Ic the Congress of the United States:
Resrcttins the necessity which has re-
quired me- to call you together, I feel tha
your assembling in extraordinary session is
indlspens2 bic because of the condition in
which we find the revenues of the govern
meht 1t is conceded that its current exnen-
ditures are greater than its receipts. and
that such condition has existed for now
more than three years
with unlimited means at our command
we are presenting the remarkable snecracIa
OF increasing our public debts by bcrrowip,,
money to meet the ordinary outlaws in.
cident upon even an economical and nru
dent administration OF the government An
examination of the subject discloses this
fact in every detail, and leads inevitably IN
the conclusion that the condition of tho
revenue which allows it is unjustifiable ana
should be corrected.
