REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
DECEMBER, 1S14.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in obedience to the act i: supplementary
to the act entitled an act to establish the Treasury Department," has the
honor respectfully to submit to Congress the following report and estimates.
The sums authorized by Congress to be expended during the year 1814,
and for which appropriations have been made, are as follows :
1. For civil, diplomatic, and miscellaneous expenses
$2,245,355 59
To this sum is to be added the amount
which may be payable on the following accounts, viz: 1. The amount of fines, penalties, and forfeitures actually received into the
Treasury, which is appropriated for defraying the expenses of courts of the United
States. 2. The sums received by the collectors of the customs for the marine hospital
fund and privateer pension fund, which are
paid into the Treasury with the other moneys
derived from the customs, but are exclusively applicable to the two objects here mentioned, respectively. 3. The moneys received into the Treasury for the United States'
moiety of prizes captured by public vessels,
which belong exclusively to the navy pension fund. These items are contingent and
uncertain, until the accounts for the year are
made up, and their amount ascertained. As
they appear among the receipts into the Treasury. they must also be placed among its expenditures. They may be estimated for the
vear 1R11 i t

at
— $2,445,355 59
2. M i l i t a r y expenses, including the Indian department,
and the permanent appropriation of 200,000 dollars annually for a r m i n g and equipping the whole body of the milltiaof the United States . „
.
3. Naval expenses, including 200,000 dollars for the
purchase of timber, appropriated by the act of March 30,
1812
"
'
*
"
4. For the public debt, such sum as the public engagements may require; and which, during the year 1814, may
be estimated as follows:

of the annual reimbursement of the old
six per cent, and deferred stocks, temporary loans payable during this year, and
Treasury notes reimbursable during the
7,572,000 00
same period
12,502,000 00
But for these purposes there had been
advanced from the Treasury during the
year 1813, to sundry comnussioocrs of
loans, beyond the demands upon them
for the year 1813, and to the Treasurer
of the United States as agent for the commissioners of the sinking fund, about

The means ky which this sum was to be provided were the following:
1. Moneys receivable on account of the public revenue, and which were
estimated as follows:
From the customs
. $6,500,000 00
Sales of public lands 600,000 00
Direct tax and internal duties 3,800,(XX) 00
Postage and incidental receipts .
60,000 00
10,950,000 00
2. Moneys receivable for the proceeds of loans, and for
Treasury notes to be issued, as follows;
Amount payable into the Treasury
during the year 1814, of the loan of seven
and a half millions, made under the act
of August 2, 1813

Amount authorized by the act of March
4, 1814, to be issued in Treasury notes 5,000,000 00
33,592,665 GO
And it was estimated that out of the balance of cash remaining in the Treasury on the lst day of January, 1814,
which amounted to $5,196,482, th re might be'applied
a sum sufficient to cover the whole amount of the author2,727,507 46

It has not been practicable to prepare thc statements of
this and of the other branches of the revenue in the usual
official form, to be communicated to Congress at this time.
Some of these statements have been heretofore regularly
mven for periods terminating on the 30th of September;
and to preserve the series unimpaired, t h e i r preparation
is postponed until they can be made out terminating with
that day. They will hereafter be laid before Congress in
the proper form: The amount of the cusloni-hou.^dm.cs
which accrued during the year 1813 was ^ 0 7 0 , 0 0 0 .
During the first two quarters of thc present year, they
amounted to about $3,000,000. but, during the last two
quarters, will not probably exceed one million. The amount
r e c e i v a b l e into the Treasury during the year 1814, from
bonds outstanding at the commencement of the year, and
from the duties accruing, and which will become payable
during that year, is estimated at $ 7 , w h i c h is
$500,000 more than was heretofore estimated. Of this sum,
$4 182 088 25 was paid during the first half of the year,
and will leave, payable during the remainder of thc year,
the sum here stated.

Sales of public lands.—The proceeds of the public lands
sold in the Mississippi Territory, which are now payable
to the State of Georgia, are b r o u g h t into the Treasury in
the same manner as the moneys derived from the sales 01
other public lands. As the amount, when paid out of the
Treasury to the State of Georgia, appears among the public expenditures, it is proper that these moneys should ne
placed among the receipts of the Treasury. Including
the proceeds of the lands in the M i s s i s s . p p i TCTHtory the
receipts during the year 1814 are estimated at pK*MA!U,

tion in more than three-fourths of the districts, and will
shortly 1* m the some state in all the districts except two
or three, where the difficulty of obtaining competent persons to act as assessors has produced some delay. In seve™ o f *«« districts, the collection is already nearly completea. 1 he amount estimated as receivable from these two
sources was 3,900,000 dollars.

mated, for the whole year, at 50,(KM) dollars. Including repayments, prize money, and the arrears of ihe former direct
tax and infernal duties, there was received, on these accounts, during the first half of the year, $166,744. These
receipts are so casual abd uncertain, that it is difficult to
make any estimate of their amount. During the remainder
of the year they may, perhaps, be expected to produce

$4,840,000 00

Under the net of the 24th of March, 1814, by which the President was
aurhorized to borrow twenty-five millions of dollars, a loan was opened on
the 2d of May for ten millions of dollars, in part of that sum. A loan for
ten millions of dollars was considered as more likely to prove successful,
than if an attempt were made to obtain the whole amount of twenty-five
millions at once. The sums offered for this loan amounted to 11,900,806
dollars; of which 2^671,750 dollars were at rates less than 88 per cent.,
and 1,1S3.4(>0 dollars at rates less than 85 per cent. Of the sum of 9,229,056
dollars, which rvere offered at 88 per cent., or at rates more favorable to
the United States, five millions were offered, with the condition annexed,
that if terms more favorable to the lenders should be allowed for any part
of the twenty-five millions authored to be borrowed the present year, the
same terms hould be extended to those holding the stock of the ten million
loan. Taking into consideration the expectation, then entertained, of an
early return of peace, and the importance of maintaining unimpaired the
public credit, by sustaining the price of stock in [the mean time, and. also,
considering the measure was sanctioned by precedent, it was agreed to accept
the loan with that condition. Had the sum to which the condition was
annexed been rejected, the consequence would have been to reduce the
amount obtained to less than five millions—a sum altogether inadequate to
the public demands; or, by depressing the stock to 85 per cent., to have
obtained only a little more than six millions, which would still have been
insufficient to answer the purposes of Government. Offers were subsequently made to this loan, of sums amounting to 566,000 dollars, which
were accepted on the same terms as the original offers, and augmented the
amount of the loan which was taken to 9,795,056 dollars.
T h e papers annexed under the letter B, exhibit the particulars relating
to this loan.
There was paid into the Treasury on account of the loan often millions,
prior to the 1st of July, $6,087,011; leaving to be paid after that day,
•83,708,045. Of this sum, a failure of payment on the days fixed by the
terms of the loan, of about 1,900,000 dollars, has taken place; and it is doubt


379

R E P O R T S OF' T H E

[1813.

ful whether ihe payment will be effected. No more, therefore, can be relied
on towards the supply necessary for the third and fourth quarter* of the year
1S14, than what has already bein paid, and amounting to about $1,800,000.
Proposals were again invited ou the 22d of August, for a loan ot six millions of dollars, in lurther executiou of the power coiitamed in die act ot
the 24th of March, for borrowing twenty-five millions. I he whole amount
offered was only 2,823,300 dollars, of which 100,000 dollars were at rates
less than 80 per cent, and 2,213,000 dollars were at the rate of 80 dollars in
money for 100 dollars of six per cent stock. The remaining sum of
510,300 dollars was offered at various rates, from SO to 88. Notwithstanding the reduced rate at which the greater part of the above sum was proposed, yet, as the market price of stock hardly exceeded 80 per cent, as
there was no prospect of obtaining the money on better terms, and as it
was indispensable for the public service, it was deemed advisable to accept
the sums offered at that rate. Including the sums offered at rates more favorable to the United States than that here stated, the whole amount of the
proposals accepted was 2,723,300 dollars; and a further sum of 207.000
dollars has been since accepted at the same rate; making the whole amount
taken of this loan 2,930.300 dollars.
The annexed papers under the letter G relate to this loan.
Some of the persons who originally made proposals for this loan, which
were accepted, have since given notice that they could not carry tlieir proposals into execution. T h e sums ill relation to which this failure has taken
place amount to 410,000 dollars; and there can, therefore, be relied on, for
|
the proceeds of this loan, only $2,520,300.
Moneys having been heretofore obtained by the United States on loan in ,
Europe upon favorable terms, and the punctuality and fidelity with which
they were repaid having established their credit there on a firm and respectable footing; it was determined, in consequence of the difficulties experienced
in obtaining at home the sums requisite for the public service, lo try the
market in that quarter. T o effect tins purpose, the requisite powers and in- ,
structions have been given for negouating a loan for six millions of dollars
as a further part of the loan of twenty-five millions authorized by the act ol
the 24th of March last; and in order to facilitate this object, 6 p e r c e n t . slocK
to that amount has been constituted and transmitted, with directions for jt*
sale, if that shall be found the most advantageous mode for obtaining tne
money. The result, however, of this experiment, is not certain; and toe
proceeds, in case it should be successful, will not probably come into tne
Treasury in the course of the present year; they cannot, therefore, be
among the resources of this year. But as this sum forms a part of tna
which was authorized to be borrowed, and which will be necessary lor we
service of the present year, further authority will be required from Congress
for obtaining this sum, by loan or otherwise ; in which case, the P r o c e ^ \
of the negotiation undertaken in Europe will be applicable to the service
of the ensuing year.

With a view to avoid the inconvenient increase of stock in the mariwM
and its consequent depreciation, an effort was iaide to obtain tempwjH •
loans from the banks, by special contracts ; but the attempt was not a t t e n d
with success.
„nder
T h e amount of Treasury notes issued prior to the 1st of July last,

the act of the 4th of March, 1814, was $1,392,100. Those since issn

given of those Treasury notes issued under the act of the 25th of February,
1813, which have not been heretofore reported to Congress.
T h e r e are now in circulation near 8,000,000 of dollars in Treasury notes;
oT which, during the fourth quarter of the present year, notes for more than
four millions of dollars will become reimbursable. A partof them may, perhaps,
be replaced by new notes; but it is not believed that, upon their present footing, more than two millions and a half of dollars can thus be replaced. This
would still leave more than six millions of dollars of notes ii) circulation ;
which the experience of two years has shown to be nearly a^ large a sum,
while the other circulating paper medium of the country remained unembarrassed, and maintained itself in the public confidence, as can, in their present
shape, be freely and easily circulated. Notes of a smaller denomination than
those heretofore issued "have been prepared, and will probably, by passing
into a more numerous and extensive class of the money transactions of individual^ carry a greater quantity into circulation; there having been already
issued, since the 1st of Julv, Treasury notes amounting to 1,500,000 dollars,
and it l«ing estimated that a further sum of 2,500,000 dollars may be put in
circulation previously to the end of the present year, the amount estimated
to be derived from this source during the third and fourth quarters of the
year will be $4,000,000.

If further reliance must be had on loans, it is respectfully suggested that
additional inducements should be offered to capitalists to advance tlieir
money, by affording an ample and unequivocal security for the regular payment of the interest, and reimbursement of the principal of such loans as
may be obtained. This may be effected by establishing an adequate revenue,
and pledging the same specifically for that purpose.
It is also submitted for the consideration of C ongress, whether Treasury
notes might not, by augmenting the rate of interest they now bear, and securing its payment, as well as their eventual reimbursement, by an adequate
revenue pledged for that purpose, be placed on a fooling better calculated
than at present to sustain their credit, encourage their circulation, and
answer with more certainty the purposes of Government.
The estimates for thesrrvice of the year 1815 have not yet been prepared.
It is certain, however, if the war continues, that a sum will be required nt
least equal to tliat demanded for the present year; and under the head of public
debt, an additional sura sufficient for the payment of the interest on the
loans made in the mean time.
By the plan of finance which was adopted at ihe commencement of the
present war, this additional sum would be all that would be required to be
raised by new taxes during the year 1815, except what might be necessary
to mike good a deficiency in any of the existing revenues. According to
that plan of finance, the expenditures to be covered by the revenue during
the year 1815 would be as follows :
Expense of the peace establishment
.
.
$7,000,000
j
Interest on the debt existing prior to the wat .
900 000
Interest on the debt contracted since the war.

The revenues, as now established, are estimated to produce, during the

interruption of our trade, this source of revenue cannot be very productive.

Towards making up this sum of5,300,000 dollars, a continuance ofthe
direct tax will, it is believed, be necessary; but, at its present rate, it will not
produce nett to the Treasury more than 2,600,000 dollars.
In order to provide the remaining sum of 2,700,000 dollars, as well as
such other sums as may be deemed requisite for the objects hereinbefore
suggested, it will be for Congress to consider how far it would be expedient
to increase this tax, as well as the present internal duties; and, also, what
new objects of taxation may for that purpose be most advantageously resorted to.
Hut the plan of finance above referred to, assumed, as one ofthe grounds
upon which it depended, that loans might be annually obtained during the
continuance of the war, for the amount of (he extraordinary expenditures
occasioned by it. The experience of the present year furnishes ground to
doubt whether this be practicable, at least in the shape in which loans have
been hitherto attempted. Nor is it even certain that the establishing and
pledging of revenues adequate to the punctual payment of the interest and
eventual reimbursement ofthe principal ofthe sums which will be required
for the service ofthe year 1815, would enable the Treasury to obtain them
through the medium of loans effected in the ordinary way.
With this view of the subject, it is respectfully submitted whether it
would not be expedient to extend the provisions to be made for the service
of the ensuing year, beyond those contemplated in this plan of finance
hitherto pursued for carrying on the war, so as to provide, by means other
than loans, for at least a portion of the extraordinary expenditures occasioned thereby. This would have a tendency to insure public confidence, and
preserve and confirm the public credit.
The present state of our country, growing out ofthe unjust policy of the
enemy, as well as the unusual manner in which he prosecutes the war, calls
for new and extraordinary exertions on the part ofthe nation; and the means
requisite to meet the expenditures which these may occasion ought to be
provided.
The resources ofthe nation are not exhausted; they are ample, and the
occasion requires they should be brought into full activity.
The very- expenditures which render necessary the imposition of additional taxes, will themselves have increased in the community the ability
to discharge them.
The promptitude and cheerfulness with which the present taxes are paid,
afford the best pledges of the spirit with which the people will meet such
demands as the interest and safety of the country may require. A people
who have not only tasted, but enjoyed in their full extent, the blessings ot
liberty and independence, for more than thirty years, cannot consider any
sacrifices too gTeat which arefoundindispensable to preserve them inviolate.
Those sacrifices, however, which may be demanded by the present crisis
in our affairs, will be of a temporary nature only; for while we may fairly
calculate that, with the termination ofthe present contest, the duration ot
which will be shortened in proportion to the vigor and unanimity with

DEPARTMENT,

August

3 1 , 1814.

SIR: T h a t port of the loon of six millions of dollars, for which the proposals were accepted, has been taken at thc rate of eighty dollars in money
for one hundred dollars in stock. Your proposal
for
dollars being
at that rate, or at one more favorable for the I ruled States, has been accepted ; and you will be pleased to make yourjxtyments into the bank or banks
specified in your proposal, m the manner and at the times stated in the
ublic notification. But as some delay, the cause of which is doubtless
nown to you, has unavoidably taken place in advising you of the acceptance
of your proposal, the first payment may, if your convenience shall require it,
be made on the 20th instead of the 10th of September, as required by the
public notification. This, however, will not affect the subsequent instalments, which are, nevertheless, to be paid on the davs already fixed, viz:
the 10th day of the mouths of October, November, and December.
T h e same causes which have occasioned a delay in advising you of the acceptance of your proposal, will perhaps render it impossible to place the
scrip-certificates in the hands of the cashiers of the banks where thc payments are io be made, by the time at which the first instalment will be nayable. If this Should be the case, you will please to receive from the cashier
his receipt for tlie amount which you may pay, to be subsequently exchanged
for a scrip-certificate, when those papers shall be ready for delivery.
I am, respectfully, sir,
Your obedient servant.

in the annual report on the state of the finances made to Congress from
this department.
