The operations Of the Tariff act of 40,
have been during the past year such as
fully to meet the public expectations, and
to confirm the opinion heretofore ex-
pressed Of the wisdom Of the change in
our revenue system which was expected
by US. The receipts under it into the
Treasury for the fiscal year after it's en-
actment, exceeded by the sum Of 95. 44O,
4O3 09, the amount collected during the
last fiscal year under the Tariff act Of AZ,
ending tho l3ab Of June, ,46. The tuta
revenue realized from the commencement,
of its operation on the LIST Of December.
lH46, until the close of the last quarter,
on the 3hh Of September last, being %
months, was $50 65 1868 -, being a
much larger sum than was ever before
received from duties for any equal period
Under the repeal Of highly protective ana
prohibitOry duties, the revenue has been
increased. and the taxes ON the people
have been diminished. They have been
relieved from the heavy am 'nts with which
they were burdened under former laws
in the form Of increased prices or boun-
ties paid to favored classes a0d pursuits.
The pre- l;ctions that were made, that the
Tariff &C; Of '46 would reduce the amour,
ofrevenue below that collected under the
act of '42,and would Prostrats the business
and destroy the prosperity Of the coun-
try, have not been verified. With an in.
creased and increasing revenue the finan
ces are in highly flourishing condition.
Agriculture, Commerce, and Navigation,
are prosperous.
