II will be perceived that if the war is continued until the
st of July next and additional provided by Con-
gress any received from military contributions
Mexico there would be deficit in the Treasury that day
of ia 81 For the hereafter stated under
the operations Of the Constitutional Treasury, it will not
be necessary hereafter TO retain in the Treasury, TO
wants of the Government and afford constant supply for all
their enlarged operations TO the mint and branch MINIS
exceeding S3UO0000 Adding this TO the deficit in the
Treasury the lst Of July next, it makes the sum Of
IA 27 to be supplied during that period meet
which, the expenditures authorized and estimated should
take place prior to that date, loan for that would be
required II additional derived from
whatever II is believed however, that if Congress would
adopt the following measures which recommended their
favorable considerations additional the amount Of
S45OO,OOO per annum might be realized First from aduty
and coffee OF 20 per cent ad vaoem, S 000 600 per
annum from the reduction and graduation in the price the
public lands 81, ,000 600 per- annum and from the
of the preempuon privilege to every bona de settler on
unsuryeyed lands wherever the Indian title may be exn-
guished, s5000e0 per Should these be
adopted by Congress- the loan might be reduced TO not
exceeding, at the most S7 200, 900. In estimating the
loan ct S7 900, allowance is made for the fact hahese
for additional could not al 20 into effect
so TO produce the full amount during the time intervening
between the present period and the s July next after
that date, doubted that they would produce the full
amount of S4, 500 600 per annum The President of the
United has however directed contributions be eyed in
Mexico in every form that may be sanctioned by the law Of
nations. These contributions consist, FIRST in diminishing
the estimated expenditures by obtaining far Practicable
supplies for the army in Mexico second by duties upon i'm
ports, military contribution third, by enforcing the
Mexican duty upon exports fourth by directing the seizure
and appropriation to the support Of the the army of
all the internal Of Mexico, except transit duties
whether assessed by the General Government of Nexeo or
by any department, city, town thereof BY the acts of
September 2, 1882 and the 10th Of May, 1900 tits The duty

in order that larger loan may be asked or effected thar

The TO be realized from these military contributions will
depend upon future contingencies If armies oe With
