US Presidency
1820

The receipts into the Treasury from every source to the 30th of September last have amounted to $ 16,794,107.66, whilst the public expenditures to the same period amounted to $ 16,871,534.72, leaving in the Treasury on that day a sum estimated at $ 100,000,000 In for the probable receipts of the following year I refer you to the statement which will be transmitted from the Treasury. The sum of $ 3 M authorized to be raised by loan by an act of the last session of Congress has been obtained upon terms advantageous to the Government, indicating not only an increased confidence in the faith of the nation, but the existence of a large amount of capital seeking that mode of investment at a rate of interest not exceeding 5 % per annum. It is proper to add that there is now due to the Treasury for the sale of public lands $ 22,996,545.
