A Lengthy Document Treating of
Financial Aft’alrj,
Secretory Carlisle's annual report on
the state of finances was sent to con
fines Monday. It shows that the reve
nues of tho government from all
sources during the last, fiscal year
umouutod to ^390,373,208. Tho ex
penditure!; during tho hhuio period ag
gregate $433,178,420, leaving a deficit
for the year of $42,805,223. An com
pared with tho lineal year 1804, the re
ceipt h for 1805 increased $17,570,705,
although there was a decrease of $11,-
329,981 in tho ordinary expenditures,
which is accounted for by a reduction
of $11,134,055 on sugar bounties. Tho
revenues for tho current flsoul year
aro estimated, under the basis of ex
isting laws, at $431,907,397, and the
expenditures nt $448,909,197, which
will leave u deficit of $.7,000,000.
For the coming fiscal year ending
June 30, 1807, tin* secretary estimates
the receipts at $404,793,120, and the
expenditures at $457,884,103, or un es
timated surplus of jj* 0,908,920. Tin see-
re tary states briefly tho facts concern

area during the last, season was 56,201,

of 1804. Tho catch on the seal islands
was 15,000. A careful count of all the
amils on tho islands last year makes the
number a little over 200,000, a do
orcase of ov* r one half since 1801,

The secretary devotes a large share
of his report to a discussion of the
condition of the treasury and the cur
rency, in the course of which he
makes un exhaustive argument in favor
ol the retirement of the greenbacks.
“Tho cash balance in tho treasury on
the lirRt day December, 1805,”' In*
i a vs, “was, $177,406,386, being $98,-
072,420 in excess of tho actual gold
reserve on tbut day, and $77,4m0,386 in
excess of uuy sum that it would bo nn-
cesHiiry to use for replenishing that
loud in mao the secretary should
at any timo ho able to exchange
currency for gold. There is, there■-
fore, no reason to doubt the nbilitjr of
iho government to discharge all its
current obligations during tho present
fiscal year, und have a largo cash bal
ance at its close, without imposing
additional taxation in any form upou
the people, but I adhere to tho opin
ion, heretofore expressed, that tho
secretary of tho treasury ought, always
to have authority to issue and sell, or
use in the payment of expenses, short
tmo bonds, bearing a low rate of in
terest, to supply casual deficiencies in
the r«*venue.
“With a complcto return to the nor
mal business conditions of the coun
try, and a proper legislative nml exec
utive supervision over expenditures,
the revenue laws now in force will, in
my opinion, yield ample means for tho
support of the public service upou tho
basis now established ; and upon the
assumption, which senna to be justi
fied, that tho progress now being
uindo toward the restoration of our
usual state of prosperity will continue,
without serious interruption, it, is esti
mated that there will be a surplus of
nearly $7,000,000 during the fiscal
year 1807. Dnring the fiscal years 1804
and 1895, tho ordinary expenditures
(*f the government have been decreased
$27,324,250.20 as compared with iho
fiscal year 1893, and it is believed that
with the co-operation of congress, fur
ther reductions can be made in tho fu
ture without impairing the efficiency
of Iho public service.
“1 he large withdrawals of gold in
December, 1894, and in January and
tho early part < f February, 1895,were
due a'rnoht entirely to a feeling of ap
prehension in the public miml which
increased intensity from day to day
until it nearly reached the propor
tions of a piinic, and it was evident to
all who were familiar with the situa
tion that, unless (ilcctuftl steps were
promptly taken to cheek tho growing
distrust, the government would be
compelled within a few days to sus
pend gold payments and drop to ft de
preciated silver and paper standard.
More than $43,000,000 of tho amount
withdrawn during tho brief period Just
mentioned, was not demanded fnr ex
port, but was taken out by pooplo who
had become alarmed on account of the
critical condition of the treasury in
its relations to .tho currency of tho
country.
Tho purchase of 3,500,000 ounces of
gold followed, it being in tho contract
that not less than one-lmlf of the gold
was to bo procured abroad, but after a
largo part of tho gold had boon fur
nished from abroad, tlie secretary, in
order to prevent dist-urhauco in the
rates of foreign exebango at a critical
period and avoid conditions which
would force gold exports and oonso-
' quent withdrawals from tho treasury,
acquiesced in a departure from tho lit-
erul terms of the contract, that oue-
| half of tho coin should he procured
abroad, and accepted deposits of gold
then held in this country fu complete
the delivery. Ordinary prudence de
manded that tho success of the plan to
protect Iho treasury against withdraw
als should not he endanger*.d by insist
ing upon a strict compliance with all
the details of Iho contract, und (•spec
ially as the government could sustain
no loss, and the whole amount of gold
stipulated for won secured.
“Tho total of bonds i. sued under
this contract was $02,315, i00, and tho
nmount, of gold received was $05,110,-
244.61.”

“Eonfl o ice iu our s-ccurities," ho
continues-, “was at once restored, aud
these i neon raging indications of in
creasing prosperity still continue, and
it is reasonably certain that, if our
progress is to be cm eked by a repeti
tion of large demands upon our re

Greenbacks and Ronds.
“Tho issue of bonds,” lio says, “to
produce coin for the reserve, which is
the only i fVocduni method now avail
able under tho law, will, unless condi
tions which have already been develop
ed by the present policy are radically
changed, ultimately result in the creu-
tion of a public debt much larger than
would bo re quired to retire and cancel
all tho notes; and the minimal interest
charge would be much greater than it
would bo necessary to incur on a now
class of bonds adapted by the prcBont
circumstance's of the government und
tho well known performances of inves
tors.
If, however, nn attempt is to be
made to keep tho United 8tat<s notes
nml treasury notes permanently in cir
culation by re-is'-uen alter redemption,
mid iho government is to be perma
nently charged with tho duty of sus
taining the valno of nil our currency,
paper and coin alike, the conclusion
cannot bo nvoiibd that the policy of
issuing bonds fur the accomplishment
( f these purposes must also become
permanent, and such additional pow
ers must bo confemd upon the secre
tary ns will enable him to execute the
laws relating to tbeso subjects with
the bust possible disturbance of the
businessH nHairs of tho people, aud the
least possible charge upon tho treas
ury. I am thoroughly convinced that
this policy ouaht not to bo continued,
but ihat the United Slabs notes and
treasury notes should bo retired from
circulation nt the earliest practicable
day, and that the government should
bo wholly relieved from tho responsi
bility of providing a credit currency
for lire people.
“It would be difficult, if not impos
sible, to devise a more inconvenient,
(xpensivo or dangerous system than
the one now in operation under the
laws providing for tho issue, redemp
tion and re,-issue of legal tender notes
by the government.
“If our legal tender notes were re
fin’d, tin re is abundant reason to be-
li* vc that a vi rv large amount of gold
which has bceu excluded from the
country by tho exclusive use of silver
and paper in dir circulation, would
prompt y return to take its place iu
our currency and constitute a pornm-
ncjjt part ot our medium of exchange.
“Thu retirement and cancellation of
Iho legal tender notes would not nec-
(ssnrily produce any contiaction of
tho currency, and if such a result
should follow, and continue for any
eoiisidi ruble pei iod, it would be a
d( monsirntion of iho fact that the
volume of currency previously exist
ing wna not, ncided In Iho business of
the | eoplo. for whenever tho volume
is r* duced below tho nclunl require*
mentH of trade, 1ho diflciency will bo
supplied cither from abroad in ex
change for uni products and securities,
or by iho bankers nt home, or by both.
r Ih*! Undid Hubs uot< s, and the
Do smy notes issned in payment for
a Ivor bullion, tog»ther amounting at
the beginning to $602,612,018; have
been u ed and are Mill being used to
withdraw gold irom the government
whenever our people or tho govern
ments or p( oplo of other countries « o
proper to d( mund it, for any purpose.
“Largo with drawls huvo been made
during tho lust three years, simply be
cause gold was wanted, and the desire
to secure gold was due to a growing
distrust of the other kindsof currency
in circulation, and not at all any np
prehension lliut thepovernxnnnt w< uld
not, be able to discharge all its oliga
lions in soroo kind of pay or gold.
“There is but one safe and i fbdual
way,” the secretary says, “to protect
our treasury against these demands,
and that, is to retire and cancel the
notes which constitute) the only menus
through which tho withdrawals can be
made.
“In order to further facilitate the
substitution of other currency for the
retirement of local tender notep, the
national banks should bo authorized to
issue notes equal in amount to the
face valno of lx nds deposited to se
cure them, and the tax on their circu
lation should lie reduced to cue fourth
of one per cent ix r annum.
Tho secretary also favors the pass
age of a law allowing national bonks
to establish branches in small towns
with a view to bringing them closer to
the people in parts of the country rc-
rmfte frein larger towns und cities, and
by which their usefulness would be
greatly enhanced.
Tho secretary, in concluding his( re
port, says that it is not probable that
any plan for the permanent retirement
of United 8totes treasury notes will
be adopted that will require consider
able time for its complete execution,
and ho therefore urges upon congress
the propriety of prohibiting any fu
ture issues of such notes, or of nation
al bank notes of less denominations
than ten dollars, thus making room in
the circulation for silver and silver
certificates of small denominations.
This, he says, would increase their uso
among the people and prevent their
frequent return to and accumulation
in the treasury.
