'^SINKING FUND, The requirements of the sinking fund for the current fiscal year are estimated at $48,913,025. The applications to the fund to E^ovember 1, 1891, consisted of bonds, interest notes, and fractional currency amounting to $20,911,163. The additional application of similar items of indebtedness during the remainder of the year, and of national bank notes redeemed under the provisions of the act of July 14, 1890, in excess of deposits received during the year for the redemption of such notes, estimated at $4,254,500 and $13,000,000, respectively, will bring the total amount to be applied to the fund to within $10,747,362 of the estimated requirement. THE. FOUR AND ONE-HALF PER CENT, LOAN, The original issue of 4J per cent bonds, authorized by the acts of July 14, 1870, and January 20, 1871, consisted of $131,596,150 registered and $118,403,850 coupon bonds. During the fifteen years' existence of the loan there were received and canceled $77,480,700 coupon bonds for which an equal amount of registered bonds was issued, and there were retired by purchase or redemption prior to April 1,1891, $168,039,300 registered and $28,106,450 coupon bonds. The amount outstanding April 1, was, therefore, $53,854,250, of-which $41,037,550 were registered and $12,816,700 coupon bonds. These by their terms were redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after September 1, 1891, and were being received for redemption, with interest to that date, in pursuance of a circular issued by my predecessor October 9, 1890. The bonds so redeemed were paid from the surplus revenues, .under section 2 of the act of March 3, 1881, the sinking fund for the current year having been completed by purchases and redemptions of 4 per cent, and 4^ per cent, bonds during July and August, 1890, In view of the requirements of the sinking fund for the fiscal year 1892, it was deemed advisable to suspend the redemption of 4 J per cent, bonds until after that year should begin, and a circular was therefore published, under date of April 25, 1891, rescinding that under which the bonds were then being redeemed and reserving the residue of the 4 J per cent, loan for adjustment within the fiscal year 1892. There had been presented for redemption in April,,prior to the issuance of the circular above mentioned, $2,985,050, and the amount outstanding subject to settlement at the option of the Government after September 1, 1891^ was therefore $50,869,200, consisting of $39,202,300 registered and $11,666,900 coupon bonds. t>tJBLlC MONEYS. - . XXVll STearly twenty-six and one-half millions of the registered bonds were deposited with the Treasurer of the United States as security for circulation and j)ublic moneys, and many of the banks to which they belonged would be obliged to replace them with other bonds at great expense or go into liquidation whenever it should be necessary that the 4J per cents be surrendered. It was apparent, therefore, that an unqualified call for the redemption of the loan, fixing its maturity in September, would iDroject a disturbing element into the finances of the country at a time when its resources are usually severely taxed by the movement of agricultural products. In the desire to avoid monetary disturbance during this critical period, and in the hope that the volume of money in circulation might be increased at an opportune time, through the cooperation,of the banks, the, holders of the bonds were offered their choice of presenting them for redemption with interest to September 2, 1891, or for continuance at the pleasure of the Government with interest at 2 per cent, per annum after that date. Under this proposal there were presented prior to September 2 for continuance $23,414,000, of which $20,007,100 were deposited with the Treasurer of the United States as security for circulation and $2,158,000 for deposits. But it was found that some owners of 4i per cent, bonds who desired their continuance were unable to take the necessary steps to that end within the prescribed time, and an extension of the time to September 30 was therefore granted. On that day the total amount of bonds which had been presented for continuance was $25,412,200, leaving for redemption $25,457,000, of which $17,940,100 were presented and paid during the month of September, There were also redeemed in that month, to correct an error made b y t h e owner, $47,700 continued bonds, and the amount now outstanding on interest at 2 per cento i8$25,364,500o ' .' ' • ° PUBLIC MONEYS, The monetary transactions of the Government have been conducted through the Treasurer of the United States, nine sub-treasury officers, and two hundred and thirteen national bank depositaries. The number of such depositaries on November 1, 1891, was one hundred and eighty-three, and the amount of public moneys held by them on that date, including those to credit of the Treasurer's general account and United States disbursing officers, was $20,106,876.92, a reduction since . E'ovember 1, 1890, in number of twenty-one, and in amount of holdings of $9,'830,810,-76o • . ' • These withdrawals have been made from locations where public funds were held in excess of the requirements of the service, and graduallyj XXVill I^EPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. in order to avoid disturbing the business of the people. Further withdrawals will be made from time to time when it can be done without detriment to business interests until the holdings of national bank dejDOsitaries shall have been reduced to the amount needed for the proper transaction of public business. CIRCULATION. This important subject has been unusually prominent since the last annual report. The stringency in the money market during the summer and autumn of 1890 was relieved by the prompt and effective measures of my predecessor, and happily disappeared without producing the grave consequences which were feared by the public j but its existence, and the widespread apprehension which it caused, induced a revival of the erroneous idea that the volume of money in circulation was not only inadequate to the needs of the country, but was very much less per capita than during the so-called flush times which followed the civil war. The ^'circulation statement'' which has been published b y t h e Department monthly since April 1, 1887, contains in tabular form full information on this subject for the dates specified, and has proved to be a valuable addition to.the regular reports of the Department; but in the absence of statements in the same form for the preceding years a comparison by the people has been impracticable, and the mistaken opinion that there has been a severe contraction of the money volume found ready acceptance. This fact became apparent through letters which were received from all sections of the country, and more complete information on the subject was accordingly supplied by means of a statement which was printed in August last, and has been sent by mail to those who ask for it. The tables therein published appear in their appropriate place in this report,* and are reproduced without change, except as to the table for July 1, 1891, which displays the revised figures for that date, including bullion in the Treasury. By the revision of these figures, the.amount of money per capita July 1, 1891, has been found to be $23.41, instead of $23.45. The amount of money in circulation has been very largely increased since the close of the fiscal year. The amount July 1, 1891, was $1,497,440,707, and the amount per capita was $23.41. The return of gold to the United States, the operation of the Silver Act of July 14, 1890, and disbursements by the Treasury on account of the four and one-half per cent, loan, pensions, etc., have enlarged the volume to $1,577,262,070, and the per capita amount to $24,38.

The number of silver dollars coined during the fiscal year from bullion purchased under the actof 1878 was 8,740,327 ; from bullion purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, 27^292,475; and from tradedollar bullion, 200,000, a total of 36,232,802 silver dollars, upon which the seigniorage, or profit, was $6,221,333.42. The profit on the subsidiary silver coinage of the year was $92,434.48, a total seigniorage of $6,313,767.90. The total coinage of silver dollars under the act of 1878, from March 1, 1878, to the close of such coinage, has been $378,166,793. The net profit on the coinage of silver during the thirteen years ended June 30, 1891, including the balances in the coinage mints on July 1, 1878, has aggregated $71,952,390.25. Bars. In addition to the coinage, gold bars were manufactured of the value of $31,165,541.77, ^nd silver bars of the value of $8,437,657.65, a total of $39,603,199.42. Purchases of silver. The amount of silver purchased from July 1 to August 13, 1890, under the provisions of the act of February 28, 1878, aggregated 3,108,199.47 standard ounces, costing $3,049,426.46, an average of $1.09 per fine ounce. The total amount of silver bullion purchased under the act of February 28,1878, from the commencement, March 1,1878, to the end, August 13, 1890, was 323,635,576.19 standard ounces, costing $308,199,261^71, an average cost of $1,058 per fine ounce. « The amount of silver purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, from August 13, 1890, to June 30, 1891, aggregated 53,770,125.61 standard ounces, costing $50,577,498.44, an average cost of $1,045 per fine ounce. The total amount of silver purchased during the fiscal year under both acts—February 28, 1878, and July 14, 1890—was 56,878,325.08 standard ounces, costing $53,626,924.90, an average cost of $1.04f per fine ounce. The total amount of silver purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, from-August 13,1890, to November 1,1891, was Q^Q.bSS^bZ^ fine ounces costing $68,626,565, an average cost of $1.03 per fine ounce. Eecoinage of trade-dollar bullion. The act of March 3, 1891, directed the Secretary of the Treasury to coin the trade-dollar bullion into silver dollars as soon as practicable. Under the act authorizing the redemption of trade dollars (March 3, PRECIOUS METALS. XXXI 1887), it was left discretionary with the Secretary to coin this bullion into either silver dollars or subsidiary silver coins, and the discretion had been exercised in favor of subsidiary silver coins. The balance pf trade-dollar bullion on hand June 30, 1891, stored at the mints at Philadelphia and 'New Orleans, was 4,193,756.12 standard ounces/ of the value of $4,822,658.90. As soon as the mandatory coinage of silver dollars, required by the act of July 14, 1890, ceased by limitation of law, the conversion of the trade-dollar bullion into silver dollars was commenced. The total number of silver dollars coined from trade-dollar bullion to I^ovember 1, has been $3,260,100. This coinage will be completed during the present calendar year. Frice of silver. The price of silver fluctuated during the last fiscal year from $0,964 to $1.21 per fine ounce, a variation of nearly 25 cents an ounce. At the commencement of the fiscal year the price in New York was $1.05 per ounce; by July 14, 1890, the date of the passage of the new silver law, the price had advanced to $1.08 per ounce, and by August 13, the date the new silver law was to take effect, to $1.14 per ounce. The highest price reached in New York was on August 19,1890—$1.21 per fine ounce. In September a decline commenced, extending to the end of the calendar year, when the price had touched $1.04J. The closing price, June 30, 1891, was $1.01 J per fine ounce. The price at this date—November 1, 1891—is $0.96. The average priceof silver during the year, based upon Londou quotations, was $1,045 a fine ounce, and upon New York quotations, $1,053 a fine ounce, an average difference of nearly 1 cent an ounce. The exports of silver from London to India during the first nine months .of the present calendar year show a falling off of $17,020,730, over.50 per cent, as compared with the same months for the previous year. Imports and exports. The loss of gold by net export during the fiscal year was $67,946,768, while there was a gain of silver by excess of imports over exports amounting to $2,745,365. The loss of gold by export was materially larger during the last fiscal year than in any recent year. The heavy movement commenced in February, 1891, and did not cease until the close of July. The total amount exported from the port of New York duriiig this period was $70,223,494,31, XXXII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY It is gratifying to report that a return movement of gold is well under way, which has aggregated, since the 1st of July, at the port of New York alone, $27,854,000, and it is believed that owing to the large exports of breadstuffs and other materials from the United States, this fall and winter, the movement of gold to this country will continue for some months, and in increasing amounts. In the Eeport of the Director of the Mint will be found an article treating in detail of the movement of gold from the United States, and pointing out some of the causes w^hich are believed to have operated to produce the same. Earnings and expenditures. The total expenditures for the support of the Mint Service for the last fiscal year aggregated $1,335,910. The total earnings of the mints and assay offices, from all sources, was $7,650,529.62, and the total expenditures and losses of all kinds, $1,661,139.83, a net profit of earnings over expenditures of $5,989,389.79.

According to information gathered by the Bureau of the Mint, the value of the gold and silver used in the industrial arts in the United States during the last year was, approximately: Gold, $18,000,000, and silver, $9,000,000, of which $10,700,000 gold and $7,140,000 silver was new l^ullion. Legislation recommended—Eecoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury. In the last report of the Secretary of the Treasury attention was directed to the large stock of subsidiary silver coins in the Treasury Avhich, through abrasion or mutilation, were unfit for circulation, ot else of denominations for which there was no popular demand^ and it was recommended that authority be granted to recoin this uncurrent coin into new coins, and to reimburse the Treasury for the loss of metal incident to such recoinage from the large profits which have been made by the Government on the manufacture afid issue of silver coins of a nominal value in excess of the cost of the bullion contained in them. Such a provision was inserted by the House of Eepresentatives in the sundry civil appropriation bill, for the fiscal year 1892, but the provision Avas stricken out in the Senate, and, in lieu thereof, an appropriation of $150,000 was made for such recoinage. Under this liberal appropriation a large amount of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury has been recoined into dimes and quarter-dollars, and such recoinage is still in progress. The face value of the silver coins transferred from the Treasury to the mints for recoinage under this appropriation has been $3,858,958, upon which the loss of metal, representing abrasion from wear, and reimbursed the Treasurer from the above appropriation, was $115,055 a loss of about 3 per cent. It was thought that the loss would be ^bout 5 per cent.,^and th^t the ap|)ro|)yiatiQn of |150^000 WQ^ld Oaabif XXXIV REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. the Department to recoin about $3,000,000. By careful and economical work upon the part of the mints the loss has been reduced considerably below this figure, and it is believed that the current appropriation will enable the mints to recoin $5,000,000. The beneficial results of this recoinage are shown by the fact that the amount of subsidiary silver coin in the Treasury at the commencement of the last fiscal year, all of which was classed as an '^ unavailable asset," was $22,805,225, while the amount in the Treasury at'the present time is $15,196,379, a reduction of $7,608,846. In view of the importance of relieving the Treasury of this incubus of uncurrent coins, as well as to provide change money in an attractive form, I renew the re'commendation of my predecessor that authority be given to reimburse the Treasurer for the loss of metal incident to the recoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury, from the ^' silver profit fund," or else that a permanent annual appropriation for recoinage be made. If, however, this should not meet with favor at the hands of Congress, I most urgently recommend an immediate appropriation of $100,000 for continuing the recoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury. In pursuance of the authority contained in the act of September 26, 1891, the Director of the Mint has prepared new designs for the subsidiary silver coins of the United States, which are believed to be a decided improvement upon those now in existence, and with a liberal appropriation for recoinage it is believed that a large amount of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury can be profitably converted into new coins bearing the new designs, and that they will be readily absorbed in circulation. New mint at Philadelphia. In accordance with the recommendation of Secretary Windom in his last annual report, Congress, by an act approved March 3, 1891, authorized the purchase of a site and the erection of a new building for the mint at Philadelphia, at a cost not to exceed $2,000,000; but as the law made no appropriation to carry its provisions into effect, no action has been taken thereunder which would involve an expenditure of money from the Treasury. At my request, however, Messrs. E. H. Fitler, Samuel Gustine Thompson, Anthony J. Drexel, William M. Singerly, James H. Windrim, Alexander K. McClure, and A. C. Bosbyshell consented to serve as a commission without, compensation to recommend a suitable site for the proposed building, and on September 8, 1891, they unani-' mously recommended a site at a cost not to exceed $800,000, NATIONAL BANKS. XXXV The necessity of better and enla'^rged facilities for the mint is apparent, and I again recommend the subject to the early and favorable consideration of Congress. .^ It is believed that the valuable site now occupied by the mint at Philadelphia will sell, at the date the new mint can be comj)leted, for a suiri approximating the entire cost of a new site and building. NATIONAL BANKS. The report of the Comptroller of the Currency* gives full information in relation to the organization, supervision, and liquidation of national banks during the year ending October 31, 1891. In this period 193 associations were organized, with capital aggregating $20,700,000, thus exhibiting a growth of the national system largely in excess of the annual average for past years. During the same period 41 associations went into voluntary liquidation and 25 became insolvent, leaving as a net gain for the twelve-month 127 banks, with a capital of $12,553,000. The administration by the Comptroller of the affairs of suspended banks has been characterized by a wise regard to the interests of all concerned; and of the number of banks closed during the year, 7 have been reopened for business, their solvency having been restored by the voluntary contribution of funds by the stockholders. The number of banks in operation October 31, 1891, was 3,694, having in capital stock $684,755,865; bonds deposited to secure circulation, $152,113,850; banknotes outstanding, $171,368,948, including $35,430,721 represented by lawful money deposited for their redemption. Their gross circulation, including notes of gold banks and those of failed and liquidated associations, has decreased $7,571,085 during the year, while that secured by pledge of bonds has increased $11,795,101. The domestic exchange drawn by national banks for the year ending June 30, 1891, is stated at $12,782,212,495, an increase over thepreceding year of more than 11 per cent. / The last report of condition exhibits the liabilities and resources of the banks on September 25, 1891. At that date 3,677 associations reported an aggregate capital of $677,426,870; surplus, $227,576,486; and undivided profits, $103,284,674. The gross deposits, including amounts due to banks, are stated at $2,039,180,188.12, and loans and discounts at $1,989,354,239, an increase in both items over any previous date. These ba^ks held $174,907,550 in United States bonds, of which $150,035,600 were to secure circulating notes ; also $183,515,076 in specie,-$97;615,608 in legal-tender notes, and $15,720,000 in United States certificates of deposit. * See Appendix, page 318o XXXVI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Of the new associations, 99 are located west of the Mississippi Eiver and 59 in the southern states. The present has been more disastrous than any former year as to the number of failures, but not as to the amount of capital and liabilities involved. More than one-half in number of the banks that became insolvent during the period covered by the report of the Comptroller were located in two western states, and their insolvency was chiefly due to the effects bf four successive crop failures, while the severe depression of business which followed the stringency of last year influenced in a great degree the failures that occurred in other parts of the country. It is shown that of the total number of national banks organized only Si per cent, have become insolvent during a period of 29 years, and that the annual average loss to creditors during that time has been only one-twentieth of 1 per cent, of their average liability. The affairs of 102 insolvent banks have been finally closed, at an average expense of 9.28 per cent,, with an average dividend to creditors of 74.17 per cent. Those closed during the last five years have divided among creditors 90.65 per cent., at an average cost for expenses of 4.08 per cent. It is believed that no other system can show equally favorable results. I invite favorable attention to the recommendations of the Comptroller that the present law be so amended as to provide (1) that no association shall be requiied to maintain a bond deposit of more than $1,000 to secure circulation; (2)^that'every association may issue circulating notes equal to the par value of the bonds so deposited; (3) that the monthly withdrawal of bonds pledged to secure such notes shall not exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate; and (4) that the semi-annual duty on circulation be so reduced as to equal one-fourth of 1 per cent. Attention is also invited to the suggestions qf the Comptroller that supervising and assistant examiners be appointed, and that all exam-, iners be required to take an oath of office, and give such bonds as the Comptroller may prescribe. His suggestion as to the necessity for legislation more clearly defining the duties of directors, and further restricting the accommodations which may be lawfully afforded to officers and directors by way of loans and discounts, is especially commended to the consideration of the Congress. Three loan and trust companies, doing'business ini3he District of Columbia, haye availed themselves of the provisions of an act of Congress entitled ^^An act to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan, mortgage, and certain other corporations within the District of Columbia," aj)proyed October 1,1890, and ^re ngw subject to tho superyision of tbe Comptrolter of tbe Currency. . TARIFF AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION. XXXVII TARIFF AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION. At my request the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics has prepared a special report on our foreign commerce for comparative periods under the old and new tariffs, -^hich furnishes a striking exhibit of the practical effect of the new law. The existing tariff went into effect as .to most of its provisions on the 6th of October, 1890. Under its operations during the twelve months ending September 30, 1891, the first five days of October being under the old tariff, the value of imports of merchandise was $824,716,507, an increase of $11,247,116 over the value of imports of the corresponding months of the preceding year. Of this total the value of free goods was $397,352,107, anincrease of $118,092,436 over the value of free imports during the corresponding months of the previous year. The proportion of merchandise admitted free was 48.18 per cent, of the total importation, as against 34.32 per cent. for. the preceding year, thus, exceeding the proportion of free goods under any previous tariff for a corresponding period. For the six months ending September 30,1891, during which sugar has been admitted free, the iDroportion of free importations was 55,37 per cent., as against 33.27 per cent, for the corresponding months of the preceding year. • ^ For six months ending March 31,1891, when sugar wa^ dutiable under the new tariff, the free importations were 40.68 per cent., and for the corresponding period of the preceding year, under the old tariff, they were 35.18 per cent, of the total importations. The articles now admitted free of duty are chiefly necessaries of life, such as sugar, tea, coffee, and other articles which are not largely produced in this country, and do not successfully compete with our domestic productions. The removal of the duty on sugar has reduced its price to the consumer, and this result is not in conflict with the doctrine of protection to home industries, because the limited domestic production of sugar under the most favorable protective rates was not sufficient to influence the price in the home market., ^ The report of the Chief of the-Bureau of Statistics is accompanied by tables showing that prices to the consumer of manufactured articles, as a rule, have not been increased, but have been reduced. The receipts from customs for the year ending September 30, 1891, during the last six months of which^sugar was free, were $196,279,654.60, as against $238,784,929.71 for the preceding year, a decrease of $42,505,275.11. XXXVIII REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY. During the twelve months ending September 30, the value of our exports of merchandise was $923,091,136, as against $860,177,115 for the previous twelve months, an increase of $62,914,021. Under the operations of the new tariff the customs revenue has been decreased as far as is consistent with the current needs of the Government. By the readjustment of duties in the line of protection to American labor and American industries, the free list has been enlarged by the addition of articles which from climatic or other conditions are not produced profitably, nor extensively, in this country ;\adequate protective duties have been imposed upon articles that come into competition with our own productions; new industries have been established and others stimulated, thereby giving increased employment to American labor, and better control of our home market to our own people ; and the price of nearly every article of common consumption has been reduced to the consumer. Inasmuch as a considerable portion of our revenues must be derived from duties on imports, it is the part of wisdom and patriotism to so adjust the rates as to have regard first to the interests of our own people and the rightful demands of American labor for remunerative wages. , I do not believe that any considerable number of the people desire to see our manufacturing industries destroyed, or wages reduced to the European basis, which would be the inevitable result of a reduction of duties with a view to revenue only. A comparison of the prices of goods imported respectively under the old and new tariffs where rates have been increased will demonstrate that the tariff is a tax upon the foreign competitor in our markets in the sale of such articles as are extensively produced here, and that the duties are in fact thus deducted from the foreign market value, and are paid by the foreigner as a tax for the privilege of selling his goods here at prices fixed by our own people competing among themselves in their own market. Legislation recommended. ^ I invite attention to, and earnestly renew, the recommendations of my predecessor concerning needed amendments to the laws relating to the administration of the customs service. I quote from his last annual report: ' First. The increase of the permanent appropriation for the expense of collecting the revenne from cnstoms. c For many years the fnnd available for defraying the expenses of collecting--the revenue from customs has been insufficient to cover such expenses, and the Department T A R I F F AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION. XXXIX has been unable to employ a sufficient force to properly collect the revenue and guard against evasions. It is false economy to refuse the means to insure the enforcement of the laws upon which depend the revenues of the Government. The Department is almost daily compelled to refuse expenditures absolutely necessary to such enforcement. On this subject, the following is quoted from the Secretary's last annual report: "Serious embarrassments have occurred several times through deficiency in this appropriation, which has proved insufficient to defray the necessary expenses of collection, the average annual cost of which exceeds $7,000,000. ' 'The fund at disposal is derived from the permanent annual appropriation of $5,500,000 made by the act ofMarch 3, 1871, 'and in addition thereto such sums as may be received from fines, penalties, and forfeitures connected with the customs, and from fees paid into the Treasury by customs officers, and from storage, cartage, drayage, labor, and services,' which on the date of the passage of the act amounted to nearly $2,000,000. "Since that time the annual receipts from these sources have diminished about $1,000,000, in consequence of legislation affecting fines, penalties, and forfeitures, and the abolition of many of the official fees.'' The rapid growth of the country, the opening of an immense line of unguarded frontier by the building of railways and the creation of new ports, make the need bf legislation on this subject more imperative than ever before. Second. The compensation of all collectors of customs by fixed salaries, and the a"bolishment of all fees, commissions, perquisites, a^nd emoluments. This is necessary to secure uniformity and the proper adjustment of the compensation of these officers commensurate with their duties and responsibilities. Under the present system the emoluments of some collectors are excessive while in other cases they are inadequate. Third, The consolidation of customs districts, demanded alike for reasons of economy and the changed condition of commerce and transportation. This might be accomplished by authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to change the boundaries of customs districts, or to abolish districts when the expenditures exceed th^e receipts therein. Fourth. The abolishment of oaths to monthly accounts of customs employes as unnecessary and as subjecting these^officers to useless expense. Fifth. The repeal of the laws requiring bonds to be given by individval importers upon the entry of merchandise for warehouse, and for the return of packages not • designated for examination and delivered to importers in advance of appraisement and • liquidation of duties. In the case of warehouse bonds the Government is amply protected by the possession of the merchandise, and the so-called '' return bonds'' are found in practice to serve no valuable end. The taking of these useless bonds involves a large expense without any compensating benefit. Sixth. The revision and codification of the customs laws. These laws are now scattered through the statutes, and should be brought together, revised, and reenacted in one harmonious code. Seventh. Legislation to secure railway statistics of foreign commerce. It" is indispensable to a proper record and exposition of the foreign commerce of the ^, United States that railway carriers of merchandise should be required by law to render such statistical returns as are required of carriers of freight by water.. XL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY. Any attempt to completely exhibit the foreign trade of the country is largely neutralized and frustrated at present by the necessity of merely estimating "the greater part of such trade conducted by rail. These recommendations have been made, in whole t)r in part, by every Secretary of the Treasury of both political parties during the last ten years, and their importance can not be over estimated. It is certainly unwise to neglect to furnish adequate means for the efficient collection and protection of the customs revenue, which is required to defray a considerable part of the expenses of the Government. The changes of twenty years, since the present provision for defraying the expenses of collecting the revenue from customs was made,' necessitate new legislation on the subject. In the development of the Northwest new customs districts and ports have been created, both on the ocean and frontier; many new interior ports have been established; but the fund at the disposal of the Department for paying the expenses of customs collection and administration, which in 1871 was about $7,500,000, has been reduced by legislation affecting fines and fees until there is now but little over $6,000,000 applicable to this purpose, while the actual expense is nearly a million more. This insufficient appropriation embarrasses efficient administration of tiie customs laws, to the manifest detriment of the revenue. In this connection I call attention to the report of the'Supervising Special Agent,* showing the inadequacy of the present force of customs officers for the protection of the revenue on the Mexican and Canadian frontiers, which force can not be augmented with the present insufficient appropriation. '^ I renew the recommendation made by my predecessor, in the last annual report, that section 8 of the Customs Administrative Act be repealed. Further experience has demonstrated the impracticability of administering this sectit>n. It is a constant source of irritation, and serves no useful purpose in ascertaining dutiable values. Section 15 of the same act should be so amended as to authorize the taking of testimony now required to be taken by the General Appraisers by commissioners appointed for that purpose by the court, as well as by the General Appraisers, as now provided by law. This is necessa;ry for the reason that the time of the General Appraisers is so fully occupied with their duties at the port of New York that they are unable to give proper attention to the demands of other ports in this regard. I also renew the recommendation that that part of section 19 which imposes additional duties on unusual coverings be modified so that ^ See Appendix, page 849. TARIFF AND CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION. XLI such coverings shall pay but a single duty at the rate to which they would be subject if imported separately, not less than that imposed upon their contents. The General Appraisers call attention in their report to the effect of the clause in section 7 of the Customs Administrative Act which requires the assessment of an additional duty of 2 per cent, on the total appraise°d value of imported merchandise for eveiy 1 per cent, of the advance above entered value, provided the appraised value exceeds by more than 10 per cent. the. value declared on entry, and recommend that the law should be so modified as to limit the additional duty to not more than 100 per cent. I concur in their recommendation that the law be so modified. By the present law (section 827, Eevised Statutes) provision is made for the compensation of district attorneys when they appear on behalf of collectors in customs cases. Under the Administrative Act collectors are no longer parties to suits for the recovery of duties alleged to be unlawfully exacted, and although the services of the district attorneys in such cases are still required, it has been held that there is no authoritj^ for their payment. It is therefore recommended that the law be amended so that the district attorneys may receive adequate comi)ensation in such cases. The care of foreign merchandise at the World's Columbian Exposition will require a large temporary customs force, which cannot be provided without an additional appropriation for. that purpose. It is estimated that not lessthan $200,000 will be required to enable the Department to employ the officers necessary to maintain the custody of dutiable exhibits and examine and appraise and collect duties upon such articles as may be withdrawn for consumi)tion. There will be undoubtedly a demand for the privilege of selling articles for delivery during the Exposition. This will require legislative authority, and I therefore suggest the enactment of a law to authorize such sales under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, as was done during the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, in accordance with the provisions of the act of July 20, 1876. ^ ^ . . General Appraisers. ^ . The report of the General Appraisers* shows a gratifying progress in the disposition of protests involving questions of classification. The number of these cases undisposed of November 1, 1890, was 996 ; the number received from November 1, 1890, to November 1, 1891, was 41,557 at the port of New York, and from other ports 8,589, making a * Omitted from this compilation. XLII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY. total of 51,142. Of this number, 33,897 involved the constitutionality of the acts of June iO and October 1, 1890. Many of the remaining cases have been or will be disposed of by a single decision, as they involve identical questions, so that the opinion is expressed that by January 1 next nearly all cases received up to October 1, 1891, will have been settled either by actual decisions or suspensions made to await the final determination of analogous questions on appeals taken from the Board's decisions. During the same time, the number of appeals to reappraisement has been 2,107, of which 2,051 have been disposed of, leaving but 56 pending. This showing gives assurance that the Customs Administrative Act has realized the purpose of its enactment and afforded what was imperatively demanded—a speedy, just, and efficacious means for the settlement of differences between the Government and importers, both as to classifications and values. It was to be expected that a law so radical in many of its features would be met by some embarassments of administration and more or less criticism, but its practical operation for more than a year has in a great measure removed both the administrative difficulties and the opposition it first encountered. It has demonstrated its value and efficacy in checking fraudulent undervaluations and securing uniform assessment of duties, and while in some of its details amendment is desirable, yet in its main features it should not be disturbed. INTERNAL REVENUE. The receipts from the several objects of taxation under the internalrevenue laws for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1890 and 1891, are as follows: F i s c a l y e a r e n d e d J u n e 80— Objects of t a x a t i o n .

XLIII The amounts herein stated are the amounts actually collected during the fiscal years mentioned, but in many cases the money collected on the last day of June is not deposited until the first day of July, thus causing a discrepancy between the collections and the deposits. The increase in the cost of collection for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, is due to various causes. The appropriation made by Congress for salaries and expenses of agents, gaugers, storekeepers, etc., amounted to $2,100,000, but owing to a large increase in the products of distilleries operated during the fiscal year, which resulted in an increase of the taxes collected from spirits of more than $3,000,000 as compared with the receipts of the preceding year, the actual expenses under the above head exceeded the amount appropriated by $3,451.58, for which unpaid accounts are now on file and for the payment of which an additional appropriation will be necessary. In addition to this, there were gauged 193,557 gallons of grape brandy used in the fortification of sweet wines upon which no tax was paid. The actual work demanded under this provision, in addition to the above figures, was the gauging of 1,083,274 gallons of sweet wines, and a number of deputy collectors and other officers were required to be employed in the work of supervising the delivery of this brandy to the wine makers. If expenditures of this character, which' can hardly be fairly construed as entering into the cost of collection, could be separated from the total expenditure, the cost of collection for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, would be very materially reduced. The percentage of cost of collection for the fispal year ended June 30, 1891, was 2.88 per cent., as against 2.82 for the preceding fiscal year, the increase arising LJ above stated. The total production of distilled spirits, exclusive of fruit brandies, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, was 115,962,389 gallons; the total production for the fiscal year ended June 30,1890, was 109,275,928 gallons, making an increase in the production of distilled spirits for the fiscal year just ended of 6,686,461 gallons. There was also produced during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, 284,035 gallons of apple brandy, 777 gallons of peach brandy, and 1,519,900 gallons of grape brandy, making a total production of 1,804,712 gallons of brandy from fruits, as against 1,825,810 gallons of brandy from fruits produced during the fiscal year ended June 30,1890. A further comparison of the two fiscal years shows a decrease of 325,006 gallons in the production of apple brandy and a decrease of XLIV REPORT OF THE SECRETAliY OF THE TREASURY. 107,987 gallons in the production of peach brandy, with an increase oi 411,895 gallons in the production of grape brandy for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891. Of the brandy produced from grapes 193,557 gallons were used, free of tax, for the fortification of sweet' wines, under the provisions of the act of October 1, 1890. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, 3,819 distilleries of all kinds were operated. For the preceding fiscalyear 6,211 distilleries of all kinds were operated, a comparison showing a decrease of 2,392 in the number of distilleries operated for the fiscal year just ended. Nearly the whole of the above decrease arose from fruit distilleries which were not operated on account of the almost complete failure of the fruit crop. . Duringthe fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, there were produced 30,497,209 barrels of beer. The number of barrels produced during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, was 27,561,944, making an increased production for the fiscal year just ended of 2,935,265 barrels. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, the total receipts from the taxes on tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, snuff, etc, were $32,796,270.97. The receipts from the same sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1^90, were $33,958,991.06. It was estimated that the provisions of the actof October 1, 1890, reducing the tax on tobacco and snuff' to 6 cents per pound and repealling certain special taxes, w^ould result in a decrease in the receipts from this source for the fiscal year ended June , 30, 1891, of $3,898,382.72. The actual decrease was $1,162,720.09, the increased production of manufactured tobacco,^ snuff, cigars, cheroots, and cigarettes being the cause for such gratifying result. The quantity of distilled spirits gauged for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, was 342,343,638 gallons. The quantity gauged for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, was 324,175,208 gallons, making an increase in the quantity of spirits gauged forthe fiscal year just ended of 18,168,430 gallons. . It is estimated that the receipts„ from all sources of internal revenue for the current fiscal year (ending June 30, 1892) will aggregate $150,000,000. I respectfully call attention to the various recommendations contained in the report of the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue,* and urge legislation in accordance with the views therein expressed. * See Appendix, page 400.

In other words, our imports of merchandise were 72.84 per cent, and exports 27.16 of the total trade with these countries, and we imported merchandise to the value of $2.68 for every dollar in value exported to these countries. The excess of imports over exports of merchandise for the fiscal year 1890 was $108,054,472. For the fiscal year 1889 this excess was $117,917,883. FOREIGN COMMERCE.

It is probable that under the new tariff the value of dutiable imports ' during the year ending June 30, 1892, from the group of countries to the south of us will not exceed 10 per cent, of the total value of imports. The principal articles of domestic exports from the United States to this entire southern group consisted of manufactures of iron and steel,' manufactures of cotton, manufactures of wood, wheat flour, mineral oil, and agricultural implements. , Imports and exports under reciprocity treaties. The reciprocity clause of the new tariff is opening new markets and increasing the demand for our products. During the year ending June 30,1890, our exports of domestic products to Brazil amounted to $11;902,496, and in 1891 to $14,049,273, an increase of $2,146,777. The treatj^ with Brazil went into effect April 1 last, and it is not to be expected that the results will be very marked as yet. During the six months ending September 30, 1890, our domestic exports of merchandise to Brazil amounted to $6,208,804, and during the same period of 1891, under the operation of the reciprocity treaty, to $7,515,858, an increase of $1,307,054. This increase in exports to Brazil since the reciprocity treaty went into effect has been mainly in locomotives, steam-engines, machinery and cars for tramways and railways, wheat flour, bacon, boards, deals, planks, etc. % NAVIGATION. LY There has been a decrease in the exports of wheat, lard, and cotton manufactures. j The reciprocity treaties with Santo Domingo and with Spain concerning trade relations with Cuba and Puerto Eico did not go into effect until September 1, and as yet there are no available statistics to show the effects of the treaties upon our commerce. Furthermore, the reduction of duties on wheat and wheat flower imported into these islands from the United States will not take effect until January 1, 1892. - NAVIGATION.

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

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

LXI The foregoing table shows an increase in arrivals of 94,376^ or more than 22 per cent, over the previous year. The arrivals during the first four months of the present fiscal year (ending October 31, 1891) have been 189,778, an excess of 40,595, or of inore than 27 per cent, over the corresponding months of 1890. This extraordinary and progressive increase in the tide of alien immigration to the United States, which does not include the increased arrivals via Canada, has not . failed to atti'act the attention of the whole country, and it will doubtless command the early consideration of Congress. If ever there was a question which ought to be treated independently of.partisan politics this would seem to be such a question; and the practical unanimity in this matter of our citizens of all parties and of whatever nationality furnishes the opportunity for the adoption of measures dictated solely by patriotic considerations. An analysis of the statement of arrivals during the last fiscal year shows that an increasing proportion of immigrants is coming to us from those, classes and those countries of Europe whose people are least adapted to, and least prepared for, citizenship in a free republic, and are least inclined to assimilate with the general body of American citizens. With the approaching exhaustion of the supply of free arable land in the United States only a trifling percentage of immigrants now engage in farming on their arrival in this country, whatever may have been their former occupation. The vast majority of them crowd into our""cities and large towns, with the inevitable "result of overstocking the labor market and depressing wages, while the least efficient and more vicious among them soon drift into our poorhouses and prisons, to be a continuing burden upon our people. The laws already enacted by Congress for the purpose of checking this tendency and preventing the mischief which would result from unrestricted immigration have accomplished something. The attempt to enforce these laws efficiently has also developed a body of information, based on actual experience, which should be invaluable in framing future legislation. While the application of existing laws has very greatly diminished some of the specific abuses at which they were aimed, it obviously has not prevented a large increase in the total volume of immigration, and a distinct deterioration in its average quality. The chief causes of the current increase of immigration lie on the surface. The higher wages, the better scale of living, the general and fairly uniform prosperity prevailing in this country, coupled with comniercial and industrial depression abroad, the present trifling cost of LXII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. steerage passage, and the. wide publicity now given to all the firstnamed facts among the masses of Europe, are a sufficient explanation, though other reasons contribute to the result. Among the more obvious and fatal weaknesses in the present attenipt,to winnow somewhat our incoming tide of immigration, and to exclude certain classes of aliens who are admitted by all to be either dangerous or undesirable, are these: (1) In the worst and most important classes of cases, to wit, criminals, ex-convicts, polygamists, and illegally ^ assisted'' immigrants, the law supplies almost no means ^ of ascertaining the facts. The personal statements of such immigrants obviously have little value as evidence, and it is only by accident that any other source of information is open to the inspection officers at the port of arrival. (2) With the increasing efficiency of inspection at our several seaports, and the fact of this vigilance made known to intending emigrants in Europe, an increasing number of aliens are now landing at Canadian ports and thence entering the United States by rail, thus practically avoiding all effective scrutiny, besides depriving the immigrant fund of the head tax which would otherwise be paid. Congress alone can remedy these glaring defects in a system which has thus far necessarily been tentative and experimental. Plainly the process of sifting immigrants should at least begin abroad, to be completed, and not commenced, at the United States port of arrival. Some system of investigation or certification, consular or otherwise, in the country where the intending emigrant resides, is believed to be entirely practicable, and such a system, supplemented by continued vigilance at our ports of entry, ought to prove effective to the desired end. Considerations of humanity as well as of efficiency require that aliens of the prohibited classes shall not be permitted to come across the ocean to our ports, only to be sent back penniless and stranded. As to the entrance of alien immigrants into the United States by rail across the Canadian border, the remedy would suggest itself of either securing an international arrangement for a uniform system of foreign or seaport inspection, or, failing that, of making our own inspection at the border as effective as possible, as a part of our own general system. The extent to which criminals, paupers, and defectives are systematically deported from certain foreign countries to the United States, and the best means of preventing this abuse, will be considered in a future communication to Congress. The new and commodious Immigrant Station on Ellis Island, in ISTew York harbor, is practically completed, and the business pf receiving IMmORATION—CHINESE EXCLUSION. LXIII and inspecting immigrants will be transferred thither from the Barge Office as soon as certain details are arranged. A regular ferry will be maintained between Ellis Island and the Barge Office, and the annex forming part of the latter will be utilized as a final landing-place for those immigrants who are destined for l^ew York City and adjacent points. The new receiving station, besides adding vastly to the comfort, convenience, and sanitary well-being of the arriving immigrants, will enable the inspection officers to perform their duties much ,more thoroughly, effectively, and expeditiously. In addition to the information concerning each immigrant heretofore obtained by the inspection officers, a record of illiteracy will hereafter be preserved, by stating upon the register opposite each name whether the person can read and write. Alien Contract-Labor Laws. Good progress has been made during the past year in the matter "of enforcing the provisions of the Alien Contract-Labor Laws. The fact that such laws are on the statute books, prescribing serious penalties for the their infraction, has of itself had a most salutary effect and tended greatly to prevent all law-abiding citizens from attempting the / importation of alien laborers under contract. Prosecutions have been instituted wherever sufficient evidence could be procured, and these, with resulting convictions, have had a wholesome deterrent effect upon such employers as might not be influenced by a mere knowledge of the illegality of the prohibited traffic in alien labor. Thus the effectiveness of the laws in question is not measured or indicated by the number of prosecutions brought thereunder, nor by the number of contract laborers intercepted and returned. In June last I appointed a.commission of five persons, who spent the summer months in various parts of Europe, making a careful study of the immigration question, with special regard ta the illegal importation hither of alien laborers under contract. The report of that commission is now in course of preparation, and upon its completion I shall expect to lay the same before Congress, accompanying it with such suggestions as shall seem pertinent. ^ CHINESE EXCLUSION. The Department has been unremitting in its efforts to enforce the Chinese Exclusion Acts, but with only partial success. The law provides that Chinese laborers found to be unlawfully within the United States shall be removed therefrom to '^the country from whence they came,'' and appropriations have been made from time to. LXIV REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE' TREASURY. time by Congress to carry this provision of law into effect. It was found that these prohibited persons were gaining access to the country from the contiguous foreign territories of Mexico and Canada, where they were landed direct from China without hindrance, except the imposition of a head-tax of $50 by the Canadian Government. It was obviously useless to return these people to Mexico or Canada, whence they could seek new and probably successful entrance into the United States, and in the opinion of the Department it was the purpose and intent of the law to return them to China as the country from whence they came, whether they gained admission directly from China or through the avenue of a foreign country. If any doubt had previously existed it seemed to be set at rest by a specific appropriation by Congress both in 1890 and 1891, to enforce the law and return to China all Chinese persons found to be unlawfully within the United States. ' The Department therefore ordered all such persons returned to China, regardless of the avenue' of their entrance into this country, with such success that Chinese immigration was practically broken up on the Mexican frontier and measurably checked on the Canadian frontier. But within the last few months the instructions of the Department for deportation to China have been stayed in some instances by the action of the courts in returning such persons to Canada as the country from whence they came, and while the Department has not relaxed its efforts to enforce the law, it has been unable, as a result of such judicial action, to withstand the great influx of Chinese laborers along our Canadian border. It is undoubtedly true that the Chinese population of the United States has been considerably increased within the past year by the addition of Chinese laborers who have entered by way of Canada. Syndicates have been "formed and much capital has been invested to further this unlawful immigration, and if it is still the purpose of Congress to prohibit it, a thorough revision of the statutes relating to the subject is necessary. Four acts of Congress relate to the exclusion of Chinese laborers from the United States. These acts bear date May 6,1882 j July 5,1884; September 13, 1888, and October 1,1888, respectively. The act of May 6, 1882, suspended the immigration of Chinese laborers from and after the period of ninety days from the passage of such act and until the expiration of ten yeiars next after the date thereof. - The act of July 5, 1884, amended certain sections of the act of May 6, 1882, but did not change the period within which its operations were limited. The act of September 13,' 1888, provided for the repeal of the acts of May 6,1882, and REVENUE-MARINE SERVICE. o LXV ^ July 5, 1884, such repeal to take effect upon the joint ratification of the treaty then pending between the United States and China; but such treaty has not been ratified, and the Attorney-General has expressed the opinion that the act of September 13, 1888, is not in force. The acts of May 6, 1882, and July 5, 1884, therefore still control. By the act of October 1, 1888, it is made unlawful for any Chinese laborer who shall at any time have been a resident of the United States, and who, shall have departed therefrom, to return to the United States. Unless, therefore, Congress shall enact new legislation upon the subject, it would seem that any Chinese laborer may lawfully enter the United States after May 6, 1892^ unless he shall have previously resided here, in which case his admission is prohibited. Any legislation, however, looking ^to exclusion will fail of its full purpose so long as the Canadian Government admits Chinese laborers to Canada, whence, armed with Canadian permits to leave and return to Canada at pleasure, they are at liberty to invade our territory along its entire northern frontier. REVENUE-MARINE SERVICE. The performance of the regular duties of the revenue cutters has continued in a faithful and efficient manner. Thirty-six vessels in commission during the °year have cruised for the protection of the revenue a distance of 301,416 nautical miles, and have boarded and examined 26,962 vessels, of which number 1,042 were found violating the law. The fines incurred by reason of these violations amounted to $334,046.94. In addition, 123 distressed vessels were assisted, the value of the vessels and their cargoes amoun tiug to $2,806,056. Eevenue cutters, furthermore, have rescued from the water during the past year, and in actual danger of drowning, 26 persons. Material aid has been rendered during the year to the Life-Saving Service, a distance of 9,915 miles having been cruised by revenue cutters on this duty alone. The expenditures on account of the Eevenue-Cutter Service for 1891 have been $934,995.22, of which sum $26,816.59 was used in enforcing the provisiohs of the act of Congress, approved May 16, 1888, regulating the anchorage of vessels in the bay and harbor of 'New York. The personnel of the Eevenue Marine consists of 220 commissioned officers, 28 pilots, and 815 enlisted men. . . Tbe special duty of enforcing the provisions of the anchorageregula tions of the waters of New York harbor has been continued by the revenue steamer Manhattan. During the year 1,375 vessels were found imFi 91 V LXVI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. properly anchored, and of this number 809 were assisted to a proper anchorage. The remaining vessels moved on being notified to do so. The work of the revenue-cutter fleet during the past year has been one of marked activity. The duty performed has been both varied and general. It embraced operations of more than ordinary importance in Bering Sea, in connection with the Eastern fisheries, on the Bahama Banks, the Florida coast, and in Puget Sound. Many of these operations dealt with issues of an international nature, and required throughout a nicety of judgment on the part of those engaged. The prompt and efficient manner with which revenue cutters have responded to demands for special work is creditable to both officers and crews, and leaves no reason to believe that there is any falling off from that high standard of efficiency which has so long characterized the Eevenue Marine. In the early part of April of this year the revenue steamer Bear made a special cruise to western Alaska in the interest of the Department of Justice, for the purpose of arresting criminals and securing witnesses who could not be reached without a special vessel. Later she conveyed to Icy Bay the Eussell exploring expedition, sent out under the auspices of the l^ational Geographic Society of Washington, D. C. This vessel has also given transportation to the commissioner of education for Alaska, and the necessary supplies for the Indian schools in Arctic Alaska. The Bear had on board the supplies for the Point Barrow Eefuge Station, but was unable to reach that point this season on account of the heavy field ice, which prevented the whaling fleet from I)roceeding farther north than Point Belcher. She rendered valuable assistance to a number of whalemen, and returning, reached Unalaska September 17, when she resumed guard duty around the Seal Islands, where she will remain until after December 1. It was learned that the crew of the schooner Silver Wave, of San Francisco, wrecked late last year near Point Barrow, were furnished shelter and subsistence during the winter at the Point Barrow Eefuge Station. Therevenue steamer Eush sailed from San Francisco on May 27 for the Seal Islands, and during the summer cruised 11,088.8 miles in the Bering Sea for the protection of the Government interests in that region and the enforcement of the provisions of the President's proclamation, and the modus vivendi with Great Britain. She boarded in the sea 23 vessels, 13 bf them seal hunters, which were notified to leave the sea at once. The Ettsh seized one vessel, the British schooner F . B. Marvin, of Victoria, for noncompliance with the provisions of the proclamation, after having been warned by the United States steamship LIGHT-HOUSE SEVICE. LXVII Thetis. The Eush returning from her cruise reached San Francisco October 2, and sailed again October 19, to remain in the vicinity of the Seal Islands until December 1 next. The revenue steamer Corwin sailed from San Francisco June 17 for Bering Sea, carrying copies of the President's proclamation and instructions for its enforcement to the other revenue steamers on duty in Alaskan waters, and to the Treasury agents on the Seal Islands. During the season she cruised 9,862.8 miles; boarded and notified 10 seal hunting vessels to leave the sea, and seized 2, the American schooners La Nimpha, of San Francisco, and Ethel, of San Diego, Cal., for noncompliance with such notice. These cases have since been tried in the United States district court of Alaska, and the vessels were condemned. A number of new vessels are urgently needed for the proper maintenance of the service. With a fleet of thirty-six vessels it will be readily seen that unless new craft are added to the fleet annually ihe service must gradually become depleted. The rapidly increasing commerce on the Great Lakes, the Pacific coast, and Puget Sound; the large-number of Chinese subjects unlawfully landing on our shores, and the enormous quantities of opium believed to be smuggled into the United States from contiguous foreign territory; the additional service demanded of the revenue-cutter fleet in protecting Government interests in Alaska, all require new and more jefficient steamers. There is, in consequence, immediate and urgent need for two able cruising steamers for the Pacific coast and two for Lakes Michigan and Ontario, respectively. To meet any sudden contingency, these vessels should possess features and characteristics enabling them to meet demands other than those for assistance to distressed vessels and the enforcement of the customs-revenue laws. This fact has not been lost sight of in the general designs outlined. There is further need at San Francisco for a new boarding steamer. The vessel now engaged on this duty is too small for the efficient performance of the work assigned to her. LIGHT-HOUSE SERVICE. The number of light-stations was increased from 833 to 852. Three first-class light-ships have been finished and placed on stations on .the Atlantic coast. Three other less expensive light-ships are being built for service on the Great Lakes, and will be finished in time to be put on stations this fall. The construction of four other first-class light-ships, three for service on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific coast, has been commenced. They are to have the best illuminating LXVIII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY'OF THE TREASURY. apparatus and fog-signals, and are to be moved to and from their stations by their own steam power. The Board has two first-class steam tenders well under construction, and the plans of a third are nearly finished. The number of buoys, spindles, and day marks was. increased from 4,651 to 4,715 during the last fiscal year. The appropriation for expenses of buoyage last year was $335,000, an increase of $55,000 over the preceding year. With this the Board was able to maintain these aids to navigation and make a slight addition to their number, but not as many as were needed. The number of lights on navigable rivers was increased from about 1,600 to about 1,700; as the increase was mostly on eastern rivers, where it costs more to build and maintain them than it does on western rivers, the average cost was brought up from $160 to about $170 per year each. As each of these river lights serves the purpose that was formerly attained by a light-house costing very much more to build and many times more a year to maintain, it is deemed judicious as well as economical to increase their number. The Board asks an increased appropriation for this purpose. The Light-House Board, in its annual report, again urges that the exhibition of private lights should be prohibited, and that ia penalty, be provided by law for the infraction of its regulations as to the lighting of bridges over navigable streams. ' . MARINE-HOSPITAL SERVICE. The report of the Supervising Surgeon-General* shows that during the last year there were 52,992 sailors treated in the various marine hospitals and dispensaries; that ther^ were 1,133 surfmen and keepers of the Life-Saving Service examined physically, of which number 59 were rejected for disease or disability; that there were 1,182 pilots examined for color blindness, of which number 29 were rejected; and that 243 seamen were examined physically as a prerequisite to their enlistment in the Eevenue-Marine Service, of which number 38 wererejected. The balance of funds available at the commencement of the fiscal year was $106,295.77, and the receipts from all sources during the year (tonnage tax and repayments for care and treatment of foreign seamen, etc.) were $533,760.77. The expenditures were $564,528.53,' leaving a balance on hand at the close of the fiscal year of $75,528.01. The balance of the appropriation for the prevention of epidemic diseases available June 30, 1891, was $157,174.32. * Omitted from this compilation. MARINE-HOSPITAL SERVICE. , LXIX During the year the eight quarantine stations have been in operation, including the new quarantine station on. Angel Island, San Francisco Bay, which was opened for service in April. There were 1,664 vessels inspected at the national quarantines, of which number 113 were detained for disinfection. At the Gulf Quarantine Station, on Chandeleur Islands, 46 vessels, badly infected with yellow fever, were held and disinfected, and 12 yellow-fever patients were taken from these vessels into the lazaretto. As a result not a single case of yellow fever developed on the coast guarded by this quarantine. The other stations were also successfully administered, and the Southern cities have been entirely free from this much-dreaded disease during the past summer. The Supervising Surgeon-Gen eral calls attention to the increased number of cases of leprosy discovered in the United States, and suggests the necessity of a national asylum where these lepers may be permitted to enjoy as much freedom as possible, and yet be removed from contact with other people. Pertinent correspondence relating to this matter is embodied in his report. s / Owing to the prevalence of cholera in the East, and to a want of uniformity in the local health regulations at several of the ports of entry in the United States, a circular has been recently issued prohibiting the entry of rags imported from Marseilles unless previously disinfected. It may be necessary to extend the provisions of this circular to other ports where such rags are rebaled and reshipped. The services of this Bureau of the Government, in aid of the general public health, find further illustration in the copies of correspondence regarding notification to State boards of health of immigrants arriving from infected ports or on infected vessels, and also in the immigration law, in which the duty of inspection of immigrants to be rejected on account of disease is placed upon the officers of this service. The sanitary inspection service has been rigidly maintained at the port of Havana during the year by the sanitary inspector of the MarineHospital Service and his assistant, who examined 636 vessels at that port. Five thousand and twenty-four applicants for certificates to enable the entry of the applicants into the United States during the quarantine season were examined by the sanitary inspector, and certificates were refused to 455 applicants, because through want of acclimation (Havana being an infected port) these persons might convey disease into the United States. . A sanitary inspection has also been maintained on the Mexican frontier at El Paso, Tex. LXX REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. • Interesting investigations have been in progress in the two bacteriological laboratories of the service, and a special report is made by the medical officer in charge of the chief laboratory, who was detailed for observation and- study in the laboratories of Professors Koch and Pasteur. Sanitary reports and statistics have been published weekly throughout the year. ^ The twenty marine hospitals of the United States are reported generally in good condition. STEAMBOAT-INSPECTION SERVICE. The personnel of this service, at the end of the fiscal year, consisted of 152 officers, clerks, and messengers. The number of steam-vessels inspected, belonging to the United States, was 7,404, having 1,503,324.40 net tonnage. The number of foreign steam-vessels inspected was 295. The number of passengers carried on American steamers, it is estimated, was over 500,000,000. The number of lives lost by various accidents was 338. The expenses of the domestic service were $273,295.29 for the fiscal year, and for the foreign service were $12,953.56. The services of the officers known as special foreign inspectors have been dispensed with, and the work is all done by the officers of the domestic service, under special appointments as acting special inspectors without pay, thereby saving the salaries formerly paid the special inspectors. It is recommended that the laws providing a separate class of officers for the inspection of foreign steam-vessels be repealed; a better service is obtained by having such inspections made by the officers of the domestic service, as is now done under Departmental authority Urgent reasons for the proposed legislation are fully set forth in the Secretary's Eeport on the Finances, 1890, as follows: The offices proposed to be abolished are virtually sinecures, and much sought after in consequence, and until they are abolished the Executive will remain subjected to importunity to fill them. Legislation is also asked for regulating the pay of inspectors, great inequality now existing in that respect; and to provide punishment for fraudulently changing or interpolating licenses issued to officers oi steam-vessels, and for false swearing by applicants for such officers' licenses. LIFE-SAVING SERVICE. LXXI LIFE-SAVING SERVICE. At the close of the year there were in operation 238 life-saving stations, 6 having been i)ut in commission and 1 discontinued' during the year. The following statistics give a summary of their operations : The number of disasters to documented vessels within the field of station operations was 331, on board of which were 3,147 persons, of whom 3,105 were saved and 42 lost. The estimated value of the property involved was $6,910,380, of which $5,677,890 was saved and $1,232,490 lost. Thenumber of vessels totally lost was 62. Besides the foregoing there were 160 disasters to smaller craft (sailboats, rowboats, etc.), on which were 344 persons, of whom 336 were saved and 8 lost. The property involved in the latter disasters amounted to $110,425, of which $106,070 was saved and $4,355 lost. The following is the aggregate: , Total number of disasters Total value of property involved Total value of property saved ;..... Total value of property lost Total number of persons on board Total number of persons saved.......... Total number of persons lost., Total number of shipwrecked persons succored at stations Total number of days' succor afforded Number of vessels totally lost 491 $7, 020, 805 | 5 , 783, 960 $1,236,845 3,491 3,441 50 551 1, 516 62 Besides the persons saved from vessels as shown above, 46 others were rescued who had fallen from wharves, etc., and would probably have perished but for the aid of the life-saving crews. The assistance rendered by the service in saving vessels and cargoes was unusually effective, a larger amount of property being saved in proportion to that imperiled than in any former year, with the single exception of 1884. Aid was given to 470 vessels in getting them afloat when stranded, repaired when damaged, piloted out of dangerous places, etc. There were also 210 instances in which vessels in danger of stranding were warned off by the signals-of the patrolmen. The cost of the maintenance of the service during the year was $940,201.04. Since the date of the last report the stations referred to therein as being in process of construction at Knobb's Beach (near ISTewburyport) and Great l^eck (Nantucket), Massachusetts;' Marquette and Bois Blanc Island, Michigan; and Umpquah Eiver, Coos Bay, and Coquille Eiver, Oregon, have been completed and manned for service. One station, located at Neah Bay, in the Straits of Fuca, whiqh was under LXXII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. tlie charge of a keeper without crew, has been discontinued under the provisions of section 2 of the act of May 4, 1882, which authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to discontinue any station whenever, in his /judgment, the interests of commerce and humanity no longer require its existence. Preliminary steps have also been taken looking to the discontinuance of the Cape Malabar House of Eefuge, Florida. \ New stations are now building at Burnt Island (near the mouth of St. George's Eiver), Maine; Quonocontaug, Ehode Island; Fenwick's Island, Delaware, and Ilwaco Beach, Washington. Extensive repairs and improvements have been made during the year to 26 stations on the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina, and similar work is now in progress on several of the stations on the coasts of Delaware, Maryland, and Yirginia. The Sandy Hoot, Seabright, and Cold Spring Stations, New Jersey, and the Ocean City Station, Maryland, have been rebuilt; and a new building is being erected at Gurnet (near Plymouth), Massachusetts, to replace the old station, which will be utilized for a boat house and other purposes. The Ditch Plain Station, coast of Long Island, having been struck by lightning and destroyed on the night of February 28 last, a new station is in progress of construction to supply its place. > The telephone system of the service has been considerably extended during the year by short lines connecting stations in the neighborhood of cities with local systems, by means of which steam-tugs and other aids can be readily summoned on occasion of disaster, and a new line is being built from station to station along the Ehode Island coast. The last two annual reports of the Secretary called attention to the inadequacy of the compensation allowed to the keepers and crews of stations, upon whose skill, bravery, and honest devotion to most perilous and exacting duty the good name of the service and the lives of imperiled mariners depend, in the last report itwas shown that during that year more than 30 per cent, of the trained men had left the stations in the Lake districts, and a somewhat smaller percentage on the ocean coasts, for more lucrative employment, occasioning considerable embarrassment to the seryice. This exodus has increased during the past year, and its continuance can not fail to seriously affect the efficiency of the corps. Many of the remaining veterans are only retained by the hope of better wages, which the repeated recommendations of the Department and the justice of the case have excited. The hope is earnestly Expressed that the relief, which simple justice to the men and the preservation of the high standard of efficiency which this servic'e has hitherto maintained alike demand, may not be longer deferred. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVE,Y. LXXIII COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY. Among the operations referred to by the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey in his annual report,* the following may be named as of special importance : Surveys relating to the location of a part of ^ the northeastern boundary line between the United States and the Dominion of Canada ; resurvey of Nantucket Shoals; observations of tides, currents, densities, and temperatures in Long Island Sound and to the south of Martha's Yineyard, in codperation with the work of the U. S. Fish Commission; completion of the detailed topographical survey of the District of Columbia; observations begun at Eockville, Md., and at San Francisco, Cal., for ascertaining the variations of latitude, in cooperation with the work of the International Geodetic Association; survey for the site of a light-house on Cape Hatteras Shoals ; continuation of the investigations in the Gulf Stream, and preparation for j)ublication of a volume relating to the methods of the investigation and the results of the research ; connection of the primary triangulation on qr near the 39th parallel advancing to the westward in the State of Indiana with that advancing to the eastward in the same State ; extension to Kansas City of the transcontinental line of geodetic leveling; reconnaissance along the boundary line on the Eio Grande between the United States and Mexico; establishment off the coast of California, at the request of the Navy Department, of a trial course for the new naval cruiser Sa7i Francisco^ advance of the primary triangulation in California by the occupation of Mount Conness; special surveys of harbors in Puget Sound for the Harbor Line Commission of the State of Washington, and continuation of the preliminary operations relating to the location of the boundary line between Alaska and the British Possessions in North America.. Advantage was taken by the Superintendent of opportunities afforded by his visit of inspection to the Pacific coast to determine gravity with hew and improved apparatus at a number of stations in California^ Washington, and .Alaska. In compliance with a request from the International Geodetic Association, and with the sanction of the Secretary of the Treasury, an officer of the Survey was instructed to proceed to the Hawaiian Islands and aid an, offi cer detailed by that Association in observations relating to the variations of latitude. He was further directed to determine simultaneously with latitude the force of gravity at sea-level, and also, when practicable, near the summit of Manna Kea. * Omitted from this compilation. LXXIV REPORT OF. THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. The demand for the charts of the Survey has for some years past ex.ceeded the capacity of the office presses, but new presses and increased working room, soon to become available, will probably enable all public requirements to be met. During the fiscal year 1891, there were issued 52,959 copies of charts, 3,153 of which were for the use of Congress, 2,651 for the Executive Departments, and 31,465 to sale agents. Of Notices to Mariners^—issued monthly or oftener, as occasion demanded—139,000 copies were printed for free distribution. The publication of Coast Pilots and Tide Tables was continued. Of the Coast Pilots for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, 1,052 copies were distributed. The manuscripts of the^ Tide Tables, predicting times and heights of high and low waters on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for 1892, were sent to press before the close of the fiscal year. ' ' The building known as the Eichards building, so long occupied by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, was purchased for the use of that Bureau by an appropriation in the Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1891. In the same act the purchase of the Butler building adjoining, a part of which had long been used by the same service, was also provided for, my predecessor having recommended to Congress that it be bought for the use of the Survey, to afford a much needed increase in the facilities for printing and publishing charts. Before the close of the fiscal year, however, it became imperative to make new provision for the Marine-Hospital Service, and it was necessary to utilize the greater part of the Butler building for this purpose. A new building, much more perfectly adapted to the needs of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, can be erected at comparatively small cost on the ground belonging to the Eichards building, and, knowing the need for increased room for the proper execution of this important branch of the public service, I respectfully recommend and urge Congress to provide at an early day for the erection of such a building. Office of Weights and Measures. The work of constructing sets of standard weights and measures for the States that have not yet received them was continued in the Office of Weights and Measures. Comparisons of thermometers were made for the Internal-Eevenue Bureau; comparisons of coin weights for the United States Mint at San Francisco, and of series of test weights for the United States Mint at Carson City, Nev. At the request of the Secretary of the Treasury an examination was undertaken of the standards in use in the sugar laboratories of the appraisers' offices in Bos- ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. LXXV ton. New York, and Philadelphia, and carried to a successful conclusion. Subsequently, at the request of the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, a commission consisting of experts representing the Department of Agriculture, the Internal-Eevenue Bureau, and the Office of Weights and Measures was organized with a view of deciding upon improved methods in the analysis of sugars, and of framing regulations for determining the polarization of those upon which a bounty is paid. For the reasons stated in the last report of my predecessor, I renew the recommendation made by him that the metric system of weights and measures be made obligatory in transactions at United States customhouses ft'om and after the first day of the calendar year 1895. ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. The work of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing during this year exceeded that of any other for fourteen years, a considerable' portion of this increase being the Treasury notes provided for by the act of July 14, 1890. So great was the demand for these and other small notes that it was necessary to work the larger part of the force of the •Bureau overtime throughout the entire year. During a portion of the time work commenced at 7 a. m. and continued until 6:30 p. m. In view of this large increase of work, it became necessary to adopt some method of executing at least a part of the printing more rapidly than by the methods heretofore in use. After full and careful consideration of the matter, the Chief of the Bureau recommended that the internal-revenue stamps, known as strip tobacco stamps, be printed from steel plates engraved in relief, which would permit of the printing of these stamps at the rate of 7,000 to 8,000, instead of from 700 to 800, sheets per press daily, as by the method of printing from intaglio plates. Samples of stamps printed by this method were submitted, and after full investigation by the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, the recommendation of the Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was approved by the Department, and the stamps are now being printed by this method. It is estimated that a saving of about $156,000 a year will be effected by this change. The erection of the additional wing to the Bureau building, authorized by Congress, progressed steadily during the year, and it is now finished and occupied by the Bureau. The additional facilities afforded by this wing, together with the change in the method of printing the strip tobacco stamps, permits of the execution of the work of the Bureau within the regular hours for business—that is, from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. daily. The business of this Bureau is now in a very satisfactory condition. LXXVI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. There were 392 public buildings completed and occupied, in course of construction, not yet commenced, and for which properties for sites had been, or were being, selected, and titles thereto acquired, under the control of the Treasury Department and the supervision and direction of the office of the Supervising Architect during the year ending September 30, 1891, of which number—^ One hundred and twenty were in course of construction, including those to which extensions or additions, alterations, and repairs were being made under special appropriations, and sites were selected or being selected. Two hundred and fifty were completed prior to September 30, 1890, and 19 were completed and 3 were purchased during the past year, making 272 completed and occupied; and all work of repairs thereon, or the repairs to the heating, hoisting, and elevator apparatus therein, were properly chargeable to the general appropriations. Seventy-eight sites and buildings were authorized during the first and second sessions of the Fifty-first Congress. Eleven sites remain to be selected. The amount of money expended on public buildings for the year ending September 30, 1891, is as follows: For sites and in the construction of new public buildings, extensions and repairs specially provided for $5, 514, 250 88 For repairs and preservation of public buildings 228, 644 10 For heating apparatus for public buildings 119, 745 19 For vaults, safes, and .locks for public buildings.. 48, 304 98 For photographic duplication of the plans for public buildings. 3, 484 18 For vaults for storage of silver, NewOrleans, La., and San Francisco, . Cal 34,273 55 Total expenditure % , 5,948,702 78 Among the recommendations of the Supervising Architect to which the attention of Congress is invited is that suggesting the enactment of a general law directing the mode of acquiring sites for public buildings; preparation of plans, and proceeding with the work of construction, leaving for special legislation simply the designation of the place to be proyided for and the sum to be appropriated. At present the numerous individual acts providing for public buildings repeat these directions in substantially the same language, thus encumbering the statutes unnecessarily. Another recommendation worthy of attention is that suggesting a law providing for a corps of superintendents of construction CLAIMS. LXXVII of public buildings, thus giving to the service superintendents especially selected because of their fitness, and further qualified by their constant experience, in the place of temporary local appointees in too many instances unqualified for their important duties. CLAIMS. The importance of providing some limitation of time within which claims against the Government shall be prosecuted, or, for want of such prosecution, be forever barred, is urged upon the attention of Congress. It may be assumed that any claim in behalf of an individual who is in a situation to present it will, if well founded, be presented for payment within six years from the time when the claimant's right first accrued. Su ch li mitations form part of the codes 'of all civilized nations, and experience has shown that, as between individuals, less injustice is done by the conclusive presumption that claims, thus delayed beyond a reasonable time, are unfounded or have been adjusted, than by allowing them to be prosecuted after witnesses to the transaction have died or been lost sight of, and other evidence has been destroyed. The presumption is much stronger in case of a claim against the Government than in one against an individual. The Government is always solvent and can always be found, and it is difficult to suggest a reason why a valid claim against it should not be presented within the term of six years. Under the present circumstances, it is impossible to administer equal justice to those who" present old claims. The Comptrollers and Commissioner of Customs have by law the final determination of all claims coming within their jurisdiction, and while one of them, or the Auditor who first considers the claim, may reject it because its prosecution has been for many years delayed, and he therefore believes it to be unfounded, another officer feels it his duty to examine it upon such evidence as may still exist, because Congress has not interposed a statute ' of limitation in bar of its allowance. The First Comptroller, in his report,* has called special attention to the importance of some limitation of this character. It is recommended, therefore, that it be provided by law that no claim pending in any of the Executive Departments shall be allowed unless presented for payment within six years after such claim first accrued, with the usual exception in favor of claimants disqualified by age, or otherwise, fi^om prosecuting claims within such time. The First Comptroller also recommends in his repoit that the act of March 3, 1887 (24 Stat., 505), providing for the bringing of suits against * See Appendix, page 501. LXXVIII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. the Government, be amended or repealed; that additional legislation be had touching the subject of double compensation to public oflicers; and that provision be made for turning into the Treasury the balance on June 30,1891, standing to the credit of the appropriation for '^deposits by individuals for surveying public lands." W O R L D ' S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. Work is progressing satisfactorily in the preparation of a suitable contribution by the Treasury Department to the Government exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition. Pursuant to the provisions of law, the Supervising Architect of the Treasury has completed suitable plans for the Government Exposition building. A contract for the construction has been approved, involving an expenditure of $316,767, and work is going forward upon the structure. SEAL ISLANDS. It has been well known to the Department for some years that there was a marked diminution in the number of seals returning annually to the Pribyloff Islands. This decrease affected the rookeries so, seriously that a modus vivendi was entered into between the United States and Great Britain, by the terms of which the number of seals to be killed on the islands between June 15, 1891, and May 1, 1892, was limited to 7,500, and their destruction in that part of Bering Sea lying eastward of the line of demarcation described in article I of the treaty of 1867 was prohibited for the same period. From reports made by the Treasury agents at the islands, who were instructed to investigate the subject, it would seem that the killing of vast numbers of female seals in the open waters by pelagic hunting is the prime factor in the rapid decrease of seals, and if persisted in will undoubtedly result in the speedy annihilation of these valuable furbearing animals. This will more clearly appear when it is stated that although the proclamation of the modus vivendi was issued on June 15, 1891, more than 50,000 skins were taken by sealing schooners during the past season, and as but a small percentage of the seals killed at sea are secured, the figures given would indicate the actual destruction of many times that nutnber. It would therefore seem that restrictive measures are imperatively needed for the protection of this valuable animal, which contributes so largely to the wealth and comfort of the world at large. Attention is also invited to the fact that on the islands of St. Paul and St. George there are 300 native inhabitants who are supported by their labor in RECORD OP PROPERTY FILES DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. LXXIX taking seals for the lessees of the islands, and as this industry is affected by the operations of the pelagic sealers, the natives who, to some extent at least, may be regarded as the nation's wards, must be provided for from the public funds. There are other matters relating to this subject to which at the proper time I may deeifi it advisable to invite the attention of ConRECORD OF REAL PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE UNITED STATES. Attention is again invited to the need of legislation to provide suitN able registry of deeds and other evidences of title to real property acquired and held for the use of the United States. These instruments are now deposited in various offices in the several Departments, and their production when required often involves much labor and research, which would .be obviated by collecting them into one place of deposit and record. This would also afford means of ready reference to the history of titles, and better assure the discovery and perfecting of defective and disputed titles, and the recovery of property which, through disuse or otherwise, has been lost sSight of and come into the wrongful possession of private parties. OFFICIAL FILES OF THE GOVERNMENT. My predecessors for many years past have called the attention of Congress to the importance of providing a suitable building, centrally located, for the safe and convenient keeping of the official recordwS, documents, and papers of the Government. The importance and urgency of this matter cannot be overstated, and I earnestly recommend that early and favorable action be taken by Congress looking to the erection of such a building. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The net expenditures on account of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year .1891 were $5,635,510.61. The revenues deposited in the Treasury on this account, for the same period, were $2,853,897.74. There have been issued during the fiscal year 1891, $50,750 of the 3.65 per cent, bonds, in satisfaction of judgments of the Court of Claims against the District. There have been retired by the operations of the sinking-fund dujing the same period $331,500 of the bonded indebtedness of the District, making a net reduction of $280,750, and reducing the annual interest charge $16,982. LXXX REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. The net reduction in the bonded debt since July 1, 1878, is $2,606,350, and in the annual interest charge $177,339.72. The bonded debt July 1,1891, was $19,500,300, of which there were due and payable on that date $2,490,200 6 per cent, bonds and $276,700 7 per cent, bonds. To provide for the payment of these bonds Congress, by act approved March 3, 1891, authorized the issue of 3.50oper cent. b6nds, and the Treasurer, in compliance with the provisions of the law, caused the bonds to be prepared, advertised, and has sold $2,400,000 at a premium of five hundred and thirty-one one-thousandths per cent., realizing tho sum of $2,412,744, to be applied to the redemption of the matured bonds. The act also authorized the sale of sufficient 3.50 per cent, bonds to pay the bonds maturing in 1892. The amount realized from the sale of bonds in which the retentions from contracts with the District of Columbia were invested, in excess of the amount due the contractors, have been deposited in the Treasury as a miscellaneous receipt to the credit of the United States and District of Columbia in equal parts, as required by the act of February 25, 1885. The net surplus from this source at the close bf the fisaal year 1890was$30,676.18. During tjie fiscal year 1891, in settlement of these accounts, the sum due the contractors is in excess of the amount realized from the sale of bonds, showing a net loss of $2,609.22, reducing the net surplus at the close of the fiscal year 1891 to $28,066.96. The detailed information in regard to the affairs of the District of Columbia will be found in the report to be submitted by the District Commissioners and b y t h e Treasurer of the United States, ex-offlcio" commissioner of the sinking fund of the District.

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

TREASURY OF T H E U N I T E D STATES, Washington, December Ij 1891, S I R : I have tlie honor to submit the annual report on the operations and condition of the Treasury. For convenience of reference, the tabular stateinents relating to the work of the past fiscal year, as well as those covering longer I)eriods of time, are presented in the A|)pendix,3where they are grouped according to their topics in the following general order: The revenues and expenditures; the state of the Treasury; the receipts and disbursements of moneys; the issue and redemption of currency; the circulation; the public debt; and the redemption of national-bank notes. In the preparation of the tables it has been the aim to begin with the the minutest particulars that possess any degree of public interest, 'to combine these into classes and groups, and lastly to deduce the net results. The operations of the fiscal year, forming the chief subject-matter in hand, are shoAvn with much attention to detail, while those of former years, where brought in for the purpose of presenting a connected historic survey, are treated in a more summary manner. From considerations suggested by current discussion and events, these tables have been a good deal elaborated, for which perhaps no apology will be necessary, if in any measure they may serve to'throw new light on the matters to which they relate. Important legislation, creating a new kind of currencyj imposing a new responsibility upon the Treasury, and completely transforming some of the Departmental statements, has made it necessary to alter a number of tables which have been more or less familiar to the readers of former reports. Some other tables heretofore published, relating to transactions long past, or to events of transient interest only, have been shortened or dropped; but no matter of this kind has been omitted, it is believed, that would be usefid in forming an understanding of the business of the Treasury, or its bearing upon the financial history of the country. So far as it has been loossible the statistics relating to similar subjects have been compiled according to a uniform i)lan and are presented in uniform shape. REPORT ON T H E FINAKCES. REVENUES AND E X P E N D I T U R E S . There was a decrease of $10,468,535.32 in the net ordinary revenues of the Government for the fiscal year as compared with those of the year£before, from $403,080,982.63 to $392,612,447.31. At the same time there was an increase of $57,636,198.14 in the ordinary exi3enditures, excluding therefrom the amount paid in premium on the public debt. The surplus revenues were thus cut down from $105,344,496.03 to $37,239,762.57. Of this last sum $10,401,220.61 was expended in premium on bonds purchased, leaving $26,838,541.96 of surplus for the year applicable to the extinction of as much of the principal of the debt. ^ The net ordinary receipts and expenditures for the two years, together with the premiums paid, are shown in the following table: 1890. 1891.

The expenditures on the same account, which will be noticed more in detail under another head, amount(3d to $365,352,470.87. The postal revenues amounted to $65,762,908.55, an increase of $4,656,867.26 over those of the preceding year, and the expenc^itures°to $72,067,580.65, an increase of $5,056,317.01. Of the revenuiis $38,730,624.39 was received and disbursed by postmasters, without passing through the Treasury. The balance standing to the credit of the Post-Office Department on the Treasurer's books was $5,805,621.79 at the beginning of the year and $4,242,608.13 at the close. TtlEASt:Rli!H. 5 STATE OF THE TREASURY. As a public officer the Treasurer is responsible to his sui)erior for the performance of his duties, which consist generally in receiving, keeping, and disbursing the funds of the Government. He stands in the same relations to the Department that a banlier does tQ a depositor. For each receipt or disbursement he must have a proper warrant; for the balance, representing the excess of receipts over disbursements, he must be able to show an. equivalent in lawful money or other acceptable assets. , In its essential form the account kept with him on the books of the Department is a sim]3le record of receipts on the one hand and of payments on the other. Save in exceptional cases the Departinent has no concern in the kinds of money he may receive or pay out. He may accept from the taxpayer any kind of money the law allows, a^nd he may satisfy the public creditor, iinless a.particular kind is specified in the contract, with any he can most conveniently pay. Hence it follows that the condition of the Treasury, with respect to the proi^ortions of the difierent kinds of money composing its funds, is dependent much upon the character of the circulating medium of the country, and to a very great extent upon the management of the Treasurer and his subordinate officers. A most important consideration with reference to the state of the Treasury is, therefore, how much of each kind of money the ^Treasurer may have in his custody against the balance charged to him on the books of the Department. On June 30,1890, that balance was $691,527,403.76. Adding thereto the sum of $765,821,30^.06, which comprises the receipts of theyear from all sources, gives $1,457,348,708.82 as the aggregate to be accounted for on June 30, 1891. Out of .this there was disbursed, by warrant, the total sum of $355,372,684.74 on account of the ordinary expens,es of the Government, together with a total sum of $375,753,691.48 on account of the public debt, making an aggregate disbursement of $731,126,376.22, and leaving a balance of $726,222,332.60, for which the Treasurer must be able to jjroduce cash or other valid assets. The foregoing statement does not, however, comprise the whole of the operations of the Treasury, nor do the figures rei^resent the sum of its liabilities. Besides being the bank of the General Government, the Treasury is also the depository of the Post-Office Department, of the national bank note redemption fund, and of the disbursing officers of the various services of the Government, to whom the moneys to meet the expenditures are advanced in the first instance. Through these channels a stream of money flows continuously in and out of theTreasury, and a varying amount is always on hand, for which the Treasurer is responsible on his so-called agency account, and for which also he must hold cash or available credits. The balance of this account standing on his books was $95,581,164.22 on June 30, 1890, and $50,290,009.36 on June 30, 1891. Lastly, the Treasurer held, at the former date, the sum of $323,589.78, and at the latter, the sum of $1,342,603.71, which had been received on account of revenues, but not yet covered by warrant or charged to him on the books of the Department. The total liabilities of theTreasury, therefore, in the strictest technical sense in which the term is understood, were $787,432,157.76 at the opening of the fiscal year, and $777,854,945.67 at the close. To meet these liabilities the Treasury held in the vaults and tills of its ten offices, and in the several associated offices of the mint, in the 6 REI>0RT ON THE FINANCES. form of gold, silver, legal tender and other notes, certificates of deposit, minor coin, fractional currencj^, bonds, interest checks, and COUPOIIKS, an aggregate of cash items, which with the amounts on dex)osit to the Treasurer's credit in. depositary banks, a certain, sum deposited under a law of 1836 with the States, and certain unavailable ftinds, composed exactly the same^ amounts.

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

The explanation is found in the certificates in the Treasury, against which nothing needed to be held, and which might have been canceled and destroyed without decreasing either the reserve or the assets necessary to protect the certificates in-circulation. If the $31,215,633 of certificates in the Treasury in 1890 and the $41,807,579 there in 1891 had in fact been destroyed, the statement would have appeared thus: June 30, 1890. ! ASSETS.

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

Classified according to these conditions, the amounts outstandiug at the two dates were as follows: C o n d i t i o n of p a y m e n t .

A considerable part of these disbursements were made at a time when the financial situation of the country was liighly critical and the need of such relief was very urgent. At the same time, during the months of September and October, 1890, as a further means of relieving the monetary stringency, there were paid out of the Treasury, chiefly at the offices in Washington and New York, under t.tie circular of the Department dated September 6, the following amounts for interest due from January 1 to July 1, 1891: Bonds.

They do not pretend to be an estimate of the total metallic stock, but only of the monetary, stock. The distinction is a t once explained and established by con-siderations which will appear later on.

The notes of 1890 have some peculiarities of their own, which will be CQusidered under another head.' By making the substitution for the certificates and treating all the silver and notes for the present as one item, the following result is broiight-oiit: • . Outstanding. Kind.

This difference, although it appears to be one of fact, is really one of time. T h e . Secretary's staitement was prepared on the day of its date, from data then at hand^ some of which, coming from distant subtreasuries, were 12' REPofti:' -.OJT' fail t^tNAi^cEg. from one or two days to a week old. I t happened that in the intervals there were heavy receipts at these offices from the revenues, while a large sum was in transit from depositary banks. These changes in the Treasury, are fully explained in the appendix, and the apparent diffeience in the amount of money in circulation is a direct consequence from them. I t appears from the above figures that during the year there was a net loss of forty-nine millions of gold, with a net gain of nearly forty-two miUions of other money, and a consequent net contraction of about seven millions in the whole volume. The details of the movements which together produced this result, as well as those for each year since 1878, may be gathered from the tables in the appendix, which show the composition and distribution of the stock of money, together with the imports and exports of gold, at intervals of a month. Collated from that source, the figures showing the movements of gold, and the resulting changes in the amount of the general stock of that metal, for each month of the last fiscal year, are as follows: Month.

These are filled in by adding the imports to the stock of the previous month, subtracting the exports from t h e sum, and comparing the remainder with the estimated stock at the end of the month. If the remainder is less than the estimated stock, the difference is set down as the net production; if less, as the net consumption for the inonth. I t may be remarked, too, that the figures for the stock are those frirnished by the Director of the Mint, and published monthly by the Department, with the exception of those for June in each year, which are taken fi^om the revised estimate published in the Director's annual report. As the regular monthly estimates are unavoidably made from imperfect data, they must be taken as provisional or approximate merely; a.nd necessarily whatever inaccuracies they may contain are reproduced in the figures, which here^are derived from them. The estimates for the end of each fiscal year, however, may be relied upon as the best that can be, obtained. I t is assumed, therefore, that the figures above given for the net production of the year are correct, and that the errors, if any, in the column of monthly production' are offset by those in the column of > monthly consumption. 13 TREASURER. Such heavy exports of gold as signalized the last six months of the year, the heaviest by far that have been recorded in the history of the country, naturally excited profound interest, not only at home, but throughout the whole world. To the Treasury this outflow was particularly significant, since the Treasury was obliged to furnish all the material. I t is well understood, indeed, and it will appear in other parts of the present report, that this gold was drawn almost altogether from the sub-treasury in New York, in exchange for other kinds of money. I t is important to know, and the inquiry may throw some light upon the monetary situation, what those other kinds of money were. The records do not a];)pear to have been kept in such a manner as to show directly, and in the lack of better data the daily report of receipts and disbursements rendered to this office have been resorted to. During the period in question the assistant treasurer paid out gold coin for gold certificates directly, for gold certificates and other kinds of money upon what is called his exchange account, and in small sums on disbiirsing officers' checks. It has been x)ossi.ble, therefore, to compile two tables, which Avill bc found in the appendix, the one showing all the operations involving the paying out of gold for other kinds of money, and the other all the rest of the operations of whatever nature. Summarized for the six months ending with June, the first of these shows the following result: K i n d of m o n e y .

No statute requires the importation, exportation, mining, or industrial employment of a single dollaris worth of gold. Whatever expenditure of time, labor, and substance the cost may have been was made at private risk, presumably for private profit. The motives of the miner and the goldsmith are plain; the circumstances which give the opportunity to either are equally so. The exporter of gold is not less the simple man of business. Before an ounce of gold is put aboard ship his profit is certain or reasonably sure. In the exercise of a legitimate calling, performing, in fact, a necessary and useful service for the commercial world, he is not to blame that his clients have been willing to pay him his premiums, or that his operations in the short siD'ace of six months have drained the country of the tenth part of its entire stock of gold. This result, even, is differently viewed by different interests. Nevertheless, the condition of things which has made it possible, whether due to domestic or foreign causes, to financial legislation or the state of trade, whether viewed as unusual and alarming or as ordinary and of no significance, would seem to be worthy of the most carefril study. No attempt is here made to throw any light on the subject further than to state the facts and to advance a few jDoints, which^ thoughjying on the surface, are often overlooked. 14 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Concurrently with the operations in gold there went on a set of others, which affected the remainder of the currency to nearly as great an extent. These, however, were induced by causes entirely different and perfectly plain. They consisted in the purchase and coinage of silver, conducted, of course, by the Government in compliance with law, and the contraction of the national-bank circulation, induced, in the main, by the retirement of the bonded debt. The former ^produced an increase of fifty-eight millions in the stock of silver, and the latter a diminution of eighteen millions in the stock of bank notes. The changes from month to month in the stock of silver dollars and bullion, of fractional silver coin, and national-bank notes, are shown in the following table: Increase. Month.

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

No such transition has been passed through since, nor haA^e any such rapid changes occurred in the circulation. Within that period the amount of money in the hands of the people increased from season to season and from year to year; but since then, Avith the single exception already noted,, a greater or smaller growth from January to July has been followed by a contraction of less volume and narrower variations from July to January. It seeins proper, therefore, in computing an average for comparison with the results of a single year, to take only the data for the ten years since 1881, a period in which it is true there have been some changes of legislation, and some other important occurrences both at home and abroad, but a period nevertheless in which substantially the same conditions have prevailed as now exist. For the past ten years, then, it is found that from the end of June to the end of December the circulation has been increased on the average by $52,200,000, and from the end of December to the end of June it has been diminished on the average by $14,200,000, leaving an average net gain of $38,000,000 for the whole twelvemonth. The increase actually reahzed in the past year has, therefore, been nearly double the average, and in the past tA\^o years has exceeded the average h j $43,000,000. The bearing of these facts upon possible future changes . in the currency^may be worthy of serious consideration in the present situation of the monetary affairs of the country. The plan of receiving money at the subtreasuries and forwarding new notes, Avhich during the autumn months are wanted in small denominations, from Washington to any j^lace that may be designated, has been found to work Avell as an aid in moAdng the crops, and has been in satisfactory operation during the season now about to close. Congress at the last session made proAdsions, which were promptly carried out, for largely increasing the facilities of the printing bureau, and the personal attention of the Secretary, who early in the summer gave directions that CA^ery resource of the Department should be employed in the work of supplying currency, has produced a result which has been not less beneficial to the country than gratifying to the officials of the Treasury. Under his superAdsion an ample stock of notes, in denominations of from $1 to $20, was ready when the time came, a thing that had not happened" before in some years. North, South, and West have been freely supplied with whatever kind of currency was wanted, at inconsiderable expense to the consignors, while the Treasury has suffered from none of the embarrassments which it so often labored under before, as the consequence of inadquate foresight and provision. Between July 1st and November 13th the Department sent out in all directions $49,272,278 in these small notes, chiefly for deposits in the subtreasury in New York. During the month of September alone these deposits amounted to upAvards of $21,000,000, or more than the aggregate for the months of July, August, and September, 1890, and they AYcre followed by $13,000,000 more in October. The magnitude of these operations can be appreciated by comparing them with the like transactions in the twelve months of the past fiscal year, which reached a total of only $61,000,000. With the aid thus rendered to the commercial community the handling of the enormous crops of the year has required httle effort and produced no strain, while money has never been easier or more plentiful. FI 91 2 18 = REPORT ON THE FINANCES, I t was x)ointed out in the last report that the policy, which has been persisted in for the past eight years, of making no provision for the free transportation of United States paper currency to Washington for redemption, imposes double work upon the Department, without effecting any considerable saAdng of expense. So long as the Government paid the express charges on worn-out notes and certificates they Avere sent in to the Treasury by bankers from nearly every part of the country for other kinds of money or for checks on the assistant treasurers. In this way the paper circulation was kept in good condition, the people had no difficulty in obtaining the kinds and denominations of money they wished, and the work of redemption was carried on at Washington, where the machinery for it has been erected. But when the appropriations were stopped, in 1883, and the banks were required to bear the transportation charges on the Avorn United States currency they sent to Washington, they chose rather to pay it out in their business, if it was at all fit for use, or to send it to their nearest correspondent. The notes thus find their way to the large cities, and next into the subtreasuries, either in the public revenues or for redemption in lawful money. After having been counted and assorted there, they are put up in iDarcels and sent to the Treasury, of course at the Government's expense. Here they are again counted, in the same manner as if they had been received directly from the interior bank, and they are ultimately paid for, in seasons when the receipts are not largely in excess of the disbursements, by shipment^ of new money to supply the subtreasuries, hkewise at the expense of the Treasury. Only a small proportion of the notes redeeined each year are received directly from private holders, and only a like proportion of the cost of transportation is saved to the Government. A t the same time the labor of primary redemption is practically transferred to the subtreasuries, and the Treasury acts merely in rcAdew of their work. A return to the former practice would seem to be prudent, if, indeed, it did not prove, on trial, to be advantageous in several Avays. An effect that would probably result from it would be the more rapid retirement of the older issues, of which the remnants still extant are worn by the service of many years. TREASURY NOTES OF 1890. On August 19,1890, there A^ere paid out the first of the "Treasury notes authorized by the act of July 14, of the same year, to be issued in the purchase of silver buUion. B y t h e end of the fiscal year the issues had reached $50,228,417, and on the 30th of September last there were $64,251,130 of the notes outstanding, of the denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $100, and $1,000. These notes seem destined to assume a prominent and peculiar place in the financial history of the future. They possess properties and qualities Avhich are nowhere to be found in any other description of currency. The operations of which their issue forms a part are the most important of the kind, in character and magnitude, noAV going on anywhere in the world: The exact status of the notes has yet to be settled, and the precise duties they are to perform in the circulation haA^e yet to be determined. The law which creates them presents several difficulties of construction. In constitution they much resemble the older legal-tender notes, while in mode of issue they are more like silver certificates. As the United States notes, after many years of discussion, are generally recogTiized 19 TREASURER. to be a loan secured by a reserve of a hundred millions of gold, so the new notes will doubtless, in time, be regarded as a similar loan, secured by a full deposit of silver dollars and bulb on. For the time being, at least, they are so treated by the Department, as Avill be seen by the follOAving table, Avhich shows the amount of bullion and coin held against them at the end of each month, the amount of notes issued, and their distribution as be tAveen the Treasury and the circulation: Month.

This has added a UCAV intricacy to the monetary sj^stem and a new class to the assets of the Treasury. Let a million dollars' worth of silver be purchased Avith a million dollars' Avorth of notes, and let the notes be deposited for certificates, and there appears on the face of things to have been a sudden expansion of the currency by $3,000,000. Then let the certificates be returned in the revenues, and the Treasury has increased its cash holdings by the same amount, while the real effect of the whole operation has been that the Treasury has received a milhon^of .revenue in silver bullion at the market price, and has assumed the obligation to reissue, in its expenditures, a million of its promissory notes for redemption in silver or gold at its own option. The Aartual increase of the money stock has, of course, been only a million dollars, in the shape of uncoined sih^er A^alued at the current price of that metal in the markets of the Avorld. , In compiling the statistics relating to the currency, and more particular! 3^ in attempting to make plain the complicated relations existing between the Treasury, the monetary stock, and the circulation, it has been found couA^enient, if indeed it be not necessary, to treat the increase of money resulting fr'om the operations of the law of 1890 as consisting of silver alone. On the other hand, since the notes, whether in the hands of the citizen or in the tills of the Treasury, are the evidences of the obhgation to pay, not in silver alone, but in gold or. silver, the increase of the circulation its.elf, as well as that of the assets of the Treasury, so far as it is due to the x)resence of the new paper, is treated as one of notes alone. There is thus presented the paradox of a groAvth of the stock of silver without change in the stock, of notes, and agroAvth of the circulation of notes without change in the circulation of silver. Upon a little reflection, however, it Avill doubtless be recognized that this, i^axadoxical as it may ax^pear, is the simplest vicAv that can be taken of what is actually going on. In this vicAv, at least, has the matter been considered in the present report, the first of the series in Avhich 20 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. the subject has been mentioned; and it has been found possible to marshal the statistics of the currency on these lines, in such manner as to exhibit the composition of the whole stock, and its distribution between the' Treasury and the people, in the simplest form, without conflict or contradiction, save on this point alone. An enormous respouvsibility is imposed hy this law of 1890 upon the Treasury and mint. Fifty-four million troy ounces are 3,702,857 avoirdux)ois pounds,, or upAvards of 1,851 tons. Nearly two thousand cart loads of silver must be stowed away each year in the Government's vaults. The annual collection of such a vast quantity of treasure, which, though Avidely distributed, must necessarily accumulate in heaA^y masses, Avill ultimately, if continued for any great length of time, raise questions not merely of safe-keeping, but even of national defense. THE COINAGE. More liberal appropriations by Congress have made it possible to effect a measurable improvement in the condition of the coinage, particularly the silver, and at the same time to relieve the Treasury of a large part of the superfluous subsidiary coins Avhich it has had to carry for a number of years. During the fiscal year the following ainounts of gold, silver, and minor coins were transferred from the Treasury offices to the mint to berecoined, or, in the case of the last, to be cleaned where recoinage was unnecessary: kind.

In the case of the gold the loss was a little less than one-half of 1 per cent, while in that of the silver it was upwards of 5 i)er cent. The kind and amount of uncurrent coin held in the several offices of the Trea:sur3^ on June 30 last, as compared with the total for the same date in 1890, are shown in the following table: Office.

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

Since the date of the last report there have been seen at this office two examples of a new counterfeit of the . ten-dollar United States note bearing the Adgnette of Webster; four of the five-dollar note of the Quincy National Bank, of Quincy, IU.; and one of the five-doUar note of the First National Bank, of Bay City, Mich., all photogra/phic. Under date of August 6, 1891, the Kinsman National Bank, of Kinsman, Ohio, informed the Treasurer that $500 of its notes, of the denomination^ of $10 and $20, bearing Treasury numbers 577058 to 577067 and bank numbers 520 to 529, signed by the president but not by the cashier, had been stolenTrom its vault by burglars. Under the regnilations of the Department these notes A^ill not be redeemed at this office. None of them have yet been seen, and it is not known whether they have been put in circulation, or not. Thdre has been redeemed out of the appropriation of $2,500 ma;de by the act of September 30, 1890, the aggregate sum of $1,350 of the notes of the Third National Bank, of >New York; the First NationalBank, of Jersey City; and the National City Bank, of Lynn, which were stolen, between the years 1864 and 1868, from the office of the Comptroller of tlie Currency. The estimate for the appropriation was prepared in this office from the records of former rejections, and proAdded for all of the notes certainly knoA^n to have been in circulation and not redeemed out of a former appropriation, Anth a small margin of excess. Since the appropriation became available a sum in notes never before seen at this office has been redeeined, which, together Avith the remainder of the notes estimated for, would exceed the amount authorized to be used; but as the fact that the notes had become payable was widely announced in the newspapers, and as none of them have been presented since February 4, it is presumable that not many more of them are in existence. Out of a block of forty-tAvo consecutive numbers of the hundred-dollar notes not one has ever been seen, and it has always been understood that these, with a large part of the others, were destroyed by the thief to avoid detection. Although the appropriation Avill doubtless be ample to provide for the retirement of the last of these notes, the= Treasurer can not take them from the list of irredeemable notes, because so many of them are still theoretically outstanding Avithout any provision to meet them. Although the jmblic may feel reasonably sure that all danger from them has been removed, yet as the matter now stands no one can with safety receive a bank note of any of the same denominations without scruti 24 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. nizing the title and numbers.. It is suggested that, considering all the circumstances, it AYOuld be well fbr Congress to appropriate the remaining sum of $9,750 required to coA^er the AA^IOIC theft. The j)robability that any part of tliis money Avould actually be needed is A^ery remote, but such a step AA^ould relieve the jjublic of all future risk from a source for many years so extremely dangerous. NATIONAL BANKS. United States bonds of the face A^alue of $142,508,900 Avere held in trust June 30, 1891, to secure the circulating notes of national banks, a decrease of $2,719,400 during the year.

Seven UCAV depositaries were designated, and ten old ones were discontinued. Altogether $22,099,050 of bonds were deposited during the year, and $28,181,950 were Avithdrawn.

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

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

Next day, by the same authority, $26,000 of Florida and $4,000 of North CaroUna stocks were transferred in the same manner. A t the same time $24,000 of the United States bonds issued to Pacific raifroads were sold and thcproceeds deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Delaware tribe of Indians! On September 3, 1891, the bonds of the State of Maryland, amounting to $8,350.17, were paid. 26 tiEt^OR'T ON THE FINANCE^. o MISCELLANEOUS TRUSTS.

REDEMPTION OF NATIONAL-BANK NOTES. The heavy fluctuations which liaA^e characterized the movements of money have been reflected in the bank-note redemptions, and these have been large in proportion to the volume of the notes outstanding. A greater amount was presented in January, when currency began to return from the interior, than in any prcAdous month since May, 1889, although in the interval the outstanding circulation had been reduced from two hundred and fifteen to one hundred and seventy-five millions. Nearly sixty-seven millions were redeemed in the fiscal year, a decrease of about three millions as compared with the year before. A full statement of the year's operations, including, besides the details presented in former reports, some others which are given for the first time, will be found in the appendix. What public interest is now taken in the redemiDtion of bank notes is centered chiefly in the effect upon the currency and in the changes in the fund on deposit in the Treasury for the retirement of surrendered circulation, topics which have already been touched upon in this reiDort, and of which the former has perhaps been sufficiently discussed. The fresh, deposits made during the yea-r for the withdrawalof notes from circulation amounted to $9,728,060, of which $8,048,530 was received from banks desiring to reduce their issues, $1,600,200 for banks whose affairs are being wound up, and $79,330 for the retirement of notes issued prior to the extension of charters. The redemptions of the jiear from the aggregate fund were .$25,329,027.50^ so that the balance on deposit was reduced from $55,619,359.75 2? TREASURER. to $40,018,392.25.

Indeed, the deposits of the new bonds during the months of July, August, and September exceeded the withdrawals of the old, and the new circulation issued on them not only checked for the time the gradual contractions that had so long been going on, but actually increased the volume of this currency by some $4,000',0P0. Only $1,088,663 of lawftil money was deposited in this period for the retirement of outstanding notes, while $4,566,917 of notes were redeemed, so that the new issues would appear to have amounted to about $7,500,000. Some little difficulty has arisen in the admihistration.of the actof June 20, 1874, from the narrowness of the Avorking balance now afforded by the '5 per cent redemption fund. Many banks have less than $1,000 on deposit, and a majority of them all have iio more than $2,250 each. Although by strict interpretation the laAV would require all redemptions to be reimbursed by the banks before the dehvery of any part of the redeeined notes from the Treasury, this provision was early found to be unnecessaTily burdensome to the banks and vexatious to the Department. For the last sixteen years it has been the uniform practice to deliver the redeemed notes forthe bank's account on the same day that they were charged to the redemption fund, provided only that the whole amount of the notes did not exceed the lawful money on deposit. Manifestly, while the Treasurer could run no risk in parting Avith notes already paid for by the bank of issue, and could subserve no useful purpose in refrising to do so, he had no authority to let notes go out of his custody which had not been so paid for, but had in fact been received in exchange for other moneys belonging to the Treasury itself As long as the redemption ftind was ample this system worked satisfactorily; so satisfactorily, indeed, that manj^ bank officers appear to have given themselves little concern about the matter, and made their remittances, not in response to the Treasurer's notifications, as the laAV requires, but only Avhen currency was actually received from the Department. In time they began to consider it their right to haA^e their notes collected and deliA^ered, no matter Avliat the amount might be, and to pay for them at their convenience. Many of the smaller banks in 28 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. particular, Avith $562.50 on deposit, have fallen into this error. In the interval fr'om one assortment of a bank's notes to the next it frequently happens that more are redeemed than this sum will take up, and the redemption agency is obliged to hold a part or all of them for a frirther dei)osit. A notice is sent to the bank, expressed as clearly as possible, reciting the facts, and calling fbr the necessary remittance. This communication has a forcible legal effect. A bank failing to respond to it forthwith is in default—may even be exposed to suminary proceedings. But the paper in manj^ cases is misunderstood or laid aside. No currency being, received, no remittance is made. The outstanding notes of the bank continue to be presented at the Treasury and continue to be redeemed. In a fcAv weeks another sum of them has accumulated. Another notice is sent to the bank, and receives as little attention as the first. Eventually a considerable part of a bank's circulation may be in the Treasurer's hands. Correspondence is opened, misunderstandings are found to exist, explanations are asked for, long transcripts of account are exchanged. The bank officer at last is made to see that unless he redeems his notes as the law requires they must go to protest, and be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds on deposit for their security; also that this proceeding will lead to the forfeiture of his charter and the appointment of a receiver. To prevent such a catastroiDhe he remits in one sum, perhaps not Anthout incouA^enience, what he might have remitted from time to time in a number of small installments, lies out of the use of his inoney till the return remittance reaches him, feels perhaps that he has been badly treated, and, strange as it may seem, allows himself, by returning to his* former methods, to get into the same entanglement the next time the occasion arises. All this is avoided by the best conducted banks, and might be aA^oided by all, with np hardship to them, and much less trouble "to the Treasurer, by a little attention to the scheme of the redemption system set up by law, if not to the plain requirements of the law itself. The fundamental iDrin'ciple of the plan is that national-bank notes are redeemable at the Treasury out of money advanced by the bank of issue. Necessarily the original deposit must become impaired, and that too without the direct knowledge of the bank. When this has occurred to the extent of not less than $500, the Treasurer may notify the bank of the fact, whereuj)on the bank must make good the impairment forthwith, under pain of the severest penalties that can be visited upon a financial institution. The privilege of issuing notes to circulate as money is a valuable franchise, and one which in the nature of things it would be improper to grant withoiit the condition that the notes must be paid on demand. When the demand is made, and it comes to" the bank, not by the presentation of the notes themselves, but in the shape of a notification from the Treasurer that they have been presented to him, the bank's first and most important business is to respond by remitting to the Treasurer the amount he asks for. The issue of new notes to take the place of those paid off', and destroyed is another matter altogether, with which the Treasurer has nothing Avhatever to do. ^^And when," in the language of the statute, '' such redemptions haA^e been so reimbursed, the circulating notes so redeemed shall be forwarded to the respective associations by which they were issued; but if any of such notes are worn, mutilated, defaced, or rendered otherwi^«>« unfit for use, they shall be forwarded to the Comptroller of the Currency and destroyed, and replaced as now provided by law." This plan is not less simple than fair, and has been in successful pper TREASURER. 29 ation for nearly twenty years. There are many banks throiighout the country to whose management such incidents as those above detailed are unknown, and many others in which parts or the whole of the foregoing recital AVLII be recognized as familiar history,—so many, in fact, that in no instance can exception be taken to Avhat at first might appear to be a direct criticism. I t is no part of the Treasurer's duty to in- struct bank officers in theirs, but a good share of his labors are devoted to this field. I t is perhax)S unavoidably so; and the assistance he is called ui^on to render is cheerfully undertaken, in the spirit, he trusts, of friendly correspondence. The remarks and suggestions here A^entured ui^on are advanced in the same feeling, with the single object of adding to the amenities of the relations which, exist between the banks and himself COMMISSION ON SAFE AND VAULT CONSTRUCTION. The commission appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury under the provisions of a clause in the deficiency appropration act of September 30, 1890, ^ to report on the best method of safe and vault con^ struction, with a Adew of renewing or improving the vault facilities of the Treasury Department," have been actively engaged iii their iiwestigations, and haA^e paid several visits to the Treasurer's Office. The high character and attainments of the gentlemen selected fbr this important task give the comforting assurance that their, labors will be productive of the best results within the reach of modern skill and science. The chairman, Eobert H. Thurston, LL. D., is director of the College of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanic Arts in Cornell UniA^ersity. He served in the Corps of United States Naval Engineers during the late war, and at its close became professor of natural and experimental philosophy in the Naval Academy at Annapolis. In 1870 he visited Europe, and made extensive investigations in the manufactures of iron and steel in Great Britain. He resigned from the Navy in 1871, to accept the chair of mechanical engineering, in the Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken, N. J. He served as United States Commissioner to the World's Fair at Yienna, and as a member of the United States Commission to examine into .the causes of boiler explosions; also for a number of years on the United States Board appointed to make tests of iron, steel, .and various other metals, in Avhich positions he performed valuable scientific services. Dr. Thurston was the first pi:esident of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He is the author of many Avorks on mechanics and subjects connected thercAvith, and is an inventor of note. Mr. Francis A. Pratt, of Hartford, the second member of the commission, is the senior member of the Pratt & Whitney Company, and its president; the founder of the firm and its great establishments in which are built an enormous variety of tools of all kinds, but especially for gunmakers, and where are built the G ardner, Hotchkiss, and other rapid-firing guns of modern invention, and a great variety of standard iron-workers' tools. This firm has established the standards of sizes and forms for the United States in the Avhole range of construction of bolts and nuts, of-taps and dies; and thc}^ secure accuracy, formerly considered absolutely impossible of even approximation, through tbe use of a measuring machine capable of inaking measurements to the fifty-thousandth of an inch and less, and actually making their work accurate, as sent to the market, to within the ten-thousandth of an inch of standard. 30 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Mr. Pratt is the founder of this system of application of scientific methods of exact measurement to such i^urposes in practical construction. As a mechanic he is considered to be fully the equal of any man living, and is considered by his colleagues in his profession the ^^Arnerican WhitAvorth," having accomplished Avhat Sir Joseph WhitAvorth aspired to, but ncA^er reached. Mr. Theo. N. Ely, the general superintendent of motive pOAver of the Pennsylvania EailAvay, is also a noted mechanic and an educated and experienced engineer. J l e Avas taught the elements of his profession at the Eensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., and graduated Anth high honors. . He later became a member of the engineering staff' of the Pennsylvania Eailway, and quickly rose to the most im]Dorta.nt and responsible position in the gift of that great corporation in his department, taking charge of all the mechanical engineering of the road, and finally, as other roads Avere bought, built, or leased, becoming the general superintendent of the mechanical engineering departments of all. The high standing of that railway in efficiency of all its mechanical departments and all its machinery, Avhether of transportation or construction, is attributed very largely to Mr. Ely. He has introduced the best and most thoroughly scientific methods and processes of production, of inspection, test, and purchase of materials, and of maintenance and repair, and has made the AA^hole motive-power de]3artment a model after AAiiich are patterned the similar deiDartments of the majority of other roads in this country and many abroad. Mr. Ely has also kept up his acquaintance with both the scientific and the i3ractitioner's side ofhis Avork, outside his own department, and is regarded as quite as high an authority, on constructive engineering generally, as can be found. The chairman has kindly furnished the following statement in regard to the labors and plans of the commission : The United States commission on safe and vault construction^ appointed in April last to consider and report npon the desirability aild required extent of neAv vault constructions for the Treasury and upon the best methods of vault construction as practiced at the present time, has been at work, as its members could get together,, throughout the intervening period. The three members of this commission are very closely engaged, their regular .duties being both important and engrossing; but they have found time to conduct, as suggested by this office, a very extended and thorough investigation of the best of recent methods of insuring safety in the storage of money and securities, and are expected to report upon all the modern s^^stems of safe and vault construction, of detection of atfcempts to tamper with such receptacles, and of alarm in case of their attach, either by burglars or by their own appointed guardians. The commission has, up to the-present date, given its attention mainly to the generally standard systems of construction of safes and vaults, by the aggregation of laminated plates of iron, steel, and various special compositions; the methods of securely p u t t i n g together such"plates to form a vault or safe; and the best systems of bolting, of securing the corners against injury or i3enetration, the construction of doors and accessories, and the later forms of bolting doors and of p u t t i n g in locks and time attachments. The commission have, in this investigation, visited the establishments of a number of makers, on their invitation, where the processes of construction coLild be studied, and have seen the whole work of safe-building carried on, including the i:>reliminary fitting of plates, their erection in the vault under construction, and the final completion of the vault in place. They have been permitted to inspect the safes and vaults most recently constructed by the banks and safe deposit companies of the large cities, and have very fuUy examined the details of their construction. They have studied the ncAvest forms of time-lock and especially the most recent of the devices known as the automatic systems of opening; in which the time-lock n o t . only removes the obstructions i)reventing the unloclling of the vault doors during the time for which it is set, b u t also actually unlocks tlie door at a specified time, and from t h e inside, thus doing away with the otherwise unaA^oidable external mechanism for unlocking; and the coiisecxuently necessary passage of a spiadle or TREASURER. 31 its mechanical eciuivalcut through the door, a generally admitted cause of weakness and source of more or less danger. The commission have looked into the latest systems of electric guards and alarms, and their arrangements for protection by simple detection of all attempts of tlie attacking party to even touch the protected receptacle, and of giving an alarm at a distant point, or at any desired point in the neighborhood. These systems are intended to be efficients irrespective of the extent or efficiency of the jDresumabiy burglar-proof construction of the safe or vault. There remains, on the programme, the further study of a few special constructions, the investigation of the later methods of application of chilled cast iron to such work, and the examination of some new forms of lock a,nd automatic bolting. I t is possible t h a t some experimentation may be called for. The commission are expected to rej)ort soon after the ox)ening of t h e next session of Congress. CONDITION OF BUSINESS. The recent operations of the Treasury, by their magnitude, have called for unwonted exertions on the part of the administrative and clerical force. In particular, the labor of receiving and for Awarding currency has been made very heavy by the unusual demands for shipments or the exchange of one kind of money for another. Much extra AYork was required to carry out the provisions of the act of December 15, 1890, which proAdded for the payment of a draA^back or rebate to manufacturers and dealers, on certain kinds of tobacco, upon Avhichthe tax had been paid. All business that has come to the office has been attended to vrith promptness and, it is believed, with satisfaction to the pubhc. ^ I desire to express my appreciation of the prompt and cheerful manner in which the subordinate officers, clerks, and other emi^loyes in this office have performed their laborious and, in most cases, responsible duties. Skill and integrity in handling enormous sums of money, diligence and correctness in keeping accounts, are absolute necessities in the daily transactions of the United States Treasury. Anxieties surround the proper conduct of such an office, but Avith a well-trained and tried force to rely upon cares and worries are greatly lessened. Thanks are due to Mr. F. W. Lantz for his careful and conscientious worji in comi^iling and editing this report. T have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient serA^ant, E. "H. o Hon.

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

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

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

" ^ 133 In my last annual report attention was directed, to the large stock— $19,545,362.71—of subsidiary silver coins in the Treasury of the United States, which, through abrasion or mutilation, were unfit for circulation, or else of denominations for which there was no popular demand, and a Tecommendation made that authority be given to recoin the same into such denominations of subsidiary coins as there was a demand for,^ and that the loss of metal incident to such recoinage be paid from the profits which had been made on silver coinage. Such a provision, was inserted by the House of Eepresentatives of the Fifty-first Congress in the sundry civil act for 1892, but the provision was stricken out in the Senate, and in heu thereof an appropriation of $150,000 was made for ^ recoinage of the uncurrent fr^actional silver ^ coins, abraded below the limit of tolerance, in the Treasury.'^ tTnder this liberal appropriation a large amount of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury have been recoined into dimes and quarter-dollars, and such recoinage is still in progress. The nominal value of the silver coins transferred from the Treasury to the mints for recoinage from July 1, 1890 to November 1, 1891, has been $4,277,917.74, upon which the loss of metal, representing the abrasion fr'om wear, has been $134,676.10 or an average of about 3 per cent. The actual coinage of the same into new silver coins has aggregated $3,226,414.60. I t w a s estimated from previous recoinages that the loss would be about 5 per cent, and that the appropriation of $150,000 would enable the Department to recoin about $3,000,000. By carefiil and economical work the loss has been reduced considerably below this figure, and it is believed that the present appropriation will recoin nearly $5,000,000. The beneficial results of this appropriation are shown by the fact that th e amount of subsidiary silver coin in the Treasury at the commencement of the last fiscal year, all of which was classed in Treasury statements as an ^ asset not available," was $22,805,225, while the amount ^ in the Treasury at the present date (November 1,1891) is $15,196,379, a reduction of $7,608,846. In view of the importance of relieving the Treasury of this incubus of uncurrent coin, as well as to provide change money in. an attractive and desirable form, I renew the recommendation made in my previous report that either a permanent annual appropriation for recoinages be made, or that authority be given to reimburse the Treasurer for the loss of metal incident to the recoinage of silver coins, fr'om the large profits Avhich have been made by the Government in the first instance in the manufacture and issue of vsuch coins. I t seems to me that instead of depending upon the caprice of-Congress for small annual appropriations for recoinage, that a permanent appropriation would be eminently proper and desirable. If, however, this does not meet with favor at the hands of Congress, I most urgently recommend an immediate appropriation of $100,000 for continuing the recoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury. TRADE-DOLLAR R E C O I N A a E . The total number of trade dollars redeemed under the provisions of the actof March 3,1887, was 7,689,036, containing 6,687,690.61 standard ounces of silver, of the coining value in silver dollars of $7,782,040. From this there were coined up to the close of the fiscal year 1891, $2,889,011 in subsidiary silver' coins, containing 2,322,042.62 standard ounces, costing $2,668,654.88. In addition there was transferred from 134 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. trade dollars remelted at the SanFrancisco mint to silver dollar bullion, 16,97 standard ounces, costing $19.51, making the total disposed of up to June 1,1891,2,322,059.59 standard ounces, costing $2,668,674.39, leaving on hand 4,365,631.12 standard ounces, costing $5,020,361.61. Of this amount there were stored, at the Philadelpliia mint, 1,326,751.51 standard ounces, costing $1,524,828.61, and, at the ISTew Orleans, mint 3,038,879.61 standard ounces, costing $3,495,533.

On the 28t]i of, September, 1891, I had the honor to submit for your consideration estimates of appropriations required for the support of the mint service for the fiscal year ended June'30, 1893., These estimates, including the usual appropriation for ^ freight on ^ bullion and coin," aggregated $1,126,711.50, against appropriations for the same purposes for the current fiscal year aggregating $1,126,761.50, a slight reduction. EARNINGS AND EXPENSES OF T H E R E F I N E R I E S OF THE MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICE AT NEW YORK. COINAGE The amount collected from depositors during the fiscal year 1891 at the coinage mints and assay office at ISTew York, as charges for parting and refining bullion, was $199,946.79. The law requires that the charges collected of depositors shall be used to defray the expenses of the operations of the refinery. The total amount expended was $215,767.63. There was realized, however, during the year, from the sale of by-products from the refinery (blue vitriol and spent acid) the sum of $19,480.42, DIRECTOR OF THE 141 MINT. a legitimate gain to the refinery, which gains prior to the fiscal j e ^ r 1885 were used in offsetting payments for acids. Since that date, under a decision of the First Comptroller, the x>roceeds of the sale of blue vitriol and spent acids, the by-products of the acid refinery, have not been available for reducing the expenses of the refinery, but are covered into the Treasury as a miscellaneous receipt. Deducting from the gross expenditures the amount realized from the sale of these by-products, the net expenditures for parting and refining buUion were $196,287.14, or $3,659.65 less than the charges collected. In my fiscal report attention was directed to the advisability of changing existing law, as construed by the accounting officers of the Department, so as to i3ermit the use of moneys arising from the sale of refinery by-products in reducing the expenses of the refineries. The purpose of the law was to make the refineries self-supporting, and this purpose is partly defeated by diverting legitimate gains, which in any metallurgical establishment would be used to offset losses and expenses. ^ Under a separate heading in this report I invite attention to the propriety and advisability of changing the law in this respect. The total receipts for parting and refining bullion since July 1, 1876, the date at which the refineries were made self-supporting, have exceeded the gross expenditures for the same period by the sum of $114,727.02, the latter amount standing to the credit of the appropriation for parting and refining bullion on July 1, 1891. The receipts and expenses of the refineries for the fiscal year 1891 are exhibited in the following table: CHARGES COLLECTED AND E X P E N D I T U R E S F O R PARTING AND R E F I N I N G BULLION, 1891.

In the report of this Bureau for the fiscal year 1889, attention was directed to the heavy export of gold from the IJnited States, commencing in May, 1888, and continuing, with some interruption, to the end of Julj^, 1889, aggregating $61,435,989. In considering this movement it was mentioned^ that in addition to the bars consigned directly to France, the bulk of the other gold shipments were intended for the Bank of France, and the causes which seemed to operate in producing this drain of gold were enumerated, among others the large expenditures by Americans at the Paris Exposition. In the summer of 1890 a movement of gold from this country occurred, which, while by no means as serious in amount as its predecessor, was somcAvhat remarkable as a monetary transaction, considering the low rate of sight sterling exchange which obtained during the period. This movement aggregated in a period of less than two months the sum of $15,672,982. In February of the present year another movement of gold to Europe commenced which did not cease until near the close of July, exceeding in amount the exports of the fiscal year 1889, and causing l3y far the most serious loss of gold which this country has sustained for many years. The total amount exported from the port of E'ew York was $70,223,494.31. The follomng table, which has been prepared with great care and research by the superintendent of the assay office at IS^ew York, exhibits the dates and value of the"shipments, the names of the shippers, and the destination of the specie, and prevailing rates of sterUng exchange: GOLD BARS AND GOLD C O I N S H I P P E D FROM THE P O R T O F N E W YORK TO E U R O P E FROM FEBRUARY 13 TO J U L Y 24C, 1891."

An examination of the above table discloses the very singular fact that of this large amount all but $9,300,000 was shipped when the rate of sterling exchange was below the point (about $4,886) at which gold shipments can be made without loss. The movement, therefore, must have been artificially stimulated by banks and bankers in Europe paying a premium on gold or making discounts to bill-drawers for cash remittances. This was the result of a condition of affairs very unusual in the mercantile world. Ordinarily, large banking houses in New York, at certain seasons, can draw OU' correspondents in the financial centers of Europe sight and time exchange to a large amount in advance of expected commercial bills drawn against shipments of produce, etc. The heavy losses incurred by European, capitalists in South American countries, and the resulting financial disturbances and uneasiness produced thereby, not only greatly restricted this credit, but led to a continuous pressure, more or less strong, for gold to strengthen the reserves of the banks in England, France, and Germany, For reasons connected with loan difficulties, Russia at the same time withdrew from the depositories of Western Europe large quantities of gold, thus adding greatly to the drain and increasing the pressure for the import of gold from the United States, this country being the only outside source from which gold in large amounts could be readily drawn. The usual encouragement to the import of gold by the banks of Paris and Berlin in giving credit to importers for money on the day of shipment from New York, was, of course, in operation. It is a well-known fact that the Bank of England paid a premium for American gold coin, and increased that premium from time to time as the financial crisis grew more threatening. The rate of interest for money being above the normal price in Europe, investments in American securities were discouraged. Indeed, large amounts of the latter were returned in exchange for gold, some holders being doubtless influenced by the fear of the advent of a silver standard here. The amount of silver exiDorted was also greatly reduced by the increased monthly purchases by this Government, and gold took its place. The relative amounts of exports and imports of produce and merchandise generally were such as to make our indebtedness larger than usual. The gold carried out of the country to meet the expenses, by sea and land, of Americans spending their summers abroad, must have nearly if not quite equaled the year of the Paris Exposition, when such expenditures were estimated at over $92,000,000. The balance of trade, for these reasons, being against us, and the pressing need for gold in London, Paris, and Berlin, account very largely for the very heavy exports of gold during these five months. Desultory quantities of gold were returned to this country from Europe in the month of July of the present year, but by September the return movement was well under way and has continued to the present time. The following table exhibits the importations of gold (over half our own coin returned), from July 1 to November 1, 1891; 147 DIEECTOE OF THE MINT.

With the return of confidence in Europe, investors and others there have bought heavily in American securities, and these investments, together with the large exports of breadstuffs and other materials from the United States this fall and winter, must necessitate additional shipments of gold to this country, and it is believed that the movement of specie to our shores now in progress will continue, with some interruptions, for some months yet and in increasing amounts. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF THE PRECIOUS METALS. Gold.—The value of the gold buUion imported into the United States duiing the fiscal year 1891—all foreign gold—was $2,105,0'34, of which $1,073,243 came from Mexico, $399,472 from British Columbia, $324,010 from Colombia, $145,995 from Great Britain, and the remainder from countries of Central America and South America. Gold was contained in imported silver-lead ores of the value of 18,742. Foreign gold ores, of the invoiced value of $214,803, were imported into the United States for reduction, all except a small amount coming from Mexico. Foreign gold coins were imported of the value of $13,303,387, of which $5,851,526 were from AustraUa, $2,447,901 from Great Britain, $2,375,133 from Cuba, $1,410,385 from Germany, $472,850 from France, $328,208 from San Domingo, $154,592 from Mexico, and the remainder from various countries.

Of the gold bullion exported, $12,901,547 were consigned to Great Britain, $4,100,877 to Germany, $209,010 to France, $13,217 to Hongkong, and $10,000 to British West Indies. In addition $11,770 in foreign gold bullion was'reexported to Great Britain, while $34,542 represented the invoiced value of the exports of domestic gold ores, and $209 of the gold in foreign ores exported. United States gold coin was exported of the value of $67,704,900, of which $35,285,950 was consigned to Great Britain, $14,450,005 to France, $12,429,500 to Germany, and the remainder to various countries.

Silver.—The commercial value of the foreign silver bulUon imported into the United States during the fiscal year was, as registered at the custom-houses, $6,321,977, of which $4,848,771 consisted of unparted bars from Mexico, $838,992 commercial bars from Germany, $388,304 149 DIRECTOR OF T H E MINT. commercial bars fi'om England, and the remainder smaU lots from various countries of this continent. In addition to the imports of silver bars, silver ores were im]3orted into the United States for reduction, of the invoiced value of $8,953,608. As usual, the bulk of these ores, $8,679,845 came from Mexico, $254,270 from the British Possessions in North America, and the remainder in small lots from other countries of this continent. The silver ores imported into the United States were what is known as silver-lead ores, containing in addition to the silver contents large quantities of metallic lead and some gold and copper. The foUowing valuable table, compiled by the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics from special statements ftirnished by collectors of customs, exhibits approximately the quantity and value of the different metals contained in these ores.

This table will not in the total value of ore compare with the stated, publications which latter represent only the value of free silver ore and exclude dutiable contents, such as copper, and, since October 5, 1890, lead. The value of the lead is estimated at 3^ cents per pound, the average value of bar lead at New York less 1 cent. . ^ 150 R E P O R t ON f H E I'lNANdES. From the above table it will be seen that the approximate value of the silver contained in these ores was $8,252,036 and of the gold $68,742, while they contained in addition 40,289,803 pounds of metallic lead, of the invoiced value of $1,410,143 (against $905,470 in the previous fiscal year), and 468,384 pounds of copper, of the value of $25,129. Foreign silver coins were imported of the value of $11,379,663, of which $8,187,918 were Mexican dollars and the remainder principally South American coins. Our own silver coins, principally subsidiary pieces, were returned during the year of the value of $325,240. The imports of silver into the United States during the fiscal year may be summed u]3 as follows: IMPORTS OF SILVER, 1891. Amount. Items.

In addition to exports of domestic silver bullion, copper matte was exported frpm the port of Baltimore to England, for reduction, containing silver of the commercial value of $838,388. The following letter from the collector of the port of Baltimore in regard to the character of this matte and where it was produced will be found interesting: ' ^ CUSTOM-HOUSE, BALTIMORE, M D . , Collector's Office, Septemher 8, 1891, S I R : In reply to your letter of the 4tli instant requesting me to furnish you a statement of the amount of gold and silver contained in silver ores, copi)er matte, and argentiferous matte exported from the port of Baltimore, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, I inclose a transcript, showing the amount in copper, silver, and gold. I would say t h a t the " Baltimore Copper Smelting and Rolling Company,^' the principal exporters of copper ores, now make no distinction hetween copper matte and silver-copper matte, it heing all exported from this custom-house as silver-copper matte, at the uniform basis of 60.5 per cent pure copper, 35 ounces pure silver, and 0.14 of pure gold.

STOCK OF MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES. I t has been the practice to present in the rei^orts of this Bureau an estimate, based upon official tabulations, of the stock of gold and silver coin in the country. The foundation of these estimates was the actual amount of gold in the Treasury and in IsTational banks on June 30, 1872, with an addition * of $20,000,000 as the minimum amount of gold coin in circulation in the States of the Pacific slope. l!*ro allowance was made for the amount in circulation in the States east of the Eocky Mountains. Since that date the official estimates, presented from year to year, have been prepared, by adding to the actual stock June 30, 1872, the annual coinage of the mints (less, the amount of our own coin inelte<i for recoinage), and the gain (or loss) by import and export of our own coin, with an annual allowance for melting of United States coin for use in the arts and industries. • In continuation of previous tabulations, the following estimate of the stock of United States coin in the country on July 1, 1891, is presented: .

For the purpose of ascertaining the value of gold and silver bars furnished by private works for industrial purposes, a circular letter, inclosing a form of report, was ad^dressed to thirty-nine firms in the United States, believed to comprise all the private works engaged in the business of making gold and silver bars. Eeplies have been received from thirty-eight of the thirty-nine firms addressed, of which number sixteen reported that they had not manufactured any bars for industrial use during the year, while twenty-two furnished a' statement in detail showing the value and composition of the bars so famished. The returns on the part of private Avorks are more complete than for any previous inquiry, showing that much popular interest is taken in this important subject. The thanks of the Bureau are due, and are hereby extended, to the officers in charge of private AVorks in the United States Avho have so courteously furnished the information asked for. The result of this inquiry upon the part of private Avorks is exhibited in the folloAA^iug table: B A R S F O R I N D U S T R I A L U S E F U R N I S H E D G O L D S M I T H S AJND O T H E R S B Y P R I A ^ A T E R E F I N E R I E S DURING THE CALENDAR Y E A R 1890.

The value of the gold bars reported as furnished for industrial use during the calendar year 1889 was $13,623,935, and in 1890, $14,605,901, an increase of $981,966, and silver, $9,031,178 in 1890 against $8,569,318 in the preceding year. The amount of gold coin reported as used in the composition of bars for industrial uses was only $449,941, against an estimated melting doAvn annually of $3,500,000 of our gold coin for industrial uses, based upon four censuses taken for different years by this Bureau as to the direct employment of the preo^ous metals by goldsmiths and others in the manufacture of watches, jewelry, and gilding. The amount of United States silver coin reported as melted in the composition of bars for industrial use during the last year was only $2,024, against a reported melting down of silver coin by jewelers and others, based upon the censuses referred to, of $200,000 annually. As is well, knoAvn, the melting of coin for industrial uses is principaUy upon the part of jewelers, and not by private works manufacturing bars. If, therefore, there has been no falling off in the amount of coin used in repairs and jeAA^elry, the value of the precious metals used in the industrial arts in the United States during the calendar year 1890 approximated $18,105,901 gold, aaid $9,231,178 silver (coining value), of which $10,717,472 gold and $7,143,635 silver was new bullion. 160 REPOET ON THE FINANCES. I t has been the practice of the Bureau to solicit information from private refineries as to the preparation of bars of gold and silver only ^ for calendar years. The information covering the last fiscal year is therefore confined to GoA^ernment institutions. The folioAving tables exhibit the qiiantity and value of the bars of gold and silver issued by Government institutions for industrial uses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891.

The value of the monetary unit of countries having a gold or double standard Avas ascertained by comparing the amount of pure gold in such unit with the pure gold in the United States dollar, and the silver coins of such countries were given the same valuation as the corresponding gold coins with which they are interchangeable by law. . , In countries having a silver standard, the values of the silver coins were fixed at the commercial value of the pure silver contained in such coins. ^ DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 173 SPECIAL TESTS OF COINS. The regulations governing the mint service i^rovide for special assays of current coinage of the mints, as follows: S E C 9. From the first and two subsequent deliveries in each week of gold and silver coins of each denomination of coin delivered by the coiner, specimen pieces, tAvo in number, shall be taken, certified, and inclosed by tbe superintendent and assayer in tbe same manner as above prescribed for trial by the annual assay commission, Avheu they shall be promptly forAvarded to tbe Director of tbe Mint by registered mail for assay by the assayer of tbe Bureau, of tbe Mint. S E C 10. The value of tbe special assay coins shall be returned at tbe end of each six montbs (June 30 and December 31) to tbe proper mints. In order tb enable the Director to know from day.to day that the coins being issued at the mints conform in all res^oects to the requirements of law, a laboratory was established in 1878 on the fourth floor of the Treasury Department, which has proved a valuable adjunct to the Bureau. Special examinations are also made in the laboratory, for the Treasury Department, of coins and other inaterial for the purpose of detecting and x>reventing counterfeiting, and for custom requirements. During the calendar year 1890 there were tested in the laboratory of this Bureau 196 gold coins and 1,010 silver coins, all of which were found to be within the legal requirements in regard to weight, fineness, and mechanical perfection. Tables will be found in the a.ppendix showing the fineness of the coins assayed and the percentage of coins of various degrees of fineness. ANNUAL TRIAL OF- COINS. Tlie following commissioners were appointed under the provisions of section 3547 of the Eevised Statutes, to test the weight and fineness of the gold and silver coins of the coinage of the calendar year 1890, reserved tor that purpose by the coinage mints, viz: Hon. Nelson W. Aldrich, United States Senate; Hon. Thomas H. Carter, House of Representatives; Messrs. B. A. Gould, Massachusetts; Cabell Whitehead, Virginia; JSTelson F. Evans, Pennsylvania; Frank A. Leach, California; G-. E. Metten, Montana; John H. Aj)pleton, Ehode Island; C.W. Moore, Idaho; E. S. Willcox, Illinois; Irwin Shepard, Minnesota; H. W. Cannon, ISTew York; J. M. Bailey, jr.. South Dakota; W. D. Ewing, Indiana; Charles W. Pavey, Illinois; Daniel M. Houser, Missouri. The Commission met in Philadelphia on February 11, 1891, with the exception of Hon. IsT. W. Aldrich and W. D. Ewing, all of the commissioners appointed being present, together with the following ex officio commissioners: Hon. William Butler, United States judge for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, Hon. E. S. Lacey, Comptroller of the Currency, and Herbert G. Torrey, assayer of the Unitecl States assay office at Kew York. i The committee on counting reported: The packages containing tbe pieces reserved by the several mints for the trial of coins, in accordance Avith section 3539, Revised Statutes, were delivered to us by the superintendent of tbe mint at Pbiladelpbia.

The result of the annual test is contained in the following resolution adopted by the Commission: Resolved, That tbe Assay Commission, having examined and tested tbe reserved coins of tbe several mint^for tbe year 1890, and it appearing t b a t these coins do not difler from tbe standard'fineness and Aveigbt by a greater quantity tlian is allowed by laAV, tbe trial is considered and reported satisfactory. CHANGES IN REGULATIONS. On the 28th of September, 1891, an order was issued, approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, increasing the charge for small gold bars at the United States assay office at I^ew York from 4 to 5 cents per hundred doUars in value. Heretofore it has been the practice to charge 4 cents per hundred dollars in value for the manufacture of fine gold bars, and to give depositors, in payment of their deposits, gold bars as nearly approximating the value of their deposits as possible, the smallest being about $5,000 in value. In many cases these bars were redeposited for small bars for jewelry and manufacturing purposes, and it has- been customary to charge for this exchange, that is, for furnishing small gold bars in the place of large ones, the same amount as the original bar charge, 1 cents per hundred dollars in value. Under the new regulations small gold bars will be furnished depositors originally when they desire it, and the charge will be 1 cent more DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 175 per hundred doUars in value than for large bars, to cover the additional cost of manufacturing small bars. On the 29th of September, 1891, the following regulation was issued: In cases of deposits of foreign gold coin or foreign gold bars at t h e United States assay office at New York, sucb approximation of tbe value of tbe bullion delivered as, in tbe discretion of tbe Superintendent, raay be regarded safe and proper, not to exceed 90 per cent of tbe value, will be paid, jiending melt and assay. The purpose of this regulation was to encourage the importation of foreign gold by allowing depositors approximate spot cash value for foreign gold as soon as received at the counter of the assay office, thus saving interest on the .value of the deposit pending melt and assay. NEVr DESIGNS OF UNITED STATES COINS. ° In my last annual report attention was directed to the inelegance of the designs upon some of the coins of the United States and the absence of any authority of law to change an existing design.

AUGUSTUS ST. GAUDENS. CHAS. E . BARBER. I concur in the findings. EDWARD 0. LEECH, Director, Hon. CHARLES F O S T E R , Secretary of the Treasury. V I^Tew designs for the subsidary coins—the half dollar, quarter dollar , and dime—have been prepared, under mydirection, by Mr. ChaiJes E. Barber, the engraver of the mint at Philadelphia, and with your approval have been adopted. The consideration of the subject of changing the designs upon our coins naturally calls forth some thought upon the subject of coinage generally, a subject full of interest. Coinage may be defined as consisting in the division of a monetary metal into^'pieces of uniform dimensions and weight, and in the stamping of them by public authority, in order to certify the quantity of fine metal contained in each; while a coin is one of the pieces so stamped. Coinage is of very great antiquity. Its invention is generally ascribed to Pheidon of Argos, who reigned in the eighth century before Christ. When we consider the great antiquity of some of the coins now in a perfect state of preservation, dating back many hundred years before the birth of Christ, they open a vast field of thought. These metallic monuments, having the portraits and names of the great heroes of the age in which they were struck, bear unequivocal witness to the truth of the historical records which have come down to us, and from which we learn of the wars, religions, and superstitions of past ages. ~ ^ The earliest specimens of coins of which we have knowledge bore the impression of a die only on the face, the reverse showing the marks of the rude punch used to force the piece of metal into the die. Following this, the first improvement seems to have been an attempt to make the punch conform somewhat to the shape of the die. This improvement was carried on untU we find the punch almost identical with the design of the die, the result being coins with an impression in relief on one side and an intaglio on the other, or, as these j)ieces are called, incused coins. This wa§ a great step in coinage and contributed largely to the production of the high relief which we find in antique coins. After these come the coins with separate designs for both the obverse (or face) and FI 91 12 178 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. reverse (or back), both vsides telling their story; in many cases beautifully executed, considered as works of art. The idea of relief and abrasion was never considered in connection with antique coinage. The artist indulged his fancy and taste to the fullest extent, and the coins were struck as medals are now, without regard to the amount of pressure required or the number of blows from the hammer or press necessary to perfect the impression in high relief. The coins of antiquity were for the most part like those of modern times, round, the form best suited to them. Quadrangular, hexagonal, and octagonal, spherical, and spheroid pieces were seldom emiDloyed even then. The names of the oldest coins known, and of many modern ones, point to the connection existing between coins and their weight. Thus the,ancient as well as the inodern Greek drachma, the pound sterling in England, the plund in Germany, the livre in France, the lira in Italy. 'During historical times and in civilized countries, since the first invention of coinage, gold and silver have been employed AvhencA^er governments were rich enough to obtain them, almost exclusively, in the manufacture of all save token coins. Eussia at onetime coined platina, but as that substance Avas not well adapted for coinage X-)iirposes the stamping of it was stopjped and the pieces issued retired by the Government of the Czar. The beauty of their appearance, hardness, malleability, susceptibility to the receiving of an impression, fusibility, homogeneity, divisibility, rarity, and the relative stability of their value, during limited periods of time, are the qualities that have insured the choice of gold and silver as the monetary metals of the world during so many centuries, and in all countries in which they have been obtainable, either by mining or in exchange for other objects of value. With the groAvth of technical knowledge, and in order to ""meet the increased demands of trade, a proportion of base metal was early added to the gold or silver, and coins now are universally manufactured with an alloy of copper. The object of mixing gold and silver with a proportion of some other metal, generally copper, in coinage, is to give the pieces greater resistance to wear and tear. This proportion is called the alloy. The proportion of pure metal in the coin is called its fineness. The proportion of alloy should not be allowed to exceed certain limits. Michel Chevalier lajd it down as a rule that that j^roportion of alloy was best which gave the precious metals the greatest resistance to friction. Experience has shown that Chevalier's rule should be modified thus: The best allo^^ in coinage is that Avhich, in the higher finenesses, offers the greatest resistance to ahrasioojb. It has been clearly deirionstrated that the proportion of nine parts of gold or silver to one part of copper best accomplishes this result. The multiples or subinultiples of the monetary unit should be such :as'to render it easy for the public to inake up any sum out of the pieces iissued by the. Government. They should be of such weight and size as tto make their use convenient, and to reduce to a minimum the action of abrasion and the possibility of'ailteration. The mechanical x)art of the manufacture of coins at the present day is all that can ;be desired. The same, however, can :not ^be said of the artistic part of the coinage. To help make the coins of the TJnited States worthy, from the point ,Qf view of the beautifiil, of our,country,.at.the beginning of thcstecond DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 179 century of its existence, is the object of my recommendations as to new and improved designs. In modern coinage the designs inmonarchial governments consist, as a rule, of the portrait of the soA^ereign for its obverse and the coat of arms^or seal for the reverse, thus simplifying the question of design. Eepublican nations have generally ignored the idea of having the portrait of their Chief Magistrate upon their coins, but have generally used some ideal head or representative; hence our coinage laws prescribe, '' Upon one side there shall be an impression emblematic of liberty, Avith an inscription of the word ' Liberty' * * * and upon the reverse shall be the figure or representation of an eagie.'^ The design first adopted Avas a female head representing Uberty for the obverse and an eagle for the reverse. Without revicAving all the changes which have taken place in the de-signs upon our coins it may be interesting, now that a change in the designs upon our subsidiary silver coins (tne half dollar, quarter dollar and dime) lias been decided upon, to enumerate the changes Avhich have been made in these particular pieces. The present obverse of the subsidiary coins first appeared on the dollar of 1836, dime and half dime of 1837, half dollar and quarter dollar of 1838, and all the silver coins of 1840. I t was designed by Sulley and engraved by Mr. Christian Gobrecht. The present reverse, Avith the exception of some minor differences, first appeared on the half dollar of 1807, dime of 1809, quarter doUar of 1815, and half dime of 1829. The dies were prepared by Mr. John Eeich, who Avas appointed assistant engraver in 1807 by the Director of the Mint, Eobert Patterson. FULL D E S C R I P T I O N .

On a band over front of head the Avord ^ Liberty," and OA^er the head the ^ motto *^^In God we trust"; around the medallion are thirteen stars, and under, the date bf coinage. On the reverse appears the seal of the United States as adopted 1782, and is thus described: An eagle displayed, charged on the breast A\dth a shield argent, six paUets gules, a chief azure, holding in the dexter claw an OUA^C branch of thirteen leaves; in the sinister claAV a sheaf of thirteen arroAA^s; in the beak a scroll with the motto " E Pluribus Unum," ensign ed above and about the head Avith thirteen stars. This Avill be the design of the half doUar and quarter dollar, while the dime Avill have for obverse same head as half dollar and quarter dollar, but in place of the stars the inscription ^^United States of America," while the motto ^^In God A ^ trust" A^dll AC be omitted. The reverse of the dime Avill be the same as in present use. From the description given of the coins of the early issue of this GOA^ • eminent it Avill be seen that the first-described reverse which it is i3roposed to supersede the old Avith is a return to the design of almost the first coinage. It has often been said that the design of our early coinage Avas superior to some more modern. This Avould seem a case in point, as Avhat can be more appropriate for the design of a coin than the great seal, carrying Avith it, as it undoubtedly does, the mark of its genuineness a.nd Avorth. As the A^olume of coinage in modern time is so vast, great numbers of dies are required, and as the Avork of engraving a die is of necessity 182 REPOiRT ON THE FINANCE^. a sloAv and tedious process and would be sure to have some A^ariations if each separate die Avas engraved, hubs are made from which the working dies are'transferred, thus making it possible to produce a large number of dies in a comparatively short time, and also insure perfect similarity. The question. What is a hub " is sure to arise in the minds of ^ many. A hub is a piece of tenijpered steel, on which is the perfect design in relief of the coin it represents. This hub being hard can be forced by great pressure into a finely annealed piece of steel; thus producing a die for coinage. The work of producing a new coin or series of coins is a very delicate operation. First a design is suggested, then models are made, molds are then prepared and electrotypes are made. The question of curve to be given the face of the die is very important, as this varies with each coin and requires careful adjustment to area and design. Although modern coins look flat, the fact is quite the contrary, as none are so, they being struck frpm dies the surface of which is always curved. From the electrotypes reductions are made by a beautiful machine most delicate in its actions. These reduced copies of the model are in steel and require the skill of the engraver td giA^e them the delicate finish that coins are expected to have. The engraving department ofthe United States Mint is at present employing all its energy to have the dies with the new designs ready by January 1,1892. THE NEAV MINT AT P H I L A D E L P H I A . In my last fiscal report, as Avell as in the last report of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, attention was directed.to the crowded condition of the building noAv occupied by the Mint of the United States at Philadelphia, and the inadequacy of the present ground area for the erection of a suitable building, and the sale of the present site and the purchase of a new site and the erection of a suitable building for the mint at Philadelphia, was strongly recommended. ' ^ . ^ ' On January 6, 1890, a bill (H. E. 3910) Avas introduced in the House of Eepresentatives by Hon. IT. H. Bingham, of Philadelphia, providing for the purchase of a new site and the erection of anew buildingfor the mint at Philadelphia-. On May 2, 1890, the folloAnng biU (H. E. 9957), introduced by the same member for the same purpose, was substituted for the bill originally introduced by him: A BILL to proA^ide for the purchase of a site and tlie erection of a pnhlic bnildmg thereon at Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania. Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Eepresentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to acquire, by purcbase, condemnation, or otherwise, a site and cause to be erected tbereon a suitable building, including fire-proof vaults, heating and ventilating af)paratus, elevators, and ax)proaclies, forthe use and accommodation of tbe United States Mint, in the city of Pbiiadelpbia, and State of Pennsylvania, the cost of said site and building, including said A'aults, heatiug and ventilating apparatus, elevators, and approa-ches, complete, not to exceed the sum of tAVO million dollars. So mucb of the appropriation as may be necessary to defray traA^ellng expenses and other expenses incident to the selection of tbe site, and for necessary survey thereof, sball be immediately available. So mucb of said appropriation as may be necessary for tbe preparation of sketch plans, draAvings, specifications, and detailed estimates for tbe building by the SuX^ervising Arcliitect of tbe Treasury Department shall be available immediately upon tbe selection of tbe site by tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury. No money appropriated shall be available, except as hereinbefore iDrovided, until a v a h d title to the site for said building sball be vested in tbe United States, nor until DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. . l83 the State of Pennsylvania shall baA^e ceded tp tbe United States exclusiA^e jurisdic. tion over tbe same during tbe time the United States sball be or remain the OAvner thereof, for all purposes except tbe administration of the criminal laws of said State and the service of ciA^il process therein.

That tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and be is hereby, further directed, when tbe ncAv building herein authorized to be erected sball bave been completed, to dispose of tbe present United States Mint building in the city of Pbiladelpbia and State of Pennsylvania, at private or x)ublic sale, and to give a quit-claim deed to tbe x^urchaser thereof, and to deposit tbe proceeds of tbe sale to the credit of the Treasurer of tbe United States in tbe manner x^rescribed by sections thirty-six hundred and seventeen and tbirty-six bundred and eigbteen. United States Revised Statutes. The original bill (H. E. 391^) having been referred by the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to the Treasury Departiaent for report, the following communications from the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of the Mint, and the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Avere transmitted to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds on February 18, 1890: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, O F F I C E OF THE SECRETARY, • Washington, D. C , February 18, 1890. S I R : I h a v e the bonor to acknowledge tbe receipt bf a letter from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, asking for the views of the Dex^artment ux^on bill H. R. 3910, a cox3y of wbicb is inclosed, x^roviding for tbe X3urcbase of a site and the erection of a new building for tbe mint at Pbiladelx^bia. In reply, I desire to call attention to the statements made in the accomx>Cinying X3ax3ers from tbe Director of tbe Mint, t h e Supeiwising Architect, and tbe X3rincix)al mint officers at Pbiladelpbia, sbowing tbe total inadequacy of tbe x^'esent quarters and setting forth sx^ecifically tbe reasons, wbicb are ax^parent to tbose most familiar w i t b tbe subject, for an enlargement of the present facilities for coining x^urposes. Every consideration bearing upon an effective and correct working o f t h e mint ser s^ice points to the necessity of providing at once a sufficient and suitable building. Wbil'^ our legislators of over half a century ago no doubt attempted to make x^roA^ision for the then immediate future, tbey never for a moment intended to erect a building wbicb would accommodate itself to tbe needs and x)urposes of the present time, wben the number of coins struck at this particular mint is eight times as great as it w^as then. Every department of tbe building is crowded to its utmost capacity AAith machinery and employes. I t is impossible to put in force systematic methods, and much confusion and delay are oijcasioned by tbe w a n t of space in wbicb to arrange, in :an orderly and natural relation, tbe several x^rocesses o f t h e different operations througb Avbicb tbe metal has to go in order to x^roduce tbe perfect coin. The very limited area t h a t can be assigned to tbe furnaces and otber branches requiring tbe emx3loyment of artificial beat makes tbe temperature at.all times almost unbearable, .and tbe upper floor, tbe ceiling of wbicb is in close proximity to the roof, is filled wdtb lady operatives, wbo in tbe summer find in tbe stifled condition of the atmosphere abundant cause for absence and ill health. Ux^on a recent personal inspection of the premises I was fully couAdnced of the iserious difficulties under wbicb all tbe employes labored, and I am sure t b a t anyone wbo visits tbe mint can not fail to be impressed in tbe same way. In this connecvtion I beg to refer to the recommendation of the assay commission in resolutions berewitb. transmitted. The members of this commission were gentlemen of bigb x^rofesisional attainments and jprominent in matters kindred to coinage. They bave made manifest tbe results of tbeir personal observations and liaA^e unanimously exx3ressed l^be ox)inion t b a t tbe only remedy for tbe present disabilities lies in the erection of a :more sx^acious building. An ax^propriation from last year is available for tbe enlargement of tbe present building, but it would- be very doubtful economy, if not :a,ltogetber w a s t e / t o expend any large amount in attempting to make the x^resent structure meet the requirements of tbe service. Tbe Avails are of marble, very beaA^y, :and cover nearly all of the ground at t b a t x^oint wbicb belongs to the Government. 184 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The heavy machinery and large amount of metal to be handled, as well as tJje delicate operations connected with the finer.Avork of coinage, makes it imx^racticable to use a building many stories in height, and it is very doubtful if any good results would folloAV tbe placing of additional stories on the present building. Good x)ublic policy at once suggests facilities to be bad only in a building of ample prox:>ortions, and I most eai'nestly recommend the subject to tbe favorable consideration of Congress. I think it would be better, however, to amend tbe proposed bill in such a way as t o make a specific appropriation of $2,000,000 to purchase a site and erect the building, and "after it is finished to provide for tbe sale of the present site and bailding, the proceeds of sucb sale to be covered into tbe Treasuiy under tbe bead of '^ Miscellaneous receipts." Respectfully, yours, WILLIAM WINDOM, Secretary. Hon. S. L. MiLiKEN, Ouiirman of Committee on Fiiblio Buildings and Grounds, House of Eepresentatives. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF THE MINT, Washington, D. C , February 7, 1890. SIR : Referring to House bill 3910, authorizing" the sale of tbe present site of t h e mint at Pbiladelpbia and tbe purcbase of a ncAV site, and tbe erection of a new building for tbe mint in t b a t city, I bave tbe bonor to present bercAvith my views in regard to tbe necessity and expediency of enacting tlie same into law. . Tbe act establisbing t h e Mint of tbe United States Avas approved by President Washington, April 2, 1792. The same year the structure for tJtie mint, a plain brick edifice, was erected on Seventh street near Arch, in tbe city of Pbiladelpbia. The following October tbe building was occux)ied for coinage purposes, and Avas so used for a period of over forty years. Tbis was t h e first .public building erected in t h e United States under tbe authority of t h e Federal GoA^ernment. By act of May 19, 1829, the mint was permanently located in Philadelphia, and t h e present mint edifice, Avbich stands at tbe corner of Chestnut and Junifjer streets, on a lot fronting 150 feet on Chestnut street and extending back 204 feet to Penn Square, was authorized. Tbe cornerstone Avas laid J u l y 4, 1829, and the building was completed and occupied for coinage purx^oses in 1833. This building has been used continuously, without any material enlargement, for a x^eriod of fifty-seven years, as tbe principal coinage institution of tbe United States, altbougb the groAvth and coinage requirements of tbe country bave long since outgrown its capacity. I t will be remembered t b a t tbis building Avas planned and erected t w e n t y years before the discoA^ery of gold in California and nearly forty years before tbe immense silver discoveries of Nevada. Tbe product of the x^recious metals in tbe United States in 1833 was insignificant, tbe total product for the ten years 1834-^44 being only $7,750,000.^ Tbe present product approximates annually $100,000,000. Tbe coinage executed at the mint in 1833 was 10,370,700 pieces of the value, of $3,765,710; t h e coinage of tbe same institution for t h e last calendar year (1889) aggregated 94,012,194 pieces, of tbe v a l u e o f $24,804,854.84. i n addition to tbe coinage of gold and silver in common with the other mints of the United States, t h e mint at Philadelphia is tbe^only institution in tbe United States authorized by laAV to execute minor coinage, the demand for which has become so x:)re88ing t b a t for several yeai^s past tbe Government has licen obliged to buy the blanks ready for stamping, and for several months past nine large presses have been used exclusively in tbe stamping of minor coin. Moreovej, tbe mint at Pbiladelphia is the only one in tbe country whicb has connected w i t b it an engraving department, where, by statutory requirement, the devices for our coins are engraved, and t b e dies, both original and working, for all our mints are made, and medals of a national character are executed. Tbe building was not x^h'^'Uned w i t b any idea of adax^tation for many of the mecbanical and metallurgical operations at present carried on in it. AVhen it Avas erected many of tbe processes of metallurgy now employed Avere unknoAvn. The area in t h e center of t h e mint, originally intended for a stack through wbich t h e fumes of acid, smoke, etc., could pass off", is now fiUed to t h e very roof Avitb Avooden structures, Avbicb are not only objectionable in themselves, b u t increase the liability to fire, and take away ventilation and ligbt, Avhile the erection in tbe immediate vicinity of mucb bigber buildings prevents the free escape of the fumes from t h e acid refinery, to tbe great annoyance of the public. Tbe process of striking coin Avas by tbe screw-press worked by hand, and the introduction of steam for coinage purposes did not take place until 1836, three years after tbe building was completed. DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 185 i t is not my x:)urpose to enumerate in detail the insufficiency of the present building for tbe x)i'oper and safe execution of the immense amount of work noAv turned out. For detailed information on tbis x)oint reference is made to tbe letters of the superintendent and operative officers inclosed. Certain it is t h a t no private manufacturing establishment would bave Avorked continuously for fifty-seven years in the same building, Avitb an increase of 800 XDcr cent in its annual outx^ut (as sbown by tbe coinage of pieces at this mint in 1889 as compared with 1833), Avithout largely increasing its capacity. I t has not been x^i^acticable to remedy the inadequacy of working space in tbe mint at Pbiiadelx^bia by alterations and enlargements of the present building, owing to tbe fact t h a t there is not sufficient area. I t is essential for the efficient execution of the delicate and important processes of coinage t h a t tbe mechanical operations of eacb department be conducted on the same ^ floor. The Avork rooms of tbe coiner's dex3artment, for instance—tbat is, all tbe rooms for cutting, rolling, milling, and the other coinage operations—should be on one floor. In 1882 tbe attention of- Congress was directed to tbe insufficiency of tbe ground area for tbe business of the mint, and a bill was favorably reported from the Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures authorizing the purcbase of adjoining prox3erty covering a surface of 100 feet on Chestnut street and extending north 204 feet on Broad street. Unfortunately this bill failed to become- a laAv, and tbe magnificent building now occux^ied by the Girard Life Insurance, Annuity and Trust Comx^anj^, valued at $1,000,000, has been built ux^on it, thus x)i'©cluding the Government from obtaining " X>ossession of it. Nor is there any otber x^roperty adjoining whicb it is possible for the Government now to secure; so t b a t it is impracticable to extend tbe area of the mint in its present location. If tberefore anything is to be done in tbe way of providing enlarged facilities for tbe mint at Philadelphia the matter resolves itself into one of tAvo alternatives: either the enlargement of the present building by an attic story or an extension of the building to tbe line of tbe x^ortico, or b o t h ; or, as tbe otber alternative, the erection of a new mint. . In accordance Avitb estimates prepared by tbe Supervising Architect an ax^prox^riation of $220,000 Avas included in the sundry ciAdl bill, ax^proved October 2, 1888, ^'for tbe United States Mint at Philadelx^bia, Pa.;. for an additional story to and enlarging the building, including vault, alterations, and otber necessary Avork.'' Of tbis appropriation tbe sum of $43,399.70 has been expended for the construction of ncAV vaults, leaving $176,600.30 available for tbe enla.rgement contemplated. Since tbis appropriation was made further plans and drawings have been prepared by tbe SuperAdsing Architect contemplating an extension of tbe floor area by extending the building front to tbe line of the portico. In my annual rex3ort for tbe fiscal year ended J u n e 30, f889, I bad tbe bonor to recommend t b a t the appropriation available, viz, $176,600.30, be increased to the sum of $420,000, t h a t being the estimate of the Sux^erAdsing Architect of the cost of the extension designated in tbe last x^lans. ' If, then, the mint remain on its x^res.ent site, an immediate exxDcnditure of $420,000 Aviil be necessary to afford proper room for its business. Tbe expenditure of CA^en this la,rge sum Avill remedy tbe existing state of things to only a limited extent, but Avill not accomplish the main purx^ose desired, viz, sufficient ground area for tbe location of tbe work rooms of the mechanical deX3artments *on one floor. The objections to an additional story are so forcibly pointed out in the letter of Superintendent Bosbyshell t b a t I shall not repeat them. The present time is ox^portune for tbe x^urcbase of a coiiA^enient site fox a n e w mint building in Philadelphia. It is believed t b a t a suitable one, in a convenient section of the city, on one of its most prominent streets, can be procured at a cost not exceeding $500,000 and t h a t tbe present site and edifice Avill sell for a sum axDproximating $800,000; so t b a t if tbis bill should become a laAV about $300,000, tbe x^robable excess' of the amount received for tbe present site aboA^e tbe cost of a new site, would be available toAvards tbe erection of a new mint. Estimates as to the cost of a new building suitable for the requirements of the mint at Philadelphia Avill of course be furnished by tbe Sux^ervising Architect, but I may remark t h a t the mint at San Francisco, finished in 1873, wbich is a large granite building, one of tbe most beautiful in t h a t city, x^erfectly adapted to its purposes, was erected at a cost of $2,130,512.15 (not including the cost of site, $100,000). Making allowance for tbe reduced cost of labor and material at tbe present date as comX^ared with 1873, and especially in Philadelphia, as corapared Avitb San Francisco, it would seem reasonable to say t h a t $1,500,000 Avould be the outside cost of a suitable building in Pbiladelpbia, or a net cost of $1,200,000, against an appropriation of $420,000 already.asked for the enlargement of the mint if it remains in its present location. 186 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. I can not too strongly urge ux:)on Congress the adAdsabilrty of purchasing a new site and erecting a new mint, esx5ecially as the ox^x^ortunity Avhich now presents itself for ^securing a convenient and suitable location for a reasonable consideration may not :soon occur again. Surely this great Government, with its growing wealth and population, producing . :annualiy from its mines $100,000,000 of tbe precious metals, can afford to bave the very finest buildings as well as tbe best apx^liances and machinery for tbe important :and delicate o|)erations of coining money, and it would seem as if an ax)prox:)riation •of $1,200,000 for the erection of a suitable structure for its most imxDortant mint should not be considered a piece of extraA^agance, b u t rather as an act demanded by our national cbaracter. I inclose herewith letters from the superintendent and operative officers of the mint at Philadelx:)bia, to Avbich attention is invited. Trusting this matter will receive your fa Adorable recommendation, I am, very respectfully, E. O. L E E C H , . Director of the Mint. Hon. WILLIAM WINDOM, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, O F F I C E OF THE SUPERA^SINO ARCHITECT, . Washington, D. C , February 17, 1890. S I R : I h a v e tbe bonor to acknowledge the receix^t by reference from you of the letter of tbe 13th instant, addressed, to you by tbe Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, House of Rex^rescntatives, requesting to be informed as to the present condition o f t h e United States Mint building at Pbiladelx^bia, Pa., in regard to size, convenience, etc., for transacting tbe x^ublic business, tbe need of a new building for tbe purposes of the United States Mint, and sucb otber information in Regard to tbe subject as may be deemed of use to said committee in connection witb H. R. bill 3910, introduced January 6, 1890, by Hon. Henry H. Bingham, to x^rovide for the sale o f t h e x^resent United States Mint building and site, tbe purcbase of land suitable for a site, and tbe erection tbereon of a UCAA^ x^^l>hc building for carrying on tbe business o f t h e mint in Pbiladelf^hia, Pa., the x3roceeds of tbe sale of tbe present United States Mint x^roperty, or so mucb thereof as may be,necessary, to be used for the purpose of purchasing a UCAV site and erecting tbereon. a new building for said x^urxDose, and to submit tbe folloAving: . I invite attention to tbe statements ru^de on pages 62 and 63 of tbe Annual Rex^ort of tbe Sux^ervisiiig Architect of the Treasury Dex^artment, 1889. The mint building in^Pbiladelxobia has been changed in arrangements and enlarged by minor additions from time to time to meet the demands of tbe x)resent public business, and x^ractically all of tbe available ground Avitbin the metes and bounds o f t h e site is now occupied by t h e building. With the ax3X^rox)riatibn made by act of Congress ax^proved October 2, 1888, viz,. $220,000, and the additional ax^x^ropriation of $200,000 asked for in the annual estimates, it is x^rox^osed to build a tbird story to tbe x^resent building and extend tbe wings on eacb side of the entrance portico out to the street front as further additions to the structure. By making a new assignment of tbe old x)ortion of tbe structure witb the additional floor area to be obtained by sucb imx:)roA^ements there would be better facilities, for tbe conduct o f t h e business ofthe mint t h a n there is now afforded in tbe building, Tbese imx:)rovements,. bowcA^er, would, not x^i'pAnde the couA^enience needed for the X^r ox:) er conduct o f t h e Avork o f t h e mint, nor secure full economy in the management t h a t could be ax^x^lied if a structure with sufficient ground area was erected t h a t AA^ould enable the work of tbe coinage of metals to be done continuously on one floor Avithout tbe necessity of irregular transfers of tbe metals during tbe process of its coinage between working rooms not contiguously arranged, and Avould x^revent the inconvenience and delay incident to tbe necessary use of elevator service between, the difi:erent stories of the building. The metals should be deliA'ered at. one station and x^ass regularly from t b a t point, througb the scA'-eral ax:)artments contiguously arranged, x:>rox3erly equix^ped witb the necessary furnaces, machines, x^lants, etc., and assigned to tbe different branches of tbe Avork incident to its comxDletion, so t h a t after the metals shall haA^e reached the ax^artment ill wbicb tbe last branch of work tbereon is to be done tbe coins will be X3erfected and ready for storage or distribution. Tbe actual cost of tbe present United States Mint building in Philadelx3bia, including the cost of alterations and rexDairs to June 30, 1889, is $432,871.48 x^lus the cost o f site—$31,666.67—whicb aggregates $464,538.15, in connection Avith AA^hicb must be^ DIRECTOI^ OF THE MINT. 187 Considered the Avork noAv being done under the apx">rox3riation of $220,000-made by a c t o f Congress ax)x:>roved October 2, 1888, and tbe apx)roprration asked for in^the annual estimates. From comx^utations made in tbe office o f t h e SuxDervising Architect of tbis Dexoartment based upon information receiA^ed,at is found that, to construct sucb a building, witbx^rox^er lighting, A^entilating, and beating facilities, t b a t would afford prox^er accommodations for thcopresent andx^rospectiA^e needs of the mint in said city, $1,500,000 Avill be required in addition to such amount as may be needed for the purcbase of land suitably and adax:)tably located for tbe pui'x^ose. After duly considering tbe subject, I am of the ox3inion t b a t tbe convenience o f t h e public business done at tbe mint and tbe economy of tbe x^ublic service Avould be best consulted by tbe acquisition of a new site and tbe erection thereon of a new suitable building for tbe exclusive use o f t h e United States Mint.I would therefore suggest that, to facilitate a speedy comx3liance w i t b tbe x^rovisions of tbe bill, should it become a law, said H. R. bill should be so modified as to make a specific ax)x:>rox3riation for tbe purcbase of land for a site and tbe erection of tbe building in addition to tbe sale of tbe present site and building, after tbe comX^letion of the UCAV building, and t b a t tbe x^roceeds from sucb sale be dex30sited Avitb tbe Treasurer of the United States as miscellaneous receix)ts derived from tbe sale of Government x:)i"0X3erty. Respectfully, yours, JAMES H . WINDRIM, Supervising Arehitect. Hon. W I L L I A M AVINDOM, Secretary of the Treasury. On June 5, 1890, Mr. Darlington, from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, submitted the following report: [House Eeport No. 2326, Pifty-first Congress, first session.] Tbe Committee on Public Buildings a-nd Grounds,, having bad under consideration the bill (H. R. 9957) to x:)i'OAdde for the purcbase of a site and the erection of a x^ublic building tbereon at Pbiladelx3liia, submits the folioAving rex:)ort: ' : - The necessity for tbe.enlargement and iinx3rovement of the Mint of tbe United States at Pbiladelx^bia, for Avbicb tbis bill x^rovides, bas been a matter of consideration by Congress since 1880. The House and Senate committees of tbe Forty-sixth Congress rexDorted favorably ux)on a similar measure, and the House Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures of tbe Forty-seventh Congress unanimously reported a bill wbicb bad originated in the Senate of like imx3ort. Tbe necessity for increasing t h e facilities o f t h e Philadelx^liia Mint has never been questioned, b u t from various causes tbe bills to whicb reference is made failed of final action in tbe • House. In considering the bill submitted, your committee has been greatly aided by information furnished by the Secretary of tbe Treasury and tbe Director of tbe Mint, reenforced by tbe clear, concise, and intelligent statement of tbe superintendent and operativ.e officers of tbe Pbiladelpbia Mint, as Avell as by a memorial signed by the commissioners axDx^ointed b y t h e President to conduct tbe annual trial ofthe pyx for tbe coinage of all tbe mints during tbe year 1889. From these A^arious autborities, all in substantial agreement as regards tbe embarrassments to Avbich the officers in cbarge are subjected by reason of confined quarters, entailing lack of machinery, imperfect ventilation and sanitation, your committee is clearly of tbe opinion tbat t h e provision for the enlargement of tbe x)resent mint building included in tbe sundry civil bill of 1888 ($220,000) signally fails to meet tbe requirements of effective public service. Tbat x^J^OAdsion Avas " for an additional story to and enlarging tbe building, including A^aults, alterations, and otber necessary work." Of this prox^osed enlarge, ment of tbe building Sux')erA4sing Architect J. H. Windrim says tbat, Avhile it would afford somewhat better facilities for tbe conduct of business t b a n at x^i'esent existit Avould not x:>i'ovide the conveniences .needed nor secure economy in management t b a t could be secured by a structure Avitb x^rox^er ground area. Nor can tbe enlargement already authorized be made without an additional ax^x^i'ox^riation. Tbe x^resent mint was erected and completed for coinage purxDoges in 1833, and has been used, Avithout material enlargement, fifty-seven years. Tbe coinage executed in 1833, at wbich time tbe production of the precious metals in tbe Unitecl States was insignificant, Avas 10,370,700 pieces, ofthe value of $3,765,710, and the total value ofthe gold and silver x^roduct for the ensuing ten years Avas only $7,750,000. Tbe present annual product of the precious metals in the United States approximates $100,000,000, and tbe coinage^ of the Pbiladelpbia Mint for the calendar year 1889 aggregated 94,012,194 X3ieces, of tbe value of $24,804,854.84. In addition to the coinage of gofdand 188 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. •o silver tbe mint at Pbiladelpbia is the only institution designated by law to execute minor coinage, for which tbe demand for smalP exchanges is cumulative and pressing. So great is tbe demand for tbese small coins t h a t the Government bas been obliged to purchase tbe blanks ready for stamping, while 9 presses bave been kept busy for many months in tbe execution of tbis coinage ' t o sux3X)ly x^^i^hc demand. Tbe work demanded of tbis mint bas increased 800 X3er cent since the comx^letion of tbe present building i n 1833, as is sbown by its annual output^. Your committee finds a consensus of opinion among tbe officers familiar with coinage matters as resx3ects the remedy, which is increased ground area. ^ This is necessary for tbe efficient and x^roper conduct of tbe delicate and important processes of coinage, Avbicb, Avbetber scientific or mechanical, are to be ranked as works of x^recision. Tbe entire mechanical operation should be on a single floor, the subdepartilients of eacb ox3erative officer being contiguous and continuous. In default of this the work is hindered and tbe risk greatly increased. Tbis is particularly true in the coinage dex3artment, Avhere tbe various processes for converting tbe ingot into coin bave to be carried on in rooms often widely separated, however related tbe processes may be, tbe metal in its several stages passing from ground floor to second story, from seconds story to basement, and thence to tbe presses on the ground floor. I t is evident t h a t processes so important and so necessarily connected Avitb national credit should be divested of all unnecessary risks. Tbat is a desideratum; and it can be secured only by sucb an arrangement of tbe coining department as Avill admit of the carrying forward of the work continuously in rooms contiguous and at grade, so t b a t tbe officer in charge may bave the metal in its various stages under his eye. Sucb necessary supervision of the processes of coining can not be secured in t h e present structure, even if the entire available ground space should be given up to tbe coiner. But tbe processes througb wbicb tbe metals pass before tbey can go to the coiner are many, and necessarily of absolute accuracy. The coinage laid upon tbis mint requires the melter and refiner to melt daily jfrom 5 to 7 net tons of silver. This important work, on the accuracy of Avhich t h e integrity of our coin largely depends, bas to be carried on in cramped quarters and at a disadvantage that greatly increases the labor and risk of t b a t officer. The entire Treasury purcbases of bullion assigned to this mint for conversion into coin have to be passed in at a windoAv of a dex^aitment not under control of the melter and refiner, and no modification of tbe structure yet x^roposed would remove this difficulty. The room referred to is tbe deposit melting room, Avbere the bullion of dexjositors. is melted, a room t h a t should be absolutely isolated from every otber and from the public. The melter and refiner is, by courtesy and necessity, allowed to receive the Treasury purchases through tbe window of this room, and through tbe same windoAv must be taken the fuel for its furnaces. This iuA^olves constant interruptions of the x^rocesses, and more or less confusion, alikQ unjust and detrimental to tbe ox3erative officers concerned, tbe efficiency of public service, and to depositors, whose dex30sits are there prepared for assay. Tbe exigencies of tbe otber operative dexDartments of tbis mint confine the melter • and refiner to a single room, in wbicb be is required to melt and prepare ingots of gold, silver, nickel, and bronze. I t is believed t b a t conditions so incomx^atible Avith AVork t h a t must be absolutely accurate or fail altogether do not exist in any mint of modern structure. No subdivision of any space available in the building can remedy this disability. Beyond these defects the chimney-stacks of the melter and refiner's department are overtopx:)ed by tbe walls of tbe adjoining buildings to tbe extent of five stories. This leaves'the draft ofthe melting-furnaces at the caprice of the winds, Avbicb from tbe west impair the draft and frqm the east drive the fumes and product of combustion into tbe Avindows of neighboring residents. It may be regarded as merely a question of time wben tbe neighboring residents will complain of this annoyance as a nuisance. Wlien tbe x^resent structure was planned, many of the processes of metallurgy now employed were unknown. Some improved machinery, oxoerated by steam, was introduced in 1836. Improved appliances bave been added from time to time, until now this mint la^s behind a quarter of a century in the race of imxDrovement simply because every inch of available space bas been exhausted. Machinery ofthe most advanced order bas become a necessity, and it awaits the purchaser ^A^ho bas space for its accommodation and operation. The mint at Philadelphia can not avail itself of such desirable a n d necessary appliances because its ground space is fully occupied already. The central area, originally intended for ventilating purposes and working space, has, from time to time, as the exigency demanded, been occupied by structures t h a t impair ventilation and lighting and endanger the health, as tbey decrease tbe comfort and convenience, of tbe working force. The bigb modern structures on either band prcA^ent the escape and diffusion.of tbe acid fumes from tbe refinery and cause them to pervade tbe entire buildingo DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 189 I t is proper to note t b a t certain operations by law authorized to be performed at the Philadelphia mint are not performed at any o f t h e otber mints. The dies for tbe coinage of all tbe mints and for national medals are all designed and prex)ared at tbis mint, and all medals of a na,tional cbaracter are executed in the same institution. Tbe engraving department, one of tbe most important of all, because it must maintain uniformity of design in coinage, at x^resent is indifferently accommodated. I t can not,be relieved by any modiiication of the present structure. The assayer and tbe melter and refiner perform intimately related functions, yet they are necessarily located on different floors at present; nor would alterations of the structure enable tbem to occupy communicating apartments. Tbe assay department of the Philadelphia mint enjoys, and bas from an early day enjoyed, an enviable repute for accuracy tbrougbout tbe commercial world. Such repute is of incalculable value to the nation, since it°goes to establisb tbe very foundation of national credit througb tbe knoAvn and invariable integrity of its coinage. Your committee finds t b a t it i's impossible to p u t systematic methods in force in tbe present structure. Yet sucb methods are undoubtedly necessary to secure the bigbest results at a minimhm risk and Avith economy. I t is the x^arent mint, establivsbed early in the nation's career, and located at Philadelphia for reasons quite obvious. Tbe location is near the seaboard, yet not exposed to tbe hazards of invasi.on; in. a great commercial and manufacturing metropolis, and Avitbin easy communication of tbe trade centers of tbe Atlantic slope. Tbe location is in itself a guaranty of safety for tbe treasure t b a t naturally flows to the mint. And this is t h e foremost and richest nation of tbe Avorld, t h e greatest x^roducer of the monej^ metals of all, and now, as for years, requiring more service from its mints t h a n any other nation. Your committee submits t b a t tbe parent mint of the foremost nation on t h e globe should not be second to any either in Avorking space, axopliances, or in tliat structural excellence and design which conjoined crystallize the history of national progress in adamant. While your committee fully discriminates betAveen what is necessary and appropriate, and what is extravagant and lavish in exxDenditures, it recommends such a reconstruction of the parent mint at Pbiladelphia as shall respond to public exigiencies and redound to the credit of tbe nation. In tbis connection it is proper again to refer to the fact t h a t the commission apX^ointed by t h e President to conduct the annual assay last February, was composed of men eminent in tbe business, political,/and scientific world, many of tbem distinguisbed x^bysicists and metallurgists, and t b a t tbis commission, becoming impressed with tbe croAvded condition of tbe mint building and its x^rocesses, unanimously memorialized Congress in favor of a UCAA^ structure witb greater ground space and ax:>pr6ved modern appliances. Tbe gentlemen of t h a t commission rex3resented every section of the Union, from Maine to California, and tbeir unanimous testimony bas value accordingly. After giving full consideration to t b e facts submitted by tbe Secretary of theTreasury, tbe Director of the Mint, tbe superintendent of the mint at Pbiladelpbia, and bis operative officers, together with tbe statements of tbe Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, the committee is enabled to conclude— First. Tbe present mint building at Pbiladelpbia is entirely inadequate to the seiwice required botb as regards area and appliances. Second. No enlargement of ground area is possible; to increase height will not remoA'C tbe disadvantages under Avbicb tbe operations are x^erformed. Tbird. To remedy tbe disabilities so clearly set forth, a n e w site Avith amx^le ground area is absolutely necessary, and a new building on modern lines, with sucb modern apx)liances as experience bas proA^ed necessary for good Avork and x^recision, be erected and equipped. , ' The Director of tbe Mint states t b a t of tbe sum of $220,000 appropriated by tbe sundry civil bill of 1888 for improA^ements tbe sum of $176,600.30 remains available, and t h a t be bas recommended, upon an estimate o f t h e Supervising Architect, an increase of tbis balance to $420,000. If then tbe mint remains at its present location, an immediate expenditure of $420,000 will be necessary. Tlie bill submitted with tbis report provides for the purcbase of a site and tbe erection of a UCAV building at Pbiladelpbia, a t a cost not exceeding $2,000,000, and t h e sale of tbe present building and site. The committee belicA^es t b a t a ne.Av site witb ample ground space and in a desirable location can be procured at a cost of $500,000, and t b a t tbe property now occupied can be sold for at least $800,000. Tbe net cost therefore of tbe property would be $1,200,000, against an appropriation of $420,000 already asked and in X3art appropriated for the enlargement of the mint if it remains at its present location. I t is probable t b a t tbe Government can at tbis time purcbase a desirable site at a less cost t b a n at any future time. I t failed to avail itself of tbe option ofthe entire area from its western foundations to Broad street at a moderate price some years ago, and again in 1882, Avben the land might bave been bad for $400,000, and probably less. Tbe same land can not be purchased to-day tor less than $2,000,000 with the improvements. 190 REPORT ON THE FINANCES, Tbe committee assumes t b a t the mint will be x^ermanently located at Philadelphia, and as enlargement is. a certainty, true economy x)oints at the prcsenf as the prox^er time to provide therefor. The Pbiladelx^hia, Mint was tlie first x^ublic building erected in the United States under Federal anthority, and t b e act creating it was ax3X3roved by President AVashington. Its liistory and the coinage of tbe nation is one of tbe niany historical associations t h a t cluster around the city of Pbiladelx^bia—memorable in every x^atriotic imx^ulse and action. Tbe committee recommend thex^assage of tbe bill Avith tbe folioAAdng amendments: In line 12 strike out all after the word ^ dollars^^ down to and including line 15, ^ wbicb is tbe ax3prox3riating claiise. In line 26 strike out tbe Avords " by this act,'^ In line 38 strike out tbe Avord ^ said.'' ^ I n line 41 strike out t h e Avord " said." E"o action A^as taken, duriiig the first session of the Fifty-first Congress, by the House of Eepresentatives, on the i'avorable report, from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds on the bill providing for the purchase of a neA¥ site and the erection of a ncAv mint at Philadelphia. During the second session of the Fifty-first Congress, Senate bill ISTo. 5110 (being identical with the bill favorably reported from the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds) to provide for the ]3urchase of a site and the erection of a public building thereon at Philadelphia, was taken from the Calendar and passed the Senate February 26, 1891. ' ^' In the House of Representatives, on March 2, 1891, on motion of Mr. Bingham, the rules were suspended and Senate bill 5110 Avas passed, . The bill A^as approved by the President the next day. The folioAAang is the text of the law: A B I L L to proAdde for the purclnase of a site ancl the erection of a public buildingo thereon at Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsyh'^ania. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Eepresentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and be is hereby, authorized and directed to acquire, by purcbase, condemnation, or otherAvise, a site and cause to be erected tbereon a suitable building,, including fireproof vaults, beating and ventilating appa-ratus, eleA''ators, and apxDroacbes, for the use and accommodation of tbe United States Mint, in tbe city of Pbiladelx^bia and State of PeniisylA^ania, tbe cost of said site and building, including said vaults, heating and ventilating apxiaratus, elcA^ators, and ax3X^i'oaches, comx3lete,.not to exceed tbe sum of tAVO million dollars. So mucb of the ax^propriation as may be necessary to defray traveling exx^enses and other expenses incident to tbe selection of tbe site, and for necessary survey thereof, sball be immediately aA^ailable. ' So much of said apx^i'OX3riation as may be necessary for tbe x^rex^aration of sketch plans, drawings, specifications, and detailed estimates for the building by tbe SuX^ervising Architect of tbe Treasury Dex3artment shall be available immediately ux^on the selection of tbe site by the Secretary of the^Treasury. No money apx^ropriated shall be available, excex^t as hereinbefore provided, until a valid title to the sitQ^for said building sball be vested in tbe United States, nor until tbe State of Pennsylvania sball have ceded to tbe United States exclusive jurisdiction over the same, during tbe time the United States sball be or remain the owner thereof, for all purxDOses excex^t t h e . administration of tbe criminal laws of said State and the service of ciAdl process therein. After the said site shall have been x^aid for and tbe sketch x^lans and detailed drawings for tbe buildings sball have been x)rex)aredbythe Sux)erAising Architect, and approved by tbe Secretary of t h e Treasury and Director of tbe Mint, the balance of fippropriation shall be aA^ailable for the erection and corax)letion of the building, including fir ex^r oof A^aults, heating andA'entilating ax3X3aratus, elevators, anda.pproacbes, and sucb balance of the apx^ropriation as may remain available after the building sball bave been completed shall be ax^xolied to and used in the x)urcbase of apx^aratus for the i3urposes of tbe mint. The buildingsball be unexposed to danger from fire by an oxDcn sx^ace of at least forty feet on each side, including streets and alleys. That tbe Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, further directed, when the new building berein authorized to be erected sball have been comx^leted, to disi)ose of DIRECTOR OF T H E MINT. 191 the x^resent United States Mint building in tbe city of Pbiladelx^bia and State of Pennsylvania, at private or public sale, and to give a quitclaim deed to t h e x)urcbaser thereof, and to deposit tbe x^roceeds of tbe sale to the credit of tbe Treasurer o f t h e United States in the manner prescribed by section tbirty-six hundred and seventeen and tbirty-six bundred and eigbteen, United States Revised Statutes. Soon after the jjassage of this law the question was raised as to Avhether it contained any appropriation for carrying into effect its proAdsions. The question Avas submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Attorney-General for his opinion. The folloAving is the opinion of the Attorney-General on the subject: DEPARTMENT OF J U S T I C E , Washington, D. C , March ^8, 1891. SIR : By letter of tbe 7th instant you invited the attention, of tbe Attorney-General to an act of Congress, apprOA^ed Marcb 3, 1891, entitled '^An act to x>rovide for the Xmrcbase of a site and t h e erection of a public building tbereon at Pbiladelpbia, in t h e State of Pennsylvania," and' requested bis opinion ^^Avbether or not said bill carries the ax>X3rox3riation of $2,000,000 mentioned therein for tbe purcbase o f t h e site named in tbe bill and t h e erection of a building tbereon." You inclosed a copy of the act, tbe important x)art of Avbicb for this discussion is as fblloAvs: ^'That tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to acquire, by x^urcliase, condemnation, or otherAvise, a s i t e , and cause to be erected tbereon a suitable building, including firex^roof vaults, beating and ventilating ax3paratus, elevators, and axoproacbes, for tbe use and accommodation of the United States mint in t h e city of Pbiladelx^bia and State of Pennsylvania, tbe cost of said site and building, including said vaults, beating and ventilating apx)aratus, elevators, and approaches, comx^lete, not to exceed tfie sum of $2,000,000. ^^So much of the apx^ropriation as may be necessary to defray traveling expenses and otber exx^enses incident to the selection of tbe site, and for necessary survey thereof, sball be immediately aA^ailable. " So mucb of said axox^i'opriation as may be necessary for tbe x^reparation of sketch plans, drawings, specifications, and detailed estimates for the building by the Sux^ervising Architect of tbe Treasury Department shall be available immediately ux^on tbe selection of the site by the Secretary of tbe Treasury. " No money ax^prox^riated shall be aA^ailable, excex^t as hereinbefore x^rovided, uiitil a A^alid title to the site for said building shall be A^ested in the United States, nor until tbe State of Pennsylvania shall haveced.ed t o t h e United States exclu sive jurisdiction over tbe sanie^ during the time the United States shall be or remain the oAA^ner thereof, for all x^urx^oses excex^t tbe administration of tbe criminal laws of said State ^ and tbe service of civil x^rocess therein. ^ After tbe said site shall have been paid for, and tbe vsketcb plans and detailed ^ draAvings for tbe building shall have been x^rex^ared b}^ the Supervising Architect and axDproved by tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury and Director of the Mint, the balance of ax^prox^riation sball be available for tbe erection and comx^letion of the building, including fireproof vaults, beating and ventilating ax3X3aratus, elevators, and apX)roacbes, and such balance of the ax^propriation as inaj^ remain available after tbe building sball have been comx)leted shall be applied to and used in tbe X5u.rcbase of apx^aratus fbr tbe X3urx30ses of tbe mint." In my ox^inion no money is appropriated by tbis act for tbe x)urposes therein inentioned. Its language, j u s t quoted, if taken alone, Avould probably by imx)lication ° carry an appropriation; b u t Avben Ave consider it in connection witb the rule of construction laid down in tbe section o f t h e sundry ciAdl act of August 7, 1882 (22 Stats., 305), referred to by you, together Avitb tbe x^aiii anient ary history of this act, and .others of tbe same character passed by tbe same Congress, it is impossible to escape the conclusion t h a t Congress did not intend by tbe hinguage aboA^e quoted to take t h e sum of money therein mentioned out of tbe Treasury. The section in the sundry civil act of 1882 is as folloAvs: "Provided, Tbat no act passed authorizing tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury to x^urcbase a site and erect a X3ublic building tbereon sball be beld and construed to appropriate money, unless tbe act in exx^ress language makes such appropriations." Though tbis is a x^roviso in an. apxn'oxDiiation bill, its language is so general as to affect all future legislation. Tbe act under consideration, tberefore, must contain an exx3ress approx^riation of money. There certainly is no exx^ress ax^x^ropriation of $2,000,000. There is a reference in the second x)aragraph of tbe act to an. apx)rdx)riation. I n tbe tbird x)ai'agrapb tbe reference is repeated, witb the Avords ^^said apX^rox^riation." The Avord '^apx3ropriated" occursin tbe fourtb x^ar a graph, and ^ bal^ ance of the ax^proxiriation" tAvice in the fifth. I t A ould be natural to refer these V words to the exx^ress authority conferred on tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury in the first 192 ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. X^aragrax^b—to acquire by purchase, condemnation, or otherwise, a site, and cause to be erected tbereon a suitable building not to exceed tbe sum of $2,000,000, and to give to t b a t authority the effect of an a,pprox3riation. Such a construction, boAvcA'^^er, would be an ax3propriation by imx>licatio.n, forbidden by the section of the sundry ciAil act of 1882, quoted above. ' The x^arliamentary history of tbe act Avill sboAV t h a t the words " appropriation '^ and ^'ax)propriated," wbercA^er thej^ occur in the act, must have reference to a future ax^x^rox^riation to be made in another act, and must be construed to limit the exx^enditure under sucb apxDropriation. I t apx)ears t b a t on May 2,1890 (Congressional Record, vol. 21, p a r t 5, p. 4172), a bill (H. R. 9957) to provide for tbe purcbase of a site and tbe erection of a public building tbereon, at Pbiladelx3bia, in tbe State of PennsylA^ania., was introduced by Mr. Bingham, was read tAvice, and referred to tbe Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. On J u n e 5, 1890 (Congressional Record,, vol. 21, p a r t 6, x^- 5670), Mr. Darlington, from tbe Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, rexoorted this bill Avitb amendments, a,nd it was committeci to the Committee of the Whole House on tbe state of tbe Union and ordered to be printed. The bill, as originally introduced by Mr. Bingham, was exactly like the act under consideration except t h a t at the end of the first x^aragraph were the following Avords: ^'Which said sum of two million dollars is hereby ax^propriated for said purx^ose out of any moneys in tbe United States Treasury n o t otherwise appropriated," and t b a t in tbe fourth paragraph after the AVords ^^no money apj)ropriated ^' were the AA^ords ^^by this act," and in the fifth paragraph, before t h e word^^ appropriation " a s it occurs twice therein, was the Avord ^' said." The bill as reported back by tbe committee was accompanied by a report (Report No. 2326) wbich recommended tbe passage of t h e bill, with t h e following amendments: "^^In line twelve, strike out all after the yvord ^^ doUars" doAvn to and including line fifteen, which is the appropriating clause. In line twenty-six, strike out the Avords ^' by this act." In line thirty-eight, strike out the word ^' said" I n line forty-one, strike out the word ^^said." Nothing else Avas done with the bill in the first session. On February 19,1891, Mr. Spooner, for Mr. Cameron, introduced in the Senate a bill exactly in the words o f t h e bill which Ave bave followed in the House, as ainended b y t h e Committee on Public Buildings. Tbe bill Avas referred in tbe Senate to the Committee on Public Grounds and Buildings, and on February 26, 1891, Avas reported back and passed. February 28, 1891, in the House tbe Senate bill Avas read tAvice and referred to the Committee on Public Grounds and Buildings, by whom, on tbe same day, it was rexDorted with the recommendation that, as it was identical witb the House, bill, it be taken as a substitute for the same and passed (H. R. 4025). I t was x^assed in tbis form, and Avas ax)proved on Marcli 3,1891. The Senate bill is the same bill as the amended House bill, and was introduced as an original bill in tbe Senate merely to facilitate its passage. The bistorj^ of t h e House bill must, therefore affect the construction of the Senate bUl which finally became t h e law. The amendments to t h e original House bill conclusively established the intention on the part of Congress to eliminate the ax3propriation. A reference to t h e Congressional Record, vol. 21, p a r t 5, x^P- 2040 to 2049, will disclose an extended debate as to the policy to be pursued by the House of Rex^resentatives on bills for the erection of public buildings and will throw light on the purpose o f t h e Honse Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, in striking out the appropriating clause in t h r i l l under discussion. I t Avill there be found t h a t tbe conclusion reached was, t h a t no X3ublic building bill should be allowed to x>^ss containing an appropriation; t h a t the matter of appropriations forthe buildings whose construction was authorized should be l(}ft to the Appropriations Committee, to be included in the sundry civil bill. The Senate concurred in t h a t '^VMX as will be found by reference to the Congressional Record, vol. 21, part 5, x^p. 4188 and 4189, where, in discussion over the passage of a bill authorizing the erection of a public building at Lima, Ohio, Mr. Payne, in support of his amendment to the bill, striking out the appropriating clause, in ansAver to Mr. Sherman's remark t h a t '^ the Avords of ax^pfopriation ought to be left i h " said: ^^No, the committee of conference have agreed, on t h e demand of t h e otber House, to strike out all the apx^rox^riations in x^ublic building bills, and all the bills t h a t go to the House are amended in t h a t Avay." Mr. SHERMAN. ^^ And proAdding for t h e appropriations in a sex^arate general bill." Many o f t h e public building bills passed by the Fifty-first Congress Avere xnefjared w i t h an approx^riating clause, and Avhen this was stricken out in accordance with the policy j u s t adverted to, care Avas not always taken to strike out also in subsequent clauses of the same bills references to the eliminated ax^x^ropriation. These clauses usually fixed the time at Avhich parts o f t h e appropriation should become aA^ailable. The only effect which can be x^rox^eiiy given to such references in x^ublic building acts, is to make theiii ax^x^ly to apx^rox^riations for the purpose of carrying out the act to be thereafter made^ DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. ° 193 A consideration of other bills passed by this same Congress for the erection of public buildings, in connection with the appropriations therefor in the sundry civil bill, leaves no doubt of the correctness of this construction. On page 66 of the Pamphlet LaAvs of the first session. Fifty-first Congress, is an act authorizing the construction of a public building at Baton Rouge, La. The third clause of t h a t bill i s : ^' So mucb of the appropriation herein made as may be necessary to defray tbe expenses of advertising for proposals, etc., shall be immediately available." The third clause i s : ^^So much of said appropriation as may be necessary for the preparation, etc., shall be available immediately upon the report of the commissioners selecting the site." . Other clauses of a similar character follow. Nevertheless, we find on page 371 ofthe sundry civil act for the same year an appropriation ^' for post-office at Baton Rouge, Louisiana; for purchase of site and commencement' of building under present limit, thirty thousand dollars." I t Avould be absurd to contend t h a t the bill, authorizing the construction and fixing the limit of $100,000, contained an appropriation of t h a t amount, and t h a t this appropriation of $30,000 in the sundry civil bill was in addition thereto. The two acts are only t o . be reconciled, therefore, on the theory t h a t the first v/as not intended to carry an appropriation, as its parliamentary history Avill show, and t h a t the reference to the appropriation made in the original act must be giveji effect by applying it to the approx3riation under the sundry, civil bill. The same thing is true of the acts authorizing the construction of public buildings at Martinsburg (Pamphlet Laws, Fifty-first Congress, first session, 127), at Lafayette, Ind., and at Burlington, Iowa, by t h e same congress (Pamphlet Laws, p p . I l l and 107), appropriations for which will be found in the sundry ciAdlact in the same volume (p. 371 et seq.) o f t h e Pamphlet Laws. The conclusion necessarily is, then, t h a t there is no appropriation in the act now in question. The fact t h a t Congress failed in the sundry civil appropriation act of 1891 to make any appropriation to which the language in this act can apply, is not material. Tbe presumption arising therefrom must J)e t h a t the Fifty-first Congress deemed it wise t o delay tbe time for carrying out t h e a c t until a future Congress should make an appropriation therefor. " Very respectfully, W M . H . TAFT, Solicitor General, ' ' W. H.H.MILLER, Attorney General. Tt wiU be seen that the Attorney-General held.that the act in question contained no appropriation. On July 10, 1891, the Secretary of the Treasury addressed a communication to the folloAving-named gentlemen, residing in Philadelphia: Hon. E. H. Fitler, Samuel Gustine Thompson, Anthony J. Drexel, William M. Singerly, James H. Windrim, Alexander K, McClure, and O. C. BosbysheU. & The communication read: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, O F F I C E OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, D. C , July 10, 1891. DEAR S I R : The act of Congress approved March 3, 1891, entitled '^An act to provide for the purcbase of a site and the erection of a public buHding thereon," directed ^ That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and ^ directed t© acquire by purchase, condemnation, or otherwise, a site and cause to be erected thereon a suitable building, including fireproof vaults, heating and ventilating apparatus, elevators, and approaches, for tbe use and accommodation of the United States Mint, in the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, the cost of said site and building, including said vaults, heating and ventilating apparatus, elevators, and approaches, complete, not to exceed the sum of two million doUars." I t was the very general belief of those interested in the passage of this measure t h a t it was the intention of Congress to appropriate $2,000,000 for carrying out the purposes of the act, b u t owing to t h e absence of express language of approx3riation, it has been decided t h a t there is no money appropriated by this act for the purposes mentioned, and consequently t h a t no expense can be incurred in connection therewith. In order, hoAvever, t h a t t h e Department may be in a position to submit for future Congressional action some definite estimate as to the cost of procuring a suitable site for the mint at Philadelphia, I have the bonor to request t h a t you will act as a member of a commission of citizens of Philadelphia, designated by nie, for t h e FI 91 13 194 . ^ REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. purpose of recommending.to t h e Department a suitable site for t h e new mint building in t h a t city and aiU estimate of t h e x^robable cost. I t will be understood, of course, t h a t such services will be gratuitous and t h a t no expenses of any kind connected witb t h e work o f t h e commission can be paid b y t h e Department, and t h a t no contract can be made with any person for t b e purchase of property. I t will be a public serAdce and I shaU be personally obliged if you will act in t h e capacity requested. • I t is desired t h a t a rexDort in writir^g should be made to me by t h e commission not later than November of the present year. I am sir, very resx^ectfully, CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary of the Treasury. On September 8, 1891, the commission designated by the Secretary of the Treasury submitted a unanimous report recommending a suitable site for the mint of the United States at Philadelphia, with an estimate of its cost, not exceeding $800,000. I have the honor to recommend that Congress be requested to approIDriate $800,000 for the purchase of a new site for the mint at Philadelphia, including the preparation of plans for a new mint. AMENDMENT TO T H E LAW REGARDING PARTING AND REFINING OF BULLION AT T H E MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICE AT N E W YORK. In my last fiscal report attention was directed to the fact that under a decision of the First Comptroller of the Treasury, October 24, 1885, the receipts from the sale of spent acid and blue vitriol, by-products of the acid refineries, which prior to that time had been used in offsetting bills for acid for the refinery, were construed to be sales of old material, and the money so derived was required to be deposited in the Treasury of the United States as a miscellaneous receipt. In that report letters of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, the Director of the Mint, and the First Comptroller, Recommending a change in the law,by Avhich the amount received from the sale of by-products from acid refineries might be applied as-formerly to the expenses of the refineries, were presented. These letters were as foUows: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, January 20,1887. S I R : I have t h e honor to transmit herewith, for t h e consideration of Congress, copy of letter o f t h e Director o f t h e Mint, of t h e 12th instant, and inclosure, re'commending certain legislation in the matter of parting and refining bullion by which the sale of t h e by-products of acid refineries can be appUed to t h e reduction of t h e exx3enses of such refineries. Respectfully, yours, D. MANNING, Secretary. The S P E A K E R OF THE H O U S E OF R E P R E S E N T A T I V E S . TREASURY DEPARTMENT, B U R E A U O F THE MINT, Washington, D.. C , January 12, 1887. S I R : Paragraph 8, page 379, of t h e Supplement to t b e Revised Statutes of t h e United States, provides: '^And refining and parting of bullion shall be carried on a t t h e mints of t h e United States and at t h e assay office at New York. ''And it shall be lawful to apply the moneys arising from' charges collected from depositors for these operations pursuant to law, so far as may be necessary, t o t h e defraying in full of the expenses thereof, including labor, materials, and wastage. ' ' B u t no part of t h e moneys otherwise appropriated for t h e support of the minta DIRECTOR OF T H E MINT. ' 195 and tbe assay office at New York shall be used to defray the expenses of refining and parting bullion." Under this x)rovision of law, Avhich was passed originally in the approx3riation act approved August 15, 1876 (19 Stats., 156,-157), tbe charges for parting and refining bullion were so fixed at the several coinage mints and the assay office at New York t h a t the receipts should equal, as nearly as x^ossible, the expenses of the operations. The spent acid and blue vitriol resulting from the processes of refining, prior to October 24, 1885, havebeen credited on the bills for acid, thereby reducing the expenses of the refinery at the New York assay office some $20,000 a year. On the 24th October, 1885, the first comptroller decided t h a t the receipts from spent acid and blue vitriol must be couvsidered as old material, and, under section 3618 Revised Statutes, deposited in the Treasury. In the report of this Bureau for the last fiscal year, pages 6 and 7,1, have referred to the effect of this ruling in the accounts o f t h e assay office at New York. A similar effect will be produced upon the accounts of the whole mint service, in t h a t the expenditure wUl not appear to have been diminished by regular manufacturing assets. A still more importa.nt effect of this ruling is to render the acid refineries of the mint service, under the present schedule of charges, no longer able to be self-supporting, as the law requires. I t Avill be necessary, therefore, either to mcrease the schedule of charges imxDosed"^ upon depositors of bullion or modify the law so as to exx3licitly provide for the application of the proceeds of the sale of t h e by-products of the acid refineries of the mints and assay offices of the United States to the reduction of the expenses of tbe operations of such acid refineries. I have the honor to recommend the latter alternative, and beg to suggest t h a t par. 8, p. 379, of the Supplement to t h e Revised Statutes, be reenacted in the legislative ax3prox3riation bill for the fiscal year 1888, so as to read as follows: "And refining and parting of bullion shall be carried on at the mints of the United States and at the assay office at New York. "And it shall be lawful to apply, pursuant to law, t h e moneys arising from charges, collected from depositors and from the proceeds of the sale of by-products resulting from the operations of the refinery, so far as may be necessary, to the defraying in full o f t h e expenses thereof, including labor, materials, and wastage. " B u t no p a r t of t h e moneys otherwise apx^ropriated for the support of the mints and the assay office at New York shaU be used to defray the expenses of refining and parting bullion." Hoping t h a t you will be pleased to present this matter to t h e consideration of Congress, I am, very respectfully, yours, J A M E S P. KIMBALL, Director of the Mint.

' In reply, I will say I see no good reason why such a clause should not be appended to the bill in question. The letter of the Director of the Mint is herewith returned. Very respectfully, M. J . DURHAM, Coinptroller, The SECRETARY OF T H E T R E A S U R Y . The folloA^dng biU, framed to cover the proposed change, was introduced in the Fifty-first Congress: „ Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Eepresentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembledj That paragraph eight of chapter three hundred and twenty 196 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. seven of the Supplement to the Revised Statutes of the United States, which requires t h a t refining and parting of bullion shall be carried on at the mints of the United States and at the assay office at New York, be amended by inserting after the word " l a w , " in the fourth line, the folloAving words: " a n d from the proceeds of tbe sale of by-products resulting from the operations of the refinery," so t h a t the paragraph, shall read: " A n d it shall be law^ful to apply tbe moneys arising from charges collected from dex3ositors for these operations x^ursuant to laAv, and from the proceeds of the sale of by-products resulting from the execrations of tbe refinery, so far as may be necessary, to tbe defraying in full of the expenses thereof, including labor, materials, and wastage." I have the honor to again urge the passage of this measure. SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS OF MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICES. The precious metals received at the mints and assay offices during the fiscal year 1891 were valued at $143,255,832, against $92,793,958 i*eceived in the previous year, an increase of $50,461,874. The value of the precious metals deposited only partially represents the operations necessary for their metallurgical and mechanical treatment. The operations of the melting and refining departments of the coinage mints and of the assay office at ISTew York, so far as the value of. the metals treated is concerned, is exhibited in the following table: BULLION OPERATIONS O F T H E M E L T I N G DEPARTMENTS) 1891..

In quantity the precious metals operated upon ih the different departments ofthe mints and assay offices during the last fiscal year exceeded 228 tons of gold and 4,942 tons of siNer. ^ The value of the precious metals wasted in the metaUurgical and mechanical operations was $12,287.05. In addition to operative wastage, a loss of $15,850.41 was incurred from the sale of sweeps, equivalent to the difference between the value of the precious metals contained in sweeps recovered and the amount realized from the sale of sweeps too base to be treated advantageously in Government refineries. There was a similar loss of $84.16 by the sale of leady melts, and a wastage of minor-coinage metal of the value of $1,188.78. These wastages and losses aggregated $29,410.40. Against these losses there were gains arising from the operations on bullion as follows: Character. Amount. Surplus bullion returned bycoperative officers.'. Precious metals recovered iurgrains and sweepings . Gain on. bullion shipped from the minor assay offices to the niint for coinage $39,393.14 8,155.20 4,752. 33 Total gains 52, 300.67 Deducting the A^alue of the total oi)erative wastage and loss on sale of sweeps from the value of the incidental gains of bullion, there was a net gain in the operations of the mints during the year of $22,890.27. The relative cost of the coinage executed at' the four coinage mints is exhibited in the following table: COST O F COINAGE AT EACH M I N T , 1891. L o c a t i o n of m i n t .

WhUe it is inequitable to draw comparisons between the relative cost of coinage at the various mints, as exhibited in the above table, for.the reason that the character and amount of the coinages executed at them are so dissimilar, it is gratifying to report that the expenses of coinage was considerably reduced as compared with prior years, the cost per piece last year being sUghtly less than 1 cent, against a cost -per piece exceeding 1 cent the prior year, and, exclusive of minor coinage, 2-^ cents per piece during the last fiscal year against 2^- cents in the preceding year.

In my last fiscal report attention was directed to the valuable and inaterial improvements introduced in the mint at Philadelphia, under the efficient management of the present superintendent, Mr. O. O. Bosbyshell, insuring not only greater comfort and convenience,, but more efficient service. During the last fiscal year the addition of needed improvements, the abandonment of obsolete machinery, and the reclamation of room, have added greatly to the convenience of business and the efficiency of the mint. Aside from the purchase of new machinery, most of these improvements haA^e been made by the mint force and at slight expense. A commodious room has been built on the top of the steel vault in the courtyard, which is used for the redemption, sorting, and counting of minor coins, while the space formerly occupied in the basement for this pnri^ose has been utilized for temporary vaults for the storage of silverbars. The storage capacity has been further increased by lowering the floors of two old vaults to a level with the corridor, Awhile vaults for the cashier and for the custody of silver coins receivecl for recoinage have been constructed by loAvering the floor of the custodian's room and removing his office to the upper corridor. The rooms assigned the cashier and calculating clerks have been enlarged and greatly improved by removing the walls in the east and west corridors and inserting in place thereof glass partitions and counters. This not only affords more space and light, but greater convenience to the public. In the coining department, a new set of steel rolls with the necessary shafting has been set up. The rolls used for finishing the strips were formerly obtained from Krupp, in • Germany, but in late years he has decUned to famish them. American steel rolls have been tried with indifferent success, and recently the shrinkage of hardened sleeves over steel mandrils were tried, but with little satisfaction. I t is therefore gratifying to report that new steel rolls, manufactured by the Tretheway Company, of Pittsburg, were secured during the past' year, which have been found to do the work admirably. They are harder, and retain their face even better than the Krupp rolls, and are superior.to any steel rolls yet used in the mint. Two additional recutting xnesses and a self-feeding cutting press have been added to the coining departinent. A new turning-up lathe has been put in place in the engraving department, and in the machine shop a cutting-off* lathe, an open sideplaner, a twist drill-grinder, and an emery tool-grinder, all of the most approA^ed make. A 25 horse-power electric motor has been introduced, so that the machine shop, engraving department, hoisting machinery, and coining presses are now independent of steam-power. • A new circular saw, with adjustable table, has been provided for the carpenter shop. I:^ew steam pumps of the best pattern, an improved exhaust head in steam pipes, improved methods of ridding the boilers from scale and. for disposing of the hot water from condensed steam, have been iQtroduced in the engineer's department. The farniture of the mint has been overhauled and repaired, and the entire budding has been thoroughly cleaned and brightened up. 201 DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.

The storage capacity of these vaults is about 42,000,000 silver doUars in sacks of $1,000 each. The Ai^aults are lined with three layers of three-eighths inch steel, 5-ply welded steel, and iron and Bessemer ductile steel, and furnished with outer and inner doors. The outer door is single, made of six layers of one-half inch welded steel, iron and ductile steel, fitted A\dth bolts made of 7-ply welded chrome steel and iron. The inner door is folding, made of four layers of the same material, all hardened drill, saw, and file proof, and each fitted with four tumbler combination locks. The total cost of the vaults was $25,196. One of these vaults is at present used for the storage of sih^er dollars, and;the other, for the storage of silver bars. During the past year the old sidewalks around the mint have been removed and replaced by patent cement sidewalks. MINT AT NEW ORLEANS.

The principal improvement in this department during the year was the introduction of an electric motor plant. The amount of bulUon operated ui3on in the acid refinery during the fiscal year was 686,101 standard ounces of gold and 3,472,898 of silver. The result of the year's work was a surplus of 603.085 ounces of gold and 2,034.18 of silver. A feature of the business not much regarded by the general public is worthy of attention, both as an economy, and as indicating the great progress effected, in recent years, in the refineries of gold and sUver ore established in the United States. Formerly the sweepings recovered were sold at an average deduction of about 4 J cents per pound from assay value, and were shipped abroad for reduction. ]S"ot only has the shipment abroad ceased, but the average deduction from assay value, made by domestic refineries in buying, has been reduced to about I J cents, As 460 barrels of sweeps, containing nearly 200,000 pounds net, were sold from this institution alone during the year, some idea maybe formed ofthe immense saving throughout the country effected by the improvement in refining base bars and bullion. A t the close of theyear the gold and sUver bullion was weighed and the coin examined by Messrs F. P . Gross, adjuster of this Bureau, and H. C. Stier, of the First Auditor's Office, Treasury Department, who reported that they found on hand aU the buUion and coin with which the superintendent was charged. 214 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

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

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

EEPOET OF THE COMPTROLLEE OF THE CUEEEHCY, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, O F F I C E OF THE C O M P T R O L L E R ' O F T H E CURRENCY, Washington, D. G,, December 7, 1891. S I R : I liave tlie lonor to submit for the consideration of Congress^ in compliance with the provisions of section 333 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States, the twenty-ninth annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency. Theyear covered by this report ended October 31, 1891, During "the larger part of this period severe depression was experienced iu all sections of the country, and business in its various forms was contracted in volume and unsatisfactory in results. A t the opening of the report j^ear the stringency which characterized the, money market during the autumn of 1890 was at its height, its most disastrous effects having been felt during the month of November. A period of liquidation then set in which had hardly spent its force when the bountiful harvest of 1891 brought much needed relief. l^otwithstanding the unfavorable conditionsdndicated, 193 new banks were organized during the year, located in 41 States and Territories, and opbssessing an aggregate capital of $20,700,000. The accessions are numerically in excess of the average and have been exceeded in only seven out of the twenty-nine years during which the system has been in operation. During this twelvemonth 41 banks went into voluntary liquidation and 25 became insolvent, leaving as a net gain for the report year 127 associations, with a capital of $12,553,000, which is, as to number of banks, precisely the net average yearly increase during the life of the system. The number of .banks now in operation is greater than at any former period. There has been a satisfactory increase in the totals of capital stock, surplus fund, and undivided profits, and this is also true of dejDosits, loans and discounts. The number of banks in existence October 31, 1891, was 3,694, having in capital stock $684,755,865- bonds deposited to secure circulation, $152,113,850; bank notes outstanding, $171,368,948, including'$35,430,721 representing lawful money deposited to redeem, circulation still outstanding. The amount of circulation secured °by the pledge of United States bonds has increased during the year $11,795,101, 318 COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 319 The following table gives the number of banks organized during the year ended October 31,1891, in each State and Territory, with their aggregate capital: statues and Territories.

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

The most notable feature of the foregoing table is the large number of associations which have become insolvent during the year. They aggregate 25 banks, with a capital of $3,662,000. The year 1873, however, appears to have been the most disastrous in point of capital, as during that period the failure of 11 banks, with a capital of $3,825,000, is recorded. The next in point of importance was 1877, when ten failures occurred, representing a capital of $3,344,000. If we consider the relative proportions existing between the liabilities of failed and active banks during various periods, it will be found that seven years have been more disastrous than the one just closed, to wit: 1867, 1872, 1873. 1877, 1878, 1882, and 1884. The liabilities of banks closed on account of insolvency in each of these seven years constitutes a larger percentage of the total liabilities of aU .existing banks than is shown by the record of the year covered by this report. Of the 25 failed banks, having an aggregate capital of $3,662,000, 13, representing $1,137,000 of capital, were located in Kansas and Nebraska. The larger part of the failures in these two States were attributable to four successive crop failures, and seem' to be the result of unavoidable misfortunes rather than the lack of honest and efficient manage^ 321 COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. ment. In many cases, however, the unfavorable conditions were greatly aggravated by the collapse of unwise speculation in real estate, more especially in city and suburban property. The Comptroller endeavored by correspondence with various State officers, receivers, and assignees to ascertain the number of failures of banks and bankers other than national during the past twelve months, but was unable to thus secure data upon which rehance could be placed. He has been supplied, however, through the courtesy of a commercial agency,* with a fist of failures in the United States of bankers, brokers, trust companies, and savings banks for the year ended June 30,1891. These number in aH 117 institutions, having liabilities estimated at $38,271,611, and assets valued at $20,794,092. No reliable data in relation to the losses to creditors by reason of the failure of banks other than national for recent years is accessible. In order that a comparison may be made between the comparative safety ^ of national and State systems I am led to quote from the report of Hon, John Jay Knox, then OomptroUer^ of the Currency, for the year 1879, where the subject is discussed. He says: There is no means of definitely determining t h e amount of losses sustained through t h e failures of banks operating under systems in vogue during the earlier periods of t h e history of this country. The losses'under those systems^ both to the noteholders, to whom there can Ibe no loss under t h e national system, and to their general creditors and shareholders, are known to have been large. The loss to noteholders alone is estimated to have been 5 per cent annually upon the total amount of circulation outstanding. In EllioVs Funding System, on page 1176, it is stated t h a t fifty-five banks with an aggregate capital of $^7,036,265 and circulation of $23,577,752, failed in 1841. The total bank capital of tha^ year is stated by the same authority to have been $317,642,692, and the circulation at $121,665,198; and it is also stated in t h e same connection t h a t in nearly every instance the entire, capital o f t h e banks which failed was lost. Numerous failures of private banking firms have occurred in this country w i t h i n the last six years, and the losses consequent upon three or four of them are equal to t h e total losses which have occurred under t h e national system. For the purpose of comparing t h e losses to creditors of insolvent national banks with those sustained by t h e creditors of insolvent banks other t h a n national, much pains have been taken by the Comptroller to obtain as reliable and complete statistics as possible relating to the failures of State and savings banks and private bankers in the difierent States during ethe three years ending J a n u a r y 1,1879.

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

The conspicuous relative reduction in legal expenses is worthy of remark. The first semidecade shows an average disbursement for legal expenses of $4.03 on each $100 collected, while, the same item during tlie last semi-decade is stated at only 81 cents. The average expenses to each $100 of collections for receivers' salaries and all other expenses decreased from $9.13 during the first semidecade to $3.27 during the last. Taking into account all the expenses of administration, we find that the cost per $100 during the last period is $4.08, as against $13.16 during the first. A corresponding increase in the percentage of dividends paid to the creditors of insolvent banks is also to be noted. • During the first period, claimants received on the average 62.84 per cent; during the last period 90.65 per cent, and for the entire life of the system 74.17 per cent. The increase in dividends and decrease in expenses go hand in hand. The increase in rate per cent paid to creditors Is due in part to greater efficiency and economy in conducting the liquidations, and partly to the fact that recent failnres are less disastrous than in the earlier years of the system. These results indicate that governmental supervision is growing more effective as new and improved methods are evolved from experience. Certainly no other system of liquidating insolvent banks has ever proved so effective and economical,' the record of the past five years showing average dividends to creditors of 90.65 per cent, and average expenses of only 4.08 per cent is in both respects believed to be without a parallel. 324 ' REPORT ON. T H E FINANCESo AMENDMENTS TO PRESENT LAWo The Comptroller desires to repeat in substance the recommendations contained in his report for 1890. In his opinion the present law should be so amended as to provide: ^ (1) That no association shaU be required to maintain a bond deposit of more than $1,000 to secure circulation. (2) That every association may issue circulating notes equal to the par value of the bonds so depositedo (3) That the monthly withdrawal of bonds pledged to secure such notes shall not exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate. (4) That the semi-annual duty on circulation be so reduced as to equal one-fourth of 1 per cent per annum. These recommendations are made upon the supposition that Congress will not favorabljr consider measures looking to any considerable increase of circulation through further note issues by national banks. While the Comptroller is of the opinion that bank notes possess certain qualities not found in any form of governmental issues, but which are necessary to a perfect circulating medium, he is, nevertheless, aware that the present is not an opportune time for presenting his views upon that subject. He deems it wise to accept the situation, so far as note issues are concerned, and ask for such legislation as will relieve national banks so far as possible from the enforced and unremunerative issue of circulating notes, so that they may be unembarrassed in their efforts to faithfully serve the public as banks of discount and deposit. Inasmuch as the secia^ed circulation of national banks has increased $11,795,101 during the report year and is now much above the present minimum requirement^ no rapid contraction of circulation need be apprehended. The limitation provided in the third proposition would in any event prevent a retirement beyond $3,000,000 per month. Such reduction as might otherwise take place would be neutralized for five months at least by the immediate additional issue of $15,211,385 under the second proposition. The reduction of-the semi-annual duty is both just and expedient. No adequate reason can be given for the taxation of a valueless and unwelcome franchise for the purpose of swelling redundant revenues. MONETARY STRINaENCY OF 1890o The previous report year, which ended E'ovember 1,1890, showed a comparatively smaU number of failures of national banking associations. Up to Midsummer of 1890 that year had been one of more than average business activity. I t was, however, apparent in the early Spring, to those who were most observant of passing events, that unfavorable conditions existed, the evil effects of which would appear in the near fnture. This aros"e from consideration of the fact that agricultural interests were in an unsatisfactory condition, and also that overtrading and unhealthful expansion were everywhere apparent. During the year the building of railroads had been prosecuted with unusual vigor, making necessary the placing of unusually large lines of securities. Immense sums heretofore available as loanable capital in the Eew England and Middle States had taken a fixed form by reason of investments in the Mississippi Valley and upon the Pacific coast in city and suburban property, in loans represented by farni niortgageSj and in the COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 325 stocks and bonds of unnumbered corporations organized for the pur: pose of conducting various kinds of manufacturing operations, and supplying water, light, and rapid transit to the inhabitants of the many rapidly growing cities and viUages in the. regions named. Not only did these enterprises attract capital from the Atlantic States, but EngHsh investors brought to this country vast sums for the purpose of grouping together and recapitalizing corporations engaged in manufacturing, industrial, and commercial pursuits. This unexampled movement of capital toward the West not only divested the Atlantic States in a large degree of the loanable funds heretofore available for the relief of those engaged there in manufacturing and in business in its various forms, but it also had its effect upon the West in unduly stimulating speculative operations in real estate and laying the groundwork for the fature collapse in prices which it was apparent must follow whenever the flow of money toward the field of these operations should for any cause be greatly diminished or entirely arrested. The various banking institutions located in the region of country affected by the speculative spirit thus incited becaine necessarily more or less involved in the operations of their local customers. They found themselves early in the Summer of 1890 carrying large lines of loans representing investments in various forms of corporate enterprises, which were in a large degree in untried fields and dependent for success upon the rapid growth of towns and cities, yet unrealized. The banks of the country were th'erefore in an unduly extended condition upon the approach of Midsummer, and dependent in many cases upon rediscounts with their correspondents in the reserve cities in-order to enable them to carry the heavy lines with which they were burdened. While in this condition the transfer of funds to this country from England and the Continent became at first greatly reduced in volume, and finally ceased. Not only was the supply of fresh funds from this source cut off, but it was discovered that during the late Spring and early Summer inonths, as weU as later on, vast amounts of American securities held abroad were forced upon the New York market by European holders for the purpose of preparing for a collapse which was expected to result from similar conditions of undue expansion existing abroad. The Continental countries had already passed through a period of liquidation and loss consequent upon the failure of the Panama Canal CoiJipany and the French Copper Syndicate. England, by reasort of unusually large investments in all parts of the world, and especially in the Argentine Eepublic, was gradually but surely approaching an excej)tionally severe monetary stringency. As an evidence of this and the consequent disposition to increase the stock of gold there held, in order to strengthen their cash resources, it is noted that during the months of June, July, and August of last year 43he net exportation from the United States of gold coin and bullion exceeded $14,000,000, and for the period extendingfrom January 1,1890, to August 31,1891, the net exportations of gold amounted to $75,405,613. W M e these causes were operating to prevent the necessary rehef from reaching us from Europe, the demands upon the banks in New York and other large reserve cities rapidly increased, producing a reduction in the amount of deposits and an increase in the amounts loaned to and rediscounted for the interior banks. The gross deposits of forty-six national banks in the city of New York show a falling off of $44,831,356 between the 28th of February and 17th 326 . REPORT ON THE FINANCES. of May, 1890; $13,519,527 of this representing a reduction in balances due to interior banks and those located in other reserve cities, while the reduction in loans and discounts was less than $10,000,000, The New York banks, however, were enabled to so strengthen their positions during the months of June and July tha.t the marked stringency was delayed untU August. I t culminated about the middle of November, when the failure of a leading firm of brokers, the embarrassment of one large State bank, and the failure of another occurred in New York, These events were simultaneous with the announcement of the embarrassment ofthe Baring Brothers, of London, and the fact that a syndicate had been formed, hea&ed by the Bank of England, through whose agency Baring Brothers' obligations were guaranteed to the extent of about $75,000,000. • • The unsatisfactory condition of monetary affairs in England, and the desire to be prepared for the effect of the announcement of the embarrassment of the Baring Brothers, induced the Bank of England to borrow £3,000,000 in gold from the Bank of France, in addition to £1,500,000 received, from Eussia upon sale of treasury bonds. This extraordinary transaction is an evidence of the serious character of the monetary stringency in England, aggravated by the unsatisfactory conditions apparent in almost every civilized country where English capital has heretofore found investment. Among the unfavorable conditions existing in our own country, in addition to the undue expansion and resulting speculative investments which have been heretofore noted, should be mentioned the greatly reduced yield last year of wheat, oats, and corn, and the low prices which prevailed for the same. I t is also to be observed that the importation of foreign commodities in 1890 exceeded in value that of any previous year. This was due, to some extent, to the passage of the new tariff act, which was made to take effeqt on the 6th of October, 1890, This undoubtedly greatly stimulated importations, in order that their arrival prior to the date mentioned might enable them to escape the higher rate of duty supposed to be imposed by the new act. To relieve this severe monetary stringency the Secretary of the Treasury increased his purchase of United States bonds to such an extent as to almost entirely exhaust the available surplus in the Treasury. During the three and one-third months from July 19 to November 1, 1890, over $99,000,000 were disbursed in payment for United States bonds and interest thereon. I t is apparent, however, that while the relief afforded was timely and the sums disbursed very large, the unfavorable and threatening conditions were caused to a greater degree by want of confidence and a curtailment of credits than by lack of circulating medium. That this large disbursement had the effect of allaying excitement and promoting a return of confidence on the part of the general public is no doubt true. As has been noted, the monetary stringency culminated on the 15th of November, 1890, and its effects within thirty days thereafter had to a considerable extent passed away, so far as could be observed in the larger cities. Its effect upon the country at large, however, stiU continued. Inability to place securities and to borrow money had arrested the opea*ations of a great multitude of corporations scattered all over the country^ and insolvency and failure had in a large number of cases ensuedo Where failure did not take place new work was stopped, all credits were curtailed, and business in its different forms became greatly depressed. The growth of cities and villages was in many COMPTROLLER Ol? THE CURRENCY. , ' S2t cases arrested, and the prices of city property, especially of a suburban character, became greatly reduced. Corporations newly organized, with insufficient capital and inexperienced management, generally became insolvent, and speculative operations of every kind and character were prostrated. Liquidation took place in all branches of business, resulting in the failure and extinction of a large number of business enterprises which were never entitled to credit and in the curtailment of the operations of many possessing ample capital and skillful management, The process of liquidation above referred to did not end with the monetary stringency in December, 1890, but has continued since that date, and its influences are still felt and its effects observed. The subject is here discussed because of its intimate connection with the bank failures of 1891. CLEARINa-HOUSE LOAN CERTIFICATES. The effect of a general monetary stringency is felt first and most seriously by banks located in the larger of the reserve cities. Whenever financial affairs are in a normal condition the surplus funds of the local banks find their way to the .vaults of their correspondent banks located in the great centers of business activity. This is undoubtedly due in part to the fact that these deposits may be made available for lawful money reserve and that a small rate of interest is, as a rule, paid upon bank balances by associations in the larger cities, and to the further fact that the maintenance of a good balance with their city correspondents strengthens the claim of the interior banks upon the former for rediscounts when the temporary condition of redundancy passes away and the increased demand for money is greater than the interior banks from their resources can conveniently supply. Thus it results that the wants of a continent in case of general depression are at last brought through various channels of business activity, by way of withdrawals or loans, to the bankers of the great metropolitan cities for relief, and they are presented in such a form, in many cases, as to preclude the possibility of refasal, if general bankruptcy is to be avoided. During the period of the stringency above discussed the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston were subjected to the most pressing demands, and after very careful consideration it was decided by the associated banks that the exigency made necessary a resort to the issuing of clearing-house loan certificates, for the purpose of settling clearing-house balances. This expedient had been successfully resorted to during the panics of 1873 and 1884. A t a meeting of the New York Clearing-House Association on the 11th day of November, 1890, the foUowing resolution was unanimously adopted: ^ Resolved, T h a t a committee of five be appointed by, the chair, of which t h e chairman shall be one, to receive from banks members of the association bills receivable and other securities, to be approved by said committee, who shall be authorized to issue therefor, to such depositing banks, loan certificates bearing inter-^ est at 6 per cent per annum, and in addition thereto a commission of one-quarter of 1 cent for every thirty days such certificates shall remain unpaid, and such loan certificates shall not be in excess of 75 per cent of the market value of the securities of bills receivable so deposited, and such certificates shall be received aaid paid in settlement of balances a t the cleariui? house. 328 * REPORT O'N T H E FINANCES. Under this resolution a committee °of five was appointed, and they proceeded, upon deposit of proper securities, to issue to applying banks loan certificates in the following form: No. •. $20,000 Loan committee of the New York Clearing-House Association, New York, —, 1890.

This certificate will be received in payment of balances at the clearing house for t h e sum of t w e n t y thousand dollars from any member of the Clearing-House Association, On t h e surrender of this certificate by the depositing bank above named t h e committee will indorse t h e amount as a payment on the obligation of said bank held by them, and surrender a proportionate share of the collateral securities held therefor, $20,000, Committee. These certificates were,, by unanimous agreement upon the part ot the clearing-house banks, accepted I n lieu of m.oney in the settlement of clearing-house balances, • In order to provide for the retirement of these securities in. case the . collaterals pledged were found insufficient, the several boards of directors of the associated banks were requested to, and did, pass a resolution in the following form: Besolved, That any loss resulting from the issue of loan certificates shall be borne by the banks comprising the Clearing-House Association pro r a t a of capital and surplus, and this resolution shall be ratified by the boards of the respective banks, members of the association, and a certified copy of such consent delivered to the chairman of the loan committee. This committee, acting under the authority granted b y t h e above resolution, issued to the associated banks loan certificates aggregating $16,645,000, The first issue was made November 12, 1890, and the entire issue was retired onFebruary 7,1891. The largest amount outstanding at any one time was $15,205,000, on the 13th of December, 1890, On the 17th of November, 1890, similar proceedings were had by the Boston Clearing-House Association, On that day, at a meeting-of the association, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Besolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the chair, of which committee t h e chairman shall also be a member, to receive from banks, members of the association, bills receivable and other securities, to be approved by said jcommittee, who shall be authorized to issue therefor, to such depositing banks, loan certificates bearing interest a t 7.3 per cent per annum, and such loan certificate shall not be in excess of 75 per cent o f t h e market value of t h e securities or bills receivable so deposited, and such certificates shall be received and paid in settlement of balances at the clearing house. It is observed also that the ultimate payment of the certificates, in case the pledged collaterals proved to be insufficient, was provided for through the ratification, bythe' boards of directors of the respective banks, of the following resolution passed by the Boston Clearing-House" Association at the meeting above noted: Besolved, That any losS'arising from the issue of loan certificates shall be borne by the banks comprising t h e Clearing-House Association pro rata, according to the average daily amount which each bank shall have sent to t h e clearing house during the preceding year. I t was also voted t h a t this resolution shall be ratified by the boards of directors of t h e respective banks, members of the association, and a certio fied copy of such consent delivered to the chairman o f t h e loan committee.

Committee. When a bank applied for and received loan certificates it was required to deposit the necessary securities and to also execute and deliver an obhgation, of which the following is a copy: The — Bank has this day received of, , loan committee of the Boston Clearing-House Association loan certificates issued by said committee in pursuance of a vote of said association, passed November 17, 1890, to the amount of -thousand dollars, and has deposited with said committee the securities, a statement whereof is hereto annexed, and said Bank receives said loan certificates on the terms set forth in said vote, and agrees to pay the amount of said certificates, with interest thereon, as provided in said vote. ^ Under the operation of the resolution of authority granted by the clearing-house coinmittee, as above noted, loan certificates were first issued on November 19,1890, and the last were is'sued on December 6, 1890. On the latter date the issue reached its maximum of $5,065,000. The last of the issue was retired on January 6, 1891. The Clearing-House Association of PhUadelphia took action on November 18, 1890, at which time, at a meeting of the Clearing-House Association, the following resolution was adopted: Besolved, That, in accordance with resolution of September 24, 1873, as amended October 18, 1873, the clearing-house committee wiU issue loan certificates to banks applying and receive them in payment of balances. The resolution of September 24,1873, as amended October 18, 1873, reads as follows: ^ F o r t h e purpose of enabling t h e banks, members o f t h e Philadelphia ClearingHouse Association, to aff'ord proper assistance to the mercantile and manufacturing community, and also to facilitate the inter-bank settlements resulting from their daily exchanges, we, the undersigned, do bind ourselves by the following agreement on t h e p a r t of our respective banks, viz: ^ First. That the clearing-house committee be, and they are hereby, authorized to issue to any bank member of the association loan certificates bearing 6 per cent interest on the deposits of bills receivable and other securities to such an amount and to such percentage thereof as may in their judgment be advisable. These certificates m a y b e used in settlement of balances at the clearinghouse, and they shall be received by creditor banks in the same proportion as they bear to the aggregate amount of t h e debtor balances paid at t h e clearing house. The interest t h a t may accrue upon these.certificates shall be apportioned monthly among • t h e banks which shall have held them during t h a t time. ' Second. The securities deposited with the said committee shall be held by them in t r u s t as a, special deposit, pledged for the redemption of the certificates issued thereupon, t h e same being accepted by the committee as collateral security, with t h e express condition t h a t neither the Clearing-House Association, the clearinghouse committee, nor any member thereof shall be responsible for any loss on said collaterals arising from failure to make demand and protest, or from any other neglept or omission, other than the refusal to take some reasonable step which the said depositing bank may have previously required in writing. 330 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. T h h d . On the surrender of such certificates, or any of them, by the^'depositing bank, t h e committee will indorse the amount as a payment on the obligation of said b a n k held by them, and will surrender a proportionate amount of securities, except in case of default of the bank in any of its transactions through the clearing house; in which case the securities w i i r b e applied by the committee, first, to the payment of outstanding certificates, with interest; next, to the liquidation of any indebtedness of such bank to the other banks, members of the Clearing-House Association. Fourth. The committee shall be authorized to exchange any portion of said securities for others, to be approved by them, and shall have power to demand additional security, a t their own discretion. Fifth. That the clearing-house committee be authorized to carry into full eff'ect this agreement, with power to establish such rules and regulations for the practical working thereof as they may deem necessary; and any loss caused by the non-payment of loan certificates shall be assessed by the committee upon all t h e banks in t h e ratio of capital. Sixth. The expenses incurred in carrying out this agreement shall be assessed upon the banks in equal proportion to their respective capital. Seventh. That the clearing-house committee be, and they are hereby, authorized to terminate this agreement upon giving t h i r t y days' notice thereof at any stated meeting of th^ Clearing-House Association, PHILAJDELPHIA, iVbvem&er 18, 1890. At a meeting o f t h e clearing-house committee, held this day, it was, on motion: Besolved, That in accordance with resolutions of September 24, 1873, as amended October 18, 1873, t h e clearing-house committee will issue loan certificates to banks applying, and receive them in payment of balances. The form of loan certificate issued by the Clearing-House Association of PhUadelphia is here given: ^ No.— o $5,000. Clearing-house committee o f t h e Philadelphia banks, Philadelphia, , 1891. ^ This certifies t h a t the Bank has deposited with this committee, securities in accordance with the agreement of a meetuig of b a n k offfcers held o September 24, 1873. This certificate will be received during the continuance of "^ said agreement and of any renewals of the same, in payment of balances at the ;§ clearing house, for the sum of five thousand dollars, only from a member of the °-g Clearing-House Association to whom the same may have been issued, or to whom g it may l5e indorsed by the manager of the clearing house. PI On the surrender of this certificate by the depositing bank above named the . g committee will indorse the amount as a payment on the obligation of said baiik ^ held by them, and surrender a proportionate amount Of the collateral securities except in case of default on t h e part of said b a n k in its transactions through the Clearing-House Association of Philadelphia. Committee. I t wiU be observed that the original agreement under which the committee proceeded in this case was adopted duriag the panic of 1873 and after that subsided no farther action was had under it until November, 1890, but-the machinery was kept standing, during the whole intervening period ready for immediate use whenever required. The clearing-house coinmittee having, by the agreement aforesaid, been authorized to issue loan certificates resolved, on November 5,1890, to exercise this power, whereupon the banks desiring to take out loan . certificates were required to adopt a resolution empowering the hypothecation of securities, under which the issue of loan certificates, signed by not less than three members of the committee, was commenced on November 19, 1890, and ceased on May 22, 1891, the total issue being $9,655,000, The maximum -issue, $8,870,000, was reached on January 9. The certificates have all been retired excepting $170^000 issued to the Keystone and Spring Garden National BankSo COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 331 DOMESTIC EXCHANGES. In his annual report for 1890 the Comptroller published certain data in relation tb domestic exchanges in. the United States, which exhibited the amounts of drafts drawn during the year fended June 30, 1890, (1) upon national and otlier banks ih the cities of New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, separately stated^ (2) upon banks located in other reserve cities, and (3) upon all other banks. Out of the 3,438 national banks in operation on the 30th day of Jnne, 1890, 3,329 famished the desired information. While the facts thus elicited attracted wide attention and proved valuable as illustrating the magnitude of the transactions Uquidated through transfers of bank credits, it feU short of aU that might be desired from the fact that drafts drawn upon reserve cities other than New York, Chicago, and St. Louis were not separately stated but were given in the aggregate only. I t was thought desirable to again call for this information for the purpose of instituting comparisons as between the operations of the two years, and also for the purpose of ascertaining the magnitude of the transactions with each of the reserve cities, to the end that simUar calls following this at suitable intervals might afford the means of ascertaining the relative growth of the banking operations of the several Teserve cities of the United States. For this purpose circular letters were addressed to each active bank in the system, and replies were received from 3,637, that being the number in operation on the .30th day of June, 1891, exclusive of 22 associations that drew no exchange. This cheerful cooperation on the part of every bank in the system is worthy of special commendation, as last year 109 banks faUed to make the necessary report. I o In comparisons made between the operations ofthe year ended June 30,1890, and the year ended June 30, 1891, it will be remembered that the former year covered thp operations of 3,329 banks, and the latter year 3,637 banks. The total amount of drafts drawn by these 3,637 associations during the year ended June 30,1891, was $12,782,212,495. We find thatof this amount there was drawn on New York $7,836,208,250, on Chicago $1,254,693,941, on St. Louis $237,908,010, and on other reserve cities ^3,101,005,735, and on all other banks and bankers $352,396,559. Among the other reserve cities Boston leads with $1,492,266,242, followed by Philadelphia with $541,333,463. From this statement it appears that of the* total sum 61.31 per cent was drawn on banks in the city of New York 5 9.82 per cent on Chicago; 1.86 per cent on St. Louis; 11.61 per cent on Boston, and 4.24 per cent on Philadelphia. The total sum drawn upon the reserve cities, excepting New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, was 24.25 ^ev cent and 2.76 per cent on banks.located elsewhere. 332 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

In order to facilitate a comx3arison between the operations of the year ended June 30,1890, and those of the year ended June 30,1891, the totals and percentages for the former year are included in the table. I t will be observed that in the total amount of drafts drawn there has been an increase in each of the three central reserve cities and in the amounts drawn upon all other reserve cities, but that the total of drafts drawp. upon all other banks has fallen off to a marked degree. I t wiU be noticed that the grand aggregate for all banks shows an increase of $1,231,314,240, being slightly in excess of 11 per cent. So far as the percentages show the relative importance of the several reserve cities the changes do not appear important. New York City, relatively, has slightly fallen off'while Chicago and St. Louis each show a slight increase iniDercentages. Other reserve cities have increased from 21.88 to 24.25 per cent, indicating the growing importance of the business tributary to the inland cities. 333 COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

JNTotwithstanding that the total amount of drafts drawn by the national banks of the United States during the year ended June 30,1891, shows a satisfactory increase over the operations of the year immediately preceding that under consideration, it should be remembered that the year ended June 30,1891, has been one of great depression on account of the monetary stringency which prevailed for the greater part of that period, and the consequent liquidations which have been in progress. While by far the larger part of the banking business is conducted through associations belonging to the national system, it is necessary to take into consideration the operations of banks other than national in order to arrive at a proper estimate of the magnitude of the business liquidated through the agency of the banking institutions of the country. In the collection of statistics required b y t h e statute the Comptroller has this year received reports from 4,342 corporations or firms other than national banks which do a commercial banking business, in whole or in part. Of these 2,572 are State banks, 171 loan and trust companies, 364 are savings banks having capital stock, and 1,235 are private bankers. These represent a capital of $356,749,315. If the domestic exchange drawn by these banking institutions bears the same relation to their capital stock as in the case of national banks,* it will be found that the amount of drafts drawn by banks and bankers other than national will amount to $6,743,157,040. In order td arrive at the grand total of domestic exchange drawn by all the banks»and bankers of the United States the following statement has been prepared, exhibiting the amounts of drafts drawn by— 3,637 national banks, official 4,342 State banks, private banks, etc Total ". $12,782,212,495 6,743,157,040 19,525,369,535. *Tbis appendix, wliich is omitted for want of space, wiU be found in the separate volumes of the Comptroller's report. . o Fl91—22 338 REPORT ON THE FINANCESo As there are many banks .other than national that do not report to the Comptroller of the Currency, with regard to which no statistics are accessible, it is probable that the amount estimated as drawn by these institutions in the above table is understated. The magnitude ofthe operations thus indicated illustrates how indispensable banks are to the safe and economical conduct of the busiaess of the country. This immense total of nearly $20,000,000,000 represents simply the net balances between various localities adjusted through the agency of banks, and bears a very small proportion to the gross transactions which are taking place between the banks and their customers. Some idea can be formed ofthe magnitude.of the total transactions of national banks by consideration of the fact that on the first day of July, 1890, the receipts by 3,364 national banks of the United States aggregated $421,824,726. If we take $421,000,000 as the average daily transactions of the national banks, and multiply this by 307 as the number of busiaess days in the year, it will be found that the total receipts of these banks for a single year would amount to $129,247,000,000, or a sum greatly in excess of the estimated value ot all the real and personal property of Great Britain and the United States combined. When we come to realize with what economy and safety this immense business is transacted the importAice of perpetuating and perfecting the national banking system can not fail to command attention. In another part of this report will be found a statement of the average annual losses by reason of the failure of national banks. When tins comparatively smaU loss is placed against the immense transactions which have taken place through these agencies the conspicuous fidelity of the associations constituting the system must be recognized by every impartial observer. EXAMINATIONS. The national-bank act was perfected with great care, and in its provisions were embodied all those salutary restraints which previous legislation and the banking experience of the world for many centuries had demonstrated to be conducive to the safe and successful conduct of banks organized for commercial business. The wisdom of those who were responsible for its preparation has been vindicated by the unexampled success which has attended banks organized under it during the past twenty-nine years. No system has ever issued notes circulating at par over so wide an area of country, absolutely without loss to holders; nor has any other afiorded such complete security to depositors and creditors. The administration of this act was committed to a Bureau of which the Comptroller of the Currency is the chief officer, and all the provisions incident to the organization, supervision, and closing of associatibns are designed to be executed through the operation of the agency so created. The duties of the Comptroller of the Currency, as the chief executive officer, are set fol?th with great clearnesiS and particularity. So far as the proceedings incident to the orgaiiization of new associations are concerned, up tp and including the certificate authorizing them to begin business, they are so conducted as to make it possible for the Comptroller to personally supervise the details and see that the law is obeyed. I t is impossible, however, for him to personally visit the various associations after organization is completed and ascertain for himself that COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 339 the, conduct of their aflairs is in every particular in conformity with law. His information in relation to matters incident to the internal management of a bank reaches him through two channels. First, through what are known as ^ reports of condition,'' which are required ^ to be made by each association, upon call of the Comptroller, for some past date, at least five times a year, and, secondly, through reports made by nationalbank examiners. Eeports of. condition are made upon the oath or affirmation of the president or cashier, attested by at least three directors, and are required to be published in some newspaper issued in the locality where the bank is situated. The report prepared in these cases is substantially a trial balance from the general ledger, under such classifications as the Comptroller directs, showing in detail the entire resources of the association upon the one hand, and its entire liabilities upon the other. If correctly and honestly made, these published reports afford to the shareholders and creditors of the association an opportunity to form a reasonably ^correct judgment as to its solvency, its earnings, and the value of its shares. Certain schedules accompany these reports, which are designed to disclose such facts as wiU indicate whether or not any provision of the national-bank act has been violated. This system of reports, especially so far as it applies to banks under honest management, is no" doubt to a certain degree effective in preventing unwise and unlawful acts on the part of those directly charged with the management. As severe penalties are imposed upon any officer or employe who makes or aids or abets others in making any false, report or statement of the association with intent to defraud or deceive, even those whose honesty may be brought in question are constrained through fear to make truthful reports. I t sometimes occurs, however, that banks fall under the management of those who are utterly wanting in integrity and are undeterred by the penalties of the law. Occasionally the active officers of the bank enter into such collusion as renders it comparatively safe, in their opinion, to make reports which are designed to cover up unlawful practices, and to either overstate the value of the bank's resources, or understate its liabilities, so that the published report thus made serves to grossly deceive those for whose benefit the IDublication has been wisely ordered. As banks under honest management are usually conducted in obedience to law, it is clear that the value of governmental supervision is determined by the success it may achieve in ascertaining facts hidden from view by bank managers whose purpose it is to keep from thek:nowledge of the Comptroller conditions which might involve impairment of capital, insolvency, or criminality. The agency provided by law for ascertaining with greater certainty the condition of these associations is through the periodical visits of examiners appointed for the purpose. The authority for the appointment of national-bank examiners is found in section 5240 of the Kevised Statutes of the United States, wherein jt is provided that— The Comptroller, w i t h t h e approval of the Secretary: of the Treasury, shall, as often as shall be deemed necessary qr proper, appoint a suitable person or persons to make an examination of the affairs of every b a n k i n g association, who shall have poAver to make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the association, and, in doing so, to examine any of the officers and agents thereof on oath; and shall make a full and detailed report of the condition of the association to the Comptroller. This brief paragraph contains the only pro^dsion of law for the appointment of national-bank examiners, and is the only place where 340 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. his rights, powers, and duties are set fortho I t is apparent that these examiners were to be the confidential agents of the Comptroller, and as such to have such duties and to exercise such powers, within the law, as the Comptroller might from time to time direct. . ', As has been said, these examiners have always been regarded as the confidential agents of the Comptroller, and the various communications and reports transmitted by them to him have always been considered as confidential and privilegedo The relations existing between the Comptroller and his examiners is of such a character, that they must necessarily possess his'entire confidence. Any information which might lead him to entertain a reasonable doubt as to the skiU or integrity of an examiner would make it- his duty to iinmediately suspend him, even though the information might be of such a character as could not be substantiated by competent proof, or of such a confidential nature as would make it necessary for the Comptroller to withhold the character of the charges from the examiner himself. The Comptroller would be derehct in duty who • would continue to employ the services of an examiner'who had so conducted himself as to impair that complete confidence which must from the necessities of the case exist on the part of his superior officer. • Inasmuch as the original purpose of those who framed the nationalbank act was to make a market for the securities of the United States, to provide notes for circulation, and to create fiscal agencies for the service of the C-overnment, it is fair to presume that they had in view such an examination as would enable the Comptroller to ascertain whether or not the various provisions of law had been complied'with, and to see that the interests of the Government were protected, so far as they were involved in deposits of public moneys or the issuing of cir. culating notes. Among other requirements the national-bank act provides that the capital stock of an association shall be fully paid in cash, and that each director shall be a citizen of the United States and the bona fide owner of at least ten shares ofthe capital stock; that loans shall be made only on personal security; that real estate, when lawfally held, shall be disposed of within the period of five years; that a list of shareholders shall becorrectly prepared and.kept subject to the inspection of creditors and shareholders; that a reserve of lawful money shall be held' against deposits; that dividends shaU not be made until earned; that'loans to any one person, corporation, or firm shall not exceed in amount 10 per cent of the capital paid in; that the liabilities of the association under section 5202 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States shall not exceed the amount of its capital stock actually paid in; that checks shall not be certified in excess of the drawer's deposit, and that loans shall not be made while the lawful money reserve is deficient. ' I t would seem to be the duty'of an examiner in making an official visit to an association to ascertain whether or hot these requirements had been fally compMed with and to report any disobedience of these provisions of law brought to Ms attention. He is also exgected upon occasion to ascertain and report to the Comptroller as to whether or ' not the latter can properly approve a proposed increase or reduction of capital, and as to the propriety of permitting an association desiring to do so to extend its corporate existence or go into voluntary liquidation. Inasmuch as the Comptroller is authorized to require any association whose capital becomes impaired to pay the deficiency by assessment upon its shareholders and to appoint a receiver to close up its business in case it fails to make good its capital within three months after being COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. ' 341 notified so to do, and inasmuch as the Comptroller is ftirther authorized to appoint a receiver for any association which he shall become satisfied is insolvent, it would appear to be the duty of an examiner to not only ascertain but verify the liabilities and resources of an association and make such an estimate of the value of the latter as wiU enable the Comptroller upon his report to determine with reasonable certainty whether or not impairment of capitalor insolvency exists. So far as can be deduced fr'om the provisions of the act under which national-banking associations are organized and operated, an examin- ^ er's duties are above substantially set forth. In the letter of instructions addressed to examiners, and upon the blank reports furnished for their use are found directions covering the requirements of the law as above expressed. Much, however, must be left to the discretion and intelligence ofthe examiner himself. 'No cast-iron rules, covering minute details, can be issued to examiners as a class, for the reason that what would be practicable, proper, and necessary in the case of a small bank located in some obscure hamlet, would not be applicable in the case of a large association in a central reserve city. As a rule examiners find the greatest difficulty in so directing their efforts as to ascertain whether or not impairment or insolvency exists. They are directed to verify every credit and debt balance, to personally count the cash, and to list and verify the loans and discounts and other assets of the association. This verification can not, of course, be exhaustive, for the reason that the compensation awarded examiners by law would not cover the time necessarily employed to this end. l^ov would national banks, as a class, be willing to surrender their books and suffer interference with their business for a sufficient length of time to perniit the examiner to make a complete audit of their affairs, even if they were willing to submit to the expense necessarily attending it. The liabilities of a bank are represented to a large extent by pass books in the hands of a multitude of depositors, by drafts issued to a large nuniber of purchasers and by them transmitted to distant points, a large amount (several days' issue at least) always being in transit and unpaid; in certificates of deposit and other like evidences of indebtedness held by persons unknown and inaccessible to the examiner, in balances due to other banks, and in bills payable and rediscounts, usually in the hands of distant correspondents of the association. I t is obvious, therefore, that it would be absolutely impracticable for the exaininer to make such a complete verification as would demonstrate beyond question that the entries stating these habilities upon the books of the bank precisely correspond with the amounts represented by these various evidences of indebtedness. Some of these accounts may in a certain degree be verified by correspondence with the distant creditors, but to call in all the pass books, certificates of deposit, and drafts in transit would be obviously impracticable. The examinations, and reports based thereon, have undergone a gradual process of evolution during the more than quarter of a century that the national-banking system has been in existence. From year to year the attention of .the Comptroller has been called to new and novel devices adopted by those who sought to cover up their criminality or prevent the discovery of serious losses. This has led to increased vigilance upon the part of examiners and to the adoption of such measures as would, so far as possible, prevent the success of such devices in the fature. So, under the exigencies of the service the scope and details of examinations have undergone gradual transforma 342 * REPORT ON THE FINANCES. tion and enlargement, making them more and more effective and valuable as the age of the system and experience in the wiles of dishonest bank officials increase. The small losses suffered by creditors of national banks in the past have led some part of the general public to feel that governmental supervision should be of such a character as to absolutely prevent these associations from becoming insolvent, and that in case such failures occur those charged with the administration of the law are necessarily derelict in duty. I t is apparent, however, that such is very far from being the case. I t will be observed that the duties of the Comptroller, and in some sense the examiners, are largely negative; that the law consists in large part of necessary limitations and restrictions upon the operations of the associations organized under its authority. The Comptroller is therefore mainly charged with the responsibility of indicating to bank managers what they shall not do. The affairs of each association are, however, wisely placed under the control of a board of directors elected by the shareholders, which is alone vested with the power to direct its management. I t is apparent that it would be impracticable for any Bureau of the General Government to undertake to participate to any degree in the receiving of deposits, in the making of loans, and in the thousand details incident to the management of each particular bank. I t w^ould be in the highest degree unfortunate and unwise for the Government to attempt to usurp in any manner the duties which are and must be devolved upon the representatives of the shareholders of the various banks — upon its directors and officers. That the limitations and restraints imposed by the national-bank act, supplemented by the periodical reports required and published, have done much to promote the success of the banks constituting the national system, and the security ofthe various creditors is demonstrated by its history. I t is, however, indisputable, and conceded by all those informed as to the facts, that the system of examinations provided fbr in the brief paragraph quoted at the beginning of this article is of paramount importance and absolutely indispensable to the conspicuous success which has attended the operations of these associations from the inauguration of the system. The officers directly in charge of the various banks and the employes to whom are committed the details' incident to the proper conduct of the business, are actuated by the same motives which inspire humanity generally and are subject to the same temptations and the same ambitions. In the opinion of the Comptroller, every such officer and employe will admit that the expected visit of a skilled examiner Avho is to inspect and criticise the work upon which he is engaged incites him to greater diligence, promptness, and accuracy, tends to deter him from entering upon operations inconsistent with good banking, and strengthens him in his efforts to overcome those temptations to disobey the law wliich come to every bank manager through the pressure -ol ' customers in the most varied and insidious forms. That the visits of an examiner should be always welcome to those in charge of a bank is not to be expected.. Those, however, who are conscious of having discharged their duties with fidelity and abiUty gladly welcome the inspection of an expert who can properly appreciate the results of their faithfalness. The officer in charge who earnestly desires an honorable and successful career will gladly accept the services of one who can aid him in verifying the various accounts of the bank and in estabhshing the fidelity and abihty of those subordinates who are en COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 343 trusted with the details of business. The directors of any association who are disposed to fulfill the important duties imposed by law and to merit the confidence reposed in them by their shareholders, hail with pleasure the visit of one whose sole object is to reinforce their efforts to contribute t o t h e safety and success o f t h e institution which has been committed to theic care and direction. Unfortunately dereliction of duty on the part of directors is the chiet cause of failure upon the part of corporations generally and of national banks particularly. I t is this inattention to duty upon the part of those chosen to represent the shareholders in the management of national banks which has made the visits of the examiner an absolute necessity. I t has become a habit on the part of the general public whenever the failure of a national bank occurs to at once challenge, the integrity or skill of the examiner charged with its supervision, oblivious of the fact that his energy, his experience, and his devotion to duty may have prevented the failure of a score^of more or less embarrassed institutions as to whose mismanagement they are of necessity entirely uninformed. The bank examiner as a rule faithfully discharges his duty. Every disobedience of law, and everything indicating impairment of capital, insolvency, or criminality are in most instances faithfrilly reported to the Comptroller of the Currency. In every such case the Comptroller iapplies the remedy named in the law. -If the report indicates a minor disobedience of law or of the rules of sound banking, caution or reproof is administered. If impairment of capital is indicated he immediately issues a notification that it be made good by assessment upon the shareholders. In case insolvency is shown to his satisfaction a receiver is appointed. The great service performed through the agency of bank examiners consists largely, however, in meeting dangerous and unlawfal practices at the threshold. The number of cases of this kind which have been arrested at the beginning, and severe loss, if not insolvency, prevented by the prompt and timely action of bank examiners is very great, although necessarily unknown to the general pubhc, and hence unappreciated by those whose interests have been protected. The Comx)troller feels the need continually of one or more supervising examiners of approved skill and unquestioned integrity who might visit the various examiners in the field and bring the work into greater uniformity and in many ways increase its efficiency. Although the instructions are explicit and the blanks so arranged as to constantly remind these officers of what a complete examination should consist, yet the Comptrollero can not always feel assured that these are fully understood and faithfully obeyed. And, again, when failures multiply and exigencies arise making extra precautions necessary, the services of one or more conspicuously capable examiners who are not permanently assigned to any particulary district would be invaluable. The Comptroller also calls attention to the fact that assista-nt examiners are needed in all the large cities, and that no such office now exists. He therefore recommends that the law be so amended as to provide for the appointment of not more than three supervising examiners Avho shall receive an annual salary to be paid from the public funds; that the Comptroller be empowered to appoint as many assistant examiners as may in his judgment be necessary, to be paid such compensation as maybe fixed bythe Comx3troller from,the fees of the examiners by whom they are employed. 344 REPORT ON THE F.INANCES. That each supervising examiner, examiner, and assistant examiner be reqmred to take an oath before entering upon the discharge of his duties, and also to give bonds in such amount and with such sureties as may be satisfactory to the Comptroller. C E R T I F I C A T E S O F STOCK. Section 5139 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States provides that ^^The capital stock of each association shall be divided into shares of one hundred dollars each, and be deemed personal property, and transferable on the books of the association in such manner as may be prescribed in the by-laws or articles of association." The reports of examiners indicate that too little care is taken in the transfer of stock and in the issuing of certificates. In many cases boards of directors neglect to prescribe in the by-laws the manner in which the transfers are to be made, and, as a rule, the articles of association are silent upon the subject. o . In other instances the by-laws set forth in general terms the manner in which such transfers shall be effected, but it is frequently found that they are not obeyed, and that the transfers are of a very irregular character, and in many cases not lawfully executed. In some banks no stock ledger is found; in others, certificates are signed in blank and left for some subordinate to fill out and deliver when occasion shall require. In other banks certificates surrendered for transfer are not properly cancelled and preserved, and in newly organized banks they are occasionally issued to shareholders prior to their having paid in fall for the same. Where banks are increasing their capital, certificates are sometimes issued before the increase has been submitted to and approved by the Comptroller, These are a few examples of irregular practices on the part of banks which have been brought to the attention of the Comptroller by recent examinations. The shareholders of national banks are its proprietors and the certificates of stock issued to them are the evidence of their proprietorship. The importance of preserving the record of such ownership is evidently not sufficiently appreciated. While it is true that overissues of stock are comparatively inft'equent it is nevertheless the fact that examiners often find difficulty in verifying trial balances taken from stock ledgers. While in most cases this is simply an evidence of carelessness and lack of system, yet, the exaininer can not always be sure that the future may not^develop that a more serious condition exists." One remedy suggested for this state of things is t h a t aU transfers of stock be registered by a corporation acting in the" capacity of an agent for that purpose, This is a very valuable safeguard, aud is comparatively convenient and inexpensive for banks situated in large cities. This plan is certainly worthy of investigation by all boards of directors, and it is recommended to their favorable consideration. The added value attached to shares by reason of this registration would, in the opinion of the Comptroller, exceed the slight cost which such registration would involve. As the system is, however, largely composed of banks with small capital, located outside of the larger cities, in a great majority of cases this plan would not be deemed feasible, and therefore the remedy, so far as it applies to the system generally, must be found in the greater care and activity of the directors of the several associations. They should first see that proper by-laws regulating the transfer of shares are adopted. Proper books should be famished for recording the transfer of shares, in accordance with the terms of the by-laws, and COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 345 pro^dsion made for the fr^equent examination of the certificate book, stock ledger, and transfer book by a committee charged with this special duty. The signing of certificates in blank should be forbidden, and great care should be exercised in the cancellation and preservation of surrendered certificates. As it is important in the enforcement of the individual liability of shareholders in the case of insolvent banks whose assets prove insufficient to pay their debts that the question of proprietorship , should be definitely determined, it is recommended that a receipt be taken from each shareholder upon delivery to him of the certificate representing the stock of which he is the owner. O F F I C E R S A N D D I R E C T O R S AS B O R R O W E R S . While the failures of the year just closed have been in large part due to well-defined causes, which have been operating with morr. or less severity in aU parts of the civilized world, supplemented by the local influences to which allusion has been made, it is evident that some features of the morp important ones are suggestive of needed changes in the national-bank act. In almost every instance an investigation of the affairs of an insolvent bank discloses the fact that the officers and directors have too freely used the funds of the association for their own purposes, either ih a l^wfal or unlawful manner. The facility with which the active officers of a bank may borrow its funds seems to make it necessary that some added restriction should be placed upon transactions of this kind. In the organization of a national bank those who contribute the funds which constitute its capital should dedicate the same to the business of bankiDg,and notto the creation of an instrumentality through which they may proceed to borrow to an amount largely in excess of the sum contributed by them to the original capital. The principal limitation as to loans and discounts is found in section 5200 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States, which reads as follows: The total liabilities to any association, of any person, or of any company, corporation, or firm, for money borrowed, including in the liabilities of a company or firm the liabilities of the several members thereof, shall at no time exceed one-tenth p a r t of the amount of the capital stock of such association actually paid in. But the discount of bills of exchange drawn in good faith against actually existing values, and the discount of commercial or business paper actually owned by the person negotiating t h e same, shall not be considered as money borrowed. This limitation is found to be wholesome in its general application, but recent events indicate that additional safeguards are needed. In my opinion some hmitation should be placed upon the amount of commercial or business paper which may be discounted by an association for any person, company, corporation, or firm, and a similar restriction should be placed upon indirect habihties resulting fr'om guaranty or endoi'sement. If it is deemed necessary to limit direct loans to 10 per cent of the capital paid in it would for the same reason follow that indirect liabilities should be subject to some limitation. Just what the extent of the restrictions should be is not so easily determined, but, in my judgment, the direct and indirect liabilities, in the case.of a director, should not exceed 20 per cent of the capital paid in. The ai3tive officers of the bank, who are charged with the custody of its assets and the handling of its funds, should not, in my opinion, be permitted to appear as borrowers or become in any way liable to the association with which they are connected. While this might work hardship in exceptional cases it would without doubt add greatly to the se 346 . REPORT ON THE .FINANCES. curity of the creditors ofthe banks as a whole.' I t would be unwise to forbid an. association to loan to or discount for its several directors, as they are usually selected from among the leading men in the various branches of buvSiness, for the reason that they possess information which is of great value in passing upon paper offered by those engaged in^ the same line of trade with themselves. There seems to be no serious objection, however, to placing someliinit upon their indirect as well as direct liabilities. The Comptroller, therefore, takes this opportunity to recommend that the active officers of a bank be excluded from incurring liabilities to the association with which they are connected, and that the direct and indirect liabilities of a director be confined to 20 per cent of the paid-up capital, leaving the limitations contained in section 5200 United States EjBvised Statutes intact. The Comptroller is also of opinion that the publication of the liabilities of officers and directors would afford a valuable safeguard. The Comptroller also desires to call attention to the fact that no suitable penalty is provided by law for violations of section 5200 United States Eevised Statutes. Aside from the power to brings suit for forfeiture of franchise under the general provisions of law laying the groundwork for enforcing the liability of directors, the Comptroller is without the power to enforce obedience to the hmitations of the section quoted. The remedy provided is so severe.as to make it entirely useless, no Comptroller having ever brought suit to forfeit the franchise of an active bank. The reason for this is obvious, as such a proceeding would destroy the bank, thereby greatly aggravating instead of affording a remedy for the evil complained of. The Comj^troller should be empowered by law to inflict such a penalty, by way of fine or assessment, as would make excessive loans highly unprofitable, and yet not so severe as to prevent its being promptly and invariably imposed in every case brought to his notice. BONDS OF BANK OFFICERS. Circumstances attending recent failures have served to call the attention of the Comptroller to the fact that much greater, care should be exercised by boards of directors in the matter of the official bonds of the officers and employes of their several banks. The general verdict of those most experienced in the management of banks is in favor of requiring official bonds from all who occupy places of trust, and especially those who handle cash or convertible securities. Under the national-bank act it is left discretionary with boards of directors whether or not they shall require official bonds. This matter should be taken up, fully discussed, and definitely decided by each board of directors. ^ At the time of organization the matter usually has attention and certain requirements are decided upon but are inefficiently carried out. Frequently the by-laws of an association contain all that is necessary in relation to bonds, but the reports of bank examiners disclose the fact that these by-laws often become obsolete by reason of inattention to their enforcement. There are various phases of this subject which should be considered by those responsible for the management of a bank. In the first place it is necessary that the board of directors should decide as to the particular officers and employes who shall give official bonds and determine upon the amount in each case. Ordinarily this covers the entire action ofthe board in relation to the matter. This,, however, does not consti- ' COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. ^ » 347 tute the full measure of their duty. Great care should be'taken in preparing the form of the bond required so that in case it becomes forfeited the penalty can be enforced. ISTot only should the form of the bond have careful attention but its terms should be such as to cover not only criminal acts but such as involve a lack of due diligence on the part of the officers or employ6s. Ih this connection it is proper to say that the Comptroller is in receipt of information, from *a source which entitles it to the highest consideration, that bonds are habitually offered and frequently accepted which guarantee the bank only against such misconduct of the officer as amounts to embezzlement or larceny and do not secure it against gross carelessness or against connivance at or the overlooking of its spoliation by others. This warning should be heeded and every board of directors should promptly order an examination of all official bonds in their custody by ^competent counsel so that their bank may not suffer thrd'ugh their neglect when an exigency arises. Again, it is important that the sureties should be of such a character as to insure the collection of the penalty in case of forfeiture. If the surety is an incorporated company, as is common now, its solvency should be fally ascertained, and the necessary information procured as to its right to enter into such a contract under its charter. I t is also important that this class of bonds should be examined with especial care as to whether they are broad enough in their terms to properly protect the bank in case ofthe unfaithfalness ofthe principal. In case natural persons are accepted as surety similar care should be exercised. ISTo one should be acceiDted as surety upon such„a bond whose rcvsponsibility for the penalty is not fally established. In addition to this it is well to reject all those who are not of such high character and established integrity as to unhesitatingly meet any losses which may occur, regarding it as a moral as well as a legal obligation. I t is quite fr-equently the case that a bond prepared and executed, with satisfactory sureties, is found in the custody of or accessible to the identical oificer for whose faithfnl performance of duty it is tlie bank's only security. I t is the duty of every board of directors to see that the custody of these boujds is committed to those who can have no interest in their becoming mislaid or destroyed, and w;ho will faithfully keei) and produce them when wanted. The bond having been properly prepared and executed, signed by sureties known to be responsible and deposited in secure hands, it remains for the board of directors to make a periodical examination in order that their existence and safety maybe verified, and for the farther purpose of ascertaining that the security once deemed satisfactory has not become impaired by death, removal, insolvency, or some other cause which would put the interests of the bank in jeopardy. A t the regular annual visit of the examiner inquiry is made as to whether the by-laws require official bonds, and if so whether or not they havebeen executed in accordance therewith, and also as to their custody. He is instructed to call the attention of officers to any circumstances developed by his examination which would tend to impair the security of the association. His suggestions in relation to this matter, however, are usually necessarily made to the active officers of the bank, who are the identical persons from whom official bonds are required. I t is often impracticable for him to call the attention of the board of directors of the bank to the necessity for the desired action in a given case. The danger lurking here is greatly aggravated by the fact that, as a rule, the active officers possess the unbounded confidence of the board 348 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES, of directors, and this confidence generally remains unshaken until the commission of some aCct which makes necessary a resort to the sureties upon the official bond. Unless the precautions above alluded to have had attention prior to the discovery of the unfaithfalness of the trusted officer or employ6 the directors awaken too late to the fact that they have been derelict in diityo CLOSED NATIONAL BANKS.

A conspicuous feature of the operations of this Bureau for the report year has been the resumption of business by banks which had voluntarily closed their doors to business, -' Ordinarily the closing of a national bank serves to so greatly impair its credit as to render its resuscitation both imjiracticable and undesirable. In most cases the dishonesty or mismanagement which necessitates the closing of its doors causes such an impairment of confidence as to prevent the bank, even under new and competent management, from regaining its former position and securing the necessary support from the general public. Ordinarily it is deemed better to organize a new association, with ah entirely new title, than to endeavor to reopen one which has been closed. Occasionally, however, it occurs that the closing of a bank may result from causes which neither seriously affect its credit nor greatly impair its capital. In .some such cases the confidence of the community is not withdrawn, and the good wiU of the association, which may have had a long and honorable career, is deemed by its shareholders worthy of preservation. It has been the policy of the Comptroller in every such case to encourage the adoption of measures that would enable him to withdraw the examiner or receiver and permit the bank to resume business at as early a date as possible. He has, however, invariably made it a condition precedent that the affairs of the association should be put in a satisfactory condition. This Avould imply that its capital should be unimpaired, that its cash should be substantially equal to its demand liabilities, and that all doubtfal and worthless assets should be eliminated 5 that all its aff'airs should be placed in strict compliance with law and such changes made in its board of directors and officers as would exclude those who had been guilty .of mismanagiag its affairs, and generally such measures enforced as would insure a prudent, conservative, and law-abiding course in the fature. This pohcy has only been adopted in cases where the^Comptroller was led to beheve that the conditions were, to :a'marked degree, favorable to a successfal faturci career, ° • The failure of a bank is always a calamity, even where the assets of the failed institution are sufficient to ultimately pay in fall its liabilities. The delay necessarily incident to converting these assets into'cash and dividing them among the several claimants is the cause of much inconvenience and loss to a large number of depositors, A national bank is organized for the purpose of conducting a commercial business, and is ordinarily the depositary for the current cash receipts of persons engaged in every form of manufacturing, industrial, and commercial business. Most of these enterprises are conducted with capital barely sufficient to form a basis of "credit, the latter being mainly relied upon and of, by far, the greater importance,. Every such firm engaged in business is hable to have its credit destroyed bythe locking up of its cash resources, resulting in the dishonoring of its paper and subsequent failure. All classes; however, are represented among the creditors of these insolvent banks. The desire to find a safe»dei30sitory for funds temporarily idle moves aU alike. The rich and the poor, young and old, capitalist and laborer, all appear as claimants. An investigation of the affairs of an insolvent bank invariably discloses cases of x)eculiar hardship and frequently brings to light such misfortunes as are calculated to arouse the sympathies of the most in° 351 COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. different. I t is therefore a matter of great importance to the creditors of a failed association that their balances be made available at the earhest d^te practicable. ]N:ot only are the creditors of a failed association greatly benefited by its being speedily reopened for business but shareholders also, for it is a well-established fact that the assets of such an association are much more valuable to it as an active bank than if in liquidation or in the hands of-a receiver. ' . As a result of the pohcy outlined above six national banks, which closed their doors to business, possessing an aggregate capital of. $2,225,000 and having liabilities amounting to $3,756,362, have been permitted to resume business since the 1st day of January, 1891. One other bank, closed by order of the Comptroller, having a capital of $300,000 and liabilities amounting to $622,221, was permitted to go into voluntary liquidation, the directors and principal shareholders of the bank having provided the necessary funds to meet all habilities. The following table gives the title of these banks, date of closing, date of resumption, and amount of capital and liabihties. P E R M I T T E D TO R E S U M E BUSINESS.

Of these banks the INTewton National Bank of ISTewton, Kans., and the Farmers and Merchants' l^ational Bank of Clarksville, Tenn., were in the hands of receivers. In the other cases no receiver had been appointed, a bank examiner being in charge between the date of closing and reopening of the bank for business. * In each of the cases above mentioned the banks when reopened were reported by the officer in charge to possess an unimpaired capital, cash in hand sufficient to meet all demand habihties, and under such management as gave reasonable assurance of an honorable and successfal career. All these banks are still in operation, having promptly met all their obligations according to their terms, excepting the Washington ISTational Bank of New York, which was permitted to go into voluntary liquidation and has paid in fall all liabilities. So far as the Comptroller is informed the records ofthe Department disclose but one case in the history of the system prior to 1891 where a bank once placed in the hands of a receiver was permitted to reopen. I t is hoped and believed that the fature success of these banks will be such as to warrant the Comptroller in continuing a policy which has led to their rehabilitation. 352 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The holdings in bonds have decreased from $440,380,350 to $174,907,550, but on April 4, 1879, an intermediate period, the banks held $712,437,900. The specie held by the banks on January 1, 1866, amoanted to $16,909,363, was only $8,050,330 in 1875, and amounted to $183,515,076 on September 25, 1891, which was a falling off of more than $12,000,000 since October 2, 1890, on which date the highest point was reached. The following comparative statement gives the percentages of loans and discounts, IJnited States bonds, and specie to the entire fund with Avhichthe banks do business, which is made up of capital, surplus, undivided profits, circulation,-and deposits.

CIRCULATING NOTES. The actual circulation outstanding on September 25, 1891, for which the banks were responsible Avas $134,897,243, this amount being exclusive of $37,002,875 also in circulation but represented by lawful money deposited by the banks for redemption purposes whenever the notes are received by the Treasurer. The minimum deposit of the bonds required of the 3,677 national banks in operation September 25,1891, was $104,933,987, upon which only $94,440,589 of national-bank circulation could be issued. These banks held, on September 25, $150,035,600 of bonds, and were actually responsible for $40,456,654 of circulation more than the minimum. Some banks do not take circulation. / Ofthe 3,677 banks 2,651 have a capital not exceeding $150,000 nor less than $50,000 each, which is the lowest amount any bank in the system may have, the aggregate capital amounting to $214,126,010. The remaining 1,026 have a capital of over $150,000 each, the aggregate amounting to $463,300,860. If an amount of bonds equal to the total capital were deposited to secure circulation the whole body of banks might have a circulation amounting to $609,684,183, or $515,243,594 more than the present minimum. A table in the Appendix,* page 141, shows, by States and geographical divisions, this information in detail. * See foot note, p . 337. 358 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

Of the 239 banks organized during the past fiscal year 143 have a capital of $50,000 eaph," amounting tb $7,150,000; 56 have a capital of over. $50,000 and not exceeding $150,000, aggregating $5,280,000, and 40 have an aggregate capital of $15,250,000. The 40 largest banks deposited the exact amount of bonds required by law, and of the remaining 199 banks only 4 deposited bonds in excess of the requirement. j^otAvithstanding the continuous accession of HCA^ banks to the system, more than counterbalancing the number which fail or are placed in voluntary hquidation from year to year, the outstanding circulation steadily decreases. The anomaly, however, is presented, as a result of operations during the past year, of an increased circulation for which the banks are responsible. This increase amounted to $9,720,287, and was caused by the organization of new banks and additional deposits of bon4s by banks' already organized. The aggregate outstanding circulation, however, was reduced by the redemption of $19,400,679, for which laAv^ful money had been deposited, leaving a net decrease of $9,680,392. By referring to page 366 it will be observed that the total withdrawal of bonds, for transfer to the Secretary for purchase or redemption, amounted to $32,378,800, nearly the whole amount being substituted by other bonds. The following table shows by comparison for eight years the amounts of lawful money deposited and the consequent decrease of circulation: DECREASE OF NATIONAL-BANK CIRCULATION DURING EACH OF THE YEARS E N D E D OCTOBER 31, FROM 1884 TO 1891, INCLUSIVE, AND THE AMOUNT OF LAAVFUL M O N E Y ON D E P O S I T AT THE E N D OF E A C H Y E A R .

MARKET PRICES OF UNITED STATES BONDS. The investment value of United States l)onds increases as the relative tnarket price of such bonds declines. The 4J percents matured September 2, 1891, and it wiU be observed that the market price declined very regularly up to date of maturity. The fluctuation in prices of 4 percents was not considerable, the decline, however, being about double that during the previous year.

During the past report year, the purchase of 4 per cents was discontinued by the Government in the month of January, the total purchases amounting to $8,645,850. Under Treasury circular dated October 9, ^ 1890, the redemption of 4J per cents commenced, interest being added to the face of the bond up to and including August 31, 1891. Under the various circulars issued, the total redemptions of 4J per cents amounted to $33,966,150, and the total purchased and redeemed of both classes to $42,612,000. The total purchases and redemption of these two classes of bonds amounted to $373,484,150 since the issue of circular dated April 17,1888. Circular dated July 2,1891, provided that any of the 4J per cents theretofore called for redemi>tion might be presented for continuance during the pleasure of the Government, with interest at the rate of 2 per centum xier annum, in lieu of redemption.. A subsequent circular extended the time for presentation for continuance to Seiitember 30. The amount of bonds so continued was $25,364,500. On November 1, there Avere $4,601,500 of this class of l3onds which had not been presented for redemx3tion or continuance. Of this amount the national COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 365 banks had on deposit to secure circulation $199,400. The statutes require in the organization of a national bank a deposit of United States registered bonds bearing interest, and the few banks holding, these bonds, being either indifferent or recalcitrant, were addressed by circular to substitute interest-bearing bonds without delay. The question had heretofore arisen as to the legal status of a bank having bonds on deposit which did not comply with the statutes, and the question, upon being referred to the Department of Justice, was decided adversely to the-banks declining to withdraw non-interest-bearing bonds and substitute others.

The effect of the purchase and redemption of bonds during the year by the Treasurer upon the volume of circulation was inconsiderable; for, of the $3,926,050 bonds withdrawn by the banks, and substitution not made upward of $1,553,000 were withdrawn, on account of failed and liquidating banks. JSTotwithstanding the withdrawal of $2,372,500 on account of reducing banks, there was an actual increase in the amount of circulation, for Avhich the banks are responsible, as will be seen elsewhere. The following table shows the class and amount of bonds withdrawn by the banks, for purchase or redemption under Treasury circulars of October 9, December 6, 1890, June 2, July 2, August 24, September 2, and September 16,1891, and the class and amount of bonds deposited from October 31,1890, to November 1, 1891, together with the total withdrawals, on the deposit of lawful money, for which substitution was not made. 366 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

Injudicious loans had been made which were not readily convertible, anda sudden demand for the payment of a county deposit precipitated 376 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. suspension. The remote causes of failure l^ere negligence of directors, general stagnation of business, and decrease in values, resulting from . continuous failure of crops. The First ISTational Bank of Alma, Kans., for several months prior to suspension of business had received more than ordinary attention from the national bank examiner, two examinations having been made within a period of six months. Th^ president of the bank was accused of borrowing money on the strength of the bank's indorsement for personal use and investment in private enterprises, and of issuing certificates of deposit in blank ^ums to be sold under contract by outside parties. Judgments were resting against the president individually, ^ and judgment had been obtained against the bank by a corres[oohdent, the sherifi* levying upon the real and personal property. The amount of demand liabilities was very small and voluntary liquidation was contemplated, but an examiner, who visited the bank with special instructions, closed the doors on I^ovember 10, 1890, after due examination. The First E'ational Bank of Belleville, Kans,, closed its doors December 2,1890, The president was a large borrower, and used th<e b^nk for individual purposes. The banking house was destroyed by fire October 28, and from that date deposits gradually diminished, seriously limiting the business of the bank. The president was active in promoting local enterprises, SDine of which were total failures, and there was no return from investmentSo ' o The creditors have been paid 55 per cent on the principal of claims proved, ' The American E"ational Bank of Arkansas City, Kans., closed its doors December 8, 1890. The condition of affaks was complicated. The officers of the bank had used assets to farther personal interests, and created large and exjcessive loans. The immediate cause of suspension was inability to pay a demand certificate of deposit. There was an unwarranted extension of business in attempting to sustain enterprises in which the officers were interested, and large sums of inoney were borrowed upon certificates of deposit at high rates of interest. Dividends were paid to shareholders not justified by the earnings of the bank, and the directors were guilty of gross inattention to duty, disregard of the law and advice from the Comptroller. Dividends have been paid amounting to 20 per cent on the principal of claims proved, and the assets may prove to be sufficient for payment in fall. The'Spokane E'ational Bank of Spokane Falls, Wash,, closed its doors December 18, 1890, • The entire management of affairs was committed to the cashier and the vice-president, who were the moving spirits in speculative enterprises, which were carried on without interference or control b y t h e directors, the latter never giving the bank any attention, but lending their names in support of the reckless operations of the cashier. About one-half of the deposits were locked uj) in private banks and mining interests. This condition of affairs made it impossible for the bank to meet its demand obligations, and was the iminediate cause of suspension, A dividend of 15 per cent has-been paid to creditors on the principal of claims proved. The City E"ational Bank of Hastings, ¥ebr,, closed its doors December 27, 1890, . • On October 17 an assessment upon the shareholders, amounting to COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 377 50 per cent of the ca]3ital stock, was levied by the Comptroller, and remained unpaid. The examiner upon taking charge discovered the fact that more than one-half of an increase of caintal certified to the Comptroller as having been jysdd in, and authorized by him in accordance Avith law, was represented by the notes of subscribers, the obligations remaining unpaid at date of suspension. Kotes had been rediscounted for persons to whom the president had transferred real estate at fictitious values. High rates of interest were paid on certificates of deposit and bills payable to non-resident capitalists for several years prior to the suspension, and dividends not earned were declared and paid to shareholders. The board of directors was inattentive to duty, which made reckless mismanagement possible. A dividend of 15 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal of claims proved. The People's ISTational Bank of Fayetteville, N. C., closed its doors Deceinber 31, 1890, the immediate cause being a slight run by depositors. ' The condition of affairs, as reported by the examiner uijon taking charge, showed gross irregularities by the president and criminal violation of law. As a critical examination progressed,' it was found that tlie bank had been practically insolvent for many years, the Comptroller and the*examiners having been deceived through systematic and successfal attempts to carry among the assets a large amount of notes and bills as alive and secured which were in fact past due and worthless. The president was permitted to abstract fands of the bank upon the indorsement of notes taken by him in connection with an outside enterprise, and which were "represented as being secured by chattel mortgage. Fictitious drafts were drawn and carried by the bank as bills of exchange. The president was thoroughly dishonest; but, because the directors and other officers either did not know their duties or utterly failed to perform them, he was enabled to completely wreck the bank. All the facts were promptly reported to the United States district attorney.^ The president was arrested,-but the grand jury failed to find an indictment. A dividend of 20 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal of claims proved. The First ISTational Bank of Ellsworth, Kans., closed its doors January 26, 1891. Suspension was inevitable as the result.of injudicious and. reckless loans to the cashier and his friends, the funds being used and lost in speculation. A dividend of 15 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal of claims provied. The Pratt County ISTational Bank, of Pratt, Kans., closed its doors February 26, 1891. The president was a large borrower and a wild speculator. The bank was compelled to take mortgages to secure his indebtedness, which were not. valuable as live assets, the aggregate amount representing more than one-half of the capital of the bank. The bank also suffered large losses in the earlier period of its existence, but the management undertook to conduct a successful business by borrowing on bills payable and bills receivable and paying excessive rates of interest on. deposits. Upon sudden demand for the payment of tbe deposit of the county treasurer, the bank was forced to suspend. A dividend of 20 per cent has been paid to creditors on the principal of claims proved. The Second ISTational Bank of McPherson, Kans., closed its doors March 2, 1891. The failure of this bank was due to the reckless man^ 378 REPORT ON TiTE FINANCE^. agement of its president, who squandered the assets. Wlien the bank suspended he committed suicide. The Keystone J^ational Bank of Pliila.del.phia, Pa., was closed . to businei^s oh the morning of March 20,1891, by order of the Comptroller of the Currency, the examiner'immediately taking charge. An assessment upon the shareholders luid been previouslj^ levied to make good an impairment of the capital, as such impairment was then estimated. The assessment was not responded to by the shareholders, and ui^on disclosures made by the president of the bank in i)erson to the Comptroller, on the evening of March 19, immediate action was taken a,nd the bank was closed. According to the records of the bank as then disclosed, the capital had not been entirely lost, but subsequent investigation developed the fact that collusion among the officers and employes had resulted in successfally deceiving the examiner and the Comptroller with resi)ect to the true condition of the bank. " The causes of the failure were reckless and criminal use of funds belonging to the bank, the bookkeeper having aided the president, who is a fugitive from justice, in deceiving the examiner by Mse entries, such entries being made at or about the dates of examination. This bookkeeper, after the suspension, admitted his guilty and was arrested, brought to trial, and sentenced to imj)risonment for a term of seven years. Subsequently three other ipersons connected with the bank were arrested upon information and are now held under bail for collusioHo A thorough investigation has progressed since the date of suspension, for the puri^ose of ascertaining all the facts and fixing jiersonal liability. The city treasurer of Philadelphia appeared to be a large creditor, and permission was granted State and city authorities to investigate the records ofthe bank for the purpose of ascertaining the precise facts. The Treasury Department also instituted an investigation of all the records of the bank, with the view of ascertaining who is liable, criminally of otherwise, for the failure, which is still in progress. The Spring Garden i^ational Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.,dosed its doors on the morning of May 8,1891, being unable to settle with the clearinghouse. This suspension closely followed that of the Keystone National Bank, and as investigation proceeded it became evident that there had been criminal violations of law. On May 28 the president and cashier were arrested upon information and brought to trial. They were found guilty and relegated tb the penitentiary for a term of ten years each, . , The First i^ational Bank of Eed Cloud, l^ebr., was closed by the examiner May 22, 1891, payment of a certificate of deposit having been refused, and in obedience to telegraphic instructions from the Comptroller, Upon investigation it was discovered that the bank had been in an insolvent condition for a considerable period of time, such condition having been caused by irregularities of former officers and general mismanagement, E"o meeting of the shareholders had apparently been held for more than two years, and the officers and employes immediately in charge were permitted to conduct its aff'airs. The funds of the bank were largely loaned to its officers, and their relatives, tho loans not being properly secured. The ISTational City Bank of Marshall, Mich., closed its doors June 3, 1891. On June 2 the Comptroller was advised that the assistant cashier had embezzled a large sum of money, but that the bondsmen were able and willing to make good the entire loss without delayc COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. . 379 The cashier was very inattentive to duty, and the directors, having unbounded confidence in the integrity of the employes, grossly neglected the interests of the bank. As investigation proceeded the embezzlement was found to e^ual the entire capital stock. On May 27 the examiner discovered the defalcation and informed the directors, but as the bank w^as still considered solvent, no action was taken to secure arrest, and the embezzler escaped before the doors were closed and the examiner took charge. , A dividend of 50 per cent has been paid to creditors upon the i)rincipal of claims proved. The Eed Cloud ISTational Bank of Eed Cloud, Nebr., was closed by order of the Comptroller June 26, 1891. All of its capital was represented by unconvertible securities, and the fanjls ofthe bank had been invested in local enterprises, at great loss. The condition of the bank was due to bad management and a total disregard of sound banking principles. The Asbury Park JSTational Bank of Asbury Park, N: J., was closed by order of the Comptroller July 1, 1891. During the i^eriod of the bank's existence a sufficient amount of individual deposits were not obtained to make a profitable business. A large and costly building was constructed, and as an asset was not consistent with the volume of business. The president borrowed large sums, bad loans were made, and excessive interest was paid. Expenditures and losses were in excess of earnings, the directors were negligent of duty, and false statements of condition were'made. The public and correspondent banks lost confidence and suspension became inevitable. The Central Nebraska National Bank of Broken Bow, Nebr., was closed by the examiner on the morning of June 12, 1891, upon receipt of instructions from the Comptroller. The immediate and remote causes for this action were the heavy loans made to individual directors, aggregating three-fifths of the capital of the bank, and the heavy loss sustained upon bills receivable, wliich had been foisted UXDOH the bank through questionable methods • adopted by the officers in endeavoring to aid outside enterprises wholly foreign to the locality. Large sums of money were borrowed at high rates of interest, for which nearly all of the good paper of the bank had been pledged as security. The Florence National Bank of Florence, Ala., closed its doors June 22, 1891, the entire capital having been lost. The former president had absolute control, improperly used the funds of the bank to sustain' outside enterprises, and was forced to resign; but his management had placed the bank in a position from which it could not recover. The suspension ofthe bank was precipitated by the protest of drafts aggregating an inconsiderable amount drawn UIDOH a correspondent bank. The Ninth National Bank of Dallas, Tex., was closed by the examiner July 1, 1891, upon receipt of telegraphic instructions from the Comptroller. The bank commenced business in September, 1890, and was controlled by the cashier, who had previously become indebted for a large amount to another national bank, of which he was an officer, and fands ofthe Ninth National Bank were used to liquidate his indebtedness. The directors held meetings only on call, and were not attentive to duty. A large proportion of the loans were mad e to irresponsible parties without sufficient security, and the proceeds were subrogated to the uses of the cashier. A new management was effected, but thecapi-. tal had become so impaired that suspension was inevitable. After the examiner took charge an attempt was made to. control sufficient funds 380 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. for the payment of creditors in full, so that the bank might be placed in voluntary liquidation, but the effort did not succeed. From the records it would ai;)])ear that tlie failure Avas almost entirely due to the wild speculations and dishonest practices of the cashier. The First National Bank of Kansas City, Kans., closed its doors July 16, 1891, upon demand for the payment of the city deposit. A former president, in conjunction with the vice-president, were active speculators in real estate and the promoters of outside enterprises. These officers, and other real estate dealers, became indebted to the bank for large sums, and when a reaction from abnormally high prices resulting from a so-called ^^boom " occurred, were unable to meet their obligations or secure them with convertible collajterals. Settlements were forced upon the bank by transfers of real estate, to such an extent that the assets were tainted with a doubtful or worthless character. The credit ofthe bank having become impaired, confidence was destroyed, and stringency in the money market caused a withdrawal of deposits. The bank was unable to borrow from correspondents, not being able to pledge sufficient secuiity, and finally could not meet demand obligations. ' The F k s t National Bank of Palatka, Fla., closed .its doors July 17, 1891. The president was connected with a city banking institution which failed. Public confidence was destroyed, which resulted in a"considerable withdrawal of deposits, A large amount of stock, bonds, and real estate mortgages were among the assets, which at date of suspension represeiited a large loss. Serious depreciation of values and stagnation of business were general in the locality. Formerly, the management having been left entirely to the president, loans and investments were made in outside enterprises, dependent wholly upon the duration of exceptional local prosperity. The president and his relatives were large borrowers, and invested the fands in sustaining local schemes. Finally the bank was unable to borrow from correspondents, or rediscount paper, and could not meet demand obligations. The Farley National Bank of Montgomery, Ala,, closed its doors August 21, 1891, The immediate cause of the suspension was the protest of draft-s, aggregating in amount a sum greater than the capital of the bank, which had been cashed in the interests of a railroad company, collateral security being held, but not readily convertible. Efforts are being made to realize upon the security, so that the bank may resume business. The Eio Grande National Bank of -Laredo, Tex,, was closed by examiner upon receipt of instructions from the Comptroller September 14,1891, The principai cause of failure was the use of the bank's ftinds in sustaining an improvement company which owned a large area of land in the locality. The bank was doing no business, its capital was seriously impaired, and its resources locked up in unconvertible securities. The depositors were few; the aggregate amount due was insignificant, and there was no money in the bank to loan,. The First National Bank of Coldwater, Kans,, was closed by a national bank examiner, uiion receipt of instructions from fche Comptroller, September 21,. 1891o An assessment upon the capital had been made, but the shareholders did not respond. Former officers of the bank were reckless speculators in real estate, and failed, owing the bank large amounts. Their successors were large borrowers for similar purposes, "The general causes which resulted in suspension were bad and careless management and indifference to duty on the part of the directors, who left the management entirely in the hands ofthe cashiero A movement COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 381 to raise sufficient fands to pay creditors in full, so that the bank might be placed in voluntary hquidation, was abandoned. The First National Bank of Clearfield, Pa., closed its doors September 29,1891. The entire capital had been lost. The management of the bank rested wholly with the president, who had large interests in outside enterprises a n d a State bank, using the national bank for individual purposes. Excessive loans were made in sustaining outside deals. . Good assets were systematically abstracted, and worthless assets substituted. Loans not represented by the obhgafcions of firms and companies in some form or other, in which the president was interested, were based upon accommodation paper. Large loans were floated, represented by paper made by persons and firms of doubtful character. The bank acquired control of a mill property, which locked up large sums of inoney in the purchase and operation, and was a losing investment. The directors were either negligent or guilty of collusion. The irregularities already discovered strongly indicate fraudulent and gross violations of law. The president was promptly arrested and held for trial. The Washington National Bank of New York City was organized June 5,1890, with a capital of $300,000. Injudicious loans were inade, and the capital became seriously impaked. The doors were closed to business March 24, 1891, but the assets being sufficient to pay all liabilities, the bank was permitted to go into voluntary liquidation. The Newton National Bank of NcAvton, Kans., closed its doors November 20, 1890. A few months prior to this date an increase of capital stock had been approved by the Comptroller, the affairs of the bank, according to reports, being in good condition. A considerable number of shares of stock were owned by non-residents, who regarded the investment as secure mthout inquiry as to the conduct of the bank with respect to its management. After suspension the fact was developed that most of the increase, had been collected prior tp authorization by the Comptroller, and was represented substantially byloans made to a bank in Guthrie, Okla., which had failed. The cashier of this bank was the cashier of the Newton National Bank and co-manager. The management of the NcAvton National Bank practically rested with the viQe-president and cashier. Only one-third of the capital stock was held by local shareholders, so that unusual. facihties were afforded these officers for using the ftinds ofthe bank uncontrolled, as they owned about two-thirds of the^ stock locally held. The officers borrowed largely from the bank, and pledged a majority of the good bills as collateral security fbr rediscounts. The Eastern shareholders were prompt in taking steps looking to a repairment of the capital, and their efforts resulted in a deposit of sufficient fresh cajiital in cash to place the bank upon a solvent footing. The receiver was withdrawn, and the bank was permitted to resume business July 1,1891. . The Farmers and Merchants' National Bank of Clarksville, Tenn., closed its doors December 10,1890, on account of the embarrassment created by the failure of a private bank and firms indebted to it in large sums^. Eeports indicated that the embarrassment was temporary, and immediate steps were taken by the vshareholders to repair the capital, so that, if permitted, the bank might resume business. Their efforts were successful, a voluntary assessment was levied and paid, b'ad debts were charged off*, and as a result there becaine available fands sufficient to, pay all iliabilities, leaving the capital intact. The bank was permitted to resume business April 20,1891, 382 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

Of the 164 failed banks, 35 have paid creditors in ftiU, principal and interest, 6 have paid principal and a part of the interest, and 12 have j)aid the principal only.

The total amount so far paid to creditors of msolvent national banks has been $38,629,123, upon proved claims amounting to $57,792,028. The amount paid during the year has been $1,725,883, besides, $15,903 paid for dividends declared prior to November 1,1890, on claims proved since that date. Assessments amounting to $15,173,050 have been made upon shareholders of insolvent national banks under section 5151 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States.

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

COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 385 nave been partially closed, the Comptroller has been requested to permit resumption of business, the same title and charter number being retained. The reasons for such requests are generally based upon an unexpected appreciation in the value of assets, a desire to avoid sacrifices seemingly unnecessary, a change of management found to be important, and a desire to retain the title for its business value. The Supreme Court of the United States has held that a national bank in voluntary liquidation is not dissolved as a Qorporation, and may bring suit or defend for the purpose of winding up its business (Bank vs. Insiirance Company, "104 U. S., 54), and section 7 of the act apIKoved July 12, 1882, provides: Tliat national banking associations whose corporate existence lias expired or sha.ll hereafter expire, and which do not avail themselves of the provisions of this act, shall be required to comply Avith the provisions of sections 5221 and 5222 of the RcAased Statutes in the same maainer as if the shareholders had voted to go into liquidation, as provided in section 5220 of the Revised Statutes; and the provisions of sections 5224 and 5225 of the Revised Statutes shall also be applicable to such associations, except as,modified by this act; and the franchise of such associations is hereby extended for the-sole x^ui'x^ose of liquidating, their affairs until such affairs are finally closed. I t has been held by the courts that under act of Congress approved July 12, 1882, extending for the purpose of liquidation the franchises of such national banking associations a^ do not request an extension of their corporate existence, and making applicable to them the statutes relating to the liquidation of similar banking associations, the shareholders may continue to elect officers and directors for tile pur-, pose of effecting liquidation. In the case referred to, the court held that the right to elect directors and such other officers as are usually chosen by a business corporation is a part of the corporate franchise, and that when the franchise is extended, although for a limited purpose, the corx)oratioH may exercise all the powers originally conferred upon it which are appropriate for that purpose, among which is the election of directors, the right to manage its own affairs belonging to the bank through the shareholders, and nojb to those who by accident are found to be directors in possession. In 1568 the question arose as to whether the Comptroller ofthe Currency had authority to permit a national bank in voluntary liquidation to resume all its corporate powers, the request having been made by a bank which had been, permitted to go into voluntary liquidation, the shareholders having rescinded a former resolution, and requesting leave to withdraw notice to the Comptroller of a desire to liquidate the affairs of the bank. The matter was referred to the Department of Justice, and the opinion was rendered that resumption of business under such circumstances would involve too many grave consequences to admit ot the supposition that such an event was contemplated by Congress, or that it was consistent with the law. I t has-been strongly urged, however, that inasmuch as the association does not lose its corporate entity prior to a disposition of the last remaining asset, title and charter number having been preserved, and the association having been inactive as to new business only, retroactive action by shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock, relative to re. sumption of business, should be equally potential with the original resolution as to voluntary liquidation, inasmuch as the Comptroller is not inhibited by the law from taking cognizance of such action. By reference to the statute above quoted it will^be seen that associtions which do not avail themselves of the provisions of the act for FI 91 25 386 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. extension of corporate existence are required to comply Avith the provisions applicable to associations in voluntary liquida<tion consequent upon th(3 action of shareholders, and that the franchises of the class first mentioned are extended for the sole purpose of liquidation. It seems improbable that Congress intended to make a distinction between ^ associations in liquidation by reason of the action or non-action of shareholders, although in the first instance the language of the statute is that the association may be closed, and in the other it is more clearly indicated that the association is to be closed. Even if it could be conclusively shown that the Comptroller can legally permit a bank in voluntary liquidation to resume business, there would be insuperable objections to the exercise of such authority, arising out of a consideration of those principles which underlie a sound liublic policy with respect to the security of the depositors and creditors of national banks under existing law. Whenever depositors and creditors are paid in full, shareholders are released from the stock liability prescribed by section 5151 of the Eevised Statutes; and, if the association should be resuscitated, by Avhat process could this liability be reassumed or enforcedf Furthermore, tbe convertible assets having been realized to liquidate indebtedness, the doubtful alone remain to represent the interests of shareholders, and.as constituting a part of the capital would be a constant menace to the welfare of the association. DIRECTORSo All the powers of a national banking association are exercised through its board of directors. As a general rule it may be said that associations will prosper jnst in proiiortion as their directors are intelligent and faithful. The details of the business must of course be in charge of its officers, and the duty of selecting these is one of the greatest responsibihties devolved upon the board, for unless the active managers are skillfal, honest, and attentive the affairs of the association can not prosper. With the selection of a proper corps of officers the duties of the directors are well begun, but this is far from constituting all that is required of them, A recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States has attracted attention to the fact that the duties and responsibilities of directors of national banks are now ill defined. Without any purpose to enter into a discussion of the decision in the case mentioned (Briggs vs. Spaulding, et al), the Comptroller desires to say that legislation should make these duties so clear and unequivocal that no person of intelligence could plead ignorance of the requirements of the position. E^ational banks deriving their franchises from the General Covernment have in the past been conducted with conspicuous fideUty and have afforded unexampled security to those who have made them the depositary of their fands. While these facts are well known to all who have access to statistics upon the subject, there is still room for progress in the direction of security. iTo matter what safeguards are provided their enforcement must necessarily be committed to human agencies, and these are often unskiUfiil and occasionally corrupt. Experience shows that governmental supervision of national banks has been in the past of very great service in promoting safe and conservative banking, although its v^lue is neither fully understood nor COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 387 appreciated. Upon the directors, however, properly rests the responsibility of man agement, and any plan which contemplates relieving them in this respect is false in principle and will be found vicious in practice. ISTeither can they be safely permitted to delegate their powers and responsibilities tp other^^, nor neglect them with impunity. If the provisions of existing law permit directors of national banks to escape liability for losses resulting from transactions forbidden by the national bank act by i^leading ignorance of such transa'ctions, while such ignorance is the result of neglect of the affairs of the associations committed to their charge, it will be useless to expect in the future any better results than have been experienced in the past. As a matter of fact the greatest difficulty experienced by the Comptroller in j)romoting the successful management of the associations coming under his supervision has resulted from his inability to inspire the directors of national banks with a proper realization of the duties which they owe to the shareholders whom they have consented to serve and the creditors whorn they have engaged to protect. The greatest obstacles to be overcome are neglect and inattention. In far too many associations boards of directors never meet except upon the occasions when dividends are to be declared, and even this is sometimes unlawfully attempted without necessary action HD on their part. I In other cases there is a disposition exhibited by directors to monopolize the loans and discounts of the bank, thus converting to their own . use the funds of others entrusted to their keeping, thereby exposing the bank to losses by reason of want of proper distribution of its loans and subjecting to inconvenience those customers of the^bank who are not favored with a place at the directors' table. Such inattention and selfishness are too often the characteristics of bank directors and are l^roductive of serious consequences, but when accompanied, as they sometimes are, by lack of integrity the most direful results are realized. In relation to no matter connected with the conduct of national banks is legislation more imperatively demanded than in. making plain the duties of those who accept the position of directors. If to absent themselves from the bank and from the meetings of the board affords safe grounds of defense when it is sought to hold them accountable for losses which their presence and reasonable oversight would have iDrevented, then the public have been grossly deceived as to the measure of duty which shareholders and creditors may properly demand of officers to whom such important trusts have been committed. If the board of directors may safely neglect everything connected with the conduct of a bank except the election of officers and the declaration of dividends, then the law is greatly at fault. " Such a complete abdication of powers, ought not to go unrebuked and unpunished. All other safeguards will prove of little value if the chosen and only representatives of the shareholders may lawfully refuse and neglect to give the interests committed to their care such attention and supervision as successful proprietorship has at all times demanded.

The exchanges in iTew York amounted to about 60 iDcrcent ofthe whole sum for the United States, COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 393 A table will be found on page 171 of the Appendix,* compiled from returns made to the Clearing liouse h j the national banksinE"ew York Citj, exhibiting the movement of their reserve, Aveekly, during October, for the last fifteen years. STATE, SAVINGS, PRIVATE BANKS, LOAN AND TRUST COMPANIES. . In addition to rex)orting the condition of associations organized under national authority, the law provides that the Comptroller of the Currency shall procure and publish in his annual report to -Congress statements exhibiting the condition of banks, banking companies, and savings banks organized under State and Territorial laws; and'through the courtesy of public officials, in all but 18 of the States and Territories, this Bureau has been favored with statements of condition, of such banking institutions. It has been the custom for the past few years to add to information of that character similar returns from banks in States in which examinations are not authorized by law and reports of condition exacted. Such information is procured through direct corresx:)ondence with each bank and banker, over 5,500 having been requested to furnish statements for this report. While there is an apparent reluctance upon the part of proprietors of private banks to submit reports of their condition, officers of incorporated institutions report so generally that the returns herewith given represent over 93 per cent of these institutious stated to be in operation, and unquestionably a larger percentage of their total banking resources. During the year ended January 1, 1891, there was an increase of 606 over the prior year in number of banks organized, and an increase of 583 in the number from which reports have been received this year, indicating that the field is practically covered by the returns herewith published. Deviating in a measure from the jDlan of tabulating these' rexDorts as heretofore given (official and unofficial returns having been abstracted and compiled separately), it has been deemed best to consolidate all reports of each class of banks by States, simply indicating official and unofficial returns by proper references. Including reports made by private banks and bankers, statements representing the resources and liabilities of 4,989 incorporated and private banking institutions have been received, the aggregate resources amounting to $3,448,785,4.31, the principal items of assets being $805,901,113, loans on real estate; $413,938,942 on collateral securit}^ other than real estate; $840,567,612 other loans and discounts; $157,933,522 United States bonds; $327,172,153 State, county, and municipal bonds; $384,888,905 railroad, bank, and other stocks and bonds; $212,520,844 due from banks and bankers; $85,804,914 real estate, etc.; $165,634,081 cash on hand. The aggregate capital employed amounts to $356,749,315; surplus and undivided profits, $3.04,624,493; deposits, $2,661,752,961. Of the 4,989 reports, 2,572 are made by commercial institutions, classified in this compilation, as State banks, having an aggregate capital of $208,564,841; surplus and undivided profits, $81,116,533; deposits., $556,637,012. Eeports from 171 loan and trust companies show their aggregate resources to be $536,628,202. The capital of these companies is $79,292,889; surplus and undivided profits, $55,503,845; and deposits, $355,330,080.

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

It appears that the population of the country on the date in question was 64,156,300, and the total banking funds $5,840,438,191, an average of $91.03..

LOAN AND TRUST COMPANIES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. During, the first session of the Fiftj^-first Congress an act passed entitled, ^ An act to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan, mortgage, ^ and certain other corporations within the District of Columbia.*' This act was approved on the 1st day of October, 1890. Under its provisions companies can be formed for the purpose of carrying on within the District of Columbia any one of the three classes of business specified as follows: Eirst. A safe deposit, truvSt, loan, and mortgage business. Second. A title insurance, loaii^ and mortgage business. Third. A security, guaranty, indemuitj^, loan, and mortgage business. It is further provided that the capital stock of said companies shall not be less than $1,000,000, and that any of these companies may conduct a storage business Avhen its capital stock amounts to the sum of not less than $1,200,000. . ' Two methods are provided whereby companies may come under the provisions of the act. (1) By an association of not less than twenty-five natural persons to form a company, which shaU receive its original charter from the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and thereby become a body corporate and politic, and as such vested with all the IDO wer s and charged with all the liabilities conferred and imposed by the act upon companies organized under the provisions thereof. (2) Provision is made that any safe deposit company, trust company, surety or guaranty company, or title insurance company, incorporated and operating under the laws of the Unitecl States or the District of Columbia, or of any of the States, and doing business in said District at the time of the passage of said act, may avail itself of the provisions of the act. Ko charters have been issued by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to corporations formed by the association of natural persons under the first method provided for in the act, but three companies, incorporated previous to the passage of the act and at that time doing business in said District, have availed themselves of its provisions, to wit: The American Security and Trust Company, the Washington Loan and Trust Company, and the ]N"ational Safe Deposit Company. The American Security and Trust Company was originally chartered under the laws of the State of Yirginia, on the 12th day of October, 1889, with a cai^ital stock of $1,250,000, divided into shares of the par value of $100 each. This company executed a certificate-of its intention to avail itself of the provisions of the act of Congress, on the 11th day of November, 1890, and filed the same with the Comptroller of the Currency. It having comjplied with all the provisions of law applicable thereto, on the 17th of ]^ovember, 1890, the Comptroller issued to said company the certificate contemplated by section 5 of the act approved October 1, 1890, and the company lias since that date been oiDerating under its provisions. 398 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The Washington Loan and Trust Company was incorporated under the laws'^of the State of West Virginia on the 15th day of August, 1889. "This company has a capital of $1,000,000, divided into shares of $100 each, and was doing business in the District of Columbia at the date of the passage of the act of Congress above referred to. It having filed with the Comptroller of the Currency a certificate of its intention to avail itself of. the provisions of the act aforesaid and having complied with the other requirements of the act, the Comptroller issued to said company, on the 13th day of December, 1890, a certificate that it was entitled to transact the business of a trust company. The Irrational Safe Deposit Company of Washington was at tlie date ofthe passage ofthe act of Congress first above mentioned doing buvSiness in the District of Columbia as a safe deposit company, incorporated by act of Congress approved January 22,1867. On the 17th of March, 1891, this company executed a certificate of its.intention to avail itself of the provisions of the act of Congress approved October 1,1890. It having comphed with the provisions of law, the Comptroller issued to said company, on the 3d day of April, 1891, the certificate contemplated by the provisions of section 5 of said act, under which it was authori?zed to enter upon the business of a trust comx3any. I t also has a capital of $1,000,000. • Each of these companies has declared its intention to avail itself of the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid for the purpose of carrying on the kind or class of business described in subdivision 1 of section 1 of said act; that is to say, a safe deposit, trust, loan, and mortgage business, in addition to the powers lawfully exerci'sed at the time they severally came under the operations of the act of Congress above referred to. Each of these companies has also deposited with the Comptroller of the Currency securities equal in actual value to onefourth of the capital stock paid in, and is therefore entitled to become and act as administrator, executor, guardian of the estate of a minor, or undertake any other kindred fiduciary duty authorized by the act. One, the American Security and Trust Company, is also authorized to do a storage business, in accordance with the second proviso to the third paragraph of section 1 of the act above referred to« These several companies have each been duly examined, and have made and published reports of condition from time to time as contemplated by the provisions of sections 5211,5212, and 5213 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States, A statement of condition at date of last report will be found in the Appendix,'* pages 251-253. Aside from associations formed under the national bank act and those above enumerated, only one other corporation located in the District of Columbia comes in any manner under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency. The institution herein referred to is the lN"ational Savings Bank of the District of Columbia, This institution was chartered May 24, 1870, and has since been in operatioHo It is now, however, practicaUy in process of liquidation, its business being gradually transferred to and absorbed by the I^^ational Safe Deposit Company, above referred to, A report of "its condition on the 25th of September is published in the Appendix,* page 250, which wiU show its condition at that time. I t is understood to be the purpose of the directors of this bank to complete the tranfer of its business to the JSTational Safe Deposit Company and to finally close its afiairs at the earhest practicable date. * See foot note, p. 337, COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 399* CONCLUSION. During the year covered by the report the country has been passing through a financial crisis, unique in its character but of great severity. In no country are the conditions more favorable to the success of well directed enterprise than in this, and in none can the speculative operator find a more tempting and fruitful field. These conditions necessarily tend toward overtrading and undue expansion of credits, and these in due time result in collapse and general financial distress. Although periods of business disaster follow each other at reasonably well-defined intervals, the multitude, oblivious of the past, are always taken unawares. Those charged with the manageinent of national banks are not free from the optimistic spirit which characterizes their fellows, and hence the associations under their control invariably suffer whenever these periods of depression recur. • The failures witnessed during the year just closed exemplify the operations of the forces to which allusion is made. Whenever we consider the immense shrinkage of values which the hquidations bf the past twelve months involves, Ave are .surprised that, the associations constituting the national system have not suffered more severely. The growth of this system in recent years must not be overlooked when we are called m^on to consider the degree of success that has attended its operations. It is rapidly becoming popularized and for that reason more intimately connected with the business enterprises of the common people, reflecting with increasing faithfulness the degree of success or failure that attends their various commercial and industrial pursuits. So long as banliing remains fxee, associations will be formed by inexperienced men whose management wUl sometimes prove unskiUful and disastrous. So long as dishonest men exist banks must not expect to entirely escape the defalcations and embezzlements which occasionally startle the public. Eailures are inevitable under any system which stops short of governmental guaranty, and the latter is, of course, impracticable. That system, then, is best, all else being equal, which is found upon trial to exhibit the minimum of failures. In this respect, the national system stands unapproached and indisputably suxierior to all which.have preceded it. If is confidently hoped therefore that such measures wiU be taken by Congress as will serve to perfect a system which has proved so effective in the past, and which is so necessary to the future welfare of the people. The Comptroller desires in closing to say that the past year has devolved upon the Currency Bureau an amount of labor and responsibility which is entirely unprecedented. To those associated with him in the conduct ofthe affairs ofthe Office he is greatly indebted for the intelligent and faithful service which has made it possible to meet these increased responsibilities. He also desires to gratefnlly acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered him by those charged with the preparation of the statistical matter contained in this report. EDWARD S.

Table L, shoAving the collections, expenses, and percentage cost of collection in the several collection districts during the fiscal year ended . June 30, 1891. . . COLLECTIONS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. I estimate that the receipts from all sources of internal revenue will aggregate $150,000,000 for the current fiscal year. In order that the receipts shall reach this figure there Avill liaA^e to be a very considerable increase in the collections fr'om distilled spirits, fermented liquors, and cigars. During the first six months of the current fiscal year there AVIII be a decrease of about $2,500,000 in the tax received from manufactured tobacco and snuff, as compared with the same period of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890. In my last annual report I estimated that the reduction in the receipts from manufactured tobacco, for the six months ending June 30, 1891,Vould amount to $2,290,685.17. The actual decrease was as follows: • One hundred and nineteen millions nine hundred and ninety-one thousand scA^en hundred and fifty-nine pounds of tobacco were tax-paid at 6 cents per pound from January 1, to June 30,1891, upon which the reduction of 2 cents per pound aniounted to $2,399,835.18. I also estimated that the reduction in the receipts from snuff for tlie six months would be $92,216.41, but 5,253,008 pounds of snuff were taxIDaid at 6 cents per pound from January 1 to June 30, 1891, and the reduction of the tax UIDOH this quantity from 8 to 6 cents per pound resulted in a decrease in the receipts from this source of reA^enue of $105,060.16. . The aggregate decrease in the receipts fr'om manufactured tobacco and snuff* for the six months ended June 30, 1891, A\^as $2,504,895.34. Taking these figures, as a basis, it is probable that the reduction of the tax on manufactured tobacco and snuff from 8 to 6 cents per pound will decrease the receipts from this source about $5,000,000 annually. 1 also estimated in my last report that 500,000 gallons of grape brandy, free of tax, would be required to fortif}^ sweet wines, under the provisions of the act of October IJ 1890. The vintage season had commenced, however, before the passage of that act, and the provisions of the law were not fully understood, so that the wine producers did not use as much grape brandy as was anticipated. The actual number of gallons of grape brandy used in the fortification of SAveet wines during the fiscal year ended June 30,1891, was 193,557, the tax upon Avhich, at 90 cents per gallon, would have amounted to $174,201.30. I t is probable that about double the above quantity of grape brandy will be used for the fortification of SAveet wines during the current fiscal year. j^i 91. 26 402 REPORT ON. THE FINANCES.

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

The cost of collection for the past fiscal year, distributed among the different items of appropriation, was approximately as follows: For salaries and expenses of collectors, including pay of deputy col^ lectors, clerks, etc., and including expenses incident to enforcing the provisions of law taxing oleomargarine $1,' 761,157. 70 For sala'ries and exipenses of revenue agents, surveyors of distilleries, gaugers, storekeepers, and miscellaneous expenses 2,103,451.58 For jDaper for internal-revenue stamps 45, 575. 90 For expenses of detecttug and punishing violations of internal-revenue laws 35, 762.15 For salaries of officers,-clerks, and employes ia the office of Commis- . sioner of Internal Revenue '259, 708.16 •Total.. In addition to the foregoing there was also paid from-a specific appropriation made for this purpose, for expenses incident to carrying into effect the provisions of the act of Octoher 1, 1890, relating to the payment of bounty on sugar produced, the sum of Making the total amount expended 4,205,655.49 4, 948. 67 4,210, 604.16 The percentage of the cost of collection is 2.88 per cent. The expenses for the previous fiscal year were $4,095,110.80, being 2.82 per cent, of the collections. The amount appropriated for salaries and expenses of agents, gaugers, storekeejiers, etc., was $2,100,0.00, while, owing to the increased number 'of distilleries in operation resulting, in an increase in the amount of taxes collected froin spirits of more than $3,000,000, as compared with the previous year, as shown in this report, the actual expenses for this purpose were $3,451.58 more than the amount appropriated, as shoA\ni by unjjaid accounts now on file, and for which an additional appropriation will be needed. In the above statement of cost of collection there is included a very considerable amount of money expended in the i)reparatiOn of the regulations, and other expenses incident to the enforcement of the law. in relation to the payment of the bounty on sugar. These items are so connected with the other expenditures of this Bureau as to render it impracticable to separate them. In addition to this, there were gauged 193,557 gallons of grape brandy used in the fortification of sweet wines upon which no tax was iiaid, and a number of deputy collectors and other officers were necessarily employed in superAasing the delivery of this brandy to the wine-makers. These sums should properly be deducted from the cost of collection, and it they could be separated the percentage of cost of collection for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, would be very materially reducedo MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES, The act of Congress approved August 7, 1882, making proAnlsion for sundry civil expenses for the year ending June 30, 1883, required the Commissioner of Internal EcA^enue to make a detailed statement of all miscellaneous expenditures in the Bureau of Internal Eevenue for Avhich appropriation was made in that act. In accordance Avith this requirement, I submit the following detailed statement of miscellaneous expenses incurred: Express charges on'public moneys forwarded by collectors and deputy collectors to the depositories $4, 272.20 Locks for use at distilleries 5, 915.86 Hydrometers used in gauging spirits .*... 11,296.75 Gauging rods and wine measures »= „ 241,35 COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 407 Steel letters for numbering stills .'

I h a v e the honor to recommend that Congress appropriate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, the sum of $272,980 as salaries for the following officers, clerks, and emxiloyes in this Bureau: One Commissioner, at One deputy commissioner, at One chemist, at ...... .

I also recommend the appropriation of the sum of $2,500 as salaries for one stamj) agent at $1,600 and one counter at $900, the same to be reimbursed by the stamp manufacturers, as provided by the act of August 5, 1882. 408 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. GENERAL CONDITION OF THE OFFICE AND THE SERVICE. A t the close o f t h e year ended June 30, 1891, 201 officers, clerks, messengers, and laborers were employed in this Bureau, and the aggregate amount paid during the year for their salaries was $259,708.16. I take great pleasure in bearing witness to the fidelity, diligence, and accuracy of the officers, clerks, and employes of this Bureau during the past fiscal year. The work of the office is in a most excellent condition, and as fully up to date as practicable, and all business has been promptly and accurately transacted. The examinations of the offices of collectors, which have been had as often as it was possible with the force of revenue agents at my command, show them to be generally in good condition._ I t is on account of the i^romptness, industry, and efficiency of the collectors and their subordinates to a large degree that the collections during the past fiscal year were so largely increased, and by their diligence and economy that the expense of collection was reduced. In addition to the regular Avork of the Bureau the officers and clerks in this office have examined 29,427 claims for the payment of rebate on tobacco, etc., arising under the i^rovisions of the act of October 1,1890. Many of these claims involved considerable sums of money, and their examination and verification required a large amount of extra work, which was distributed among the different divisions of the office and performed Avith fidelity and dispatch. For several months prior to the close of the fiscal year three clerks were kept constantly employed in the work preparatory for the i)ayment of a bounty on sugar, as i:)rovided for by the act of October 1, 1890. The use of grape brandy for the fortification of sweet wines has also added largely to the clerical work of the office. In considering the entire work performed by the force in . this office I regard their yearns labor as most praiseworthy indeed. SCALE OF SALARIES OF COLLECTORS, The recommendations made for the salaries of collectors are based upon an estimate of their probable collections according to the folloAving scale, with the qualification that if the actual collections should vary from the amounts estimated the salaries will be readjusted at the end of the fiscal year: Salary.

On the 25th day of March, 1891, sealed proposals Avere inAdted from manufacturers for supplying paper of prescribed quahty and finish to be used in the printing of internal-revenue stamps for the present fiscal year. But one bid Avas received, thaU of the Fairchild Paper Oonipany, of Boston, Mass. The coinmittee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to consider the bids met at 12 o^clock m. on the 4th day of May, 1891, and in presence of a representative of the Fairchild Paper Company opened the bid, and after consultation decided to recommend its acceptance. The rate at which the company proposed to manufacture the paper was 6.1 cents per pound, a reduction of 0.2 cent per ])Ound from last year's contract price. The contract Avas awarded to the Fairchild Paper Company under date of June 8,1891, and the work thereunder was begain July 13, following. I t is estimated that not less than 700,000 pounds of paper will be required under the present contract in order that a six months' stock may be assured at the close of operations. STAMP PRODUCTION. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing supplies all internal-revenue stamps required by law, with the exception of those imprinted on tinfoil wrappers for certain manufactures of tobacco. These last are furnished by the John J. Crooke Company, of New York, under contract, Avithout cost to the Government, the contractor being ^compensated by the ma^nufacturers. Under the terms of the contract the Crooke Comliany reimburses the Government in full for the aggregate salaries paid one United States stamp agent and one counter, amounting to $2,500 per year. These salaries are reimbursed monthly. CLAIMS FOR REDEMPTION BARRED BY STATUTE. One hundred and forty-eight applications and inquiries for redemption of check and proprietary stamps Avere received during the year. These claims varied in amounts from a few cents to $32. Being barred by statute, the claims were rejected and the stamps returned to claimants. The seventy-eight claims noted in previous reports as being made up without sufficient data are not yet disposed of. I would suggest the adojition of some measure for final disposition of these cases, in order that they may be omitted from subsequent reports. They were ncA^er in proper condition for adjudication, since some were made up without claims to accompany stamps and some without stamps to accompany claims, and in neither case could claimants be identified. OFFICIAL COUNT OF STAMPS IN VAULT. December 22,1890, a committee of three, representing the Secretary's Office, the Comptroller's Office, and-the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, respectiAT^ely, Avas appointed to superintend the counting of the internalrevenue stamps in the A^aults of this Bureau. The vaults were i^laced in charge of the committee on the morning of December 29 following, Avhen the count began, a special force of counters and laborers having been designated for the puriDose. State'ments shoAving by classes and denominations the balances of stamps on hand December 26,1889, the receipts and deli Aperies thereafter and the balances on hand December 29, 1890, Avere fiirnished by the Division of L/oans and Currency, Sepre 414 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. tary's Office, and th^e count of stamj)s, which closed on the evening of December 31, was found to agree ,in every respect therewith, and showed that all the stamps with Avhich the Commissioner was charged A¥ere x^ropeiiy accounted for. The summary given by the committee shows that there Avere on hand December 26,1889 (the date of previous count), 78,865,617 stamps of all clenominations. There were received from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and fi^om collectors for reissue, during the period from December 26, 1889, to December 29,1890, 820,138,024 stamps, making .a total to be accounted for of 899,003,641 stamps. There were dehA^ered for issue, reissue, and destruction, during the same period, 876,066,300 stamps, leaving a balance to be accounted for December 29, 1890, of 22,937,341 stamps, which, by actual eount, were found to be in the vaults on that date. The decrease in the balance on hand, as compared with the previous annual count, is accounted for in the fact that the issues of all denominations of stamps during the period mentioned was, in about the degree of the difference noted, in excess of the receipts from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The committee in charge of the vaults carefnlly verified the accounts of the bookkeepers of the division, and found that they agreed in all respects with those of the Secretary's office. The fact that nearly one billion of stamps were received and issued by the Office of Internal Eevenue without loss dnring the past year was noted by the coinmittee as indicating ^ the h ghest efficiency and ^ integrity on the part of the officers charged Avith the responsible duty, and that the system by Avhich this result has been accomplished is well calculated to protect the interests of the Government in this important branch of the service." ACT OF OCTOBER 1. 1890. Under the proAdsions of the act of Congress approved October 1, 1890, the special-tax year was made to. begin Avith the fiscal year, the law to take eifect July 1, 1891. Provision was therefore made for -the extension of all special-tax stamps, issued May 1, 1890, and thereafter of that series, to COA^er the business of purchasers for the months of May and June, 1891, by the issuance of certificates of extension, , numbered in regular sequence and describing in each, by serial number and otherwise, the particular stamp, for extension of which it was issued. By reference to tabular statement of stamps issued it will be seen that there Avere sent to collectors during the period ft'om Ax)ril 10 to June 30, 1891, 222,538 of these certificates, aggregating in value $1,131,740. Under the same act the special taxes heretofore imposed upon dealers . in manufactured tobacco, dealers in leaf tobacco, retail dealers in leaf tobacco, manufacturers of tobacco, manufacturers of cigars, and. peddlers of tobacco were abolished, Avith the provision that all such mannfacturers and dealers, with the exception of dealers in manufactured tobacco, should register with the collectors their names, places of business, etc., the same as though the tax had not been repealed, prescribing a penalty of $50 for neglect or refusal to comply with the requirement. For the protection of those Avho might desire to register in either of the occupations enumerated, certificates of registry were provided for issue through the collectors, in the same manner as specialtax stamps are issued, to all applicants regularly registered. There were 61,160 of all classes of these certificates issued to collectors prior COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 415 to June 30, of the present year, many of these having been consumed for the registry of dealers for the period of tAvo months ending June 30. The foregoing certificates, as well as the certificates of extension, were famished by the Government Printing Office. The reduction of 2 cents per pound in the tax on tobacco necessitated the return to the office by collectors of all the stamps ofthe series of 1883 in their hands at the close of business December 31, 1890, and their reissue at the rate of 6 cents per xiound. To accomplish this, all these stamps were received into A^ault, and the sheet and strip stamps, together Avith those of same class and denomination in stock, Avere forwarded to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and were there properly imj)rinted. The coupon stamps returned and those in stock were imprinted by the use of hand stamps under the supervision„of a special committee appointed for that purpose by the Secretary of the Treasury. ^ I t is proper to say that the increased labor im|)osed by this reduction in the tax, and by the introduction of the certificates of extension, the certificates of registry, and. a stamp Av^ith tAvo coupons for issue to special-tax payers A^ho began busiHess in May and June, 1891, was accomplished successfully, and the accounts accurately kept, without a moment's delay in the current work and without additions to the clerical force. There haA^e been added to the stock of stamps regularly kept in vault since July 1, 1890, the following new classes and denominations: {a) Fortified osweet wine; (b) fortified wine for exportation; (c) transfer sta°mp for grape brandy; (d) export stamp for fermented liquors; (e) 12s cigar stamps; (/) 13s cigar stamps; (g) cigarette stamps, rate $3 per thousand; (h) stamps for prepared smoking opium; also, certificates of registry. In addition, for use this year only, were the special-tax stamps with two coupons for issue to purchasers who desired to begin business in May and June, and the certificates of extension, both'being mentioned elsewhere in this report. STAMPS DESTROYED IN TRANSIT. On the 28th day of April, 1891, a wreck occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad, which involved the total destruction of internalrevenue stamps, in transit by registered mail, ofthe face value of $29,505. The stamps consisted of tax-paid spirits stamps ofthe denomination of 100 gallons, value $29,430, and 20,000 one-ounce tobacco stamps, value $75, all mailed to Collector Wilcox, of the eighth Illinois district. In addition, there were destroyed two books of 200 stamps each of rectifiers' stamps, denomination 40 gallons (of no face value), shipped to Collector McDowell, of the seventh Kentucky district. The destruction of the stamps necessitated a second requisition by the coUectors, and the destroyed stamps stand charged to the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, and are unaccounted for in the accounts of the Bureau. There is no provision of law authorizing the accounting officers of the Treasury Department to credit the accounts of the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue Avith stamps destroyed under such circumstances, and it will be necessary for Congress to pass a special act authorizing the accounting officers to give credit for this loss. I therefore have the honor to ask that you will recommend the necessary legislation on the part of Congress to obtain such credit. 416 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. TOBACCO DIVISIOlir. The aggregate amount of taxes collected from tobacco during the last fiscal year was $32,796,270.97. This amount includes internal-reA^enue taxes paid by stamps on imported and manufactured tobacco, snufi', cigars, and cigarettes. The decrease of collections for the last fiscal year as compared with those for the previous fiscal year was $1,162,720.09. This is due to the reduction by the act of October 1, 1890, of the tax on snufi", chewing and smoking tobacco, January 1, 1891, from 8 to 6 cents per pound, and to the repeal of special taxes relating to tobacco. May 1, 1891. The tax on cigars and cigarettes was not changed, and the collections therefrom were increased $1,386,650.39 during the last fiscal year.

COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 419 DISCONTINUING- THB USE OF CAUTION LABELS. I beg to recommend that sections 3364 and 3393 of the Eevised Statutes be repealed. Section 3364 requires every manufacturer of tobacco or snuff', in addition to all other requirements of law relating to tobacco, to print on each package, or securely affix by pasting on each package containing tobacco or snuff*manufactured by him or lor him, a label on Avhich shaU be printed the number of the factory, the district, and State in which it is situated, and these words: NOTICE. The manufacturer of this tobacco has complied with all the requirements of law. Every person is cautioned under the penalties of law not to use this package for tobacco again. Every manufacturer of tobacco who neglects to print on or affix such label to every package containing tobacco made by him or for him, or sold or off'ered for sale by him, and every person Avho removes any such label so affixed from any such package shall be fined $50 for each package. . • Section 3393 provides that every manufacturer of cigars shall securely affix by pasting on each box containing cigars manufactured by him or for him a label, on Avhich shall be printed, besides the number ofthe factory, and district, and State, in which it is situated, these words; NOTICE. The manufacturer of t h e cigars herein contained has complied with all the requirements of law. Every person is cautioned not to use either this box for cigars again or the stamp thereon again, nor to remove the contents of this box without destroying said stamp, under the penalties provided by law in such cases. The penalty for violation of this section is $50 for each box. I t will be observed that these notices are required to be given by the manufacturers of tobacco, snuff', and cigars. They are required to declare that they have complied with all the requirements of law and also to state what the law is as to the re-use of packages and stamps, and to caution the public against the re-use of the package or stamp or the removal of the contents without destroying the stamp. If it were thought necessary that a caution of this kind should be given the public, and that notice should be given declaring that the manufacturer had complied with law, it is submitted that that notice and caution should be given by the proper revenue officer. JSTeither of these sections imposes any penalty except one for faihng to give the notice and for removing same. Whatever may have been the necessity for giving public notice of any of the provisions of internal-revenue law at the time that the internal-reA^enue law was enacted, there seems to be no further reason for it, the system having been in existence for many years. In addition to that, I am of the opinion that the caution notice is placed upon packages in such a manner that but few people read it. I am clearly of the opinion that both of these sections are wholly unnecessary; that they require manufacturers to incur needless expense, and add to the petty penalties with Avhich the system is overburdened. THE TABULAR STATEMENTS. In the tables* annexed AdlPbe found statements showing the manner in which the manufacturing is distributed through the different States, the number of persons and firms engaged in each of the two branches of manufacturing, the quantity of different kinds of material used, and * See note, foot of p. —. 420 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. the quantity and kind of products manufactured. These tables are compiled from the reports received from collectors of internal revenue of the transactions of manufacturers in their several districts for the calendar year ended Decembibr 31, 1890, a period of time diff'ering from the fiscal year, which will account for any apparent discrepancies between them and the prcAdous part of the report relating to tobacco. There were in Kew York City thirty-six persons who qualified and kept books as tobacco manufacturers solely for the x^nrpose of lawfully dealing in the refuse scraps, clippings, cuttings, and waste made by cigar manufacturers. They sort, sieve, and pack this material and export most of it to foreign countries. The rest they sell in bulk, under permits, to other manufacturers, who manipulate it and pack and sell their product as smoking tobacco. During the year 1890 they purchased 1,455,378 pounds of such material and exported and sold 1,388,060 pounds. These purchases and sales are not included in the tabular statement, because they did not pack and sell any of this tobacco for use and consumption.

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

The whole number of grain distilleries registered duringthe fiscal year ended June 30,1891, was 1,618, of which number 1,424 were operated. ' The numbers registered and operated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, were 1,536 and 1,397, respectively, showing an increase during the last fiscal year of S2 in the number registered and of 27 in the number operated. The larger portion of the increase in the number registered and the whole of the increase in the number operated occurred in the class of distilleries having the smaller capacities for the production of spirits, there having been an increase of 70 in the number of distilleries of this class registered and an increase of 29 in the number operated. In the class of larger distilleries there was an increase of 12 in the number registered, but a decrease of 2 in the number operated. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, there were registered 1,308 distilleries of the smaller class, varying in daily grain capacity from not over 5 to not over 60 bushels each, and ol this number 1,170, or 89 + per cent., were operated. Of the larger distilleries having daily gram capacities varying from 60 to several thousand bushels each, 228 were registered and 227, or 99J per cent., were operated. During the fiscal year ended June 30,1891, of the smaller distilleries 1,378 were registered, and 1,199 or 87+ per cent, were operated. Of the larger distilleries 240 were registered, and 225 or 93+per cent, were operated. There were 11 rum distilleries registered and 11 operated, an increase of one over the number reported for the previous fiscal year. There were 2,420 fruit distilleries registered and 2,384 operated; a decrease of 2,464 in the number registered and of 2,420 in the number operated during the fiscal year. The total number of grain, molasses, and fruit distilleries registered and operated during the year is 4,049 and 3,819, respectively. There was a decrease of 2,381 in the number of all kinds of distilleries registered and a decrease of 2,392 in the number bf all kinds operated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891, as compared with the fiscal year ended June 30,1890. # .# * * «& o ^ Fi91 2S MATERIALS USED FOR T H E PRODUCTION OF D I S T I L L E D SPIRITS.

The expediency of ascertaining the quantity of distilled spirits subject to tax, by means of weighing, has engaged my attention during the past year, ana I have caused a number of experiments to be made, some of which I have personally supervised, to test the relative merits of weighing, and of gauging, as methods of finding the true quantities, and to determine the practicability of the former for use under the internalrevenue system. The defects of gauging as an exact measure of the contents of packages have long ^been apparent, and have occasioned many difliculties in obtaining the full and correct amounts of tax due, and in guarding against intentional evasions of liability. Gauging is at best but an approximate way of finding the holding contents of a perfect cask, made upon true lines, and of material of an even thickness. When the curves of the cask differ from those upon which the mathematics of gauging are based, or its staves or heads are not of a uniform and established thickness, then gauging is further at fault and its results still more unreliable. Even when the capacity of a cask has been found with reasonable correctness, there still remains another measurement to be made to determine the portion of that capacity not occupied by spirits, if the package be not full, as for reasons of expansion it can not well be^ and when the apparent volume of spirits has thus been COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. ^ 439 found, a calculation must still be made to find thej true volume at a temperature of 60^ F., whenever the spirits are gauged at any other temperature. These several steps must be taken to obtain the wine gallons upon which the proof gallons are to be still further calculated. Besides the liability to error in any one or in all;of these processes, there is necessitated, in order to avoid delay, a constant dropping of fractions, or taking of the n§xt higher gallon, which, in theory, offset each other, but in practice are usually against a true result. Moreover, tlie performance of these various operaitions is a lengthy one, requiring a considerable time to insure the degree of accuracy obtainable, and thus compelling the employment of a large number of officers to discharge the duties with the promptness which the business demands. | . By the system of weighing, on the other hand,' the scales record quickly and with unfailing accuracy the gross weight of spirits and of containing cask; and the ascertained empty weight, of the cask being deducted, the precise number of pounds weight of the spirit contents remains. ' ^ ; After taking the proof, or alcoholic strength, of the spirits, the exact equivalent, in wine gallons, of the pounds weight is obtainable by ai3p]ying thereto the factor arising from the known weight of a gallon, of water and the specific gravity of spirits of the ascertained proof. This calculation is easily tabulated for ready use for any number of ^ pounds of spirits of any degree of proof. ' From the wine gallons so found the proofgallons follow by the simple application of the proof thereto. ; This method of finding the true volume of spirits avoids ^11 difficulties arising from the shape or dimensions of packages', or from their ullage or wantage, as well as from variations in the bulk of spirits -due to temperature, and appears to be superior to the present method of gauging in every feature of lucility, convenience, and accuracy. I t can be readily acquired, calling for little skill beyond the ability to read the scales and to ascertain proof correctly. \ I t seems probable that it will so far facilitate the labors of gaugers as to materially lessen the number of officers of ihis class necessary for the performance of their duties. ' • As to the entire practicability of substituting weighing for gauging I chave taken the opinion of a large number of men > experienced in the production or handling of distilled spirits, and the I predominating expression on the part of intelligent persons who have given any thought to this matter is distinctly in its favor. ' In view of these .considerations, I have decided^ after consultation with yourself and with your approval, and under \ the authority, conferred upom me by section 3249 of the United States Eevised Statutes, to-prescribe the use ofthe scales in place ofthe gauge rod at distilleries and, so far as applicable, at rectifying houses j retaining the rod for use in gauging packages of rectified spirits whose true proof is not ascertainable owing to the presence of saccharine or other matter in the spirits; and under other circumstances when the use of the scales may not be feasible. ; • For this purpose I have had tables prepared in this office for use, as above indicated, in connection with the scales, and for the ascertainment of the proof gallons as well as the wine gallons, and I am now preparing regulations to establish the new system. | I have also, with your approval, contracted with the Fairbanks Company, which upon advertisement was the only bidder, to fnrnish at the expense ofthe United States twenty-three hundred scales or weighing 440 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. beams, with poises and barrel hooks—a sufficient number, I judge, for the present, and perhaps for a considerable period. The cost of these scales, at $10 each, with the appurtenances, will, I am confident, be much more than compensated within no great space of time by a reduction in the expense of gangers' fees, relative to the number of gallons gauged, and, besides, by a large addition to the amount of tax collected, due to greater accuracy, although such addition can not perhaps be definitely estimated. ^ D I S P E N S I N a W I T H G^AUGINO SPIRITS OUT FROM R E O T I F Y I N a HOUSES, Section 3320 of the Revised Statutes requires that ^ Whenever any ^ cask or package of rectified spirits containing five wine-gallons or more is filled for shipment, sale, or delivery, on the premises of any rectifier who has paid the special tax required by law, it shall be the duty of the United States gauger to gauge and inspect the same, and to place thereon an engraved stamp, signed by the collector of the district and the said gauger, which s|iall state the date when affixed, and the number of proof-gaUons,'' etc. When this stamp is attached the package is placed upon the market. The stamp is, of course, expected to show the proof of the contents of the package, but inasmuch as rectified spirits are very frequently compounded by the addition of saccharine substances it is impossible to accurately determine the proof thereof.: The proof of spirits is obtained by the use of a hydrometer, but where any substance is mingled with the spirits which has a greater specific gravity than water and alcohol, the hydrometer will n ot register the proof. Iri all such cases the gauger is compelled to take the statement of the rectifier as to the strength of the siDirits. When spirits are entered into a rectifying house and dumped they are gauged before any rectification takes place. Such spirits hav'e also been gauged at least once before at the distillery, and as the surveillance exercised by. the Government over rectifying houses is simply to prevent frauds (there being no additional tax on rectified spirits), it is, in my opinion, unnecessary to attemjDt to regauge spirits after they have passed through a rectifying house. First, because I think it is unnecessary as a protection against fraud; and, secondly, because whenever any saccharine matter has been added to the spirits it is impossible to ascertain their proof. During the past fiscal year 71,220,Q31 gallons of rectified spirits were gauged, involving a large amount of work, which cost the Government a very large sum of money. I am of the opinion that the interests of the service do not require this expenditure, and therefore suggest that Congress be asked to make the necessary amendments to the law dispensing with the gauging of spirits out from rectifying houses, tod providing in lieu thereof that the rectifier be required to report to the collector of internal revenue the number of gallons so rectified and the proof thereof, and to place a stamp uiion the package showing the serial number of the package from which it was taken, the manufacturer thereof, and such other facts as shaU be required by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with your approval, and imposing a fine for a failure to make such report or affix such stamp. Of the Eevised Statutes, sections .3317 and 3318 would be indirectly affected, and sections 3320 and 3323 directly affected by such amendments. By substituting the system of weighing for the present system of gauging for the purpose of ascertaining the contents of a package of distilled spirits, and by dispensing with regauging out of rectifying houses, it is believed that the expenses of gauging wiU be reduced to the minimiuiiLo COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 441 DIVISION OF ASSESSMiENTS.

I t appears from reports recently received that while the quantity of spirits in distillery warehouses September 30, 1890, was 85,106,670 gallons, or more'^ than 4.6 millions less than the quantity therein June 30, 1890, the quantity in warehouse September 30, 1891, was 104,810,892 gallons, or more than 8.1 millions less than the quantity so held June 30, 1891. I t i s noted also that this increased reduction is due to decrease in production during July, Augnst, and September, 1891, rather than to increased tax-paid withdrawals, the qantity withdrawn taxpaid during these three months being nearly 1,000,000 gallons less than the quantity so withdrawn during.July, August, and September, 1890. DISTILLED SPIRITS IN THE UNITED STATES OCTOBER 1, 1891. The quantity of distilled spirits in the United States, except wha.t ma;y be in customs bonded warehouses, on the 1st day of October, 1891, was 152,945,773 gallons, this quantity being distributed as follows: - * . .

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

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

The increase in production over last year was 12,068,377 pounds; in receipts, $291,632.42. . STATE AND TERRITORIAL LAAVS RELATIVE TO OLE(3MAROARTNE. In last year's report there was published a brief summary of the laA^^s of States and Territories that were in force elune 17, 1890 (the date of COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 45? request of this office for information upon the subject). Through failure to receive advice from "-Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiaua, Mississix3pi, South Carolina, Texas, and/Washington the summaries of the oleomargarine laws of these States, or remarks concerning the subject, were based upon information receiA^ed up to and including E^oyember, 1888. Information has since been receJA^ed from the States just named, also from all other States and Territories where changes in the laAvs have been made since June 17, 1890, Avhich enables this office to make its summary (herewith presented) complete up to the close of the fiscal year for which this report is submitted, namel}^, June 30, 1891: Alabama.—IsTo change in the law as summarized in last year's reportArizona.—IsTo change.

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

An increase of $165,000 was made in the same act in the appropriations for the salaries and expenses of. collectors of internal reAT^enue, deputy collectors and clerks over the estimated amount necessary for collecting internal revenue, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the law relatiA^e to the bounty. The clerical force in this office was also increased as follows: 1 1 1 1 1 head of division, at a salary of. $2, 250' 1 clerk, at a salary of clerk, a t a salary of 1, 800 1 clerk, at a salary-of clerk, at a salary of.. ^ . . . -. 1, 600 1 messenger, at a salary of clerk, at a salary of 1, 400 Total clerk, at a salary of 1, 200 $1, 000 900 840 10,990 The total additional api3ropriation made for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, on account of sugar bounty was, therefore, $211,990. The act making appropriations to supply deficiencieain the appropriation for the fiscal year ending June-30, 1891, and prior years (act ot March 3, 1891), also appropriated $5,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for expenses incident to carrying out the provisions of the act of October 1, 1890, relative to the bounty on sugar. Of this appropriation, the snm of $4,948.67 has been expended—most of it for polariscopes, chemical supplies, and fitting up laboratories. The sum expended for weighing and sampling instruments, polariscopes, supplies for laboratories, etc., will not be an annual expense except as far as may be necessary to furnish HCAV instruments or apparatus to replace those injured or worn out. I t should be borne in mind that the Government is obliged to have all the sugar weighed by GoA^ernment Aveighers, and to throw all the safeguards and checks around the x)ayment of a bounty of $10,000,000 requires the same system that is necessary in the collection of a like amount of taxes. t h e same OA'^ersight is to be taken of factories where sugar is produced upon which bounty is to be claimed, as is taken in the case ol tobacco factories, oleomargarine factories, etc., where reA^enueis collected. The bounty will be paid from the Treasury to the individual through the same general channel and surrounded by the same checks asAvhere inoney is collected from individuals and paid into the Treasury. AA^'HEN THE ACT TOOK E F F E C T . The first question that arose in making arrangements for carrying out the law was as to the time Avhen the provisions of the act relative to bounty went into effect. The act itself stated that the provisions thereof, relative to the payment of the bounty, should take effect on the 1st day of April, 1891. The question was submitted to the Attorney-General whether the bounty was payable on maple sugar made on and after April 1, 1891, and before July 1, 1891. It was decided that it Avas not intended by Congress to make the bounty payable on sugar produced prior to July 1, 1891. , • • . • • • . - !

The party purchasing such cane or sirup and making the sugar will be entitled to the bouniby upon compliance Avith the requirements of the regulations. If, however, the planter or farmer takes his cane or sirup to a siijar factory and has it made into sugar for his own account, retaining ownership and paying to the factory a toll for the manufacture, he is then the sugar-producer and entitled to the bounty/. The central factories which work sirup into sugar, on contract for other parties who produce the sirlip and retain OAvnership, are treated and considered as a part of the sugar factory of the licensed sugctrproducer and are subject to the same rules and regulations in regard to oiotices, books, etc. .

The beet-sugar industry in the continental countries of Europe has groAvn within recent years to great dimensions, so that now the production of beet sugar in the world exceeds that of cane. The improved methods of manufacture and the protective system established in those countries and the payment of bounties to beet-sugar manufacturers on exporting their product ha;ve produced this result. The bounty granted to the manufacturers of sugar under the act of October 1,1890, the admission free of duty of beet-sugar machinery until July 1, 1892, and the encouragement given by the Department of Agriqulture in the experiments for the benefit of farmers, and the aid given by different States will doubtless have the effect of stimulating the industry in this country. In 1887 we produced in this country from the sugar beet 600,000 pounds of sugar, in 1888 about 4,000,000 pounds, in 1889 about 6,000,000 pounds. In 1890 three factories in this country (two in California and one in ISTebraska) produced about 8,000,000 pounds. Three additional factories have been established during the past year, and it is estimated that their production this year AVLU be about 25,000,000 pounds. SUGAR FROM SORGHUM.

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

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

The laAV provides that the expenses of branding the COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 467 packages and of making the analysis shall be paid by the persons receiving the bounty. All property of sugar factories is exempt from taxation until 1895. In Utah the Territorial law (act of March 12, 1890) gives a bounty of 1 cent a pound for the years 1890 and 1891 on sugar made from sorghum, beets, or other sugar-bearing plants grown in Utah; not more than $15,000 to be drawn each year. ]!:^o bounty shall be paid upon sugar unless the corporation, firm, or person claiming it shall have first erected a plant for its manufacture, costing not less than $200,000, and having a capacity of manufacturing 15 tons of sugar per day. The claimants for bounty are required to pay the cost of carrying out the law. The State of Ii^ebr^ska, by the act of legislature of March 19, 1889, ^^An act to provide for the encouragement of the manufacture of sugar and paying a bounty therefor,^- authorized the payment of a bounty of 1 cent per pound UXDOH sugar made from beei^, sorghum, or other sngaryielding cane or i^lants, but the law was r e p l i e d by the legislature of 1891. ' RECOMMENDATION AS TO AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. The law makes no provision for transferring a license, and no provision for issuing a license upon papers filed after the 1st of July of each year. . A case of this kind arose: A firm filed a notice and gave the required bond prior to the 1st of July, and a license was duly issued. Subsequently, after the 1st of July, the firm was dissolved, one member, retiring, and a HCAA^ member took his place. The question arose whether ' the new firm would be entitled to the bounty upon giAdng a new notice and filing a new bond. This office held that there was no authority to issue a license to the new firm; that the business must be continued in the name of the old firm and the bounty paid to it; that members of the old firm and the sureties on their bond must sign papers to be filed in this office consenting to this, and continue their liability. Such contracts may be made by the parties between themselves as to indemnity, disposition of the bounty, etc., as they consider necessary for their own protection. ^ 1 recommend that the law be amended so as to provide for the transfer of a license or- the issuing of a new license to successors or legal representatives, in case of the death of a party who has obtained a license or a change of firm or transfer of business occurring after the 1st of July and after a license has been issued. CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR IN THE UNITED STATES. This country is a large consumer of sugar, the people using more per capita than those of any other country, except England. In the last fiscal year we imported 3,483,477,222 pounds of sugar of the value of $105,728,216, and produced 512,261,530 pounds. Of the amount imported 661,448,057 pounds were beet sugar of the value of $18,318,269, and 2,822,029,165 pounds cane sugar of the value of $87,409,947. The amount of sugar produced in the United States is about one eighth of the amount consumed. 468 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. SUGAR STATISTICS. 1.

COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL 471 REVENUE. CHEMICAL AND MICROSCOPICAL LABOEATORY. From November, 1886, Avhen this laboratory was established under the act of August 2, 1886, ^ defining butter," etc., to July 1, 1890, there. ^ had been a total of 479 samples of various articles receiA^ed and analyzed, but during the past year 754 samples have been received. This large increase in the number of samples submitted, for analj^sis arises from the free fortification of sweet wines, under the provisions of sections 42 to 49 of the ^^act to reduce revenue," etc., approved October 1, 1890, which makes it necessary to accurately ascertain the alcoholic and saccharine strength of such wines owing to the limitations prescribed in the law. This act made no provision for an increase in the laboratory force, although the work of a scientific nature called for by several of its provisions, whose enforcement belongs to this office, largely increased the work to be performed in the laboratory here. The consequence is that there is now nearly a year's work on hand. The following table shoAVS the variety and number of samples received each month, and the variety and number analyzed and on hand awaiting analysis at the end of the fiscal year: T A B L E I . — V A R I E T Y , N U M B E R O P SAMPLES RECEIA^ED, ANALYZED, AND ON H A N D , 1890-'91. 1890.

In addition to the samples receiA^ed from officers of this Bureau, samples have been submitted for investigations and analysis hy other Bureaus of this Department. An investigation Avas made of the. composition of the paper used for bank notes, etc., for a special committee appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 472 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The proAasions of the act of October 1, 1890, relating to sweet Avines, haA^e also added to the work ofthe laboratory in the preparation of instructions for taking samples of SAveet Avines for the determination of the alcoholic strength and the sugar contained in such wines. There Avas also required the calculation of whole per cents tables indicating the number of Avine gallons of brandy to be added to sweet wine to prodnce a given alcoholic strength within the limits x^rescribed by law. Eegulations for carrying into eflfect the above sections of the act have also been prepared and have received the aj)proval of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the necessary instruments tO be used in testing sweet wines have been purchased in conformity Avith the law governing such liurchases. As the law (section 43) prescribes Balling's saccharometer as the instrument that may be used to ascertain the saccharine strength of sweet wines after the due evaporation of the contained alcohol, and restoration to original volume, it was deemed advisable as a saAdng in time and materials to use this instrument not only for the purpose specified in the law, but as a med^ns of approximately determining the alcoholic strength of the AA^HC, by first using\the saccharometer as a specific gravity spindle. The method devised by Tabarie for the determination of alcohol in presence of fixed matters with tolerable accuracy could be followed, and one set of instruments and one evaporation suffice for both the alcohol and sugar determinations. Under this method the specific gravity of the original liquid is first observed, a measured quantity is then boiled sufficiently long to volatilize all the alcohol, and the ^ extract'' subsequently made up with water again to ^ the exact original volume, the dilution being made at the same temperature as the original, 60^ F. being taken as the standard temperature. Then the specific gravity of the original liquid divided by the specific gravity of the extract is equal to the specific gravity of the" alcohol evaporated. From this last figure the proportion of alcohol can b e , ascertained by reference to suitable tables. When Avine is examined by this method the estimation of alcohol has a tendency to be low, but the process is extremely simple and the results approximate closely to the truth. (Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis, second edition, vol. 1, pp. 71-72). Instead of instructing the officers and furnishing them with copies of elaborate alcohol tables and the corresponding si)ecific gravity Ibr each tenth degree of the internal revenue Balling saccharometer in order to make the calculations called for by the above equation, as they now have to do under the revised regulations, it was considered less complex to instruct them to subtract the reading of the spindle before from that after deal<?oholization and refer to a table for the corresponding percentage of absolute alcohol by A^olume for the difference obtained. This table was calculated by taking some ten to twenty ditferent specific gravities at various points on the saccharometer scales, and, using the above equation, there was obtained the various specific gravities for the alcohol evaporated for a given difference in saccharometer readings. The mean of these calculations was then taken and this result stated in the table. The elaborate tables of W. Schultze, showing the quantity of extract by weight corresponding to each increase of one-tenth in the fourth place of decimals of the si3ecific gravity at 15^ 0. (59° F„), were employed (Dingier, Polytechnisches Journal, 1878, 230, p. 421), and the alcohol tables of Dr. Thomas Stevenson (London, second edition, 1888). COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 473 I t A\^as not the intention of this office to allow the gauger or other officer AA^io supervised the fortification to be the sole judge Avhere Avines are presented for fortification that approach the limits prescribed by laAV, but to subject such wines to accurate chemical analysis by skilled chemists. For this reason certain limits Avere placed in the regulations, and when ah officer in the course of his Avork obtained, by the approximate method given, results approaching these limits, he was to send a sample to this laboratory for careful analysis. As a matter of fact nearly every fortification that was carried out during the past season in California is represented by one or more samples received in this laboratory. A large number of the samples of wines have been analyzed by the indirect method prescribed in the regulations and also by the more elaborate and accurate method of weighing on a delicate analytical balance. The results obtained are stated in the following Table I I : TABLE II.—ANALYSES or FORTIFIED SWEET WINES. COAIPARISON OF DIRECT AND I N D I R E C T A L C O H O L DETERAIINATIONS.

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

This office not being provided with a physical laboratory for the proper testing of hydrometers and the standardization of weights, flasks, and tubes, arrangement had to be made with the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to have all such work carried, out in the physical laboratory connected with the Office of Weights and Measures= of his Bureau. I t is hardly necessary to say that this class of work involves the greatest accuracy of manipulation and a large amount of time to properly perform the various comparisons at controlled temperatureSo For the saccharometers and alcoholometers to be hereafter issued by this office,thenecessarycorrectiontobeappliedforevery2^ per cent, readings of their stems will be fnrnished by the Coast Survey after direct comiiarison with the standard solutions and instruments now in their possession. For the manufacturers of these instruments sets of standard ones have been supplied so that it is expected that the hydrometers furnished will be as accurate as it is possible to make such lustrumentSo As soon as the necessary comparisons can be made by the Coast Survey after the instruments are received from the manufacturers, a sufficient stock will be kept on hand in this laboratory, and the unavoidable delays hitherto occasioned in filhng requisitions from collectors will, it is hoped, be avoided. The most serious delay has been caused in obtaining a satisfactory model of a portable still for the alcoholic determinations in sweet wines (in accordance with the provisions of the revised regulations), and although one of the largest chemical supply houses in the country has the contract for farnisldng the necessary outfits, they have not yet been able to make a still that comes u]3 to the requirements of the specificationSo OLEOMARaARINEo . Of the fifty-one samples received from revenue officers for chemical analysis twenty-six proved to be oleomargarines and the remainder butters. The butters were in most cases exceedingly rancid; some of the officers had evidently considered that rancidity was presumptive of the presence of added fats, overlooking the well known fact that manu-. factured oleomargarine will keej) for a long time Avithout undergoing rancid fermentation, whereas poorly worked butters rapidly decompose, and will even undergo putrefactive fermentation if kept long eUongho Samples of oleomargarines havebeen kept in the laboratory refrigerator for over 2 years without becoming rancid, although at the end of that time they had lost their butter flavor and tasted and smelt like suet fat. These were of the ordinary grades, and retained until they were called for as evidence in trials, and no especial precautions were taken to exclude the air. ATL interesting report of the United States ccmsul at Eotterdam has lately been issued by the State Department, showing the vast strides made in the production and consumption of oleomargarine in the ISTetherlands, oleo oil to the value of $10,000,000 being imported from the United States during the calendar year 1890, ancl an estimated total outxnitof oleomargarine of 165,000,000poundsbeingproduced during the same period, of which nearly 128,000,000 pounds were exported, to England, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, E"orway, Denmark, and the Dutch, English, and, Portuguese colonial possessions. The farmers found that this large output of artificial butter did not interfere in the least with those of them who made a high grade of butter, which commanded good prices the year round, and those who only owned a few cows had no difficulty in making contracts with the oleomargarine fac COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 483 tories to take all the milk their cows would yield. The sale of oleomargarine in Europe, as in this country, was among the poorer classes, who prefer a palatable fat to a rancid one. MISCELLANEOUS SAMPLES. Several samples of so-called ciders have been analyzed, which proved on examination to be free from any admixture of the fermented juice of expressed apples, and to consist of varying mixtures of water, tartaric acid, coloring matters, with more or less alcohol, and certain flavoring matters according as peach, cherry, or orange cider was desired to be manufactured. Although a well fermented apple cider contains more alcohol than the strongest ales, its manufacture and sale are not under internal-revenue laws, yet the manufacture of inixtures of alcohol or other distilled spirits flavored or colored to imitate certain alcoholic beverages is sul^ject to tax. Two samples of a mixture of rock candy and diluted distilled spirits were analyzed, and the manufacturers held to be rectifiers under the law. , Samples of high-colored recently produced distilled spirits continue to be received for analysis. In most cases- caramel or other artificial coloring matter is found on examination to be present, arising from such material being introduced into the barrels, presumably before they are filled at the cistern room of the distillery. Of course in the case of rectified goods, where the rectifier is at perfect liberty to introduce what coloring matter or flavoring extracts he pleases, abnormal whiskies may be expected, but they 'should not be found on distillery premises. The introduction of foreign matter into distilled spirits in which such matter is more or less soluble tends to a greater or less extent to increase the specific gravity of such spirits, and as a consequence the reading; of the" alcoholometer is below the existing alcoholic contents. Tlus is well exemplified in an exaggerated form in the case of sweet wines (see Tables ii and iii, ante), where there may be as much as 26 per cent, of alcohol by volume in the wine, which the alcoholometer would not only fail to indicate, but would apparently show that there was none at all present. No hydrometer can be made to indicate the composition of three liquids, but is restricted to two, one of which is water, as a general thing, and the other a variable quantity of the substance whose percentage presence has pjeviously been determined by careful analysis, and consequently whose resulting specific gravity is known. Where a third substance is present in a solution it must be eliminated before a hydrometer can be used to indicate the proportions of the other two. In the case of sweet wines, cordials^ artificially colored spirits, etc., the evaporation of the liquid in a closed vessel with condensation of the vapors given off on heating readily separates the volatile matters, ethers, alcohols, and water from the non-volatile coloring matters, sugars, mineral salts, etc., and permits of the determination of the alcohol present in the distillate by means of a hydrometer, and by suitable calculation of the amount in the original liquid. The paper used for printing revenue stamps has frequently been examined and the admixture of wood pulp detected, when present, readily under the microscope by using a moderate power and staining the weU macerated paper (previously boiled in dilute caustic alkali solution and washed with dilute acid and water) with potassium iodide, when the characteristic cellular structure of the wood fiber assumes a purplish hue 5 as such admixture is contrary to the terms of the contract, when 484 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. such adulterated paper was found the contract was annulled; the deliveries under the new contract made in consequence of this examination have been so far free from such adulteration. The first sample received under the provisions of the act ^^to prevent the manufacture or sale of adulterated food or drugs in the District of Columbia," approved October 12,1888, has been analyzed, and the matter is now in the hands of the United States attorney. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, J O H N W . MASON, Commissioner, Hon. CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary of the Treasury, (Ko. 5.) REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVIHG AND PRINTIlfG. TREASURY D E P A R T M E N T , B U R E A U OF ENGRAVING AND P R I N T I N G , Washi7igton, p . C, October 16,1891. SIR : I have the honor .to submit the following report of the operations of this Bureau during the fiscal year 1891: The result of the year's operations is the largest delivery of securities, stamps, and miscellaneous work of any year during a period of 14 years. There were completed and delivered during the year 11,233,999 sheets of United States notes. Treasury notes, gold and sil ver. cer tificates, bonds, and national-bank notes, having a face value of $308,965,930; 33,500,696 sheets of internal revenue and customs stamps containing 927,934,984 stamps, and 1,655,686 sheets of drafts, checks, certificates, etc., besides a large amount of miscellaneous work for the various departments ofthe Government. There were also received from the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, and returned to him after being imprinted with the words '^ Act of March 1, 1890,'^ 723,663 sheets containing 24,522,669 stamps for tobacco and snuff. When the estimates for this year's work were submitted in October, 1889, it was anticipated that the deliveries would be nearly 15 per cent, greater than for the year 1890 and nearly 8 per cent, greater than for 1889 in which were made the largest deliveries from 1877 to that time. The result shows that the deliveries are 27 per cent, greater than those for 1890 and 18 per cent, greater than those for 1889. This large amount of work has not been accomplished without extra effort on the part of nearly every one connected with the establishment. During the greater part of the year it was necessary to work the plate printers and other employes connected with their work, constituting the largest part of the force of the Bureau, 2J hours, and from March 19 to May 31,1891, 3J hours beyond the regular hours daily, commencing work during this latter period at 7 a. m. and closing at 6.30 p. m. During the spring of 1891 the demand for small notes, under the Act of July 14, 1890, and the Act of August 4, 1886, was so great that, taken in connection with the steadily increasing demand^ for internal revenue stamps, it became apparent that the facilities o f t h e Bureau, even with the additional space which would be afforded by the new wing when completed, would not be sufficient for the execution of the work within the regular hours. It became necessary, therefore, to devise some method of performing the work that would enable the Bureau to do this. After a very full and careful examination into the matter I became satisfied that the method of printing internal revenue stamps from steel plates engraved in relief, while affording ample protection to the Government, would enable me to do the printing more rapidly, and would thus secure the prompt filling of orders without the necessity of working overtime. I accordingly recommended that the internal revenue stamps known as ^' strip tobacco stamps," of denomi485 486 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. nations from 1 ounce to 16 ounces inclusive, be executed by this method, and, upon submitting samples of this work to the Secretary and to the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, they were approved, and a large quantity of the'stamps of the denominations of 2 ounce and 4 ounce has been printed by this method, delivered to, and issued by the Commissioner. As rapidly as the engraving of the other denominations of strip tobacco stamps can be finished they will be printed by that method also* I t is estimated that the difference in cost between the two methods will result in a saving of $156,941 a year. Work on the addition to the building, recently authorized by Congress, was commenced March 19, 1891, and was pushed forward as rapidly as the weather would permit. The first part of the building was completed and turned over to me July 1, 1891, and the entire building was completed and turned over to me August 29, 1891. As rapidly as portions ofthe building were turned over I had new presses placed therein, and there are now in operation in the new wing 126 hand presses. Since I assumed charge of the Bureau (July 1, 1889) I have added 149 hand presses to its plant. With these additional presses, and the relief afforded by the change to relief printing on the tobacco stamps, I am now able to do all the work required within the regular hours, and the force of the Bureau has, since October 1, 1891, been working but eight hours daily. The large increase in the work of the Bureau has necessitated a corresponding increase in its force. The number of employes has increased from 1,074 at the close of 1890 to 1,246 at the close of 1891, an increase of 16 per cent. The principal increase was in plate printers and assistants, there having been 60 printers and 61 assistants employed during the year. The financial statement for the year is as follows: Appropriations for the year: Salaries Compensation of employes Plate p r i n t i n g . . . . . . - - .

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

SUITS AGAINST T H E UNITED STATES. As directly pertaining tothe duties of this office, I respectfully invite attention to the act of Congress of March 3, 1887, entitled ^'An act to provide for the bringing of suits against the Government of the United States" (24 Stat., 505).© The section of the act to which I wish to invite attention provides: T h a t the district courts of the United States shall have concurreDt jurisdiction with the Court of Claims as to all matters-^n am ed in the precedino^ section where the amonnt of the claim does.not exceed one thousand d<dlars, and the circuit courts of , the United States shall have such concurrent jurisdiction in all cases where the amount of such claim exceeds one thousand dollars and does not exceed ten thousand dollars. All causes brought and tried under the provisions of this act shall be tried hy the court without a j u r y . The result of this extended jurisdiction has been the bringing of many suits in the several district and circuit courts of the United States and Territories against the United States. They arise in every conceivable form, based upon every conceivable cause of action, and are prosecuted alike by officers who are receiviug a salary from the Government and those who are seeking to recover, in many cases, unjust claims against it. 506 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. o Prior to the passage of this act the accounting officers had but little trouble in keeping in line with tbe law as it is found iu the statute and as interpreted by the Supreme Court and the Court of Claims, but with all the district and circuit judges of the States and Territories added, a sharp conflict of opinion can now be found upon the leading statutes on the payment of fees, salaries, and the like to Government officials. This conflict of opinion is extremely embarrassing to this officCo The desire is to administer tbe laws in their letter and spirit, and to the entire satisfaction of the officials who are interested, and to the Government, which is to pay the bills. Tbis can be accomplished when, there is no conflict of opinion as to what the statute means. The whole trouble arises from the fact that the courts do not understand and interpret the statutes alike. A few illustrations upon this point will make my meaning clearer than any words I can use. It was held in the Wallace case (116 U. S. R., 398) that a charge for docket fees was proper when made by a circuit court commissioner, who was directed by the court to keep a docket This was contrary to tbe holding of the accounting office for all time, so far as any evidence can be discovered. Tbe attention of Congress was invited to the decision, and in the act of August.4,1886 (deficiency bill, 24 Stat., 274), that body passed a law declaring that '' docket fees should not thereafter be cbargedo^^ The question came before the courts whether or not the legislation was general, or only had application to the disbursement of the appropriation contained in tbe bill then under consideration. The commissioners contended that tbe act applied to the single appropriation made for that year, while the accounting office.contended that it was general legislation, and tbat after the passage of the act no docket fee should be charged. In the following cases tbe construction given by the accounting office was upheld by the Federal courts s Thornley vs. United States (37 Federal Reporter, 762); Strong vs. United States (34 Federal Reporter, 17); McKinstry vs. United^ States (34 Federal Reporter, 446); Goodrich vs. United States (42 Federal Reporter, 392); Faris vs. United States (23 Court Claims, 374); McKinstry vs. United States (40 Federal Reporter, 819). On the other hand, the following cases held that the legislation was special, and had application only to the appropriation then before Congress, to wits . . c , Bell vs. United States (35 Federal Reporter, 889); Rand vs. United States (36 Federal Reporter, 675); Hoyne vs. United States (38 Federal Reporter, 543); Mcl)ermott vs. United States (40 Federal Repjorter, 217); Phillips va. United States (33 Federal Reporter, 164). This matter was finally taken to the Supreme Court, which court held that the construction given by the accounting office was correct. I t took years to bring about that interpretation, and the controversy tbat attended the administration of that law upon a point so trifling, involving in the aggregate a large sum of money, led to a great deal of criti-» cism and unfriendly feeling towards tbe Treasury Department. Tbis particular statute is but one of many where there is a like diversity of holding among the Federal courts. The same diversity of opinion appeared in regard to complaints and acknowledgments of recognizances before circuit court commissioners, and in regard to the accounts of supervisors of elections, and the fees that tbey should charge and be paid. Taking tbe law in its application to the Treasury Department, it may be said that it creates confusion among officials and among tbose having claims against the Government, and requires almost daily explanation why the holdings FIRST COMPTROLLER. ^ 507 are being changed from time to time. Tbe necessity for a change of ruling grows out of the fact that the courts constantly change their holdings. These illustrations, with many more that might be cited, are sufficient to show how utterly impossible it is for this office to follow the Federal courts in the adjustment of commissioners' accounts. The courts, under this law, have uniformly held that the Government may be sued in the first instance. That is to say, a clerk or a marshal, a district attorney, or a commissioner, after he has earned his fees, need not present his account at the Treasury Department for payment before suit is brought, and thus mulct the Government in costs before his accounts are passed upon. Tbis has been done time and time again, and is being repeated almost every day, notwithstanding the provisions of section 856 of the RevisecJ, Statutes. Such proceedings render it yery difficult for the accounting office to prevent duplicate payments, whicb have in several cases been made. On the other hand, judgments have been obtained in the courts by officials after they had been paid at the accounting officiB. In one instance, recently, while suit was pending, an account duly certified was presented and paid; subsequently judgment was obtained for the same services and was in due course also paid. This double payment was soon discovered, however, and the money recovered. Another dase: A clerk of a United States court brought suit and obtained judgment for several hundred dollars on account of disallowances and suspensions made during the calendar year in which he had already been allowed and paid the maximum compensation fixed by law, and it was only by the most rigid scrutiny of bis accounts that tbe fact was discovered and the double payment prevented. This office has adopted a system of checks, which it is hoped will reduce to the minimum the danger of double payments, but the only safety is in the repeal of the statute itself. If it should appear unwise to repeal the law, it should be so amended, at least, that Government officials sliall be required to present their claims to tbe accounting office for adjustment and payment before suit is brougbt. Then, and not till then, tbey might safely be permitted to sue in the Court of Claims if not satisfied with the adjustment. The official would then be obliged to make it affirmatively appear in court that the item had been presented to the accounting office, and rejected by tbat office, before his case could be heard.. In that way duplicate payments would be prevented. LIMITATIONS. In my last report I invited attention to the propriety of adopting some limitation as to the time when claims against tbe Government should be presented for payment, but no action looking in that direction was taken by Congress. Since that time, however, the Court of Claims, in the case of Charlotte A. Waddell, executrix, etc.,'yi. United States (25 C. Cls. R., 323), has held'that the accounting officers have no right to pay a ^' stale claim"—and tbat the Secretary of tbe Treasury is without power to transmit it under tbe Bowman Act—holding that a stale claim is one that has not been presented for a long period of time, during which time the claimant has slept upon his rights. This case this office has adopted as enunciating the law correctly on the subject. Claims, therefore, that are twenty years pasT; due, unless they are in the 508 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. nature of a trust, are held to be barred and are not allowed. says: Tbe court It has often been said that tliere is no statute of limitations applicahle to claims required to be presented and examined b y t h e accounting officers of the Treasury Department, and t h a t is undoubtedly so. But there is an unwritten law recognized by courts of equity and admiralty in which no statute of limitation is applicable against entertaining and enforcing stale claims. (Speidel vs. Henrici, 120 U.S. R., 387, and numerous cases there cited; Willard vs. Dorr, 3 Mason C. C. R., 161), and t h a t law the accounting officers may rightly invoke and rely upon. A stale claim is one t h a t has not. been presented for payment for a long period of time, during which the claimant has slept upon his rights, and thus created a presumption that the claim was never an honest and just one, and t h a t he has been Avaitiug until it was forgotten by the alleged debtor, and all evidence against it is lost or destroyed. Courts of equity usuallyTollow the law and adopt the statutes of limitation as lixing theperiod beyond which delay requires explanation, and which, unless satisfactorily accounted for, will constitute a bar to demands. We see no reason why the accounting officers may not rightly adopt the same rule. To the endj however, that there may be no misunderstanding on this subject, I respectfully recommend that the attention of Congress be again invited to it. To adopt some reasonable limitation is but to follow the practice of the civilized world. I know of no State in the Union but what has a limitation law, and I know of no State that suffers itself to be sued by any of its citizens. If, tberefore, any one holding a claim against the Government is permitted to sue in the courts (he must bring suit within a reasonable time,-which is fixed by law at a given number of years,) why should it not follow, if he has a demand against the Government and elects to present ft to tbe accounting officers for payment, he should present it within such a reasonable time as would enable the official to determine whether or not the claim is just? Should he be permitted to hold his claim until his remedy in court is barred, and then for the first time present it to the accounting officers for payment*? DOUBLE COMPENSATION. ' ' Secjtion 1763, Revised Statutes, is as follows i No person who holds an office, the salary or annual compensation attached to which, amounts to the sum of two thousand fi\^e hundred dollars, shall receive compensation for discharging the duties of any other office, unless expressly authorized by law. c The fair reading of this statute must leave the impression that Congress intended that when a person holds an office, the salary or annual compensation of which amounted to $2,500, he was well served, and that he should receive no additional compensation for discharging the duties of any other office, unless expressly authorized by Congress. However natural tbis interpretation may seem, tbe departure from it has been so great tbat it is now held that an official may hold two or more distinct offices and draw the salary for each, Tbe Attorne'ys-General themselves do not agree upon the question. Attorney-General Black held (9 Op,, 127) as follows: My conclusion is t h a t no officer of the Government having a salary iixed by law, nor no (any) other officer whose compensation amounts to |2,500 per annum, can receive extra pay for any service whatever, whether it be witbin the line of his duty or outside of it. Nor is it possible for auy such officer to receive the salaries of more than oue office, no matterounder what circumstances he may have performed the duties of more than one. This opinion is injlorsed by several other Attorneys General. On the other hand several Attorneys-General, who stand equally high in the profession, have held that this section and the two succeed FIRST COMPTROLLER. ing sections do not forbid holding two offices at the same time. say: '509 They These sections are intended to fence against arbitrary extra allowances in each particular case; but do not apply to distinct employments with salaries or compensation affixed to each by law or regulation. * * » The plain meaning of this seems to be t h a t an individual holding one office and receiving its salary shall in no case be allowed to receive also the salary of another office which he does 7iot hold, simply on account of his having performed the duties thereof. The prohibition is against his receiving the salary of an office t h a t he does not hold, and not against his receiving the salaries of two offices which he does legitimately hold. This last opioion is concurred in by Attorneys-General Evarts, Cushing and Devens, The opinion by Attorney-General Devens is found in 15 Up,, 306. His language i s : That the evil intended to be guarded against by these statutes, according to the construction given them, was not so much plurality of office as it was additional pay or compensation to an officer holding but one office for performing additional duties or the duties properly belonging to another. If he actually holds two commissions and does the two duties of the two distinct offices, he may receive the salary which has been appropriated to each office. One part of this controversy has been settled by the Supreme Court in what is known as the Saunders case, which is reported in U. S. R,, 120, p. 126, and was decided in January, 1887, Saunders w^as a clerk at tbe Executive Mansion during the last administration, and also a clerk to oue of the committees of Congress at th© same time, neither salary, however, amounted to $2,500 per annum. The court held, after reviewing all tbe authorities bearing on the subject, that he was entitled to both salaries. This case, however, dofes not relieve the whole situation. It does not touch the question where the salary is $2,500 or more, and leaves that still an open question. In this connection I wish to state tbat under the act of Congress passed March 3, 1891, establishing a circuit court of appeals, the court for the sixth circuit, which by law will hold its sessions at Cincinnati, appointed the clerk of the circuit court for the eastern district of Michigan clerk of the circuit court of appeals for the said sixth circuit. This clerk took the oath of office, entered upon the discharge of his duties and has been paid for his services as clerk of the circuit court of appeals. Wben this clerk, however, comes to present his claim for services as clerk ot the circuit court for the eastern district of Michigan, a serious question will arise, whether he can be paid or not. The act of Congress of June 30, 1874 (18 Stat, 109, sec. 2), provides: That every clerk ofthe circuit or district courts of the United States * * * shall reside permanently in the district where his official duties are to be performed, and shall give his personal attention thereto, and in case any such officer shall reraov® from his district, or shall fail to give personal attention to the duties of the office, except in case of sickness, such Q^ce shall be deemed vacant. Just how this official can discharge the duties of the office of clerk of the circuit court of appeals at Cincinnati, and give '' personal attention'^ to the duties of his office in Detroit, Mich,, is difficult to seCo If he does not '^reside permanently in the district where his official duties are to be performed, and give personal attention thereto, his office shall be deemed vacant,'^ is the substance of the law on the subject. Two bodies can not occupy the same space at the same time, nor can one body occupy two places at the same moment. This clerk can not be at Detroit, giving ^ personal attention" to the duties of hir^ ^ 510 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. office located at that place, and at the same time be at Cincinnati attending to the duties of his office as clerk of the circuit court of appeals. I t is physically impossible to give personal attention to the duties at both places, ^ This case, however, is not exceptional. There are many instances in which the same person holds three or more offices. The case of the clerk of the circuit court of the eastern district of Arkansas is oue in point. The same person was clerk of the district court, and in 1889 received compensation as such, the sum of $5,243,55; he was also clerk of the circuit court, and received compensation as such in the sum of $1,047.75, and at the same time was circuit court commissioner, and his fees for the same period, paid to him by tbe United^States, amounted to $3,949.90, making an aggregate compensation of $10,241,10, For the year 1890 he received as clerk of the district court $5,434,65, as clerk of the circuit court $2,095.54, and as circuit court commissioner, $3,053, making an aggregate of $10,583.19 ;' and for the first 6 months of 1891, in tbe same capacities, he received an aggregate compensation of $6,217.48. The clerk of the circuit court of the northern district of Texas is also clerk of the district court and United States commissioner. The clerk of the district court of the southern district of New York is also a United States commissioner and clerk of the court of appeals, and many more cases might be cited of like, character, but it is deemed unnecessary, the only object being to call attention to the fact, and to emphasize it, that, notwithstanding the statute above quoted, it is a common practice for one person to hold more than one office where the compensation of one of the offices amounts to the sum of $2,500 per annum. It is not a question for the Treasury Department to determine how many offices one person may hold, or how many salaries he may receive; that question is entirely with Congress, but it is important tbat the compensation to be paid and the number of offices a person may hold should be clear and well defined to the end that illegal payments shall not be made. In view of the premises I respectfully recommend that the attention of Congress be invited to this subject. There are also many cases where a United States commissioner is paid during the calendar year more than the sum of $7,000, and in some cases tbe amount received by him will amount to more than $10,000, Such payments appear to be excessive, in view of the service rendered, and it is respectfully sug» gested that a limit should be made to the amount that should be paid a United States commissioner for services rendered during a calendar year, and that limit should certainly not exceed the sum of $5,OOOo No reason is known to exist why a commissioner or clerk should receive mor© than the judge of the court. o It must be remembered that these fees are almost wholly paid by the United States and not by the individual. In the figures above given, which have reference to the eastern district of Arkansas, the aggregate paid to the clerk was $27,041,87; of this sum the United States paid $25,743.23 and individuals paid $1,298,64. About the same proportion is found to run through not only the other accounts mentioned but all clerks^ accounts throughout the United States. In the case, however, of United States commissioners the fees are. wholly paid by the United StateSe FIRST COMPTROLLER. 511 COLLECTION OF BALANCES DUE TO THE UNITED STATES. I repeat the suggestions and recommendations contained in my last report ou this subject, and respectfully invite your attention to the requirements of sections 3624 e;tse^. Revised Statutes, as to the collection of balances due to tbe United States; section 17j66, Revised Statutes, as' to withholding money found due to any person for his compensation who is in-arrears to the United States, until such person has accounted for and paid into the Treasury all sums for which he may be liable; and the act of March 3, 1875 (18 Statutes at Large, page 481, chapter 149), providing for the deduction of any debt due the United States from any judgment recovered against the United States by such debtor. Duties and obligations are devolved upon the accounting officers of the Treasury by the statutes referred to, a practical compliance \vith which is not possible under the system of account keeping of the Treasury Department. This is because the accounting officers charged with the duty of collecting balances due to the United States and withholding sums found due to persons who are indebted to the Government are not in possession of the necessary information. Accounts are kept by the Second, Third, Fourth, and Sixth Auditors and the Register of the Treasury, and there is no system of concentrating the balances on their respective books or of informing all the accounting officers regularly of the balances remaining on the books of such oflicers. For instance, a balance may be standing on the books of the Second, Third, Fourth, or Sixth Auditor against some person who has been in the Government service at some time and whose accounts were kept by some one of these auditors and the same person is again in the Government service in a different capacity, whose accounts in the latter capacity are kept by some other of the auditors or the Register of the Treasury or vice versa; balances may appear on the books of the Register of the Treasury of which the auditors have no official information, and thus balances may be and are paid to parties on the adjustment of accounts who are at the same time indebted to the United States on the books of some other bureau of the Department. The object of the statutes is impossible of accomplishment and the Government is a loser. Large sums are lost annually, wiiich could and ought to be saved to the Government, for want of a system of reporting regularly all balances due to or from the United States, on any of the books of the Treasury, to the Secretary, for the information and assistance of the accounting officers. The necessity for some such system is emphasized by the act of August 8, 1888 (25 Stat., 387), which is a statute of limitation against the Government's recovery of indebtedness from sureties on the bond of the debtor, unless suit be instituted within five years after statement of the account by the accounting officers of the Treasury. It is due alike to debtors and their bondsmen that they be informed promptly of any balance that may be found due from them to the United States, and the information upon which the accounting officers' action is based should not be uncertain or accidental, as it is and must necessarily be, without some such system as above.suggested. I would therefore earnestly recommend that the Register of the Treasury and the Auditors who are charged with keeping accounts be required to report at least once in each year all balances due to or from the United States on their respective books to the^ Secretary of the Treasury, under such rules as he may prescribe. I would further suggest and recommend that final balances or balances on final accounts be specially indicated, or that such reports be confined to fi7ial balances if the sam© 512 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. can be done with certainty; and that these several reports bb arranged and consolidated and indexed alphabetically in such manner that each and every balance appearing- in such report would be referred to in connection with the name and office of the person from whom or to whom any balauce is due, and that copies thereof be furnished to each of the accounting o^cejs of the Treasury Department for tbeir official information and assistance in the discharge of their duties. INDIVIDUAL DEPOSITS FOR SURVEYINGr PUBLIC LANDS, I deem it important to invite your attention to the present condition ofthe fund or appropriation denominated ^ Deposits by individuals for ^ surveying public lands," Tbis fund had its origin in section 10 of tbe act of May 30, 1862 (12 Stat,, 410), now section 2401 of tbe Revised Statutes, which provides ^that where the settlers in any township or townships, ^[not mineral or reserved by Govsrnment^^^ shall desire a survey of the same under tbe authority of the surveyor-general of the United States, and shall file an appiication therefor in writing, such settlers shall deposit, in a proper United States depository, to tbe credit of the United States, a sum sufficient to pay for such survey, together with all expenses incident thereto, without cost or claim for indemnity on the United States^ By a resolution of Congress approved July 1, 1864 (13 S t a t , 414), now embraced in section 2402 of the Revised Statutes, it is provided that the deposit of money in a proper United States depository, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of law, shall be construed to be an appropriation of the sums so de^posited for the objects contemplated in the law, and the Secretary of tbe Treasury is authorized to cause the sums so deposited to be placed to the credit of the proper appropriations for the surveying service. It is also provided in the resolution referred to (now section 2402,'Revised Statutes) that any excess in the sums so deposited over and above the actual cost of the surveys, comprising all expenses incident thereto, shall be repaid to the depositors, respectively. It will be thus seen that the fund or appropriation arising from deposits by individuals in theomanner provided was created for the sole purpose of paying all the expenses ofthe respective surveys of lands ^^not mineral or reserved," and expenses incident thereto, and for refunding any excesses in deposits to the respective depositors, Auy balance remaining to the credit of this fund or appropriation, if correctly kept, must represent unpaid expenses of surveys for which deposits have been made, and unpaid excesses of deposits by individuals. It could not therefore be reasonably expected that the balauce to the credit of the fund w-ould at any time be very large. Furthermore, by the act of March 3, 1871 (16 Stat., 581), now section 2403, Revised Statutes, and by subsequent amendments (act''of March 3, 1879, 20 Stat,, 352; act Aug. 7, 1882, 22 Stat., 327), the deposits by settlers for the expenses of surveys desired by them shall go in part payment of the lands situated in tbe townships, the surveying of which is. paid for out of such deposits, and tbe certificates of deposit, which are made assignable, shall be received at the land office at which the lands so surveyed are subject to entry. This legislation practically cuts ofl* any claims for refunding excesses of .deposits, since the total amounts deposited in eacb individual case are mad© receivable in payment of th© lands purchased^ FIRST COMPTROLLER. 513 I find, however, that the fund or appropriation for ^ deposits by in^ dividuals for surveying public lands" has been annually increasing upon the books of the Treasury. On the 3(th of June, 1890, the balance remaining to the credit of this appropriation was $792,892. 59 The amount of deposits during the fiscal year ending June 30,1891, was. 131,422.80 .Total..„ Expenditures from the appropriation during the fi seal year 924,315.39 94,896.84 Balance to credit of appropriation J u n e 30,1891 829,418.55 It is manifest that the enormous sum remaining to the credit of this appropriation does not represent unpaid expenses of surveys of lands " n o t mineral or reserved by Governnient," for which deposits have been made, aud unpaid excesses of deposits, and that deposits have been covered in to the credit of this appropriation without warrant of law. Although the statute expressly refers to lands "not mineral or reserved by Government," and the appropriation for " deposits by individuals for surveying public lands," among the permanent indefinite appropriations enumerated in section 3689 of the Revised Statutes, cites the same words ('' not mineral or reserved "), it has been the practice for years past to cover in to the credit of this appropriation amounts deposited, pursuant to regulations prescribed by the General Land Office, to cover the expenses of the surveys of mining claims. This practice is, in my judgment, wholly unwarranted by law. I find nothing in section 2334 ofthe Revised Statutes, or in the acts of May 10, 1872 (17 Stat., 95), and May 5, 1876 (19 Stat., 52), from which said section is taken, that gives any color of authority to the practice which has prevailed. On the contrary, the plain reading of said siBction seems to be that the expenses of the surVeys of mining claims are to be paid by the applicants, and that each applicant shall file with the register of the respective land office a sworn statement ofthe expenses so paid, to be forwarded to the Commissioner of the General Land Office for his information. The large balance which remains to the credit of this appropriation is a constant menace to the public treasury, and an invitation for the presentation of illegal and fraudulent claims, which are sometimes pressed to payment. As a marked instance, reference may be made to the payments of additional amounts on a number of old claims of deputy surveyors, coming under the ap~propriation in question, which I am informed were made during the years 1886 and 1887, notwithstanding the fact that the original claims had been long previously settled, and the full amounts deposited by the respective settlers had been paid in the first settlements. The additional payments referred to have been characterized, and 1 think justly so, as irregular and illegal. I learn that the sole ground on which tbe additional payments were urged and finally allowed was that tbe balance then to the credit of the appropriation for deposits by individuals was very large and amply sufficient to pay the claims of the deputy surveyors in full, without regard to the respective amounts which had been deposited by the settlers to meet the expenses of the surveys. I find that the practice has prevailed and still exists of charging to this appropriation a large portion of the contingentexpenses and clerk hire in the offices of surveyors-general for some of the States and Territories, on the ground that such expenses and clerical services relate to mineral surveys. x\s Congress provides specific appropriations Fi91 33 514 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. for the contingent expenses and clerk hire in the offices of the several surveyors-general, the practice of trenching upon the appropriation for "Deposits by individuals" for contingent expenses and clerk hire is, in my judgment, contrary to law, and I shall in the future decline to allow such charges under this appropriation. I respectfully recommend that this matter be brought to the attention of Congress, with the request that proper authority of law be granted for covering back into the general treasury the large balance now standing to the credit of the appropriation knownas "Deposits by individuals for surveying public lands." It is believed that the' accretions to this appropriation arising from deposits made, and to be made, subsequent to the beginning of the current fiscal year will be sufficient to meet any legitimate demands payable from said appropriation. SALARIES OF DISTRICT JUDGES. By the act of February 24, 1891 (26 stat., 783), the salaries of the several judges of the district courts, after the date of the passage of the act, was fixed at the rate of $5,000 per annum. Congress, however, failed to make the proper appropriation for the remainder of the fiscal year 1891, and as a consequence the judges could not be paid for the period commencing February 24,1891, and ending June 30 of the same year, at the new rate. The attention of Congress should be invited to the subject, to the end that the proper appropriation may be made. EXTRA WORK. Owing to the refunding of tobacco taxes, the increase of accounts occasioned by the taking of the census, and the payment of the sugar bounty, the force in this office was required to work extra hours for some two inonths. This matter I will make the subject of a future communication. .^ It is with pleasure that I commend the Deputy Comptroller and other persons employed in this Bureau for the faithful and intelligent manner in which they have discharged their respective duties. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, A. C. MATTHEWS, Comptroller, The SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. (No. 7.) KEPORT OF THE SECOND COMPTROLLER. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, > SECOND COMPTROLLER'S O F F I C E , - Washington, D. 0., Octoher 15, 1891. S I R : I have the honor to submit the following report of the transactions of this office forthe fiscal year concluded June 30, 1891, together with a comparative statement of the work done the previous year, and the present condition of the public business.

The clerks have been faithful in their duties, and yet some of the divisions of the office are behind in their work. Four additional clerks have been provided, to commence at the beginning of the next fiscal year (July 1, 1891), and, although not a sufficient number for the prompt examination of all claims, yet will greatly facilitate matters. ' The Second Comptroller finally settles all claims and accounts coming from the Second, Third, and Fourth Auditors of the Treasury. The number of clerks on the rolls of the office during the year was 59, the same as the year previous. The work of the office is done by seven divisions, known as the Kavy Division, employing 5 clerks; Army Paymasters' Division, 6 clerks; Army Back-pay and Bounty Division, 9 clerks; Army Pension Division, 9 clerks; Quartermasters' Division, 9 clerks; Indian Division, 4 clerks; Miscellaneous Claims Division, 10 clerks, and 7 chiefs of divisions, making in all 59.

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

Under current rulings, if a claimant dies after the certification of his claim the balance due belongs to his estate and is l)ayable to his legal representatives or heirs at law. If he dies prior to the settlement of his claim'the arrears of pay, and such bounty as he had actually earned, go to his estate or heirs at law, but other classes of bounty go only to statutoryoheirs. As this ofiBce is rarely notified of the death of claimants whose*^^^cases are pending it frequently happens that balances are certified and checks issued in favor of deceased payees for bounty to which their heirs are either not entitled at all or are entitled to only a portion thereof. Hence new adjustments have to be made, based upon the facts and evidence presented by those claiming as heirs ofthe soldier or as heirs of the payee of a check, as the case may be. P A Y M A S T E R ' S DIVISION. The duties of this division are to audit and adjust the accounts of army paymasters; to state accounts in favor of the Soldiers' Home for the monthly contributions of 12J cents by enlisted men of the Army, court-martial tines, forfeitures by desertion, etc.; to keep a record of deposits by and repayments to enlisted men, to determine the longevity^ status of oofflcers of the Army, to raise charges against officersfor overpayments, erroneous musters, etc.; to transfer to the Third Auditor's books such amounts collecited by paymasters as have not already been deposited and passed to the credit of the proper appropriations on books of the Second and Third Auditors, and to make such settlements, of a miscellaneous character, as are incidental to the general work of the division. The work performed during the year is showii by the following' figures: Number of accounts on hand J u l y 1, 1890 Eeceived from the "Paymaster-General during the fiscal year 1891 l^O 37& Total to be accounted f o r . . . . . . ,-41^^ Nuraber of accounts examined, stated, and transmitted to the Second Comptroller. 422 O n h a n d J u n e 30, 1891 . . , . . „ " 66 548 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The records of 43 officers have been examined for the purpose of establishing dates on which longevity pay accrued under acts of June 18, 1878, and February 24, 1881, and the decisions of the Supreme Court in the cases of the United States vs. Tyler and United States vs. Morton. The record of deposits by enlisted men, under act of May 15,1872, shows that 5,973 deposits were made since last report, amounting to $344,259.37, and that 8,093 deposits, amounting to $494,495.26, have been withdrawn, upon which the depositors received $48,941.63 interest. The amount involved in 422 paymasters' accounts and 192 miscellaneous settlements was $15,141,186.06, as follows: Amount disbursed by paymasters, as per audited accounts $14,993,743.15 Amount certified to be due the Soldiers' Home on accourit of contributions (12| cents per month), fines and forfeitures by sentence of courts-martial, etc -,..I l l , 550.31 Amount transferred to the books of the Third Auditor's Office on account of subsistence and quartermaster's stores, transportation furnished soldiers on furlough, etc^, also transfers on Second Auditor's books to adjust appropriations. .' 29,952^61 Charges raised against officers for overpayments, erroneous musters, etc • 136.45 Credits on account of overpayments refunded and charges removed ou satisfactory e x p l a n a t i o n s . . . . --°99!02 Payment of transportation accoun t s . . . . . e 5,704.52 Total.... :J Letters recei v e d . . . . . . .

Thirty-six paymasters were on duty, so that the 68 monthly accounts on hand, unsettled, represent a period of about 2 months. The adjustment of this class of accounts is more nearly up to date than it has been since 1861, although it involves considerably more work than formerly, for the reason that the accounts of deserters at large are now settled in this division and the amounts forfeited by their desertion ascertained in the current examination of paymasters' accounts instead of being left for future consideration. > ' ORDNANCE, MEDICAL, AND MISCELLANEOUS DIVISION. With the exception of paymasters' accounts, all army disbursing accounts rendered to the Second Auditor are audited in this division 5 also the accounts of the Natioual Home for Disabled Yolunteer Soldiers, and the military accounts of the disbursing clerk of the War Department; aiso claims of a miscellaneous character, namely, claims under special acts of Congress; claims for material furnished the Ordnance Department; for refundment of bounty money taken from soldiers under General Orders 305 of 1864; for refundment of money erroneously paid to secure exemption from draft, etc. The book records of payments to officers of the regular and volunteer armies are kept in this division, and transcripts from said records are furnished when required by other divisions. I t also has charge of the files of settled ordnance, medical, and miscellaneous accounts from 1817 to date. 549 SECOND AUDITOR.

All other disbursing accounts are practically up to date. ' INDIAN DIVISION. The general duties of the Tndian division are to audit the money accounts of Indian agents and other disbursing officers of the Indian service, and the claims of contractors, employes, etc., for supplies furnished and services rendered; also to examine and finally dispose of the property accounts of Indian disbursing officers, and to keep records of contracts for supplies and deliveries thereunder, so that any article can be readily traced from the place of purchase to its destination. This division has charge of the files of settled accounts and claims pertaiuing to the Indian service and furnishesto the Attorney General and to the prbper courts such information and documentary evidence as may be found in said files touching suits against the United States. It also makes transcripts of the accounts of Indian disbursiug officers in cases where it is necessary to bring suit for balances found due the Government. 550 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The work of the division is indicated by the following statements: Money accounts. 439 1,012 386 824 17 3, 702 1,451 1,020 1.2)0 8J3 3,719 3,687 431 On hand Inly 1,1890 Received during the year Total Audited and reported to the Second Coijaptroller..

Amount of claims allowed Claims. $3,098,521.40 4,753,957.79 7,852,479.25 Total amount of disbursements allowed The term "accounts" as above used includes both the quarterly accounts rendered by disbirsing officers and ihe " explanations "filed by them in modification thereof to remove items suspended in settlement. The following anab sis is therefore added to exhibit the status of each of these species of accounts on June 30, 1891: Cash. Property. Quarterly Explanaaccounts. . tions. In process of examination Waiting examination Total Quarterly accounts. Explanations. Total. 59 193 48 131 . 43 197 42 115 102 252 179 240 157 828 Oci() The number of quartery accounts on hand July 1, 1890, was, cash, 266; property, 249. The examinations are therefore more nearly up to d a t e t h a n then ; a result very gratifying, ^as the work of the division has been greatly retarded b y t h e backward condition of the Indian service, consequent on thp lateness of the date at which the appropriations for the fiscalyear 1891 were made, occasioning a corresponding delay in the completion of contracts. The number of accounts of all kinds on hand June 30, 1891, was 860, against 842 on June 30,1890, and the number settled in 1891 was 5,520, against 5,173 in 1890. T lus it appears that though there are on hand, of all classes of accounts, 18 more than a year ago, yet the division made 347 more settlements than last year. When the newer members of the force shall have acquired a little more experience there will be no difficulty in bringing th(3 settlements as nearly up to date as practicable. The accounts of 136 disbursing officers are now in the current files, so that the unsettled accounts average but one and a half quarters m months) for each officer. With the present clerical force it is believed that next year's work will result in very materially reducing the arrears, if not in completely removing thrm. The number of letters written was 3,829 ;Hpages copied, 3,770. Transcripts and information have been furnished to the Court of Claims in 23 cases, and to the Attorney-General and Solicitor of the Treasury in 4 cases. 551 SECOND AUDITOR. P A T AND BOUNTY DIVISION. To properly consider and dispose of the large amount of business devolving upon it this division is practically subdivided into six branches, or sections, namely : (1) The registering branch, by which all claims for arrears of pay and bounty that have accrued since April 13,1861, are received, registered according to regiments or other independent organizations, and sent to the files of claims awaiting examination. After being certified by the Second Auditor and Second Comptroller, the claims again pass through this branch in order that the number of the certificates may be entered on the claims' register, thus completing the record. Letters of inquiry concerning claims either settled or pending are necessarily referred to this branch for information as to date of filing, number of certificate, &c. (2) The examining branch, by which such evidence as may be necessary to complete claims is collected and scrutinized. When completed, if there appears to be anything due from the United States, the cases, after passing the board of review, go to the settling branch for adjustment. In cases where formal settlements have not previously been made, and it is evident that nothing is due the claimants, settlements disallowing the claims are made in this branch and reported to the Comptroller for his action thereon as required by law. In cases where formal settlements have already been made a u d i t is apparent that nothing further is due, claimants are so notified and the papers are filed with said settlements. (3) The settling branch, by which all claims passed by the examining branch and reported correct by the board of review are formally adjusted by certificate settlements and reported to the Second Comptroller. (4) The correspondence branchy, in which inquiries relating to settled claims, and all letters from members of Congress in regard to claims, whether open or settled, are answered, and the miscellaneous correspondence attended to, including the writing of letters to claimants and attorneys notifying them of the settlement of their claims. This branch also transmits certificates to the Paymaster-General for payment, and keeps the necessary records showing under what heads of appropriations balances have been certified. (5) Branch in charge of open and disalloiced files.—These files consist of claims awaiting evidence to be furnished by claimants and attorneys, claims awaiting action by the examining and settling branches, claims summarily disallowed by the Auditor prior to January 1,1882, and not since called up, and claims which have not been completed by the parties in interest and are regarded as abandoned. (6) Branch in charge of files of settled claims.—These files consist of claims for arrears of pay and bounty which have been formally certified by the Second Auditor and Second Comptroller since 1832. The following is a record of last year's work: E X A M I N I N G BRANCH. Classes of claims. White soldiers.

With regard to the claims reported as ^^referred elsewhere" (8,724 and 429=9,153) it should be explained that three classes are included under this head, namely, (1) claims which are actually sent out of the office or referred to other divisions; (2) claims that have already been formally settled, leaving nothing more due to the claimant—the claimant is so notified and the papers are filed with the settlement; (3) claims that have been suspended for more than 3 years for material evidence required to complete the cases, and in which no reply has been received from the claima it or attorney. Cases of the latter cla.ss, which constitute the majority of those reported as "referred elsewhere" are regarded as abandoned and are tratfsferred to the disallowed files. Some of these may, eventually, be revived by the receipt of new evidence, but the great mass of them will never be disturbed. Of the 58,237 pending June 30,1891, 46,771 were original claims, the remainder being cases in which settlements have heretofore been made. but which have been pr; ctically reopened under recent laws, and cases already settled, in whict new applications have been filed by the soldiers or their heirs DIVISION FOR INVESTIGATION OF FRAUD. It is the duty of this division to examine and investigate all cases in which fraud, forgery, unlawful personation of claimants and w^itnesses, disputed questions of heirship and identity, irregular practices of attorneys, etc., are involved, and to take the necessary steps, through the officers of the Department of Justice, to recover any moneys that may have been improperly drawn from the Treasury and to punish, the offenders. Thenumber of cases on hand June 30, 1890, was 1,995; number referred to the division d uring the year, 1,106; making a total of 3,101 cases for consideration; 1,686 have been disposed of, leaving 1,415 cases on "hand June 30, 1891, IS follows: Cases of white soldiers in w^tiich settlements have already been made by the accounting officers . . . i ------^ Cases of white soldiers in which settlements have not been made Cases of colored soldiers setnled „..,... Cases of colored soldiers unsettled : Total. 150 45 880 340 1,415 SECOND AUDITOR. 553 During the year 18 cases were prepared, for United States courts and 63 for the secret service division of the Treasury Department. Abstracts of facts were made in 303 cases. The sum of $333.16 was recovered from persons to whom it had been improperly paid; judgments were obtained for $345.92, and fines were imposed by United States courts amounting td $1,000. Letters written, 6,792. P R O P E R T Y DIVISION. This division examines and settles all accounts of clothing, camp and garrison equipage, and has charge of the files of such accounts, both settled and unsettled. Said accounts are uot reported to the Second Comptroller; therefore the action of the property divisionJs final. On the call of the pay and bounty division and the Third Auditor, and on the request of the officer concerned or his representative, this division issues certificates as to the indebtedness or nonindebtedness of officers who served in the armies ofthe United States, both regular and volunteer, since^the organization of this office in 1817. These certificates cover all accountability for ordnance, ordnance stores, etc., up to 1871, and all responsibility for clothing, camp and garrison equipage. It is a part of the duty of this division to see that officers of the Army who fail to satisfactorily account for any article embraced in their returns df clothing, etc., promptly pay the value thereof. The number of returns of clothing, camp and garrison equipage on hand and unsettled June 30,1890, was 1,999 Number received during the year , 3,854 Total..... Number settled and placed in permanent files for preservation . . ^ . . f 5,853 4,215 O n h a n d , uusettled, June 30,1891 1,63d As about 1,200 officers render quarterly returns of clothing, etc., the number on hand is equivalent to I J returns per officer, and the work is as nearly up to date as it is desirable to bring it. When an officer is relieved from duty his returns can not be properly settled until the next quarter's accounts have been sent in by his successor; hence it is necessary to defer the examination of many accounts until later returns have been rendered. "• ' The number of vouchers examined during the year was 44,164; letters received, 5,072; letters written, 2,409; letters recorded, 1,577; certificates of nonindebtedness issued, 3,756. I deem it proper to invite attention to the subjoined extract from the report of this office for 1887, which was also inserted in the report for 1888: Prior to 1871 this division was charged with the settlement of property accounts or returns rendered by Aruiy officers responsible for ordnance, ordnance stores, and supplies, but on December i9,1870, the Secretary of War directed that such returns, after rigid examination by tlie Chief of Ordnance, should be filed in the Ordnance Office, and not transmitted to the Treasury. As the act of March 3, 1817 (section 277, Revised Statutes), makes it the duty of the Second Auditor to receive aud examine all accounts relating to military stores, it may be questioned whether such property accounts as have received only the rigid examination of the Ordnance Office have been adjusted in accordance with law. (See 13 Op., 483.) DIVISION OE INQUIRIES AND R E P L I E S .

Copying and repairing rolls.—On N^ovember 1,1890, the work of eo^ying and repairing worn and defaced rolls and vouchers was transferred frora the archives division to this division. Since that date 1,184 single vouchers, 3,400 muster ind pay rolls, 30 discbarges, 185 sheets of paymasters' abstracts of payments, and two large registers of payments (over 700 pages each) have been repaired, and 1,214 pages (48,942 lines) of rolls have been copied and compared. Card indexing.—The work of card indexing the records of payments to enlisted men of vol inteers has rapidly progressed and is nearing completion. All cards covering payments to enlisted men from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Dakota, District of Columbia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiaua, Maine, Massachusetts, ISTebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, ISTew Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon,.Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas,Yermont,Yirginia, Washington, and West Yirgi lia, and more than one-half of Delaware, Marylaud. New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania have been assorted and are in daily use. A large number of erroneous entries in the registers have been corrected from the vouchers On April 1, 1891, the card indexing of payments to enlisted men of volunteers absent from their commands in hospitals, parole camps, etc., was commenced About 400 bundles of paymasters' accounts have been examined, in which 368 rolls, covering 8,813 payments made in the early part of the war, were found and indexed. Comparatively few SECOND AUDITOR. 555 men were absent in hospitals, etc., in 1861 and the early part of ,1862, and the rolls above mentioned are, theiefore, not in great demand; but the card indexes so far made have proved of use, and when all payments of the character referred to have been indexed a great saving of time will be accomplished, and, what is of equal if not more importance, the wear and tear of one class of muster and pay rolls, already much dilapidated, will be considerably reduced, If not altogether obviated, and there will be less necessity for copying and repairing such rolls. On June 1, 1891, the work of registering payments to officers of the regular Army was transferred to this division. Up to that date these payments were registered in the ordnance, medical, and miscellaneous division in bound volumes specially prepared for the purpose. The card-index system has now been adopted, and payments made to officers of the Army since December 31, 1890, will be registered upon cards instead of in books. At the same time a card index will be made of payments, since said date, to discharged enlisted men. Heretofore no record of such payments has been kept in this office, the Pay Department having been depended upon for information on this subject. The total number of payments card-indexed during the year was 508,434, as follows: From records transferred from Paymaster-General's Office From pay rolls (hospital, e t c . ) . . . From current accounts of paymasters Total , 497, 410 8,813 2,211 508,434 Current worh.—The current work of the division is well in hand and has been kept so all through the year. There has not been a day when all inquiries on hand at the close of business could not have been answered within 24 hours. MAIL DIVISION. The general duties of the mail division are to carefully examine, stamp, assort, and distribute the entire incoming mail of the office, including all papers received from the Second Comptroller's Office, the Indian Office, the War Department, etc.; to inspect the outgoing mail and see that errors or irregularities are corrected ; to answer all letters not relating to claims on file, and to dispose of or properly refer all letters, clairas, etc., which do not pertain to this office. The incoming mail is generally distributed within an hour after its receipt. The system devised for examining and dispatching the outgoing mail is such that nearly all letters are mailed the day after their date. , Letters received: General mail Departmental mail ; 97,259 123,515 Total.... 220,804 Letters, etc., forwarded : General 'mail Departmental mail Total..

It withdraws from the files such vouch ers as are required by the settling clerks in other divisions, and returns them to their proper places when no longer required. The duties of the division incidental to the care of the files are sufficiently indicated :n the following report of the work performed during the last fiscal year Paymasters' accounts received from the Pay Department.

The number of the paymaster's voucher has been added to the record of payments, w hich much simplifies the work of withdrawing papers from the files. The record now shows at a glance the company and regiment to which payinent was made, the period embraced in each payment, the paymaster's name, the file number, the number given to the account by the Pay Department, and the number of the voucher. The rearrangement and renumbering of vouchers was found to be necessary in consequence of some paymasters having several series of vouchers in the same account and several series of numbers on the same abstract, which caused both delay and confusion. More than half the time of one clerk has been occupied in furnishing muster and pay rolls for the use of the record and pension division of the War Department and ih rendering assistance to clerks .of other divisions of this office who were searching for information required in the transaction of curren t business. THE OLD ARMY DIVISION. This division adjusts (Jjlaims for arrears of pay and bounty which accrued prior to April ^13, 1861, also claims of sutlers, post traders. , laundresses, company tailors,, and others in whose favor stoppages were entered upon the muster rolls and deducted from the pay of soldiers under the old regulation^ of the Army. It settles the accounts of the Soldiers' Home for monejys belonging to the estates of deceased soldiers and remaining unclaimed for 3 years, and for such arrearages of for 557 SECOND AUDITOR. feitures by desertion and by sentence of court-martial as have accumulated since March 3, 1881. It has charge of the records of claims filed and payments made prior to April 13, 1861, and from these records supplies such information as may be called for either by claimants or by other divisions of this office. It also keeps the list of attorneys and claim agents authorized to practice before the Treasury Department, and furnishes information toother divisions, when required, as to the standing of such attorneys and agents.

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

The formal settlement of this large mass of worthless claims not only cost the Government tens of thousands of dollars which might just as well have been saved by the summary rejection of every demand where there was prima facie evidence of full payment, but it also delayed the adjustment of a large number of accounts where balances were really due 560 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. the claimants. As the^e is no check upon the presentation of claims for arrears of pay and l30unty the Auditor must continue to receive and examine all such claims as have accrued since the organization of this office, in 1817, and mustjformally submit them to the Siecond Comptroller, with the vouchers pertaining thereto for his action, as required by law and the decision above mentioned. If: the soldier or his heirs have already been paid in full a simple statement of that fact will not suffice. In the words of the Second Comptroller, "if the balauce is nothing the law requires it to be so certified, and the account, vouchers, and certificate are to be transiaitted to the Comptroller." In my judgment a law which requires the formal certificate of two accounting officers to the fact that a soldier has been paid in full is susceptible of amendment, and I suggest that section 277 of the Revised Statutes may properly be so modified as tolauthorize the Second Auditor to disallow claims for arrears of pay and bounty in cases where the muster and pay rolls or other records of his office show that the soldier or his heirs have received all they are entitled to under the law; provided that if the claimants are dissatisfied they may, within 6 months, appeal to the Second Comptroller, ottierwise the Auditor's action shall be deemed final and conclusive audi be subject to revision only by Congress or the proper courts. IMPORTANT INDIAN RECORDS. The tendency of legislation on Indian affairs is towards the policy of conferring upon Indian tribes the right to seek an adjustment of their landed aud monetary rlelations with the United States through the courts. Thus the act of March 3, 1881 (21 Stat., 504), authorized the Court of Claims to take jurisdiction of and try all questions of diff'erence arising out of treaty stimulations with the Choctaw ISTation; the act of March 3,1883 (22 Stat., 585), authorized the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to institute a suit in the Court of Claims to determine their right to moneys, stocks, and bonds held by the United States in trust for the Cherokee Indian'^; the actof October 1, 1890 (26 Stat., 636), allows the Sbawnees, Delawares, and Cherokee freedmen to bring suit in the Court of Claims to recover moneys alleged to be due them jointly and severally, and under the "Bowman Act" (22 Stat., 485) matters in dispute between the United States and the Chickasaw and Creek Indians have been referred to said court by the Secretary of the Interior. It is probable that in the near future this will become the settled policy of the Government, and it will therefore be incumbent upon the Second Auditor to furnish the courts and the Attorney-General with complete information, as far as possible, as to the expenditures of appropriations made in fulfillment of treaty stipulations since 1817, in order that it may be determined whether the treaties have been carried out, or to what extent their stipulations remain unfulfilled. Por this purpose the files of settled accounts in this office will have to be depended upon, but the information contained in said files can only be obtained after long and careful examinaltion, and even then there is no absolute certainty that all necessary information will have been extracted from the records. The law, however, makes it obligatory upon the Auditor to furnish the Attorney-Genjcral, without delay and within a reasonable time, a full statement in writing of all facts, information, and proofs in his possession or knowledge touching any claim brought against the United States in the Court of Claims. (Sec. 188, Kevised Statutes.) . The accounts, as formerly kept, on the ledgers of this office do not show in all cases the sums appropriated for particular tribes, nor were SECOND AUDITOR. 561 appropriations always made for the tribes specifically. Thus the act OfMarch 3, 1843 (5 Stats., 612), appropriated $1,472,773 " for the fulfill^ ment of treaties with the various Indian tribes " for a period of eighteen months. In other cases where specific appropriations were made for. each tribe the gross amount appropriated was brought on the ledgers under the general head of "Fulfilling treaties with various Indian tribes." In such cases the only mode of ascertaining the facts necessary to determine questions raised in the course of judicial proceedings is to examine the accounts of the superintendents and agents to whom the funds were advanced, as well as the accounts of other agents and subagents to whom they were often transferred for expenditure—a process which will involve the critical revision of several millions of documents filed away in thousands of settlements. I estimate that it will require the services of ten clerks for one year to make a proper record of payments under Indian treaties. Such a rexjord will be of the greatest service, and will eventually save many times its cost. CARD INDEXES VERSUS BOOK RECORDS. Eeference has been made in previous reports to tbe transfer of 1,551 registers of payments to volunteers from the Pay Department to this office, and to the fact that instead of rebinding, recopying and correcting said registers, many of which were in a dilapidated condition from long and constant use, I had decided to adopt the card index system in use in,the Record and Pension Division of the War Department. The work, w^hich was assigned to the division of inquiries and replies, was commenced January 27, 1890, and it was estimated that 650,000. cards would be requiied. Up to June 30,1891, payments to discharged enlisted men from twenty-six States and Territories and to about onehalf of the men from five other States had been carded, the total number of payments being 640,984. I t is expected that the work will be completed .before 1892.' A year's experience with the card-index system has demonstrated its superiority over book records. Where it would take from fifteen minutes to an hour to find a payment on the registers received from the Pay Department, the same payment can be found on the card index in noj} exceeding two minutes. The work of searching for payments in the book records now takes two clerks. When all the cards are completed one clerk will be able to do all the searching in three hours a day -, iu other words, one clerk will do in three hours as much as two clerks can now do in one day. This fact speaks for itself and requires no comment. The application of the card index system to one class of book records having proved so satisfactory, I have extended that system in several directions and anticipate equally good results. The want of a record of payments, to enlisted men absent in hospitals, on detached service, in parole camps, etc., has long been felt. Payments to commissioned , officers, to regiments, companies, batteries, detachments, and, generally, to all separate commands, were duly recorded. Payments at hospitals and camps of parole wer^ also recorded under the name of the hospital or camp. But as the payees on the muster roll of paroled prisoners of war, say at Camp Parole, Annapolis, Md., might belong to several hundred different organizations, the knowledge tliat all paroled men at that camp were paid for a certain period was of little service in any individual case unless it was first ascertained that the man w hose claim was beiug adjusted was actually in said camp during that period. FI 9 1 — 3 6 . 562 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Itherefore decided to have a card index made of all payments to individual enlisted men abseit from*their commands, and the work is progressing favorably. When completed two desirable results will have been attained—the time required to find a payment to an individual volunteer soldier will be reduced to a minimum and the wear and tear of old muster rolls and vouchers will be obviated. A register of payments to officers of the Regular Army has heretofore been kept in book, form, the entries being made as soon as possible after the receipt of the accounts from the Pay Department. The vouchers were withdraw! from the paymasters' accounts, assorted by regiments, etc., reasserted alphabetically, and, after being recorded, again reasserted in theii original order and returned to the accounts. After due consideration it appeared to me tbat this time-honored system might be profitably superseded by a simple system which would dispense with the reiterated assortment of vouchers, and involve much less work. Hence the card-index system has been applied to all payments made since tbe commencement of the present calendar year. At the same time a card record of payments to discharged enlisted men ofthe Regular Army has been commenced, no record of such payments having previously been made in this office. Under the regulations of the Treasury Department, made in pursuance of the act of July 7, 1884, a list is kept of attorneys and agents authorized to practice before t i e Department. As a matter of supposed convenience thirteen copies were made for use in diff'erent parts of the office. They have all been discontinued, and in place thereof a card index is kept in the old army division which furnishes without delay and with very little labor such information concerning attorneys and agents as may be needed by the other divisions. The list now contains nearly 5,000 names and is constantly increasing. Respectfully yours. J. K. PATTERSON, Auditor. The SECRETARY OF T H E T R E A S U R Y . ^ (No. 11.) EEPORT OF THE THIRD AUDITOR. ' ' TREASURY D E P A R T M E N T , O F F I C E OF THE T H I R D A U D I T O R , Washington, D. C, July 1, 1891. S I R : The annual report for the fiscal year just closed is certainly a gratifying exhibit ofthe work of this office. There is, and will continue to be, a steady increase in the volume of business,* for the assignment of departmental duty 4s such that the accountings examined are in direct touch with the growth aud development of the Republic. Tbe military, river and harbor, and pension appropriations represent in the examination of the vouchers of expenditure an infinite detail of careful supervision; and only by close application and expert experience can certainly be demonstrated a faithful and legal disbursement ofthe immense revenue so liberally allotted for these purposes. Entering into the expenses of the Armj^ and the river and harbor improvements is the transportation account, and this involves, especially with the Pacific railroads, a laborious and careful comparison of schedules and charges, and apportionment of percentages under the law to the Goverment, that is tedious in its detail and requires, proportionately more clerical labor. In addition to thenatural growth of thelist of pensioners, the act of June 27,1890, has added a very large number of the veterans of the war for the Union to the roll of honor. The increase in the pension work of this office in the past three years is nearly 100 per cent. It now requires a force of ten clerks to record the monthly additions of certificates. During the past year a corps of eleven clerks has been continuously employed in making new rolls. It will be necessary to keep a detail of clerks constantly employed in the preparation of new records. An account is kept with each pensioner; so some abstract idea can be formed of the magnitude of the labor and the care necessary, to the end that tbe sacred purposes of the pension appropriation shall be shown to haye reached the honored beneficiaries of the country's gratitude. The exhibits referring to the pension disbursements are comprehensive in statistical data, and will be found of special interest. The reimbursement section is growing, and must continue to grow as the ranks of the old soldiers are decimated by the touch of death,. The work of the office is not behind; each division is practically on current labor, and I doubt not will be able to continue this record the coming year without any increase of force, other than the five clerks of Class E authorized by the Fifty-first Congress. 563 564 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. During the year past [I consolidated the miscellaneous division with other divisions of the oince, and experience has proved that it expedited the work. In the coming year I shall consolidate the collection division. The labor of this office divides on four natural lines, and I hope to arrange the duties of the divisions to conform to this practical business demonstration. Too m ich organization is not only cumbersome, but, aside from creating supebfluous places, retards rather than expedites the work. The coming fiscal year I will be able to consolidate the horse claim division, and instead of having seven divisions, as in 1888, meet the increased duties with four divisions, • I desire to specially cbngratulate the force of this office for its industry and conscientious discharge of duty. The record of results, as will appear in the tabulated statements of division work, is a worthy compliment to their faithfulness. There are 141 employes coniiected with this office. The time lost by sickness duiing the year past amounted to 1,131 days. The lollowing clerks died during theyear: French, A. R., October 14, 1890. Mohl, Frederick, March 28, 1891. Montague, P. H., September fl, 1890. Peake, James B., October 31, 1890. Pope, William, Kovenber 13, 1890. The number of resignations were three: H. Y. Cooke, July 31, 1890; Minnie 0. Moreau, September 16, 1890; C. A. Rodgers, S e p t e m W 10, 1890. • . . The following were changed by appointment and transfer: terookings, Edward J., transferred from War Department, January 13, 1891; Bartlett, Miss S.

H., transferred from Life-Saving Service, April 2, 1891. Promotions made during the year: Thomas' Kee, from clliss E to class 1, August 30,1890; H. H. Seltzer, from class 1 to class 2, November 24,1890; Miss J. A. Somerville, from class D to class E, Se])tember 6, 1890; Mrs. M. J. Wallace, from class 1 to class 2, August 30 1890; Miss Hannah M. Whitney, from class E to class 1, October 20, 11890; Thomas C. Clark, from class E to class 1, October 21, ,1890. In the estimate foil the next fiscal year, an additional assistant messenger will be asked for, and one less chief of division. The present clerical force will be adequate. 565 THIRD AUDITOR. HORSE CLAIMS DIVISION. The beginning of the end ofthe horse-claim industry is very happily within vision. The presentation of new claims is barred alter August 13, 1891. Of the class of losses considered by this division there have been since the war about 21,000 horses paid for. Of the 5,014 claims on hand gow nearly one-half have been awaiting calls for additional evidence, or, in cases growing out of the Mexican war, for proof of loyalty. In some of the claims post-office addresses of claimants have been lost. The pension files are frequently examined in the effort to supply this deficiency. No court would permit its docket to be weighed down with dead causes, and so the practice will be adopted hereafter, in the settlement of horse claims, of rejecting without prejudice all cases where no attention has been given for 5 years. This policy will very much facilitate the disposition of the present accumulation during the coming year. Number. Claims.

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

Also the amount of $94 was paid as fees to examining surgeons for surgical examinations made during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891. CONDITION OF BUSINESS. You will observe that material progress has been made by the different divisions of the office in bringing up the work heretofore iu arrears. In every division the claims and accounts on hand unsettled is considerably less than at the end of the preceding fiscal year. While recent pension legislation has materially increased the work of at least two divisions of the office, and while the increase in the clerical force has not been commensurate with the increased labor as a result of such legislation, yet I am happy to be able to say that the work has been kept up by the present force to a satisfactory degree. The number of letters of inquiry from theJPension Office unanswered a few months ago was over 6,000, covering a period of over six months. At this writing the number has been reduced to less than 3,000, covering a period of less than three months. Unless there is a material increase in the number of inquiries, which I do not anticipate, I am satisfied that this class of work will be fully up to date before the end of the present calendar year, aud at that time a part of the force now eng'-iged upon it can be assigned to duty in the paymaster'^ divrnQaj tbe work of wliioli is now somewhat iu arrears, 590 REPOET ON THE FINANCES. The work of the paymaster's division requires the highest order of clerical ability, hence my recommendation in the " Estimate for salaries, 1893," that the two $800 clerkships should be abolished and one $1,600 clerk be allowed in lieu thereof; one such clerk will be of more value to the office than two $800 copyists. I have every reason to believe that before the end of another year the work of every division will be iip to date. Too much can not be said in commendation of the efficient chiefs of the different divisions of the office and their able corps of clerks. They have been faithful, attentive, and industrious, and they fully merit ail the words of commendation that can be bestowed upon them by the head of the office. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, J O H N E . LYNCH, Auditor. Hon. C H A R L E S F O S T E R , Secretary of the Treasury, (E"o. 13.) EEPORT OF TBE FIFTH AUDITOR.

SIR : According to your instruction under date of the 2d ultimo, I have the honor to hereby submit to you the annual report of this office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891. The following is a statement showing the character and amount ot the work performed: Accounts adjusted 38,695 Reports made to the First Comptroller 8,387 VoucKers examined 530,954 Amount involved in adj ustments |686,449,546.22 Reports copied 1 9,083 Letters written 3,638 Coupon books of internal-revenue stanips counted 38,975 Coupon books of internal-revenue stamps scheduled 37,811 Letters copied by band 589 Comptroller's certificates copied 8,409 Invoice and debenture certificate numbers posted from returns of collectors of customs (section 4213, Revised Statutes) 393,059 Consular-fee reports proven 2,469 Pages of consular-fee reports tabulated „ 18,216 Drafts examined for payment .„ 1,113 The accounts shown to have been adjusted are more than three times the number ordinarily settled annually by this office in the regular course of business. The excess consists almost wholly of 27,372 claims for rebate of revenue tax on tobacco and snuff, which were settled during the last four months of the fiscal year; while these claims were simple compared with the other accounts settled in this office, they entailed a very large amount of extra work. The regular business of the Bureau was thereby necessarily retarded, the extra work coming upon a clerical force whose common duties were already adequate to their strength. But I am gratified to be able to report that by close application to business, and by working during extra hours, the lost ground has been recovered and the work is now up to its customary status ^of completion. I appreciate the interest manifested in the public business connected with their desks, by the clerks of the office, and commend them for the industry and alacrity with which they have prosecuted their labors. The results of the system of checking consular fees from customs returns (section 4213 of the Eevised Statutes, the work of which appears in two captions of the above statement) are quite satisfactory. A considerable amount of fees is annually saved to the Treasury by the detec- 591 592 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. tion and correction of errors and omissions in fee returns and of practices tending to deprive the Government of its revenue. Th© matter to which my letter to you, of the 25th of June last, related, was one of the results of the workings of this system in this Bureau, in which itwas discovered that goods ostensibly shipped through this country to a foreign destination were being entered largely for consumption in the United States, the official fee of $2.50 required by law for exportations to this country, for each consular certification to an invoice, being in these cases retained by the consul as a notarial or personal fee, under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Mosby vs. the. United States (133 U. S. Eeports, 273), in which the fees for certification by United States consuls of invoices for goods in transit through the United States to other countries were declared to be unofficial fees and as belonging to the consul. You were pleased to lay the subject before the Department of State on the day following the receipt of my letter, and thereupon, on July 17, 1891, that Department issued a circular to the consular officers of the United States, in which the following conclusions were reached and instruction given: This discovery leads to the belief t h a t the obtaining of a consular invoice for goods shipped ostensibly in transit through the United States to some other county is prima facie evidence of an intent to dispose ofthe goods in tjje Uuited States if it be found on arrival there to be advantageous to do so. A shipment nominally "for transit," but with the option of sale in the United States, and so documented as to enjoy the privilege of entry for consumption as well as for transit, should be regarded and treated as an export to the United States, and the fee for certifying the invoice should be turned into the Treasury as official. The fee for an invoice of goods shipped for transit through the United States is unofficial only when the goods are shipped bona fide and absolutely for transit, without any arrangement for the contingency bf a sale in the United States. You will be held to account for the fees in accordance with this instruction. I have construed this circular to mean that in all cases where a certificate to an invoice is procured from a consular officer of the United States the fee therefor shall be returned to the Treasury as official, without regard to the alleged destination of the goods; and those officers are being so instructed when the subject is adverted to in their correspondence with this Bureau. It seems to be the only practical arid safe solution of the question, the difficulty being to ascertain in each case the final disposition of the goods. Neither the assertion of the shipper nor the writing upon the invoice that the goods are " for transit'Ms a guaranty of the absolute carriage of the merchandise through and out of the United States. There will now follow in the order of the divisions of the office some exhibits resultant upon the adjustments of accounts and claims and suitable remarks thereon, and at the end of the report will appear the customary appendix, tables lettered from A to K, showing in detail the condition of the public business to which they relate. DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR DIVISION. 0 Diplomatic service.—The accounts of ministers and other officers of the diplomatic service have been adjusted, showing (Table A of the Appendix) expenditures and passport fees for theyear, as follows: Paid Paid Paid Faid for for for for salaries of ministers ". $288, 297.54 salaries, secretaries of legations • 31,302. 20 salary, clerk to legation in Spain ,.-....

The total of salaries and expenses for this service is greater than "that reported for last year, the excess being principally on the contingent expenses, foreign missions, which exceeds the amount for 1890 by $18,857.62. . .. • • • There are six legations for which the salary accounts of the ministers have not been received for the quarter ended June 30. Tbese are pointed out in Table A of the Appendix. The appropriations for salaries, charges d'affaires ad interim, $20,000, and loss by exchange, diplomatic service, $2,500, have each been exceeded, the former by one-third and the latter by more than double the amount appropriated.

The remainder is for *'salaries while receiving instructions and in transit" and " salairies, consular service," for the former of which an appropriation was made for this year for the first time, the appropriation for '' salaries, consular service," having heretofore had to bear the extra compensation incident to instructions *and transits in addition to the regular salaries while at post. The new appropriation is_a step in the right direction, and the need therefor had been a subject of remark in the annual reXiorts of this office for a number of years. It was suggested in the report of this Bureau for the fiscal yeai" of 18S7 that an annual j)ermanent jriOl38 UL 594 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. appropriation should be made to cover the payments to consular officers while receiving instructions, awaiting the receipt of their exequaturs and making transits The new appropriation does not include the payments for time while awaiting the receipt of exequatur, w^hich it would seem proper for it to do, as the payments made for time thiis employed duplicate with the regular salary of the officer in charge of the post, as in case of payments for instructions and transit salary. Three appropriations have been exceeded b y t h e expenditures reported in the above summary, viz : "Salaries, consular officers not citizens," *' loss by exchange, consular service " and " contingent expenses, United States consulates." Consular fees.—The consular fees collected for official services are stated in detail, as to the character and amount at each consulate, in Table H of the Appendix (page 619), and aggregate, in kind and amount, as follows: Invoice certificates Landing certificates Billsofhealth ..'.

The invoice fees are short in amount of those received last year by $55,285.50 ; which, at the rate of $2.50 per invoice, would show 22,114 fewer dutiable importations of foreign goods into this country during the year. v Belief of seamen.—As shown in Tables F and G ofthe Appendix, accounts lor relief and wages of seamen were adjusted with the follovying results: Board and lodging Clothing... :......

"The amount of relief reported for last year (1890) was $38,277.75, while the number of seamen aided was 1,174, and for the year before (1889) $34,813.19 were expended for 956 seamen. I t is suggested whether the disbursement of a smaller sum for the FIFTH AUDITOR. 595 care of a larger taumber of seamen may not indicate greater attention by consular.officers to the duty of freeing their cousulates as soon as possible ofthe subjects of relief, and thereby lessening the amount of expense per capita. The average amount of expense per head was $25.30. The three largest amounts paid for relief by consular officers for the year°were at consulates in Nova Scotia, namely: At H a l i f a x . . . . At Pictou At Yarmouth '. $4,411.09 2,523.47 2,446.04 inclusive of amounts paid at the Treasury for certificates of transportation issued at those offices, the whole aggregating nearly one-third of the total relief afforded seamen, and the men receiving it, numbering 511, amounted to nearly one-half of the whole number relieved duping the year. And it is worthy of notice that while such heavy relief is granted*by these consulates, the seamen's wages collected by them are insignificant. I t may be stated also that the seamen receiving relief at these and neighboring points are mainly fishermen, and many of them appear in the reports to have been simply lost from their vessels, a condition considered unfavorable to relief, at least of the nature of clothing.

G O SIXTH AUDITOR. 631 Eeference was made in the last annual report of tbis office to tbe reorganization of the Bureau, the changes adopted in the manner of executing the work of auditing postal accounts and the consolidation of records, and a statement was made of the results expected therefrom in economy of labor and expedition of business. It aft'ords me pleasure to state that the test of a year's experience has fully demonstrated the practicability and value of the changes made. Under the system now in use all postmasters in the United States were advised prior to September 30,1891, and in advance of the preparation of their returns for that quarter, of the state of tjieir postal accounts as audited to June 30,1891, and this office is enabled on this date, October 10, 1891, to submit to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the Postmaster General a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the postal service for the last fiscal year, a result not heretofore attained, and one hardly possible to exceed under a system of quarterly accountability. The change of methods has proven equally satisfactory in point of improvement, in correctness of work, and in the earlier collection of debit and payment of credit balances. The gain has been no less in efficiency than in promptness. An important advantage resulting from the iml}roved system has been experienced in the preparation duringthe present year, without the least interference with current work, of the large mass of material furnished by this office for the publication of the Official Kegister of the United States, which formerly required a detail of ten or fifteen clerks for several months. The work of the several divisions engaged upon the accounts of money-order business and those for mail transportation is in a satisfactory condition. Arrears of work in some of tbe divisions have been fully brought up to date, so that settlements of accounts are made with promptness. A change of assignment has been made, whereby the ''checking'' or comparison of money-order statements with their vouchers is perfgrmed by the checking division, and all '^ assorting and numbering "of money orders and postal notes by the ''assorting" division. The offices of the money-order divisions have been transferred from the building known as Marini's Hall to the handsome and commodious Busch Building, on E street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, iiiimediately opposite the Post-Office Department, where the employes of those divisions enjoy a degree of personal couifort and official convenience unknown to thein during the history of the Bureau. The steel file and book cases adopted for the Busch Building, upon my recommendatioUo and through a special appropriation by Congress, have proven most valuable for compactness, ease of access, and security afforded to contents. It would be highly advantageous to have the system of these files adopted throughout the office. 1 renew the recommendation made in my last annual report to the efi'ect that inasmuch as the ''Busch Building" is occupied wholly by employes of the Treasury Departmient it should be placed in the custody and under the control of the Secretary of the Treasury^ I strongly urge your attention to this recommendation, with a view to procuring the necessary legislation. This request does not imply any dissatisfaction .on the part of this office with the present management of the building, for all reasonable wants are supplied and the building is well cared for in all respects. I desire the change simply on the ground that, in my opinion, the head of the Treasury Department should exercise control over all the buildings occupied exclusively by Treasury employes. There can be no better argument for continuing the present 632 ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. control than could be found for transferring the custody of the offices of the Second Auditor to the War Department, or those of the Fourth Auditor to the Navy Department. I desire to acknowledge my appreciation of your kind advice and assistance in my official duties, and of the unvarying courtesy constantly extended to this office by your Assistant Secretaries and all the officers of the Department. Whatever of utility and value I have been enabled to accomplish has been due to the aid and support I have received from my superiors, and to the admirable devotion to the public interest displayed by all the officers^and employes of this office throughout a trying year of hard labor. Eespectfully submitted. t B. COULTER, • Sixth Auditor, Hon. CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary qf the Treasury. (1^0, 15.)

There were no deliveries of surplus unissued bonds to the destruction committee during the year. The Avork in this division, during the last year, has been made unusually lieavy on account of the large redemptions of the 4 and 4J per cent loa^ns, especially in August, Sejitember, and October, 1890. A very large amount of extra work fias also been occasioned by the prepayment of interest upon the registered 4 per cent and Pacific Eailroad bonds. Prepayments were made for tfie great bulk of the interest due on these loans January 1, April 1, and July 1, 1891. G-reat care was required to accurately distinguish between prepaid and nonprepaid bonds, so as to avoid errors in transactions; and other precautions of like n at ure were constantly necessary. The following table shows the amount of principal upon which interest Avas prepaid on registered bonds, at each of the dividends mentioned: Loan. 1907 Consols . . . .

The work Avas undertaken in January, 1889. The card system was adopted. I t is proposed to make a card for every account open upon the ledgers in this division, with such cross references as shall show the name of every party or corjioration Avhich appears upon the face of any bond. Eacfi card will show all the various places upon ledgers of the same loan, or of different loans^ where an account may be found bearing the same title as is written at tfie head of tlie card, and will obviate the necessity of searching througfi many volumes, of indexes to ascertain the same facts. A large number of cards have also been prepared in the case of foreign names, so that a person unaccustomed to the usages of foreign lands in regard to surnames may " readily find any name which may be called for. So far as comi^leted, the cards have all been arranged for reference. 640 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. NOTE, COUPON, AND OCTRRENOY DIVISION. (Number representing average force employed, 45.55; cost, $51,544.48.) Details of operations in this diAdsion appear on examination of tables 1 to 15, botfi inclusive, appended hereto. Table 1 shoAVS the redemption of gold certificates, act March 3,1863,currency certificates of deposit, act June 8, 1872; coin certificates, act July 12, 1882; 4 per cent refunding certificates (payable to order), act February 26, 1879, and 7-30 Treasury notes of 1864 and. 1865; in the aggregate, 4,468 vouchers, and amounting to $63,530,220, . Table 2 gives a statement of interest checks, various loans on hand, received, counted, and registered during the fiscal year. There is a decrease of 35,301 cfiecks in the count, and 42,741 in the registration and examination, this being due to the various purchases of registered bonds, and the prepayment of interest on 4 J per cent registered bonds, which naturally occasioned a corresponding decrease in receipt of checks. Table 2a gives the places of payment of interest checks, Avith numbers and ainounts summarized. Table 2b gives the total number of interest checks received and on file in this diAdsion to June 30, 1891. Table 3 gives a statement of transactions in redeemed detached coupons, showing, as comj)ared Avith last year, a decrease in receipts, in counting and verifying, in arranging numerically, and in examining; while tfiere appears an increase in the number entered in numerical registers? This decrease of work is attributable to the frequent temporary transfers .of counters to the currency section of this diAdsion, to meet exigencies there, and has also been affected by occasional details for special work in the offices of the Treasurer and Commissioner of Internal Eevenue. Table da shows the places of payment of aH redeemed detacfied coupons of various loans received within the year. Table 3& is a statement of transactions in redeemed detached coupons as compared with those of last year. Table 4 shoAvs that up to the close of the fiscal year there has been received in this division a grand total of .97,105,449 detached and redeemed coupons, amounting in value to $1,198,013,075.42. Table 5 shows that in the receipt of coupon bonds, Avith coupons attached, there has been a decrease of 4,730 bonds, of $1,456,350 in value, as compared with receipts last j^ear. Table 6 shows work done in the currency section of this division, by way of receipt, count, cancellation and destruction of A^-arioiis GoAT^ernment securities, including United States notes, gold and silver certificates, fractional currenc}^, and redeemed internal-revenue stamps. The . record for this year shows an increase, in receipts^ of 5,084,406 pieces, and, in amount, an increase of $20,970,928.35^, as compared with last year. . Table 7 gives an itemized account of various statistical matter counted, examined and destroyed, sfiowing an increase of 254,115 sfieets and 12,049,398 internal-revenue stamps so handled and destroyed. Table 8 sfiows current work performed in different files rooms.' There has been an increase of 2,947 in the number of accounts received for file; a decrease of 11,472 in accounts withdraAvn from files; an increase of 786 pages transcribed for suits; an increase of 3,791 pages certified for suits in court; and an increase of 14,0§6 in the number of AA'^arrants received for file. REGISTER. 641 Table 9, the only stationary table in the report, shows the total number and amount of coupon bonds exchanged, redeemed, transferred, and destroyed up to March 10,1881, when destructions ceased by order of the honorable Secretary of the Treasury. ' Table 10 shows that on June 30, 1891, there was on file in this division a grand total of exchanged, redeemed, and transferred coupon bonds numbering 1,860,378, Avith attached coupons numbering 53,605,121, and representing a value of $1,072,100,750. Table 11 is a consolidated recapitulation of tables 9 and 10, giving the total number of coupon bonds received at any time in this division up to June 30. 1891, and including both those destroyed and those on file; from which it appears that this division has received coupon bonds numbering 4,223,463, witfi 130,447,249 coupons attached, and representing a value of $2,493,788,200. Table 12 makes mention of certain coupon bonds, which, after registration and scheduling in this division, have been delivered to the loans division of this office for furtfier examination. Table 13 shows number and amount of coupon bonds destroyed statistically.

IMPROVEMENT I N CONDITION OF F I L E S . Tfie work of rearranging, classifying, and numbering tfie files under the custody of this division has progressed very commendably. During the year, in compliance with an act of Congress, all of the intermal-revenue stamp stub books and old papers of dates embraced within the limits of the act, and weighing nearly 185 tons, were delivered to purchasers, thus effecting a gain of about 23,000 cubic feet of files space, the great relief experienced from whicfi being only offset to a small degree by tfie granting of 1,406 cubic feet of space to tfie Life-' Saving Service and office of tfie superintendent. The registration of old accounts, of Avhich no record had been made, has been continued to the extent of 30,441, being a slight increase over tfie amount of similar work performed last year. It is thought the whole registration will be completed during the present fiscal year, thus forming a valuable addition to the records of this Bureau. The compiling of an alphabetical list.of 6,041 printed and manuscript books in the custody of this division, has consumed considerable time, Fr91 41 642 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. but the list includes many old records, Avorn and torn, tfie accumulation of years, from other offices of the Department, wfiich were not even knoAvn to fiave been in existence until found in the progress of this work. Under the autfiority of Congress and tfie rules adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury, the agents appointed by tfie governors^ ol Arkansas, Georgia, NoTtln Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia fiave been furnivshed, during the year, witfi all books, papers, etc., necessary to enable them to make a complete copy of any and all matter relative to their respective States, in regard to refunding the direct tax collected in 1865 and 1866.

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

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

All the other loans of the Government, from 1836 up to 1885, OA^er twenty in all, including the cQinxDound-interest notes and the Pacific railroad bonds, were at 6 per cent interest. A number of montfi's Avill be required to complete tfie interest statement, and as soon as this is done AVork Avill be commenced on the premium and discount accounts. E X P E N S E S OF NATIONAL LOANS. The work is progressing very satisfactorily on the accounts in relation to the expenses of the GoA^ernment loans. The work from 1860 to 1875 and from 1875 to 1885 has been completed and copied in book form, and ready for printing, shoAving as follows: 1860 to 1875 1875 to 1885 • Total $32,785,269.45 6, 429; 804. 74 -39,215,074.19 These figures differ slightly from tfie amounts fieretoibre given, but tfiese are made after all corrections, and are undoubtedly rigfit. The stateinent in detail is classified under fully one fiundred and twenty different fieads. I t covers every item of expense, from the paper used and commissions paid, doAvn to photograph material and lAn^ used by the GoA^ernment. The record shows that for this purpose, among the larger items of expense, there Avas paid by the Government:Salaries ^ Commissions Engraving ancl printing Exjiress charges Pax^er, including stationery Total '! $12,32.5,569.45 7, 393, 895. 98 5, 978,447. 00 2,553, 524. 38 1,423,123.59 29,674,560.40 The balance of the items, over one hundred in all, are composed of such as gas, coal, type, hardware, lumber, repairs, etc. The amount of expenses betAveen the years 1835 and 1860 is being calculated, and the schedules are made up, though not yet corrected and compared; but the footings, Avhich are approximately correct, show that these expenses amount to $650,382.81, to which add $39,215,074.19 and Ave have a grand total of $39,865,457 from 1835 to 1885. All the work, after being copied, should be printed for convenience and preservation. I t is doubtful if a more difficult task in figures was ever undertaken, but tfiat it is being successfully accomplisfied is certain. REGISTER. - 647 Tfiere have been examined OA^er fifty tliousand vouchers, and a greater numberoof accounts, some of the latter being of great length and variety of items; and in making up our items and scliediiles, the numbers of accounts and voucliers fiave been preserved for reference thereto wfien desired. Tfie discount and premium account, of Avhich at present little can be said except that it is extensive and difficult, Avill receive attention as soon as the Avork laid out is completed; and we apprehend a reliable statement thereof can be made. In justice to the clerks of the division, it should be stated that, in addition to the vast amount of;work they have done on the accounts, the diAasion, small as it is, responded to a call made upon it by the Eegister to meet an* exigency in^the dispatch of public business, and by the close of the fiscal year examined and put in typewritten form, ready for issuing drafts over 25,000 claims for ^^Eebate of tax on tobacco'^ under act of December 15,1890. Respectfully submitted. JOHN H . KING, Chief of Division of Interest and JExpenses of Public Loans. Hon. W. S. ROSECRANS, Eegister ofthe Treasury. C L O S m a OBSERVATIONS, In closing tfie foregoing summary of the operations of this Bureau, for the past fiscal year, it seems proper to submit such observations as especially deserve tlie attentive consideration and action of tfie head of the Department, to whom the law has given a Treasurer to receiA^e and pay out all moneys for the Government and a Register to keep ac- • count thereof. OUTLOOK FOR THE VARIOUS DIVISIONS. The receipts and expenditures branch of tfie Register's office must grow with the growth of the country's business. That of loans depends on the A^olume of transactions in United States bonds, and its force varies with the volume of them. The note, coupon and currency division depends on the receipt of interest checks and annual redemptions of notes, coin certificates, fractional currency and otfier evidences of public debt, received, counted, r.egistered, scfieduled, and filed away or destroyed. C A T A L O a U I N a OF F I L E S . Tfie custody, preservation and fiandling of public files of accounts and papers, and cataloguing them so as to assure prompt and certain reference to them, will still require much labor on the part of a steady force of skilled clerks before all the files of tfie Bureau are rendered promptly accessible for immediate securing of information tfierein. PRESENT PERIL OF RECORDS. The files, valuable as tfiey may be, now in custody of this Bureau, are stored partly in six basement rooms and six attic rooms of this building, and in five basement rooms in the Winder building. 648 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. " About one-tenth of tiiem are in files room A, in this basement, in fire-proof cases, on iron sfielves, closed by iron doors. All tfie rest, tfie preservation of wfiich is so imperative, are kept on Avooden shelves, in bundles tied by twine cords or tape, wfiicfi soon decay. They are exposed to, and are suffering from, the gnawing of rats, mice, cockroaches and other vermin and insects; and to decay and fire. Tfie ex]Dosed ends of bundles from 60 to 90 years old fiave begun to crumble, so as to destroy tfiem as records. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN RECORDS. e All accounts kept in the Treasury Departinent ougfit to be tfiorougfily catalogued, filed flat, and retained in proper sfieet-metal cases. There should be legal provision for regularly segregating those files not likely to be useful in current work from those lilcely to be called for, cataloguing and removing the former to a suitable i)lace to be known as a hall of records. Those files wfiicfi fiave ceased to fiave pecuniary or historic value, after thorough cataloguing, should annually be sent to the macerating tank to be made into pulp and sold. Should the fionorable Secretary of the Treasury so will it, tfiese suggested improvements in filing could be effected, gradually, at a comparatively smaU outlay. Tfie new system ougfit to embrace flat filing, for reasons given on page 15 of the Register's Report for 1890. A R E N E W L OF IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS. To avoid repetition reference is fiere made to pages 16 and 17 of my report for 1890, in wfiicfi tfiere are set fortfi reasons for tfie ibllowing improvements: (1) Making correction of certain entries; and (2) the creation, in this office, of a diAdsion wherein shall be kept final balances of accounts and details of cost and expenses of all public buildings and grounds. Tfiese improvements fiave been considered of such impdrtance as to call for annual mention in the Register's reports, for the last five or six years, and no Senator or Representative wfio fias looked into tfie matters is known to fiave exiDressed any dissent from tfie views setting forth the great desirability, and even necessity, of such business-like legislation; on the contrary, many of eacfi fiave favored siicfi views; and tfie only explanation for tfie non-accomplisfiment of tfie needed legislation, seems to lie in tfie stronger pressure of numerous otfier" matters upon tfie attention of Congress, and tfie absence of sufficiently active and definite efforts in favor of siicfi legislation on tfie part of its friends. I t is believed tfiat a vigorous recommendation from tfie fionorable Secretary of tfie Treasury would secure sucfi legislation and action as would give tfiese needed reforms, and form an era in tfie fiistory of tfie administration of tfie Treasury Department. Respectfully submitted. W. S. ROSECRANS, Eegister, Hon. CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary of the Treasury. 649 REGISTER. STATEMENTS. LOAN DIVISION.

EEPOET OE THE SUPERYISIMG SPECIAL AGEMT, TREASURY DEPARTMENT^ OFFICII OF T H E SECRETARY^ Washington^ D. G.j November 7j 1891o SIR : I have the honor to submit the'following report of the operations of the division of special agents for the past fiscal year: Number of reports made 5,033 Number qf suits commenced 58 Number of seizures ^ 1,026 Number of arrests for smuggling " 64 Number of customs districts examined 61 Value of seizures : $143, 236.17 Amounts recovered on account of seizures, fines, penalties, and d u t i e s . . $225, 690. 65 Reduction in expenses recommended $321, 920.25 Amount expended for salaries'and traveling expenses of special a.2:ents. $83, 019.54. From these figures it will appear that the special agents ifave been actively engaged during the past year in the detection and prevention offrauds upon the custom^ revenue, and in the examination ofthe books, papers, and accounts of customs officers—duties prescribed for them by law. The supervision of the agents appointed for the care and protection of the seal islands in Alaska, and of the officers for the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion acts, has recently been assigned to this divisioiio As illustrative ofthe methods employed to evade the customs revenue, I mention the following cases, some of which, have been subjects oi newspaper commento 1. Certain French manufacturers of kid gloves, through their American agents, sought to have their goods appraised at less than the true market value, and induced the appraising officers to accept their values as correctc The facts coming to the knowledge of officers of this division, reappraisements were ordered and resulted in substantial advances in values, notwithstanding a bitter contest by the importers, and a large amount of duties was thus saved to the Treasuryo Other importers of gloves, as well as American manufacturers^ were deeply interested in these cases, their business interests being jeopardized by such undervaluationSo 2o One or more dealers in silks and high-class dress goods in Paris had adopted a system of sending agents to our principal cities for the purpose of taking orders from reputable dressmakers for goods to be delivered to them duty paid. The goods thus^ forwarded were consigned to a custom-house broker and entered by him at low values, in some EI 91 54 849 850 REPORT ON THE FINANCES, iustances representing not more than one-fourth of the actual price or market value in PariSo A seizure of a. number of packages of goods of this character was made in FewYork, and it is believed that this class of frauds has been suppressed. 3. I t having been alleged that Canadian dealers were selling goods to American tourists, to be delivered by express, an investigation disclosed that conductors and porters of sleeping cars on lines crossing the international boundary were actively engaged in this system of smuggling. One of them was detected, the goods in his possession seized, and the offender committed for trial. A large number of packages thus smuggled have been traced through the books of express offices, where they were deposited for shipment to destination. I t is believed that the action taken in these cases has had a wholesome Effect in deterring merchant tailors and others in Canada from employing such methods to increase their business, and from the practice which has existed of sending agents to our cities and towns to solicit orders for clothing to be delivered by unlawful means. 4. Frauds upon the revenue, by what is known as the ^^dunimy'' package system, practiced so extensively some years ago, have been revived. A seizure was recently made at San Francisco of imported goods received'there by rail under immediate transiDortation bond from New York. The invoice and entry presented at the custom-house described four packages of cotton quilts of the value of $327.69. One j)ackage was sent to the appraiser's store for examination and the other three were ordered to be delivered from the cars to the importer mthout examination. The package selected for ai^praisment contained cotton quilts according to the invoice, while the others, upon seizure, before >.they reached the importer's hands, were found to contain silks, dress goods, and other merchandise paying high rates of duty of the value of $2,973. The extent to wliich these frauds have been perpetrated is not yet fully disclosed. The records show that the firm implicated has imported more than a thousand cases of goods, and it is probable that a large proportion of the invoices were fraudulent; a searching investigation is in progress, but it is to be regretted that there is no legal method by which an inspection of their- books can be enforced for the purpose of ascertaining the amount due from them to the public treasuiy. I t seems clear that such a system of fraud could not be carried on successfully under the customs regulations except by collusion with the official whose duty it was to designate the packages to be examined. That officer, in the present instance, has been dismissed, and an investigation is in progress for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not sufficient proofs can be obtained to sustain criminal proceedings against him. 5. Evidence has been discovered tending to prove that American liquors exported Avithout the payment of internal-revenue tax, which are ordinarily liable upon reimportation to a duty of 90 cents per galloii, have been manipulated or fortified abroad in such manner as to change their character, and thus render them liable to a duty of 12.50 per gallon imposed by law upon imported spirits. The evidence has been submitted to the proper legal officers, and the questions involved 'will be determined by the courts. The foregoing are typical cases selected from many others upon which the special agents are constantly engaged, and the investigation of whicli has caused the recovery of increased duties and penalties and checked fraudulent practices. This has not been "accomplished without some i ritation and in instances criticism in the public press, inspired doubt SUPERVISING SPECIAL AGENTo 851 less by those whose invoices have been called in question, as well as by merchants of unquestioned integrity who have unadvisedly given ear to the complaints of agents of foreign manufacturers seeking admission of their goods at fictitious values, to the manifest loss of revenue and injury to honest trade, ^ I t is unfortunately true that public officers on account of such opposition a.nd criticism sometimes shrink from the performa.nce of a plain dutyc A special agent who should fail in his duty from such considerations would be unfit for his position, and this reuiark applies to all officers charged with the enforcement of the revenue laws. I t has been the purpose of the special agents under the instructions and regulations of the Department to so perform the delicate and important labors devolviug upon them as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience or embarrassment to business interests, and it is gratifying to note that in their work the,y have had the full confidence and support of successive Secretaries of the Treasury during the past twenty years. But the duties alluded to by no means include all the work performed by these officers. Eegular and systematic examinations made by them as often as once a year of the books, accounts, and methods of business in each of the custom-houses, secure the correction of irregularities and promote the efficiency of the customs service. They have also been called ui)on, under special and confidential instructions of the Secretary, to conduct many important and difficult investigations, requiring the exercise of abiUty, honesty, and sound judgment, and their reports in these cases have been the basis of executive action. The success of the G-overnment in obtaining a verdict in the hat-trimmings case recently tried in Philadelphia, the questions at issue involvving many millions of dollars, was due in large measure to the indefatigable efforts of officers of this division who were assigned to aid the district attorney in the preparation of the suit for trial. One^of the serious questions confr^onting the department in the exercise of its function of collecting the revenue is the great difficulty under present conditions of enforcing the laws against smugglers who make the Dominion of Canada the base of their operations. IJntil within the past few years the long line of fr'ontier from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean needed but little watch care, as the international boundary line ran through a region, some hundreds of miles in width, practically un-' inhabited. 'Now all this is changed; railways running parallel on both sides of the boundary line, intersected by other railways crossing the line, have brought with them population and constant communication between the two countries. There are but four collection districts upon the northern frontier between the Lake of the Woods and the Pacific Ocean, a distance of about eleven hundred miles, each district embracing a large territory. The number of officers for preventive duty upon this long line of frontier does not exceed twenty, and the present customs appropriation will not admit of any material increase of this force. Although these officers are active and vigilant, making frequent captures of smuggled goods, chiefly opium, it is apparent that their efforts to prevent smuggling are, in a large degree, futile. A similar condition of aff'airs exists upon the long boundary line between the United States and Mexico. The district of Puget Sound, comprising many islands within a few miles of British territory and a long.line of water front, furnishes facilities for smuggling and the clandestine introduction of Chinese, against which the customs officers have vainly contended. The revenue steamer on that station, under its present energetic commander, has 852 ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. done good work in checking smuggling,. but this vessel is unfit, on account of her size and want of speed, to render an efficient^serviceo It is believed that it will be necessary to employ a nuimber of speedy steam launches to patrol the waters of Puget Sound in order to break up this illicit traffic. I am reliably informed that during the last year 125,000 pounds of crude opium were imported and manufactured at Yictoria, making about 70,000 pounds ofthe prepared article for smoking purposesf^ and that nearly every pound of it was smuggled into the IJnited States. It is more profitable to take the-risk of an occasional capture and confiscation than to pay the enormous duty of $12 per pound, which is prohibitive of legitimate importations and is the essential basis of the smuggler's profit. Eeduce the duty to $4 per pound and his occupation will be gone. The present arrangement benefits the Canadian government, which collects $1 per pound upon the crude opium used in the manufacture of the prepared article. Our tariff' act of 1890 admits crude opium containing 9 per cent of morphia fr'ee, but imposes a duty of $12 per pound upon opium of a lower grade, such as is used in the preparation of the drug for smoking purposes, the same rate as is imposed upon prepared opium. The practical effect of this is that the revenue formerly derived from imported opium is turned over to Canada and to smugglers. I t were better to declare all opium free of duty than to leave the present laws on the statute book. The enormous profits in opium smuggling, due entirely to the high duty, have induced the employment of large capital and a great number of bold, skillful men to engage in the illicit traffic made so alluring by existing laAvs. But the smuggling of opium is not the only alarming consequence following the opening up of the railways through Manitoba, the Northwest Territory, and British Columbia, The various acts of Congress having for their object the exclusion of Chinese laborers fr'om the United States are practically nullified bythe clandestine introduction of Chinese coming direct from China through the Dominion of Canada. The steamers ofthe Canadian Pacific Eailway Company land Chinese at Vancouver by thousands. The Canadian Grovernment collects a head tax of $50 upon each Chinese person and gives him a certificate which enables him to return to Canada without payment of the tax a second tkne should he be detected in entering the United States. The law provides that any Chinese person found unlawfully within the United States shall be caused to be removed therefrom to the country whence he came, at the cost of the United States, after being brought before some justice, judge, or commissioner of a court of the United States, and found to be one not entitled to remain in the United States. Inasmuch as nine-tenths of the Chinamen caught within our lines near the Canadian frontier come direct from China, although they enter by way of Canada, they have been treated, so far as this Department is concerned, and in accordance with the views of the Attorney-General, as liable to deportation to China as the country whence they came. The act of September 13, 1888, which by its terms would seem to be inoperative until the exchange of .ratifications of the then pending treaty between the United States and China (which was never ratified), contains certain provisions for an appeal from the decision of the commissioner in these cases to the courts! Such appeals havebeen entertained by the courts, and in several cases they have ..given the statute another construction from that of the head of this Department and of the Attorney-General, by deciding that Canada, and not China, was the country whence these Chinamen came^ within the meaning of the law. .The SUPERVISING SPECIAL AGENT o 853 effect of this is that Chinese persons once returned to Canada again enter the country, and repeated instances of this kind have occurred. Thus the object of the Chinese restriction acts is practically defeated. The necessity for a revision of the customs laws, and particularly for a reorganization of customs districts with a view to the abolishment or consolidation of districts in which little or no customs business is done, is shown by the tabular statement of the business of the several districts during the last fiscal year, hereto appended. It will be seen that in thirty-one districts and ports no duties were collected, and in fortythree of them the expenses exceeded the receipts. The decay of commerce in many ofthe old customs districts, coupled with the rapid growth ofthe Northwest and the need for the creation of new ports and districts upon the coast as well as frontier, would seem to demand new and comprehensive legislation upon this subject.

Over $134,000 of this sum accumulated at the port of E^ew York, where more than 78 per cent of the immigrants landed, and is mainly attributable to two causes, viz, the increased influx of immigrants, which added largely to the collections of head money, and the reduced cost for the support and care of immigrants under the management of Treasury officials, as compared with the expenses previously incurred for the same purposes by the Commissioners of Emigration of the State of E"ew York. On June 11, $125,000 was set aside to meet the expenses in the improvements on Ellis Island, leaving a balance of $245,332,52, and it is probable that as much more will be required before the Island can be occupied for immigration purposes. The experience derived from the first half-yearns management of immigration affairs at the port of E"ew York by Treasury officials confirmed the Department in its opinion that joint control by State and Federal authorities was io compatible with the best s.ervice. More prompt and harmonious action was evident, and greater economy was certainly assured. The advisability of terminating all existing contracts with State boards and State commissions seemed to be apparent, though the business was being economically conducted by most of the contracting partieSo 860 REPORT ON TPIE FINANCES.

'.861 Immigration of Portland, Me., e.ach contained a five-year clause similar in all respects to the one quoted, as follows • And the party of the second p a r t shall provide at the hospitals and other public institutions controlled by the State of Massachusetts suitable accommodations for such alien immigrants as shall become sick, or in distress, or Idiotic, or insane, or a public charge for a period not exceeding five years from the time of such immigrants^ landing at their j>ort of arrival in Massachusetts. The Department having determined to change this stipulation in the contracts to one year instead of five, gave official notice, under date oi Eebruary 11, 1891, to each of the contracting parties above mentioned that from March 1 the said clause in the contract would be so modified, and requested them to signify their consent to the change in writing. Prompt replies accepting the modification desired by the Department were received from all the boards notified except the State Board of Lunacy and Charity of Massachusetts, which, after some delay, requested that the proposed change take place one month later, to which proposition the Department did not consent. The contracts being thus modified a uniform period in which aid might be rendered was established at all ports. Meanwhile the administration of the laws by Treasury officers at New York was constantly growing in'favor at the Department, and pending legislation promised to cure some of the existing difficulties which prevented a strict execution of both immigration and alien contract-labor laws. On Mar^ch 3, 1891, the act amendatory to the immigration and alien contract-labor laws which was |)assed late in the second session ofthe Fifty-first Congress, became elective, and the Department at once proceeded to develop by practical tests at the several ports, through the local officials then in charge, what changes if any would be requisite in the local management and what changes in the regulations and instructions should be made in order to insure a thorough execution of the new law. Duringthe months folloAving. immigrants were arriving at all the ports in very large numbers, aud it was. deemed best to strengthen temporarily the hands of the officials at Boston, Baltimore, and Philadelphia by the appointment of additional inspectors at these ports to assist the State boards, rather than at this time make any change which might, during the busy season, interrupt the prompt dispatch ot business. Accordingly contemplated termination of the existing contract system was delayed until June 2, 1891, when the following letter was addressed to the State Board of Lunacy and Charity of Massachusetts and substantially similar ones to the Pennsylvania Board of Public Charities and the State Board of Iipamigration of Maryland: GrENTLEMEN: The agreement entered into by the Secreta;ry of the Treasury, party of the first part, and by the State board of lunacy and charity of Massachusetts, the party of the second part, dated December 2, 1882, contains this provision: '^That this contract may be revoked by either party thereto giving to the other party sixty da^s^ notice in Avriting of their intention to terminate said contract, and v^hen sixty days shall have expired after such notice shall be given this contract shall cease and terminate.^^ In pursuance of the above provision, I hereby give notice t h a t sixty days after this date, t h a t is to say, on the 31st day of July, 1891, the contract above mentioned will be revoked, cease, and terminate, and thereafter the services of the State board of Lunacy and Charity of Massachustts will not be required' in the local affairs of immigration at the ports in Massachussetts. This action is taken in view of the immigration act of March 3, 1891, which in section 8 contains the following provision: ^^All duties imposed and powers conferred b y t h e second section of the act of August third, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, UJDOU State commissioners, boards, or officers acting under contract with the Secreta;iy of the Treasury shall be performed and exercised, as occasion mav arise, by the inspection officers o f t h e United States,^^ 862 " REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The law evidently contemplates, and an efficient admiaistration of the immigration statutes requires, t h a t the management shall be uniform a t aU ports. I tak© this occasion to assure you t h a t this Department highly appreciates t h e fidelity with which the Board has discharged the duties devolved upon it under the contract soon to be terminated. Respectfully, yours, CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary. The most notable events in immigration ma;tters during the paist year were the extraordinarily large volume of immigration to the Ui.ijted States, and the general iaterest manifested by the people during th.e discussion ofthe question in Congress, and by the daily press before and after the passaige of the act of March 3. The general tendency of feeling Avas seemingly favorable to a rigid exclusion of the dangerous and undesirable classes. The alien contract-labor law had not met the anticipations of its most ardent advocates before Congress. Its evasion by persons who desired to import skilled labor, mechanics, or experts at any trade or calling, seemed to be easily accomplished, and convictions for violations of its provisions were rare. A few hundred contract laborers had been detected and returned, but it was generally believed that greater numbers, who had been better tutored, escaped detection and passed to their destinations. As a bar to the admission of cheap labor, which was claimed for the act by many of its friends, it proved almost a complete failure, the cheap class of laborers continuing to flow into the country Avithout hindrance, seeking emplo^nnent after arrival. The act of March 3, 1891, was intended to cure the defects in both the alien contract-labor law and the immigration law. Four months' experience, to July 1, of its operation at the ports of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and a few others of the larger ports has established beyond doubt the feasibility of enforcing with reasonable thoroughness its prohibitive features at these ports. There are, however, a number of minor ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts where preventive measures require to be strengthened. Aii instance of one method of evading the vigilance of the immigration authorities is shown in the case of Holyer Petersen and wife, Avho arrived at the port of New York about May 20 last, and Av^ere,- on tlieir O VL testimony, adjudged to be polygamists, and Avere consequently AT sent back by the vessel which brought them. They returned, however, with, a number of other Mormons, arriving at the port of New York on June 29, but did not attempt to land. On the 2d of July the immigrant inspectors learned43hat the party had been transferred to another steamer, and were en route for Norfolk, Ya., but telegraphic instructions, which were immediately sent to the collector at that port to examine and detain them if found to be polygamists, failed to reach him in time, as the party had landed and started for Utah, via the Norfolk and Western Eailroad, the evening before. But it is apparent from information gathered on this subject from immigration officials, and hereafter quoted, that the majority of undesirable and prohibited immigrants have been entering the United States over the northern border, after haAdng landed at Canadian ports. On April 9 the Department advised the collectors of customs at Portland, Me., Ogdensburg, N. Y,, and other ports on the northern border to the efiect that it was reported that large numbers of immi' grants from European ports were coming to Canadian ports, thence across the border into the United States, in consequence of the additional restrictions imposed by the act of March 3 and the more rigid C H I E F OF MISCELLANEOUS DIVISION IMMIGRATION, 863 inspection at the port of New York, and requested them to report whether such statements were true. On April 13 the collector at Portland, Me., reported that on March 27 the steamship Garthagenia arrived at that port Avlth 43 immigrants, having previously landed 100 at Halifax^ that on March 30 the steamship Sarnia arrived there with 30 immigrants, having i3reviously landed 600 at Halifax; that on Aj^ril 7 the steamship Parisian arrived with 74 immigrants, having landed 1,000 at Halifax; that on April 10 the steamship Oregon arrived with 15 immigrants, having landed 494 at Halifax. The folloAving remarks are quoted from the report of the secretary of the Commissioners of Immigration at Portland, Me,, covering the fiscal year ending June 30: The steamers t h a t make this their landing place bring less than one-sixth of their passengers to this p o r t ; t h e others they land at Halifax,- and the great bulk of them do not stop in Canada, but come directly to this country by railroad. More than this, for nearly seven months in the year a great number of steamers enter the St. Lawrence River, bringing a very large number of passengers who seek homes in this country. We think it safe to say t h a t the immigration from this source exceeds thn t of all other American ports except New York. ^ Immigrant Inspector F. A, Woodbridge, writing from Newport, Y t , under date of April 16, says: For the past month alien immigration passing through this port has averaged 400 persons per day. I am not prepared to state t h a t any large proportion of these immigrants come from Europe; t h e majority of them come from the eastern provinces of Canada, notably the vicinity of Quebec. AVe are receiving at this port three carloads of these French Canadians each day, who are en route to the various manufacturing towns in New England, and a large number of them are, in my opinion, under an implied contract to labor. The recent legislation intended particularly to regulate immigration, along the Canadian border is contained in the last paragraph of section 8 of the act of March 3, viz: That the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe rules for inspection along tbe borders of Canada, British Columbia, and Mexico, so as not to obstruct or unnecessarily delay, impede, or annoy passengers in ordinary travel between said countries: Provided, That not exceeding one inspector shall be appointed for each customs district, and whose salary shall not exceed twelve hundred dollars per year. This clause, instead of being in harmony with the general prohibitive featuries of the act and the ample authority vested in the Secretary to supervise the business of immigration at seaboard ports, restricts him to very narroAV limits in prescribing regulations for inspection along the northern and southern borders. If immigration continues over the border in the nunibors above reported, it will be impossible for one inspector in each customs district to properly examine them and keep the required record of their number, natiAdty, etc., and even with the aid of contract-labor inspectors it will be impracticable to satisfactorily examine into the condition of immigrants without to some extent obstructing, delaying, impeding or anfioying ^^passengers in ordinary travel between said countries,^' especially on railroad trains. The immigration business continued to be transacted in this division until the second week in Julj^, when it was transferred to the Immigration Bureau created by the seventh section of the act of March 3,1891, and this report is made to cover only the business^ of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891.
