US Presidency
1848

The receipts into the Treasury for the same period, exclusive of loans, amounted to $ 35,436,750.59, of which there was derived from customs $ 31,757,070.96, from sales of public lands $ 3,328,642.56, and from miscellaneous and incidental sources $ 351,037.07. It will be perceived that the revenue from customs for the last fiscal year exceeded by $ 757,070.96 the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury in his last annual report, and that the aggregate receipts during the same period from customs, lands, and miscellaneous sources also exceeded the estimate by the sum of $ 536,750.59, indicating, however, a very near approach in the estimate to the actual result. The expenditures during the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June last, including those for the war and exclusive of payments of principal and interest for the public debt, were $ 42,811,970.03.
