1T may be useful to state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the United State.
on which interest is payable in gu+d, on the Sc
day of March 1864, was $76s, 965, 900. The in

has been so far at the rate of over 500, 900, Coz
per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold rev

the wants of the treasurer for the payment o
gold interest, while the recent increase of thu
tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from
customs on the same amount of importations, Il
