public debt The receipts from customs
during the same period were about $50 ,OOO,-

paid on demand notes, which have now.
however, almost entirely disappeared-the
amount outstanding being lees than s.
OOO 900. The custom duties, therefore, arc
now paid altogether in coin, and the receipts
from that source largely exceed the wants Of
