REPORT ON T H E FIN ANCES.
NOVEMBER, 1807.
In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act entitled
An act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following report and estimates
u
REVENUE AND R E C E I P T S .
The nett revenue arising from duties on merchandise and tonnage, which
accrued during the year lb05, amounted to - $1 j.135,158
And that which accrued during the year 1806, amounted,
is will appear by the statement (A.) to
16,576,454
The same revenue, after deducting that jiortion which arose
from the duty on salt, and from the additional duties constituting the Mediterranean fund, amounted, during the year

.
' . 12,520,532
And during the year 1806, to
.
.
.
.
14,809,758
It is ascei»aincd that the nett revenue, which has accrued during the
first three quarters of the year 1807, exceeds that of the corresponding
quarters of the year 1806; and that branch of the revenue may. exclusively of the duty on salt, and of the Mediterranean fund, both of which expire on the 1st day of January next, be safely estimated for the present,
and if no change takes place in the relations of the United States with
foreign nations, at fourteen millions of dollars.
The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise,
and other sources, from which that revenue was collected during the vear
1806.
It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of the public lands have,
during the year ending on the 30th September, 1807, exceeded 284,000
acres. Some returns are net yet received: and the proceeds of sales in the
Mississippi Territory, being, .fter deducting the surveying and other incid e n ^ x p e n s e s , appropriated * the first place to the payment of a sum of
1,250,000 dollars to the State oi Georgia, have not l>een included, but are
distinctly stated. The actual payments by purchasers have, d u r i n g the
same period, exceeded 6S0,000 dollars; and the receipts into the Treasury
from that source may, after deducting charges, and the five per cent, reserved for roads, be estimated for the ensuing year a t five hundred t h o u s a n d
6 3
dollars.

The receipts arising from the permanent revenue of the United States
may, therefore, without including the duties on postage, and other incidental
branches, be computed, for the year 1808, at
- $14,500,000
And the payments into the Treasury during the same year,
on account of the salt and Mediterranean duties previously
accrued, are estimated at

A farther sum of about 1,600,000 dollars should also be
paid during this quarter, in order to complete the annual appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars. If the whole of this sum

cannot be expended this year, the unexpended balance will

PUBLIC
DEBT.
It appears by the statement (T),) that the payments on account of the principal ofthe public debt have, during the year ending on the 30th day of September, 1S07, exceeded four million six hundred thousand dHlars ; making
the total of public debt reimbursed from the 1st of Ai ril, 1S01, to the 1st
of October, 1S07, about twenty-five million eight hundred and eighty
thousand dollars, exclusively of more than six millions which have been
paid during the same period in conformity with the provisions of the treaty
and convention with Great Britain, and of the Louisiana convention.
Of the twelve millions of dollars, which, according to ihe preceding estimates may be paid on account of the public debt between the 30th Septem
her, 180,, and the 1st January, IS09, about eight millions will be on account
of the principal. It must, how ver, be observed, that the unascertained result of the proposition made to the public creditors for a modification ofthe
debt, may affect the amount payable during the year lb08, on account of
both principal and interest.
1807.]
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
359
On the 1st day of January, 1809, the principal of the debt will, if the
proposed modification be not assented to by the public creditors, amount to
near fifty-seven million and five hundred thousand dollars: the subsequent
annual payments thereon, on account of principal and interest, will not, exclusively of occasional purchases, exceed 4,600,000 dollars; and the whole
of the debt (the nineteen millions three per cent, stock only excepted) will
be reimbursed in sixteen years.
A general subscription would reduce the capital to about fifty-one millions
of dollars; the payments would amount to eight millions of dollars annually
during six years, and average less than three millions during the seven following; at the end of which period the whole debt would be extinguished.
An annual unappropriated surplus of at least three millions of dollars may
henceforth be relied upon with great confidence. The receipts of the year
1808 have been estimated at 15,800.000, and the expenses at 12,60U,000
dollars. The permanent revenue has been computed at 14,500,000 dollars;
and the permanent expenses predicated on au annual payment of eight millions of dollars on account of the debt, have been stated at 11.600,000 dollars. And as these would, if no modification of the debt shall take place,
be reduced to less than 8,500,000, the annual surplus would then amount to
six millions of dollars. Nor are the seven millions and a half of dollars
which will remain in the Treasury at the end of the present year, included
in the calculation.
c
What portion of that surplus may be wanted for necessary measures ot
security and defence: what portion should be applied to internal improvements, which, while increasing and diffusing the national wealth, will
strengthen the bonds of union; are subjects which do not fall within the
province of the Treasury Department. But it is not improbable that, after
making ample provision for both those objects, considerable surphrses, and
which can no longer lie applied to the redemption of the debt, may still
accumulate in the Treasury.
.
A previous accumulation of treasure in time of peace, might, in a great
degree, defray the extraordinary expenses of war, and dimmish the necessity of either loans or additional taxes. It would provide, during periods
of prosperity for those adverse events to which every nation is exposed,
instead of increasing the burdens of the people at a time when they are
least able to bear them, or of impairing by anticipations the resources ot
ensuing generations. And the public moneys of the United States not
being locked up and withdrawn from the general circulation, but, on the
contrary, deposited iu banks, and continuing to form a part of the circulating medium, the most formidable objection to that system, which has
nevertheless been at times adopted with considerable success an other countries, is thereby altogether removed. It is also believed that the renewal of
the charter of the Bank of the United States may, amougst other advantages, afford to Government an opportunity of obtaining interest on the public depositcs, whenever they shall exceed a certain amount Should the
United States, contrary to their expectation and desire, be involved in a war,
it is believed that the 'receipts of the year 1808 will not be materially affected by the event, inasmuch as they will principally arise f r o m the revenue
accrued during the present year. The amount of outstanding bonds due by
importers, after deducting the debentures issued on account of reexportations, exceeds at this time sixteen millions of dollars. The deductions to
be made from there, o'i account of subsequent re-exportations, would, in case
300
REPORTS OF T H E [1S07.
of war, be less than usual; for exportations will then be checked as well
as importations; and, in proportion as these will decrease, a greater home
demand will be creatcd for the stock on hand, and the necessity of re-exporting be diminished.
It has already been stated that the specie in the Treasury at the end ot
this year, together with the surplus of the year 1808, will amount to near
eleven millions of dollars: a sum probably adequate to meet the extraordinary expenses of a war for that year. It will also be recollected, that, in
the estimated expenses of the year 1808, a reimbursement of near five millions and a half of the principal of the debt is included. The only provision
therefore, wTiich may, under any contingency, lie necessary for the extraordinary service of that year, in order to cover any deficiency of revenue or
increase of expenditure beyond what has hecn estimated, will be an authority to borrow a sum equal to that reimbursement.
That the revenue of the United States will, in subsequent years, be considerably impaired by a war, neither can nor ought to be concealed. It is,
on the contrary, necessary, in order to be prepared for the crisis, to take an
eaTly view of the subject, and to examine the resources which should be
selected for supplying the deficiency and defrayinir the extraordinary expenses.
There are no data from which the extent of the defalcation can a: this moment be calculated, or even estimated. It will be sufficient to state, lst.
That it appears necessary to provide a revenue at least equal to the annual
expenses on a peace establishment, the interest of the existing debt, and the
interest on the loans which may lie raised. 2dly. That thovc expenses, together with the interest of the debt, will, after the vonr 1808. amount to a
sum less than seven millions of dollars; aniL therefore, that if the present
revenue of 14.500,000 dollnrs shall not be diminished more than one-half
by a war, it will still be adequate to that object, leaving only the interest of
war-loans to be provided for.
Whether taxes should lie raised to a greater amount, or loans lie altogether
relied on, for defraying the expenses ot the war, is the next subject of consideration.
Taxes are paid by the great mass of the citizens, and immediately affect
almost every individual of the community: loans are supplied by capitals
previously accumulated by a few individuals. In a country where the resources oi individuals are not generally and materially affected by the war,
it is practicable and wise to raise by taxes the greater part, at least, of the annual supplies. The credit of a nation may also, from various circumstances,
be at times so far impaired as to leave no resource but taxation. In both
respects, the situation of the failed States is totally dissimilar
A maritime war will, m the United States, generally and deeply affect,
whilst it continues, the resources of individuals; as not only commercial
profits will be curtailed, but principally because a great portion of the surphis of agricultural produce necessarily requires a foreign market. The
reduced price of the principal articles exported from the United States, will
operate more heavily than any contemplated tax. And without inquiring
whether a similar cause may not still more deeply and permanently aflect a
nation a t war with the United State*, it seems to follow that, so far a s relates
to America, the losses and privations caused by the war should not be a*grayated by taxes beyond what is strictly necessary. An addition to the
debt is doubtless an evil; but experience having now shown with what rapid
1807.]
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
361
progress the revenue of the Union increases in time of peace ; with
what facility the debt, formerly contracted, has in a few years been reduced;
a hope may confidently be entertained that all the evils of the war
will be temporary and easily repaired; and that the return of peace will,
without any effort, afford ample resources for reimbursing whatever may
have been borrowed during the war.
x
The credit of the United States is also unimpaired, either at home or
abroad ; and it is believed that loans to a reasonable amount may be obtained on eligible terms. Measures have been taken to ascertain to what extent
this may be effected abroad. And it will be sufficient here to suggest, that
the several banks of the United States may find it convenient, after the ensuing year, and as the diminished commerce of the couutry may require
less capital, to loan to Government a considerable portion of their capital
stock, now computed at about forty millions of dollars.
It might be premature to enter into a particular detail of the several
branches of revenue which may be selected in order to provide for the interest of war-loaus, and to cover deficiencies in case the existing revenue
should fall below seven millions of dollars. A general enumeration seems
at present sufficient.
1. Not only the duty on salt and the Mediterranean duties may be immediately revived, but the duties on importation generally, may, in case of
war, be considerably increased—perhaps doubled—with less inconvenience
than would arise from any other mode of taxation. Without resorting to
the example of other nations, experience has proven that this source o( revenue is, in the United States, the most productive, the easiest to collect,
and the least burdensome to the great mass of the people. In time of war,
the danger of smuggling is diminished ; the scarcity of foreign articles prevents the duty ever "falling on tho importer; the consumers are precisely
those members of the community who are best able to pay the duty; and
the increase of d o m e s t i c manufactures, which may be indirectly effected, is
in itself a desirable object.
2 Indirect taxes, however ineligible, will doubtless be cheerfully paid
as irar taxes, if necessary. Several modifications of the system formerly
adopted, might, however, be introduced, both in order to diminish some of
the inconveniences which were experienced, and particularly to insure the
collection of the duties.
3. Direct taxes are liable to a particular objection, arising from the unavoidable inequality produced by the general rule of the constitution. W hatever difference may exist between the relative wealth, and consequent ability
of paying, of the several States, still the tax must necessarily be raised in
proportion to their relative population. Should it, however, become necessary to resort to that resource, it is believed that a tax raised upon that
species of property in each State, which by the State laws is liable to taxation, as had originally been contemplated by Congress, would be preferable
to a general assessment, laid uniformly on the same species of property in
all the States, as was ultimately adopted.
All which is respectfully submitted.

Funds having previously been provided in
Europe, the warrant* issued on the Treasurer of the United States for that object,

1807, were less than the amount of interest
arising: the difference, therefore, forms a
deduction.
