible. The commission desires to express its approval of the recommendation of the commission of 1907, and it recommends that an appropriation of
$20,000 be made available for the purchase of these coins and medals, these purchases
to be made under the direction of the Director of the Mint, and that an annual appropriation of $5,000 be made to continue the purchases of coins and medals for this
collection.
One hundred thousand citizens of the United States, and many foreigners, visit
annually the IJnited States mint in Philadelphia; many of these visitors desire to
purchase a souvenir of the mint. It is recommended that the Director of the Mint be
authorized to have prepared annually a souvenir medal for sale to visitors. In the
opinion of the officers of the mint such authorization would net to the mint from $5,000
to $10,000 annually, that representing the sale price above the cost of preparing the
dies and striking the medals. The profit to be obtained from the sale of these medals,
in the opinion of the members of this commission, should be added to the amount
appropriated annually for the purchase of coins and medals. And be it further
Resolved, That the thanks of the members of the assay commission be extended to
the Director of the Mint and the officers and employees of the mint in Philadelphia
for their courtesy to the members of the commission during the session.
a By the act of June 23, 1906, the standard fineness of the Philippine peso was
reduced to 800 and the su:bsidiary coins to 750 fine.

The excess of gold and silver operated upon over the amounts
charged during the year is due to duplicate operations.
Upon the settlement of the melter and refiner's accounts, June 30,
1908, there was found an apparent loss upon the gold bullion during
the fiscal year of 1,350.172 standard ounces, and in the operations
upon the silver bullion an apparent gain of 5,769.45 standard ounces.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
C O I N E R ' S DEPARTMENT.
During the fiscal year 1908 this department received 12,496,691.010
standard ounces of gold, of which 12,449,944.310 standard ounces, of
the value of $231,626,870.88 were operated upon, from which there
were produced 6,470,284.041 standard ounces of coin, of the value of
$120,377,377.50, all delivered to the superintendent during the fiscal
year prior to the settlement, upon which there was a wastage of
285.598 standard ounces, of the value of $5,313.45, being 4.57 per cent
of the legal allowance.
The percentage of coin produced from the amount of metal operated upon was 51.97 per cent.
During the same period the coiner also received and operated upon
6,274,260.60 standard ounces of silver, of the value of $7,806,234.02
in subsidiary coin, from which there were produced 3,562,592.34
standard ounces of domestic coin, of the value of $4,432,463.25 in
subsidiary silver coin, and 501.11 standard ounces of Philippine coin,
of the value of $623.46 in domestic subsidiary silver coin, delivered
to the superintendent during the fiscal year prior to settlement, and
22,951.75 standard ounces of domestic coin delivered to the superintendent at settlement, upon which there was a wastage of 520.48
standard ounces, of the value of $284.11, being 8.29 per cent of the
legal allowance.
The percentage of coin produced from the amount of metal operated upon was 57.10 per cent.
There were also delivered to the coiner during the same period
5,692,502.34 ounces of nickel ingots and planchets, from which were
produced 3,642,183.58 ounces of domestic 5-cent nickel coin, of the
face value of $1,134,300.10 and 80.38 ounces of nickel coin for the
Philippine government, of the value of $25 in United States nickel
coinage, upon which there was a wastage of 17,200.06 ounces.
During the same period the coiner also received 10,310,811.88
ounces of copper-bronze ingots and planchets, from which there were
produced 8,126,204.93 ounces of 1-cent coin, of the face value of
$811,708.12, and 125 ounces of copper-bronze coin for the Philippine
^goverment, of the value of $12.50 in United States copper-bronze
coinage, upon which there was a wastage of 20,979.27 ounces.
Owing to a considerable amount of experimental coinage in the
development of the new design double-eagle and eagle coins, the
product of which could not enter into the amount of coin produced,
and the receipt of a quantity of defective gold ingots which could
not be worked satisfactorily and had to be returned for remelting,
the percentage of coin prociuced from the amount of metal operated
upon is lower than it otherwise would have been.

The manufacture of the 1-cent bronze and 5-cent nickel coins has
heretofore been confined by law to the Philadelphia mint. The
Fifty-ninth Congress at its first session authorized the making of
these coins at the other mints, but the output so far has been wholly
at Philadelphia, and owing to the recent financial troubles was much
less than during the fiscal year 1907, as shown below:

The seigniorage, or gain, on recoinage of minor coin was $2,928.87,
as against a loss of $10,887.54, showing a net loss of $7,958.67.
The seigniorage on the coinage of nickel and bronze coins coined
from purchased metal was $1,535,029.42, which, less a net loss of
$7,958.67 on the recoinage of minor coin and a wastage of the operative officers in the minor coinage operations of $1,233.82, gives a
net seigniorage on minor coin of $1,525,836.93.
The total amount of the several types of minor coin manufactured
from 1793, when the first coinage of copper cents was made, until
June 30, 1908, aggregated $52,707,463.67. From the records of
this mint, at which all this coinage has heretofore been made, it
appears that there have been melted for recoinage $4,779,292.69,
leaving outstanding June 30, 1908, $47,928,170.98.

REPORT Oisr THE PIKAKCES.
MINT OF THE UNITED STATES AT SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
It was necessary during the fiscal year of 1908 to close this mint for
settlement on two unusual occasions, owing to a change of the officers
and the consequent filing of new bonds.
In the early part of the year, Frank A. Leach, superintendent of
this mint, was offered the position of Director of the Mint, and on
September 19, 1907, he resigned the superintendency to take up the
duties of his new office. Mr. Leach was succeeded as superintendent
by Edward Sweeny. On July 8, 1907, Dan T. Cole resigned, and
Aug. E . Muenter assumed the duties of coiner. Mr. Muenter remained
in office until the date of Mr. Leach's promotion, when he, too,
resigned, and was immediately succeeded by William M. Cutter.
The settlement of January 31, 1908, was occasioned by the necessity for the filing of new bonds by the superintendent and coiner,
the former bonds having been filed under a recess appointment.
The weight and value of the gold and silver bullion deposited
during the fiscal year was as follows:

Of the above amount of silver bullion 9,851,801.76 standard ounces
of Philippine silver coin were received for recoinage for the government of tne Philippine Islands.
ASSAY DEPARTMENT.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, several improvements
in the equipment were made, which have tended in no small degree
to increase the efficiency of the department. The purchase of a set
of heavy 3-inch rolls, operated by an electric motor, has greatly
facihtated the rolling of silver ingot granulations, especially in the
case of ingots for Philippine subsidiary coinage, where the proportion
of copper alloy has been so large. Individual motors are now being
placed on all rolls, the unsightly and cumbersome shafting and belting
in use for so many years being dispensed with, and the frequent falling
of dirt and grease upon the samples thereby avoided.
Late in the year a fairly complete experimental laboratory with
hoods, tables, shelves, etc., of acid-proof stone was fitted up, to enable
the carrying on of investigations mto the nature of base metal contained in refractory deposits, and to p'ermit the making, not only of
qualitative tests of all kinds, but of various quantitative determinations, both volumetric and electrolytic.
The installment of this laboratory resulted almost immediately
in the adoption of a method for the determination of the gold contents in Dore bulhon, that for accuracy and rapidity is far superior
to the ordinary fire assay formerly used. This new method does away
altogether with the use of the parting flask or mattress, and in many
instances enables us to dispense with the use of the cupel furnace as
well.
313
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
Briefly speaking, it consists in the parting of a gram of the bullion,
either with or without cupellation, according to the amount and
nature of the base metal present, in a No. 2 porcelain crucible containing moderately strong nitric acid. Two five-minute boilings are
made, the discarded solutions being carefully decanted to avoid distributing the gold residue, which, after being thoroughly washed in
hot water, is dried and annealed without having been removed from
the crucible in which the parting was made. The results are very
accurate, quadruplicate assays agreeing almost exactly.
A greater amount of routine work was achieved in the department
than for several years past, there having been a total of 92,124 assays
made at an average cost of $0,318 per assay. A considerable proportion of this increase was due to the opening of the new refinery, the
assays for which averaged over 1,200 a month during the last quarter.

The installation of the new electrolytic plant was completed and
refining commenced on March 2, 1908. During the remainder of the
fiscal year the plant ran steadily, but the work in the operation of
the silver cells was largely experimental in nature, the methods,
machinery, and utensils being changed from time to time, and that
portion of the plant not yet perfected.
