REPORTS OF THE

[1803.
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
OCTOBER, 1803.
In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act entitled
"An net to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following report and estimates.
The annual nett proceeds of the duties on merchandise and tonnage had,
in former reports, been estimated at nine million five hundred thousand
dollars. That estimated revenue, predicated on the importations of the
years immediately preceding the late European war, and on the ascertained
ratio of increase of the population of the United States, appears, from the
experience of the last two years, to have been underrated. The nett revenue arising from that source, which accrued during the year 1802, exceeds
ten million one hundred thousand dollars. The revenue, which has accrued during the first two quarters of the present year appears, from the best
estimate that can now be formed, to have been only fifty thousand dollars
less than that of the two corresponding quarters of the year 1802; and the
receipts into the Treasury, on account of the same duties, during the year
ending the 30th of September last, have exceeded ten million six hundred
thousand dollars. Those facts afford satisfactory evidence that the wealth
of the United States increases in a still greater ratio than their population,
and induce a belief that this branch of the public revenue may now be safely calculated at ten millions of dollars.
From the statement (A,) it will appear that the same revenue for the
last two years of the late European war, (1800 and 1801,) calculated at the
present rate of duties, averaged 11,600,000 dollars a year; but although it
might, with some degree of probability, be supposed that the r e n e w a l of
hostilities will again produce a similar increase, no inference from that period
is drawn in this report, in relation to the revenue of the ensuing years.
The statement (B) shows the several species of merchandise on which
the duties on importations were collected, during the year 1802, the portion
of that revenue which was derived from drawbacks, and that which arose
from the extra duty on merchandise imported in foreign vessels.
Although the sales of the public lands, during the year ending on the
30th day of September last, were jiffected by the situation of the western
country, two hundred thousand acres have been sold during that period; and
as it appears by the statement (C,) that, independent of future sales, the sums
already paid to the receivers, together with those which, exclusively of interest, fall due during the three ensuing years, amount to 1,250,000 dollars,
the annual revenue arising from the proceeds of those sales cannot be estimated at less than four hundred thousand dollars.
The extension of post roads, and the acceleration of the mail, whilst diffusing and increasing the benefits of the institution, have, as an o b j e c t ot
revenue rendered it less productive. The receipts from that source have
amounted, during last year, to 27,000 dollars; but, as neither these, nor
1803. J
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
263
those arising from some other smaller incidental branches, are of sufficient
importance to affect any general result, the whole existing revenue of the
United Suites will be computed at only ten million four hundred thousand
dollars.
The permanent annual expenses of Government, which, under existing
laws, must be defrayed out of that revenue, amount to nine million eight
hundred thousand dollars, to wit:
1st. The annual appropriation of 7,300,000 dollars, for the payment of the principal and interest of the debt; of which about
three millions and a half are at present applicable to the discharge of the priucipal,and the residue to the payment of interest
- $7,300,000
2d. The current expenses of Government, which, according to the estimates for the year 1804, consist
of the following items, viz:
For the civil department, and all domestic expenses
of a civil nature
$791,000
For expenses attending the intercourse with foreign
nations, including the permanent appropriation
for Algiers, and all other expeuses relative to the
Barbary powers
184,000
For the military and Indian d^partm^nt - S75,000
For the naval establishment, calculated on the supposition that two frigates and four smaller vessels shall be kept in commission
- 650,000
2,500,000
And deducted from the permanent revenue of
Leave a surplus revenue of six hundred thousand dollars
applicable to other objects -
9.800,CC0
10,400,010
$600,000
The following extraordinary resources and demands, not being of a permanent nature, are not included in that calculation, to wit:
The spec ie in the Treasury, which, on the 30th day of September last, amounted to
- $5,S60,(!00
The arrears of the direct tax, estimated at
.
.
.
250,000
The outstanding internal duties, amounting to near 400,004)
And the sum which will be repaid to the United States, on account of advances heretofore made in England for the prosecution of claims, estimated at
.
.
.
.
150,000
$6,660,030
Constituting an aggregate of more than six million six hundred
thousand dollars; which, after reserving the sum which it is
necessary to keep in the Treasury, will be sufficient to discharge the demands due on account of the convention with
Great Britain, and amounting to
- $2,664,000
Sundry extraordinary expenses in relation to the conventions
with France and Great Britain, estimated at
100,000

on account of the purchase of Louisiana; being the same sum
which was reserved for the purposes contemplated by the law $4,964,000
of the last session, appropriating that amount for the extraordi-nary expenses attending the intercourse with foreign nat ons.
It appears by the estimate D, that during the year ending on the
30th September last, the payments from the Treasury, on account of the public debt, have amounted to
- §3,0%,700
Which, together with the increase of specie in the Treasury,
during the same period, amounting to
- 1,320,000
Makes an actual difference, in favor of the United States,of more
than four million four hundred thousand dollars during
that year -
4,416,700
The payments on account of the principal of the public debt,
from the 1st day of April, 1801, to the 30th day of September,
1803, have amounted, as appears by the estimate (E) to
- $9,924,004
The specie in the Treasury, on the 1st day of April,
1801, amounted to " - '
81,794,000
And on the 30th day of September, 1803. to 5,860,000
Making an increase of
4.066,000
Those two items constitute an aggregate of - 13,990,004
From which, deducting the extraordinary resource arising from
the sales of the bank shares, which produced
- 1.287,606
Leaves for the amount of the true difference -
-
§12,702,404
in favor of the United States, for that period of two years and a half, a
sum of twelve million seven hundred thousand dollars.
From that view of the present situation of the financial concerns of the
United States, it seems that the only question which requires consideration
is, whether any additional revenues are wanted in order to provide for the
new debt, which, if Congress shall pass the laws necessary to carry the
treaty with France into effect, will result from the purchase of Louisiana.
The sum which the United States may have to pay by virtue of that treaty, amounts to fifteen millions of dollars, and consists" of two items: 1st,
11,250,000 dollars payable to the Government of France, or to its assignees,
in a stock bearing an interest of six per cent., payable in Europe, and the
principal of which will be discharged at the Treasury of the United St«»<s,
in four instalments, the first of which shall commence in the year lbl«;
3dly, a sum which cannot exceed, but may fall short of, 3,750,000 dollars,
payable m specie at the Treasury of the United States, during the course
of the ensuing year, to American citizens havinn- claims of a certain description on the Government of France.
It has already been stated that two millions of dollars may be paid from
the specie now in the Treasury, on account of the last item; and the wf o!e
amount of the new debt which may eventually be created, cannot, there ore
exceed

FRASER millions of dollars; the annual interest of which is equal to

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
265
780.000 dollars; but, on account of commissions and variations of exchange,
will be estimated at eight hundred thousand dollars.
The existing surplus revenue of the United States will, as has been stated,
be sufficient to discharge six hundred thousand dollars of that sum; and it is
expected that the nett revenue collected at New Orleans will be equal to the
remaining two hundred thousand dollars. That opinion rests on the supposition that Congress shall place that port on the same footing as those of the
United States, so that the same duties shall be collected there, on the importation of foreign merchandise, as arc now, by law, levied in the United
States; and that no duties shall be collected, either on the exportation of
produce or merchandise, from New Orleans to any other place; nor on any
articles imported in the United States from the ceded territories, or into those
territories from the United States.
The statements F, O, H, exhibit the annual exports and imports of the
United States, to and from Florida and Louisiana, for the years 1799 to
1802; and the statement ( G ) particularly shows that the exportation
from the Atlantic States to those colonies, of articles not of the growth,
produce, or manufacture of the United States, amounted for the three years,
1799, 1800, and 1801, to 6,622,189 dollars, making an average of more than
two million two hundred thousand dollars of foreign articles liable to pay
duty, annually imported into Florida and Louisiana from the United States
alone.
It is ascertained that the exportation from the United States to Florida
are so trifling, that that statement may be considered as applying solely to
New Orleans; and it is also known that almost the whole of those importations were consumed within that colony; and that, during the war. the supplies from the United States constituted by far the greater part of its lmports.
From thence it results, that the annual importations into the ceded territory, of articles destined for the consumption of its own inhabitants, and
Which will, under the revenue laws of the United States, be liable to pay
duty, may safely be estimated at two million five hundred thousand dollars;
an amount which, at the present rate of duties, will yield a revenue of about
350.000 dollars.
„ , r „ .
From that revenue must be deducted 150,000 dollars, for the following
items, viz:
^^
_. ,,
1st. The amount of duties on a quantity of sugar and indigo, equal to that
which shall be imported from New Orleans to the United States, as those articles, beinc imported free from duty, will diminish by so much the revenue
now collected in the seaports of the United States. The whole amount of
sugar exported from New Orleans is less than 4,000,000 of pounds, and
that of indi-o is stated at about 30,000 pounds. Supposing (which, on account of that exemption, is not improbable) that the whole of those articles
should hereafter he exported to the United States, the loss to the revenue
will be about 100,000 dollars.
2d. No increase of expense in the military establishment of the United
States is contemplated on account of the acquisition of territory; but the
expenses of the civil administration of the province, and those incident to the
intercourse with the Indians, are estimated at 50,000 dollars ^leaving for the
nett revenue derived from the province, and applicable to the payment of the
interest of the new debt, 200,000 dollars, as above stated. The only provisions which, if that view of the subject be correct, appear necessary, and are
respectfully
submitted, are:
266
REPORTS OF THE
[1803.
1st. In relation to the stock of 11,250,000 dollars, to be created in favor of
the Government of France, or of its assignees.
That that debt be made a charge on the sinking fund, directing the commissioners of the fund to apply so much of its proceeds as may be necessary
for the payment of interest and reimbursement or redemption of the principal, in the same manner as, by the existing laws, they are directed to do
in relation to the payment of interest and discharge of the principal of the
debt now charged on that fund.
That so much of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as will be equal
to seven hundred thousand dollars, being the sum wanted to pay the interest of that new stock, be added to the annual permanent appropriation for
the sinking fund, making, together with the existing appropriation, eight
millions of dollars, annually applicable to the payment of the interest and
principal of the public debt.
And that the said annual sum of eight millions of dollars remain thus
pledged, and be vested in the commissioners of the sinking fund, in trust for
the said payments, until the whole of the existing debt of the United States
and of the new stock shall have been reimbursed or redeemed.
As a sura equal to the interest accruing on the new stock will thus be
added to the sinking fund, the operation of that fund, as it relates to the extinguishment of the existing debt, will remain precisely on the same footing
as lias been heretofore provided by Congress. The new debt will neither
impede nor retard the payment of the principal of the old debt; and the fund
will be sufficient, besides paying the interest on both, to discharge the principal of the old debt before the year 1818, and that of the new within one
year and a half after that year.
2d. In relation to the Americau claims, the payment of which is assumed
by the convention with France.
That a sum not exceeding 3,750,000 dollars, inclusive of the two millions
appropriated by a law of the last session of Congress, for defraying the extraordinary expenses incident to the intercourse with foreign nations, be appropriated for the payment of those claims, to be paid out of any moneys in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated.
That, for the purpose of effecting the whole of that payment, the President
of the United States be authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding 1,750,000
dollars, at an interest not exceeding six per cent, a year.
And that so much of the proceeds of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as may be necessary, be appropriated for the payment of the interest,
and for the reimbursement of the principal of the loan, \i hich may eventually
be effected by virtue of the preceding provision.
It is not proposed to charge that loan on the sinking fund, because its
amount, in case it shall be effected, cannot at present be ascertained; and because it may, perhaps, under the then existing circumstances of the Treasury,
be found more expedient not to borrow the money, and, in lieu of it, to pay
out of the sinking fund the whole, or a part, of the two last instalments payable by virtue of the convention with Great Britain, as authorized by the act
making provision for the payment of the whole of the public debt.
It is evident that the possibility of thus providing for the payment of the
interest of a new debt of thirteen millions of dollars, without either recurring to new taxes, or interfering with the provisions heretofore made for the
payment of the existing debt, depends on the correctness of the estimate of
the public revenue which has been submitted. Although it is not without
1803.
J
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
267
diffidence thai the hope of such a favorable result is entertained, some reliance is placed on the sftliditv of the basis on which the estimate is grounded.
It rests principally on the expectation that the revenue of the ensuing year
shall not be less than that which accrued during the year 1802. No part
of it depends on the probable increase which may result from the neutrality of the United States during the continuance of the war in Europe, nor
even on the progressive augmentation, which, from past experience, may
naturally be expected to arise from the gradual increase of population and
wealth. Nor has that effect been taken in consideration, which the uninterrupted free navigation of the Mississippi, and the acquisition of New
Orleans, may have, either on the sales of the public lands, or on the general resources of the inhabitants of the western States.
All which is respectfully submitted.
