Year 1878.
The nett revenue arising from duties on
merchandise and tonnage, which accrued dur
ing the year 1910, amounted Sl2,5i3,49o.
The nett revenue arising from the samc
sources which accrued during the year 1911,
amounted, rs will appear by the statements
(A. and b. TO 1902, $50 dollars.
The same revenue for the year 1912, is
estimated at i2,soo,0oo dollars, Of which
sum about 5,5oo,ooc, arise from duties on

1918, may be estimated at 1880, 900 dolls.

Ohio, during the year ending ON the 3oth

the purchasers 10 10000 dollars. The In
dian wars may afiect the sales, and perhaps
TO a certain extent the amount Of payments.
Ii is, however, believed, that that branch of
revenue may together with some other small
items be estimated for tho ensuing year at
100000 dollars, making the whole amour, Of
