that the revenue, as well as the expenses of government, will increase
annually; we therefore estimate that increase at 10 per cent, per
annum, over and above the increase of the expenses of the State
government. We shall also set apart all moneys that belong to the
bank loan fund and the sinking fund, for the purpose of paying the
bank loan bonds and the 5 per cent, bank loan stock, having the res-
idue of our domestic debt part to be paid before we can appropriate
any thing to the payment of our bonded debt.
Our domestic debt, including interest to the 1st day
of January, 1845, is - - - . - - $1,521,262
From which we may deduct amount to be paid by
Sinking Fund, - - ,- ,- - - - 579,262
Applicable to the payment of this is the revenue for

Thus it will be seen that our domestic debt will be paid off by the
1st of January, 1850, and leave in the Treasury applicable to the
payment of our bonded debt, the above sum of $178,024.
Our bonded debt, agreeably to the Governor's mes-
sage, exclusive of the bank loan debt, is - - $10,828,000
Interest from 1st January, 1841, to 1st January, 1850,
nine years, is - - - - 4,888,080
' - ■■ ■'■■ . '" ^■ ■ '■ ■'■ • '^ ' 15,716,080
Amount of revenue for 1849, applicable to the pay-
ment of the above, is 178,024

Annual interest on the above sum, is 776,902
Revenue for 1850, is - - - 288,763
Showing a deficit to pay the interest for 1850, of - 488,139
Without having any means, whatever, to sink the principal of our
debt.
The enquiry naturally arises, will the people of the State of Indi-
ana suffer themselves to be taxed 60 cents on the $100 in order to
meet the interest of the public debt; give up all the revenues to be
drawn from our bank stock? There then is no way presented to view
by which they can ever pay off this unfortunate debt, illegally con-
tracted, but by an additional and oppressive tax upon them and their
property for several generations to come. We are of the opinion
that it would be more than folly to attempt such a course ; that it
would be an injury to the holders of our bonds. That it might cre-
ate such a prejudice in the minds of the people against the holders of
our public securities, that time would not obliterate this feeling, and
''-■'■. 524 ■■ V • ■.. •. ■
the payment of a great portion of the debt might be endangered. It
is then left with the bondholder to decide for himself, whether he will
now enter into an arrangement to fund the whole debt in accordance
with the justice of the case and our ability to pay, or let matters
rest as they are, with a hope that the State may yet have resources
unknown and altogether improbable.
We will not dictate to our bondholders, but will recommend to
the Legislature the appointment of a commissioner, as suggested by
his excellency, the Governor, to receive from the holders of our
sureties, such propositions as they may be pleased to make to him ;
jind we will take the liberty to make some suggestions that may be
profitable to them. They are these : That in making these proposi-
tions to our commissioner that they take into their calculation,
1st. That Indiana does not acknowledge that our bonds were sold
according to their will and the law emanating therefrom.
2nd. That money is now vy^orth, in comparison with property,
three times as much as it was worth at the time of the sales of their
bonds, and that, therefore, if they had invested their money in other
property, that it would not now command more than one third of
the money that they would have paid for it.
3rd. That the bonds are not in first hands, and, therefore, did not
cost the holder half their face.
4th. That the amount of bonds which the State ought to give in
exchange for them, now in the hands of our creditors, ought to be
an amount that would produce the sg.me amount of interest that is
produced by bonds held by them against European debts, which is
equal to two and a half per cent, interest on the interest of our bonds
in present hands. This arrangement would fund our bonds at about
twenty-five cents to the dollar on our debt and interest.
Should such a proposition as this come from the holders of our
bonds, it might well be considered by our Legislature, whether an
arrangement might not be made with our domestic creditors so as to
command the payment of our bondholders, their interest at least, on
the 1st day of January, 1847. On this hypothesis we proceed to
show how our State debt may be fully paid with the revenues de-
rived from our present revenue laws.
1st. We have our bank loan bonds to be paid by the . ^ •
revenue derived from the bank, and state the residue ' ' .
of the bonded debt to be, as shown in the fore
part of this report, - - - $10,828,000
