Deduct estimated receipts from ordipary sources, $396,000, there will remain to be provided for by loans $422,256.005. To thia should be added for , redemption of excess of Certificates of indebtedness $47,365,000, makiog the whole amount to be provided for by loans $46: 621,006, Assuming the correctness of these estimates, the whole debt on the first day of July, 1864, would be found by i the foregoing amount of $422.256,005 to the esti- mat t on July 1, 1865, $2,228,064,677, giving $2,045,320,652 asibe umount of the debtat the close the next fiscal yoar, ‘This calculation is made on the same basis of receipts as assumed for tha current year. It is quite probs , in. the judgment of the Commis- sioner of Internal Kevenue, tbat $300,000,000 may be received im evotber year from that source, without the additional legislation suggested by him. Should thie supposition be verified, and che new taxes proposed for this year be laid and continued, an #ddi- tional fifty milHons micht be expected from internal revenue, Ibe secretary bas, bowever, thought it wiser to aa $300,000,000 as all that would probably be reaiized. It will be observed that the actual receipts from ordl- ry sources for the last fiscal year varied materialiy from the estimates, particulerly irom customs and fn- ternal revenue, This variation is imputuble, Part, to the legislation of Congress at ite last session, fnoreasing largely the rates of duty on foreign and do- mestic articles. Jt is apprehended, however, that simi- lar results will not follow for the residue of tne present year in both these particulars. ‘Tbe increase of duties on imports under the act of June 20, 1864, has already bad the effect to decrease importa tions to a considerable extent, and the same effect will ve likely to contiaue.
