IterogRorg /. Do you know of any instance
in! which the Editors of the Globe have been allow
cd for printing for your Department compenRa-
ton greater than that usually paid to other printers
for printing, similar 10 that required TO hc done by
those editors
.4astrer do not. The printing done for my
own Office is all which comc3 under my immediate
direction and supervision. This principally CON
ssts OF forms Of circulars, BANKS and statements,
which are printed for the purpose Of economisine
and facilitating the clerical duties of the office. SO
far as my information on the subject has enabled
me TO express an opinion, entertain no doubt but
the rates Of compensation paid for such printing are
quite as low as those paid to others for similar ser
vices for years past.
Iate,rogatory ,. Do you know of an instance,
since vou have been at the head Of your Department
in which printing, not properly chargcabe to the
United States according to law, or the usages Of
your predecessors, has been ordered and paid for
out of the public funds, either 10 the editors Of the
Globe or any other printers
.1ns,cer | know Of no such instance. The pro-
ceedinrs of Congress- and the state OF the finances
have from time to time required forms, Sc, not
dcred by my predecessors, but none have been
procured, to the best of my knowledge and belief
for the use of my office, excepting such as were de-
srable for the prompt efficient and satisfactory dis
charge of its public duties.
| Inteyrogdtory 3. Have any Of the officers Of
your Department been fairfield, or required to raise
funds to pay for public documents or speeches, to
| be published at the Office Of the Globe, or else
where
| .4nsuer Nothing Of the kind referred to in this
interroeatory has ever come to my knowledge; nor
have | the slightest reason for believing that
any thing of the kind has ever been done, either
directly or indretE, since have been connected
with the acknowledgements; all the officers at
the head of the bureaus connected with tins Depart
ment, have been called on TO furnish information
| to me on this point, and, as prepared, | vii en-
close it TO the committee.
| Interrogatory 4. State generally whether any
change as to the mode or prices in the execution OF
the printing done for your Department, has been IN
troduced since you have been at its head differing
from that customary under your predecessors!
| .4nslcer. am not aware that any change as to
the mode or prices has been introduced with re-
gard TO printing, since have been at the head Of
