Tho population of the
United Slates in 17!)0 was nearly
four millions of poopio. Increasing
cncli decade about thirty three per
cent. it reached in 1800 thirty-one
millions an increase of seven bun-
dled per cent on the population' in
1700. In 18C9 it is estimated that
it wtll reach thirty-eight millions.
or an increase of eight hundred and
. in Bnvi.nl V n IIP
aixtr-eightpor ecu.. :P w.ujlj :nine
years. The am.ual exncnditgres ol
tho federal government . 111 1791
were four ' million' two' hundred
thousand dollas ; in 1820 oighteon
millions two hundred thousand dol-
lar"; in 1 850 -forty-one millions ; in
ISO) sixty-three.' millions; in 1805
nearly thirteen' hundred; millions;
and in 18U0 it is estimated by the
Secretary of tho Troasury in his
lastaiiiiiial report thatihere will be
three hundred and seventy-two mil-
lions. By comparing tho public
disbursements of 1800 as estimated
with those of 1791. it Will be seen
that the mcrc:.. 01 cxpemmurs
since the beginning of tho -govern-
nicnt has been eight thousand ix
hundred and eighteen per centum
whilo the increase of the population
for the same period was only eight
hundred and sixty-eight per centum.

inilliona annually are axpcnUcd lor
tho military force a largo portion
of which la employed in tho oxocu-
tion of laws both unnecessary and
unconstitutional. Ono hundred nnd
fifty million is required each year
to pay tho interest on public debt.
An army of tax gatherers impover-
ish the nation ; nnd public agents
placed by Congress beyond the con-
trol of the executive divert from
their' legitimate purposes largo
sums of money which thoy collect
from the people in the jjnmo of tho
Government. Judicious legislation
and prudent economy can alono
remedy defects and avert suits
which if suffered .to exist can't fail
to diminish confidence in people to-
wards their political institutions.
Without proper care the small bal-
ance which it is intimated will re-
mnin in the Troiisuryrnt the closo
of tiio present fiscal year will not
be realized and additional- millions
bo added to a debt which is now
enumerated by billions. ' It is shown
by tho able nnd comprehensive re-
port of tho Secretary of the Trensu-
rv. that tho rocciirts of'the fiscal
year ending Juno 30th 1808 were
$105iSohj anu uini nip expendi-
tures for the same period we're ?282-
077798; It is estimated that the.
roceipts during the present fiscal
year ending June 30 1809 will be
83-1-1392858 and the expendirurca
330152470 showing a small bal-
ance of 5240398' in favor of the
government. For .the. fiscal yepr
cndinS Jle 30 18J0 it is estimated
that tho receipts will amount lC
$327000000 and tho expenditure
8303000000 loaving' an - estimated
siiplns of 324000000 it becomes
proper in this connection to muko
a brief reference to' our public in-
debtedness which bus accumulated
with such alarm nnd rapipity and
asumod such colossal proportions.
In 1789.when tho Government com-
menced operations under the feder-
al constitution it was burdened
with an indebtedness of 875000000
created during the war of tho-Revolution.
This amount hnd been re-
ducod to 845000000 when In 1812
wur -was declared ;againstr Great
Britain. The three years' struggle
that followed largely increased tho
national obligations and 'in '1816"
thev i.ad attained tho sum of127;-1
000000 ' i -J; ' f
Wise' and. economical legislation
however enabled the Government
to puy the entire amount' within a
period of twonty years nndjtho ex-
tinguishment of the national debt
filled the land with rejoicing and
was one of the great events of Pres-
ident Jackson's administration.
After its redemption a large fund
remained in the Treasury which
was deposited for safe keeping wilh
the several states on condition tont
it should be returned when required
by the public wants. In 1849 the

Various plans have been propos-
ed for tho payment of tho public
debt however they may havo vari-
ed as to tho time and mode in which
it should bo redeemed it seems to
bo a general concurrence as to the
propriety and justness of a reduc-

commends fiVo percent; Congress

ment !on tho 27th of July last

sufficient return for the Investment.
The general impression as tho ex-
horbitancy of th existing rate of
of interest hns led to an inquiry by
tho public mind respecting tho con
sideration which tho Government.
has actually received for its bonds
and tho conclusion' is becoming pro-
ralcnt that tho amount which is
abtaincd was in real . money three
or four hundred per cent less than
tho obligations which it ksued in

The proportion which tliecnrren
cy ot any country snouui near 10
tho w hole valuo of tho annual pro-
dnco circulated by it? moans is a
question upon which political econo-
mists have not agreed nor can it be
controlled by legislation but must
bo left to the irrevocable laws which
cvery-whero reguhitceomrnereo and
trade the circulating rhodium will
ever irresistibly flow to thoso points
where it is in : greatest ''demand.
The' law of demand and supply is as
unerring as that which regulates
the tides of the -ocean- and indeed
currency lileo tides has its cblis nnd
flowers throughout Iho commercial
world. At the beginning ofthoro
hellion the bank note circulation of
the country amounted to not much
more thnn two hundred -millions- of
dollars;-now the circulation of na-
tional bunk' notes und those known
as legal tenders -.is nearly seven
hundred millions." Whilo it is ur-
ged by some that tliisumourit should
bo increased Gibers' contend that; n
decided reduction is 'absolutely es-
sential to the best ititercsts'lo the
country."' Iii view of tlieso dirvcrs'o
opinion it may. bo well to ascertain
the real valuo of out' paper' issues
when cotri pared wiCh a metalic 'oi'"
conversable currency.. For . this
purposo let us inqiliro bow much
gold and silver ;could bo'pnreluisscd
by' tho Wvou hundred' millions' of
paper currency now" iii circulation.
ProlHibly not iriorb' thh'n' half the
amount 'of the latler;' "showing that
when the 11mbu.it of our paper cui'-
rency is compared' with that of gold
and silver its commercial 'Valiio' is

which may if it hns not already
done so create a prejudico that mav
becoino lew. rooted and widespread
and imperil iho III In. mil credit.
The feasibility of making our cur.
reuiy correspond with the coiislilu-
lioiial standard may bo seen by re-
lereiice to a lew facts derived from
our commercial etatinlics. The ag-
gregate product of precious metals
it. iho I'uitcd States from 181!) lo
1S07 amounted lo f 117-1000000
whilo for the same period tl.o next
exports of specie Were 7 1000000.
This shows an excess of product
over next exports of ? 133.0tM)UU0.
There are in tho Treasury ?1034n7.-
I'H'.I in coin in circulation iu the
States on the Pacific coast about
t 10000000 and a few millions' in
tho National and other linuks' in
all less than $100000000. Taking
into consideration the specie in the
country prior to lfe-19 und thai pro-
duced since' 1807 and we have more
than 300000000 not accounted for
by exportation or by tho returns of
tho ' treasury "nnd therefore most
probably remaining in the country.
Theso are important facts and show
how complcteiy the inferior cur-
rency 'will aiipcrcrdo the ' belter
forcing it from circulation among
the masses and caiising it to bo ex-
ported 'us an article of trade to add
io' the money capital' of foreign-
lands." They show the necessity of
retiring our paper money that tho
return of gold nnd ' silver to the
.aveuncs ot trade may bo invited
und a demand created which will
cause tho retention homo of at least
so much of the productions of our
rich and inexhaustible gold bearing
fields as ma 11 y bo sullicient for pur-
poses of circulation. It is unreasona-
ble lo expect a return to a sound
currency sq long as tho Govern-
ment and bunks by. continuing to
i-Suo li-reduemiiblo holes fill the
channel of circulation with i depre-
ciated -papor. Notwithstanding a
coinage by our ..mints since 1849 of
S874.000.000 iho people are 'now
strangers to tlio currency which was
designed for their uso and benefit ;
und specimens of tho precious; mo-
tals bearing tho JS'ational device uro
seldom seen except when produce
to gratify .ithe "interest- excited by
tlicir; novelity. If depreciated pa-
per is to bo continued as the. .per.
man.ont currency of the .country
and all our (join. is to becomq a mere
