O F T H E ESTIMATE OF THE PUBLIC REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE
•
FOR. THE YEAR 1 8 2 3 .

The gross amount of duties on imports and tonhage, which accrued from
the. 1st of January to the 30th September last, both days included, is estimated at $19,500,000, and that of the whole year at $23,000,000.
It is estimated that the amount of debentures issued during the same period
exceeds the amount issued during the corresponding period ofthe yearl821,
by $86,000; and that the amount of debentures outstan'ding on the 30th of
September last, chargeable upon the revenueof 1823, is $234,000 more
than 'was on the same day in 1821 chargeable upon the revenue of 1822.
It is estimated that the value of doniestic articles exported from the
United States, in the year ending on fhe 30th of September last,-has amounted
lo $49,874,079, and that foreign articles exported duririg the same period
have amounted to $22,286,202.
As the receipts from.the customs in the year 1823 depend,:1st, upon the
amount of duty bonds which become due within that year, after deducting'
the expenses of collection and the amount of debentures chargeable upon
them; and 2d, upon such portion of the duties[secured in the first and second
quarters of that year, as are payable Xvithin the year ; it is manifest that an
increase in the amount of debentures chargeable upon the revenue of the
year 1823, or a diminution ofthe importations of foreign merchandise during
the first two quarters of thatyear, must necessarily diminish the receipts
iilto the Treasury. As debentures can be issued at any time within twelve
months after importation, chargeable upon bonds given forthe duties upon
such importation, it is impossible to foresee the amount whichmay be chargeable upon the bonds that are payable duringthe year 1823. The facts,
however, whi.ch have been stated, justify the conclusion, that the aniount of
debentures which will be issued and charged upon the revenue of 1823 will
considerably exceed the ainount which was chargeable upon that of 1822.
From the same facts, it is also presumed that the importations of the first
two quarters of the year 1823, will be less than the corresponding quarters
of the present year.

•Giving due weight to all the facts connected with the subject, the receipts
for the year 1823 may be estimated at $21,100,000 00

Although the facts already disclosed justify the conclusion that.the importations ofthe present year exceed the value of domestic articles exported
during the year, yet there are no means of ascertaining the exte.nt of that
excess. If the custom-house documents were, to be considered conclusive
evidence upon this subject, it would be apparent that the'nation has, through
the whole period of its existence, imported more in value than it has exported. But the fact is incontestable, that the United States have enjoyed a
more uninterrupted prosperity, and have increased their capital to a greater
relative extent, than any of the nations with whom they have maintained
commercial intercourse.
To show'that the custom-house documents cannot be considered conclusive evidence in this case, it is proper to observe: 1st. That the value of
articles paying duties ad yalorem, imported into the United States, is ascertained by adding to the invoice value 20 per cent., if from beyond the Cape
of Good Hope, and 10 per cent, from all other places; whilst the,value of
domestic articles exported is ascertained at the port of shipment, without any
such addition.. 2d. The greatest portion of the importatjons and exportations is made in vessels of the United States. . 3d. The capital eniployed
in the trade of the northwest coast and of the Pacific ocean consists
almost exclusiyely of the labor and enterprise of those engaged in it.
Foreign articles, the proceeds of those enterprises, imported into the United
States, are therefore only equivalent to the labor and enterprise by which
they were procured. 4th. The value of domestic articles exported is more
imperfectly ascertained than of foreign articles imported; because it has not
been considered necessary, to resort to the same sanctions to enforce a compliance with the regulations which have been prescribed for that purpose.
To ascertain the relative value of imports and exports, it is necessary—1st.
That the same additions should be made to the invoice value of the latter, as
are required by law to be made to the former. 2d. The freight of domestic
articles exported in American vessels should be added to their value, after
deducting from it the freight of foreign articles imported in foreign vessels.
3d. The, value of foreign articles imported in vessels engaged in the trade of
the northwest coast arid Pacific ocean, the proceeds of the labor and' enterprise of those by whom they are navigated, should be added to the ..dp-'
mestic exports. 4th. It is irnpossible to ascertain, what addition should be


222

•.

- REPORTS OF THE.;

•{1822.

made to the value of the domestic exports on account of the omission of the
exporters to state correctly the quantity, or value of articles exported, by
them; biit, after making a liGeral allowance for foreign articles illicitly introduced or inaccurately invoiced, it is believed that a considerable addition
should be made.
•
.•
. , ^ '
- '
If, then, to the amount of doraestic articles exported during the year
ending on the 30th of September last, already estimated at 49,874,079 dollars, the additions should be made which the ,preceding facts and considerations appear to authorize, the .value of our doriiestic exports, during that
periodmay be estimated at ,nearly 60,000,000 dollars. ' ,
' ~
'Although no calculation has been completed, showing the average rate of
duty upon the valu.e ..of foreign articles importedi into the United States, it
is presumed that an importatJon of 60,000,000 dollars of foreign merchandise will not produce a less revenue.than 17,000,000 dollars/. As the receipts from the customs durino^ the year 1823 have been estimated at
1,9,000,000 dollars, it is probable that the receipts from the same'source in
1824, ;:which: will depend upoh the importations of 1823,'will not exceed.'
15,00Q,000 dollars, , Under the most unfavorable circumstances, it is believed that the receipts of that year will be. sufficient to discharge all demands upon the Treasury which rnay be authorized by law.
If the current appropriations for the year 1825 shall be equal to those
required by the estimates for the ensuing year, the expenditure of that year
may be estimated at ,. '•-• .

In this estimate the receipts and expenditures of the'"year 1824 are estixpated to be nearly equal. It.is probable, howevjer, that the receipts mayexceed, to a small extent, the. expenditures.; but there is atleast an equal
probability that the receipts for the year 1825 are. estimated too high. In
the ^rear 1826, the expenditure, assuming the current appropriations to' be
the same as in the year 1823, may he estimated at 19,457,QpO dollars, and




1822.]

the receipts at 19,000,000 dollars.. As the appropriatiori of 500,000 dollars
for the gradual increase ofthe navy expires in that year, the annual expenditure may, for subsequent-years, be • estimated atl9,000.,O0O dollars, unless
it shall be considered expedient to make further provision for the increase
of that essential means of national defence.
- •
Itis probable thatthe annual revenue willbe eqti alto that sum. Toprovide for the "estimated deficit ofthe years' 1825 and 1826, as wel.l, as to^meet
any extraordinary demands upon the Treasury which unforeseen exigencies may require, it is believed to be expedient that the revenue should be
increased." This may be conveniently effected hy a judicious revision of
the tariff, which, while it willnot prove onerous to the consumer, will simpUfy.the labors of the officers of the revenue. At present, articles composed
of wool,..cotton,'flax, and'hemp, pay difFerent .rates of duty. -Difficulties
frequently occur in determining the duties to- which such articles are subject. . The provision in the tariff, that the duty upoii articles composed of .
various materials shall be regulated by the material of chief value ofwhich
it is composed, is productive of frequerit embarrassment and much inconvenience. It is therefore respectfully submitted, that all articles composed
of wool, cotton, flax, hemp, or silk, or of which any one of these materials
is a component part, be subject to a.duty of twenty-five per cent, ad valorem.
The duties upon glass and paper, upon iron and lead, and upon all articles composed of the two latter materials, may also be increased, with a
view to the augmentation of the revenue. In all these cases, except articles composed of silk, it is probable that the effect of the proposed augmentation of duties will gradually lead to an ample supply of those articles
from our domestic manufactories. , It is hovvever presumed, that the revenue will continue to be augmented by the proposed alterations in the tariff, until the. public debt shall have been redeemed; after which, the public
expenditure, in time of peace, will be diminished to the extent of the
sinking fund, which is at presient $10,000,000. But if,' contrary to present
anticipations, the proposed augmenlation of duties should, before the public
debt be redeemed, produce a diminution of the revenue arising from the
importation of those articles, a corresponding, if not a greater augmentation, may be confidently expected iipon other articles imported into the
United States. This supposition rests upon the two-fold conviction, that
foreign ^articles, nearly equal to the value of the domestic exports, will be.
imported and consumed; and that the substitution of particular classes of
domestic articles for those of foreign nations, not only does not necessarily
diminish the value of domestic exports, but usually tends to increase that
value.
,
The duties upon various other articles, not in any degree connected with
our domestic industry, may likewise be increased, with a view to the augmentation of the public revenue. If the existing tariff shall, during the present session of Congress, be judiciously revised for the purpose of augmenting the revenue, it is confidently believed that it will not only be amply sufficient to defray all the demands upon the Treasury at present authorized
by law, but that there will remain an annual surplus, subject to such disposition, for the promotion of the public welfare, as the wisdom of Congress
may direct.
Under the act of the 20th of April last, authorizing the exchange of ceritain portions of the public debt for five per cent, stock, $56,704 77 only
iiave been exchanged. The incireased .demand for capital for the prosecu

tion of comnierciar enterprises during the present yeqir, and the rise,in the
rate of iiiterest consequent upon that demand,* which were not anticipated
at the tirne that the measure was proposed, have prevented its execution.
Existing" circumstances do not. authorize the conclusion, that a measure of
this hat Lire will be more successful during the next year. If the price of the
public debt in 1825 should be as high as it is, at preserit, any portion of it,
redeernableat.the pleasure ofthe Goyernment, w:hich.shouldbe imredeemed in that and subsequent years, after the application* of the sinking fund
to-that, objectj may be advantageously exchanged for stock, redeemable at
such\periods as to^give full operation to the sinking fund. This may be
efifected, either directly, by an excliange of stock, or indirectly, by authorizing a loan to the amount of the s,tock annuallyr redeemable,, beyond the
amourit of the smking fund applical31e to that object.
