Increase from Oct. 81, 1868,
to Feb. l, 1869, -. $21 ,56l $50 Is
During the period from October 81, 1865,
until October 81, 1867, the public debt de-
creased little over one hundred and eighty
four millions and half From October 81,
1867, to February 1st, ultmo, the public debt
increased $G0,92s,91l 50, and Of this sum
$l5,41S,457 SO accumulated during the month
of last January.
While the debt, under radical rule, is thus
rapidly on the increase, the revenues of the
government are as rapidly decreasing. On
that head we have the following figures:
The receipts from internal reve-
nae for 1855 were ....... 5000, 1885, l3 AZ
The receipts from internal reve-
nue. fer 1857 were ........ 266, 027, 637 43

The estimated receipts for 1869
are I4O,2Oy,O44 w
The receipts from customs for the last
three years have been as follows:
For the year 1866 49,. go. $40 ,651 So
For the year 1867 ............. 176417,810 SO
For the year 1861. ......... l64, 464, 800 90
This statement, which is taken from the re-
port Of the secretary of the treasury, points
rather to deficiency bills than to the payment
of the public debt But the most alarming
feature connected with our multiplied embar-
easements is that our precious metals and our
gold bearing bonds are leaving us and going
to Europe. California and the territories in
the last twenty years have produced in gold
and silver upward of ,300,0O0,O0O, and of
this amount Il 100000, 900 have departed from
our shores.
Nor is that ali; more than six hundred mil
lion dollars Of our gold-bearing bonds are now
IN the hands Of European capitalists, and be-
side this they hold in state stocks and other
securities more than two hundred million dol
lars; and the secretary says that We are even
now increasing the debt to Europe at the
rate of sixty or seventy million Of dollars
per aunum in the form of gold-bcaring bonds.

She tax-gatherer must hunt for currency where
it is scarce, and for gold swhere there is none,
to support the government and to pay the

Is the eontrivarce of a bankrupt, and the
adoption OF such measures or our part would
only develope the utter helplessness OF our
situation. In addition to the burdens already
enumerated our commercial marine has been
. sold to foreigners, snd the cost of our trans
pOrtation goes into their pockets.
