Ihe estimate of revenue from all sources for
1870 has been made $S5o,0o0 lower than that for
1927. This has been doue 10 gnar,i as far as nos
sble against unicvorable contingencies Never
theles-, the present estimate is formed on larger
amount OF duties scored by bond on merchant e
imported, than the estimate for 1927. Hence there
reason, from all present Appearances, TO believe
/ That although the estimate for IS2S isless than
mat Tor 1877, the receipts will prove greater.
All which is most respectfully submitted.
