ted States for the cities of the District Of Columbia in
Guided in the above sum.
This excess is based The assumption that the whole
amount Of five millions is outstanding of treasury notes
authorized by the act of 22d july 1885, under renewed
authority requested to be conferred by Congress
issue the but the whole amount cannot be out
standing at the same time, account of the number OF
notes cancelled before note issued the excess OF
expenditures means the ls OF July, 1913, should
be estimated at nineteen millions OF dollars which will
cover all expenditures including that of the war, if
inued up to that date.
II is important al all times, shown by uniform expe-
renee but especially in period of war, to keep bal
ance OF at least four millions Of dollars in the treasury
order to supply the mint and branch minis with bullion
for coinage and foreign coin for recoinage also TO be
enabled at all times pay the public creditors at every
point both IN and out OF the country with puncuaty and
despatch Although then, the actual deficit the 3Oh OF
June, lsiS, might not exceed nineteen millions of dollars
the necessity OF having surplus of four millions in the
treasury at all times requires that loan of twenty
millions should be authorized, unless additional revenue
is raised by some provision of law As one of the
means of augmenng the revenue, it is proposed that
Congress shall authorize duty of twenty-five per cent
tea and coffee, which il is estimated would reduce the
loan required to nineteen millions of dollars
Annexed (marked O. table of the imports OF ea and
also Of coffee, from 1871 to s46 1t will be perceived
that the imports OF tea being 10 s91 900 pounds con-
sumed in the United States for the last fiscal year
amounted to the value of SO 337 and of coffee being
lA,33605i pounds of the value of Sso2 ,s9i, making
an aggregate of S1l !s6,23la duty Of twenty-five pei
cent. on which would yield an annual revenue oil
$2,9d6 557 u.s. After making full allowance for de-
creased consumption account of the duties the add
honal annual revenue from this source might be safely
estimated at az 100000.
