October, 1.864. ibis n I iition to our indebtedness Is smaller than might have been apprehended, yet is greater than if the currency had value, and thereby the expenditures had been re din ed : and the large amount of taxes paid had contributed exclusively to the relief of the Treasury. i’he foreign debt, consisting of a single item, | is omitted ; the whole amount being under 1 $2.260,n0t), is adequately provided for by the j colton owned by the Government, even at sixpence per pound ; the quantity being about i 256,000 bales. The expenditures of the current quarter, it ’ is e r umed. will t>e met from the following re ] sources, viz : : treasury notes : amount unex pended of the proportion appli ! cable to the payment ofexpendi t urea, ’ $80,000,000 j Taxes : amount to be received for the last quarter of 1864, estima ted it 35,000,000 Bands, certificates of indebtedness and loans on hypothecgHon of bonds, 47,000,000 $162,000,000 Tito cpvtifiv’fttps of in.it-li'eifoeaa, provided by (lit- act oi 17lb February, 1864, did not prove >ii lAvoritc an investment aa was andcipated, ■h i Bit; amount ot’ tbeee securities, taken in I-ment by public creditors up to Ist October, j is $2,000,6(16 only. From the sale of bonds ■and loans ou hypothecation of -bond!, about : 1 000.000 war, rained, and from the new Issue ! ol treasury notes $283,000,000. Tito lar;;0 and rapid issue of treasury notes is iin- move to be regreted from the failure of the measures relied upon to sustain their value and j c l:toe expenditures. The new notes are re vived by the public at a value scarcely, any i tier tbn the old. and, as a consequence, tfo. | expenses have not declined. i'lt ' currency demands the immediate and Mho gravest consideration ot Congress. Unless .1 uniform aud stable value can be given to the j Treasury notes, Iho effort to carry on the .war through their instrumentality, must of necessi v bo abandoned. Acquiescence in its de piorablo depreciation, is to court the min to which it leads. One hundred and thirty five dollars in currency, the price obtained for one hundred dollars in six per cent, bonds, is equal to six dollars only in specie ; and to sell the bonds at this rale is, in reality, to dispose of diem at ninety-font per cent, discount ; or, iu oilier words, to give a bond lor oud hundred dollars, iu consideration of the loan of six dol- Therejs not a man of property in the coun try who would not prefer any fair measure of taxation, rather than procure a temporary and treacSerous prosperity by the sale of mort geges on his estate at this ruinous rate. Tito depreciation of thecurieucy, proceed h ; from redundancy, and the want of confi dence in its ultimate redemption, can only be • one. ted by measures that, shall both diminish, : volume and sustain the public confidence. I '• measures adopted by Congress to reduce t! ■-currency, did not combine these esseutial elements oi success. Those who had taken old notes, relying on the good faith ot the i Government, on find ting them suddenly de ptivedot one third of their nominal value, be jitic alarmed, and received the new notes j under strong apprehensions of ft repetition of ;t.c u'.case.re. At the time, too. that the cur . ren, net. provided for a circulation exceeding hundred millions of dollars, it circntn vibed and reduced the demand for the notes, ;■ making the four per vent, bonds, receivable ;; the payment 6f flaxes. By the Ist day of August $176,006,600 of the new notes had al ready been issued, and less than $10,000,000 s: diced for the payment of taxes collected at that date. Depreciation commenced at once, and proceeded at so rapid a rate that by the Ist day of October, gold was selling at twenty-five d-diais for one. The tsv.'r- -fly of providing a speedy and etfi- I;a. remedy tor this condition of thing* is ob vious, i fie bonds h;ie to iu- gold for this cur rency ; the taxes mnst be collected in it a? > t hence all the means ol the Government lor the purchase of supplies will consist ot this welinw. Admitting that the amount which may ha raised from these sources, is nominally equal.to the estimated expenditures, there is yet no secur ity against such a further decline in the value of the notes a3 will disappoint present calcula tions, arid add enormously to the accumulation of the public debt. The time, therefore, seems ho have arrived when Congress should take measures to restore and sustain the currency, ot make provision lor its honorable redemption, and resort to the use of specie and bank-notes. The adoption of the last alternative, it is fenred.* would produce greet embarrassment: in the community, and the impossibility o? obtaining an adequate supply of specie and bank notes for the wants of the Government, would cre ate the necessity for a system cf universal im pressments, followed t-y incalculable suffering and distress. That the Government must be supplied with sufficient means to carry on the war, aU are agreed, Our enemy offers us no termsshort of unconditional surrender of life, liberty and property, and no choice is left us, even if we were disposed to hesitate, which we are not, but to continue the war. The adoption there fore, of a permanent and effectual system ci fi nance is indispensable to the full development and unconstrained use of our resources. The return to specie payment being for the present impracticable, the enquiry is whether it is pos. sible to restore and maintain ilie value ot the treasury notes as a currenoy. The accomplish ment of this end is of such vast importance, that it is, of all others, that to which- the re sources of the country should be devoted and applied. Were it possible to anticipate the productions of future yeats of peace, and con vert them into money for immediate use. the expediency of resorting to such a measure could not be doubted. May not a near ap proach to it he made by devoting a portion of those future productions to the purpose of im parting to the treasury notes a high and sta ble value? I submit that this may be done, and respectfully propose a plan for its accom- plishment. It is an act pledging'the faith of the Govern ment against the issue of treasury notes beyond the amount authorized by the net of 17th Feb ruary, 18G4; exempting the notes from taxa tion; providing for the application of twenty per cent, of the taxes annually to the i eduction, of that amount until peace be declared or the outstanding sum be reduced to $150,000,000, continuing the tax in kind after the war, and appropriatingjan ascertained proportion thereof annually to the redemption or payment of the circulation, untii'tho whole shall be ii-Fred. I propose that the redemption shall be made from the tithes of cotton, wheat and corn, at prices fixed by tin*act, namely: cotton at fifty cents per pound, wheat ul four dollars per bushel, and coin at two dollars per bushel; that, the notes be received after the war, from all persons liable to the tax in kia l ( in c on mutation of their t ithes; and that the Secre tary of the Treasury be authorized to issue certificates in exc-bango for treasury notes, bear ing per cent interest, secured and redeem able in the same manner ami on the same terms as the notes themselves, free from taxation and receivable after the war in payment of the lax in kiitd; and that irii not. s, received into the treasury for these certificates, bo can celled. The effect of this measure would bo that, at present prices, the entire population would be interested in exchanging their productions for treasury notes. They would constitute not only a safe currency, but. a profitable invest ment, lor in the ratio of ten dollars for one, as compared with specie, the produce obtained in payment at the close of the war, would cost 4lie following prices, i ix: cotton five cents per pound, wheat foity cents per bushel and corn twenty cents. These nominally low prices would not operate to the pmljmtice of Ike ag ricuKurist, for his tax, being in kind, would neither be increased nor diminished by tire price. Jt is true lie would have a collateral interest hi common with lax payers generally, (tor of course all interest will be taxed,) in the redemption of the notes at a moderate rate. In this respect his interest would be pyoleeUd by the prices stipulated by the ai t which are not too low for a time of peace. But if they were, a full compeinafioti would aCriee to the taxpayer in the immediate enhancement of the notes ami consequent reduction of expenses.. Afid the producer would find a complete in demnity >a the sale of a bushel o! com now at four dollars, &3‘l the application of the money to the payment of a tax heiyailer of two bush els. m In snggesting ths three articles of cotton, whtat and coin, as a specific pledge for the redemption of the currency, no immunity from their lull proportion of taxation is intended to he implied, in respect, to other obi ets ut the tax in kind, or uny subject of taxation what soever. Those are only Assigned to this par ticular ofii eor function because of their pc culiar adaptation thereto. Tile following is an estimate of Iho it.sources to be thus applied, viz:’wheat, twenty five million lmshels;' Indian coin, (wo hundred million bushels, p.nd cotton, two million baba A tax ot too per cent, would yield as fol lows: Wheat, two million five hundred thousand bushels at' four dol lars, $16,009,000 Indian corn,twenty million bush e’sat two dollars, ' 40,000,006 Cotton, two hundred thousand bales, at S2OO per bale 40,000,000 $90,600,000 This amount applied annually would redeem the notes outstanding'in four or five years. The credit due to t his estimate may ha itifeiiod from the following nummary of the crops of the Confederate States before she war, taken from the census ot 18(50.

By this change the choired amount of revenue will be secured,.and tire prominent inequalities of taxation, now the subject of complaint, will be redressed. . . The ia* in kind being ten per cent, and its value in currency, $145,000,000, it follows that the pi'odi.cliQPs taxed amounted in value to $1,450 It; D; oed the assessed value of Ihe properly from which these productions are de rivt .l being $2,909,768,778.40, it is apparent that Uic- press income of $1,450,000,000 is equal to fifty per cent, of the assessed value of the property, JTvne<\ an ngricultural estate of the valve of Sri 00,000. nihjcct to an ad valo rem hv:.,pf Fwjlild, yielded a gross income of $-50,1100; The tithe of this income ($5,000) paid the properly tax and left undiminished s!s,i od.(s<'fof:onie.

Tliece inequalities gave rise to grave j complaints, whilst auy amount of taxation. ] equitably distributed, would doubtless be [ chserinty met. The collection of n large sum in Texas is! essential to the reform id the currency, and > the country is in a condition the mi st favora- ! ble to bear the burden. The abutidauce of, money and high price ol every species ot prop’- j erty and supnlie<. would render the payment ! easy and nee from embarrassment. Tire Treas ury will derive little aid limn this source in the present year. The tax on the currency ■brought no tevenue, operating only as a re. duction of the ci) dilation. The other taxes, with comparatively little exception, will be received in four per cent bends. The taxes upon propeity and income respectively, are, to some extent, nominal ooiy:‘ t *he ad valorem tax on property engaged in agriculture being discharged* by "the credit of the tax in kind, and the income tax on other property dimin ished by the whole sura of the*nd valorem tax. These abatements, and the payments in lour per cent, bonds, results in reducing the revenue from taxation (exclusive of the soldiers’ tax) to about $10,000,000. The accompanying able report of the Com missioner of Taxes is referred to for ranch val uableand interesting information ou this im portantT subj eet. Computing the property of the country at the present estimated value, the following is the existing rat i of taxation, viz: Value ot real and personal property iu currency, rated at live to seven times the valuation of 1860, 24.656,449,551 Total amount of taxes, inelu *diag th etax in kind, ami the soldiers’ tax 287,000 000 which is at the rate of one and one si*th per cent. With this estimate of the resources of the Confederacy, the taxes proposed for Ihe ensu ing year cannot bo deemed excessive. The sum of $360,000,000, reduced into specie at twenty dollars for one dollar, is only $18,060.- 000. and this amount, applied to the values of viz: $4,351,167.157, is at the rate of less "than one-hall' of one per cent. And if*the calculation ii made in currency, viz: $360,600,- 066, upon an assessment of $24,656,449,551, it would amount to one and a halt per cent. — And when it is remembered that with the pay ment of the taxes quarterly, a measure which 1 strongly recommend, less than one fourth of the currency will suffice for the quarter’s tax, and the amount collected in any one quarter will be restored to the circulation before another becomes payable, it is apparent that the re sources of tho country are amplo to meet the proposed increase of taxes. It may be objected that the several meas ures combined will unduly reduce the circula tion, and expose the country to the evils of a declining and insufficient currency. The reply to this objection is, that the evils predicated are to some extent, inseparable froin the re - duction of the currency nnd.lho improvement of its value. Auy measures that are successful iu effecting the desired reform musfoot* ueces-' sitv, be followed by the trials Unit attend upon such a transition. If Congress does not in<* impose, and by some such measures as 1 have ventured to recommend, restore tile currency, gradually, judiciously, and by means of volun tary action, it will assuredly rectify itself by some violent and disastrous convulsion. The developments attending the execution of the Currency Act of Februray 17, 1864 re veal clearly that the great body of the circu lation is held in iin derate sums by persons ol limited means, in all classes of the papulation. The deposits hold by the banks, large* as they, are in the aggregate, proved to be the aceunin lations of iudiykiu al depositors in all parts of the country. The repo, tof the depositaries ap pointed for funding the old notes show that soldiers,.soldiers’ families and the poor goner ally, have been the heaviest sufferers by the tax oti the currency and its depreciation. In view of the large stake of the poorer classes of society in the currency, the responsibility o f living the value and establishing the security of tl(p-notes, assumes the gravity of a sacred duty. The soldier, and all who are forced to the immediate use of their money, are without ihe chance of u dress for the loss they Hiistain by the depreciation, whereas the ..apitaliin has it hi his power; to -indemnify himself; and even reap a profit by investing in public bonds. The measures proposed may be expected to correct this inequality, and give to those who claim our sympathy n mortgage upon opr fu ture supplies for bread qt tnr prices, and when tho war is over Ihe country will enjoy the sat isfaction of having prolecledjts delenders from want. * ‘ ■ If the propose;! reform should bo followed by a general upd large decline in prices, the result would be hailed- with the )ivalient satis faction, except by those whose imprudent in vestments l'.ave contributed to the derange ment we desire to correcK No improvement of the currency nn be expected that will not. be attended by an immediate decline of prices. 11, will, therefore, fie idle to fay that the re form of the curiency is desired, if wo are will ing that existing prices should be continued, and to shrink from measures that will beat tended by the result:-! indicated, ia to oppose the reform of the currency'. Ibe time for hes itation is past, and ope of two alternatives must be adopted. Measures sho rid be taken, with out delay, to revive confidence in tho treasury notes and uphold their value, or a tax paya ble in specie and the notes of solvent banks be resorted to. In the mod favorable lighten which the notes eat) be regards.l the purcha sing quality docs not exceed one to seven or eight, as compared with specie; and the bonds are even lower in value, being sold at, the late of one hundred dollars in bonds ter nix dollars in specie. To continue such exchanges, if, in deed, for any length, of time it- were possible, would be ruinous. But my conviction ia, that it, is impossible to persevere, and unices prorapT and decided nieastit'cs of reform are adopted, the progress of depreciation will be acca’tuated , and our emb.i.rassments become inpnrmounta- : ble. I would, therefoTe, earnestly urge upon Congress the necessity of acting with dispatch, and, by Ihe adoption of vigorous and decided measures, restore the value of the currency and avert the calamity with which we are threatened. To remove apprehensions of our ability to b'-ar with eoaveuiauee the increased taxation recommended, it will softies to call attention to the amount of inx s paid this year. The total amount of taxes is es timated at $374,183,414 Rot from this sum must he de ducted tho credit given for the tax in kind anil thuincom 1 ti.y, viz 128,787,245 Leaving as the amount of taxes actually paid .$245,401,169 To this amount must be added the tax on treasury notes of thirty three and a third per cent ; andjas tho four; per cent, bonds have declined in value to $66 66 pei SIOO, (lie tax. in fdxect, included the whole sum of issues, except iu so far at the bonds were lined at tar ju the payment of taxes, viz : Total issue $797,792,000 Less estimated am’t t>f four per cent, bonds receivable in payment of tax es 89,000,000 $768,792,000 $708,792,000 at thiriy-thn-e and a third per cent-. 236,264,000 Sum of taxation actually borna by the people in 1864 $481,605,169 Os thi3 S';nr there was received i:i aid of the Treasury, viz : Tax in kind valued at $145,527,431 Tax paid in currency 40,000,000 £185,52* ,431 It is now proposed to raise $360- 000.000, which wili bring into the treasury an excess over last year of 174,472 569 $360,000,000 whilst toe sum of taxation to be met by tha people will lie $121,665,109 less than last year. I would lespeetfullv recommend that all Government bonds >tnd stocks, and loans of every description to the Government, bo de clared free from taxation, except upon the in come derived therefrom; and that the income tax be at the same rate and subject to the same conditions as other income taxes. The pol icy of this measure is obvious. Under exist ing laws, except in the case of tha live hun dred million loan and the certificates of in debtedness, the income derived from fiotvin - ment securities is nearly all taken back in the form of taxation. One eft'aet is to drive the* 1 bouds abroad and create a. foreign debt that will be found oppressive on the return of I peace, and another is to raise a preference for j other investments over Government securities Many investments yield larger income than simple interest, anil are capsule of bearing the tax; but the interest on Government loans be fog limited, and not susceptible of augmenta tion, the tax of five per cent, absorbs nearly the entire income. In the case ot the four per cent, bonds the whole would be takea. and when it is remembered that this rate of inter est is tow, and that the loan was in a measure ; compulsory, this class of public creditors i seems particularly entitled to the considera tion of Congress. Tender regard for the. just claims of those who, confiding in the honor ! and good faith of the Government, responded j to its calls for pecuniary aid, will be attended by no loss, since they who deal the mc-t hon orably with the creditor invariably borrow on the best and most economical terms. I would particularly call attention to'a class of creditors now lending their money to the Treasury at four per cent interest, on the hypothecation of the six per ceat. non-taxable bond3. It is obviously the interest of Govern ment to exempt these loans from taxation, iu like manner with the bonds they represent. The tax also upon Ihe banks desesves, in a particular manner, the careful consideration of Gongress. It would be a conspicuous wrong to constrain these institutions to wind up their affairs, and aserious loss, both to tho pbuii. and the Government to deprive the country ot the support to be drawn from the concentra ted capital they possess. This, I think, must eventually be.the effect of the present tax if confirmed, and I recommend a modification of i tiie law, such, in my opinion, as w ill give the desired relief, and leave the revenue uudimiu ished. The assets of the banks represent the the following interests: 1. The capital belonging to the stock holders 2. The surplus fund also belonging to the stockholders. 3. The deposits belonging to their custom ers. 4. Outstanding circulation belonging to the bill holders. 'I lie following pfon of taxation is proposed : 1. That the ml calorfm tax belaid upon the sum of the capital and surplus profits, being the total properly of the stockholders ex pressed in currency. 2. That deposits lie free from taxation, as consist of treasury notes only, n tax upon which reacts upon the Government. 3. That a tax of 25 per cent he laid upon the notes of the bank payable in specie and Treasury notes, the former iu the propor tion that Ihe specie held by the bank beam to the sum of the outstanding notes; provided, that all bill holders, presenting their notes at ► tiie bank and making affidavit that the notes were there, on the day ot the passage of the act, the property of loyal citizens or aliens in amity with the Confederate Slates, shall be taxed five per cent, only., ajid in the same pro portions as to specie and Treasury notes. And that it be made the duty of ihe bank to record the notes thus presented, with the names of the persons holding the name, and to collect and pay the tax, and to report to the proper officer for sequestration, as iq the hands of tiie enemy, all not as not presented for record and taxation under the provisions of tha act. The circulation of the banks on the Ist of January, 1859, was as follows, and flic re is no reason to suppose that it is now auy less : Virginia....: $10,349,342 North Carolina 6,262.626 Georgia 1 L 687.582 South Carolina' y 176,333 Alabama G. 651.117 Louisiana 9094,6(19 Mississippi 10(1,4(1(1 Tennessee.- 6,472,823 $59,797,231 If limited to the five first named States tiie tax would still operate on a sum of forty three million dollars; and if tho returns shall exhib it a smaller amount than this, the residue would be brought under sequestration, and contribute more largely than the tax to the re lief of the treasury. The courts having decided that, under the act of 15th February, 1862, section twent y seven, the four per cent, bonds, issued under the act of 17th February, 1864, to reduce the currency, aye receivable in payment of proper ty sold under the sequestration laws, I - would respectfully call the attention of Congress to the subject. This cannot have been the iuten firm, and aa no other bonds are thus applied, but such as are under par, I receommed tiie no pea! of that provision of the law. I would also direct the attention of Congress to the 7 30 notes. Tiie payment of interest ia attended with the rbk of frauds, and the regu lations adopted for tiie security of the treasury are found inconvenient to the public. For these reasons it is desirable to change the form of these (obligations, and I recommend that authority be given to issue six per cent, cou pon bonds in exchange for the notes. This measure would effect a saving in interest of one million three hundred thousand dollars annually, which sum capitalized i-r equal to a reduction of nearly twenty millions dollars of the principal of tho debt.' • In the act (>f June 14, 1864, to increase the coionc.qsation of the heads of the several exe cutive departments, and other (dicers and. clerks of tha Government, the terms’ u;-d have been decided hot to include the Coaimia- 1 sinner of Taxes, and the heals o f the other bu- i reans of the Treasury Department. It is not supposed to have been thb intention of Con ■ gizss to deny these officers the relief extended to others, and I suggest (be early passage of an act to bring them witbin the meaning and entitle them to the benefits of the act of let June. The third section of the act “to forces to serve during tiie war, approved 17th February, }864, authorizes (he Secretary ol the Treasury to issue bonds for the pay ment of tiie bounty provided by rise act, but Qmits to fix a time for the payment of the bonds; and i respectfully recommend that the act be amended in that particular- I have the honoj to report that the agency of the Tieasury in the Trans Mississippi dc paitment has been organized and put in opera tion,-after ft protracted delay occasioned by the difficulty of communication. The same cause lias retarded the receipts therefrom of stab: meats exhibiting the result of the funding and of its other operations. Supplies of tiie new issue of treasury notes, of bonds and certifi cates of indebtedness, have been'sent to that i department, and there is every ground to be- I Sieve that order and efficiency will soon take place, and the difficulties and embarrassments hitherto experie-ioed there be-removed. The reports of the Chiefs of the IToduCe Loan Bureau and of the Treasury Note Bureau will lie submitted to Congress in a separate communication. G. A.
