shibits an increase. Of the Tariff of l846, Of
one million and four thousand dollars.
This is exclusive of the duties accrued on
goods in warehouses under the new ware
housing law, which is nearly half a million,
and will make the total augmentation of
duties accured during the first seven months

ed with hsthe same time under the Tariff Of
1912, about one million and half of dol
lars.
Since my last letter to you, we have
received returns for the month of June,
and the first ten days of July, which would
seem to indicate that the augmentation of
revenue is still progressing.
