We should, then, if we adopt the indirect taxation system, adjust it so as to throw its burden on property. The tariff should discriminate with revenue for its object ; it should bear lightly on articles of neces sity—of general consumption—and heavily on luxuries and articles consumed by cap italists, or requiring capital for their pro duction: The revenue of tht „country, under any tariff,necessarily depends mainly upon the crops and productions generally, (I mean of course a safe, steady revenue,) and our capacity for exporting these sta . pies. Steady exportation will increase importation, and safely, too, in that ratio, and consequently enlarge the revenue by ' the receipt of imposts. Disaster, however, is sure to follow the loss of equilibrium, as better experience is now teaching us. Of late years our imports have vastly exceed ed the safe standard both in quantity and quality, and, thus engendering overtrading ' and a bloated credit system, have brought us to a dead halt. This apparent overflow of means has led the government into a scale of expenditures which never would have been brought about if it had not been for the groat apparent prosperity of the country. In this condition of things, the Secretary of the Treasury has been compelled to sub mit his estimates to Congress, based upon the condition of trade for the last twelve months—he must calculate for the future. Amid the existing fluctuations of trade, the derangement of the - currency, and a hundred other perplexities arising .out of the panic which we have just passed through, it was impossible for human fore sight to prepare for all contingencies. He asked at the opening of the session for $20,000,000. He asked for that amount in treasury notes, and not as a permanent loan, because he hoped that trade would revive and sufficient revenue flow into the treasury to supersede; the necessity of ,re lying upon anything but the current receipts to provide for the current expen ditures of the government—a temporary credit relieving a temporary revulsion. He hoped that, in anothefiquarter, trade would revive to such an extent as to enable him to say to the country )that he wanted no more money outside of the receipts. Money *as plenty in the country, and, being only panic-stricken, it wassupposed the paraly sis would be temporary. That hope has been disappointed, not in the abundance of money, the cropS, nor exports, but in the revival of trade. The statements I will lay before the House Will show that not only has trade not revived, but that it has fallen off.; and that, while the revenue has. been diminishing for the last three quar ters, the expenditures have been increased by the Utah war, and the demand for pay.. ment of debts incurred when the treasury was full. It has thus become the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to bring - these facts to our attention and to ask for this additional loan. In his estimates pre sented at the opening of the session he did not include or anticipate the appropriations of $10,000,000 of deficiencies, which be came necessary to be supplied to the Utah expedition. In submitting his letter asking for this loan, with the estimate, &a., all of which I will have read, you will perceive that he has called upon the several departments of the government to ascertain the probable expenditures for the portion of the next fiscal year commencing with July and end ing with December, and the result has been that the amouutArequired will be $37,000,- 000. This loan bill has been kept back by me El order to see what provision would be , ecessary in view of the appropriation bills, 'nd other bills requiring money which sight pass Congress. The Secretary of he Treasury estimates the receipts from ustoms and other services for the two , uarters of the next fiscal year at $25,000,- 000. This added to a loan of $15,000,000 would give $40,000,000 to meet $37,000,- 100 of expenditures ; but that $37,000,- 100 is based upon estimates of the depart ,'ent exclusive of any appropriation made •y Congress ifi the way of private bills, or creased appropriations beyond the esti ,,ates of-the department. It is for the iurpose of ascertaining what the difference 11 ay be that the loan bill has been held .aok by me; but as the House is zo far in advance of the Senate, I think it 'roper to submit the bill in the form which 't originated in the Committee of Ways nd Means. It authorizes $15,000,000 to ie borrowed on the credit of the govern ent for fifteen years. If it passes this : ouse it will then go to the Senate, and ietween this time and the action of the enge, the appropriation bills being pas ed, the accounting officers of the treasury, ill be enabled to aso@rtain •very nearly the amount whielf will spli,refinired:;•ivhati.. ever above $15,000,000 itivicOes - ,110443' ent to ris as an amendifiont r iaCiihim it omen here it will be nrideratocid; that -the ur i ase s demanded b meet, 0,4134010. -. u of our recent legielitiOi,•:.l.4bii* glifirk to be read th;':latWiittligi - .ls9u- : , lloary on the subject. ,a;-4315ik4414:41' , ~,.. , • .-:,' ' : : ::-., - --&,:!,,z , :.i-t .--...: TUI:SDAY MORNI -.'TazustraseDlros/tursar, May 19,1858.

The sum does not:include such amounts as may be appropriated by riTongress over and above the estimates submitted to themby the departments, and I have no data upon which to est,mate for such expenditures. Upon this point Congress is better able to form a correct opinion than I am. To meet these expenditures, it is not prudent to rely upon receipts into the treasury, estimated upon the too rapid revival of trade and business. .I. be lieve that we may safely calculate upon receipts, during that period, from all sources, of $25,000,000. Looking to this state of things, I recommend that autfibrity be given to this department to supply any deficiencies that may arise in meeting the demands upon the treasury by an additional loan not ex ceeding fifteen millions of dollars. In view of the amount of treasury notes already issued, 1 recommend a loan for that amount, to be negotiated for a period or not more than ten years, at a rate of interest not exceeding six per oentum. I have confined this inquiry to the two first quar ters of the next fiscal year, as Congress will re-as semble before the close of the second quarter, and it will be time enough then;-shoold it become neces sary, to provide for future contingencies that cannot now be foreseen. I do not recommend any measure for increased taxation. It would be unwise litchis time to attempt a modification of the tariff act of March 3, 1857, for the reasons given in my annual report to Congress. Sufficient time has not elapsed to test the effects of that act upon the revenue, considering the condition of the country during the period of its operation. In addition to this consideration,neither the receipts nor expenditures of the government should be estimated for in the future, upon the basis of its present re oe pts and expenditures. The former have been, and still are, too seriously affected by the late re vulsion, to justify a policy of legislation based upon a probable continuance of this state of things for any considerable period of time. The latter have been so greatly increased by onuses of a - like temporary character as to preclude, with equal propriety, thepolicy of considering them as a basis for estimating future expenditures. The most prominent of these temporary causes is the Utah expedition, which, it is hoped, will not reach beyond the end of the next fiscal year. Louring the period of an overflowing treasury, a system of ex penditure was inaugurated in the building of custom houses, post offices, court houses, and other public works, which, fortunately for the country, has been checked by the exhausted condition of the treasury. The time thus given for a more thorough and rigid inquiry into the necessity and propriety of these expenditures, it is tonfideutly believed will lead to wise and salutary reforms. Retrenchments in other branches of the public service can, and I have no doubt will, be effected. Attention should be directed more to the reduction'of expenditures than to an in °refuse of taxation, to remedy the evils of an excess of expenditures over the means of the government. A full treasury is an unpropitious element in the work of retrenchment and reform. If measures should be now adopted to provide the treasury per manently with a sum equal to the present demands upon it, it might relieve the govern ment from some of its embarrassments, but would greatly weaken the effort to restrain the government to an economical expenditure of the public money. The revival of business, which cannot be much longer delayed, will, I am confident, insure from the present tariff a sufficient revenue for the support of the government in ordinary times. Extraordinary expenses rendered necessary, by causes equally extraordinary, , always being of a temporary character, should be provided for in a like temporary manner. This principle is too plain to. require argument or illustration; rt is only necessary to call attention to it to command the approval of every ittelligent mind.

It is understood that loan asked for now, together with the estimated receipts, is to cover the ex penses of the first two quarters of the next fiscal year commencing July Ist. In con sequence of the unsettled state of trade we have no reliable basis upon which to make the estimate, but we can approximate to the sum. By the first of January next we will have light enough to kuow just how we stand, and then will be the time to raise our tariff and everything connected with it, according to the exigencies of the times and the indications of the future. The appropriations made at the present I session of Congress will amount to probably $65,000,0000. Of this however, but $58,000,000 will be required for the fiscal year 1859, the residue being incident to the fiscal year 1858. This nine millions and upwards for de ficiency of 1858 is no part of the ordinary expenses of the government. We can come back in time to the ordinary standard without any great difficulty, by retrench ment and reform. That retrenchment and . reform only begun at this session of Con tress cannot be effective. It must be derermined on at the next session of Con gress by legislation. There is no man in the country so wanting iu intelligence as not to know that under the system of enormous land grants for railroad purposes, and under the system of squandering the public money in building custom-house monuments all over the country, inaugu rated under a plethoric treasury, we can never reduce the expenditures of the government. We have novikone on from something like $50,000,000 a year to an expenditure of $70,000,000 or $80,000,- 000, not over two-thirds of which is legit imately expended for the purpose simply of conducting the government. I believe it is in the power of the democratic party —and it will beresponsible for it—to bring us back to a proper condition of economi cal expenditure ; but to enable us to do this we must first pay off the legacy en tailed upon us of old debts incurred by this system of unwise legislation, and begin our reform by diacoutlnuing.the practice. Our foreign relations now require an ex pansion in. only one direction—the increase of our navy. That is a legitimate exercise . of the powers of the government, and necessary to maintain our proper position in the family of nations. When the govern ment has ceased to build custom-houses and to multiply them all over the land, and ceased also to convert every depot in the country into ports of delivery; when the Capitol extension is completed, which may be in a year, and the other public buildings, Patent Office, Post Office Ex tension, Treasury, the Acqueduct, and when all these incidental expenses are got rid of, it will be within the power of the democratic party, under the counsels of our present President, to bring down the expenses of the government to $55,000,000 a year. I hope to see this realized in 1860. lam in favor of this reduction. It is utterly impossible for any party in power to bring about this reform at once. The great point to be aimed at is not to exhibit a parsimonious economy in repudiating our past debts, no matter how recklessly con tracted, nor in changing laws in appropria tion bills ; it must be done deliberately and systematically. It is not to be done by beginning at the heel of the session to exhibit a spirit of wonderful reform in scaling the public debt ; but you must begin at the beginning. Let the democratic party, which certainly holds power in this House one session more, (and if it will not go for reform, it does not deserve to be in power any longer, and holds the Executive and Senate for several years' to come,) commence at the beginning of the session, and we will care this evil. It will not do to exhibit a wonderful display of econo my just one or two days before the adjournment of the session in fillibustering on appropriation bills. I have to say, with all due deference to my friends on both sides of the House, that the country understands exactly what that is worth. Much capital is not made by it by any parties. m Am co :a t, G 3 Mr. Lovejoy. Will the gentleman from Pennsylvania let me say a word here 1 Mr. J. Glanoy Jones.

I have seen a good deal of it on both sides of the House, and not a little this morning in the war speech of my friend from Massachusetts, [Mr. Burlingame.] Mr. Lovejoy. You have not seen it on this side of the House on any single appro priation bill. Mr. J. Glancy Jones: rhave heard with in the last - half-hour a most treMendous demonstration - of what I call filibustering —a war speech on the loan bill, while - I know:that thegentlinnan who made it will not go for-paying expenses.

I could not let the opportunity pass without this remark, that it is ratker inconsistent in a gentleman . to rise here iu this body—and the country will fully ap preciate it—and assail the Executive of the United States, no matter to What party he may belong, for not prosecuting a war, when that gentleman, by virtue of his be ing a member of Congress, is expected to know that, under the jealous reserve of the constitution of the United States, the Ex , ecutive has not the power to lift one finger in hostility without the action of Congress; and still worse is it when that gentleman would not vote to give him that power to , day. If the gentleman means what he says, why does he not vote to give the Execn ' tive power ? The idea of finding fault with the Executive for not waging war, resent ing insults, &c., when he has neither pow er nor money given him by Congress to do either, is a species of demonstration which I should be sorry to see often exhibited here by friend or foe, and mu s t certainly (I say it with all due personal regard for my friend) bring Congress into ultimate contempt at home and abroad, wherever it is understood. I now send to the Clerk's desk the re ferred-to tabular statement of the estima ted receipts and expenditures for the next two qnarters—that is, from now until the Ist of January next ; and also for the four quarters of the current fiscal year—actual and estimated; CM= Estimated from customs, public lands and mis cellaneous, from July 1, 1858, to December 31, 1858, $25,000,000.00 From proceeds of loan, 15,000,000 00 EXPENDITURES.

Experience has taught us, however, especially under our present mint system, that we ought at all times to have a balance of $50,00,000 on hand in the treasury in order to work the ma chinery of the treasury department. We shall, therefore, .be short $3,000,000 of a good working balance: but it will be safe for months to rest it. I propose that the House pass this bill in its present shape, providing for a not exceeding six per cent. loan of 515,0.10,000 for fifteen years, and send it to the Senate. By the time the Senate takes action upon it it will be able to figure up the exact amount of the ap propriations that have been made, and if it shall be needed the Senate can increase it, and I shall ask the Howe to concur in such increase as they may propose on this basis. I have submitted these remarks hastily, and may modify them somewhat hereafter, in order to enforce and explain more frilly the positions takeii. CARDS. RE DI 0V A L.. ..WILLIAM S.
