1t may be useful state In ihls connection that the
total Funded Debt Of the United States which interest
payable in gold the I'd day Of March, 1864, was
$685. OOl The interest this debt for the coming
fiscal year will lie sl5 l2e, while the customs revenue
10 gold for the current fiscal year, ending June sOth
G4 has been so far at the rate Of over Per
Annum.
1t will be that the present gold revenues Of
the are largely in of the wants Of the
Treasurer for the payment of gold interest," while the
