Nary DEPARTMENT,
SIR,
in answer to your letter of the Cd in
stamt in which you ask for such informati- !
or as may be in possession Of the navy de- |
partment, and which may be deemed ma
ter;al by me, "relatively to the estimate OF |
the expenses incurred by the navy depart
mciit, since the 221 June, 1907 :" ] have
the honor to state, that under the existing
c circumstances, it was deemed sound policy
and good economy TO procure in season a
supply oF those articles which, in the event
of war, could not be procured without
dificulty, and then at very advanced pr-
ces. Of the article sait-pesre, IL was ear
y determined TO lay iu large supply, as
we had none on hand, and but a scanty
supply cf powder. We have consequently
purchased all that has been offered for sac
at reasonable price. For that stated in
in the estimate, we have given different
prices, the lowest Of which has been 16,
the highest 10 cents per u. For powder,
cannon, cannon ball, copper, canvass and
| cordage, we have contracted at the ordi-
larry marset prices.
| The President further determined to pre-
pare all our gun-boats for actual service,
and TO increase the marine corps from 500
lncn-commissioBcd officers, musicians and
Iprivates, (the number estimated for, for
tie service OF the year 1907 80 1O44, the

REVENUE AND RECEIPTS.


The nett revenue arising from
duties on merchandise and tom
mage which accrued during the
year 1905, amounted to : Ia, l35J l3S
And that which accrued du-
ring the year 1906, amounted,
as will appear in the statement
(A,) to 1e,s76, asa
The same revenue, after de-
Quoting that portion which a.
rose from the duty on salt, and
from the additional duties con-
stituting the Mediterranean fund,
amounted during the year 1905,
to 12,5eo,532
And during the year 1906, TO 1&,s0s,75S
Ii is ascertained shat the nett revenue
which has accrued during the three first
quarters of the year 1907, exceeds that
Of the corresponding quarters of the year
1906 and that branch of the revenue may,
exclusively of the duty on salt, and of the
Mediterranean fund, both Of which expire
on the first day OF JaurAry next, be safely
estimated for the present, and if no change
takes place in the relations Of the United
States with foreign nations, at fourteen
millions of dollars.
The statement (H.) exhibits in detail,
the several species OF merchandise aud o.
ther sources, from which the revenue was
collected during the year 1906
II appears by the statement (C.) that
The sales Of the public lands have, during
thu year ending on the 30th September,
1907, exceeded 2s4, 600 acres. some re.
turG. are not yet received: and the pro-
cceds Of sales in the Mississippi Territory
being, after deducting the Surveying and
tother ipcideataf expenses, appropriated
in INC frst place to the payment of a sum
Of $50 U3O dollars to- the state of SergiA,
have not been included, but are distinc .ly
tAted. The actual payments by purchasers
have, during TIE same period, exceeded
6So.O0C doi.ars; and the receipts into the
treasury from that source may, after de-
Quoting charges and the five per cent. re-
| served for roads, be estimated for the en-
suing year, at 100000 dollars.
The recsipts arising from the perma-
net revenue of the u. S may, therefore,
without including the duties on postage and
other incidental branches, be computed
| for the year 1903, at s 14,500,00O
And the payments into the
treasury during the same year,
on account of the salt and Me-
d.terranean duties previously
laccrucd, are estimated at one
