OOYKKNMK N T F I X A X ( ' F. S . The Secretary of the Treasury re ports that the receipts of the K-'vern-ment from all sources during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1803. amounted to $V'A,1U,M1, and its expenditures tc .f 150,37 1,071. There was collected from customs $ 200,3.",01(, and from internal revenue $101,027523. Ourdu tiahle imports amounted to 121,850, 711, an increase ol 52,133,007 over the preceding year, and importations free of duty amounted to 144,511,211, a decrease from the preceding year of $13,155,117. Internal revenue receipts exceeded those of the preceding year by $7,117,155. The total tax collected on distilled spirits was $01,720,200, and on manu factured tobacco $31,880,711, and on fermented lipjors$32,518,033. We ex ported merchandise during the year amounting to 817,00)5,10 1 a decrease of $182,012,051 from the preceding year. The amount of gold exported was larger than any previous year in the history of the government amount ing to $108,080,814, and exceeding the amount exported during the pre ceding year by 58,185,518. The sum paid from the treasury for sugar boun ty was 0,375,130, an increase over the prececding year of $2,033,053. It is estimated upon the basis of present revenue laws that the receipts of the government for the year ending June 30th, 1894, will be 130,121,305, and its expenditures $458,121,305, re sulting in a deficiency of 28,000,000. On the lust day of November, 1803, the amount of money of fdl kinds in circulation or not included in Treasury holding was 1,71,541,082, an increase for the year of 112,104,047. Estima ting our population at 07,420,000 at the time mentioned, the per capita cir culation was $25. 10. On the same day day there was in tho Treasury gold bullion amounting to $00,057,273, and silver bullion which was purchased at a cost of $120,2(51,552. The purchase of silver under she law of July 14, 1S0O, during the last fiscal year agregatcd 54.008, 102 line ounces which cost $45,581,374. The total amount of silver purchased from the time that low became operative until the repeal of its purchasing clause on the first day of November, 1803, was 1(58,074,500 fine ounces, which cost $155,030,040. Between the first day of March, 1873, and the first day of November, 1803, the government pur chased under all laws 503,003,717 fine ounces of silver at a cost of $516,022, 048. The silver dollars that have been coined under the act of July 14, 1800, numler 3(5.087,285, The seigniorage arising from such coinage was $0,077, 008, leaving in the mints 140.000,700 fine ounces of silver, which cost $120, 758,218. Our total coinage of all metals du ring the last fiscal year consisted of 87,280,875 pieces valued at $43,085, 178, of which there was $30,038,140 in gold coin ; 5,313,715, in silver dollars ; $7,217,220 in subsidiary silver coin, and $1,080,102 in minor coins. Du ring the calendar year 1802, the pro duction of precious metals in the United States was estimated to be 1, 50(5,375 fine ounces of gold of the com mercial and coinage value of 33,000, 000, and 58.000,000 fine ounces of silver of the bullion or market value of 50, 750.000 and of the coinage value of $74,080,000. It is estimated that on the first day of July 1803 the metallic stock of money in the United States, consisting of coin and bullion, amounted to $1, 213,550,100, of which 507,007,085 was gold, and $015,8(51.484 was silver. One hundred and nineteen national banks were organized during (lie year ending October 31, 1803 with a capi tal of $11,230,000. Forty six went in to voluntary liquidation and one hun dred and fifty eight suspended. Sixty five of the suspended banks were insol vent. Eighty six resumed business, and seven remaining in hands of bank examiners with prospects of speed v resumption. 1 Of the new banks organized 4i om f . 10 ca ed in the Eastern States, 41 west Mississippi river, and 34 in the cen tal and Southern States'.

When, however, through this restored confi dence the money which has been frightened into hoarding places is re turned to trade and enterprise, a sur vey of the situation will probably dis close a safe path leading to a perma nently sound currency, abundantly suf ficient to meet every requirement of our increasing population and business. In the pursuit of this object we should resolutely turn away from allur ing and temporary expedients, deter mined to be content with nothing less than a lasting and comprehensive fi nancial plan. Indeed I am convinced that reasonable delay in dealing with this subject instead of being injurious will increase the probability of wise action. (. i OVE RX M KXT P. OX OS. I desire also to earnestly suggest the wisdom of amending the existing stat utes in regard to the issuance of gov ernment bonds. The authority now vested in the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds is not as clear as it should be, and the bonds authorized are disadvan tageous to the government both as to the time of their maturity and rate of interest. JMMIGKAXTS. The Superintendent of Immigration, through the Secretary of the Treasury, reports that during the last fiscal year there arrived at our ports 440,703 im migrants. Of these 1,003 were not permitted to land under the limita tions of the law, and 577 were return ed to the countries from whence they came by reason of their having be come public charges. The total arriv als were 151,030 less than for the pre vious year. THE (.HEAT I EXSIOX ROLL. The Secretary of the Interior has the supervision of so main- important sub jects that his report is of especial value and interest. On the 30th day of June, 1803. there were on the pension rolls 0t0,012 names, an increase of 80,044 over the number on the rolls June 30, 1002. Of these there vere 17 widows and daughters of Revolutionary soldiers, 8(5 survivors of the War of 1812, 5,425 widows of sol diers of that war, 21,5.18 survivors and widows of the Mexican War, 3,882 sur vivors and widows of Indian wars, 2,284 army nurses, and 475,045 survivors and widows and children of deceased soldiers and sailors of the War of the Rebellion. The latter number represenats those pensioned on account of disabilities or death resulting from army and navy service. The number of persons re maining on the rolls June 30, 1803, who were pensioned under the act of June 27, 1800,which allows pensions on account of death and disability not chargeable to army service, was 150, 155. The number added to the rolls du ring the year was 123,(534, and the number dropped was 33,(500. The first payments on pensions allowed during the year amounted to $33,750,549,89. This includes arrears, or the accumula tion between the time from which :ho allaowance of pension dates and the time of actually granting the certificate. Although the law of 3 800 permits pensions for disabilities not related to military service, yet, as a requisite to its benefits, a disability must exist, inca pacitating applicants "from the perfor mance of manual labor to such a degree as to render them unable to earn a sup port." The execution of this law in its earlv stages does not seem to have been in accord with its true intension ; but toward the close of the last administra tion an authoritative construction was 1 1 V. ' L W 1 I V, llkVV . . I J I t . 1 V X . lllllk . . . I V this construction has leen followed. This has had the effect of limiting the operation of the law to its intended purpose. The discovery having been made that many names had been put upon the pension roll by means of wholesale and gigantic frauds, the Commissioner suspended payments upon a number of pensions which seemed to be fraudulent or unauthorized, pending a complete examination, giving notice to the pen sioners, in order that they might have an opportunity to establish, if possidle, the justice of their claims notwithstand ing apparent invalidity. I'EXSIOX FRAUDS. I am unable to understand why frauds in the pension rolls should not be exposed and corected with thorough ness and vigor. Every name fraudu lently put upon these rolls is a wicked imposition upon the kindly sentiment in which pensions have their origin ; every fraudulent pensioners has be come a bad citizen ; every false oath in ' o ;. ,H-Il:o;i !!., ,. .

The rejoi t of the Secretary of Agri culture will 1-e found exceedingly in teresting, especially in that large part of our citizens intimately concerned in agricultural occupations. On the 7th of March, 1803, there were upon its payrolls 2,430 employes. This number has. been reduced to 1,850 persons. In view of a depleted pub lic Treasury and the imperative de mand of the people for economy in the administration of their government, the Secretary has entered upon the task of rationally reducing expendi tures by the elimination from the pay rolls of persons not needed in an efficient conduct of the affairs of the depart ment. During the first quarter of the pres ent year the expenses of the department aggregated 345,875,70 as against $402, 012,42 for the corresponding period of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1803. The Secretary makes apparent his in tention to continue this rate of reduct ion by submitting estimates for the next fiscal year less by 094,280 than those for the present year. In the year 1830 the Congress ap propriated 1,000. to be taken from the Patent OiHcft funds, for the purpose of collecting and distributing rare and im proved varieties of seeds, and for pros ecuting agricultural investigations and procuring, agricultural statistics. From this small beginning the Seed Division of the Department of Agriculture has grown to it- present imwieldly and un just i f i ah 1 y e :.. t ra v ga n t pro po r t i ons . During the last fiscal year the cost (A -eeds purchased was $00,548,(51. The lernainder of an appropriation of 135,000 was expended in putting up and distributing them. It surely never could have entered the minds of those who first sanctioned appropria tions of public money for the purchase of new and improved varieties of seeds, for gratuitous distribution that from this would grow large appropriations for the purchase and distribution by members of Congress of ordinary seeds bulbs and cuttings, which are com mon in all the States and Territories and everywhere easily obtainable at low prices. In each State or Territory an agricul tural experiment station has been es tablished. These stations, by their very character and name, are the prop er agencies to experiment with anil test new varieties of seeds ; and yet this indiscriminate and wasteful distri bution by legislation and legislators continues, answering no ourpose un less it be to remind constituents that their representatives are willing to re member them with gratuities at public cost. Under the sanctum or existing legis lation there was sent out from the Ariculturai Department during tlie last fisciil year enough of cabbage seed to plant 10,200 of land, a sufficient quantity of beans to plant 4,000 acres, beet seed enough to plant 2,500 acres, sweet corn enough to plant 7,800 acres, sufficient cucumber seed to cover 2,025 acres with vines, and enough musk melon and watermelon seeds to plant 2.075 acres. The total quantity of flower and vegetable seeds thus distrib uted was contained in more than nine million packages, and they were suf ficient, if planted, to cover 80,50(5 acres of land. In view of these facts this enormous expenditure without legitimate returns of benefit ought to be abolished. An ticipating a consummation so mani festly in the interest of good adminis tration, more that 100.000 lias been stricken from the estimate made to cover this object for the year end ing June 30, 1805. and the Secreta ry recommends that the remaining $35,000 of the c-timate be confined stiictly to the purchase of new and im proved varieties of seeds, and that these be distributed through experi ment stations. STRICT ECONOMY FRGED. Economy in public expenditure is a duty that cannot innocently be neglect ed by tho.e intrusted with the control of money drawn from the people for public uses. It must le confessed that our apparently endless resources, the familiarity of our people with immense accumulations of wealth, the growing sentiment among them that the expen diture of public money should in some manner be to their immediate and per- :i .

I de-ire to urge, with all the earne-ti.e-s at ::iy com m and, that 'ngre.-si'.:j;l k-g:-Ia tion 1-e -o !::;.ited by -irict economy a t'i exhibit an appreciation of the Treas ury and a sympathy with the ?-traiten- e l circum '.ih'-c-s of our fellow citizens, The duty of public economy j- also of immerse importance in its intimate and riC'-e.-sary relation to the ta.-k i.ow in hand of providing revenue to meet government ex jiendi lures, and yet re ducing the people's burden of federal taxation. Till; TA KI IT. After a hard struggle tariff reform is directly lefore. Nothing so important claims ( ur attention and nothing so clearly presents itself as both an oppor tunity and a duty an opportunity to deserve the gratitude of our fellow cit izens and a duty imposed upon us by our oft repeated professions and by the emphatic mandate of the people. Af ter full discussion our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform, and they have confided the work of those who are solemnly pledged to it. If there is anything in the theory of a representation in public oliicers are really the servants of the people, and if promises and professions have any binding force, our failure to give the relief so long awaited will be sheer re creancy. Nothing should intervene to distract our attention or disturb our effort until this refoim is accomplish ed by wise and careful legislation. While we should stanehly adhere to the principle that only the necessity of revenue justifies the imposition of tariff duties and other federal taxation, and that they should be limited by strict economy, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown up among us which in justice and fairness call for discriminating care in the distribution of such duties and taxation as tlie emergencies of our government actually demand. Maniiestly. if we are to aid the peo ple directly through tariff reform, one of its most obvious features should be a reduction in present tariff charges upon the necessaries of life. The benefits of such a reduction would be palpable and substantial, .seen and felt by thousands who would be better fed and better clothed and better shel tered. These gifts should be the wil ling benefactions of government whose highest function is the promotion of the welfare of the people. roi: Fit ee i:aw materials. Not less closely related to our peo ple's prosperity and well being is the removal of restrictions upon the importation of the raw materials nec essary to our manufactures. The world should be open to our national ingenuity and enterprise. This can not be while federal legislation, through the imposition, of high tariff, forbids to American manufacturers as cheap materials as those used by their competitors. Tt is quite obvious that the enhancement of the price of our manufactured products resulting from this policy not only confines the mar ket for these products within our own borders, to the direct disadvantage of our manufacturers, but also increases their cost to our citizens. The interests of labor are certainly, though indirectly, involved in this feature of our tariff svslem. The sharp competion and active struggle among our manufacturers to supply the limited demand for their goods fill the narrow market to which they are confined. Then foiiows a suspen sion of work in mills and factories, a discharge of employes and distress in the homes of our workingmcn. Even if the often disproved assertion could be made go(xl that a lower rate of wages would result from free raw materials and low tariff duties, the in telligence of our workingmcn leads them quickly to discover that their steady employment, permitted by free raw materials, is the most important factor in their relation to tariff legisla tion. A measure has been prepared by the appropriate Congressional committee embodying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested which will be promptly submitted for legislative action. It is the result of much pa triotic and unselfish work, arid I le lieve it deals with its subject consis tently and as thoroughly as existing conditions permit. I am satisfied that the reduced, tariff duties provided for in the proposed leg islation, added to existing internal rev enue taxation, will in the near future, thorgh perhaps not immediately, pro duce sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the government. SMALL INCOME TAX. The committee, after full con-iteration, and to which may provide against a temporary deficiency which may ex ist before the business of the country adjusts itself to the new tariff schedules, have wisely embraced in their plan a few additional internal revenue taxes, including a small tajc upon incomes -,' ' . !. . : ' , r; ''?.'. ; j.
