The data on which that result rests are

• 1. That the impost shall not receive any considerable shock either from the want of a general peace or by our being involved in the war
• 2. That its gradual increase will cover any unforeseen contingencies other than that of an European war
• 3. That the strictest economy will be recommended by the Executive & adopted by Congress, and principally in the War & Navy establis ments, so far as to make reductions which will limit their expence to the 1,400,000 dollars
• 4. That the payment of British debts may be principally covered by our demands for spoliations since Jay’s treaty

The only financial operation necessary is that of obtaining such temporary loans from the Bank, as may equalize the instalments of the Dutch debt.
