All eyes ure naturally turned to the report of the Secretary of ye Treasury, in view of the serious interests affected by his policy and recommendations. Secretary McCulloch, in this able document, says that the present legal- tender acts were war measures, and while the repeal of those provisions which made the United States notes lawful money is not now Tecommended, the Secretary is of the opinion that they ought not to remain in force one day longer than shall be necessary to enable the people to prepare for a return to the constitu. onal curieney, and that the work of retiring the notes which have been issued under them should be commenced without delay, and care. fuily and persistently continued until all are retired. The rapidity with which the Government notes can be withdrawn will depend upon the ability of the Secretary to dispose of securities. ‘The influences of funding upon the money market will sufficiently prevent their too rapid withdrawal. The Secretary, however, be- lieves that a decided movement towards a con- traction of the currency is notonly a public necessity, but that it will speedily dissipate the apprehension which yery generally exists, that the effect of such a policy must necessarily be to make money scarce and to diminish the pros- perity of the country. Secretary McCulloch proceeds at considera- ble length to show that there need be no ap- prehension that a reduction of the currency unless it be @ violent one—will injuriously af- fect real prosperity, and he points out the plethora of paper money is not only under- mining the me s of the people by encouraging Waste and extrayaginer, butis striking at the root of our material prosperity by diminishing labor. Theevyil is not at present beyond the control of legislation, but it is daily increasing, and, if not speedily checked, will,at no dis- tant day, culminate in wide-spread disaster. ‘The remedy, and the only remedy within the control of Congress, is, in the opinion of the Seeretary, to be found in the reduction of the currency. Itappears that, withont including sevenand three-tenths notes, many of the small denomi- nations of which were in circulation as mone: and al! of which tend in some measure to swell the inflauon, the paper mouey of the councry amounted, the 3ist of October, to the sun of S754.21S 4 » which bas been daily in- creased by the no ince furmshed to the National Banks, and is likely to be still fur- ther increased by those to which they are en- titled, until the amount authorized by law (30 00) shall have been reached, subject to such rednetion 4s may be made by the with- drawal of the notes of the State banks. These figures are a history ip themselves, exhibiting not only the past and present condi- tion of the country, in matters of exceeding interest, but indicating unerringly the danger- ous direction in which the financial current is sweeping. On the 30th of September fast, the deposi bd the National Banks «Jone amounted to $5447 150.194; their loans—estimating their national securities ts a loan to the Govyernment—to $913,(45,629: both of which items must have been increased during the month of October: while on the 3ist of that month the circulation: bank and national, had reached the startling amount of upwards of 700,000,000. Nothing beyond this statement is required to exhibit the present inflation or to explain the causes of the current and advancing pric disaster fol- lowed the expansions Of 1-37 aud 1557, what must be the consequences of the preseatexpan- sion unless speedily checked and reduced! it is undoubtedly true that trade is carried on much more largely for cash than was ever the case previous to 1$61, and that there is a much grealer proper demand for money than there would be if sales were made, as hereto- fore, on credit. Itis also trne that there is a larger demand than formerly tor money on the partof manufacturers for the payment of op- eratives, But, making the most liberal allow- ances lor the increased wholesale demand ari- sing trom these causes and from the advance of the country in business and population, it is apparent from the foregoing statements, if the advance in prices did not establish the fact, that the circulating medium of the country is altogether excessive. Every consideration, therefore, that has been brought to the mind of the Secretary confirms the correctness of the views he has presented. if the business of the country rested upon a stable basis, or if credits could be kept from being still further increased, thera would be less occasion for solicitude on this subject. But such is not the tact. Business is notin a healthy condition; it is specniative, feverish, uncertain Every day that contraction is deferred in creases the difficulty of preventing a financial coNapse. Prices and credits will not remain as they are. The tide will either recede or ad- vance; and it will not recede without the exer. eise of the controlling power of Congress. The Secretary, therefore, respectfully but earnestly recommends— First. That Congress declare that the com- pound interest notes shall cease to be a legal tender from the day of their maturity. Second, That the Secretary be authorized, in his discretion, to sell bonds of the United States, bearing interest at a rave not exceeding *ix per cent., and redeemable and payable at such periods &s may be conducive to the inter- ests of the Government, for the purpose of retiring not only compound interest notes, but the United States notes. 1t is the opinion of the Secretary, as has been already stated, that the process of contraction canpot be injuriously rapid; and that it will not be necessary to retire More than one hun- dred, or at most two hundred millions of United States notes, in addition to the cou- pound notes, before the desired result will be attained. But neither the amount of reduction, nor the time that will be required to bring up the currency to the specie standard, can now be estimated with any degree of accuracy. The first thing to be done is to establish the policy of contraction. When this is effected, the Sec- retary believes that the business of the ceun- try will readily accommodate itself to the pro- posed change in the action of the Government, and that specie payments may be restored without a shock to trade, and without a dimin- ution of the public revenues of productive in- dustry. Various plans have been suggeated for the payment of the debt, but the Secretuary sees no way of accomplishing it but by an increase of the national income beyond the national ex- penditures. In 4 matter of so great importance us thie, experiments are oul of place. The plain beaten path of experience is the ouly sale one to tread. ‘The first step to be taken is, to institute mea- eures for funding the obligations that aregsuon toiature. The next is, to provide for raising, in & manner the least odious and oppressive to tax-payers, the revenues necessary to pay the interest on the debt, and a certain definite amoumt annuaily for the reduction of the prin- cipal. The Secretary respectfully suggests that on this subject the expression of Congress should be decided and empbatic. It is of the greaiest Importance in the management of a matter of 50 surpassing interest that the right startshould be made. Nothing but revenue will sustain the national credit, aud nothing less than a fixed policy for the reduction of the pablic debt wall be likely to preventits in- crense. The statement of the probable receipts and expenditures for the next fiscal year is, in the highest degree, satisfactory, According to the estimates which are believed to be reliable, the receipts of that year will be sufficient to pay all current expenses of the Goverument, the interest on the public debt, and leave the hand- some balance Of S111,62.5i8 12 to be applied toward the paymentot the debt itself. The Secretary bas already recommended tha he be authorized to sell bouds of the United States, bearing interest at a rate not excerding six per cent, for the purpose of retiring Creas- ury notes and the United States nots. He fur- ther recommends that he is authorized to sell, in his discretion, bonds of asimilar character tomectany deficiency for the present fiscal year, to reduce the temporary loau by such an Amount as he quay deem advisable, to pay the certificates of in debiedness as the mature, and also fo take up any portion of thedebt ma_ turing prior to 1869 that can be advantageously ret red. The following estimate of the time which would be required to pay the national dr bt (if furded at five per cent. and at five and one- halt per cent.) by the payment of 820,010,400 seein d on the interest and principa', and aleo of the diminution of the burden of the debt by the increase of productions, may vot be without interest to Congress and to tax payers. The national debt, deducting moneys ta the Tre AsvTY, Was, on the Sist of October, 1863, $2.740,.854.°50. Without attempting a nice cal- culation of the amount it may reach when atl our liabilities shall be accurately ascertained, | it ecems snfe to estimate it, on the Ist of July, If, at three thousand millions of dollars, The * exact amount of existing indebtedness yet un- _E_ OOO settied, and the further amount that may ac- crue in the interyal, aro not now capable of exact estimation, and the revenue of the same period can be only approximately calculated, but it wili be safe to assume that the debt will not exceed the sum named, The annual interest upon three thonsand milhons, iffanded at 5 per cent. per annun ‘would be one hundred and sixty-five million but if funded at five per cent. it would be one hundred and fifty millions. Now, if two hundred millions per annum should be applied, in half-yeariy installments of ope hundred millions each, in payment of the sccruing interestand in reduction of the principal funded at the higher rate of 5% per cent. the debt uid be entirely paid in thirty- two and one-eighth years. At 5 per cent. per annum, it would be distinguished by the like application of one hundred millions every six months, in a little over twenty-eight years. It is urged that taxes should be imposed jndi- ciously, £0 as to obtain revenne-without re- pressing indastry and endangering a spirit of opposition and discontent which may endanger the national credit. Kecommendations are made in regard to legalizing sales, &c., in Sonthern States where stamps could not be used during the war. The reciprocity treaty with Great Britain will expire on the 17th of March next, and due notice of this fact has been given, by circulars, to the officers of customs on the northern frontier. There are graye donbts whether treaties of this character do noi interfere with the legis- lative power of Congress, and especially with the constitutional power of the House of Re- presentatives to originate revenue bills; and whether such treaties. if they yield anything not granted by our general revenue laws, are not im conflict with the spirit of the usual clause contained in most of our commercial treaties, to treat each nation on the same foot- ing as the most fayored nation, and notto grant, without an eqnivalent, any particular favor to one nation not conceded to another in respect to commerce and navigation. soce. “XXXIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
