Emigration.-The great emigration to

Cornstak Sugar and Molasses.-Per-
haps il may be interesting for some per-
sons TO know that Sugar and Molasses
was make from Cprnstallis, as long since
as the time of the Revolutionary war, hut
owing TO the want of The requisite infor-
nation for clarifying it, The flavor was so
unpleasant, tina, il was not esteemed, and
the making oft was consequently aban-
doned- Sciepce now remedies this draw
back on its use, and may we not hope TO
see it, together with many other objects
-of domestic enterprise which have been
deemed pro6tess from ignorance and
therefore Abandoned; again resuscitated
aud brought into active production. No
one can say certainly what should be done
TO receive the tagging agricultural iule-
rests Of The Sou'h, but that something
must shortly be Gone, and that TOO aided
by Science and Agricultural information
is not to be doubted.-South Carolinian.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
SECRETARY THE TREAsUR'

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
We have before US the Annual Report of
Mr.. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury, but
from its great length we are unwilling to give
it entire. The following condensed view of
it; however, we feel confident, will be equally,
if not more, acceptable to our numerous rea-
ders.
The Receipts and Expenditures for the fs-
cal year ending the 30th OF June, lS45, were
as follows:
Fop customs S27. 52e, lIa 10
From sales Of public -ads 2,017,O22 80
From miscellaneous source l63 1893 Sc
Total receipts 29,769, 1888 ST

Total means 37,626,5i3 20
The Expenditures during the same fis-
cal ear amounted ts 1885,, 2O6 o.

iylst, 1916, of 1858, 3O6 "a

American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1845-12-05

Which, deducted from the total of
means before stated, gives an estimat-
ed balance on lst July, lsi7 of 1852 ,44l o.
The sum of 81 ,54s, 1897 for supplying deficiency OF
revenue for POSTAGE and also SOV 900 for hostages OF
Congress and of executive Offices included in the
above sun of S29, ,05l 80.
The sum of Sl2l $50 for debt assumed for the
CITIES in the District of Columbia the sum of al 0OO
coo for suppIying deficiency in the revenue from post
uge, and $3.50 900 for hostages for Congress and
cutve departments, are included III the foregoing
sum Of S., 925, 2s9 62.
The receipts (says the report) for the first
quarter of this year are less, by S2,0l 1856 80,
than the receipts of the same quarter last year.
Among the causes of decrease is the progress
sive dminuton Of the importation of many
highly-protected articles, and the substitution
of rival domestic products. For the nine
months ending June 80, lS4S, since the pre-
sent tariff, the average of duties upon dutiable
imports was equal to 1884 lilo per cent; for
the year ending June 80, 1874, 1885 S-l0 per
cent; and for the year ending June 80, 1915,
$3.50 per cent.-showing great diminution
in the average per centage, owing in part TO
increased importation Of some articles bearing
the lighter duties, and decreased importation
of Others bearing the higher duty. The reve-
nue. from ad-valorem duties last year exceeded
that realized from specific duties, although the
average OF Tie hu-NdlOItu uuticS was ohiy
1851 per cent, and the average of the speci-
fc duties disappearing another strong
proof that lower duties increase the revenue
Among the causes tending to augment the re-
venue, are increased emigration, and the an
nexation of Texas. The estimates for the OK
penditures of SAG are based chiefly upon appro-
priations made by Congress. The estimated
expenditures of ls47 are founded upon data
furnished by the several departments, and are
less by "a, l0s,@SS IS than those of the prece-
ding year. These estimates are submitted in
the full conviction that, whenever Congress,
guided by an enlightened economy, can dimin-
ish the expenditures without injury to the pub
lie interest, such retrenchment will be made,
so as to tighten the burden of taxation, and
hasten the extinguishment of the public debt
reduced on the LIST Of October last to SIT ,075,-
445 SO.
In suggesting Improvements in the revenue
laws, the following principles have been adopt
