THE FUTURE FOR TAXPAYERS.

statement of Alexander Delmar, Di.
rector Of the Bureau of Statistics, Of
the Receipts and Expenditures Of
the Government During the Past
Three. Years Estimated Receipts
and Expenditures for the Current
Fiscal Year.

Hon. Alex. DeImar Director of the Bureau OF
Statistics, Treasury Department Washing
ton. ID. g.:
Sir: Your familiarity with the affairs
of the Treasury leads us to make the fol-
lowing inquiries, to which we shall feel
obliged for an early reply:
|. What have been the total receipts
and expenditures OF the Government
during the past three fiscal years?
2. What are the estimated expenditures
of the current fiscal year? What appro-
priations were demanded by the Treas
ury What appropriations were granted
by Congress, and when Congress ad-
journed what appropriations remained as
available sources of authority for the
expenditure of money from the Treasury T?
8. What are the estimated revenues Of
the current fiscal year, and in what con-
dition will the Treasury be on the lst of
January, 1869, and the 30th of June,
1869, respectively
We are, sir, yours respectfully,

OF which several millions will consist
of trust funds, which the Treasury can
not use.
Deduct from this amount the Postoffice
deficiencies for thehalf year, which will
probably amount to $4,000 900, and
$3.50, 500 81 of private appropriations,
most of which will be paid by that time,
and you have the condition of the Treas
ury of the lst of January, 1861
Against the course of legislation,
which is responsible for this state of af-
fairs, the President has never ceased to
protest, even to the degree of risking a
verdict that would have consigned his
name-that of one of the purest and
brsvest of men-to ignomiDy. The re-
construction measures and the tenure Of
office law are the main cause of all the
ext.avagsnt expenditures, which, under
economical management, think could
be diminished within year to $500, ,000,
00C per aunum, including gold interest
on the public debt. Without total
change of policy, however, such re-
trenchment is impossible. A continu-
ance Of present measures means a con-
tinued heavy expenditure, aud this can
only be met by increasing the public
debt am, gentlemen, yours, respect
fully, ALTx DELMAR, Director.

tain the total revenue and cost of the
government for any single year by itself,
it cannot be done from these figures
alone. For this reason they are not
aggregated in the Secretarys report
Recourse must be had to the Treasurer's
receipts and expenditures, which also
include all receipts from sales of cap

cation, prizes, sales of quartermaster' s

WASHINGTON, sept. 70, 1881
GENTLEMEN: 10 reply to yours of the
10Th instant, and to numerous other let
ters addressed to me on this subject, |
have the honor to furnish the following
account of the condition of the United
States Treasury, as set forth in the re
ports Of its various officers:
The receipts aud expenditures of the
Treasury may be divided into four
branches, classed as follows: First, the
Registers receipts and expenditures; {;
second the Treasurer's receipts and ex-
pendi,ures; third, the Postoffice receipts
and expenditures; fourth, the navy pen.
sion fund. The Registers receipts and
expenditures appear in the Register $
reports; the Treasurer's receipts and ex-
penditures appear in the Treasurer s
reports; the Postofiice receipts and ex-
psnditures in the reports Of the Postmas-
ter General, and the accounts Of the navy
pension fund in the report Of the Com
missioner Of Pensions.
The Registers receipts are gross re-
ceipts. The expenses of collection,
drawbacks, discounts, repsyments, etc.,
appear in the expenditures.
The following are the Registers re-
ceipts and expenditures for the past
three fiscal years:
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1868-10-08

Thus, if the Treasury endeavors to
meet its current expenditures this year
Ito say nothing of matured claims de-
ferred, or of the Rostoffice deficiency, !,
it will show deficit Of Sl54, ,339. 202 at
the end Of the year, TO be obtained from
increased taxes or loans.
This unfortunate condition Of affairs
was long foreseen by the present able and
patriotic Secretary of. the Treasury, and
this officer did ell tha, he was called upon
to do when, iu March last, he penned the
following warning letter to the Finance
Committee of the Senate:
"Should the bill referred to become q
law, think il may be fairly estimated
that the total revenues for the next fiscal
year will fall from $l00, ,000, 900 10 Sl20,-

Additional taxation is regarded as i'm
practicable, and there is, therefore, no
apparent way ont of the present difficulty
but to increase the public debt by the
issue of more bonds. This the Treasury
has power to do until the whole sum Of
the public debt amounts to 81, 1927 900, 900,
or its amount at the date of the passage
of the act of April IL, 1866.

The treasurer's receipts and expendi-

principally consist, on the one hand, of
receipts from sales of government prop
