To the Congress of t/ I'nit.il 



I; _'n-t tini: 'lie iieccs-ily which ha- rnjnired me 

 to call you together. I feel' that your assembling in 

 extraor'diii u is indi-pensal.le I 



the coiiilitioii in which We find the revenues of the 

 nment. It is conce.led that it- current ex- 

 penditures are greater than its receipts, and that 

 such a condition ha< exi-ted for now more than 

 three y, ,n~. \Vith unlimiied means at our com- 

 mand. \\. 'itin.i: the remarkal'!- 



of increa-in.i: "ur public debt br borrowing moiMj 

 to meet the ordinary outlays Incident upon even an 

 economical and prudent administration of theCov- 

 ernment. An examination of the subject di- 

 this fact in every detail and leads inevitably to the 

 conclusion that the condition of the n venue which 

 allows it is unjustifiable and should be corrected. 



\\ e find by the report* of ! the 



Treasury that the revenue* f.,r t he liscai
