Darby Fishing Company, praying remis-
sion OF certain forfetures and penalties in
Cured tor an unintentionaI violation of the

ed with produce of the British West Indies.
The Petition having been read, Mr.. z.
moved to refer it to the committee of WAYS

Some objection was made by Mr.. Wright
to the reference of this petition, because il
was not proper to legislate on particular
cases, and because he looked upon this as
one OF questionable character but the
opposition was withdrawn on the represen-
tation of Mr.. Pitkn Of the circumstances of
the case, and Mr.. Wright contented himself
with expressing his hope that ii any provi-
sion resulted from the consideration of that
petition, it would he of general and not a
particular character.
The petition was referred.
Several petitions in the nature of claims,
aud others of private nature we're present

Although the taxes, if early laid, NAV be
brought into operation in the commencement
of the ear 1914, yet, as hey cannot be expect
ed to have their ful effect during that year,
some auxiliary resource will be required This
may be found in the sum of 1 ,5OO,00 dollars.
which is the excess of the Sinking Fund for
the present year, over the demands on that
fund according to the existing engagements OF
the United States. This sum of SOC, 900 dol
lars may be carried to the Sinking Fund for the
year 1914. and will be wanted in addition 10
the annual appropriation of8 100000 OF dolls.
to meet the engagements on account of the
public debt, which must be fulfilled during
that year.
As reliance must be had upon loan for the
war-expences Of the year 1914, the laying
Of the internal taxes may be consid. red, with
a view 10 that object, as essentially neces.
ssry; in the LIST place, to facilitate the obtain
ing ofthe loan, and 2dly, for procuring it on
favorable terms. 1t is ascertained that the
terms ofthe loan for the present year would
have been more favorable it the taxes had been
previously laid and it is obvious enough, that
by aiiording a security for the regular payment
OF the interest and the eventual reimbursement
of the principal, more stable, and less liable TO
be weakened or cut off by the natural effects
OF war upon external commerce, than re
venue depending as that Of the u s. now does
almost WhOhy upon suCh external commerce,
capitalists will advance with the greater readi-
ness and at lower rate of interest the funds
necessary for the prosecution of the war.
Public confidence will be ensured, and the
means afforded OF preserving the public credit
unimpaired; measure of the utmost impo =
lance in a country, like ours, where, from ia,
lightness of the demands made upon the peo-
pie during the continuance o. peace, the extra
ordinary expenses of state OF war can be sun
piled only by a resort to that credit.
The resources of the country are ample, and
il the means now proposed, and those hereto
fore recommended from this Department, are
| adopted, it is believed they may be fairly and
! fully brought in action.

| OF the sum OF s l,e55,734 SIS, remaining in
tie Treasury ON The first of April last, small
par, NAV be considered as applicable To such
| extraordinary expences already authorised, as
| may arise during the remainder OF the year &
for the same obi CT, the sum of one million Of
dollars authorised by an act OF the state OF
Pennsylvania to be loaned TO the United States,
but which was not offered in time TO be accept
ed as part of the loan OF sixteen millions, may
be considered as resource.
In this estimate the whole sum Of Ave MILL.
ons of dollars authorised to be issued IN Frea-
sury Notes, is taken part OF the resources
OF the present yesr. But as it is not deemed
eligible to increase the amount OF Treasury
Notes in circulation, and "a three millions on
ly OF those authorized by the act of 1912 were
issued in that year and are reimb ursable IN the
Course OF the present year, II IS respectfully
suggested that in lieu OF ISSUING two millions
authorised by the act uf February, 1913, Con
gress should authorise AN additional loan tor
the same amount, it beng made condition OF
such loan that it's terms should not be higher
than those OF the loan of sixteen millions airea~
dy effected
This view of the subject is sufficient to G.
vince the necessity OLA speedy and eHectual
provision for the service of that and the ensuing
years. The mode and the ex ent 10 which this
provision should be carried, have been hereto
fore suggested from this department to- Con
gress, and have received the cons liberation OF
that body. The expences of the peace esta"
blishment of the United States, and the inter-
est on the public debt, including that on the
loans made for the prosecution of the war, are
believed to be the Least sum That ought, unGer |
any circumstances, TO be raised within each |
year, These, if the expences Of the peace CO.
Enlistment are taken at the sum necessary for |
the ordinary expenditure OF the United States |
previously TO the additional ornaments made |
IN the year 1872 with a view to An approach I!
ing state of war, and Including the interest on |
the loans of the Years 1912 and 1918, and also
OF that which will probably be necessary in the
year 1914, will amount, during that year, to G.
lcven millions iour hundred thousand dollars, !
viz.
