prornlnen. points.
The state OF the Treasury is Of course
the same as il was represented 10 be 10 the
Presidents Message TO Congress that is

which Il had 10 run. Mr.. Secretary Ew-
ing. the rcador NAV recollcci, when he
asked Tor tbs loan 20 relieve tins Treasury
from membranes left By the late Admin.
isirauan, recommended that 1t should be
authorized Tor a term Of cighl years; bat,
10 passing the Loan bill, Congress limited
the loan to three years, too short term to
invite Investment OF funds in il BY capital

CONNIE ads shall be provided for BY immc.

Treasury Notes TO the required amount.
For the next year (le42) the Receipts

THIS is the outline Of the Budget, as It is
very plainly and clearly stated in the Sc
crotury's Report, The Report then goes
into an argument upon the principles
which ought to govern the adjustment Of
the Tariff TO the wants Of the Government;
of which, as our readers viii soon have Il
before them entire, we shall not attempt an
Authorization. Nat. Intel.
