REVENUE.

KL VENUE.
! THE nett revenue, aritng from duties on
merchandise and tonnage, which accrued du-
ring the year 1909, and on which the climates
OF iait year were prcdicated, amounted, as will
appear by the ltatement "a to ten millions one
hundred and Fifty four thouiand dollars. The
nett revenue, ariiing from the fame fourcs,
which accrued during the year iaoS, has a.
, mounted, AS appears by the fame Ratement, to
eleven millions three hundred and fix thoufand
dollars. And 1t is afcertained that the nett re-
venue which accrued during the three fri quar-
tiers OF the year 1904, conlderablv exceeds that
of the corresponding quarters of the year 1903.
Without drawing any inference from the in
create OF the preient year, an increafc which
muii be afcrlbed to the iituation of Europe, aud
will eventually be diminilied by fubfeouent re-
expectations shat branch o. the revenue NAV,
excluEvely of the Mediterranean fund, be iafeiy
eftimated at ten millions feven hundred and
thirty thouland dollars: which is the average
OF the two years 1909 and 1908. The actual
payments IN the treafury on account OF thofe
duties, during the year ending on the soth Sep
TENDER lait, amount nearly to the fame fun !;
(a) and there is no reaion to fuppofe that the
receipts of the enfung will fall ihort of thofe of
lait year.
The ftatemeht (B) exhibits, in detail, the fe-
vera ipecies of merchandise and other fources,
i'O'h winch lhdl ISNSHuc WAS COiSCtcu during
the year 1908.
1t ALTO appears that the revenue, arifing from
the fales Of public lands, is gradually eucreaiing
The Natement (C) ihews that, excIufveiy Of the
September fales at Cincinnati, three hundred
and fourteen thoufand acres have been fold du-
ring the year ending on the 3oth of September
lat. The proceeds Of theft Gslles, calculated
on the iuPPoition that every purchafer will be
entitled 20 the diicouut allowed in the cafe of
prompt payment, would yield five hundred and
fifteen tnoufand dollars. And notwithstanding
the difficulties which exit, in drawing into the
treatury the monies collected by the receivers of
the remote land Offices, it is believed that the
actual receipts from that fource, will, FOR the
eniulng year, exceed four hundred and fifty
thouiand dollars.
The permanent revenue of the United States,
may therefore, including the duties on potage
and other fmall incidental branches, be compu-
ted at eleven millions two hundredthoufand dol
lars.
, And the payments in the treafury during the
! year 1905, on account of the temporary duties
which confitute the IS Mediterranean fund.- are
eftiInated at five hundred and fifty thoufand
dollars; making in the whole, for the proba-
bic receipts of that year, fun of eleven MILL
onS ieven hundred and fifty thoufand
| Dollars, ll,75o,ooO
