NATIONAL FINANCES. A Review of Treasury Department Work During the Year. THE SECRETARY’S REPORT. ‘The Bond Transactions Reviewed—The Im- migration Question Treated at Considerable Length—Necessity for Further Eestrictive Legislation Shown. ‘The annual report of the Secretary of the upon the state of the finences was eo today. The revenues of the last fiscal year from all sources were $458,544,- 233.03, of which #219,522,205.23 came from cus- tomsand $145,686,249.44 from internal revenue. ‘The expenditures for that period amounted to $421,304,470.46, leaving a surplus of $37,239,- 762.57. A total of #134,947,639.48 was applied to the payment of the public debt. ‘As compared with the fiseal year 1890 the re- ceipts for 1891 have fallen off $5,418,897.52. ‘The gross increase was $10,209,103.98, of which nearly half came from the postal service and €3,079,543.63 from internal revenue. The gross decrease was $15,627,951.50, of which $10,146,- 379.34 was in the customs. : ‘There was an increase of $57,636,198.14 in the ordinary expenditures, the largest items being 11,521,497 for the refund of direct tax, $4,993,333 tor the expenses of the eleventh cen- sus and £3,777,3% for the increase of the navy. For the nt fiscal year the revenues are estimated at £433,000,000. The expenditures for the same period are estimated at $409,000,000, leaving an estimated surplus for the year of ‘$24,000,000. ESTIMATED REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1393. It isestimated that the revenues of the gov- ernment for the fiscal year 1893 will be: From customs. 195,000,000 00 ‘From internal revenue - 158,000,000 00 From miscellaneous sources. 22,000,000 00 From postal service 80,336,350 44 Total estimated revenues.. 455,336,350 44 The estimates of appropriations required for the same period, as submitted by the several Guecutive departments and offices, are as fol- ws: Legislative establishment..... $3,492,089 95 Executive establishment— Executive proper. $143,850 00 State Department. 166,510 00 ‘Treasury Dept. 9,108,386 10 War Dept.. 2,247,178 00 javy Dept. ‘416,920 00 Dept..-. 5,202,924 00 Post Ottice Dept... “923,360 00 Dept.

From these statistics the report passes on to discussion of the financial problems. of the day. It is stated that the requirements of the sinking fund for the current fiscal year are es- timated at €48,919,025. ‘The applications to the fundto November 1, 1891, consisted of bonds, interest notes and’ fractional currency amounting to $20,911,163. The additional ap- Blication of similar items bf Indebtedness luring Yemainder of year and of national bank notes redeemed under the provisions of the act of July 14, 1390, in excess of deposits received during the year for the redemption of such notes, es- timated at $4,254,500 and $13,000,000 respect- ively, will bring the total amount to be applied to the fund to within $10,747,362 of the esti- mated requirement. TRANSACTIONS IN FOUR AND A HALF PER CENT BONDS. The history of the transactions in the 43¢ bonds, whereby that loan was extended at 2 per cent is given, with the following summary: Under this there were presented prior to = for continuance $23,414,000, of which $20,007,100 were deposited with the treasurer of the United States as security for circulation and 2,155,000 for deposits. But it was found that some owners of 43; per cent bonds who ‘desired their continuance were unable to take the necessary steps to that end within the prescribed time, and an extension of the time to September 30 was therefore i _Ou that day the total amount of mds which had been presented for continu- ‘ance was $25,412,200, leaving for redemption €25.457,000, of ‘which £17,940,100 were pre- sented and paid during the month of Septem- ber. There were also redeemed in that month, to correct an error made by the owner, 47,7 continued bonds, and the amount now out- sianding on interest at 2 per cent is $25,364,- ‘MONEY IN CIRCULATION. ‘The financial stringency of a year ago is al- Tuded to under the topic of “circulation,” and the Secretary takes occasion to assert that ‘ite existence, and the widespread apprehension which it caused, induced a revival of the erro- neous idea that the volume of money in circu- lation was not only inadequate to the needs of the country, but was much less per capita han during the so-called Suh tines which followed the civil war. ‘The amount of money in cirenlation hasbeen very largely increased since the close of the fiscal year. The amount July 1, 1591, was $1,497,440,707, and the amount per capita was $23.41 The return of gold to the United ‘States, the operation of the silver act of July 14, 1890, and disbursements by the treasury on account of the 4%¢ per cent loan, pensions, &c., have enlarged the volume to $1.577,262,070, and the per capita amount to 24.33. A table appended shows that on the Ist in- stant there was in the United States $1,577,- 262,070 im circulation. This figure is obtained by deducting from the general stock coined or issued $2,305,111,909, the amount in the treas- ‘Bry, $727,549,839. Of the amount in circula- tion $406,931,402 was in gold, £62,697,204 in standard silver dollars. 262,545,437 in subsid- silver, $142,649,969 in gold certificates, Sedoers cis in silver certificates, €70,983,286 in treasury notes (act of July 14, 1590), #333, 364,. ‘809 in United States notes, £9,765,000 in eur. reney certificates and $168,151.863 in national bank notes. ‘The coinage of the mints during the last fis- cal year was the largest in the history of the miut in this country, aggregating 119,547,877 pieces, valued at $63,611.159.35. NATIONAL BANK FAILURES. After alluding to the figures used by the con- troller of the currency in his anaual report the Becretary says: ‘The present has been more disastrous than ‘any former year as to the number of failures, but not as to the amount of capital and liabili- ties involved. More than one-half in number of the banks that became insolvent during the Period covered by the report of the controller Were located in two western states, and their successive crop failures, whi severe Pression of business which followed the strin- | wy Fra in a great degree failures that occurred in other parts of the country. It is shown that of oie anen ooek of national banks organized only 334 per cent have become insolvent during a period of twenty-nive years, and that the annual average Joss to creditors tbat time has been only one-twenticth of } per cent of their av liability. The affairs of 102 insolvent have been THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON D.C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1891—TEN PAGES creditors of 74.17 per cent. Those closed dur- ing the last avs penne have divided among creditors 90.65 per cent, at an average cost for expenses of 4.08 percent. It is believed that no other system can show equally favorable re- sults, ‘TARIFY MATTERS. ‘The Secretary devotes considerable space to tariff matters. After giving some statistics as to commerce, he says: The articles now ad- mitted free of duty are chiefly necessnries of life, such as sugar, tea, coffee and other articles which are not largely produced in this country, and do not successfully compete with our do- mestic productions. The removal of the duty on sugar has re- duced its price to the consumer, and this result is not in conflict with the doctrine of protec- tion to home industries, because the limited domestic production of sugar under the most favorable protective rates was not sufiicient to influence the price in the home market. ‘The report of the chief of the bureau of sta- tistics is accompanied by tables showing that prices te the consumer of manufactured arti- cles, a8 a rule, have not been increased, bat havo been reduced. Under the operations of the new tariff the customs revenue has been decreased as far as is consistent with the current needs of the gov- ernment. By the readjustment of duties in the line of protection to American labor and Amer- ican industries the free list has been enlarged by the addition of articles which from climatic or other conditions are not produced profitably nor extensively in this country; adequate pro- tective duties have been imposed upon articles that come into competition with our own pro- ductions; new industries have been estab! and others stimulated, thereby giving increased employment to American labor and better con- trol of our home market to our own people, and the price of nearly every article of com- mon consumption has been reduced to the con- sumer. Inasmuch as s considerable portion of our revenues must be derived from duties on im- ports, it is the part of wisdom and patriotism to so udjust the rates as to have regard first to the interests of our own people and the right- ful demands of American iabor for remunera- tive wages. 1 do not believe that any conmderable num- ber of the people desire to sce our manufnc- turing industries destroyed or wages reduced to the European basis, which would be the inevitable result of u reduction of duties with a view to revenue only. Acomparison of the prices of goods im- ported respectively under the old and new tariffs where rates have been increased will demonstrate that the tariff is a tax upon the foreign competitor in our markets in the sale of such articles as are extensively produced here, and that the duties are in fnet thus de- ducted from the foreign market value, and are paid by the foreigner as a tax for the privilege of selling his goods here at prices fixed by cur own people competing among themselves in their own market. THE CUSTOMS SERVICE. ‘The Secretary renews the recommendations made by his predecessor concerning amend- ments to the laws relating to the administra- tion of the customs service. He quotes them at length and says: i itis certainly unwise to neglect to furnish adequate means for the efficient collection and protection of the customs revenue, which is required to defray a considerable part of the expenses of the government. ‘The changes of twenty years, since the present provision for defraying the expenses of coliecting the revenue from customs was made, necessitate new legis- lation on the subject. ‘The care of foreign merchandise at the world’s Columbian exposition will require a large temporary customs force, which cannot be provided without an additional appropri- tion for that purpose. It is estimated that not Jess than $200,000 will be required to enable the department to employ the officers neces sary to maintain the custody of dutiable ex- hibits and examine and appraise and collect duties upou such articles as may be withdrawn for consumption. ihere wil be undoubtedly a demand for the privilege of selling articles for delivery during the exposition. ‘This will require legislative an- thority, and I therefore suggest the enactment of a law to authorize such sales under regala- tious to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, as was done during the centennial exposition at Vhiladelphia im accordance with the provisions of the act of July 20, 1876. The internal revenue receipts for the past year show un increase of 33,440,719.40, mainly from fermented liquors. ‘ike receipts from manufactured tobucco decreased $1,102,720.09. ‘here wasan increase of #1,643,288.59 from dis- tilled spirits. The cost of coilection for the past year was $110,544.69 greater than the fear before. It is estimated that the receipts from al! sources of internal revenue for the current fiscal year wilt aggregate $150,000,000. AMERICAN SHIPPING. ‘The deplorable state of the American ship- ping is touched upon and a tabie is given show- ing the gradual loss of trade to this country since 1857, in which year 70.5 per cent of the imports and exports passing American ports was carried im American vessels. ‘Ihe next year there was a slight increase, to 73.7, but since then there has been a steady fall until in 1891 but 12,£6 per cent is now carried in Amer- ican ships.” The Secretary says: The demand for sbips of war will give us ship vards competent for buiiding commercial vessels to any extent, and there is no good reason Why slips should uot be built here and transport under American ownership a fair share of our exports and imports. Great in- dustries like slip building aud the navigation of ships should not be surrendered by us to other nations without a determined struggle to retain them. No backward step sivuld be taken in the efforts now being made to restore the American flag to the high seas. 48 TO IMMIGRATION. As to immigration the Secretary says: Pur- suant to the evident intent of Congress as ex- pressed in the immigration act of March 3, 1891, all contracts with state boards have been abrogated, and the immigration business at ali ports of the United Statesis now controlled and managed directly by the Treasury Department through a commissioner of immigration sta- tioned at each principal port of entry, assisted bya suitable number of inspection officers. The change proves to be a beneficial one, giv- ing to the service uniformity. method and greater efficiency. Along the internati boundaries the enforcement of the immig: laws ig intrusted to immigration inspectors, who are under the generai direction of the col lectors of customs in the several districts where they are stationed. In the interest both of economy and efficiency, these immigrant in- spectors also perform duty, when necessary, 11 e enforcement of the customs laws and the Chinese exclusion act. ‘The total arrival of immigrantein the United States from foreign countries, other than Brit- ish North America and Mexico, during the year ending June 30, 1891, amounted to 560,819, ‘against 455,302 daring the preceding fiscal year, an increase of 105,017 ‘The main increase wi Poland, amounting to28,2 Ktaly, 24,052. ‘The main decrease was from England, 3,420. ‘The immigrants came from the following from Russia and and the next from places: Engiand, 53,600; Ireland, 55,706; Scot: jand, 1; Great Britain (other), 448, Ger- many, 113, , 76,055; Russia and Poland, ingary, 71,042; Sweden and ; other Europe, 36,652; il other countries, 13.493; total, 560,313 RESTRICTIVE LAWS NECESSARY. ‘The Secretary says: This extraordinary and progressive increase in the tide of aleu immi- gration to the United States, which does not melude the increased arrivals via Canada, has not failed to attract the attention of the whole country and it will doubtless command the early consideration of Congress. If ever there was a question which ought to be treated inde- pendently of partisan politics this would seem to be such a question, and the practical unan- imity in this matter of our citizens of ail par- ties and of whatever nationality rurnishes the opportumity for the adoption of measures dic- tated solely by —— considerations. An analysis of the statement of arrivals dur- ang the last fineal year shows that ‘an increas- ing proportion of immigrants is coming to us Sak those classes and those countries of Eu- rope whose people are least adapted to, and least pre for, citizenship in « free repub- he and are least inclined to assimilate with the general Lody of American citizens. With the approaching exhavstion of the ply of free arable land in the United States: a trifling percentage of immigrants now en- gage in farming om their arrivalin this country, whatever may have been their former occapa- tion. The vast majority of them crowd into our cities and large towns, with the inevitable Tesult of overstocking the labor market and de- pressing wages, while the least efficient and more vicious among them soon drift iuto our x houses and to be a, continuing arden upon our people we already enacted by Congress for the of check- ing this tendency and preventing the mischief wh:ch would result from unrestricted immigra- tion have accom something.

As to the entrance of alien immigrants into the United States by rail across the Canadian border the remedy would suggest itself of either securing an international arrangement for a uniform system of foreign or seaport inspec- tion, or, failing that,of making our own inspec- tion at the border as effective as possible, as & part of our own general system, HOW TO KEEP OUT THE CHINESE. The dilemma of how to keep out the Chi- nese while Canada maintains her present atti- tude is faced by the Secretary, who says: It is undoubtedly true that the Chinese popula- tion of the United States hes been consider- ably increased within the past year by the ad- dition of Chinese laborers who have entered by way of Canada. Syndicates have been formed and much capital has been invested to further this unlawful immigration, and if it is still the purpose of Congress to prohibit it, a thorough revision of the statutes relating’ to the subject is necessar. Any legislation, however, looking to exclu- sion will fail of its full purpose so ong as the Canadian government admits Chinese laborers to Canada, whence, armed with Canadian per- mits to leave and return to Canada at pleasure, ’ ' Vest, George G., Missouri, 1204 P st. n.w. ee, caliber to invade our ‘territory | vines William ¥., Wisconsin Wonsleye, ng icon Voorhees, D.

Many of the remaining veterans are only retained by the hope of better wages, which the repeated recommendations of the de- partment ard the justice of the case have ex- cited, ‘The hope is earnestly expressed that the relief, which simple justice to the men and the preservation of the high standard of efficiency which this service has hitherto maintained alike demand, may not be loag deferred. THE coast SURVEY. The work of the coast and geodetic survey during the year is given in brief, and the Secretary says: The building known a3 the Richards build- ing, 60 long occupied by the coast and geodetic survey, Was purchased for the use of that bu- reau by an appropriation in the sundry civil act of March 3, 1891. In the same act the pur- chase of the Butler building, adjoining, a part of which bad long been used by the same er- viee, was also provided for, my predecessor having recommended to Congress that it be Vought for the use of the eurvey, to afford a much needed increase in the facilities for print- ing and publishing charts. fore the close of the fiscal year, however, it became imperative to make new provision for the marine hospital service, and it was nec- eseary to utilize the greater part of the Butler building for this purpose. A new building, much more perfectly adapted to the needs of the coust and geodetic survey, can be erected at comparatively small cost on the ground belonging to the Richards building. and, knowing the need for increased room for the proper execution of this important branch of the public service, I respectfully recommend and urge Congress to provide at an early day Cutting, J...

At present the numerous individual acts providing for public buildings repeat these directions in sub- stantially the same language, thus encumbering the statutes unnecessarily.
