reduce the revenue considerably, would encour
age the importation of unmanufactured wool, and
increase the, quantity thus brought in, and en
courage its manufacture here. No one can ob
ject,to this-mode of reducing the revenue. It
would benefit,, the American manufacturers of
woolen goods, cheapen the fabrics, and relieve
the people from an unnecessary burden.
Those who try to find. fault with the recom
mendations of the Treasurer's report, seem in
clined to charge all the financial difficulties of
the country at the present time to the account of
the tariff of 1846. The short crops; tho gen
eral extravazance ;'the over. trailing ; the general
haste to complete railroads on credit, and get
rich in brier :time, which have lately been so
much complained of, are now forgotten in the
anxiety of the opponents of the Democracy to
charge even the drought and its consequences
upon the present administration. If any one
supposes that a Ligh tariff would produce relief
to the finances of the country, let him remember
that the tariff now in operation is high enough
to produce some fifteen or twenty millions of
dollars a year more than can be used in the
proper administration of the government. There
are now nearly thirty millions in the treasury ;
looked up from use, unappropriated, and not
needed for any of the purposes of the govern
ment. Were that thirty millions of specie
to be immediately put into circulation, it
would afford more relief than any tariffs that
could be devised. Such a. revision Of the tariff
as will prevent this accumulation of money in
the Treasury hereafter, would be a great benefit
to the country. Adding a large number of im
ported articles, which do not come in competi
tion with our own manufactures, to the free list,
would be one means of occomplishing this pur
pose.

There seems to be a general impression flat
the present Congress will revise the tariff, sad
greatly reduce the scale of duties. We do oi,t
blieve that any serious changes will be made
during the present session. The recommends
ti ms of SeCretary Guthrie do not comprehend a
large reduction, as we understand them. He
reposes to enlarge the free list very considera
bly; and the articles ho proposes to add to that
lie: are of two classes: lat. Bach as are now
charged with very low duties—some of them
rtify 5, 10 or 15 per cent. Those are articles
that do not come into serious competition with
home manufactures. The second class are raw
materials brought into the country for mannfac
tore, such as wool ; and articles of general con
sumption; and that are not generally produced
• in this country.
The recommendations of the Secretary do not
propose a general redaction of duties. They
even propose an increase ore some articles of im
port. For instance, he recommends that there
be hereafter but two sohedulas of duties ; one cf
100 per cent., and the other of 25 per cent. In
this way all articles that now pay but 20, 15,10,
per cent., would, undet. the change proposed,
pay 25 per cent., or be added to the free list. In
recommending that unmanufactured wool be
added to the free list, the Secretary says :
"The consumption of wool In the United States for the
year 18.5.3. Is estimated at 200.000,000 roulade, of which 00,-

Postmaster General's ann e al *port.
We have received a copy rit tbe. annual report
of Judge Campbell, the Postmaster General,
and in a hasty glance at it find it to contain
great variety of interesting statistics and impor
tant suggestions touching this important branch
of the the public service, and evidencing, on the
part of the author, great industry, a careful
watchfulness of the duties committed to his
charge, and a desire to enlarge and render more
convenient and serviceable She postal arrange-,
ments of the whole country.
We are unable to find room for the report at
length, and therefore select from it such facts
and suggestions as are of general interest.
It sets out with stating thitt the whole number
of post-offices in the United States on the 30th
June, 1854, wai11.13,648. Of this number 257 are
offices the annnffi commissions from which am
ount to one thousand dollars or upwards. The
number of offices established during the last fiscal
year was 1,842, and the number discontinued
614, showing a nct increase in one year of 1,228.
The number of which the sites and .names have
been changed in the course of the year was 499.
The number of postmasters appointed during the
year was 8,618. Of these, 4,185 wore appointed
to fill vacancies occasioned by resignations; 1,977
by removals; 320 by deaths; 294 by change of
names sad sites; and 1,842 on establishment of
new offices. The total number of offices on the
Ist of December, 1854, was 23,925.
The total annual transportation of mails was
03,887,005 miles, costing $4,630,676.
Compared with the services of the 80th Juno,
1853, there is an increase of 1,494,463 miles of
transportation, or about 21 per cent., and of
$134,708 cost, being about three per centr The
increase oltrailroad service is 2,446,684 miles
and the expense $157,281, being 19 per cent,
in transportation, and not quite 1 per cent, in
cost.
The increased transportation by modes not spe
cified, is 377,157 miles, or about 1 per cent., at
a coat of $37,520, or 3 35-100 per cent.
The steamboat transportation during the past
year wasreduced 889,582 miles, or 15 per cent.,
at a reduced cost.of $143,230, or 29 7-10 per
cent.
A comparison of the service under the new
contracts commencing Ist Juiy last, as in opera
tion on the 30th September, with that under the
expired contracts in the northwestern and south
western sections of the Union, shows that the
annual transportation of mails has been increas
ed 2 990,860 miles, at an increased cost of $395,-
373 per annum, divided.,
The total annual transportation under the new
contracts, as adjusted for the quarter ending 30th
September, is 29,047,050 miles, and the total an
nual costs $2,375,789.
There were in service on the 30th June last
236 route agents, at a compensation of $181,600
per annum; 21 local agents, at $15,490 per an
num ; and 968 mail messengers, at $92,131 80 per
annum ; making a total cost of $289,1 . 21 89 per
annum to be added to the other cost of transpor
tation, stated above at $4,630,676.
There were in operation on the 30th of Sep
tember last 232 railroad routes; their aggregate
length was 16,621?, miles, and the cost of mail
transportation thereon was $1,923,747 89. Add
to this the sums paid mail messengers, route and
local agents, and the wholo costs of this service
will be $2,196,249,89.
In reference to the difficulties which continue
to exist in relation to the rate per mile to be
paid railroad companies, the report says:
The companies allege that the government
should not ask or expect them to perform for it
any service at a less rate than that paid by indi
viduals for similar services. This principle has
never been denied or disputed by the Postoffice
Department; but on the contrary, it has always
maintained—and this his ever been the great
cause of difficulty between the department and
the companies—that the government has been
charged and paying much greater prices than
those paid by individuals.
Whether this be so or not, is a matter that
could be easily settled by computation. And
when the Postoffice committee of the House of
Representatives at its last session proposed a bill
fixing certain rates per mile for mail transporta
tion on the roads, if it could have been shown
to them that the rates thus fixed were too low,
considering the weight of the mail, its importance,
and the facilities and space given for its transpor
tation, I am satisfied they would have at once in
creased the rates. What is required is to fix
fair and just prices, companies peforming similar
services to receive the same pay, which is not
now the case, and all of them to be paid accor
ding to the bulk of the mails, the speed with
which they are conveyed, and the secommations
required. The sums paid by express companies
would be a very unfair criterion by which to reg
ulate the charges to be paid for the conveyance
of the mails.
Controlled by no competition excepting such
as it is in the power of the railroad companies
themselves to prevent, they can pay any prices
which] may be demanded of them and assess it
upon their customers. It would be unjust,, too,
to found a calculation upon the assumption that
the mall car was twenty five feet in length, fifteen
for a mail room, and ten for a post-office, and
then to estimate and charge both for weight of
car and mails at fourteen tons. Accommoda
tions such as these are required both for the secu
rity of the mails and to enable route-agents
properly to discharge their duties ; and to this
fact, I early drew the attention of the companies,
but these accommodations have not been given.
Many of the railroads, desirous of properly serv
ing the public, devote a car exclusively for mail
purposes; but in the great majority of cases, a
car is divided between the government and the
express companies, or a space is apportioned off
for the route-agent, the mail being placed with
the baggage in one and the balance et the car
being appropriated for a smoking-room.
The calculations which I have made, and those
which some of the companies make, differ moat
widely, and show,that they are receiving for the
mail much more than for first class freight, but
the question whether the calculations of the de
partment or the companies be correct could be
readily settled by a committee of Congress ; and
if the companies wish government to pay them
only such prices as they receive from individuals
the whole matter is one of easy solution. In the
opinion that this government is paying much
more for railroad mail service than it is worth, I
have been confirmed by the prices paid for simi
lar services in England, France, Germany and
Canada. With the Great Western Railway CUM
pany in the latter country, the department in
March last entered into a contract.,to carry the
United States mail from Suspension Bridge, New
York, to Detroit, Michigan, for the sum of thirty
dollars a mile. The same cars carry the local
Gana' .' and if the Canadian government al
low this company thirty dollars smile in addition
to the sum received from this department, this
important trunk ; road will be receiving SGO a mile.
It is of very great importance that kind rela
tions should always exist between the Postoflice
Department and the different railroad companies,
because when such is the case the public inter
ests are always better served. It has been, and
will ever be, my effort to preserve these rela
tions. Exorbitant demands for services, however,
will always be refused; and when a schedule is
arranged, not by the department alone, because
it has no such power, but by the joint concur
rence of the department and the company, who
always have regarded the local business of the
road, the public officer would be derelict in his
duty who would not exact a conformity thereto.
Unless such were the case, there would bo no or
der or regularity in the mail system, and business
in its thousand ramifications would be seriously
disturbed.
When a fine is laid, if afterwards good cause be
shown, it is always remitted ; but it is not assert
ing too much to say, that every delay of the mail
causes embarrassment, if not injury, to hundreds
and therefore every excuse should be carefully
examined. The merchant, manufacturer, and
farmer rely upon the mail principally for their re
mittances. All classes of our citizens anxiously
await the arrival of their letters and newspapers;
and if through the inattention or neglect of the
railroads companies or their agents, delays take
place, what good reason can be assigned why
they should not be treated as other contractors 7
The report refers to measures necessary to pre
vent frauds on the department, and to expedite
the distribution of mailmatter. The new schemes
of distribution, now in operation, it is supposed,
will ensure greater speed and regularity.
Of the sum of $8,577,424 12 expended by the
department for the last fiscal year, there was paid
as compensation to postmasters, $1,707,708 29 ;
extra compensation to postmasters by the act of
March 3, 1851, $84,799 97; ship, steamboat, and
way letters, $19,549 67 ; transportation of the
mails, including the mails to Bremen, Havre, and
Havana, and the mails across the Isthmus of
P anama, $5,401.,;.:2 60, and the balance for vari
ous specified purposes.
The gross revenue of the fiscal year was as
follows :

This leaves a deficiency of $1,621,837 90, to
which must be added other balance, making a
total deficiency of $1,755,321 23, wbich is $361,-
756 97 less than the deficiency of the previo .
year.
The report, referring to the act of August 30,
1852, fixing the rates of postage, on printed mat
ter, Says:
In this act there is a clause which provides
that w when the postage upon any newspaper or
periodical is paid quarterly or yearly in advance,"
one-half only of the regular rates spell be
charged. In view of the trivial increase of the
postage on printed matter, and of the extremely
low rates, particularly for newspapers and period
icals, I would recommend that the law be so far
changed as to omit the clause referred to, leaving
the department to fall back upon the act of 1825,
under which quarterly payments in advance
on newspapers and periodicals have heretofore
always been required. ,
The propriety of this recommendation is thus
enforced
If my recommendation be adopted, the quar
terly postage, forlnstance, on a weekly newspaper
or periodical not exceeding ono and a halt ounce,
circulated in the State where published, (and in
the same proportion for more frequent publica
tions,) will be six and a half cents ; and when not
over three ounces in weight, sent to any part of
the United States, thirteen cents a quarter. The
newspapers to subscribers living in the county
where published will continue to go free.
The expenses of the current year ending June
30, 1855, will greatly exceed those of the put
year. In many sections of the eonntry, the cost
of transporting the mails will be considerably
enhanced. The act of Congress increasing the
commissions and compensation of postmasters,
will also add considerably to the expenses.
It is estimated that the expenditures for the
year 1855, exclusive of payments for foreign
portages accruing within the year, will be about
$9,841,921 33, and the receipts aboit $9,989,944-
90, leaving a surplus of $198,023 63.
During the three years which commenced on
the Ist July, 1851, and ended on the 30th June,
1854, the department issued 166,126,417 postage
stamps, and 25,076,666 stamped envelops,
amounting in the aggregate to $5,507,922 03, of
which $:5,092,301 73 were sold, being about 92?,
per cent. of the whole amount issued.
Attention is called to the necessity of a better
mode of examining and checking the quarterly
returns of postmasters.
In view of the many depradations on the mails,
'and the heavy losses of money, the Postmaster
General has devised a plan of registration, of
which he says :
It provides that receipts shall be given for val
uable letters when posted, and that duplicates of
these receipts shall bo kept for reference at the
office of mailing; that the full address of such
letters shall be entered on a separate post bill,
Ins copied at large upon an accetnit
to be kept of registered letters sent. The post
bill is to he forwarded in a scaled envelope, sep
ajato from the package of letters to which it re
lates, and its receipt at the office of its destina
tion is to be acknowledged by a duplicate there
of returned to the office of mailing—marked cor
rect, or otherwise, as it may be found on com
parison.
It provides that at the large offices valuable
letters shall be received at one window only, and
that the receiving clerk shall check them to the
register clerk, and he to the mailing clerk. It is,
in abort, designed to fix responsibility and to
furnish means which do not now exist for tracing
a missing letter from the point of its reception to
that of its disappearance. To carry this plan
into effect, it will be required that new and ex•
pensive blanks be prepared and distributed, and
that an increased clerical three be- employed in
the principal postotlices. I have not, therefore,
felt at liberty to adopt it without the sanction of
Congress, and authority to establish such ad
ditional rate of postage on this class of letters as
may be deemed adequate to the expense of reg
istration.
In Great Britain the " registration fee on in
land and most foreign letters. is sixpence sterling
(about twelve cents) in addition to the ordinary
rates of postage, and it is expressly provided that
" such registration shall not render the Postmas
ter General or the postodice revenue in any man
ner liable for the loss of any such post letters or
the contents thereof." It is believed that au
thority to establish an additional rate of five cents
on each letter registered, and to require the
postage on all registered letters to be prepaid,
would enable the department to carry into effect
the plan here submitted without prejudice to its
revenue.
It is not proposed to make the registering of
valuable letters compulsory, nor that the goverii
meat shall become liable for such letters when
lost, but only to enable each person mailing a
valuable letter to do so In the ordinary manner,
or to add something to its security by the itay.
meat of a small registration fee.
I have no doubt that the registration of valua
ble letters, as proposed, would be highly appre.
elated as a means of security by the large com.
mercial classes of the community, whose collec
tions and exchanges are made principally through
the mails, and who have from time to time urged
in vain upon this department the adoption of
same such plan for their protection. I believe,
too, that such a system of registration would re
lieve this department from the imputation of nu•
merous losses not properly chargable upon it—
cases in which valuable letters alleged to have
been lost through the mails, either never reached
any postoflice, or have been stolen after arriving
at the places of their destination.
The cost of the service for the last fiscal year
on the several U. S. mail steamship lines, and
across the Isthmus of Panama, is as follows:
Now York to Liverpool, Collins line, twenty-six
round trips, $858,000 00
Now York, via Southampton, to Bro.
men, eleven round trips, - - 183,333 2f,
Now York, via Cowes to Havre, 11
round trips, - - 137,600 00
New York and New Orleans to Aspin
wall, twenty-lour round trips, inclu
ding same number of trips between
New York and New Orleans via Ha
vans, - - - -
Astoria, via San Francisco, to Pana
ma, twenty-four round trips, . 848,250 00
Charleston via Savannah and Key
West, to Havana, twenty-four round
trips,
New Orleans to Vera Cruz, twenty
four round trips, omitting Tampico, 37,2n0 00
Aspinwall to Panama, - - 110,727 03
By the act of Congress approved the third of
March, 1817, the President was authorized to
contract for the construction and equipment of
four first-class sea-going steamships, to be attach
ed to the navy of the United States.
Here follows a recapitulation of the several
contracts made under this act, and the report pro
ceeds :
The object of Congress in the passage of this
act seems to have been to build up a naval steam
marine, which might temporarily be employed for
commercial purposes. lu order to enable private
individuals to build and equip these steamships in
the mode pointed out by Congress, sums of money
were advanced to them, and to sustain them until
wanted for government purposes largo sums of
money were paid them for conveying the mail.
If, in the progress of time, it is discovered that
these steamships are not suited for naval purposes,
or that the large sums paid their owners for mail
transportation have created a monopoly, checking
the energy and enterprise of others of our citi
zens, Congress, in my opinion, is called upon to
terminate their contracts, if it can do so consis
tently with plighted faith. By the terms of the
act, and of the contracts entered into between the
Navy Department and these companies in pursu
ance of this act, it will be seen that Congress re
served to itself the right to purchase the steam
ships, and thus terminate the connection between
the companies and the government. When they
have been paid for their vessels the sums fixed by
the appraisers mutually chosen, everything has
been done which the faith of the nation requires.
The report proceeds to the expression of an
opinion, that the prices now paid are entirely too
high for the service rendered, and institutes a
comparison between the amounts paid by the
British and the American governments, showing
that the latter pay nearli double, of about the
same amount for semi-monthly trips that tho for
mer pays for weekly trips.
In view of the probable increased demand of
the contractors, in the enjoyment of the monopo.
ly at the expiration: of their contracts, the opinion
is expressed, that the prescribed notice for the
termination of the contract should be now given.
The report says:
It is true there is a difference in the tonnage of
the Collins and Cunard lines, and that the Amer
ican steamers make their voyages in a shorter
time ; but the difference in the tonnage and speed
of the tWo lines does not, in my judgment, afford
any valid reason why there should be so marked
a disparity in the prices paid by the two govern
ments.
No progress has been made since my last annual
report in the pending negotiations with Great
Britain relative to the admission of France into
the arrangement as oontemplated by the provision
in the 12th article of our postal convention.
According to the report, it seems that all at,
innipte tp induce Great Britain to complete nego
'tiations have failed.' And the inference is pretty
clear, that Great Britain finds her present interest
in the policy of things as they are. Under th
present arrangement, the single rate of postage

States packets, is six cent higher on each letter
of the weight of one-quarter ounce and under
than by British packets, and, consequently, much
the larger part of the correspondence is still di-
Terted to the British lines.
$6,056,586 22
For instance, taking the weight of the French
mails 'received at New York by the Cunard pack
ets to be the same with that received by these
packets at Boston,4nd reckoniqg four letters to
the ounce, the number of French letters brought
by the Cunard line during the year was 287,676,
while the number received by the Collins steam- '
ors, performing just half as many trips, was only
41,608—105 s than one-fifth- The present treaty
in other respects, gives an undue advantage to
Great Britain, and operates to the serious injury
of the United States. Under its provisions, an
excess of at least $76,000 British postages has,
during the last year, been collected by the United
States for the British office over and above the
whole amount of United States postages collected
by Great Britain. This large balance of British
postages has been collected at an actual expense
of about $61,000, in the shape of commissions to
our postmaiters ; and this department suffers also
the additional loss by exchange, &c., necessary
to place the money in possession of the British
office in London, of not less than $3,600. When
it is considered that all this outlay is made on our
part without receiving any equivalent in return,
one of the most striking inequalities of the ex
isting arrangement is pointedly exhibited.
No satisfactory progress has been made to
wards effecting a postal convention with France,
nor has theicontemplated arrangement with Bel
gium been yet consummated.
Some steps have been taken with reference to
a postal convention with Mexico. A mutual
ex
change of dead letters has already been agreed
upon and carried into effect.
Under our postal convention with Great Brit
, ain, the Philadelphia postoffice, with the concur
rence of that government, has been constituted
an office of exchange for United States and Brit
ish mails. A proposition for the reduction of
pamphlet and magazine postage between the two
countries to one cent an ounce on either side,
has been positively declined by the British Post
Department. The combined rate is at present al
together too high, being eight cents an ounce fur
all works of this kind above the weight of two
ounces.
A statement of arrangements, concluded in
March last, for the transportation of mail matter
between the United States and Australia, is giv
en, with the rates of postage, as follows: Five
cents a letter, two cents each fur newspapers, and
once cent an ounce or fraction of an ounce for
pamphlets and magazines, prepayment required.
These rates embrace both the United States in
land and sea postage.
The report concludes with an acknowledgment
of the faithful service of the assistants, chief and
other clerks during the year.

scarcely one-fourth that amount.
