continued influence of tho war upon expenditure |
Notwithstanding which, the available means on hand
in October last amounting 10 over eleven millions,
have suficed to defray oil, and leave considerable
balance in the treasury the close o. the year. The
estimates for 1850 give an aggregate expenditure of
33, O00OO including some So, ,762, ,537 OF old ap-
poprlations that may not be called for. This aggre-
gate, however, will be fully within the revenue of the
year, if properly administered, and cause increase OF
balance hand at the cluse, permit of consdera
bic appropriation for the purchase of the debit for
which purpose it appears $6O443 have been expend
ed IN commissions and premiums in the last quarter.
The exports of the famine year doubtless
swelled the customs for the year 1S4S but there has
been such operating in the last year, and
the excess Of duties over those yielded by the tariff
of 1912. is soely.due to the beneficial operation Of
| liberal commercial policy. For the year 1850, the
duties may probably range as high as for lS4S.
