37TH CONGRESS, SENATE. Ex. Do. 1st Session. No. 2. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, ON THE FINANCES, Containing estimates of the public revenue and public expenditures, and plans for improving and increasing the revenue. JULY 16, 1861. —Resolved, That five hundred copies of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the condition of the finances, with the accompanying documents, be printed for the use of the Treasury Department. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July 4, 1861. SIR: The Secretary of the Treasury is required by law to prepare and lay before Congress, at the commencement of every session, a report on the subject of finance, containing estimates of the public revenue and public expenditures, and plans fobr improving and increasing the revenue. This duty, always important and responsible, is now rendered doubly important and responsible by the peculiar circumstances under which the present session of Congress is held. A vast conspiracy against the union of the States, and the very existence of the national government, which has been gathering strength and preparing hostilities in secret for many years, has at length broken out into flagrant violence, and has assumed proportions so serious that an extraordi.nary exertion of' the public force, creating extraordinary demands upon the public resources, is required fbr its speedy and complete discomfiture and suppression. In the judgment of the Secretary, the clearest understanding of the actual condition of the public finances, and of the measures demanded by its exigencies, will be obtained by considering the whole subject under the following general heads: I. The balance arising from the receipts and expenditures of the fiscal year 1861, ending on the 30th of June. II. The demands upon the treasury, arising under existing appropriations or created by the new exigencies for which provision is to be made during the fiscal year 1862. III. The best ways of providing for these demands and the means available for that purpose. 2 REPORT OF THE I. RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. The balance in the treasury on June 30, 1860, as shown by the last annual report to Congress, was $3,629,206 71 The receipts for the year ending June 30, 1861, have been: From customs: 1st quarter - - - $16,119,831 22 2d quarter - - - 8,174,167 69 3d quarter - - - 9,772,574 57 4th quarter (in part estimated) 5,527,246 33 Aggregate - 39,593,819 81 Of this amount the sum of $35,417,102 11 has been received in coin, and $4,176,717 70 in treasury notes.

WAYS AND MEANS. To provide the large sums required for ordinary expenditure and by the existing emergency, it is quite apparent that duties on imports, the chief resource for ordinary disbursements, will not be adequate. 6 REPORT OF THE The deficiencies of revenue, whether from imports or other sources, must necessarily be supplied from loans; and the problem to be solved is that of so proportioning the former to the latter, and so adjusting the details of both, that the whole amount needed may be obtained with certainty, with due economy, with the least possible inconvenience, and with the greatest possible incidental benefit to the people. The Secretary has given to this important subject the best consideration which the urgency of varied public duties has allowed, and now submits to the consideration of Congress, with great deference and no little distrust of his own judgment, the conclusions to which he has arrived. He is of the opinion that not less than eighty millions of dollars should be provided by taxation, and that two hundred and forty millions should be sought through loans. It will hardly be disputed that in every sound system of finance, adequate provision by taxation for the prompt discharge of' all ordinary demands, for the punctual payment of the interest on loans, and for the creation of a gradually increasing fund for the redemption of the principal, is indispensable. Public credit can only be supported by public faith, and public faith can only be maintained by an economical, energetic, and prudent administration of public affairs, and by the prompt and punctual fulfilment of every public obligation. It has been already stated that the appropriations for the ordinary expenditures of the fiscal year 1862, including the permanent and indefinite descriptions, amount to $65,887,849 34, and the interest to be paid on the debt to be incurred during the year, has been estimated at $9,000,000; making an aggregate of ordinary expenditures of $74,887,849 34. If to these sums be added $5,000,000, as a provision for the reduction and final extinguishment of the public debt, the total will be $79,887,849 34. To provide for these payments, at least, it is proposed, in accordance with the principle just stated, to raise by taxation the sum of' not less than $80,000,000. In considering the choice of means to insure a revenue adequate to the purposes just indicated, the attention of the Secretary has been necessarily drawn to the different modes of taxation authorized by the Constitution. The choice is limited to duties on imports, direct taxes, and internal duties or excises. Duties on imports constitute the chief form of indirect taxation. Direct taxes include capitation taxes, taxes on real estate, and probably general taxes on personal property included in lists embracing all descriptions and valued by a uniform rule; while under the head of internal duties or excises may be included all taxes on consumption, and taxes on particular descriptions of personal property, with reference to use rather than value. The principal advantages of a system of direct taxes are found in the sensibility with which they are felt and observed; in the motives thence arising for economy and fidelity in administration; and in the manifest equity of distributing burdens in proportion to means, rather than in proportion to consumption. On the other hand, the advan SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. 7 tages of indirect taxation, by duties on imports, are found in economy of collection, in facility of payment, in adaptability to the encouragement of industry, and, above all, in the avoidance of federal interference with the finances of the States,whose main reliance for revenue for all objects of State administration must, necessarily, be upon levies on property. These considerations have doubtless determined the preference which has always been evinced by the people of the United States, as well as by their legislature and Executive, for duties on imports, as the chief source of national revenue. Only on occasions of special exigency has resort been had to direct taxation, or to internal duties or excises. No departure is proposed by the Secretary from the line of policy thus sanctioned. He ventures to recommend only such modifications of the existing tariff as will produce the principal part of the needed revenue, and such resort to direct taxes or internal duties or excises as circumstances may require, in order to make good whatever deficiency may be found to exist. That the present tariff of duties will not produce the revenue required by sound principles of finance, under existing circumstances, is a proposition which will command general assent. It was framed, indeed, with reference to a very different condition of affairs. The receipts for the last quarter of the fiscal year, just closed, were only $5,527,246 33; and, though a very considerable improvement in the revenue may be confidently anticipated during the current fiscal year, should no change be made in the rates of duties, it, will be inadequate, beyond doubt, to the demands of the treasury, which should be provided for without resort to loans. These demands, as has been already stated, will reach the sum of T79,887,849 34-a sum not greater perhaps than may be reasonably expected in more prosperous years from a well-adjusted tariff of duties with the aid of the revenue from lands and from miscellaneous sources, though greater than can now be expected from any tariff. The disorders of business incident to the disturbed condition of political afi-firs will be gradually redressed, as new channels open to receive the trade obstructed in former courses, and new employments engage the industry displaced from former pursuits. With this revival of trade and industry, the revenue will improve, even though the restoration of peace may be delayed beyond our present hope. It is hardly to be doubted, moreover, that the great body of the citizens of the States, now involved in the calamities of insurrection, will, ere long, become satisfied that order and peace, and security for all rights of' property and for all personal and political rights, in the Union and under the Constitution, are preferable to the disorder and conflict and insecurity necessarily incident to attempts to subvert government, break up institutions, and to destroy nationality by force and violence "When, under the influence of this reasonable conviction, the people of the several States, now constrained by the criminal foJ ly of political partisans into civil war against the Union, shall, in their turn, constrain these partisans to loyalty to law and obedience to the Constitution, it is not unreasonable to expect that with restored Union will come, 8 REPORT OF THE not merely renewed prosperity, but prosperity renewed in a degree and measure without parallel in the past experience of our country. While recommending the changes in the existing tariff and the other revenue measures which seem to him necessary, the Secretary indulges, therefore, a confident expectation that they will ultimately prove wholly adequate to all reasonable demands for ordinary expenditures, for payment of interest, and for reduction of debt; and that they will, moreover, by establishing national credit on sure foundations, contribute in no inconsiderable degree to that revival of trade and industry which, by its healthful reaction, will, in turn, essentially promote the increase and security of the revenue. The sources of revenue, most promptly to be made available, must be sought, doubtless, in the articles now exempt from duty, or but lightly taxed. Nearly all these articles have heretofore contributed in full measure to the national income. It was only when the debts contracted in former wars for the establishment of our national independence, or the vindication of our national rights, had been fully paid, and the revenue had increased largely beyond any legitimate uses of the government, that it was thought proper to remove the duties on some of them, and largely reduce the duties on others. That intelligent patriotism which chieerfully sustained the former charges will even more cheerfully sustain those made necessary now for,the preservation of our national Union and the maintenance of the sovereignty of the people. Of the articles now lightly taxed, sugar, and of those wholly exempt from duty, tea and coffee, are the most important. The Secretary most respectfully proposes to Congress that a duty of two and a half cents per pound be laid on brown sugar; of three cents per pound on clayed sugar; of four cents per pound on loaf and other refined sugar; of two and one-half cets per pound on syrup of sugar cane; of' six cents per pound on candy; of' six cents per gallon on molasses, and of four cents per gallon on sour molasses; and it is also proposed that a duty of five cents per pound be imposed on coffee; fifteen cents per pound on black tea, and twenty cents per pound on green tea. From these duties it is estimated that an additional revenue of not less than twenty millions of dollars annually may be raised; while the burden of this revenue upon our own people will be, in some considerable degree, mitigated by participation on the part of the foreign producers. Without going here into other details of less importance, the Secretary thinks it proper to add, in general, that from proposed duties on articles now exempt, and fiom changed duties on articles now either lightly burdened or so heavily taxed that the tax amounts to a prohibition, a further increase of revenue to the amount of seven millions of dollars may be anticipated; and that the improving condition of trade and industry warrant a just expectation that the revenue from the duties of the present tariff, not affected by the proposed changes, will not fall short for the current year of thirty millions of dollars. He estimates therefore the total revenue from imports during the present year at fifty. seven millions of dollars, to which may be addedl the sum of three millions to be derived from sales of public lands and miscellaneous sources; making the total revenue for the year sixty millions of dollars. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. 9 While, therefore, there is every reason to believe that under a modified tariff, when the prosperity of the country shall be fully restored, an annual revenue of not less than eighty millions of dollars, and probably more, may be realized, it will be necessary, in order to sustain fully the public credit, to provide for raising the sum of twenty millions of dollars, for the current year at least, by direct taxes, or from internal duties or excises, or from both. The Constitution requires that the former be apportioned among the States, in the ratio of federal population; the latter need only be uniform throughout the United States. Taxes on real estate, and perhaps general taxes on personal property, must therefore be apportioned. Taxes on distilled liquors, on bank notes, on carriages, and similar descriptions of property; must not be higher in one State than taxes on the same articles in another State. The Secretary submits to the superior wisdom of Congress the determination of the question whether resort shall be made to direct taxes or to internal duties, or to both, for the supply of the probable deficiency of that portion of the public resources which, upon the principles already explained, must be furnished by taxation. The value of the real and personal property of the people of the United States, according to the census of 1860, is $16,102,924,116, or, omitting fractions, sixteen thousand millions of dollars. The value of the real property is estimated at $11,272,053,881, and the value of the personal property at $4,830,880,235. The proportion of the property of both descriptions in the United States, excluding those at present under insurrection, is $10,900,758,009, of which sum $7,630,530,605 represents, according to the best estimates, the value of the real, and $3,270,227,404 the value of the personal property. A rate of one-eighth of' one per cent. ad valorem on the whole real and personal property of the country would produce a sum of $20,128,667; a rate of ore-fifth of one per cent. on the real and personal property of the States not under insurrection would produce the sum of $21,800,516; and a rate of three-tenths of one per cent. on the real property alone, in these States, would produce $22,891,590; either sum being largely in excess of the amount required. In some of the States the revenue for all purposes of State, county, and municipal expenditure is raised in this manner, and the assessments of real and personal property, levied on valuations made under State authority, form a certain and convenient method of collection. If such valuations existed in all the States it would not be difficult, through the assumption and payment by the several States of their several proportions of the tax, or through the co-operation of the State authorities in its collection, or through federal agencies created for the purpose, but using the State valuations to assess and collect the levy for national purposes. It is the absence of such valuations in some of the States, and the uncertainty of effective co-operation in all, which make the employment of an extensive and complicated federal machinery for the collection of direct taxes necessary, and supply the basis of the most serious objections against that mnode of levying internal lrevenue. 10 REPORT OF THE It has been objected also, and not without apparent reason, to a resort to direct taxes at this time, that, in consequence of the disturbed condition of the country, the apportionment required by the Constitution cannot be made. The Secretary, however, adopts the opinion that the constitutional requirement will be satisfied if Congress, in the act levying the tax, shall apportion it among the several States in the required manner. The tax cannot become unconstitutional because it may be difficult, or even temporarily impossible, to collect it as apportioned. If it were otherwise, the objection would be fatal to internal duties as well as to direct taxes; for in the present condition of the country it is impossible, whatever uniformity may be observed in the law imposing such duties, to make them uniform in collection. Internal duties may be collected more cheaply than direct taxes, by fewer agents, and with less interference with the finances of the States. They may also be made to bear mainly upon articles of luxury, and thus diminish, to a certain extent, the burden imposed by duties on imports upon the classes of the people least able to bear them. It has been already shown that a light direct tax, from which, the Secretary ventures to suggest, very small properties may be properly and advantageously exempted, will produce the sum needed for revenue. In the judgment of the Secretary the needed sum may also be obtained from moderate charges on stills and distilled liquors, on ale and beer, on tobacco, on bank notes, on spring carriages, on silver ware and jewelry, and on legacies. If both sources of revenue be resorted to, to the extent suggested, the amount required from loans will be proportionally diminished, and the basis of the public credit proportionally enlarged and strengthened.'Whether both these modes of taxation be resorted to under present emergencies, or only one of them, the Secretary will but illy perform his duty to Congress or the people if he omits to urge the great importance-the absolute necessity indeed-of such full provision of annual revenue as will manifest to the world a fixed purpose to maintain inviolate the public faith by the strictest fidelity to all public engagements. It will not, perhaps, be thought out of place if the Secretary suggests here that the property of those engaged in insurrection, or in giving aid and comfort to insurgents, may properly be made to contribute to the expenditures, made necessary by their criminal misconduct, as a part of the punishment due to the guilt of involving the nation in the calamities of civil war, and thereby bringing distress upon so many innocent citizens. Congress may justly provide for the forfeiture of the whole or part of the estates of offenders and for the payment of the proceeds into the public treasury. Before dismissing the subject of the proper provision for ordinary expenditures, including interest on public debt and a proper amount for a sinking fund, the Secretary respectfully asks the consideration of Congress for the question whether the current disbursements of government may not be themselves diminished? He ventures to suggest that a considerable saving may be judiciously effected by a reduction, for the time at least, of ten per centurn upon salaries and wages paid by the federal government, in cases where such reduction SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. 11 will not interfere with existing contracts; and that a further saving, perhaps not less considerable, may be effected by the abolition of the franking privilege and the reduction of' postal expenses. Retrenchment in other directions will doubtless suggest itself to the reflection of Congress; and it is most respectfully recommended that every retrenchment, compatible with the vigor and efficiency of the public service, be promptly and effectively made. The Secretary has already said that on the supposition that eighty millions of dollars may be raised by taxation in the modes proposed, or derived from sales of public lands and miscellaneous sources, it will still be necessary, in order to meet the extraordinary demands of the present crisis, to raise the sum of two hundred and forty millions of dollars by loans. A. comparison of the acts by which loans have been already authorized and of the loans actually made, will show what resources of this description are available under existing laws. The act of June 22, 1860, authorized the borrowing of $21,000,000 at an interest not above six per cent. Under this authority Mr. Secretary Cobb, in October, 1860, negotiated a loan of $1i0,000,000; but from causes not necessary to be here specified, the takers of $2,978,000 failed to make good their offers. The amount realized was, therefore, only $7,022,000; leaving for fiture negotiation, under the act, the sum of $13,978,000. The act of the 8th of February, 1861, authorized another loan of $25,000,000, on bonds at six per cent, and permitted the acceptance of the best bids, whether above or below par. Under this act, in February, 1861, Mr. Secretary Dix disposed of bonds to the amount of $8,006,000, at rates varying from 90.15 to 96.10 for each $100, and realizing the sum of $7,243,500 35, leaving to be negotiated the sum of $16,994,000. The act of March 2, 1861, commonly called the tariff act, authorized another loan of $10,000,000, at an interest not exceeding six per cent., and also authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue treasury notes in exchange for coin; or in payment of debts, for the amount of any bids not accepted under the act of February 3, 1861, and for the amount of any loans restricted to par not taken under proposals authorized by the act of January, 1860, or by the tariff act itself. Under the acts of February and March, 1861, the present Secretary in April, 1861, disposed of $:S,099,000 in bonds, at rates varying from ninety-four per cent. to par, and $4,901,000 in treasury notes, at and above par, realizing for the $8,000,000 offered the sum of $7,814,809 80 to the treasury; and in May, 1861, he further disposed of $7,310,000 in bonds, at rates varying from eighty-five to ninety-three per cent., and $1,684,000 in treasury notes, at par, realizing for the $8,994,000 offered the sum of $7,922,553 45. The present Secretary also invited proposals, at par, for $13,978,000, being the balance of the loan authorized by the act of June, 1860. No bids were received, except three for $12,000 in the aggregate, which, having been made under misapprehension, were permitted to be withdrawn or applied as offers for treasury notes at par, or for bonds under 12 REPORT OF THE the act of February, 1861, at eighty-five per cent. The Secretary has since, under the authority of the act of' March, 1861, issued treasury notes to offerers at par, and in payment to public creditors, to the amount of $2,584,550. The only authority now existing for obtaining money by loans is, therefore, found in the act of March 2, 1861, which authorizes the issuing of bonds, bearing an interest of 6 per cent., or, in default of offers at far for such bonds, the issue or payment of treasury notes, bearing the same rate of interest, at par, to the amount of $10,000,000; and in the act of June 22, 1860, as modified by the act of March 2, 1861, under which treasury notes at 6 per cent. may be issued or paid to creditors at par, to the amount of $11,393,450; making an aggregate of loans, authorized in some form, of $21,393,450. This authority, under existing circumstances, is no further available than as creditors may desire to accept payment in treasury notes at 6 per cent.; which is not to be expected, except, perhaps, as an alternative to delays, of which a just or prudent government will not, unless under extreme necessity, permit the occurrence. It needs no argument to work the conviction that, under the existing laws, a very small part only of the required sum can be realized. The magnitude of the occasion requires other measures. As the contest in which the government is now engaged is a contest for national existence and the sovereignty of the people, it is eminently proper that the appeal for the means of prosecuting it with energy to a speedy and successful issue should be made in the first instance, at least, to the people themselves. And it is highly desirable, in order that the circle of contribution may be widely extended, to make the burden press as lightly as practicable upon each individual contributor, and, if possible, to transmute the burden into a benefit. To attain these desirable objects, the Secretary submits to Congress the expediency of opening subscriptions for a NATIONAL LOAN Of' not less than one hundred millions of dollars, to be- issued in the form of treasury notes, or exchequer bills, bearing a' yearly interest of seven and three-tenths per centumn, to be paid half'yearly, and redeemable at the pleasure of the United States after three years from date. The sum of one hundred millions is named as the amount for which it now seems expedient to rely on a subscription of this kind; but it is not intended to restrict loans in this form to any precise limit short of the entire sum which may be required, in addition to the sums to be realized from other sources, for all the purposes of the year. The interest of seven and three-tenthls is suggested, because it is liberal to the subscriber, convenient for calculation, and, under existing circumstances, a fair rate for the government. It is beneficial to the whole people that a loan distributed among themselves should be made so advantageous to the takers as to inspire satisfaction and hopes of profit rather than annoyance and fears of loss; and, if the rate of interest proposed be somewhat higher than that allowed in ordinary times, it will not be grudged to the subscribers when it is remembered that the interest on the loan will go into the channels of home circulation, and is to reward those who come SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. 13 forward in the hour of peril to place their means at the disposal of their country. The convenience of calculation incident to the rate proposed is quite obvious; for, the interest being equal to one cent a day on fifty dollars, it is only necessary to know the number of days since the date of a note or of the last payment of interest, to determine, at a glance, the amount due upon it. To increase still further this facility of calculation it is proposed also to issue the treasury notes of this loan in sums of fifty, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand, and five thousand dollars, with the amount of' interest for specified periods engraved on the back of each note. The facility thus secured to the holder of' determining the exact amount of the note and interest, without any trouble of computation, will materially enhance its value for all purposes of investment and payment. While the rate proposed is thus liberal and convenient, the Secretary regards it also as, under existing circumstances, fair and equitable to the government. The bonds of the United States, bearing an interest of' six per cent. and redeemable twenty years after date, cannot be disposed of' at current market rates, so that the interest on the amount realized will not exceed seven and three-tenths per cent.; nor is there any reason to believe that treasury notes, bearing an interest of six per cent, receivable for public dues and convertible into twenty years' six per cent. bonds, can be disposed of in any large amounts, so that the interest on the sum realized will fall much, if' at all, short of the rate proposed. For the difference of interest, if any, between such notes and those of the proposed national loan, the Secretary thinks that the absence of the feature of receivability for public dues in the latter is a sufficient compensation. To secure the widest possible circle of contribution, the Secretary proposes, in addition to the inducements just mentioned, that books be opened at the office of the Treasurer of the United States in Washington; at the offices of the assistant treasurers and depositories of public moneys, and at the offices of such postmasters and other selected persons in such cities and towns of the Union as may be designated; that subscriptions be received for fifty dollars or any sum being the multiple of fifty dollars; that the sums subscribed be paid in cash, or, if the subscriber prefer, in instalments of one-tenth at the time of subscription and one-tenth on the first and fifteenth days of each month thereafter, the first instalment to be forfeited in case of non-payment of' subsequent instalments; that interest accrue and be paid as it becomes due on all sums paid in from the day of payment; and that treasury notes be issued, if required, for all payments except first instalments, and fbr these on final payment. The Secretary cannot doubt that for a loan so beneficial and so advantageous, secured both as to interest and principal, by adequate provisions of revenue, an appeal to the people will be answered with promptitude and liberality. In addition to the sums to be raised by national loan, the Secretary proposes, in case it shall be found inexpedient to provide the whole amount needed in that mode, that bonds or certificates of debt of the United States be issued to lenders in this country or in any foreign 14 REPORT OF THE country, at rates not lower than par, for sums of five hundred, one thousand, and five thousand dollars, or of one hundred, five hundred, and one thousand pounds sterling, not exceeding in the aggregate one hundred millions of dollars, or, if expressed in the currency of Great Britain not exceeding twenty millions of pounds sterling. He proposes further that these bonds or certificates be made redeemable at the pleasure of the government after a period not exceeding thirty years after a common date, not later than the first day of January, 1862, and bear an interest not exceeding seven per cent, payable in London, or at the treasury of the United States, with exchange at such rate as will make the payment equivalent to payment in London. If the ample provision already recommended for the punctual payment of interest and final redemption of the principal be made by Congress, the Secretary entertains a very confident expectation that it will be found practicable to negotiate a very considerable part of this loan, if not the whole, in our own country at favorable rates, and that whatever part, if any, may be wanted from capitalists in other countries will be readily obtained. For whatever sums may be needed to supply the full amount required for the service of the fiscal year, and as an auxiliary measure to those already proposed, the Secretary recommends that provision be made for the issue of treasury notes for ten, twenty, and twenty-five dollars each, payable one year after date, to an amount not exceeding in the aggregate fifty millions of dollars. These notes should bear interest at the rate of three and sixty-five hundredths per cent., and be exchangeable, at the will of the holder, for treasury notes or exchequer bills, payable after three years, bearing seven and three-tenths per cent. interest; or, should it be found more convenient, they may be made redeemable on demand in coin, and issued without interest. In either form, treasury notes of these smaller denominations may prove very useful, if prudently used in anticipation of revenue certain to be received. The greatest care will, however, be requisite to prevent the degradation of such issues into an irredeemable paper currency, than which no more certainly fatal expedient for impoverishing the masses and discrediting the government of any country can well be devised. In connexion with the general subject of revenue, the Secretary thinks it his duty to invite the attention of Congress to the condition of foreign commerce, and of the commerce between the States as affected by the existing insurrection. At the ports of several States of the Union the collection of lawful duties on imports has been forcibly obstructed and prevented for several months. This condition of affairs, and the admission of foreign merchandise into those ports without payment of duties to the United States, have given opportunity to many frauds on the revenue, and must, necessarily, occasion great and harmful disturbance of the regular commerce of the country. It is the province of Congress to apply the proper remedies for these evils; and the Secretary begs leave to suggest that proper remedies may be found in closing the ports where the collection of duties is so disturbed, or by providing for such collection on shipboard, or elsewhere beyond the reach of such obstructions. Every independent SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. 15 nation exercises the right of determining what ports within its territorial limits shall be, and what ports shall not be, open to foreign commerce; and nothing can be clearer, where one or more ports may be temporarily in the possession of insurgents against the government, than that suitable regulations may be prescribed by the proper authority to guard the revenue against diminution, by adequate provision for its collection elsewhere than within the port, or for depriving the port itself of its character as a port of entry or delivery until the insurrection shall be suppressed. Great inconvenience and damage to the commerce among the States have also arisen from the same general cause. To mitigate these evils, and to prevent, as far as possible, the perversion of commerce between the States into an agency for the supply of the insurgents with means for maintaining and extending the insurrection, the Secretary issued the two circular orders to collectors, ot which copies are herewith submitted to Congress. In framing these orders, the Secretary was necessarily much embarrassed by the absence of any law regulating commerce among the States, and by the necessity of conforming them to conditions otf hostility created by the insurrection. These conditions, under certain circumstances, would make all commerce illegal; while, under other circumstances, they would only make unlawful the commerce carried on directly with insurgents. To remove embarrassment, legislation is required; and the Secretary respectfully recommends a suitable enactment giving to the President the power to determine by proclamation or other notification within what limits an insurrection has obtained, for the time, controlling ascendancy, and must, therefore, be regarded as attended by the effects of civil war in the total suspension of commerce, and to establish by license such exceptions to that suspension as he may deem expedient and practicable. Such an enactment should also provide suitable penalties and forfeitures for attempts to carry on unlicensed commerce with insurgents or places declared to be in a state of insurrection. With a view to a clearer understanding of the views expressed in this report, and for the purpose of promoting the despatch of the public business, so important at this juncture, the Secretary has caused to be prepared, and begs leave most respectfully to submit to the consideration of Congress, as plans which seem to him judicious for improving and increasing the revenue, the draughts of three bills: one to provide revenue from imports, and for other purposes; another, further to provide for the collection of duties on imports, and other purposes; and another, to authorize a national loan, and for other purposes. In compliance with the law on that subject, he also transmits detailed statements of the several negotiations for loans since the last annual report from the Treasury Department, and also a statement showing the gradual increase and present condition of the public debt. The Secretary is fully and painfully aware that in preparing and submitting this report he has labored under great and peculiar disadvantages. He has but recently assumed the charge of the vast and complicated concerns of his department, and he is deeply conscious 16 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. how imperfectly he is qualified by experience, by talents, or by special acquirements, for such a charge. He understands, also, better, perhaps, than any one outside can understand, the difficulties incident to the task of which he has attempted the performance-difficulties always considerable, but now augmented and multiplied beyond measure by the criminal insurrection which deranges commerce, accumulates expenditures, necessitates taxes, embarrasses industry, depreciates property, cripples enterprise, and frustrates progress. He has simply endeavored, under these perplexing circumstances, to meet the case just as it is; to set forth plainly the actual condition of the public finances; and to explain the means and measures by which, in his humble judgment, the evils of the existing situation may be mitigated and finally removed. The energies of a great people will, as he firmly believes, surmount all the troubles and calamities of the present time, and, under the good hand of the God of our fathers, out of these very troubles and difficulties build a future which shall surpass the whole glorious past in the richness of its blessings and benefits. All which he respectfully submits to the indulgent consideration of Congress. S. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury. Hon.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, February 13, 1861. Sealed proposals will be received at this department until 12 o'clock noon of' Saturday, the 23d day of February instant, for eight millions of dollars of the stock of the United States, to be issued under the act of Congress of the 8th instant authorizing a loan, at which time the proposals will be opened and decided. The stock will be reimbursable in twenty years from the first of January last, and will bear interest at six per cent. pet annum, payable semi-annually on the first days of January and July of each year. No offer can be accepted for any fraction of one thousand dollars; nor will any offer be considered unless one per centum of the amount thereof is deposited with a depositary of the United States, subject to the order of' the Secretary of the Treasury. The certificate of such deposit must accompany each proposal. The offers must be unconditional, without reference to other offers, and must state the sum offered for each hundred dollars of such stock. The proposals should be indorsed on the outside, " Proposals for loan of 1861," and be addressed on the outside to the " Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C." The bidders under the foregoing conditions will be immediately informed by mail of the decision on their proposals. If accepted, they must deposit the amount offered and accepted with the Treasurer of the United States, or with the assistant treasurer at Boston, New York, or Philadelphia, on or before the first day of March proximo. Should successful bidders desire to deposit at other points, on communicating such wish to this department it wilt he considered. Certificates of inscribed stock will be issued to the accepted bidders or their assigns in sunms of one thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand dollars, to the amount to which they may be respectively entitled upon their deposits as aforesaid, carrying interest from the date of such deposit at the rate of six per centurn. Such stock will be transferable on the books of the trecasury, agreeably to the regulations of the department. Should any of the successful bidders request certifcates of stock with coupons of semi-annual interest attached, payable from the 1st July next, such certificates will be issued in sumns of one thousand dollars each, with such coupons attached thereto; and such coupon stock, instead of being transferable on the books of the treasury, may be assigned and transferred by the delivery of such certificates. The interest on this coupon stock, from the date of' the deposit until the first day of July, will be paid on that day to the accepted hidder or his attorney, by the depositary with whom the principal was deposited. The preliminary deposit of one per centum required from all bidders under this notice will be included in the final deposit of' principal by successful bidders, and will be directed to be immediately returned to unsuccessful bidders.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, March 22, 1861. Sealed proposals will be received at this department until 12 o'clock noon of Tuesday, the 2d day of April next, for eight million dollars of the stock of the United States, to be issued under the act of Congress of the 8th of February last. This stock will bear interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually on the first days of January and July in each year, and will be reimbursable in twenty years from the first day of January last. The proposals should be indorsed on the envelopes,'"Proposals for loan of' 1861," and be addressed to the " Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C." They will be opened and decided at the time above stated. No offer can be accepted for any fraction of one thousand dollars; nor will any offer be considered unless one per centum of its amount is deposited with a depositary of the United States, subject to the order of the Secretary of the Treasury. The certificate of such deposit must accompany each proposal. All offers for stock under this notice must be unconditional, and contain no reference to any other offer. The offers must state the sum offered for each hundred dollars of' the stock. Bidders for this stock, whose offers shall be accepted, must deposit the amount offered and accepted with the Treasurer of the United States, or with the assistant treasurer at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, or with the depositary at Cincinnati, on or before the fifteenth day of April next. Should any successful bidder desire to deposit at any other point, his request to that effect will be duly considered. Upon the receipt at this department of certificates of deposit with the depositaries above-mentioned, certificates of inscribed stock will be issued to the successful bidders or their assigns in sums of one thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand dollars at their option. Inscribed stock so issued will carry interest from the date of the deposit of the money as above stated, and will be transferable on the books of the treasury, agreeably to the regulations of the department. Should any successtul bidder desire certificates of stock with coupons of the semi-annual interest thereon attached to each certificate, they will be issued in sums of one thousand dollars each, with attached coupons for interest from the first day of July next; and such coupon stock, instead of being transferable on the books of the treasury, may be assigned and transferred by the mere delivery of such certificates. The interest on such coupon stock, from the date of the deposit of the money therefor until the first day of July, will be paid on that day to the accepted bidder or his attorney by the depositary with whom the principal was deposited. The preliminary deposit of one per centurn required from all bidders under this notice will be included in the final deposit of principal by successful bidders, and will be directed to be immediately returned to unsuccessful bidders.

On the 19th of April, 1861, the President of the United States, by proclamation, declared the ports of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas under blockade, and, on the 2th of the same month, by another proclamnation, declared the ports of Virginia and North Carolina also under blockade; since which proclamation this department has received reliable information that attempts are frequently made to furnish arms, munitions of war, provisions and other supplies to persons and parties in those States in open rebellion against the constitutional authorities of the Union. It becomes my duty, therefore, to instruct you to cause a careful examination to be made of the manifests of all steam or other vessels departing from your port with cargoes whose ultimate destination you have satisfactory reason to believe is for any port or place under the control ofa such insurrectionary parties, and to compare the same with the cargo on board; and, if any such manifest be found to embrace any articles of the description before mentioned, or any such articles be found to constitute part of the cargo, you will take all necessary and proper measures to prevent the departure of the vessel and to ldetain the same in your custody until all such articles shall be removed therefrom, and for further proceedings according to law. You will also make a careful examination of all flatboats and other water craft, without manifests, and of railroad cars and vehicles arriving at or leaving your port laden with merchandise. the ultimate destination of which you have good reason to believe is for any port or place under insurrectionary control, and if arms, munitions of war, provisions, or other supplies are found having such destination, you will seize and detain the same, to await the proper legal proceedings for confiscation or forfeiture. in carrying out these instructions you will bear in mind that all persons or parties in armed insurrection against the Union, however such persons or parties may be organized or named, are engaged in levying war against the United States, and that all persons furnishing to such insurgents arms, munitions of war, provisions or other supplies, are g~iving them aid and comfort, and so guilty of treason within the terms of the second section of the third article of'the Constitution and you will, therefore, use your utmost vigilance to prevent the prohibited shipments, and to detect and to bring to punishment all who are in an'y way engaged in furnishing to such insurgents any of the articles above described. Z You will, however, on the other hand, be careful -not to interrupt vexatiously or beyond necessity, by unwarranted or protracte-d detentions and examinations, the regular and lawful commerce of your port. You will report, forthwith, whether any, and if any, what additional measures may be necessary, in your judgment, to carry into full effect the foregoing directions; and you will report to this department, from time to timne, your action under these instructions. S. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury. 64 REPORT OF TE No. 10. TREASURY DEPARTMENT June 12 1861. SIR: Referring to the circular instructions of the 2d ultimo, prohibiting the transmission of munitions of war, provisions, or other supplies, to parties in insurrection against the United States, you are now further instructed to exercise the utmost vigilance in arresting and detaining all merchandise of whatever character, the ultimate destination of which you have satisfactory reason to believe is for insurgents a,ainst the United States, or for places under their control. If you atre satisfied, either from the nature of the articles or otherwise, that any merchandise, wherever destined in name, is in fact destined for persons or combinatios in actual insurrection against the government of the United States, you will cause the same to be seized and proceeded against for forfeiture. If, however, you are satisfied that any merchandise, transmitted for States or places uLder insurrectionary control, is not intended for actual insurgents, and has been shipped or forwarded without intent to afford aid and comfort to such insurgents, or otherwise to violate the law, you will simply detain such merchandise, and notify the shippers or forwarders, or their agents, of such detention, and state the cause thereof' If' such shipper or forwarder, personally or by agent, shall satisfy you that the merchandise so arrested will not be sent to any place under insurrectionary control, but will be either returned whence it came, or be disposed of in good faith for consumption within loyal States, you will restore possession of the same, and allow such disposition thereof to be made as the parties in interest may desire. You will regard all States in which the authority of the United States is temporarily subverted as under insurrectionary control; but any portions of such States in which the laws of the Union and the authority of the federal government are acknowledged and respected will be considered as exempt from any interruption of commerce or intercourse, beyond such as may be necessary in order to prevent supplies going' to insurgents or to places under their control. It is the intention of' the department to leave the owners of all property perfectly free to control it in such manner as they see fit, without interference or detention by officers of the federal government except foDr the purpose of preventing any use or disposal of'such property for the aid and comfort of insurgents, or in commerce with States or places controlled by insurgents.
