Bat as the first is only an exchange for the same amount of bank capital,
will probably produce an excess of dividends beyond the interest
ayable on the stock, equal to the reimbursement of the principal before
ie expiration of the charter, and the second bears no interest, and will
robably be reimbursed by the sales of the public lands in the Mississippi
'erritory, during the three succeeding years, no further provision for their
itimate redemption appears to be necessary.

SINKING
FUND.
According to the existing laws, the sinking fund consists of a permanent
>propriation of 8,000,000 dollars per annum, which is vested in the comissioners of the sinking fund, to be by them applied to the payment of
e interest of the public debt, and to the redemption of the principal. Of
is sum, there will be required, during the year 1817, for the payment of
terest, $6,084,415 93; leaving the sum of $1,915,584 07 to be applied
the redemption of the principal of the debt. This sum, operating upon
3 principle of compound interest, will not redeem the whole amount of
3 funded debt before the year 1842. An attentive examination of the
e and progress of public debts in other countries cannot fail to impress
5 American republic with the necessity of making suitable exertions in
:iods of peace, to release the national revenue from so heavy an encumtnce. Although, from our happy form of government, and from our
tunate geographical position, we may reasonably calculate upon being
s frequently subjected to the calamities of war than has hitherto fallen
the lot of other civilized nations, yet reason and experience forbid the
pectation that we shall be exempted from its evils until the redemption of
s public debt shall be effected by the operation of the existing sinking
id.
By referring to the laws authorizing the several loans, which, during the
3 war, have swelled the public debt to its present amount, Congress has
iformly pledged the faith of the nation to provide sufficient funds for the
yment of the interest, and the redemption of the principal, of the debt so
iated. The time has now arrived when that pledge ought to be redeemIt is therefore respectfully proposed, that there be annually approated the sum of $2,000,000, in addition to the sum of $8,000,000, now
alicable to the payment of the interest, and the redemption of the princi! of the public debt; and that that sum be vested in the commissioners
the sinking fund, to be applied in the same manner as the existing sinkj fund. It is also proposed, that when the six per cent, stock can be purged at par, or the seven per cent, stock can be purchased at six per cent, preum3 or when a greater amount can be redeemed, according to the condias attached to the different loans of which the funded debt is composed,
in the amount of the sinking fund applicable to the redemption of the
ncipal of the funded debt within any one year, there be paid to the comssioners of the sinking fund the further sum of $1,000,000 out of any
>ney in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, if such payment can be
de, leaving a balance in the Treasury at the end of the year of
,000,000; which additional sum shall be applied to the redemption or
rchase of the principal of the debt
is the funded stock which may be subscribed by individuals to the Bank
the United States is redeemable at the will of the Government, and as
Louisiana stock is to be reimbursed in four annual instalments, com

REPORTS OF THE
[1816.
mencing in the year 1818, the effect of the provision will be an annual addition of $1,000,000 for the succeeding six years, if the state of the Treasury will admit of its execution.
By the operation of the sinking fund, thus enlarged, the whole funded
debt will be extinguished within the term of fourteen years. In the present
unsettled state of the revenue, arising from excessive importations of foreign
merchandise during the previous and present year ; from the change in the
rate of duties imposed upon merchandise ; and from changes made in the
various branches of internal revenue ; it would be unsafe to vest the whole of
the surplus revenue of the present year in the commissioners of the sinking fund, as there is strong reason to believe that the revenue which will
accrue during the year 1817 will fall considerably below the permanent
annual expenditure, inclusive of the addition proposed to be made to the
sinking fund. That deficiency, as well as any other which may occur in
the two succeeding years, will be covered by the balances which it is estimated will be in the Treasury on the 1st day of January, 1817, and 1818.

The comparative statements just presented prove the extreme difficulty
iere was, in 1815, of making any estimate upon which reliance could be
•laced. The excessive importations of foreign merchandise, during the
>ast and present year, have but in a slight degree diminished that difficult
y. The revenue which accrued from imports and tonnage during the first
hree quarters of the year 1816 have averaged nine millions of dollars a quar3r; while that which will have accrued during the last quarter is estimated
t not more than one-third of that sum. As the redundancy of foreign
lerchandise in the country, which has produced this extraordinary reduc;.on of duties in the fourth quarter of the year, will continue to influence
he importations of the year 1817, the revenue accruing from that source
uring the year, probably, cannot be safely estimated above twelve millions.
[1816.
REPORTS OF THE
80
We must look, therefore, to the revenue accruing in the year 1818, as
the average revenue arising from duties and taxes of a permanent character,
by which the permanent expenditures of the Government should be regulated. From the facts in the possession of the department, the revenue which
will accrue during that year is estimated as follows, viz :
Customs
.
.
.
.
$18,000,000 00
Internal duties
2,500,000 00
Public lands
1,500,000 00
Postage, and incidental receipts
250,000 00
Making an aggregate amount of
- $22,250,000 00
In the year 1819, thefirstinstalment of the bonus payable by the Bank of the United States becomes due
500,000 00
Duringthe same year, it is believed that the claim of the
State of Georgia will be paid, and the Mississippi stock
will be absorbed by the sale of public lands in the Mississippi
Territory, which will give an additional revenue from the
public lands, for the year 1820, and for subsequent years, of
1,500,000 00
Making the revenue for the year 1820 amount to
- $24,250,000 00
Which may be estimated as the permanent annual revenue after that
period.
But the receipts into the Treasury, during the year 1817, are estimated
as follows: viz.
Customs
$24,000,000 00
